Which door are you headed toward?

Traveling down this road of life, we often try to open doors that were never meant for us to go through. When that doesn't work out, we get frustrated and upset. We wonder what went wrong. However, when we look back after stepping through the doors that God has opened for us we will see that the disappointments and sadness of the closed doors worked out for the better. This is what Paul was talking about when he told the church at Rome that all things work together for good to them that love God and to them who are called according to His purpose. (Romans 8:28)

Tonight, ask God to open the correct doors for your life. Ask Him to open the doors that He would have you to go through. When you do and you go through those God opened doors you will live a much more satisified life knowing that all things have worked out for good.

I've been doing alot of this lately, asking Him to open up the doors He wants for me to step through.

Miracles



In the Bible we read of countless miracles. They happened all throughout from Old Testament to New. We read of miracles of healing. We are told about miracles of restoration. We are amazed by the miracle of resurrection. What ever the event, God was the source of each and every one. So, these has led many to wander, are the days of miracles over?

With that question out there, what do you think? Are miracles a thing of the past? Oh wait, it don't matter what we think. God is still in the miracle working business! Problem is that we stand in the way. We have let our prayer life diminish to the point that we don't spend enough time in prayer. This lack of prayer starves our faith which in turn hinders that miracle that is sometimes needed in our lives.

One day, we will need a miracle of healing or even of restoration so I challenge you to start today to spend more time in prayer. Make it a point to spend quality time in prayer and worship. Wade out deeper into the waters of God's spirit and draw closer to Him. This will grow your faith and as that faith grows stronger miracles will soon follow.

The Beginning

I ran across these today and they brought back some memories. Many have wondered how this ministry exactly got started and the pictures show the very beginning. Back in the early 90's I knew I had to do something for God. I could feel Hi...s tug on my life. So back before there was an internet, I began to write short devotionals called The Good News. I typed them on an old typewriter and made copies of them. I then folded them over and mailed them to whoever I could think of about once a month. Seems like ages ago. So thankful for where God has brought from to where it is today. Back then I never dreamed that my ministry would touch every continent and over 27 different nations. Neither did I dream that God would bring me from behind the keyboard to speaking in front of a congregation. I am so excited and so expecting for what God is going to do next with me in ministry. I am looking for open doors and areas of opportunity to serve God. Please be praying with me for the doors and oportunites to come forth. Looking for great things to come
