GREAT NEWS!!!!!!!!!
I have a WONDERFUL testimonial!!!  So I was obidient for the Lord. Ever since I've rededicated my life, wholeheartedly-my life has changed, dramatically-wonderfully-only because of God's everlasting mercy and pure-enjoying-enduring love that never ceases to fail-Amen?? After southeast campmeeting in Ketchikan, at that time,  it was a month since I've last popped in a Led Zeppelin album, a Nirvana or any other worldly influence that was bombarding my thoughts and blocking me from God's true purpose for my life.Today, thus marks 2 months! Woo-hoo!! I figured, "Ah...maybe I'll just sell my cd's and whatever profit I make, I'll give it to the church." But GOD said, "No."  "Okay." I say. A week passes on by when this preacher guy from...South America or some sort, and he made this statment where, "You shouldn't have to sell drugs to make a living...(etc. etc.)" and that really ministered to me. i'm like, "yeah! yeah! "I look at my cd's, contemplating, "Ah, I'll get to it eventually." Right there you could be thinking, "Uh-oh....he's delaying his blessing!!!" It wasn't until Paula White came along one Saturday morning. She was on fire, and God used her in a mighty way. "Don't just offer a hundred dollars. Make a sacrifice-something that will cost you!...." Of course, I didn't have the cash or an "online transfer" capability (at this time  )At that time, I held a handful of cd's, and I can hold a bundle! I asked myself, "MAN.....I wonder how much all this costed me??" Not by price alone, but spiritually.Thoughts were running through my mind, wondering what my friends are going to say, such as: "WHAT?? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU WERE GOING TO DO THIS?!?!" And God said, "It's only temporary. You can't take it with you. It's all going to burn up anyways (a new heaven and a new earth, praise the Lord!)" And it came to pass.......... I was at work, cleaning out the closet (notice the symbolic attribute!) and my boss, Mae Williams, ends up going through her files that were in boxes, throwing old paper work into the trash, telling me, "Roger. Have Mary-Jo go through these and have these ones placed on my desk in a red folder. I want you to place this (the trash) by your desk so that you and Butch can go out to the dump and burn them sometime tomarrow." PRAISE GOD!!! In my room, alllllll my cd's were already in a box, waiting to be thrown out of my life, into the fire. It was all aligned up, perfectly in God's will!! Today, when I came to work, out of obedience, I brought that 50 pound box of cd's, and brought them out to the dump with Mae's files. 116 cd's!! With 2 box-sets!! A total value of, (an estimation of $17.99/CD) $2086.84!!!!! PRAISE THE LORD!!!!    Not only that, but when I first stepped out of the truck (a step of faith??), the FIRST thing I noticed??? somebody ELSE'S cd's, laying there as trash!!!! GOD-IS-GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD.God really spoke to me today, thoughout His message. Obedience & Faith. And I truely believe that He will accelerate His blessings that's in His storehouse-according to my faith and ULTIMATELY His will. I'm nothing withouth the Lord-and this is HIS glory, shining through-yet, another testimony. God is good. ALL the time! I don't take the glory, but this is what the Lord has done in MY life!! WOOOOOOOO!! I really thank the Lord for delevering me from the lusts of this world. Of the flesh. Be ye not conformed to this world, but for the next to come!!! I had another revelaaaaaaaaaaaaation! And this morning? When I was praying?? I told God and myself, "Today's going to be a GOOD day today. Something beautiful is going to happen today. Today's a new day. God, grant me favor over my life. Lord, I love you-and I will obey your word, your ways and your commandments. Help me Lord, as I offer you my life." Boy-I never thought it would turn out like this!! I was expecting it, but I never thought of it this way. Only GOD can do that. Which brings to my conclusion of what the Lord taught me a week ago: "Don't worry how He's going to take you through the victory (how He's going to operate), just believe that He will answer!" Simply put? TRUST GOD IN ALL HIS WAYS. God bless you all. Forever and ever, Amen. |
