WHAT FLOWS FROM YOUR LIFE?

According to dictionary.com an aquifer is any geological formation containing or conducting ground water, especially one that supplies the water for wells, springs, etc.

The process of removing that water is by pressure. When you are placed under pressure and squeezed, what begins to flow from your life.

My grandmother is the aquifer for the Creekmore family. Mamie was such a Godly woman, that when she was pressed or squeezed the liquid that flowed from her life was Jesus Christ, the Living Water. I long to be like her and be filled with the Holy Spirit to the point that others see Jesus in my life, even when I am mistreated.

When a person has a solid aquifer and that foundation is Jesus Christ, others will notice. When that foundation has been one of abuse, drugs and alcohol, it becomes that person’s tendency to have a gusher of foul language, abuse or murder erupt from the aquifer. The scripture says in Mt 12:34 …..for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. If our lives are filled with the Holy Spirit, there will be no room for any other substance. When a cup is filled to the brim with water, you can’t pour oil into the cup. The oil will just slide off of the water onto the table, as this is true with the Living Water. If a life is filled with the Holy Spirit, there isn’t room for the things that satan tries to pour into our daily lives. The scripture says in Eph 5:18 “................. but be filled with the Spirit;”.

LET YOUR LIGHT SO SHINE

Mt 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.


What does the world see when they look at you.  Jesus said, "You are the light of the world.

How To Change Generation X

Do you know what made them the Generation X.  When on stone at a time was removed from the foundation of America, we ended up with Generation X.  It took one pebble and one stone at a time. 

Remove Prayer From Public School
Roe Vs Wade - Abortion bacame rampant
Remove 10 Commandments from Public Offices
Remove Prayer From Sports Events
Children not having the freedom to write school papers on anything that condemns these things being pushed over on us. 

Removing one stone at a time caused our christian foundation to crumble and if you notice if we start putting stone upon stone and pebble upon pebble that we can also start building the X back up.   We see that the same X can also become a cross.  All it takes is buillding the proper foundation under it.  We have allowed. satan convince us that our foundation wasn't important causing us to beleive we don't need that cross but now that Satan has nearly won the battle even the lost world is starting to realize the need for the cross.  It's our responsibility to help build this foundation back so that the world will say,"They said they was the generatrion X but they have been proven to be Generation Christ.

LOOK WHAT GOD IS DOING!

You may not be able to see God himself, but you can see where he has been and can see where he is, by the movement of what is taking place.  God is truely moving at Northside Baptist Church.   You must attend to see just what he is doing.  What an exciting thing to be a part of.   We have prayed for such a time as this.  We asked God to fill our Sunday School classes he is in control and has filled our Wednesday night services with 87 kids.  We have no special programs to offer but they are flooding in the doors.  God has intrusted them to us for a reason.  May we not allow Satan to steal one of these precious souls.  When I walk through the Gate of Glory, I hope and pray I wasn't more worried about a spill or kids being too rowdy but that I was more concerned about where they spend eternity.  

MAY WE ALL HAVE A VISION TO CHANGE OUR WORLD.

FROM THE WORLD'S VIEW

Matthew 5:16

 

Let your light so shine before men,

that they may see your good works,

and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

As children, we can remember singing, “This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.” In this song, it refers to our Christian light as a candle that can light up a room. Lately I’ve been thinking about our light in a whole new way – as a much larger light, one that can illuminate the entire world. In this comparison, we are going to be looking at things this way.

• The Sun: Jesus Christ

• The Moon: Christian

• The Earth: People of the World (Unbelievers)

• Darkness: Sin

• Light: Our Christian Witness

Did you know that the moon does not actually carry its own light? The reason it appears to be illuminated is because reflects the light from the sun. How cool that something just reflecting the light of the Sun can light up the entire night sky. This is the way that we as Christians should be reflecting the light of Christ. We cannot light the world on our own, but if we reflect the light of the Son, we can spread God’s light in a glorious display for the whole world to see.

There are times when we see a full moon, a gibbous moon, a half moon, or a crescent moon. It all depends on the position of the Moon and the Earth in perspective to the Sun. So it is that the light we reflect upon the world is in dependent solely on the position of Christ in our lives.

When the Moon is directly lined up with the Sun, we can see it in all of its brilliance – the Full Moon. So it is that when we as Christians are lined up with our Savior, the world can see us in all of God’s brilliance.

When the Moon turns its face slightly away from the Sun, it becomes covered by the shadow of the earth, making it gibbous. As it moves further, it becomes a half moon and then a crescent moon. So it is that when we turn away from the light of the Lord Jesus Christ, we move further into the shadow of the world, allowing sin to creep into our walk. That is when our light fades and eventually falters.

As the Moon moves back around the Earth and is once again the Sun, it begins to reflect more and more of the light from the Sun. It becomes a half moon, then a crescent moon, and finally a full moon once again. So it is with our Christian walk. As we begin to face our Savior again, we are able to light up the world with the love of Christ.

These celestial bodies have no control over the lunar cycle. They cannot decide to just stop their movement. The Lord made them the way they are for a reason. If they ceased their cycle, the world would be overtaken by a plethora of natural disasters. But unlike these bodies, we can determine our cycle. We can decide to keep our faces toward the face of God, or we can allow the world to come between us, making us just as dark as the rest of the world.

It is your choice. What does the world see when they see you? The world – or rather people in the world – can only identify us as Christians by the way we live our lives. As Christians, it is our job to tell everyone we encounter the word of salvation – reflecting the light of Christ for the whole world to see.

YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD!

WANT TO BE SURROUNDED BY ANGELS - WORSHIP

Why is it, that when we are in trouble, 

we cry out to the Lord, "Lord, send 

your angels to come and watch over 

us and keep us from harm?" 

"Lord, we pray that your angels 

minister to our needs."  Why would 

we pray for one or two of his angels 

to watch over us when we could 

have a whole multitude of angels 

surrounding us?

God's throne is surrounded by angels 

crying "Holy, holy, holy, Lord 

God Almighty …

" (Revelation 4.8). 

Let us therefore come boldly 

unto the throne of grace, 

that we may obtain mercy, 

and find grace to help in time of need.

Hebrews 4:16

All we need to do is enter into his presence 

through worship. Just begin singing praises 

to God and enter into His throne of grace

and you will be surrounded by all 

the angels that are around his throne. 

Why pray for a few angels when you 

can be protected by so great a 

throng of angels and by the
Lord God Almighty?

WHO'S FEET WOULD YOU CHOOSE?

If you were going to start a ministry who would you choose to be the feet of your ministry.  God has shown me not to rely on what I feel but on what he wants.  I have a lady that challenged me in the ministry.  She has Cerebal Palsy and is in a wheel chair.  She told me at the beginning of the "Digging A Well" ministry, that she wanted to be my feet.  Many people would have laughed by this statement.  I really felt lead that God wanted Jonean to be the "Feet Of The Ministry".   Jonean has truly been the feet of the mninistry.  She has been a blessing in my life in so many ways.  If Jonean wasn't a part of this ministry, I am positive that this ministry would not exist.  When I feel like giving up she urges me on.  She believes with all her heart that this is a ministry that is going to help many women become diggers Of faith. 

If you were going to choose someone to be the feet of you ministry, would you choose the feet that has been to the beauty salon, perfectly painted, no bunyons, wearing the most expensive cute flip flops or would you choose someone in a wheel chair.  Too many times our choices are made by the outward appearance instead of looking on the heart.  Maybe this is why so many times we fail in the ministry. 

God has shown me he can use people who are disabled to use their disability for him.  A blind person will be able to see things that we can't because they use their spiritual insite.  A person that is confined to a bed, can minister deeper than those of us who come and go daily as we please.  May God continue to show those of you with disabilities that you can be used in a powerful way for his glory.  If you have CP, MS, Cancer, Heart Desease, or any other thing you feel has stopped your well from flowing.  Pray and ask God how he can use your disability for His glory.  I am positive he will do this if you are willing to give that disablilty to him.

GOD PAINTED A POEM

I painted a poem just for you,

One you could read each day.

I painted the stars, moon and the sun,

And I set them in the perfect place.

The stars to twinkle and make you smile.

The moon to highlight your face.

The sun to shine when you are cold,

To remind you, I will keep you safe.

I even added the clouds, to soften the heat.

The rain to renew and restore .

And if looking close, you will see

I painted in, Love and Joy

I painted the wind to drive your troubles away

Sometimes it blows so hard and strong

The trials you have, will take a strong wind

This to shall pass, he will right all the wrong.

I painted in butterflies, flowers and trees.

Rivers, oceans, lakes and seas.

I painted the birds to fly in the breeze.

I painted the rainbows for all to see.

I painted this poem, just for you

So you could plainly see,

You are loved and cared for by Him

He's come to set you free.

CLOUDING MY VIEW

A trip to the McDonald Observatory, an astronomoy observation center close to Fort Davis, made me do some thinking. We drove three and a half hours to attend a “Star Party”. Before the Star Party began the clouds began to move in across the sky. It was time to begin star gazing but there were no stars. The moon was shining through the clouds so the star guide discussed some specifics about the moon. As we looked, a star began to peek through the clouds. Slowly, two or three more stars began to follow the example of the first. Knowing there were billions of stars in the sky, I began to ponder the situation. Even though there are times when the moon may not be visible to us, we all know that it is there every single night. Likewise, each of those stars faithfully shine through our every night sky. Saturn, Jupiter, Venus, Neptune, Mercury, and the other planets are there every night. However, here we sit under the vast expansion of stars and planets without being able to visualize them.


This is exactly what happens to us when we are inside of the “Well of Despair.” We look around and blame God for not being there. We blame our friends and family for not being there. And, there are times when our friends and our family may abandon us. Most of the time those friends and family members who truly love us will be there for us, and the kicker is that God IS ALWAYS THERE. Yet, through our emotional clouds, we often become unaware of His presence and even convince ourselves that he has gone away. As humans none of us are immune. Our problems overwhelm us. Our problems cause the clouds to roll in and put a covering between us and God. If we think of the parallel between the human race and the universe, we can see that God is our “Sun.” He is our constant. He is the reason that we shine. Our friends and family are a lot like those other stars and planets. They are typically there, but throughout time, even a star will burn out. We can hope and pray that our family and friends will stick with us to the end, but sometimes they aren’t that reliable because they are human. Pretty often they are there, but we just can’t see them through the clouds. However we know that our God will never burn out. HE IS ALWAYS THERE!

                                                     SOMETHING TO REMEMBER
We also need to remember that as christian ladies we are like the moon. The moon reflects the sun and if you are not letting your life reflect that of the Lord Jesus Christ, there may be other people in the "Well of Despair" and looking for a ray of light or a ray of hope. They will not be able to see the light if you are not lining yourself up with the Word of God and reflecting that light to them.

EXHAUSTED BUT BLESSED

Our ladies meeting in Andrews, TX was great today! God blessed in a mighty way, but not without a battle. As we set up equipment and was getting ready for the meeting, we had battles from every direction. An hour before the meeting, it looked as if the whole thing was falling apart. We couldn't get any of our equipment to coordinate with the equipment at the church, and without the equipment, basically the whole program couldn't move forward.

The night before, we had worked on getting everything set up. When it came to the sound equipment it was way over my head. So an hour before the meeting today I called in reinforcements. When they arrived and looked over the project, it just seemed impossible. Without the equipment working properly we would have to change the whole schedule. We then decided we needed a stronger reinforcement. We stopped and asked God to show up. There were 4 of us that went into a back room and prayed. We walked out of the room and the whole project came together in an unbelievable way.

When Lisa got ready to sing, the DVD player froze up, and we couldn't get it to operate. We stopped and prayed. During our prayer, the DVD started working, and she could select her song. There were about 4 or 5 times that things like this happened during the process of getting set up and during the service. Each time we would have to just stop, pray, and tell God we needed him to take control, because we are nothing and can do nothing. He is everything, owns everything, and controls everything. He is has control over Satan, our enemy, and when he tells him to step aside and let the "KING OF KINGS" have it, then Satan has to step aside.

Many of the ladies were blessed today. I, myself, was also blessed. Every time Lisa sings, I am blessed. God is Good and doing some mighty things in and through "Digging A Well" and  "Indignus." If you haven't had a chance to visit the Indignus blog, here is the link, http://www.indignusyouth.blogspot.com

If you haven't had a chance to hear Indignus, come to Northside Baptist Church, Kermit TX on Thursdays at 7 and see what God is doing in and through two young people who are just as the name says, "Indignus," which means, "unworthy." They were willing to lay their lives before God and be used by him, and he is truly using them to show the youth in Kermit that, we are unworthy, but we are saved by God's grace. He can take the most unworthy person and touch their lives and make them:

 WORTHY TO STAND BEFORE THE THRONE OF GOD.

DIGGING DEEPER

Vicki awakens to the sound of the birds singing, coffee brewing and the smell of spring flowers blooming outside her bay window. She throws back the covers and decides to go for a stroll in her newly planted flower garden. Breathing in the brisk morning air and thinking how blessed she must be. As the morning passes she receives a phone call from an old friend who lives nearby.
“Vicki, this is JoAnn. I need to stop by and visit with you, is this a good time?”
Vicki replies that it couldn’t be a better time..

When JoAnn arrives she looks deep into Vicki’s excited blue eyes. Vicki realizes after just a moment that JoAnn has a very heavy heart. JoAnn expresses that she is concerned about something that she had seen yesterday while making a floral delivery at a nearby hotel.

“Vicki,” she says, “as I was about to round the corner at the hotel I saw John come out of one of the rooms with a young lady about 25 years old. I slipped back so that John couldn’t see me. As John walked by the doorway where I was standing I overheard his conversation. Vicki I don’t mean to hurt you this way, but John is very involved with this lady.”

A thousand thoughts raced through Vicki’s mind. Shock, fear, hurt, and sorrow began to overtake Vicki. She didn’t know where to run. “Why me! Why, Why Me! My life was so full, so abundant, so great. No, this can’t be true. I’ll wake up tomorrow and realize this was just a dream. We just built our new dream house. No John wouldn’t do this.”

Vicki confronts her husband. She finds out that JoAnn had been correct. She can’t believe this is really happening. Her shock, fear and hurt now turns to anger.

Growing up in a minister’s home and now being a pastor’s wife for 28 years, this is a story we hear often. Listed below are four different wells that we can dig. I hope after reading this, you will see the importance of choosing the fourth well.

WELL #1

“I’m going to hurt him as badly as he has hurt me. I’m going to find a guy strip bar and start going just to show him.”

WELL #2

“Jose Cuervo, you’re a friend of mine,” thinks Vicki, as she leaves the bar. Vicki drives home, stammers in the door to find her children fighting with each other. She throws her purse across the room and starts screaming at the children. She then suddenly decides she doesn’t want to be a mom any longer. She tells her children that she is going to give them up. They beg and plead with their mom. She screams at them, “you might as well grow up and realize that this stuff happens. Just get used to it. “

WELL #3

Vicki remembers when she was young how that she use to take drugs. Maybe if she could find Frank and get a fix it would help her cope with this, forgetting that it took thousands of dollars and months in a rehab to overcome her addiction. She calls Frank and asks him to meet her.

WELL #4 

“I just want to kill him. OH YES, I DO! As she begins to reflect on things, she decides to call her pastor.  Bro John, this is Vicki. "I know you have heard what has happened. I am really angry. I just want to kill John. I want to destroy his life, as he has destroyed mine.   He made a vow to me.  We loved each other.  He acted like he was happy.  I don't understand.  I feel like I could knock a house down, I'm so angry”

Pastor John sits and thinks. “Vicki, can you meet me at the church in 30 minutes."  Vicki drives to the church.  Pastor John gets out of his truck picks up a toolbox. As they walk into the building, Pastor John explains, you know being angry isn’t a sin. You have the right to be angry. It’s what you do with your anger that can become sin. You know we have needed to remodel this area of the building for a long time. He places the sledge hammer into Vicki’s hand and shows her a wall that needs knocked down. You can stay here as long as you need to. Vicki spends the day beating, pounding, slamming the hammer into the wall. She falls to the floor in exhaustion and begins to cry and pray. She ask the Lord to help her cope with this trauma. As time passes Vicki learns to have a closer walk with Jesus Christ.

When I came into Vicki’s life, my heart was filled with fear, hurt, and anger, Vicki showed me the place the wall use to be and showed me the newly built area.   She encouraged me rather than becoming “bitter,” I need to become “better.” Instead of destroying myself in Well number one, two, or three, she challenged me to dig deep and do something constructive instead of destructive during this time in my life.

PASSING THE BATON

When passing the Baton, the Baton in this life
Did I hold it too loose? Did I hold it too tight?
Did I show you just how, To give it to others?
To pass it real smoothly, so that you can discover.

Did I teach you to run with joy in your heart?
To cherish his word..to never depart?
Did you learn how to smile through the deep dark struggles?
Of running the race not for yourself but for others?

The others that watch but don’t understand
Who need to take Jesus as Saviour and friend
They see you stuggle, the hurt and the pain
They see you turn to Jesus, and Worship His Name.

This is the baton I want to pass on.
So that others see Jesus and they will grow strong
They’ll take the baton and give it to others
and pass it along from sister to brother

Passing, still passing as the years go on.
Not ever forgetting the race that Christ ran
So set before you, the wonderful prize
the mark, the high calling of the Lord Jesus Christ

We will stand before Christ some wonderful day,
Saying, Satan was defeated. when you rose from that grave.
Living Victorious so others could see..
I’ve brought my friends and family with me

And now we will bow and fall on our knees,
casting our prize and crowns at your feet
The one that deserves all praise that is due.
Heaven and Earth STOPS,
JUST TO WORSHIP YOU.

HIS POWER AND GLORY DISPLAYED BY YOUR RISK TAKING

                                     

That is what you are asking me to do? Putting myself out there for everyone to see? Taking a risk just to see if this is truly a work of God or if this was just something I imagined in my mind that the Lord is calling me to do. At this point and time, the what if game began to play through my mind.

Ø  What if I fail? What if I get halfway through and run out of things to write about?

Ø  What if the finances don't come in to support this and we get it completed only to find out that we just wasted our time?

Ø  What if I get my eyes off the Lord and put something in the book that doesn't make sense?

Ø  What if I lead someone astray?

Ø  What if I spend so much time doing this book that I neglect my family's needs?

   About halfway through my little "What if?" the Lord allowed me to read something my husband had in his truck. "Risk taking shows you how to intentionally live in such a way that you take risks of faith, relying on God, to accomplish what He wants alone."

We need to act in dependence on God, despite feelings of discomfort or fear, trusting that He will bridge the gap between what you can do and what only He can do through you. When he bridges that gap with a miraculous occurrence, his power and glory are on display.

Once again the prayer that came to my lips weeks ago returned. "I am willing to put myself on the line to allow you to do the impossible through me."Here am I Lord, use me."

We are fools for Christ’s sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised. (I Corinthians 4:10)

 

 

 

MOTHER'S - CHANGING THE SHAPE OF OUR WORLD

Walking down the river bed at the Guadalope mountains last week I noticed that the rocks in the river bed were smooth.  My eye caught site of the rocks on the hillside and I noticed they were jagged and rough.  This brought the question to mind, "Why is there such a drastic difference in rocks that are all in the same area?"

HERE IS WHAT THE LORD SHOWED ME

These rocks have been though many storms.  The hail has pounded both the rocks in the river and the rocks on the hillside.  The same rocks have fallen down the mountain as erosion has taken place.   People have kicked them all around as they hiked through the terrain.   The difference in these rocks is the impact of water.  The rocks that the water ran over year after year after year had a different appearance to the beholder.  This is the difference my grandmother made in my life.  My mother,  was a very Godly woman.  She contributed to my life, as she followed my father in the ministry as a pastor's wife.

• When I was born my mother and grandmother ran Jesus, The Living Water, over my life
•  When I learned to walk and was falling down, they prayed I would walk in his steps. They poured Jesus, The Living Water, over my life
• When I was sick, they ran Jesus, The Living Water, over my life
• When I was angry, they ran Jesus, The Living Water, over my life
• When I rebelled, they ran Jesus, The Living Water, over my life
• When I wanted to sing, they poured songs of Jesus, The Living Water, over my life

Pouring the Living Water over the lives of their children, grandchildren, and great granndchilden did make a difference.  The heritage page in "Digging A Well" will show the difference that has been made.  Here is a brief list of the change they made to the world around them.

2 Sons are pastor’s
1 daughter married to a pastor

4 grandsons are pastor's
1 granddaughter married to a pastor

1 great-grandson is a pastor
1 great-granddaughter surrendering her life to the ministry

There are deacons, deacons wives, nurses, service men, leaders in the community, national guard, vocalist, writers, and the list goes on. 

Sometimes it is hard to have that water rushing over you time and time again. Those trials and tribulations are sometimes the water that takes us from a rough, craggly rock to that beautiful, smooth rock that he wants us to be.

THE LIVING WATER WILL CHANGE YOUR SHAPE

Look What God is doing!

God has begun to send children from everywhere to our church on Wednesday Nights. Our Secretary has felt led, of the Lord, to cook every Wednesday.  Becky serves some of the most wonderful meals.  Several months back we began to have quite a lot of Children and Youth show up for the meals, and then go to classes.  There have been several times lately that we have had about 40 to 45 kids on Wednesday's. Thanks Northside Baptist Church for opening your arms to these kids. 

Because you followed his command, God is going to bless you abundantly.

 

"Suffer the little children to come unto me,"

 

We now see what God was up to.  He has moved in so many different ways lately that it is unbelieveable.  Many of the children and youth that have been attending our Wednesday night service are hispanic. Our church was asked last week to open our doors to the Association and let a Spanish church be started inside our building.  It looks as if we will combine everything except for the worship service on Sunday.  We will continue to have our regular services up front and the spanish mission will use the fellowship hall and have Worship Services.  Sunday School classes will be combined for the youth and children.  We also voted tonight to start a ministry for the youth to come one night a week and worship in Song.  Ryan, Lisa, and I will be praying that God will pull this ministry together and strengthen the Youth of Kermit, TX. 

God seems to be expanding our boundaries in every area.  Pray for us as we are in desperate need of workers for the harvest.  God is moving in the most awesome ways.  It looks like he is leading our church to dig new wells in every area.  May we continue to have a willing heart to follow his leadership.

WHAT A MIGHTY GOD WE SERVE

Kay and I went out to eat lunch together on Friday. I expressed to her that I really needed for her to pray that if the Lord was in this, that he would supply the research information for me.

After the trip to the mountains and how he did such unbelieveable things, Kay reminded me, that was what we asked him to do. He has continued to just bring in more and more material. Sometimes it's overwhelming to see how he is supplying the research material and how he lays something on my heart. I start praying and then I pick up a paper or magazine that has exactly what I have been asking the Lord about.

When I get some more time I will try to write and let you know what the Lord showed me today through something that I picked up at the office.

What An Awesome God!

THE MOUNTAINS

Jonean has been hounding me for about a year to write a book or devotional book. I told her 100 times, NO, NO, NO. She kept on and a couple Sundays ago she said, “So, when are you going to start writing the book?” I whirled around in a smartelic way and said, "when God sends me to the mountains to write, I will." Within four days a trip had been arranged for me to go to the mountains. The Lord heard my words and immediately I found out a trip had been scheduled. Here is the update that I wrote after my trip to the mountains.


Just wanted to give each of you an update on what happened yesterday at the mountains. When we arrived I began my studies and doing some basic layouts. About 30 minutes into the project my laptop died. I told Lisa I was going to walk up the hill and see if the area we parked at had an electrical plug in the ladies bathroom or somewhere I could get charged back up. They didn't so I began to walk around outside looking for an outlet and a ranger walked up and asked if he could be of help to me. I told him I was looking for a place to charge my computer and he laughed and said, “Most people come to the mountains to get away from those kinds of things.” I told him I sent 14 kids and 4 adults up the mountain and I stayed to study. I explained I was doing some research because I was writing on the Wells in the Bible. I then asked, “Would there happen to be any wells around this area?” He said, “there are wells all over this place” and began to talk. I grabbed my Pulse Pen and explained to him that as I was taking notes on what he said, he was also being recorded. He said, not a problem because I happen to know quite a bit about these wells, as I am the biologist for this area. OH MY, He was extremely helpful and gave me his name, phone number and e-mail address. He also connected me with the geologist that works there. We were able to gather so much data and get it recorded that it was amazing. The Lord showed us soooooo many wonderful things we can write about. I also began to walk down the river where water had ran for years and years and looked at the rocks. I walked down the trail and was looking at the difference in the rocks and do you know what the Lord showed me. You can take one of the hardest rocks in this area and put it into the river and over a period of time with the WATER running across that rock smoothly or roughly, that rock WILL change shapes. The jagged areas on the rocks become smooth. If we run the living water over someone’s life over and over and over and keep running that living water over their lives, It Will Be Changed.

Ok now this one is totally cool; some of the wells there had quit producing water. We asked the biologist why and he said that there was an earthquake. EVER HAD ONE OF THOSE EARTHQUAKES IN YOUR LIFE that made you stop the living water from flowing as freely or stopped it completely from flowing? I'd call that your earthquake. These are only a few of the things that the Lord showed me.

I have gotten the opportunity to witness to a Buddhist and to the biologist. I've decided to write some things from time to time on this blog, since I don’t have time to write or call everyone. Hopefully this way I can keep you posted.

The guy that does our Children's sermons was gone this morning, You know what topic I did! I have gotten to do this with adults, teenagers and now small children. It seems to fit one age group just as well as it does another. I just condense it down more for the smaller ages.
