Brothers, I am finally ready to give you my thoughts for the day. Today... I have walked with God. I really did ! I had a 5 km (3 miles for you non metric brothers) walk this morning. I had my Ipod and listened to the featured sermon from sermonindex.com. Gerhard Du Toit-The Burden Of God Brings Brokenness. God spoke. I listened. I have made the decision to move forward. That may sound almost silly to some of you, but if you new my heart like God knows my heart you would understand. I need to be broken. I need to see me and my sin and my life as God sees it. Today I walked with God. Today I choose to follow Him. Today I choose to obey Him. I know it is all or nothing. The problem was that I knew that. I knew That Jesus isn't and never will be interseted in just part of me or even most of me.... It is all or nothing. I have been so confronted with this reality for the last few weeks and also with my ability to get busy with family , business and life that I can avoid the confrontation of making that big decision to give God my all. Oh that is a painful and lonely place to live. To know the truth and to try to live in such a way as to avoid it or pretend that it may be a noble thing for some but not essential for me. I have been the most unhappy and miserable human being on the planet. ( it is easy today to be real and honest with my brothers only because I have started my day with being real honest with God ) .
Brothers, I urge you to go to sermonindex.com and find this message. Shut your door. Get on your knees. Open your mind and your heart, and let God speak. Maybe the message was put there for only me to hear (I doubt that very much), but I think that every brother on this blog will be blessed (and broken).
We are heading to Canton. We are praying for and expecting God to bring REVIVAL. HE WILL BEGIN WITH YOU AND ME. it starts in OUR heart.
Today I walked with God. I am ready to move forward. I WILL pray for my brothers today. If you do listen to this sermon (with your door closed,on your knees and with an open heart) , please post your thoughts on this blog. There is something special about sharing with each other this journey that God is taking us on. Please continue to pray for me and my family. I will try to be more regular with these postings, as God leads. I will be away for one week starting tomorrow. We are taking my son Dave to Bethany College of Missions , and my daughter Laura is going to Living Light School of Worship. What a blessing. God is so good and faithful in spite of me. Please pray for Dave and Laura as they seek God.
Your brother in the battle,
Bill
