Answers in the quiet

This morning my husband came in and shared with me that yesterday during his M.A.P.P. group one of the gentlemen stated that he wondered if he was really doing what God had called him to do or if he should take a break from media missions to go get a job in the secular world to make money to do work on his house. Randy admitted that he sometimes struggles with feeling the same way. During Randy's quiet time, after questioning if he was really hearing God's voice, he distinctly heard God telling him that He had answered his prayer and submission of his heart from back in 1998. He was exactly where God wanted him to be, using his skills and life training to help maintain the International House of Prayer Mission Base-KC while being able to minister to those God brings to him. He also encouraged him by reminding him that He has us covered with our expenses and people that He has strummed their heart strings to partner with us in His ministry that He has us walking out so that we all may be more fruitful and His Kingdom would prosper.

I am so ever thankful at all God has done to protect us from our own hardheadedness and not so great choices over the past 16 years. It so humbles my heart when I see all the littlest details that He has done to take care of us and direct our steps. Even though because of Randy's fear of having to possibly raise our own "support" he walked away from a calling 13 years ago, God was still ever faithful and kept training Randy while He was preparing his heart to finally say "Yes Lord". Now Randy has a better understanding of living by God's provisions, thanks to an in-depth study in the Word and how God has done it from the beginning of time. God has already laid out the master plan. How we all are to work together to do the work of His Kingdom. Some are called to partner in prayer, some are called to partner in finances, some are called to partner in provisions, some are called to partner in encouragement, some are called to go forth, some are called to minister to those who are on the forefront, some are called to minister to those that have given their all, some are called to partner in ways only God knows however as we allow God to bring those together that He has preordained to work together as a team so that His work can be done. We all have been created and called for a specific purpose. When we stop looking for the complicated things and just quietly listen to what our heart is saying, we generally find His answer to us in the most child-like, easy ways or answers. I praise God that we are His and are seeking to praise and worship Him while He is using us for His Kingdom work.

We pray blessings over each one of you and pray that you will stop and listen to see how God is using or wanting to use you today. Be BLESSED!
