Blessings Ahead!

Houston's Revivals Numbers 14:8 If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.
delight: to be pleased with; favor; be (well) please:take delight, have pleasure.

First, let me say I am sorry for running behind posting this month. We are very busy getting ready for the mission trip in April, we really need pray and a miracle.

In other words if God takes pleasure or delights in us he will give us our land. This sound so strange that a great and awesome and powerful God could take pleasure or be pleased with us. I am about to have a shouting spell! Real obedience will bring and put us in that position with our God! One thing is for sure, God is wanting to bless us and take us to a new place or level in him. There is one problem; we cannot get to where we are going, if we don't leave where we are at. Some people are such creatures of habit, they refuse to change what they call their pew in church. I learned a hard and valuable lession in 2003, well it really started in 2001. I was so much a creature of habit, I really didn't like any change in my life at all. Well for one thing it's hard to go through life without change. Too really live life you must be able to embrace change! Well God started messing with my routine (rut) and things started to change very fast. To make things worse as I was trying and praying each step looked with the nature eye, looked like it was a mistake. But as a old revival song says " something down inside of me, telling me go ahead, go ahead". It looked wrong because it was different and it feel wrong just because it was different. We must be lead by His Spirit in these last hours. I was following the Spirit, but it was to a new and deeper level in Him. To a new trust, like never before in my many years of serving the great master of my soul, who was leading me each step of the way. We want the blessings of God, we even shout and sing about getting them, until Father asks something more of us. It may be something simple- to give more, read more or even pray more. It may be to go to revival meeting 3 or 5 nights in a row. Maybe it's just to go back to sunday nite service or visit someone sick or in prison. God was telling the children of Israel that there was great blessing " a land which floweth with milk and honey". A sign of great and unheard of blessings, the real deal, if I might say. There where some giants and obstacles, but just beyond them was where the blessings were at. I had to overcome fear and some unbelief (yes I said unbelief). To someone struggling, I say their is a Canaan land just ahead, where the blessings are waiting for someone with a right spirit and trust in God. Don't go by sight or feeling, be lead of the Spirit, no matter what flesh, enemy or other are telling you. Let's get all God has for us in 2007! Psa 37:4Delight thyself also in the lord, and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. My desires are to tell someone of the love of Jesus Christ. To help relive someone's suffering and encourage the saints to hold on and reach higher. Change from God is good, don't be afraid when he starts a new thing in your life. He has some wonderful things for His children, sure there are some giants, but keep your eyes on Him. His plans are perfect for each one of us. I believe for great and mighty things in 2007, who knows He may just come back this year! love and prayers Bro Joey
