“Stepping
Out”
Stepping
out on faith! Not an easy thing to
do! I had to do some of that
stepping out yesterday and I have to tell you it was very difficult for me to
do. Most of you know c2C Ministry
has teamed up with Powerhouse International Outreach Ministries and this is one
of those types of ministry’s that you have to have a building to be affective
in the community so that meant I had to write a check.
Those of you that know me I am a strict steward of the money God gives
me. One of the things we wanted was
to have the building in the area in which we focus a lot of our outreach and not
in some huge office building. No
ivory towers for me. Well after
much prayer God opened a door to an affordable place in a little strip mall
right next door to a tattoo shop, liquor store, head shop, book store and dive
shop which is right across the street from Humble Area Assistance Ministries or
H.A.A.M. for short. When I walked
into the room a weight fell upon my shoulders and I took Zachary with me and he
immediately went into I’m a wild child mode so I knew satan was not happy that
I was in this shop. As all the
leadership and others gathered at the building we began to anoint the doors and
walls and fixtures and claiming the building in Jesus name the weight slowly
began to lift and I began to feel the Holy Spirit enter in and it got louder and
louder as if everyone was shouting and I know we weren’t but the praises began
to sound like there were multitudes gathering and I finally figured out the
Angels of heaven were in the room with us singing praises to God and so it kind
of became a no brainer at that point that I was to give into this ministry to
begin this work of God. Stepping
out on faith to do God’s work isn’t easy especially when it requires more of
you than your time. There are 422
places in the NIV Bible that has faith in one form or another in it today
let’s look at Matthew
17
Key
Verse:
Matthew
17:20
He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you
have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from
here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."
Matthew
17:19-21
(in Context) Matthew
17 (Whole
Chapter)
Another
verse for you:
Hosea
2:20
I will betroth you in faithfulness, and you will acknowledge the LORD.
Hosea
2:19-21 (in
Context) Hosea
2 (Whole
Chapter)
