God Will Get Our Attention

The date was Wednesday, March 10, 2010, and I wanted a little quite time to read the Book that I had been reading by Charles Stanley... "THE SOURCE OF MY STRENGTH". I came into my bedroom like I always do, and started to read, and all of a sudden, I realized that I was focusing more on Kims (MY Wife) Conversation, than I was on my Book.

Kim was in the Living Room, and she had just began a conversation that was distracting me, so I decided that I would just open the door to our walk in closet, and sit there on the floor in the middle of the closet, and read my Book in silence. When I set down, I noticed that it was "SWEET SILENCE", and then out of nowhere came a tick tock noise, and it really started to freak me out, and I started to think, Can I really hear our upstair neighbors clock that good?

I set the Book to the side, and started to do some investigating, and I noticed that the sound was coming from a box that I was leaning on, because we did not unpack everything, and so therefore this box was still there with a "FEW" things in it.

The point that I'm trying to get to, is how GOD had me at the place where "HE" wanted me to be at the right time... (GODS TIME)...You see, I was trying to do things "MY WAY", but GOD had different plans. I did not unpack my "ORDINATION" certificate, and my "LICENSE" certificate that had been given to me to show that I was Licensed, and a "ORDAINED" Minister. I did this on purpose, because looking at those papers always "REMINDED" me that GOD had a work for me, and I'm just gonna be Honest, Sometimes I just don't feel like I can do anything for GOD.

Anyway, as I opened the box to see what was ticking, I noticed an old clock that we bought some years back, and it never did keep proper time, but this time it just happened to be on "GODS TIME". I reached for the clock, and pulled the battery out, and as I was doing so, there lay my two certificates to remind me that GOD had something for me to do. I recognized it right off, I knew this was GOD telling me to get to work, so I took them out, and I have them standing on my dresser at this moment. This is nothing but "THE LOVE" of an "ALMIGHTY GOD", saying that if I send you, then I have "QUALIFIED" you.

I just want to say "THANK YOU GOD" for your "LOVE", and your "PATIENCE" with me, and I pray that "YOU" will always strengthen me when I need it, and always keep me with "YOUR GRACE"... "PRAISE GOD"...

GOD SPOKE TO ME 3 TIMES

I will never forget the day that I woke up, and there was a knot on my neck. It's kinda funny how it all came about., because just a week before I noticed the knot, I had told Kim that I was planing to grow my beard out, and if I had done this, it is possible that I would have never noticed the knot. Now I'm gonna back up a bit, about a week before I noticed the knot, and while I was at work, I just happened to be walking past a radio at work, and there was a song playing on a country station, I can't remember the name of the song, but the words that were coming out of the speaker just as I passed by were.... "THERE GONNA TELL YOU THAT THE CANCER IS SPREADING". God had me at the place where he wanted me to be to hear this, because I had been praying to God to "BUILD MY FAITH", and how can you build your faith if you've never been through something... ( A STORM, OR TRIAL ). Now all of a sudden this knot is on my neck, and it brought me back to remembrance of the song that I heard earlier that week. I'm not gonna lie to you, this really got my mind to stirring, and got me to thinking about what that song was saying. I went out to get in my car one day after work, and as I looked down in the passenger seat and there laid a book that I had been reading for "TROUBLED CHRISTIANS". I happened to pick it up while the car was warming up, and I opened it up, and the first words that I read were "DON"T ALWAYS BELIEVE THE EXPERTS, BECAUSE SOMETIMES THE EXPERTS ARE WRONG"... This was very important, because what I'm about to tell you proved that these words were true. I want you to understand this, you see, God has already spoken to me twice, and both of them came to pass. God told me that the cancer would be spreading, and after the biopsy that is exactly what I was told. I have squemicell carsoma, a cancer in my throat, and it was in the third stage... ( VERY AGGRESSIVE ), this was the first to come to pass. Now for the second, remember how God told me through the book to not always believe the experts, well you gotta hear this. The first specialist that I went to "BLUNTLY" told Kim, and I that I had a 70 percent chance to live for five years. I could not believe the words that I was hearing. Mine, and Kims world just stoped for a moment. I looked the Doctor in the eye, and I told him that I don't put my trust in man, but in God. So to tell you how the second one came to pass, this Doctor sent me to another specialist, because he doesn't do the surgeries anymore, and when we went the next day to this Doctor, we were given "HOPE"... Come to find out, the other so called specialist had Diagnosed me with the wrong cancer, and it really made this Doctor very upset that the other Doctor made my wife, and I to have to go through this anguish for a day. Do you hear what I just told you? "THE EXPERT WAS WRONG".... Just like God told me.... "PRAISE GOD"..I give "HIM" all the Glory. This Doctor told us that it was an aggressive cancer, but if we got to it in time it can be "CURABLE". Well now I want to tell you how God done things all through the Bible. He done them by threes.... and you are not gonna believe this, but God spoke to me a third time. One day at work, one of my drivers was running late, so by me being dispatcher, and I needed a driver, it was up to me to run his route if I had to. Again God putting me in a place for me to hear him speak to me again. As I climbed in this truck, and turned the key to start the truck, there was a song blasting on the radio, and the very first words I heard from this song was... "FOR YOU TO GO THROUGH ADVERSITY, GIVES ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK A MIRACLE IN YOUR LIFE"... Those words blew me away. I knew that it was God speaking to me the third time, and now that is what I"m waiting on... "MY MIRACLE"... Praise God... Romans 8:24-25 says For we are saved by hope: But hope that is seen is not hope: For what a man seeth: why doeth he yet hope for. But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with "PATIENCE" wait for it. You see, that is where my "FAITH" lies. I do believe that this was God speaking to me these three times, and I believe that very soon, God will "PERSONALLY" hand me my miracle. See, I didn't see God, but I heard "HIM" speak through my spirit. I don't live by sight, but by faith. God told Thomas, He said Thomas, you believe because you have seen, but "BLESSED" are they that believe, and have never seen. So I believe that I'm gonna be blessed, but you know what, I'm a winner either way, because not my will "LORD", but your will.... God is very good, and if it was not for "HIM", I never would have made it through the chemo, and radiation. Radiation to the throat is probably the worse place to get it, because it tears up everything in your throat,,,, IT KILLS YOUR TASTE BUDS, they will never be the same again, and it killed my salivary glands, and I can't produce saliva anymore, so I have to walk around with a water bottle 24 7. Kim, and I talk about this all the time, although my quality of life is not as good as it use to be, but its better than having the cancer. 1Corinthians 10:13 says that God will never put more on us than we can handle, and I truly believe this to be the "TRUTH". "GODS GRACE IS ENOUGH"... I enjoy talking to God, and if you read my wall, you will discover that I enjoy talking about God. I Love "HIM" with all my heart, and until I pass in this body, I will "CONTINUE TO PROCLAIM HIS NAME"... God Bless, I love all my fb friends, and I pray for them daily. If you ever need anyone to talk with, feel free to hit me up. I love to minister, and also I love to be ministered to, and remember...<<>>, It's not about what we can do, but about what "HE" has already done on "CALVARY"...... I have an "UPDATE" on what you have just read, and here it is... Just wanted to update my first note. I finished that note with one more thing that I was "EXPECTING" from God, and that was my "MIRACLE"... Well just to let you know, I am now in "REMISSION", and although you are not really counted cured until 5 years, I still count this a "BLESSING" from God. You see, God "CURED" me when I accepted "HIS SALVATION PLAN", and everything else is just a bonus. God "TRULY IS A GOOD GOD", and I will "PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME" as long as I have breath in my body... God Bless... <<>>
