But in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving

Php 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

Good morning dear friends again. Isn't God great! We had a good time last night listening to Pastor Black out of East Tennessee preach revival at my brothers church in Carbon Hill, AL. From the first two days of reports we had heard that everything preached was right on the mark, and I praise God that people were willing to admit that they needed revival and that they enjoyed what the Lord would have the man of God that they invited in preach to them. My prayer is that they would now look at what was preached and keep it on their minds and apply it to their hearts and let God work! I look forward to tonight to see what my Pastor may have for us. Last Sunday night he preached on his vision for the church and the direction that the Lord has laid upon his heart. What a wonderful vision it is, there are many things that we could do together if we get behind him and support him. There is the building of the new sanctuary because God has been so great to add new members to the church, there is the vision of an assisted living home for the Senior saints, there is the vision of a children's home, a Christian day school, a Bible college that is local church based. All this can be accomplished with God, I look forward to see what God would do with us if we just stay humbled in His sight and do the things that we are called to do with everybody in their places serving. I am excited about our Pastors desire to take us on a missions trip to Mexico this year, and I ask that you would pray with us to see God make this happen. Friends in the above verse it says that everything must be done by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving. I wanted to share with you what God is doing in our lives because I give the honor, and thanks to God. If it was not for God sending His Son Jesus Christ to die for my sins then I would never even write to you the great things that are going on in my life and the church that God has allowed me to be a part of. I give thanks to God for seeing souls saved, Bible preaching preachers who hold fast to the truth, for missionaries that would give up their secular desires and surrender to go to a field that only God could have given them a burden for. I thank God for allowing me to have the knowledge and understanding in order to just type these simple blog entries. Now friends this is my prayer, that if you are not saved, that is born again as the Bible says then, I encourage you to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Savior. I pray that you would know Jesus so that you can understand what joy is, and what true Biblical blessings are. Friend I pray that if you would like to know more about Jesus that you would contact somebody who is saved, and if you want to know more I pray that you would contact me and let me share the gospel with you. For all this through prayer, I will then give thanks and glory to God to see Jesus high and lifted up!
