Inspiration: Some close friends made a list of attitudes to work on before they got married. They had excellent marriage counseling and that helped them control the anger, frustration and irritations that pop up in marriage. They made a point of never going to bed at night angry. Their marriage is so strong now that people come to them for marriage counseling.

Inspiration: I took a course on the roots of anger. The speaker explained that so much of anger is developed in the childhood years through various circumstances. The course taught me that many people carry hurts for years and when these hurts flair up, they get so angry that they cannot control their anger nor their tongue.

I was amazed to find they listened closely and let me pray for them.

A friend of theirs felt led by the Lord to build a wooden crib for a baby, asking the Lord to fill the crib for this barren couple. Intellectually, it seemed strange to give the gift of a crib at a time when the couple was unable to have a baby. However God honoured their faith and in time, the wife became pregnant and had a baby so that this “Faith Crib” was filled.

Inspiration: A couple was asked by God to start a Christian TV station which was a huge step of faith. They needed all the donations to arrive by the end of the month or else the deal would be cancelled. During the last week hardly any money came in. On the last day of the month they were $35,000 short. That same afternoon, a man came in with a check for exactly $35,000 saying he was on his way to buy a boat but the Lord told him to donate the money instead. They rushed to the bank and deposited the check just as the bank was closing. This started the first Christian TV station and many more have been started since then.

Inspiration: A woman of great faith said you have to constantly examine your heart. She called it a ‘Heart Check Up’ to make sure you are on the right path and doing God’s will. This checkup was to look for things such as envy, jealousy, pride, selfishness, and wrong motives and to have God search your heart and try you. I have found that constant prayer and Bible reading is the only way to keep on the right path that God has for us. There are so many lusts of the world that try to pull us into sin. However listening and obeying God will keep our faith strong and keep us from sins that cause damage not only to us but all those that know us.

As I spoke about each event, everyone seemed confused and asked me to repeat things several times. I looked at the church leader as if to say, Why am I always repeating myself? and the reply was, There is confusion in this room and you did not pray over it, did you? This church leader showed me I needed to bind the enemy in prayer.

Inspiration: A church leader talked much about the Holiness of God and to revere God with holy fear. I had never been taught on the holiness of God but only the love of God, so at first I thought he was out of balance with too much talk of holiness. Later, I discovered that I was the one who was wrong and I needed to worship the Lord with much more reverence. This also produced a need for holiness in my life.

Inspiration: On a mission trip, we used an open fishing boat to preach the gospel. In one place someone removed the drain plug in our boat without replacing it, which caused the boat to sink under ten feet of water. Being far away from phones, there was no other solution but to pray that God would do a miracle. It took over three hours to pull the boat to the surface. We laid hands on the waterlogged engines and they started. Any mechanic would say God did a miracle! We praised God all the way home.

Inspiration: Many people tell me they don’t get anything out of going to their church. When they hear of sin in church leadership, it confirms in their mind that they made a good choice to stop going. Their busy lives left only one hour for God per week in church and now they have found an excuse not to go, nor try another church. Many of these people have not committed their lives to God. Becoming a disciple of Jesus is not on the top of their priority list. However if they would remember the first commandment to love God with all their hearts they would want to attend church to serve and worship God, to hear His Word and to grow in faith.

Inspiration: Over the centuries, some church leaders have taken a “vow of poverty” to help correct impending greed. Greediness is not from God, however poverty is not from God either. One church leader spoke at a business meeting and said: “Do you possess money or does money possess you?” This scripture points out that God does want us to prosper and be healthy as we let God control our money. However the essential part of the scripture is ..”as thy soul prospers..” God can bless as with health and prosperity to the degree we have the Word of God prospering in our souls and making our minds pure.
