Wednesday 8/14/13 In The Beginning. God! 2

Dear Father in Heaven, thanks  for another day, and thanks for the rain and the sunshine that You sent our way.  Lord, please keep Your healing hand upon families and please be with our president and his family as they vacation.  Lord, please have Your hand upon Patsy, Dolores, Burt, Grant, Curtis, Keith, Bob, and Eleanor and heal them according to Your will for them.  Please also be with the staff at The Bridges as they help all those who reside there.  Lord, thanks for taking us there on Tuesday.  And Lord, it is Salvation Wednesday on Your line that You let us use.  Please open the door for all of us who are saved to go into Your fields of Harvest to bring in the lost.  Help us with it by starting us out clean, forgive me please of my sins.  Now, Lord, please help me with the message and then, Lord, dispatch it for me, please.  In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

Hi, brothers and sisters.  Today is Wednesday, which means it is SALVATION Wednesday on this line.  Salvation Wednesday.  First, folks, I pray all of you are saved and then yo will join me in praying this prayer to clean us up, and then pray that God will use us this day to help bring in the lost.  I am sure all of us know someone who is lost.  Let's obey the command of going and telling the good news.  Let's get washed up now.

Dear Father in Heaven, please clean me of my sins and wash me white so I am pleasing to You and also to all those who I get to talk to You about Salvation.  Help me deliver the good news to all I see this day.  In the name of Jesus, I pray.  Amen.

We need some really deep prayers for Eleanor and for Patsy.  Patsy has been moved to a rehab hospital and as soon as I get the address I would love to have a card shower for this dear lady.

Please also pray for Barbara from Florida as I have not heard from her for awhile, and also for Vicki who lives someplace in Ohio.  I have not heard fro\m her either.  If you know them, maybe you could have them get in touch.  Now let's get back to the beginning.  Maybe this is the real "back to the future."  For indeed when we go back to the Creation Story, we indeed need to look at it as our future also.

Salvation Wednesday, August 14, 2013, In The Beginning.  GOD!!  Day Two.

Genesis 1:9 - And God said:  "Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear."  And it was so.  10 God called the dry ground "land" and the gathered waters He called "seas," And God saw that it was good.  11 Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation, seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds."  And it was so.  12 The land produced vegetation plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds.  And God saw that it was good.  13 And there was evening, and there was morning --- the third day. (NIV)

Once again we see the power of God just in His mighty voice.  As once again we see that God speaks to these things and it happens.  Now listen tome here, folks.  If God can create this world and all that is in it and set it in the universe and make all things run and not hit each other and He did it all by talking, this should be a lesson to us about listening for Him to speak to us.

Okay, so we take a look at day three and see what was done.  We started out with water under us and sky above us.  Now this might have looked at this point like after the big flood.  You do remember how everything was covered with water.  Everything, and that is the way it was when God spoke out on day three.  Just think about it now.  Think about where you live and how it would have been all water until God sort of gathered the water around it.  Think about it, God would be talking to the water and having it gather in the valleys and make rivers run between the hills.  He made springs in the mountains so fresh water came up from the ground.  And He made dry land so people like you and me can have a car to go to work instead of a motorboat.  Now God speaks to us and sometimes He speaks to us through others.  I want you to think about this, my dear brothers and sisters.  Let's say on Sunday morning you go to church and you travel up to Glenvale Church of God and Pastor Larry Hale is preaching.  Now I know Pastor Larry would pray that God will use him to get the word out to others.  So God gives Pastor Larry The Word and Pastor passes it on to you.  This is just one of so many ways that God could be speaking to You.  God speaks to people and has for many years through the voices of my friends Tim, and also Dave, Duane and Neil.  Each day when we rise in our home we ask God to give us people to witness to, then also give us His Word to tell them.  Remember how God used His disciples and remember we are the disciples of today.

Brothers and sisters, there is nothing in the whole wide world that is more powerful than what comes out of one's mouth, and you can count on this, nothing, I say nothing is more powerful than what God speaks.  Please remember that God spoke to the land your home sits on, He spoke so that would become land.  So why not let God speak to you through others and of course also let Him speak to your heart?  How do you let this happen?  Well, you can start by going to a good church where God speaks through others, you could attend a good concert and hear God speaking to you in song, and you can pray and then listen for Him to speak to your heart.  Okay, enough for today.

Go forth now and share your blessings.  Love ya.  Pass it on.  Pastor Dan.

Pastor Dan's Safety Tip:  School is opening across this great land.  Soon and very soon those big yellow buses will be on the road.  Watch for them, watch for when they stop.  When those lights come on, you must stop  Don't lose your driver's license by passing a stopped school bus, and more so if you do pas the bus you might hit one of God's children.  Watch out for "The Cheese."
