I sit here wreaked,
God has sent me here and there for his glory, and the beauty is that God changed my heart to do not what I want but what God wants. all praise and Glory to God.
I am directed today to a video that is displayed by Pastor Francis Chan, The video shows Christians being beat to death in India. Young men staggering to there knees as others kick them in the head, beat them with sticks, stone them to death, all for professing that Salvation comes through Christ Jesus.
I am wreaked, not by the violence, Not by the passiveness of the Christians being killed while the police look on.... No I am wreaked because I wish to seek vengeance, and God says that vengeance is his.
Holy Spirit says our way is not the way of the world but of the cross, yet we Americans play at being followers of the way.
We are not yet mature Christians, those young men dieing in India, are the real deal.
So I sit here, Praying for those who killed the Christians, Praying for Thy will be done Abba, and for the family's of those dead.

Where has God led me? Here I Am
Long Time since I last blogged here, hard to Blog when our God has you working in the vineyard.
So I have found out why God had me leave the Lutheran Church. Every thing Eloi does is multi faceted and deep as the ocean. My lovely wife Deb have learned a new style of preaching,,,, exegetical/expository preaching. Deb has been growing in the word as If she had never heard it before. We are becoming slowly , equally yoked. And I am evangelizing to non Denominational churches.
As I have been speaking at evangelical church's to spread our Short Course in Christianity. So many people running around saying " Im Saved!" Im Saved!'' when in fact they are not, for if they did there lives would show proof of that.
There may be people that have had a Damascus road experience, And for sure the weekend I was "Saved" was such a event, BUT It then at least for me and my peeps a slow progression toward being more than human. It's almost like God changes you as you grow and have experiences that temper you. i.e. Going off the wagon, recognizing a deep childhood hurt ,and Especially knowing your heart is expanding away from the world toward bringing glory to Adonai.
A walk through the refiners fire so to speak, having the dross all burn away till your ready to die to self.
So.. Today a Ex- LCMS Pastor came to call on me here in the U.P. of Northernto He wants to start revival in the E U P of Northern Michigan. Daniel is on a Prayer journey to travel around the U.P. praying for a revival. We met and talked at a restaurant on U.S.-2 and told our stories of salvation , What we know of that God wants in our lives serving Abba. Both of us feel the call from Holy Spirit to evangelize to church's here in the Eastern Upper Peninsula that would never attend a Cursillo or Walk to Emmaus.
It is so Amazing to have the freedom to Go where God leads you. And certain men I am in Mission with are men who stand out amongst the best of the best, Men who have given there lives for the Glory of the Lord.
Disciples in every sense of the word.
AMEN!
