Stretch Forth your Hand God

This week has been one of the worst yet the best week ever. Well let me explain why was it the worst. Life as a “men” now in the army is quite a tough one. You are easily pushed around because you are of the lowest rank, your boss scolds you whether you work hard or not, and plays favorites. Besides all these, there is a particular guy who is the same rank as me that gets me on my nerves a lot. I got so angry at him that I almost wanted to hit him (never had such a feeling in years). In summary, I saw myself falling in terms of character, I was so fleshly. 

“I asked God, how can I be your witness at all, I’m not perfect! I can’t be consistent, I can’t be showing your fruit and preach your gospel.” 

This is why it is the best week. God said “I did not ask you to lean on your own strength, but lean on mine.” It is where I came to realized and thank God that in my whole army life has been a life where I got to see my flaws here and there. It is not me that shall represent the Lord but the Holy Spirit that is to be evident in me. I gladly yield to him because Euclid does not have the power to help, to save, but it is Jesus! As Kathryn Kuhlman said “I’ll die a thousand deaths before I’ll step up on that stage, because I know that Kathryn Kuhlman can do nothing.”

Empty Me - by Jeremy Camp:


Today the Holy Spirit asked me to go pray for healing for a friend’s mom and preach the good news to him. This is a new level of faith that I’m stepping out in. I have never went alone to pray for healing for someone in such a manner, I usually tagged with Rusty. But you know what, it isn't me that does this work, it is the Lord who will stretch forth His hand. Praise God!
