The recent e-pistle on I-35 brought a lot of response from you dear folks
out in cyber space. It is always good to hear from you and especially when
your touched by the hand of God as He brings revelation to your inner man.
The Lord blessed me in bringing back fond memories of other times He spoke
to me while I was on I-35. I want to share what happened one morning as I
drove across Waco on the interstate and while I was at Baylor on this
highway of Holiness I heard these words. “ASK OF ME!”
I can still recall these words pounding in my chest as the Holy Spirit let
me know that the God of Abraham was speaking to me in much the same way He
did one day in Babylon when He told
Abraham to get up and go with Him to a land that He would not only show but
give Him as an everlasting possession. May we all have hearts to hear our
God speak to us today about His world and how He wants each of us to be
involved in taking possession of it. The following passage of scripture
began to burn into the tablets of my heart.
“Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations as Your inheritance, and the
uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.” (Psalms 2:8)
I was unable to drive my car for a few minutes because of the awesome
presence of God in and around me. Here I was sitting on the side of I-35
across from Baylor University being touched deeply in my inner man. I
found myself asking the Lord of the whole earth for the nations as my
inheritance.
As Ruby and I sit last evening here in the hills of Samaria having a cup of
coffee we both commented about how much we feel at home here in Israel. Our
prayer for each of you that reads this short e-pistle is that you will have
a burning desire to pack up and go where ever He might lead. Remember
that eternity is just around the corner and it is in the heart of your God
to be able to declare across His heaven that He is was well pleased with
your walk in time.
The Lord gave me the three word title ASK OF ME this morning for the last
e-pistle that I will write here in Israel before we return to Texas this
week. I love how the Lord is able to show us over and over His heart
towards us and to encourage us to ASK. Let the following passage from the
King Himself penetrate deeply into your inner most being.
“Keep on asking and it will be given you; keep on seeking and you will
find; keep on knocking and the door will be opened to you. For everyone
who keeps on asking receives, and he who keeps on seeking finds, and to him
who keeps on knocking it will be opened.” (Matthew 7:7-8)
Is our God awesome or what? May His little three letter word “ASK” grip
you today as you get before the God that loves you perfectly and has great
plans for you and you find yourself with great excitement and expectation
shouting to the Lord that you have come to “ASK”. Glory!
I am on my way this morning to meet with a man that has a desire to help promote cottage industry here in Israel. He called me and wants to show our soap and water to nations in Europe this fall as he travels there. My asking God for the nations concerning the work of our hands here in Israel has brought forth this meeting. Thanks again for your own orders for our products.
