09/25/07 - ASK OF ME


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!

Homer & Ruby Owen 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.
