I'm Going Away - Going To Transformed

Well it has been a while since I've added to my blog. I haven't had anything to really say and have felt as of late uninspired to write anything here. However I thought I should write about my going away to Georgia to visit my grandparents. I'll be leaving around the 20th of November and will be getting back home (south Florida) around December 31st. I'll be going to Transformed which is a one day event with Kirk Cameron, Ray Comfort, Todd Friel, Emeal ("E.Z.") Zwayne as speakers. I'm eternally greatful to these guys, they are my brothers in Christ. This should be great and I hope many people will be transformed indeed by the grace of God.

I don't know why the Lord would have me go but it seems like the Lords will. What happens by me going to Georgia is a mystery to me, perhaps nothing will happen however I feel as though this is a door to a new thing, to the glory of God.

All of this will happen by the will of God if it happens. Whether it does or it doesn't, I will give thanks to the Lord, He is so worthy and whether it does or it doesn't I will trust in the Lord about all things and for all things.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." - Proverbs 3:5-6

Thanks Be To God

Got back from meeting with Danny, Chuck and Caleb. We met around 7:00PM and we prayed and talked with each other more on evangelism. Then we went around and spoke with various people and passed out many gospel tracts. Danny spoke for the first time with people, he told me he thought the Lord had been very gracious to him by letting his first encounters not be so rough with him. Chuck also went and spoke with some people tonight and indeed the Lord has been gracious to Danny and Chuck and us all. I spoke with a few people, a Muslim who was very open to discussion. I enjoyed our short discussion. I'm thankful to the Lord for all things, He is so gracious. Danny and I want to preach together, yet I feel unable to. May the Lords will be done.

We Got Shutdown!

Tonight, I met up, as usual with Malcom and Kay just around 7:30PM. Elias and Jose also came and brought two others with him. We prayed for about 30 minutes and left to go to the beach.

Lately, It seems that I've been more sensitive to the reality of evil and it causes me pain. A father dieing, a friend spraining his ankle, another having a stroke, car accidents to say of some of this evil and the most of all evil that I have been sensitive to, is the presence of God being dim. At times I'm shown very little of the unbelief and pride, arrogance and self-seeking that is within me. The honor and praises of men which I seek and the hypocrisy. It lays its weight to me and cuts at my foundation. How I long to be delivered of all evil.

"But deliver us from evil."

We setup at the beach and Malcom began preaching just around 8:30PM. From the moment he began to preach, we had 2 woman hecklers who wouldn't be quiet. At times they caused interruptions during the preaching and it only got worse. It turned into chaos. Someone called the police and they came out while Jose was preaching. They told us we could not preach unless we had a permit. So we obeyed, packed up and left around 10PM.

I have a vague theory that every single thing that happens, whether small or large, good or evil, is divinely ordained by God Himself for the purpose of His glorification.

So we're planning now to get a permit and in the meantime I think we will "flee to another city," as it were and preach somewhere else. Yet we're hoping we can get a permit to preach were we have always preached.

If I've gone out tonight not to the glory of God, I've done a vain work. I pray that whatever I do, I do to the glory of God.

Charles Spurgeon gave some fine words, he said:

"Let the light come from God, and though a child shall bring it, we will joyfully accept it."

To my weary soul, this dim light has been whispered to me by a child tonight, that He is not afar off.

"Come to me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest to your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." -- Matthew 10:28-30

Tonight The Lord Has Dealt Kindly With Me

What a night that I had tonight! I'm tired, its 1:18AM and I ought to be going to bed now....But I must write about tonight, the Lord has been gracious to me, even tonight. I met with Malcom and 6 others tonight. Angelo and Elias were not here this week, though the Lord supplied 6 others, so there was 8 of us tonight, gathered in His name. I met up with Malcom and 2 others just after 8PM tonight. We prayed for about 10 minutes and we left for the beach.

As we got their, others joined us. Kay, Malcom's wife came tonight again and I was happy to see her back from Minnesota. Tonight there was a huge festival going on, so there were mass amounts of people, not like in the past month. We found a suitable place to preach and Malcom began to preach. Jose, preached for the first time in Spanish, with much passion. I couldn't understand a word he said, but I could hear the passion he preached with. As a old saint used to say, "Preaching is not a profession, its a passion."

After Jose preached, I'm glad to have been given the opportunity to be made a fool in the sight of men and I'm thankful for it. God gave me the grace to preach once again. I'm thankful to my God, who is my God, indeed.

I spoke with a girl about certain ministers of the Bible. She told me that we ought not to be judging men of God, she seemed sincere to me, she said it is dangerous to speak against them. I agreed, yet, should we not discern their teaching? Should we not "know them by their fruits"? As a sincere little one, discern teaching! Discern a pastor! Discern a church! Know a godly person, by their fruit!

She became angry with me, for making a judgment over this certain minister's way of telling fallen man the gospel of Jesus Christ, which is vital if fallen man is to be saved. If a minister preaches the gospel, but lightly glances over sin in his presentation of it, he lacks a correct understanding of how to preach the gospel. There is a correct way to preach the gospel and there is a false way to preach the gospel. You are not dealing with child's play, but with people's soul's.

Way Of The Master

Tonight, the Lord has been gracious and very kind to me.

"Man's chief end is to glorify God,
and to enjoy him for ever."
