Romans 10:17 – So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Oh it’s good to be back blogging. Over the last few weeks I have finished the rewrite of my fiction book, started production again, and planned a trip to California. It’s been wonderfully busy and FILLED with the blessings of The Lord. Honestly, I have seen a MAJOR upgrade in the effectiveness of our FAITH walk. It’s been wonderful. We have major ministry needs and the Lord is supplying them ALL! Praise His Holy Name!

SO what was the difference? What exactly can I chalk this increase to over the past month? First, and always, to the Grace of our Good God, but many people rely on His grace daily and remain at the same level.

One example is that we needed some extra money to make the move to the place that will be our home/office here in Mississippi while we are on the field. We need somewhere to put out stuff and handle all the office equipment at the same time. I remember walking outside at our old place, leaning up against Darlene’s car, and whispering, “Lord, I know you will provide. What should WE do in the meantime?”

“Start packing. I’ll make the way,” I heard in my heart (not an audible voice).
I walked inside and hit the CHECK MAIL button on my Macbook. A five hundred donation came through in between the time I walked outside and came back in! God is Good!

Another example is our printer. We have always mailed nice newsletters out to our partners once a month, but in the first five months after we arrived in the USA our income was nearly cut in half (not anymore, Praise God!). We were forced to scale back on our printing because our Laser printer died and to get it printed cost hundred of dollars without it. Well we out out a twitter message starting our need, and two days later ordered a new Color Duplex Wireless Laser printer. We sent out latest mail-out early this week. Thank God, and thank you partners for being the channel of his blessings.

Ok, one more. This one is amazing. After all was said and done we had very little money left over for administration work. We five 15% to our mission projects and partner missionaries worldwide and then from there we handle our ministry work. That day I got absolutely agitated at the bottom numbers in quickbooks. This could not be. I took fifty dollars out of our God Account and gave it in faith. Because we often leave our home and family for the sake of the Kingdom of God we qualify for the hundred fold return (Mark 10:30 ) in this life and the life to come (with persecution). We are currently standing in FAITH for $5,000 dollars per month so we can truly do the work of the ministry with all of our hearts. We will still be living by Luke Ten, with the people eating their food, but with this extra income we will be able to do larger and more projects and training sessions everywhere we go. Well a few days later (we told nobody but family what we were believe for) we received a $5000 check in the mail! That’s ONE month of our budget met! Praise God! It pushed us to stand in faith even stronger for monthly pledges from all of our partners to match that!

$5,000 per month, you are ours! God has provided all we need!

So, what was the difference. Well I know for 100^% sure what the change was. It wasn’t in the economy. It wasn’t in our clever emails. It wasn’t in my business skills or social networking. It was completely connected to my level of FEEDING MY FAITH. The people who gave told us, “We just felt the Lord put you guys on our hearts.”

Amazing.

A month ago I decided that my FAITH walk was not where it should be, so I decided to start eating. I downloaded probably fifty sermons from Keith Moore’s website and began to eat them up steadily while at the gym and at home. I ‘ate’ like a starving pig. Sometimes three sermons a day played on my iphone. Forward in Faith, True Faith, Laws of Increase, etc. I had to get more and more. As a result my faith was built up from hearing the word, my talking and actions changed, and when I gave I gave in Love and TRUE expectancy that something would indeed grow from this planted seed (2 Corinthians 9). Our numbers have grown this month to now I feel good about putting up that we have reached $2500 of our $5,000 a month goal! The one time gift put us back to where we need to be and now we are getting more and more faithful people who are being led to support us.

To be set apart requires that we train our minds to have the Faith, Hope, and Love of Christ in our lives. That comes from hearing the WORD OF GOD. Once faith is there, put a faith action with it, and watch God honor your trust in Him. Like never before the world needs us to be blessed to we can do our part in rescuing the un-reached and suffering worldwide.
