When you is precious to God, you become important to Satan. By Denver Moore
One more from Denver:
There’s something I learned when I was homeless: Our limitation is God’s opportunity. When you get all the way to the end of your rope and there ain’t nothin you can do, that’s when God takes over. I remember one time I was hunkered down in the hobo jungle with some folks. We was talkin bout life, and this fella was talkin, said, “People think they’re in control, but they ain’t. The truth is, that which must befall thee must befall thee. And that which must pass thee by must past thee by.” Denver Moore
The Denver Moore and Ron Hall story, “Same Kind of Different as me” is an AWESOME book. I encourage you to get a copy and read.
We also have this story for you:

I am about to share with you a teaching from Dr. David Jeremiah, My old boss at WFRN in South Bend/Elkhart, Ind. Ed Moore is the one who gave Dr. Jeremiah his start in radio years ago in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Ed started him out with a devotional program on a secular station in morning drive! The rest is history! I have been surrounded with people over the years like Ed Moore…….one of the leaders in Christian radio…….Today I am surrounded by many more who help me in my daily walk with Jesus Christ…..I GIVE PRAISE TO GOD FOR THAT!!! https://www.wfrn.com
Here is a teaching from Dr. Jeremiah taken from his book, Prayer the Great Adventure………
Let us start today by reading through the Lord’s prayer…….
Our father who art in heaven.
Hallowed by Thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done.
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.
Amen (Matt. 6:9-13)
Notice the emphasis on God in the first three petitions. Thy name, Thy kingdom, Thy will. Then notice the second part of the prayer and its emphasis on the poverty of man: Give us, forgive us, deliver us. Then see how the prayer comes full circle by ending with a tight focus on God once more: Thy kingdom, Thy power, Thy glory. God has all the glory and all the power and all the majesty, and you and I have all the needs and all the wants and all the poverty. He’s got everything; we have nothing. It’s wonderful to come with empty hands to the One who is able to give us everything we need. That’s what this prayer is all about and what it will teach us if we strive to learn it’s secrets.
The Lord’s prayer is a roadmap for us to use when we pray. It’s like driving down a highway dotted to one side with signposts.
As we pass the first intersection, we are reminded that we need to acknowledge and give praise to God: “Our father who art heaven, hallowed be thy name.”
WOW! What a teaching from Dr. Jeremiah.
I think we really need to slow down when we say the Lords prayer………and get the true meaning of it………Let the Holy Spirit move within you……..
After posting……….God must increase……….we must decrease………
Pastor Leonard emailed this……..
Once a young pastor was called to another town to preach. In his absence, his wife and daughter stayed at the home of a friend. On the bedroom way, just over the bed in which they slept, was picture of the Lord Jesus. This image was reflected in the large mirror of the dressing table standing in the room’s bay window.
When the daughter woke on her first morning there, she saw the picture of reflecting in the mirror while she still lay in bed and exclaimed, “Mommy, Mommy, I can see Jesus through the mirror!” She quickly got up to take a closer look, but in so doing brought her body between the picture and the mirror, so that instead of seeing the picture of Jesus reflected, she now saw herself.
So she lay down again, and again she saw the picture of Jesus. She was up and down several times after that, her eyes fixed on the mirror. Then she said, “Mommy, when I can’t see myself, I can see Jesus, but every time I see myself, I don’t see Him.”
How true it is. When self, the big “I”, fills the vision, we miss seeing Jesus.
“Sir,” they said, “we would like to see Jesus” John 12:21
Praying for each one of you and your families.
Leonard
