As a follower of Jesus Christ, I have taken this opportunity of having a place to share some of the very personal thoughts, words and aspirations that I have garnered and gathered around me over the years. In the process I will try to the best of my ability to steer clear of 'religious' language that sounds so strange and alien to someone who has not been brought up in that kind of environment. In any case there is such a lot of religious garbage around that it can do without my adding to it. With that having been said I trust that you will find a nugget of truth that will bless you and help you along your way.
Ministry?
l recall as a younger man how earnestly I had been seeking the Lord for the gift and the ministry that I felt assured He had for me. But on this particular occasion the only word i could get - and it would come to me over and over again in various ways - was this passage from Micah 6:8, Add a comment |

An excerpt from George H. Warnock’s Book “The Hyssop”
I awoke in the night with an understanding of how little I have understood the call of Jesus to follow Him. In Matthew 10:38 Jesus make this statement to His disciples “He that takes not his cross and follows after me is not worthy of me”. Then again in chapter 16:24 He makes it into a threefold injunction when He says “If any one will come after me:
God has given us an ironclad promise for life on this earth. He says that when our enemy attempts to walk over us, “My people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I” (Isaiah 52:6). In other words, God says, “When you’re in your darkest trial, I will come and speak a word to you. You’ll hear me say, ‘It is I, Jesus, your Savior. Don’t be afraid.’”
The evidence is undeniable that Satan is marking and defacing all others as he wills. The Son’s of God are being Marked, Sealed / Coined / Minted by God ... Praise The Lord!
When I came to the place where I found it possible to have a relationship with the God of the Universe it turned my universe upside-down. Things that had frustrated and caused me untold cause for concern, habits that had seemed ungovernable and out of my control began to come into what I later discovered to be divine control. He is only a cry or a prayer away.
