Living Stones As A Testimony

Ministry always has challenges. The stories are all over the Bible. Mark and I have had some interesting things happen simultaneously to us during our Bible study this summer. Very often we begin to discuss things and it comes out that unknowingly God has been pointing us both to the same scripture verses or the same Biblical concepts. We just look at each other and are amazed at God's direction. God is refining us at the Rock to prepare us to have a some new beginnings. I believe we will have a greater belief in what He can do, greater unity of purpose, a powerful witness of the memories of the past and more. God has been with us all along as we look at our heritage and his sovereignty over our lives. The Israelites placed stones from the Jordon as a remembrance to their children and future generations. In 1 Peter2:4-5 we are living stones because we are reminders to the world that Jesus was here by our own testimony.

There is great freedom in putting our total trust in the Lord 24/7 along with personal guidance and security. I'm excited about the great things He has in store for us and look forward to an amazing faith walk. Ministry is about shepherding and pointing to God and sifting through the everyday deception that the enemy tries to use to distract us from God's purpose in our lives. It is exciting to be on the front line but requires lots of prayer and spiritual alertness. Be encouraged dear friends to step out on the water and into great freedom as we take on His perspective!
