Thoughts for Today

SATURDAY! Have you ever wondered why I start most of my "Thoughts" off with the day of the week in red? It is to give those who read them a big "Eye Boost" of energy that will run right to the brain,, and believe it or not, will make you feel excited of the day.. Believe it or not! And feel free to go right ahead and have a great and happy ,,, another one of many,, of God's days!!! Prayer Request: For all those who are in need of God,, and who have not accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior... that they will see the light of Him, and will accept Him not only in their heart, but will come forward publicly to announce it.. please pray for this ,, and if all will come,, ,watch this Nation, this world ,, flourish,,,, yes Prayer can do all kinds of miracles, so pray, daily, and even more often for He loves to hear from us.... PRAYING ON A FLAT ROCK , OUT IN A FIELD! This , today has to do with a testimony I was privileged to hear ... and first of all ,, it was not a brag of money, but that of an answered prayer.... and I may not get it exactly as I was told ,, but I will get the story told...so here goes.... This man found out that 92 acres of land next to his old home place , and where he lived,,, was up for sale,,, He went to the owner and asked the price of the land,,, The owner told him,, he would have to have 7000 dollars and acre for it... Man that was high,,this man wanted this land, but knew there was not way to ever buy that land,,, so as he was in the field one day, he bent down on his knees on a "flat rock" , and prayed not for God to give it to Him,, but how could he ever afford that price and what should he do..and please help him if it was God's wish...then the man walked away, and went home. Well , a few days or a few weeks went by, and he thought , someone else will buy that land .. even at that high of a price.... Now this man already had another 92 acres elsewhere... but the kind of a price was very, very high.. so he only dreamed , and wondered , "will I ever be able to own that land"?.. and still left it up to God. An then one day, as he sat on his porch, a stranger walked up,, and introduced himself to this man.. told him he had been to the county records office and found some land he really wanted... and found out who this land belonged to , but was told , it was not for sale as far as anyone knew... well guess what? It belonged to this man on the porch, and this land was exactly 92 acres... and he answered quickly,,, yes I own the land and I will sell! and the question right back at the man was of course, how much? The man on the porch said without missing a beat , except that of the heart... 7000 dollars an acre..exhaled a little, and the man looked down, then up ,,,, and two months later ,, this man who was sitting on this porch, well ,, he owned that 92 acres that joined his home place...and he told me that a little white cross given to him had brought him back to God... and the moral of this story is that prayer , and the faith in prayer, with that faith of praying, and then walking off and leaving it in God's hands will be fulfilled in what ever way God determines, and that was the way this prayer was prayed,and that was the faith of that prayer.. OF LEAVING THE DOING TO GOD, AS THAT PRAYER ON A FLAT ROCK IN THE FIELD, OF FAITH WAS DONE! This is the story of praying for with faith, not asking for God to beam down and answer it, but that God hears, and maybe you will pray for something, and be on a porch, or in the yard swing, or driving and the answer will come,, and it may not be as the above 92, for 92, but folks ,, He will answer, and whether it is on a flat rock on your knees, prayer will always work as long as your Faith is being that prayer, and God will answer it, as HE SEES FIT ,,, not always as we ask,,so remember who is in complete control... and maybe I got most of it right, but the message is there! Lord, thank You for the meeting I had yesterday with two or your great Christians, the fellowship we had, the laughing we did, and some of the purest joy of this world ,, for Lord, You were no only there, but it was by request,,, and I ask that more invite you in to their lives,,, as we did yesterday...amen John HIcks Enough said for this day,,, may God Bless You All,, as He has for me!
