A little over one year ago I attended, as a participant, a workshop called HeartChange which was chronicled in an earlier series of posts. Now I am on the eve of another HeartChange workshop. This time as an assistant.
Tonight there is a training session for all assistants then, tomorrow morning, bright and early until dark and late, the workshop will begin as participants line up to complete the signin process. Due to my “evangelism,” I have some good friends attending the workshop along with (I expect) scores of others.
For the last week I have been trying to “purify” and prepare myself so “me” does not get in the way of the training and teaching that God will be overseeing. The process has been somewhat successful, possibly a huge failure and everywhere in between.
One thing is certain, when God is about to do a great work, the forces of evil are working overtime. I have been attacked – sad to say not from the outside, but from the inside. I know of God’s mercy and I pray that he can use me to reach someone, not for my pride or ego but for their life. All I can say is that anything good that comes out of me is a work of God. There will be much prayer tonight during our training. I’ve also got others bathing me, personally, in prayer. Additionally I asked some to pray for my family during the next few days and the participants.
Lord, I know your truth will set men free! Thank you for these words that I need this day!
Share on FacebookTherefore, if you have been raised with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Keep thinking about things above, not things on the earth, for you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ (who is your life) appears, then you too will be revealed in glory with him. So put to death whatever in your nature belongs to the earth.
