| Called To Train | Speaking Life |
| A Time To Say “YES LORD” | Remembrance Bringing Forth Testimony |
It
is on my heart to encourage all
of you to speak life into your families, neighbors
and those you are
around
each day. It all started with me around ten years ago when the wife of
our homegroup
leader started speaking life into my husband. The leader’s wife used to
meet my
husband when we arrived and would call him “A Mighty Man of God”. At that particular time I didn’t see him as a
“A Mighty Man of God”. This continued for some time and the sister
remained
consistent with her encouragement of my husband. Here
it is many years later and I am married
to a “Mighty Man of God”. I look back on
those days and recall how my husband was encouraged and built up by one
women’s
faithful ministry.
The
story does not end there, as time
went on the truth concerning God’s faithfulness was revealed to me. I learned that God has made many promises to
us;
we only need to walk in faith for them to become reality in our lives
and the
lives of those around us. Prayer is a mandatory element to go along
with moving
in what God has already given us. He
says it, we must believe it and move in the situation knowing it is
already
done and we will see the reality as we walk in the faith that He said
it - so
it is.
Faith
moved me forward and I began
speaking, you are a “Mighty Man of God” into my son’s life. I did not
know how
this would manifest itself. I do know
God is faithful to the promises He has given us. Just
the other day, four years after speaking
these words into my son’s life I received an email with encouraging
words from
him that He had been seeing the Lord’s hand in the lives of his father
and I as
well as in his own. I must tell you my
heart leapt as I read my child’s words.
Not that our training had sunk into his life, but that the
reality of
faith in God had taken a stand in our son’s life.
This
has been just one instance of
the faithfulness of our God. This one
instance has touched many lives and continues to do so.
It is these instances that result in bringing
Glory to our God. Isn’t that what our
lives are all about?
