NEW-
Both of my friends- homeless vets- got their new apartments
on the same day.
It was thru a program that seeks to find veterans homes.
So- I figured we’d do our first meeting/talk at Bobby’s
place today.
It’s in an area where I used to visit Pops who passed away-
not far from where me and David started a halfway house a few years ago.
Jimmy brought up lots of the stuff I have been teaching the last
few weeks- and Bobby shared as well.
I made this video the day after Claire and Crow spoke- and after
I turned the video off I told Jimmy how Claire said she often just asks God for
the things she needs- and within a day or 2 God provides.
Jimmy said that’s exactly what has happened with him.
As you see the stories of my friends- notice how even the most
basic things- shelter- are considered a great blessing.
In Claire’s case- she doesn’t even have a ‘shelter’ [she’s
been homeless for years].
Yet she too is grateful and sees God meeting her needs.
How many of us are ungrateful- because we do not seem to
have ‘more stuff’?
Or more income?
Yet- my friends are testifying about things that most of us
take for granted.
I’m glad Bobby got the place downtown- because it reminded
me of the time I spent with Pop’s- and hopefully you will see us do many more
meetings there over time.
After I left Bobby- I took Jimmy to his apartment here where
I live in Flour Bluff.
He has a beautiful upstairs apartment- I mean it is nice.
Yes- he needs to get some furniture and stuff- but his place
would rent for around 900 here in Corpus Christi- and maybe twice that in New
Jersey.
Jimmy talked about the Holy Spirit and how we today have
‘more’ than the early disciples- before they too received the Spirit- on the
day of Pentecost.
Claire said people often don’t ask God- and believe.
James tells us ‘we have not- because we ask not’-
James 4:2
Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight
and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
Yes- my friends ask God- and they see him answer their
prayers.
And sometimes we forget the simple stuff- and God uses the
meek of the earth to remind us.
PAST LINKS-
VERSES-
Bring ye all the tithes
into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now
herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a
blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
24 But
Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
25 The other
disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I
shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print
of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
26 And after
eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came
Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto
you.
27 Then
saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach
hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but
believing.
28 And
Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and
my God.
29 Jesus
saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed
are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
John
31 Then
saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for
it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be
scattered abroad.
32 But after
I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.
33 Peter
answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee,
yet will I never be offended.
34 Jesus
said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow,
thou shalt deny me thrice.
35 Peter
said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee.
Likewise also said all the disciples.
Matt.
Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient foryou that I go away: for if I go not away,
the Comforter will not come unto you;
but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
Romans
15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye
may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
