Michael,

You just proved my point. Lester Sumrall did just that, embarked on a two year round the world missionary

journey with no money in his pocket...read it for yourself. I've heard this man preach in person several

times. The choice is yours. God wants your actions and not talk. Good intentions will never get you

anywhere, only real faith with real feet. Jesus said, "Peter, do you love me? Then feed my sheep."

And maybe you are right...God has no intention for you to go to another country. So what's your problem,

do it here where you live. Go to the hospitals, go to the nursing homes, do it like I did and start a Bible

study/home fellowship/house church right in your very own home or a friend's home. You are speaking

to one who has been there. You say you are"not stupid." Then quit sounding like you are and do something

for the kingdom of God. Go tell someone about Jesus. If you have to, go stand on top of a cemetery

tombstone and start preaching like John Wesley did. Wesley was anointed and God brought the people

to him. Read the stories for yourself. God is "no respector of persons." You, or I and anyone else is

without excuse when it comes to serving God.

Now lay your hand to the plow....

Micheal, faith is believing God for something before you see the manifestation of it. Mark 11:24 tells us that when we pray, to believe right then that we received what we are asking for, not when we see the manifestation of it. So, what you have need of ask God for it, and start believing Him that it is already yours. Praise him for it everyday even if you don't see it. Confess with your mouth it is already yours!!!

Faith is a creative force, the more you believe God and praise God for it, the more faith is being released from your spirit and it is creating the answer to your need. The more of the word of God that you confess, the more of angelic activity you are allowing into your situation. Psalms 103 talks about the angels harken to the voice of GOd's word. They go into action as you and as I give voice to God's word.

Just waiting for the manifestation without releasing faith, will bring nothing. It isn't God's fault. He has made spiritual laws in this universe that we have to abide by.

One of these laws is Mark 11:24. Hebrews 11:3 talks about how God spoke the universe forth through words of faith. We, as sons and daughters of HIS, have the same spiritual ability within us. But, we have to activate that ability by feeding our faith the word of God, and releasing that faith through confessions of faith through praise.

God loves you Micheal, but, you have to overcome this obsticle in order to go forth into the things God has called you into.

When I feel as though my faith level is low, I get into Kenneth Hagin, or Kenneth Copeland and Keith Moore teachings. This increases my faith by listening to them teach the word of God. That is why they were called, to teach us faith and how to operate that faith.

I hope this has helped you Micheal.

Michael,

Run with the Vision, by Lester Sumrall, page 20. "I went to the closet and pulled out a little forty-nine cent

brown, fiberboard suitcase. It didn't take long to fill it with what few clothes I had. My father had already left

for work when I marched downstairs again, suitcase in hand. 'Where are you going?' my mother wanted

to know. 'Out to preach.' 'But, son, where are you going to preach? You have nowhere to go.' 'I don't

know where I'm going, Mother, but I've got to go.' I kissed her goodbye and walked out onto the front

porch. I would never return to that house again."

You are right, Michael, Lester did have funds...later on while preaching he worked...slopping hogs.

I had an uncle who had polio and lived in a wheelchair. He had only one arm that "worked." He

got a job and supported his family. His example to me preached louder than any sermon.

I don't think you are as serious about preaching, as you would like us to think. If you have anything

close to the limbs that my uncle had, you can work for your funds, just like the apostle Paul did.

I just want to share a few things and I pray this will encourage you and help you.

One is that I remember in the Word where Jesus sent out his disciples and told them to take nothing extra with them. Nothing. Not even a change of undergarments. Nothing. Just what they were wearing (not even a bottle of water...haha)! Every single need was provided when they did that. Jesus' point in this was to show them Who their Provider was. How God just "unfolds" their provisions. They did go out.....in faith that "something" would happen. They didn't stay back. They "went." Well, later on, He sent them out with extras but they knew then, Who their Supplier was. They learned it and experienced it the first way before they could do it the second way. I think about this story so much. Very often. That was probably kind of scary for them. Wow!

Another thing is Hebrews 13:5-6..........and the main part I want to mention is where it says this (Amp. Version)...."...for He [God] Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. [I will] not, [I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let [you] down (relax My hold on you)! [Assuredly not]! The next part says....So we take comfort and are encouraged and confidently and boldly say, The Lord is my Helper;....................

Another thing, is there are numerous verses that say that God is not a liar. God is not a man, that He should tell or act a lie, neither the son of man, that He should feel repentance or compunction [for what He has promised]. Has He said and shall He not do it? Or has He spoken and shall He not make it good. Num. 23:19

I can understand your feelings but this is what the enemy wants us to think. The only way to see the desired results that we want is to stand in faith.....as long as necessary while speaking out the truth nonstop. Faith in God's Word ALWAYS produces results......the time frame of standing on His Word can vary.........but the results to come. We just must not waver in our believing. It really is just all up to us.

Either we believe His Word (without any manifestations) or we don't. In consistency lies the power. But I would say that the first thing to check out when something has not happened yet that we are waiting for and expecting is our Love Walk. That is the first thing that should be right. If not, we need to make a change. Faith ONLY works if we are walking in love.

Then are we complaining, grumbling, gripping, faultfinding, etc.? Well, we know what happens when we do that. It closes the doors on the blessings of God. Just look at the Israelites out there in the wilderness.

Lastly, in Hebrews 3 and 4, it talks about how the children of God did not enter in the Promise Land because of doubt and unbelief. They disobeyed. How? By not believing in His Word.......what He said. Their doubt and unbelief was disobedience. And Heb.3:12 says this:

[Therefore beware] brethen, take care, lest there be in any one of you a wicked, unbelieving heart [which refuses to cleave to, trust in, and rely on Him] leading you to turn away and desert or stand aloof from the living God.

We must not doubt and have unbelief because that is disobedience which comes from a wicked heart. We, being, the Body of Christ!

Be encouraged. Don't give up. I know there is hurt and anger here and I DO understand what you are feeling. I really do.

Promise - Problem - Provision...... God Has Provision for the Vision

Reply Contact

Michael, aka Defending the Word, I thought you were banned??? Its good to hear from you... question:

Who's Word are you defending?

Its Doc, remember me? God Resists the Proud and gives Grace to the humble, and we shouldn't be so touchy and fretful and easily offended, God looks at our hearts above all else, I am not judging you as you seem to easily think whenever someone speaks the Truth in your life. but want you to have God's Best.

I too have been invited to other nations - that does not mean that we are called to go there at that time,

God has a GREAT plan for your life and wants to heal you from the inside out. He will start with your heart and then your body and when you are ready - with good attitude will give you money to do more things..

But the fact is He has already given you everything you need for your ministry... like someone already said - start where you are - get to it - go to your neighbors, to the streets, be a soulwinner, it doesn't take money to open up your phone book and start calling every number and try to share Jesus with them...

Humility is the Key to your success..

Please don't make this good post of God's Word like you did in the Marriage forum.

Don't be like the children of Israel and grumble and complain and have to go around the mountain again and again...

Promise

Problem

Provision

With every Promise comes a Problem and just behind that problem is the Provision..

Are you in the problem?

Praise your Way out

Thank your way out!

Provision is just a head!

see yourself with the provisions able to do what God put in your heart.

Jehovah Jireh = God See's and Provides

in other words God has Provision for the Vision

With the utmost humility I sincerely apologize to everyone for having ever asked for your understanding regarding my plea for God to consider me to be rightfully worthy of his faithfulness in any area of my life.

I have already asked God for his forgiveness for having ever thought that I had any right to expect him to stand faithful to his word at anytime in anyway (MOST especially) for me and I have made a personal vow to him to NEVER again ask for anything from by faith at anytime IF he has any consideration at anytime to do anything for me he will if not he will not either way it does not matter..

I have also correctly concluded because of this that is NOT Gods will after all for me to preach his word and therefore I have also vowed to him that I will never again preach at anytime anywhere for any reason.

I have closed down Life More Abundant Ministries permanently and have contacted all who are in anyway connected with that now dead ministry to inform them to no longer pray for me or that now non existent
ministry.

I want to thank all of you for opening my eys to what God really wants from me and exactly how God really feels about me personally there are those of you whom God chooses to bless in rewarding your faith and then there is me who God chooses NOT to reward, did he not say I kill and make alive?

To each and everyone of you that I have offended in anyway I sincerely apologize and ask for your forgiveness.

God bless you all, Goodbye.....

Michael-

I hope you are still reading these forums. Because I think I have a tool for you to look into that will help you immensely. I wish I knew the material well enough to explain it here but I do not, so I will refer you to the author and her books. Please go to libertysavard.com and read over what she says. Then, get her book, "the Unsurrendered Soul" and read it through. I have read it 2 times since October 07, and it has changed my life.

I see where you are coming from, I was on my way there. You do have a point, you cannot tell people to have faith in and believe in something you yourself have not experienced. That would be lying and preaching about something you don't believe in. I assume that you believe that God exists, and that Christ died and rose and all of that. Well, it's a decision you make daily, to crucify your flesh; When we were born again our spirit was renewed immediately; but not our minds, wills, emotions, & bodies... these all take time daily reading and studying God's word. as it says in there somewhere :) 'faith comes by hearing the word of God'.... well, log onto dailyaudiobible.com and download their podcast and LISTEN and HEAR the word of GOD spoken to yo daily. See what it does.

I have hope for you and your situation and I will pray for you, because I have been there and I understand your dilemma. I will continue to assume that You do have faith in the basics (unless you tell me otherwise), GOD IS, GOD WAS, and GOD IS TO COME; Jesus is and was, etc.... now you just have to let your Spirit that knows these things rule your life instead of your un-regenerated soul.

Read the book before you give up completely, pray the prayers she suggests. Listen to the daily audio bible; If these don't work after faithful daily application for 30 days, then I'll shut up.

for the rest of you who have been following Michaels plight... I suggest the same material, I would venture to guess that all of us n this life have some part of us that is not surrendered completely to GOD; it would behoove us all to learn to surrender it ALL!

Exactly I do have and always will have had a very confident confidence in Gods unwavering everlasting faithfulness toward anyone as it relates to all of HIS covenant promises.

I simply want to personally experience that unwavering faithfulness in this certain area so that I can truthfully testify of Gods unwavering faithfulness to me!

Please do not take any personal offense from what I am about to say but as to your suggestion that I read this persons book, I really don't want to depend on another persons experience for encouragement I have read books until my eys hurt and my heart aches trying to find some type of encouragement from that persons experiences and have not yet been encouraged.

But in this case I will when I am able to purchase the book, obtain a copy and read it.

But I'm sure you will understand we don't always find peace for ourselves from someone elses being blessed when we are in a violent storm with raging winds and waves crashing violently all around us.

I really do appreciate you and everyone else who has made a sincere effort to encourage me.

You have to realize that God sees the big picture...that some things we ask for aren't necessarily bad for us, but they aren't God's best. If a toddler asked to go play in the street, would you let him? No! To his understanding, he sees no cars coming, no accidents and views your decision as inappropriate. That is how we misunderstand God sometimes. We ask for things that seem to be in our best interest, but sometimes God has a better plan or maybe just a different one. Just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he didn't listen. Spend time listening for his direction and maybe you'll find the answer to prayer above and beyond what you could have asked for.
