Romans 8:29

"For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers."

Happenings

At a church in Kelowna, Daniel and I talked to Dave. He had a lot of problems and took some time to share them. Daniel said one thing, I said one thing, Daniel prayed one thing and I prayed one thing. This post isn't about what Dave said, or even what Daniel and I said. That's a simple story enough - the man wasn't employing the name of Jesus, he was employing himself based on how righteous he thought he was. We told him to use Jesus' name, which is to use Jesus himself to expel the enemy. We hit it right on the nail.

What I'm rejoicing about is God's divine appointments. I'm not sure we impacted anyone with the opportunities that YWAM offers, and we may not even have inspired anyone in that church to do missions. But we did free a wandering soul, at least for a while, from fear and trembling before an already-defeated villain.

God, thank you for arranging all we do, and using us.
Also, I prayed for blueberry syrup and you gave it to me, complete with pancakes and orange juice.
So thank you again.

Friends, God protects and provides.
