Straight Forward Preaching

Many times when I write something I have no idea what I’m gonna write about when I start. In fact that’s the rule here. So here and on the Northern Farmer blog I sometimes just start with some of the day, the weather, stuff like that. Many times I delete the whole works because I just ain’t getting no flow at all. Basically if I can’t write and enjoy it, I give up. All day long stuff goes through my head about what I could write about, then when I start I have a total mind blank and just work my way into it. Sometimes it takes off pretty good. (I don’t know if anyone noticed but that’s what I’m doing right now, kinda the prelude.)

Since I replaced my old computer named Hal with this new jobby things are taking off. When I got this thing I made a vow it would only be used for the Kingdom of God, nothing else, well the weather is part of the Kingdom I figure. But that’s about as far as I stray from what drives me on the computer. And since getting this new one I can’t hardly believe what it’s coming up with. For years I couldn’t find sites that held any interest for me on the internet as far as faith matters go and now they’re just rolling out. Now if I could figure out how to categorize the links on this blog. It was on the old computer that I found Pastor Anthony Wynn preaching on Holy Ghost Online and I tell you I’ve been giving that site a workout. I needed that site and will forever be grateful that they have such a thing. Good old fashion Holy Ghost preaching 24/7.

I also have a few more links that I put on here too, for myself to use and anyone else that’s interested. Backing up a bit, this past spring our pastor in our little church in the hills set me on a coarse to investigate revival. Supplied me with books and fanned the flame of interest in me that hasn’t let up one bit since. It’s only grown. In fact investigating this subject is how I found Holy Ghost Online. There’s two others on the link list that are very special to me. One is Revival Journal and the other American Pentecost. I was praising Jesus for the fact that these came across my path. As with Holy Ghost Online, I haven’t even scratched the surface of these two other blogs that I love to read. What a tremendous blessing these are!

There’s nothing that catches my attention more than the Word of God being preached the way it was meant to be preached. And these three sites sure do that and stay with it. No compromise. They don’t nit pick about about religious matters as so many., many other sites do. Just lay it out the way the Word of God says. Nothing added, nothing taken away. Glory to God, thank you for people that walk the walk.

I’ve discovered that when I teach that’s the way I’ve been approaching everything also. Straight forward, nothing else. Don’t mush nothing up, just lay it out. I know as far as writing on the Northern Farmer blog that’s the way I always did it too. No matter what people think, it’d just be dished out truthfully. Sometimes I’d screw up a bit, but who doesn’t.

Been thinking since Sunday, been thinking allot. In the last post I wrote about being healed by the Word. Well, we got a lady at church that’s really into the Prophetic and she told me to start laying hands on the sick. Normally I brush their talk off, don’t really know why. Well, maybe it’s because I lean very hard on the evangelist gift and I can hardly notice other gifts. I have an exceptionally difficult time with prophetic groups also. I believe in the prophetic, just there ’s so much wrong with so much of it out there now. But I know that healing is something God wants His children to have. He just wants us to believe, to lean on Him. cast our cares on Him, all of them.

Three things spark an intense interest in me, evangelism, revival and divine healing. And all three do go together. I often wondered how does a person figure out their calling. You know, you always hear that one should follow their calling. I was bewildered a while back until our pastor told me “what draws you?” Well, there’s no question there! Not only do these things draw me, they drive me! Things are happening out here. Things are happening in our little church that I wouldn’t have imagined a couple of years ago.In such a spiritually dead area there’s an awakening happening. It might seem small to our eyes but I know God doesn’t see it that way. He sees the whole picture. He sees the final result!

Edit: I came across an important post this morning as I was skimming over the computer. Here’s the link to Revival Blog and the post I’m talking about, more later!
