The Unlikely Missionary

  So now wrap your heart tightly around the hope that lives within us, knowing that God always keeps his promises!     -Hebrews 10:23, Passion Translation   I was taught that expecting God to give me things or do things for me was bad. We’re told to ask God for things but, in the same breath, not expect Him to give them to us. It was in the name of piety but how backward is that? Especially because it contradicts God’s Word. Then on the flip side, now we tell people to "Name it and claim it" but that leads to disillusioned Christians disappointed that God hasn't granted their wishes. God isn't a genie. That contradicts God's Word too. How many of us know the scripture, ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened to you? ( Matthew 7:7-8) If this is true, which it is, doesn’t that create expectancy? Doesn’t that mean I should expect to receive something? Of cour...

We are talking the Gift of Relationship and this has to be one on my favorite songs by Anointed. It's saying Take Me Back because God has never left us, we walked away and the amazing things about God is that He is always willing and able to take us back. ♯♭I don't love you like I used to When nothing came between my god and me And somehow it seems I've lessened my dependence And wonder why it's not the way it used to be But I'm ready to learn how to faithfully love you With my heart, my soul and my mind Take me back, take me back To the time I fell in love I don't serve you like I used to 'Cause I'm too busy serving me And I don't spend the time with you I need to And wonder why my soul cannot find peace ♭ But I'm ready to learn how to faithfully serve you With my hands, my life and my time Take me back, take me back To the time I fell in love (Take me back, take me back, take me back there) In ...

I know alot of people question why God allows things to happen. I've said this before and I'll probably say it again, many times. Its because He has given us free will. He gives us the ability to choose whether we want Him in our lives or not. That does not mean that God won't stop things from happening. He will, but we have to ask. Ask and it will be given to you; For everyone who asks receives; Matthew 7:7-8 If you don't ask you can't receive and in these times especially where families are being ripped apart, lives are being lost and rights are being stripped away we need not just speak out and against injustice but in that same voice ask that God mete out His justice for the injustices being rendered. In my distress I called to the Lord; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears. Psalm 18:6 This should be an audible prayer. A prayer deep in the soul that forces you to speak aloud as ...

I love music because it is the way that God ministers to my heart. I will be sharing a lot of music on here but today I just wanted you to know that God hears you when you pray and He WILL ANSWER! The Unlikely Missionary, DHW

Matthew 7:7-11   7 "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.   9 "Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!  Over the last few months I have seen the Lord move in a mighty way all because of one simple thing, I asked Him to. The Lord wants us to ask. His Word says ask and it will be given, seek and you will find, knock and God will open the door and invite you in. I'm NOT talking about facetious prayers; I'm talking about asking for the Lord to rain down His blessings, asking the Lord to shower you with His grace and mercy. Petitioning Him for strength when you feel tota...
