Prayer

Wow, gotta say that when you get the chance, you should go pray with some pentecostal people. Today I was prayed for by my pastor, Don. He called me out in front of everyone and put me front and center to lay hands on me and pray. It was a releasing and formative few minutes. When Don prays for you his body travails unlike anyone I've ever seen, but his prayers are genuine and his eyes run with tears. Not the kind that are fake, but more the authentic tears of a father. Today he instructed me to look to Acts 20:24 and to read it in many versions to gain a good understanding. It says, "But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God."

None of these things moves me. I stand steady in the grace of Christ. God's call today was faithfulness. Nothing more. Just be faithful.

It was a great encouragement to me, I hope God's word will speak to you today as well.
