Recently at a visit to the campus of Miracle Valley, I saw a lot of progress. It had been over a year since we had visited last. The stage is literally being set for many more miracles to come.
Some may say that miracles can only come when the building has been "FULLY RESTORED."
I know that I am not fully restored, but God surely uses me in the form I am in even at this very moment. Besides, who is to say when we are "fully restored" anyway?
This is the perfect time for the opportunity to have a hand - permanently, on the restoration of this magnificent building, the "MIRACLE VALLEY TABERNACLE."
When you look at the tabernacle, there are exposed structures that are to be covered with insulation and drywall. They will form walls soon.
This brings me to a story that God led me to in the Bible. I think we pass by these verses, and don't really consider ourselves in the "here and now" of our own verses being written in the pages of history.
In the Book of Nehemiah, there is a lot of detail paid to the many people who helped to rebuild Jerusalem. These people have their names forever in the Bible, simply for a small area, which without them, that very section of the wall would not have been built.
The old city gate was repaired by Joiada son of Paseah and Meshullam son of Besodeiah. It says "they laid the beams, setup the doors, installed the bolts and bars."
It goes on to say, the people from Zanoah, led by Hanun, "rebuilt the Valley Gate, hung its doors and installed the bolts and the bars." They also repaired the "fifteen hundred feet of wall to the dung gate."
It says, "then came the people of Tekoa," who repaired another section "opposite the great projecting tower and over to the wall of Ophel."
Oh, such attention given by the writer of this story. Apparently the time and work put in was so important, that it had to be recorded in this way.
Doors need to be hung, walls need to be built still, and beams need to be laid.
What section are you responsible for rebuilding here?
Here is YOUR PERSONAL INVITATION to be an instrument in this project God has so ordered.
Many of you may have been here at MIRACLE VALLEY at some point in your life, while others may have never set foot on the grounds here. However, right now, we can all have a role in its restoration. This is a wonderful opportunity the Lord has presented to us.
Please pray about it. Whether it is sponsoring one 2x4, or sponsoring a few hundred feet or more of the building, sponsoring a window, or a portion of the roof that is in desperate need of repair.
The Lord may have gifted you with a talent to paint, or be a mason, or just know how to hammer in a nail, you'll fit in nicely next to us.
What a good work that is being done here! We servants have begun to rebuild already.
Friends, we know the God of Heaven will help us succeed! He has already done so very much, and everyday continues to amaze and humble us.
Again, we are inviting you to put your name and hand on this building forever.
Each section you sponsor, we will put your name on it, or the name of someone on behalf of you. All will be dedicated to the Lord.
Maybe it is the name of someone you are praying for, and have been for a while with seemingly no results. Remember, God is the God of MIRACLES.
We are Miracle Valley after all!!!
God bless you,
