Dear ,

 

One of my favorite movie scenes is from the film "Facing the Giants".  

 

Mr. Bridges, a concerned prayer warrior who frequently walks the halls of the high school briefly stopping at each locker as he prays for the student, one day steps into the football coach's office. He looks at Coach Taylor, the head football coach, and delivers a message that he had sensed God leading him to share with the coach. The message was one of encouragement, telling a discouraged Coach Taylor that he was being given an opportunity to make a difference, that a door had been opened to the coach and to not give up as God had plans for the school, working through the coach.

 

As he stepped out of the office the coach followed him into the hallway for some clarification. Mr. Bridges continued with this parable...

 

"I heard a story about two farmers who desperately needed rain. Both of them prayed for rain, but only one of them went out and prepared his fields to receive it. Which one do you think trusted God to send the rain?"

 

The coach replied, "Well, the one who prepared his fields for it."

 

Mr. Bridges continued, "Which one are you?, God will send the rain when He is ready. You need to prepare your field to receive it."

 

The point of the parable is that when God has something for you to do, do it with all your heart.   Rather than sitting back, feeling sorry for yourself or idly waiting for God to move, begin making preparations for that movement knowing through faith that God will provide. Take the offensive by lifting your heart in prayer, meditate on His Word, and trust Him to provide.  

 

Prepare your field to receive His rain, it will come!

 

Blessings,

Steve

 

  
Too Busy Not to Pray
Too Busy not to Pray
In Store or On Line

For the past twenty years Too Busy Not to Pray has stood as a classic on prayer, helping Christians all over the world slow down to draw near to God. During those years, the world certainly hasn't slowed down. If anything, the pace, intensity and number of distractions have only increased.

 

Brokenness and pain seem to have increased as well, with news of civil war, poverty, broken families and sex-trafficking touching us daily. The urgent need for prayer is clear, but busyness still keeps many of us from finding time to pray.

 

Two truths haven't changed in twenty years: God is the same powerful, just, holy God he's always been; and true prayer--prayer that changes us and allows us to participate in God's work in the world--can't happen on the fly. So Bill Hybels once again offers us his practical, time-tested ideas on slowing down to pray.  ***IN STORE SPECIAL - $5.99***

In The Circle Maker, Pastor Mark Batterson shares powerful insights from the true legend of Honi the Circle Maker, a believer who prayed miracles would happen to the people of God---and then they fell from the heavens like rain.

Honi and Mark Batterson will help you bring your God-given dreams into being through bold, tenacious prayers that honor God and make the impossible come true.

A young boy suffers a near-death experience in which he claims to have visited heaven in this earnest inspirational drama based on the best-selling book of the same name.

When their young son Colton (Connor Corum) enters the hospital with a life-threatening illness, devastated parents Todd (Academy Award nominee Greg Kinnear) and Sonja Burpo (Kelly Reilly) are uncertain whether he will make it out of the operating room alive. But in what Colton's doctors credit as "a miracle," he survives -- and with an incredible story that seems to confirm the existence of heaven. Later, despite Colton's accurate and intimate revelations about people he has never encountered -- including his sister who died in utero and his late grandfather -- skeptics hastily dismiss any possibility that the young boy's fantastical claims could be true. Meanwhile, his astonished parents seek meaning in the alleged miracle that has turned their once-peaceful lives completely upside down.

Four Lists
of
Spiritual Gifts

This free e-Chart, "Four Lists of Spiritual Gifts" is taken from the pamphlet Spiritual Gifts

  

 

The Spiritual Gifts booklet explains each of the gifts of the Holy Spirit and what they mean. When you became a Christian, the Holy Spirit gave you spiritual gifts to build up fellow believers, both in your own church and worldwide. This pamphlet defines spiritual gifts, and describes the differences between the biblical gifts. The Spiritual Gifts Test helps you identify your spiritual gifts, and explains how to use your gifts to benefit others.

 

Each gift of the Spirit is vital and none is more important than others. No matter what your giftedness is, you play an important role in strengthening the church.

 

Did You Know? 63% of Christians Don't Know Their Spiritual Gifts

A recent Barna study showed that nearly two-thirds of Christians don't know their spiritual gift(s), don't think they have a gift at all, or claim to have a gift that is not actually biblical.

 

Most Christians know something about Spiritual Gifts, but many don't realize how important they are. Believers are given Spiritual Gifts to contribute to the growth of the church. Spiritual Gifts are important because Scripture says that the church needs all of the gifts working together to help build the Body of Christ. Every believer counts! This pamphlet includes a Spiritual Gifts Questionnaire to determine which gift(s) you might have.

 

The Holy Spirit gives spiritual gifts to Christians to help build the life and ministry of the Church. Yet, a large number of Christians do not use or even recognize their spiritual gift. Rose Publishing's Spiritual Gifts pamphlet will help you learn how important Spiritual Gifts are and how to develop the gift(s) the Holy Spirit has given you.

 

Topics in the Spiritual Gifts pamphlet include -

  • A self-test "Spiritual Gifts Questionnaire" to determine which gift or gifts you may have.
  • Description of each gift and how to develop it more as you minister to other believers.
Use for
  • Individual study
  • Discipleship
  • Small Group or Sunday School class
  • Christian School
  • Homeschoolers
  • New Believers' class
  • Church library 

Spiritual Gifts Pamphlet is available in the store or On Line.

Some Parting Fun...                            

A painter was hired to paint the exterior of a church. His practice was to thin the paint so that he could make a larger profit.


As he was painting the church a torrential rain began to fall and it washed all of the paint off.


 Then, as quickly as the rain began, it ended, and the sun came out.


As the painter gazed skyward, he heard a voice from above saying:  

 

" Repaint ! Go, and thin no more."
