You have the choice to change your life by a simple decision. It is fully within your ability to make this choice, and absolutely within God’s power to give you the strength for the sacrifice. Fasting and prayer, if faithfully done, will alter your existence, rock your spiritual world and bring your life on this earth into “God’s” perspective. We know because it is doing that for us. You can’t argue with personal experience; it is fact and it is incredibly exciting.

The scripture says … “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord” (Psalm 37:23). No truer edict could be applied to World Missions Director Dr. Tim Hill than when at the 2012 General Assembly a miracle offering was received to assist World Missions in dissolving the missionaries’ delinquent accounts. That wasn’t the last step taken, but only the first of many, such as Marcelly’s Dream and the Israel Initiative with each gaining momentum.

The apostle Paul closed his first letter to the church at Thessalonica by providing the church with one charge after another. These are meant to be strong closing points that they should not neglect nor forget. Prayer is essential among them so he says, “Pray without Ceasing.” Now it hardly seems possible or plausible that we would be praying always, but the point is, we should always keep prayer at the centerpiece of our life and we should never lose hope in the power of prayer.

He said, “In June, your church will experience a financial breakthrough.” I was filled with expectancy at the news. We were about three years past the 2007-2008 recession, but were still recovering as a church and getting our financial confidence back.

That breakthrough did finally arrive, but not until the fall of that year. What happened? Did I miss the voice of God?
