Book of Isaiah - My Personal Devotion

In my personal devotion and Bible study I am studying the book of Isaiah. The deeper I have gotten into this book the more sobering it becomes. The first 3 chapters provide the sad account of Jerusalem's moral and spiritual collapse. I guess what is so sobering is to see so many similar trends taking place all around us. The new issues are really not new at all but God's people have struggled with these things since the days of the Isaiah. I know this is not a fun filled post this morning but my heart is stirred. As I drove through the streets of a city with no apostolic church and prayed for the Lord of the Harvest to anoint us to accomplish His will, I couldn't help but think how much of the harvest is being missed because the laborers can't figure out who they are.

Instead of work be accomplished in the vineyard...there is fighting at the cottage about how the vineyard should kept.

Maybe tomorrow my latte will stir me to joy and excitement, but today this Pastor's heart is heavy with the reality of where so many are headed.

May God help us all!

Happy New Year

Happy New Year 2009 - www.mylesyoung.com

I can hardly believe that it is 2009, but I am kind of glad that 08 is over and done with. I believe that this year is going to be a great year. I had someone ask me "How can you say that? Look around you...." Here is my response. I know that the world has gone crazy (or so it seems). I know that every newspaper and media stream in America is loading us down with negativity. I know that sin is abounding. I know that the sea of life is quite rough right now. I know that these are the facts, but I refuse to "face the facts".... in 2009 I am choosing to "FAITH THE FACTS".

I am saved

I have a wonderful family

I have a great church

I have lovely friends

and MY GOD IS BIGGER THAN ANY STORM THAT I WILL HAVE TO FACE THIS YEAR...

So there....

I am going to put my "faith-specs" on and look for opportunities for Jesus to show off this year. There is no telling what He is going to do .... and I want to be right, smack-dab, in the middle of it.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!

MEXICO UPDATE-THURSDAY after church

Bro Santo receiving the Holy Ghost !

We just got out of church on Thursday night. It was a good service. We had several receive the Holy Ghost tonight. Pray for the service tomorrow night following the baptism class we are teaching tomorrow afternoon.

This afternoon we went to eat lunch at the Pastor's home and when we arrived we met a man named "Santo"(Holy in english). He has been attending the church but has never received the Holy Ghost. We found out that he would not be able to be at church tonight because he had to work. He was very disappointed because he thought he might receive the Holy Ghost at the conference. I told him that God could fill him with His Spirit right now, before he had to leave for work. Dr. Baumeister then asked him if he believed what I told him. He responded "Si, Yo creo"(I believe). We finished eating and stood up and the man began to cry....we laid our hands upon him and suddenly he began to speak with other tongues as the Spirit gave the utterance. Before today he had been given the name "Holy/Santo" but today God made him "Holy/Santo" by moving into his heart.

We still have one more day and night in this revival so please approach the throne of God on our behalf.

"Mi Dios puede hacer todo"!

Sister Luz is an awesome lady. I got to meet her about a month ago. I'm sure as you have found out, they are so hungry for the P.A.S.T.O.R.S Course. She wants me to go teach it to them. Our vision in Phoenix for Delicias is for it to become the training center for Mexico. Out of all the other ministries that we have invested ourselves in, Delicias has been the most faithfull. Pastor Vazquez and I are such Wilsonites like you wouldn't believe. "helping people become" helped me to get a job here in Phoenix jejejeje - thats the Spanish way of hehehe on the net... I used that during my interview as my motto - helping people become.

Has the priest been baptized in Jesus' Name yet? I know that he got the Holy Ghost.
