Praise Report

[Blake]

For the last 3 weeks I have been slipping really badly, behaving badly, fulfilling the whole definition of "backslider." I had given up the good fight for a period and kept making excuses about going to church, and it really showed. After a heart to heart with my wife (thank God for her), I went to church tonight. Sparing the details, I have been totally revived. Things were really bad for about a month there, but right now all is well, my oil lamp is refilled and the wick is trimmed... I had a Holy Spirit visitation and He revived me again.

Amen brother! I happened to notice the scripture in your signature. That is my favorite verse. When I was about 10 years old I went somewhere with my dad to hear Steve Largent give his Christian testimony. He was a pro football player. I got a big poster of him with his autograph and 2 Chronicles 16:9 on it. All throughout my teenage years and early 20's I had that poster on the wall in my room and saw that verse almost everyday. The thing is, is that during years I rarely considered my heart to be fully committed to Him, yet there was the scripture that I needed right in front of me the whole time.

Thank you guys. All glory to God. I am just very thankful to have a Spirit-filled pastor who knows how to stir the waters. I am blessed to have found my church. The presence of the Lord was all over me as soon as I walked through the door. A good 25 people were convicted and ran to the altar and were revived. God is faithful!

That liar, the devil, had me feeling so low, like I should be too ashamed to go to church. I actually sat in the parking lot for 10 minutes picking at my fingernails feeling nervous, but I sucked it up and went on in there. Everyone received me. I was expecting head shakes and finger points lol.

jeff77 I only recently discovered this verse, but it has been running all over me so to speak. Once in awhile you'll read a verse and it'll just speak directly to your heart. Isn't it awesome?

Give your wife a hug for me. This place is better with you here.
