In an e-mail dated January 19th, 2009 from Pastor Jim to Miranda:
Spontaneous prayer broke out between Carolyn and I in the truck tonight, as we joined hands and began to intercede for you, us and others.
We agreed that god is ging to give us all a breakthrough. Matter of fact, agree with us tonight for your children, yourself, and us and this ministry that God will give us a breakthrough. We are hungry to do God's will.
I was earning 100K at 30 and almost lost family and my soul.
Years later I told the Lord that I would never allow things to come between me and him and my family whoare so precious. Our famiies are all we have and the Lord.
As a matter of testimony with no self pity, I was separated from my family this past year in November. When I came out wth my testimony of abuse we had over 50 hits that night on my web site.
But I got letters from my side of the family casting us out, separating us from family, telling us we were dead to them and the same as a dog to them. We wee devastated. We knew we were in God's will but we didn't expect to get such a fight.
We learned that when you walk into Satan's grounds expect a fight. We keep our guards up now and we are vigilant and more determined than ever before to obey God and help wherever we can.
We financed this ministry out of pocket for so long now that we don't have it... however it seems like God meets the needs anyhow when the needs are there.
Two years ago I suffered an injury that set us back and eliminated $800 a week of our income and we kept on. Why? Becasue I believe in this ministry and the masses who need it. People do not need us. They need God and we want to be an instrument throug which God touches lives.
Do You have that same hunger? Do You go to bed at night with a hunger and don't what it is? It is God calling. It is wanting to do something for God, but not knowing what to do.
You awake, and go through the motions everyday. You seek happiness. You are happy yet you are hungry for something. You want someting and that something is purpose. I cannot do anything witout purpose but I can scale a mountain and run over troops when I have purpose. Nothing fuels determination like purpse.
When you are experiecing trials with family, or children, or job, or freinds, purpose fuels the dreams to make decisions, Miranda you have a gift. It is a gift of administration and it is in the bible. 1 Corinthians 12:28.
It is a gift of getting things done. Being able to discern, lead, and place an individual within their abilities.
Our prayer tonight for you is that God enrich you, enable you, fill your hungry heart, and give you a breakthrough in many, many ways.
In Jesus name. Amen.
Jim
** I must say that tonight I am posting this because God has given me the drive to lead and I have assisted in developing this ministry and today we have served over 7 cases in the last week alone. It feels great! God has enriched my life! I am giving him the Glory tonight and I am thanking Pastor Jim for giving me the courage to pursue my purpose through God **
