Small Stones make Big Waves

Sunday May 25th, 2009

It's truly amazing to me how God uses the smallest and humblest of things to radically impact people's lives. Many of us think of David and Goliath, or Moses who frees the people of Israel from Egypt. Yesterday, We went to Church and heard a great message by a man named Jason Mills. I like this guy, he starts of the introduction by saying " Most traveling speakers are great for pastors to get a break but usually they stir the pot a bit with some controversial topic." "So today, I'll be talking about demon possession, " he said sarcastically. On a serious not he had an excellent perspective on the Prodigal Son. He brought up a passage in Ephesians chapter 4 which talks about us being an heir to the throne of God as we are no longer slaves to sin. I've heard the same message four times and every time it gets better for me.

Later, I went over to Johnny's House and we had a barbecue with Christian and someone new named Daniel from the National House of Prayer. It was a feast!! Burgers, Coleslaw, and Baked Beans. Afterwards, we sat around like fat bloated Canadians (1 American). We then headed out to the YMCA to do door to door ministry to people that are in need of the gospel of Christ.

Lastly, we called Corey who has been clean with drugs and alcohol for over 20 days. Praise God!! It was his birthday and we wanted to do something special for him. We didn't know what to do so we kinda played it by ear. Needless to say, the Holy Spirit was telling me that he needed a Birthday Cake. After a while of walking down the street, I couldn't find any place that had what I needed. I started praying that God please let there at least be one place so I can bless Corey. About 5 minutes later, I asked a man at a gas station if he knew where I could find a cake, and he said "oh yeah, about two blocks there's a bakery that specializes in cakes." I couldn't be more overjoyed. I bought, got some candles and sneaked it into the house.

At the end of the night, It was incredible Cory was blown away by the Cake and couldn't believe someone went out for him and got him a cake. It's so awesome how Jesus uses the smallest unbelievable things to demonstrate his love and mercy. I was so happy to just be in the presence of God's work within people's lives.
