I just returned from the country of El Salvador. Joel Feagin and I spent four nights and three days with Pastor Lance Grush. I preached in Pastor Lance’s church and we spent time making preparations for Fellowship Church’s mission trip to El Salvador November 23-29.
Even though much was accomplished, my main purpose in going was in response to the prompting of the Lord in prayer. In February I was praying for all of the mission points we are connected with (The Philippines, India, Pakistan, Africa, and all of Central America). As I prayed for Central America I sensed a strong urging from the Lord to go to El Salvador just to minister to Pastor Lance.
This past week was the fulfillment of that urging from the Lord. And I am so glad that I obeyed. It is the same with you. God desires to speak to you and have you obey. Is it always easy? No way! It is always best? Absolutely!
Every time you read the Bible, you can hear God’s voice. Every time I preach, by the grace of God, you can hear His voice. Every time you pray you can hear His voice. And every time you share with someone else what God has told you to share, you allow them to hear His voice.
What has God said to you recently? Have you fully obeyed? Who is it that God wants you to encourage today? Is His voice silent to you because you have not obeyed His last instruction?
May we all hear AND obey His voice, for in that lies true blessings! By the way, could God be leading you to join me on the mission trip to El Salvador November 23-29? If so, let me know!
Glad to be your pastor,
Jeff Powell
