EI have found myself many times without a church "home" since I became born again..Just when I found my church home, Covenant, I had to go overseas, to a country where I didn't speak the language. I tried going to church there, but didn't get much out of it. I found that the best way for me to have an intentional walk with Jesus was to decide for Him to be the very first and the very last person I engage in dialogue with everyday. I also engage in dialogue with Jesus all during the day. And I can testify that Jesus has never failed to show up right on time, every time, to deliver me, impart wisdom to me, even as I was about to lose faith altogether. Once, Jesus delivered me in literally five steps (I was lost in that foreign country). I believe it is all about Jesus teaching me to trust Him and keep on trusting Him. Jesus is a man of action. He has shown me over and over again that my trust in Him is well-placed. Now, when I am challenged, confused and wondering what it all means, I endeavor to say in my mind with each step I take, "I trust you God. I trust you God. I trust you God." Donine

Thank you so much for this article. I was so encouraged and reminded that the little mustard seed of faith if all I need for God to move mightly in my prayers, etc. I have been told before from people and that mean ole voice from the devil that "I don't have enough faith" and that's why my prayers aren't being answered. But when I heard God speak ot me when driving down the road and He specifically said, God see ______" When I did it was like at the right time the person needed it. Or when He hs told me to call __________ and I did it was always when they needed, right on time, God's time. Adn I was able to minister to and pray with the person. And I agree with Rob. Thanks and God bless!

I am quite an introvert and really don't talk to people, ha ha. However, through prayer, I am learning that when I open my mouth to share Christ, I immediately feel this courage take over and sometimes I hear my words and wonder "Is that me talking?" Well, we know that answer right?

Branson,
Great words, thank you, brother.
I would like to issue a challenge to the readers of this article, myself included…
The challenge is to start intentonally looking for opportunities to replace the phrase “I’ll keep you in my prayers” with “Can I pray for you right now?”
Sounds simple, sounds small.. but this shift in our approach is one that's packed with power.
On the flip side, I know that this change to our radar takes both time and courage…
Two things that many of us struggle to manage and maintain.
But let's focus on the victory.
When you take a step of faith to stand in the gap for someone that is hurting, the Holy Spirit will take over when you ask him to!!!
And God's Holy Spirit, our comforter and guide, has an UNLIMITED supply of time and courage!!!
Strength through HIM,
Brother Rob
