Little Is Much When God Is In It
Luke 18 verse 16: "But Jesus called them unto him, and said,
Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: For
of such is the Kingdom of God."
One Saturday afternoon, I was having a spiritual struggle with
the enemy. He said, "If God really called you to preach, you
would be preaching in a church tomorrow morning. Look at you,
you are a sorry excuse for a preacher. God did not call you to
preach." I used one of my weapons to resist the enemy. I went to
the Lord Jesus in prayer and prayed, "Lord, you know what the
enemy just said. I believe you called me to preach and I'm
asking you to open a door of opportunity for me to preach in the
morning." As I prayed, I felt the strong presence of the Holy
Ghost, so I knew this prayer was in accordance with God's will.
Saturday night passed without an invitation to preach. Sunday
morning, I woke up early in anticipation of the Lord's command
to go bring the Word. About 9:30 AM, the phone rang. It was my
sister, Joanne. Her young son was in the hospital, and he asked
her to call me to come have church with him. Here was my open
door! I went on over to the hospital, and when I entered his
room, he thanked me for coming. I asked him if he wanted to have
a Sunday school lesson. He said, "No, I want you to preach a
sermon." So there in that hospital room, my nephew, my sister
and I had a special meeting with the Lord. The Lord had answered
my prayer and confirmed my call to preach. Later, I had the
special mission of leading my nephew to the new birth in Jesus
(under my carport is where the Lord saved him).
Romans 10 verse 15 "And how shall they preach, except they be
sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that
preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good
things."
