Willing

Greetings!

As you may have gathered, in regards to this blog, this is simply one man's Journey to find a genuine relationship with a righteous, Holy God.  I openly admit, I'm not one without faults,  nor do I confess to have all the answers.  I do trust in the grace of the Lord Jesus to redeem me and trust in the power of the Holy Spirit to be transformed into His image.  I do believe in the authority and truth of God's living word and in conjunction with the Holy Spirit the heart and deeds of sinful man can be changed.

I was saved at the age of 18, in the United States Navy.  It was a wonderful experience and I will never forgot the day my sins were forgiven and I had, by the blood of Jesus, entered into a genuine, intimate relationship with my Father in heaven.  I had a good long drink of living water and my soul was forever changed.  Truly God gave me a heart of flesh for a heart of stone.  I still remember how God radically changed me and I will always be sincerely grateful.  

I served about 3 more years in the Navy, got out and the Lord directed my steps to go to Bible School.   The Lord allowed me to be grounded in His word, understand His Government, and to develop healthy relationships with my brothers and sisters in Christ.  With one of those sisters in Christ, God put us together for love and His purpose.  We were married and in the fall of 2015 we celebrated 25 years! 

It was during those 2 years in School God put a message on my heart and allowed  me to see things about the future.  I can't recall if any of this was what I had asked for, so to be fair maybe I did.   Even so God saves us for a purpose and in this purpose, we will struggle at times in our will even as Jesus did in the Garden before the Crucifixion.  Certainly my life is no different.

In the Navy, I was a mechanic and after Bible School, God sent me back into the mechanical  field to be a witness.   What I was shown in the spirit was for days ahead, so the words in my heart and my life in those things were neatly placed on the shelf. 

About 12 or 13 years ago, due to shoulder injuries, I began trucking to support my family.  To be truthful, I was running those roads somewhat to run from God.

For about two years now God has been speaking to me about what He is wanting me and many others to be doing.  Am I anyone important...Heck no but what we must not do is apologize for our calling in Christ.  Why should we insult the grace of God and the price Jesus paid, as if to say what God did wasn't quite good enough to change and equip a life?? 

So reader, this is one man's Journey to be willing and obedient to God's divine will.  Has God lead you to read this??? Reader, stop running and receive from a good God, a willing heart.  Listen, we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus unto good works.   This whole transformation process began in Him and must finish in Him.  Let us, let the Spirit of God create in us a clean heart and a right Spirit even as David cried out in the Psalms.   Whoever you are reader pray for me and I will be praying for you.  I desire that you would have God's best and allow Him to make your heart willing!

In Christ love, 

Pete
