Yesterday while in my prayer closet I took that "Judge not " verse to my prayer closet and ask God to reveal to me "The Beam in my own eye." He did.
It was disobedience in eatting, disobedience in not controlling my mouth and harboring bad feelings. So I set of yesterday with the purpose of mastering these three monsters in my life.

Yesterday in another post Katrina said something that God had already spoken to me about 10 times yet it went right over my head. So, { Now it's early LOL 3:35 to be excact } the Lord awakend me and spoke to my inner man . I pictured myself taking an exam .Those 3 items were on that exam. They were my impossible strongholds..that in my best state can not overcome. The Lord brought back to my remembrance of the story of how the Hebrews simply marched around the walls of Jericho shouting and praising God and the strong walls came down. and like Paul and Silas began singing hymns and their chains were busted in half ...like the 3 Hebrew children in the fiery furnace and they worshipped God and the fire could not touch them..I've also talked some in the past of one of my favorite missionaires{ Mark Buntain} who built a 3 story hospital in Calcutta India..what I forgot to mention..was that he literally worshipped and praised God all day long. I think you are all getting the picture..The Lord has told me to get my eyes off the 3 strongholds and do as Katrina reminded me { Mudheads Wife } and praise HIM all day today..and everyday...thanking and worshipping Him with my stringed instrument..at school in my heart..and at "The gate" . I'm ready to give up ...and look toward the hills from whence cometh my help and magnify the Lord all day and everyday. I'm sensing His deliverence right now as I type this ..Let's praise Him beloved, you blessed children of God..We are the apple of His eye. he loves us and is THE Author and THE Finisher of our faith...

Praise be to God who causes us to be more than conquerors and victors,
In Jesus name,
Brother Chuck

WE have a sunday school teacher that has prostrate cancer. He announced it in class. And said praise God for my cancer.he went thru treatment never complaining,Always happy when you seen him anywhere. He really turned that cancer center upside down.When ever the doctors ask him how it kept such a positive attitude he gave them the Gospel.Can you imagine him sitting in a waiting room full of terminal patients ? And saying Praise God for my cancer.He had the greatest sunday school class right in that hospital.

Thanks for sharing that powerful testimony Cardeer.

I also forgot to tell ya allabout Mark Buntain..before my missinary friend became a CONSTANT worshipper ..he had lost his mind...He had thought hiw missionary work in India was in vain.He got his life back when he proclaims " I got nuts over Jesus." My friends..I kid you not..you have to interupt his praying and worshipping to speak with him..He literally prays without ceasing.Shortly afterwards at an airport some fellow Christians said, Mark, what do we do now.." for KGB had surrounded them with guns..He raised his hands and saud, "We praise the Lord."

and all the men were realeased without incident..

Mark visited a pastor in VA in the 1970s..Three times my pastor had gotten up in the middke of the night to use the bathroom .The pastor said, "All three times I saw Mark laying prostrate on the floor weepiing for the souls in India," He was invited to come to SOutheastern in 1983...it took no time fo rme to pick him out.He wore a Goodwill Suit..and was kising his Bible and praising God without stopping. He had no message..just testimonies and worship.SChool shut down academically as we prayed and worshipped around the altar..I sat beside Mark and ask him.."How do I get that in my life.?" He paused...and said" I want to tell ya..that it's not by might ..nor by power but by my Spirit saith the Lord." and then he went off to praying in the Spirit ..in where he seemedto live.

Mark has left us to be with the Lord..but I found a clip of him promoting his missinary work..Here's Mark..
