Staying Still

There is so much to say and not enough words to describe my feelings.  This month has been a month of blessings, worries, and waiting.  However, in every situation God has been really, really good to me.  He has spoken to me through my wife more than once.  As you guys know ONE for Guate has been working with another ministry (Manna word wide) and has been a blessing for my family and Gods ministry I have been able to meet many people and not just gringos ☺ but Guatemalans as well. I have seen the Glory of God in every situation and the kindness of the teams that come and help the people here in Guatemala.  In Guatemala we are in rainy season so the attendance of the church has been declining drastically, so two Sundays ago I was in the church alone and it was raining so my spirit was troubled because I knew few or no one would show up to church.  So I decide to get onto my knees and pray, by the way I do not do this often, so I started to pray (Father please fill this church with people that will please you. Not with those that just will fill a space in the church.  Bring those that want to know more about you and your wonders. Bring those that will make a change in the community Amen.)  And the rain was getting stronger after a few minutes’ people start showing up and my eyes start to fill up with water so I told the congregation what I did. So I told them that I didn't know why they were in the church, but if they persevered God will do wonders and it may be that they never see them, but their kids will.

God promised Abraham that he will be a father of many nations, but He never said when, and Abraham never saw the promise nor his son Isaac, or Jacob.  I may never see my church fill with people and I may get disappointment again, but God is faithful He was faithful then and He is faithful Now.   One thing I know in the mist of every problem, every doubt He always is there, but sometimes we need to wait and we need to stay still. Other times we need to literally go onto our knees and cry out and He will do and He will listen, that has been my experience this month.  It has not been easy, because once the torment passed I forgot God, but God never forget about me because He is amazing. Do you really know God? Do you really understand the power of God? Do you really preach God? Do you really trust God? My friends, my brothers, it is time to walk in faith, it Is time to let God guide you, it is time to live Christ.
