Paul Email -31July2013- Mark 16

How you doin? I hope & pray that you are doing well. Well spiritually. I hope & pray that God is pulling you closer & closer & close to Him. He is REALLY AWESOME!!!!!!!! I need to give a shout out & praise to Stacey. She's willing & able to rely on Kingdom resources and the King. Thank you Lord for her. I truly believe that you gave her to me. DIG IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stacey put her 4 week notice in at her job yesterday. Rubber meets road. We are answering God's call. Please pray that Stacey's faith continues to be up lifting to me. After a day of falling victim to fear through my job, Stacey's faith in God pulled me out of a tremendously overwhelming feeling of pressure and feeling of failure. I truly believe that we are only driven by 2 things... love and fear. Fear got the better of me yesterday in an embarrassing way. I'm surprised at my ability to listen to lies and to be influenced by things not of God. Stacey reminded me this morning that we have received a very clear word from God. If I fail at my job and lose it... God will take care of us. Faith is currency in the Kingdom and I need to buy myself the ability to pay attention. OH SNAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mark 16 today.

¹⁵ He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. ¹⁶ Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. ¹⁷ And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; ¹⁸ they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”
¹⁹ After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God. ²⁰ Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it. (Mark 16:15-20)
After withstanding an extraordinary attack of fear, God comes through. Like He does every time. I think the words, "believe and baptized", are loaded words. Believe and baptism (of the Holy Spirit) need to partner together through/with faith. COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!! Verse 18, speaks of God's protection as we go. More then timely today. Verse 20, brings on the, "Sonny". "And the Lord worked with them", AWESOME!!!!!!! His Presence is priceless. Jesus confirms His word to me regularly, sadly enough, through deliverance. Whatever works. I feel incredibly refreshed and loved by my Father in Heaven. DIG IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please be praying for Mitch and his family as they go through their sons funeral today. It's from 2pm to 5pm. Pray for Spike as he was willing to do the service at the last minute. God we just pray for you to show up there today and blow that place up. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Use your faith to buy yourself some ability to pay attention today... pay attention to Jesus. OH SNAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
