Last week the Lord brought me to a place of repentance for trying to create my own opportunities to support my family. The Lord showed me that I didn’t trust Him, that I was choosing to work in my own strength and not His provisions. So I repented and decided to “be still” and allow God to bring forth His provisions.

Today, the Lord began to blow my socks off. I was asked if I would be open to someone providing a home for my family…and wouldn’t you know it, the home is right where we have felt we should be all along, but beyond our wildest dreams in the sheer awesomeness of the thought.

If that in itself was not enough, the next question was would I help develop a business for a friend of mine? This friend has been a great encouragement to me in my ministry since I arrived in Corpus Christi and he feels this would be a mutually beneficial opportunity to further the work of God’s kingdom.

If that wasn’t enough, I was also approached about using a worship facility in Annaville free of charge any time except Sunday AM. So I believe God is showing me I need to work on developing a second plant in that area simultaneously with the first plant in Central Corpus.

The Lord also spoke another 2 things to me today through others that were very powerful and penetrated the depths of my soul. I have heard several mention over the past few weeks that they have sensed a turning of the spiritual tide in Corpus Christi over the summer. Today one of those praying with me indicated that he firmly believes my week in silence and mourning in the middle of June broke a spiritual stronghold over the city. The second thing that was said is that he believes God wants me to again retreat with the Lord in silence as I enter into this new journey. I have felt the same prompting, so I will use one of these weeks of vacation to take another retreat of silence.
