Pastor Hurst~ Elder Mullings~ Bishop Nelson

God is good all the time. Saturday we went to a youth service at East Valley. I actually snuck over to the prayer meeting they were having and got to hear Bishop Nelson give an awesome testimony. He told everyone that he had put his house on the market and they were coming up to the last days of their second contract. They had been praying and fasting God would help them sell the house and they had lost some money. For 30 days the entire daycare staff was praying and fasting and it was down to the last day to settle with the lawyer and they got a call the house was made an offer by a guy who was on the fortune 500 list! Bishop Nelson said God showed up at the last minute to bail them out of their delimma. Then I watched the man who used to be my pastor in his broken and humble spirit tell his church that he told his wife, honey we dont need this house it is to much. I just know this is the will of God. He said as he choked up he would be giving back to the house of God to pay off the note on the big church. They did this before when they built the big church and I remember The Nelson's living in their motor home when they gave everything to God and God in return blessed them mightly. They now again they live in their motor home because they want to give back to the work of God. He gave God all the glory and honor and said you will never regret giving to God. You cant out give God he said. I told him after service Bro Nelson I cant believe you guys did that again. I told him God was going to bless them just like he did before. He just smiled and said thank you.
Then our church had Bro Mulling's yesterday. What an honor. I have always loved Elder Mullings and his wonderful wife. The one thing about Elder Mullings over the years I have observed about this great man of God is his humble spirit. I dont think I have met anyone who has more of a humble spirit.
When he talked about his son and all they went through with tears in his eyes and spoke to us about how they did without so they could give it was truly inspiring. I felt so privileged to be able to have Elder Mullings for such a special service. There are so many great men in this gospel. We have one of the best preachers to walk in shoe leather as our pastor. We could have had any great man come and minister to us with all the people the Hurst family knows, but to have someone with a heart as humble as Bro mullings is truly an honor. He has an awesome spirit of giving that shines through in his preaching. I have heard him speak at many different places and I have always walked away so full in my heart and been in such awe of his humble attitude towards people. Quick to give God all the glory and so meek in spirit. I cant say enough good about them. They are truly a blessing to our district. They deserve the praise and recognition.
I realized how this spirit of giving is being dealt with in other churches as well. My husband and I finally found a place in Hollister. It was the first house we looked at and it has 2 bedrooms and a huge backyard and a washer and dryer!! We are thrilled we will be moving closer to the church. God just swung the doors wide open for us. In return I feel like God is expecting more from us. More giving financially to our church. More time, more work, more work, and then more work.
I am excited because only what we do for Christ will last. I have prayed so many prayers for God to have his perfect will in our lives and now I see every opportunity for Him to do just that. Now I can go to the church and pray. That is my greatest desire. We are close so that we can help whoever, whenever they need. We can WIN the city of Hollister ... It takes a huge load off of us to be closer to work for God. Thank you everyone who prayed. I can finally do the old folks ministry again at the rest home. :) I love old people.
Well that song is in my head I want to live the way Jesus wants me to live, I want give, give til theres no more to give I want to love, love til theres just no more love I could never, never out give the Lord.
Praise to King of Kings and Lord of Lords from which all good things come.
