The Call to Prayer

A call to prayer is what pastor preached last night and I couldnt agree with him more. Tuesday night I went to the church to pray. I am right down the street now so I can go and pray and it is a true blessing to my heart. Tuesday God had put on my heart a call to prayer. With God willing and my family asleep I can go spend time with my Jesus. You dont know how much this means to me. This was the best part of moving to Hollister for me. I can pray at the church. I know we can pray in our homes and I do, but to me there is something so special to be at the church in the presence of God and have Him all to myself. It feels so good and nothing can compare to it. These times with Jesus always provide me with intimate moments that create a closeness I long for. Tuesday night God really had me pray over my own family for our focus. I rebuked every distraction in our life that would sidetrack us and keep us from being closer to God and I felt this burden to plead the blood over our focus. I really felt the Lord so strong as I pleaded the blood over our focus. I thank God for His direction in prayer. When pastor preached last night I could relate to everything he was saying. So many times we go to prayer when we need something from God and all the while God keeps impressing me He longs to just spend time with us and He wants us to know Him and for our prayer life to be a love affair between us and the Lord. He loves us so much and He wants and desires to spend time with us. God wants to be close to us. Imagine being close to the King of Kings. What an honor, what a priveldge. I am telling you if you want to experience the supernatural and know Jesus for who He really is then PRAY.. Get a prayer life. It will bring blessings and joy you could never imagine possible. It is a beautiful thing to spend time with the Savior. I cant wait to spend time with Jesus tonight...

Our friends came with us to church again. They absolutely love it. They love pastor. When I looked over at my friend last night we both started to cry because I remember where God brought us from and I was so thankful we were both in church. I am so amazed at how they dont know anything about pentecost yet they just embrace it. They were clapping and raising their hands and they LOVED the preaching. We have not started a bible study yet. We have just not stoped talking about the Lord. Silvia told me Sam went to a couple of churches like ours with her and after one visit he would never go back. I told Sylvia well maybe he can feel this is the real thing. Sam spoke up and this what he said " You know what Noel I can feel that preachers spirit and its genuine!" He said "He's not just up there saying stuff that doesnt mean anything He is actually saying stuff that matters and that will help you!" I was amazed.. AND get this, he said he missed giving his offering last night and he went and got a tithing envelope and chased somebody down and made sure he gave his offering to God. We never told them or talked to them about giving. I was just so touched by this. It has been wonderful to have friends that are so hungry for God. Sylvia now wants to buy preaching tapes for her mom. It is just an awesome experience we are having. It is a blessing to my family. Please remember them in your prayers the enemy is not giving them up without a fight and they need our prayers.

Well I plan on having an organic garden! I cant wait. Sis Christina is going to help me and Sis Natalie and I are going to learn how and what to do. I am sooooooo excited about this. Prayer life, a garden, friends being saved, does it get any better??? Sure it DOES!!!! :) GOD IS JUST SO PERFECT! IN EVERY WAY!
