I don't exactly know what that is but the verse in the 23rd psalm. "he leads me besides still waters" always leads me besides still waters in my minds eyes. I get manupulated and sworn at a lot at work.Not so much because the guys are mad at me. they are just mad cause they can't get high.
But this need for the secfret place is something theres been a lot of conviction on lately.
What is that secret place for you and how do you get there?
Blessings,
David

Howdy brothers and Sisters;
I've been reading the cross and the switchbleade, which is an awsome book I might add. I'm currently a little over half way through the book. I had read it before around the time that Neil Armstrong was walking around on the moon. I thought it was a pretty cool book then. I felt the tug on my heart. But I chose Sex Drugs and Rock and Roll, and then I ordered more of the same. his time I have a new heart.
I've been clean from dope for a little over 19 years. It's been a little a year since I smoked a cigarette. And I desparately want to know God better. Being as this book was written in the early 60s there are a few things that slap me in the face.
one of them is that there was probably a time when addiction was thought of as an Urban problem. (that time is long past). and another thing comes from an even cooler book.
- 13:8
- Yeshua the Messiah is the same yesterday, today and forever.
Hebrews 13:8 CJB This is good news cause Yeshua can change a Junkies life today the same way he could in Nicky Cruz' time.
Blessings,
David

Good afternoon 2 all;
Many years ago I tried to help out a friend who stayed in my extra room (actually he slept on my couch most of the time). He stayed at my house for about a year as I sponsored him in AA during that time. He did OK for about 18 months.
He had a daughter who was 8 at the time. She used to spend weekends at my house. She was and is an awesome little girl. Unfortunately she lost her Daddy a little over 5 years ago. He fell off the wagon 5+ years ago, and was killed in an auto accident.
Her mom has more than a few issues her self, but is currently doing a good job at recovery. But Hannah had a special friend who was a mormon lady. This lady had taken her under her wing as it were. Unfortunately this lady passed away last weekend.
She was a Mormon Lady who had cancer. She was an elderly lady. I had been praying for her as I knew she was loosing this battle. I didn't really know her and really didn't have a chance to see her during this time. I guess the church folks kept an eye on her.
Personally I don't know what's up with the Mormons. I don't know if they are saved or not. At the risk of sounding closed minded I had been praying for this lady. and as always I pray for Hannah. I ask that you all with my church family will do the same.
Personally I think of Hannah as at least a niece. I can't believe that this little 8 year old lady is going to be a Junior this year. My how time flies.
I'm sure Yeshua has a calling for this young lady.
Blessings,
David

I was hoping to find this little Greek transliteration in some sort of an officially dictionary, but have been unable to do so. Yet. I guess this little Greek word in the new testament. can be translated as Saved, Healed, or Delivered.
I don't know about y'all but when this Dork (I didn't know that I was a Dork at the time I thought I was pretty Cool. In fact the more loaded I got the cooler I thought I was). In fact the Enemy had me all messed up. In fact I needed to get Crossed up.
Having been raised by the TV from childhood. and basically looking for something to help me avoid the Lord. I really set myself up for anyone offering something to make me feel good. The Lord never offered to make me feel good on command. He offers Life and life more abundantly regardless of how I feel.
According to David Wilkerson's Grandpa in the book "The Cross an the Switchblade" "the heart of the Gospel is Change". For me that seems to line up pretty well with Sozo.
Delivered from selfish old me. ready to be a brand new Dork. from "Can't get no satisfaction", to being happy at the feet of our savior.
Radically Sozo'd
Blessings,
David
