It is the moments after God shows you a job He has called you to do in which you can either say no or yes you don't always realize either one will be life changing. In the no your life will be changed but you will never know it because everything will remain the same. It is the life of disobedience. Where your life is changed and off course though nothing looks different but it is radically different than if you would have said yes. In the yes your life will radically be changed either instantly or gradually and you will be able to see it. But in the moment you choose to say yes (And we high recommend saying yes every time to God) you don't know the impact you will have with the direction He is taking you.
It has been our philosophy to seek God, ask Him what He wants and do it. We don't like to lean to the idea I will go this way and ask God to bless it. That doesn't fly or sit well with us. We have come to realize that God has a plan for everyone. "For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Good works prepared in advance for us to do. He already has a plan and a good one at that. It's time to ask Him what that plan is.
So one day as I was spending time with the Lord He showed me a vision of a huge grocery give away. With lots of people lined up around the block. They would each get a tour guide to help them along to receive the groceries. After they were done with the groceries the tour guide would take them to the prayer tent and ask if they would liked to be prayed for. If no they could go along their merry way. If yes then they would hand them over to a person on the prayer team who were ready and willing to pray.
It was an exciting vision one in which I had no problems saying yes to. That was in December of 2012. After months of transition (leaving our church, starting our own church, seeking God for every step) we finally opened the gates on May 3rd of 2013 and have never looked back.
H.e.l.p. Ministries was born out of God calling my husband and I as pastors. To start a church that would reach the unchurched, lost, broken, forgotten. Did we know all this at the time, no! We just knew God said leave and start our own church. There was nothing wrong with the church we were going to at the time. We loved our pastor and church. I could have stayed there forever. Being fed the word of God by amazing Bishop. A church family that knew how to rock the House of God with off the chain worship. I could go on and on but when God says move YOU KNOW YOU BETTER MOVE.
Every Friday we give out groceries to any and everyone who comes. Every Wednesday we serve a dinner followed by Bible Study.
This blog is to share stories of God moving in peoples lives. We have seen miracles and the move of God like never before.
We hope this blog encourages you.
Sincerely,
Dess
