No Turning Back

I just made my deposit for the Guatemala missions trip scheduled for November 7th to the 14th. I am nervous and I am sure that I will become even more nervous as the day draws nigh. I have to raise over 1000 dollars over the next 3 months or so that only God can provide. This is my first expierience outside the military that I will be experiencing in a foriegn field! The mission is to share the Gospel by evangelism which means standing in front of crowds of people and preaching. This will be different compared to American way. Full of pride and self righteousness. I have preached on the streets of Kansas City and it is more dificult and Satan has domonation and control providing us with access to anything we want to try an satisfy the flesh! Everyone that has been on the foriegn field has stated that the people are so receptive to the Gospel and once they are saved they become hungry for the Word! It brings me back to the day that I was saved on July 14th 2002 and how hungry I was and still am for the sweet truths of God's Word.

Some people I have approached with the Word of God don't understand it and they find the Word to their eyes false fables. That is only because their eyes have a vail over them and they dont understand. The bible is TRUTH from cover to cover beginning to the end and there is not one word in it that is false! The bible says that they are blind. Not physical but spiritually!

(1Co 1:18) For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

(Joh 3:3) Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.


I am going to attempt to journal or blog my daily experiences with God from this point till I return from Guatemala! Wether that is a daily entry or every few days or weekly I do not know.

As a testamony of what is currently happening I have already seen God work since the day I committed myself to this trip back durning the missions conference. Several days after my commitment I recieved a letter from the VA stating that every disabled Vetran would recieve a one time $250 check in the mail. Our deposit was $200.00 Secondly today I should have been doing my military weekend and I would have missed my first meeting for the trip. God fixed that! He set it up so I spent my Friday with the VA Hospital and offset my drill days to Friday and Saturday just so I could attend the meeting today! Tell me thats coincidence? I dont thinks so!

If you are reading this today and you have not recieved Jesus Christ as your personal savior you can have this too! The bible says that without faith is is impossible to please God! It also states that For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. (Eph 2:8-9) You cant get to heaven by works by yourself or any other man you cant get to heaven by baptism going to church or by any ammount of things or money you have or even a communion! There is only ONE way to heaven and that is by REPENTING of your sins turning from them and asking God NOT MAN to forgive you and save you from those sins and ask Jesus to come in to your heart and life!

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, BUT BY ME. (Joh 14:6) That ME is Jesus Christ!
