From "Revival Hymm"

"You're sitting behind the wheel and you're saying to God 'Give me power so I can go'. "No, it'll never do. You got to get in the back seat."

And I could see him leaning over and grabbing the wheel...

"No," I said. "It'll never do in the back seat." I said "Before God will do anything for you, you know what you gotta do?" And he said, "What?" I said, "You gotta get out of the car, take the keys around, open up the trunk lid hand the keys to the Lord Jesus, get inside the trunk, slam the lid down, whisper through the keyhole, 'Lord, look, fill her up with anything You want and You drive, its up to You from now on."

(-Paris Reidhead "Ten shekels and a shirt.")

Amen.

Thought you'd like that brother. How goes the battle?! Spend the night here if you can. Friday. I got those books in from amazon and alpha omega ministries. Aomin gave me the wrong debate, "can men become gods?" DvD with some mormon named Martin Tanner. I wanted the "who controls salvation debate" but oh well. I'm glad the last blog was an encouragement. Praise the Lord. Talk to you soon, your bud. J.
