💥 Podcast: Moving of God

 

 

(This podcast was previously published on May 23, 2021)

 

Something happened on 5-19-2021 that was very unexpected!

I live in the home of Pam Padgett from our little church group.

 

Pam discovered water coming from her water heater into the basement and she arranged for a plumber to bring her a new water heater and install it that same day.

Plumber noticed my old car sitting in driveway and he said,  "If I ever wanted to sell it, I would be  very interested in buying it."  He has a 12 year old son who is CP (cerebral palsy),  and he needed a bigger car.  At this point he doesn't have a car but they use his plumbing trucks to get around.  It is hard for his son to get into those vehicles so he wanted a car that sits lower to the ground.

After he changed the water heater, he took the car out for a test drive.  The car runs great so I knew there would be no problem.  It is a 1994 Lincoln Town Car ... huge trunk which can easily carry his son's wheelchair.

The car was no burden to us but it had to sit outside all the time and I really wanted the car to have a place in winter, although it managed 2 winters just fine and we never had any problem at all starting car.

While he was test driving the car, I had decided that if he made an offer on the car, I was going to give him the car.

I told Pam to bring him in to see me if he made an offer.

He told Pam he wanted the car and he said "Why don't you take the water heater and then I'll also give you some cash for the car."

Pam said, "You need to see Joan."

He presented the water heater plan to me and I said, "No, I want to give you the car."

He was very shocked!

I said, "We can afford to pay for the water heater.  You just take the car."

I told him we would pay him for the water heater and for him to just take the car for his son.

He just couldn't believe this was happening.  He said no one had ever given him anything before.

He said he would tell his son I had given him the car.

I said, "No ... tell your son God gave him the car.  For I had just asked God what HE wanted me to do about the car."

He said he knew when he got home his son would be outside polishing the car immediately (he can't walk but he has use of hands)

His dad said he thinks the son will be able to drive that car for he has use of his right leg and right hand.  So dad will start teaching him to drive, and when he is little older he should be able to get a driver's licenses even though he can't walk.

(That's going to be one happy kid!)

Dad said they go up in the mountains every week end and he was sure they would take the car up there this week end.

I'm glad for the car!  We had to take car out about every two weeks for a "walk" just to keep up battery and tires.

Last time we went to get food, I noticed the old car which was parked in the driveway and saw  how low to ground it had gotten and I told Pam it was time again to take the car for a walk.  

Pam said we just got car license registration notice a couple of days ago and she hadn't sent in the fee yet.  (only $70)

The plumber said he noticed in the car a book with my name on it and he asked if he could take that book with the car.  (And I had already told Pam to give him "Building your house on the word of God.")  Of course he can have both books.

I wrote out the name of our blog and also told him of Podcasts.

He asked, "Do you do the recordings?"

I said, "Yes" and pointed to the microphone which sits by me.

I had just asked God a few days ago if there was anything I should do with the car.  Insurance is only $100 per year as attached to Pam's insurance.  So there was never any pressure to get rid of the car.

It's just that I hated to have car just sitting there unused.

It's fun for me to think of the car having a good home and getting to go out for rides and even getting to go into mountains.

I had him take my Texas license plates off the car and leave them for me.  They were expired but we had not changed to Colorado (we had current Colorado plates in the car trunk).  

It will be fun for me to think of his son with the car.

The dad is only 48 but he looks a lot younger.

He told me he spent 18 years in the Navy ... broke his neck ... had to retire from Navy ... got a job at Fort Carson Army base ... was making $100,000 a year.  But he never got to see his son or daughter because he got home so late.  So he quit his job and decided to put in his own plumbing business.  He was scared at first but it has worked out well for him.  He said his dad had a plumbing business and he had worked as a plumber since he was 8 years old so he decided to give it a try.

I told him if he and children were ever in neighborhood, come in.

(I could see a few things about the moving of God which I will explain in this Podcast.)

💥 I Corinthians 4 (Reading through the Bible)

 

Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

² Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.

(Faithful to God ... faithful to the heavenly calling.)

³ But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.

⁴ For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but HE that judgeth me is the Lord.

⁵ Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.

⁶ And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.

(Christians are often puffed up thinking their church is right ... thinking they have more godly knowledge than another church ... praising one minister over another minister, failing to see there are different gifts given to the ministers and those are by God's choice.)


⁷ For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?

⁸ Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.

⁹ For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.

¹⁰ We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised.

¹¹ Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;
¹² And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:
¹³ Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.

¹⁴ I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.

¹⁵ For though ye have ten thousand instructers in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.

¹⁶ Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.

¹⁷ For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.

¹⁸ Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.

¹⁹ But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power.

²⁰ For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.

²¹ What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?

💥 Podcast: Mini Podcast THY rod and THY staff they comfort me (Psa. 23:4)

 

 

(This podcast was previously published on May 28, 2021)

 

The shepherd of the sheep has a cane with a hook on one end whereby he can grab stray sheep and pull those sheep back to places of safety.  Otherwise when that sheep wanders off the path, a lion might feast on that sheep.  

I Peter 5:7-9  Casting all your care upon HIM; for HE careth for you.  Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

God's rod and staff that keep us on the highway of God are the Holy Scriptures, the Word from God.  The scriptures are the highway signs showing us the way to go if we drift off the road.

💥 Scriptures:

 

Proverbs 21:22  A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof.

 

 ***

 

Psalm 27:14  Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and HE shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.

 

  ***

Proverbs 11:28  He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.

 

***

 

2 Timothy 2:19  Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are HIS. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

💥 I Corinthians 3 (Reading through the Bible)

 

 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.

² I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.

³ For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?

⁴ For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?

(One says, "I am Methodist."  Another says, "I am Baptist."  Division... carnal.)

⁵ Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?

⁶ I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

⁷ So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

⁸ Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

⁹ For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.

¹⁰ According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.

¹¹ For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ (The Word).

¹² Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;

¹³ Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

¹⁴ If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

¹⁵ If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

¹⁶ Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

¹⁷ If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

¹⁸ Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

¹⁹ For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

²⁰ And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

²¹ Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your's;

²² Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your's;

²³ And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
