Little Is Much When God Is In It
Luke 18 verse 16: "But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: For of such is the Kingdom of God."
One Saturday afternoon, I was having a spiritual struggle with the enemy. He said, "If God really called you to preach, you would be preaching in a church tomorrow morning. Look at you, you are a sorry excuse for a preacher. God did not call you to preach." I used one of my weapons to resist the enemy. I went to the Lord Jesus in prayer and prayed, "Lord, you know what the enemy just said. I believe you called me to preach and I'm asking you to open a door of opportunity for me to preach in the morning." As I prayed, I felt the strong presence of the Holy Ghost, so I knew this prayer was in accordance with God's will.
Saturday night passed without an invitation to preach. Sunday morning, I woke up early in anticipation of the Lord's command to go bring the Word. About 9:30 AM, the phone rang. It was my sister, Joanne. Her young son was in the hospital, and he asked her to call me to come have church with him. Here was my open door! I went on over to the hospital, and when I entered his room, he thanked me for coming. I asked him if he wanted to have a Sunday school lesson. He said, "No, I want you to preach a sermon." So there in that hospital room, my nephew, my sister and I had a special meeting with the Lord. The Lord had answered my prayer and confirmed my call to preach. Later, I had the special mission of leading my nephew to the new birth in Jesus (under my carport is where the Lord saved him).
Romans 10 verse 15 "And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things."
