This is the knight life
Wow, and what a life it is becoming, this thing I call the knight life. I had always know that Jesus came to give us life, but I am coming now to know that I hardly understand just exactly what that is. I do know this though, it is good!
The other day I was reading a forum, and someone asked the question whether there was ever any breakthrough or if this Christian life was just always battle and hardship. While I do believe that until Jesus returns, there will always be battle; I also know that there are incredible times of breakthrough and victory. I thank God for those times when he brings these, when he gives us a glimpse of all that he has for us. I have felt so much of that these last months, as he has begun to unfold this ministry before my eyes. Yes, the warfare has been bloody, the fighting fierce, but his presence has also been equally close. I am coming increasingly to believe that it is only here, where we need to rely on him, that we find that life that he offers.
Welcome to my blog! Looking forward to living the knight life with you.

There is nothing more blessed than to find God's will and live there. Congratulations! I recently had a vision that is a repeat from over 35 yrs. agoe. I find this wonderful, frightening, and interesting all at the same time. Since I retired I have offered Him my life to do with as he wishes and I am trying not to hold anything back. He blessed me by allowing me to speack His word for three months at one facility. He used this to awaken a retired minister and stand him once again in the pulpit WOW. Although I was thrilled to see the re-awakening of this child of His I confess it left me a little lonely and empty. This only lasted for about a week when I was invited to another facility. One there had told the director about me. I have laughed, cried, and loved them and been loved and blessed within an inch of my life. I was then asked to lead a prayer service at mu church. I am sad to say our numbers are small but those who attend come to pray and boy do they pray. I love to be at the disposal of my father and understand the effort to overcome my sin nature and remain usable. This vision He has given me originally was to minister young people. This time He showed me that it was equally suitable for any age. In it I see a wooded area with pathes going through it. There are benches to stop, rest, meditate, and sometimes read. It is quiet to allow one to "be still and know I am God." There is a instruction booth provided before one starts the walk. At the booth there are items of worship however the most interesting item is various colored arm bands. Each color tells about the individual who is to take this walk of meditation. They might be lonely and needing to talk, they might be hurting from a situation and need someone to pray with them, or they might need solitude from interuptions. The requests indicated by the arm bands would be honored allways. I know this might appear odd but yet how often has God spoken to us when we are in the recieving mode instead of the transmitting mode. I do not yet know what part I am to play in this if any. He will tell me in his own perfect time. This one thing I do know. Since I told Him I am his to use as He wishes, He has taught me to love, even the folks who are tough to love, in a depth that in no way represents the sinner that I am. I will pray that God shows you the way and leads you through the things He has for your life. Pray for me, that I might have the courage to do that which pleases my Master and that I would allways follow instead if lead. Shalom Glenn
