In todays world with the way things are going it is easy to get discourage, you lost your job, you get pregnant, you get an STD, you get thrown out of your house, you get divorce, you just found out your spouse is cheating on you or you just lost HOPE. 

 

Don't let any of this get you down or cause you to look to any direction but up, God uses these times to get our attention and when sent the right direction you can find that PEACE and HOPE your looking for. 

We all have had bad days and we all continue to have bad days but the one that learns to trust God is the one that has HOPE. 

 

Let me tell you a our story how God caught my attention:  

 

A long time ago my wife were pregnant with our first daughter and we where so happy the nine months went by quickly with no issues during the pregnancy, my wife was very happy as she had heard from other moms that pregnancy and labor is harsh. 

Our doctor went on vacation but promised he will not miss the delivery, okay, so what happens while he is on vacation my wife went into labor so off to the hospital we go.  We get to the hospital and all is going well then my wife went to the labor ward and laid in the bed that she would be giving birth in.

 

Well they hooked my wife and baby up to all kinds of wires and gadgets and I thought ok technology we are all set, we were warned about all this since we did take the Birthing Classes to be ready but they also taught some of the old ways too. 

So we are talking all during her labor 12 hours of back labor, then at about 1am the monitors started to act funny the babies heart rate would go way up then way down way up over 230 then way down to 0, I called the nurse she said it was only the monitor so she hooked the baby to another one but still the same thing, then I noticed a secretion that they said is a sign the baby is in trouble, I again called the nurse again and she said its nothing.  Well to make a longer story to long we lost our first daughter and I became really really mad at God and I wanted to know what kind of God would do this to me although I was not a Christian but I was a lot like many blaming God. 

 

My wife told me that God spoke to her and said it will be alright and I became more angry I cursed God raised my hand to Him and said I want to get to know what kind of a God that claims to love would do this to anyone, so off to my search. 

 

I shopped around in all sorts of religious sects, then I finally asked my dad since he was a high priest in the Rosacrucian Order, I asked my dad how do I get into this order,  so he had me sign up and off to my studies and in my studies they taught you of  the 7 plains of existance and on the 7th plain is where God was so I worked and studied hard to get to the point where I can get to the 7th plain to meet God. 

 

So I learned and within months I was ready to plunge into what I now know is called Astral Flight which is out of body, so off I went, while I was in meditation my body was vibrating like it suppose to do then all of a sudden I heard a voice say "Stop its the wrong way to me" and I got up lights out asking who that was, is it my wife no and then I thought maybe I heard something, so off I went again and then the next time as I began vibrating again I heard again a voice "Wayne Stop Its The Wrong Way To Me" then I got up and said Lord if that is you show me the right way. 

 

A couple months later I was working in a factory as supervisor and one of my workers came in with a Bible in hand and I looked at him and the Bible and said to him "You have something to tell me right?" and he said "If its about God and Jesus Christ I sure do" I replied lunch time I want to hear".  This is when I recieved Jesus as my Savior and got to know God.  

 

We were going to church for a not to long of a time and God Blessed us with a beautiful little girl after my wife and I joined up with a ministry called Open Door Ministries in New Jersey U.S.A where we prayed over her since our first daughter 3 years earlier we lost and since my wife and I tried to get pregnant again and could not so we all laid hands on her for a physical or mental healing and no one knew what she was prayng for but later on one of the girls that prayed with us told my wife you are praying to get pregnant are you not and of course we said yes and then she said God spoke to me and said that you were and that the next time that we would have relations she would get pregnant well that week she did get pregnant.  So we called her Michelle, we would have called her Micheal but for a girl it would have to be Michelle. 

 

Then one day I was praying and God asked me "If I was to make one wish to come true for you what would it be?. I thought and thought and then seriously thought to have our first child Heidi back, and God asked me are you sure?, then I had to think and then it hit me if I would do this then I may not be a Christian today and a Pastor, so I had to look up and say Lord Your Grace is sufficient for me.

 

So you see God is not a respector of persons, which means He does not care what it takes to get your attention but He will, but you have to be listening for His tiny voice speaking to you and calling out your name saying Stop it is the wrong way to ME.

 

I hope this brings encouragement to someone today and if it does please write us by way of the Contact Us Page and tell us how it helped you and how we can pray for you.

 

May God bring you to a place where you can hear His voice and may He bless your heart today

 

Pastor Wayne
