Are you bold in what you pray for? Recently, I’ve become absolutely convinced that God will move Heavens and Earth out of love for us if we just ask. That He can - and will - do anything to show you His love, even change the weather.
Now before you strike me as some kind of radical or crazy person, Jesus himself said “With man this impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26 (NIV)
I just got married on September 18th. It was a Sunday. For three or four days before the wedding, I woke up each day to dark grey overcast skies. I checked the weather each day, hopeful there would somehow be sun for the biggest day of our lives…[click “Read More” below to continue]
How far would you go to show love to someone? When was the last time you got your hands dirty to serve another?
This is another video from our friend Tony the street evangelist. His passion is to take God’s love to strangers on the street here in LA. We are so blessed that he’s decided to share some of his raw street ministry videos with our readers here at WitnessLA.org.
Recently, Tony was on the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica when he met a disabled man named Mike in a wheelchair. What happened next is one of the most radical acts of God’s love we’ve ever seen captured on tape.
Lately I’ve been praying on anything and everything. And God has been faithful to answer each and every time - it’s amazing.
I blogged recently about how God fixed my web programming bug after I prayed, and that experience has inspired me recently to start praying about everything, big or small, and even the little things that I used think were too small or unimportant for God to care about.
Today was another example of that. I’ve been having this problem with my car for months now where this horrible exhaust / burning oil smell has been coming into the passenger cabin through the air vents. It’s been giving me headaches, and my friends have been complaining that they can’t even ride in my car without the windows open. It’s been such a headache (literally and metaphorically) that I’ve even taken my car into two different mechanics. Both times, they basically gave my car a clean bill of health, more or less told me I was crazy or imagining things about any fumes, and then said, oh yeah that’ll be 200 hundred bucks for the diagnostic we ran.
Last night I ordered food for my small group from a nice Korean lady who runs a sandwich shop in Santa Monica. I had told her it was for my church, and when we opened the first container of food tonight, this is what we saw:
It was a total surprise for us, and instantly made our night! There is nothing like the pure, unexpected kindness of strangers to completely brighten your spirits. God truly shows His love to us through His people.
We don’t normally plug like this, but if you were touched by this story, please be a blessing back to Jennifer and her family by stopping by Star Wrap for wraps or Korean food if you’re in Santa Monica for lunch.
