God is in Control


Last night we had our second installment of our 'Origins and Endings' bible study. Last week we went over some basic beliefs on how things got started here on planet earth and of course the universe. We had a fairly small turnout last week and to be honest I wasn't having much faith we would even have as many as last week, so I only printed out 8 copies of the lesson. Well, God smacked me upside the head for that as we had twice as many this week as last and He also had another big surprise up His sleeve.
We pray every Sunday in our 11am service that God would move people's hearts in Alva and draw them to churches where they will hear His uncompromising word proclaimed with clarity. Our prayers have been answered as two heroin addicts came in off the street last night, confessed their sins, and asked Jesus into their hearts. It was amazing, with lots of prayers and tears flowing and a joy that filled the room. For me (Marc)it was without a doubt the highlight of our whole time here in Scotland. The irony of the whole thing totally blew my socks off as I kept thinking of how the joy we all experienced last night was by far, better than any drug could ever give. God is amazing, and He wants us all to experience His joy which far outweighs anything the world can crank out.
Please keep these two guys in prayer as they will need lots and lots. Pray that they will be completely healed from this addiction and their lives will be completely transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit. And in all your prayers, PRAISE GOD!

God bless,

Marc
