Day 18

Genesis 23-24

Genesis 24:50
⁵⁰ Laban and Bethuel answered, “This is from the LORD; we can say nothing to you one way or the other.

Note to self - If God is doing something; don' try to stop it you will only get run over!  I am constanly hearing about churches who were on fire for God experiencing the reality of this statement!  At Elevation Church in Charlotte, NC a furniture store successfully and legally blocked the church from opening a campus next door.  Everyday Pastor Steven Furtick passed by the build he would claim it for Elevation Church in Jesus name...  In a few short months the furniture store went out of business and not just the store, but the entire chain of stores collapsed...  Elevation got their building...  In 6 short years elevation church has seen over 10,000 salvations and over 3,000 baptisms as of 2010...  They have opened up 4 new campuses in the Charlotte area including the Matthews location... 

We saw the same thing happen at my home church.  Our church was going so fast and we were running into parking issues.  The video store next door was complaing about the parking so our church reserved parking spaces for their comstomers and put up signs for those spaces.  They were still unhappy and we heard about it frequently...  After 2 years of complaining the video store went out of business....  We still have a parking problem though even with the extra spaces.  Every week more first time vistors are coming and getting connected to the body of Christ.  We have seen marriages restored, addictions broken, and lives changed.  As of today over 500 baptisms since Easter 2007... 

Wow!  Does that excite you that no one can stop what God has planned! Go GOD!

Isaiah 14:27
For the LORD Almighty has purposed, and who can stop him? His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?
