2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

2 Chronicles 12:7 And when the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came...

EXCELLENT scripture references, Debra.

Amen. Thank you for sharing Pastor Bill! I am one of "His people" and proud to be "called by His name". With's God's help I will humbly concede to the authority of God, pray that revival comes to me, seek God's will for my life and abstain from the temptations around me.

Pastor,

This truly moved me...enough that I have returned an email to you to let you know so...and enough that I have forwarded that same message back to myself so that I can view it daily and remember to remember the Revival in my prayer time.

Thank you for caring so much about your flock to encourage us...NO! Scratch that...to URGE us to pray as God has not only pleaded of us...but begged us to do because of His desire for true relationship with each and every one of us.

Blessings to you,

Steve

Thank you Deba. It was a blessing meeting you and your lovely family. By the way - the man who helped us was Ray Griffin. Blessings! Bill.

Sunday September 4, 2011 will forever be remembered by my family and I in the United States of America haven just arrived in June. We were on our way to our Church meeting at Blacklick Park, Reynoldsburg,Columbus, Ohio when our car broke down and I had to make it to the Hillview Church park lot. The first person that approached us wanting to know if we needed help was Pastor Bill Hayes. He helped to jump start the Honda Odyssey which responded a while but went off. Several members of the Church came to see what they could do while Pastor Bill called a Technician to come over and assist. We discovered that the Honda 1999 model Alternator was bad and needed a replacement. I gave a call to a brother in our own Church who came to pick me and another brother came to pick my family while we went to get a new Alternator. Unfortunately, when we came back, the Technician had left for home and a call put through to him went into his Voice Mail. I had already dispatched the brother that brought me as he needed to drop his family at home off Cleveland Avenue before going to work. I do not have a have phone yet. As I was wondering what to do next, Pastor Bill came by and wanted to know how far with my arrangement. He also put a call to the Technician who could not be reached. He left promising to get to the Technician through the parents. Pastor Bill came about 10minutes later changing into casual wears and announcing his clothes were wet because the Church just had a baptism that aftenoon. He told me we would have to fix the Alternator ourselves. He was with another young man, Brian (hope I got the name right). We started work on the removal of the Altenator and replacing it with the new one. It was already raining. In it we completed the work on the car, jumped start it and alas, it was on and alife again. The rain was becoming heavy. Pastor Bill said, 'Go into the car, and go and collect your money from Autozone for the recycling of the Alternator.' Where I come from, Lagos, Nigeria you don't fix your car yourself that way, especially replacing a Alternator. The mechanics fix it for you and you pay real big for it. So for me, it is a very big and an overwhelming deal doing it with Pastor Bill. To imagine a Pastor of a large Church, a parent and a grand parent, going to such a length to help is very humbling. He was an angel sent to us by God. I actually drove from Wallcrest, Off Cleveland Avenue to Reynoldsburg, a distance of over 30minutes. We are just three months in Columbus and missed our way with over six miles when we had the problem with the car. Everything that happened God knew and he used Pastor Bill to strenghten our own faith in is LOVE and we have resolved to be more giving and sacrificial, to the glory of His name.

Hmmm...more organized prayer is one of my goals (resolutions -- I hate that word) for the year. I know it will help me to jot it down. I heard somebody say along time ago...why do we ask each other "how are you doing" when we're really just saying it in passing and don't care about the answer. Those words stung coming out of my mouth for a long time...I stopped just asking it in passing. I hope the same thing happens when I say I'll pray for you. One of the ohter things I've been thinking about in my goals of organized prayer is to let people know I've been praying for them. I know how much it uplifts me when I know that people are praying for me...it's empowering!

My prayer life is far from good, but when someone asks me to pray for them, I will pray right then. If not, sadly, other things can come up, and it wont get done.

So true! It brings to mind when someone may say "God Bless" not sure if it is sincere or not but one hopes it means as much to person saying it as it is to the person receiving and vise versa.

I've been doing several funerals for the Chapel Creek Fellowship as one of the elders of the Church....not sure when that happened. But none the less I appreciate your words. Freda and I love you all. God bless and use you in a mighty way!

Your posts make me wish I had a bike. If I did I could ride over to Krsipy Kreme and get a donut. Guess I'll have to get in shape some other way.
