Prodigal: This is a great walk!
Me: Yes, and we can grow closer to God at the same time!
Prodigal: Of course.
This is from the book This is My Story, This is My Song by Norman Blosat with Elva Blosat
David Pringle invited me to take a walk with him through the meadow path near his home. As we walked, he told me an amazing story. He said that one Sunday afternoon, while reading the Bible and meditating, he heard an audible voice saying. “Go to Poynton.” It was so strong an authority that he went that very afternoon. As he walked through the town he was drawn to an old brick church with a “For Sale” sign on the front lawn. In brief, David later learned that at the very time he heard the audible voice, five women were holding a final prayer meeting in the little red brick church with the “For Sale” sign, asking God to send someone who could help them keep their church open. With contacts made, David volunteered to preach, evangelize and pastor the church. The church soon began to take on new life. It grew in numbers. Several years later the old brick building was torn down, replaced by a modern functional building. Church growth continued. The Poynton Church developed a vital outreach into the community. In a time of seeming defeat, five faithful women prayed and God turned things around!
Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.
John 8:19
