Gifts and Talents

         Approximately 25 years ago a prophet, Dale Gentry, told me that I was going to put up billboards in the nations of the world. Of course, I did not know what he was talking about. In January of 2022, a missionary friend of mine, Jerry Vaughn, called me and told me to start writing. I had never written anything In my life, but I started writing that very same day. I cannot take any credit for what I have done to date. Everything I have written has come from the Lord. He gives me the ideas and I start writing.

      Last week I was wondering what I was going to write the next week. When I started writing I had asked the Lord to give me two ideas each week. I don’t like pressure. He has given me my request. At this point, I am writing this in August 2022. I am one year ahead of myself. Last week I was thinking about what I was going to write about the next week. I had used everything that I could imagine. Well, this week the Lord gave me 6 things to write about. He wanted me to know that everything is coming from Him and not me.

      God said to write His answer on a billboard and make it plain. Well here goes. There is no way to heaven or to the Father except through Jesus. Jesus is our Savior. He is our advocate to the Father. There is no other way to heaven. Jesus died in our place so that we can live forever with Him. Jesus is Lord.

      We submit our will to His will. But we have our own plans in life; things we want to accomplish, and do. We don’t like to submit ourselves to anything, except what we want to do. But we never lose when we submit ourselves to the Lord. Anything we give to the Lord, He gives back to us and not just a little. He gives it back multiplied many times over. Our God never adds to us, He multiples the things we give to Him. We will never lose when we give to Him all that we have.
