When I Grow Up......



Hebrews 7:7 (NLT)

7 And without question, the person who has the power to give a blessing is greater than the one who is blessed.

We want these Kinda Blessings.
That Blessing you feel inside when you truly Bless another.

It's Spiritual.  What can Top that??

For me, I'm asking God to keep me on the path that leads 2 Righteousness, The path that brings me to a place in this world where I can be used to Bless others.

Yea I struggle 2 Bless as much as I would like to, at this Moment.

BUT, I am stepping in the right direction( I Think ), trying my BEST to surround myself or stay in contact w/ some of the MOST Go-Gettin'-Soul Winnin'-Jesus Lovin'-God Blessin'-Life Speakin'-Spirit Filled Peoples!!


These kinda people are Blessings all alone by themselves.  They have gave their Life to Follow.  And would lay it down to be w/ JESUS.


I hope 2 be like this when I grow up ;)


I have made some serious decisions for Jesus.....You can say Promises.  So as Joy comes in the Morning, I wake up striving to be a True Apostle.

Why wouldn't we?..............GOD has gave us Promises!! 


If we are to claim His Promises, I would expect Him to claim ours.


When I grow up, I want to be a True Apostle of Christ.

The term Apostle is derived from the New Testament Greek word ἀπόστολος or apostolos, meaning one who is sent forth as a messenger [1][2] and should not be confused with a disciple (who is a follower or a student who learns from a "teacher").[

Her name is Danielle Blevins, and She made my Night.

As I continue on this Adventure of Following Jesus, Striving to be more like him, I realize how much I have changed, and Then I realize some things that Jesus probably does not want me to change.

AND that this is why He calls you and I when and how he does.....Amen?

There are things I was believing I had to rid myself of, and really put a lot of unnecessary pressure on myself, you can probably even say stress....YA, Stress is a fair word.
I am that same guy, except now I am full of that Holy Spirit.  As I embark on the other end My Missionary Journey, which involves in Sharing with different Churches, whatever Small Growth Groups, or Bible Studies I can, I am learning A LOT.

 I am learning that I get nervous and draw blanks real quick when I am speaking on anything other than JESUS.  
And I am glad that He has wired me that way.  I have never been a HUGE speaker, then again I didn't have a whole lot to speak on.  
If it wasn't about Deaf Ears being open or Blind eyes now seeing, or People we laid hands on Falling straight over on their heads, only to wake up HEALED on fire w/ the Holy Spirit....

Then it is probably NOT worth speaking about.

Long Story short, God stays on the Move and It tickles me to try to stay with Him. 

For example, Tonight, a friend of mine I have been reaching out to, was going to a Bible Study w/ me in Gettysburg at a Mens Discipleship Home.( The Freedom House).

I called the Family to Prayer, and prepared myself to be Spirit lead and/or however I could be used BEST before this Friend of mine came to pick me up.

We ended up letting the GPS lead us the wrong Direction.  The whole time I am just giving Testimony and talking of Gods Love, not thinking of anything specific, When the questions came.

I still did not see opportunity.  I was still trying to see past my frustration of all that Preparation and then not reaching the Bible Meeting.

Finally, by the time we pulled back into the driveway, Her mind was made up, and her heart was set.!!!! YES!! THIS WAs GREAT!!

We bowed our heads, and we Prayed.  She Received Salvation right there, and The Lord Used me!

MAN it was the greatest.

We spent the next hour or so, with me showing her how to use Bible Gateway.  She Loved the NLT version, and was excited about her new life.  SHE WAS FORGIVEN! 

She was worried about her 3 year old Daughter, and She decided to Dedicate her to the LORD.

And then She ask me , If I would be the One to Baptize her In Water.

I cannot explain the Feeling that you get from Leading someone to Jesus Christ.  

For me, It is what I was made for.  

Thank You Jesus for Using me.



The Plan is to try to depart in December for the Dominican Republic.  Just waiting on some last minute Supporters.  Supporters are the important people on the Team, they allow some "Wiggle Room" in Ministry.  And they are prob the Hugest reason that a lot of Precious Souls are able to be Reached.  Without my Prayer Warriors and Supporters I am not sure where in the Field Jesus would have me placed. Thanks.

Please, If you wanna help reach some people, I encourage you to Join us, email me dbarnard13@gmail.com
