A Word To Our Praying Friends Scott Pauley

Posted in

It is just after 4:30 a.m. as I write these words. No, I have not become one of those ridiculously early risers! My body clock is still on Australia time and the adjustment period is real.

In spite of all of this I have known the Lord’s strength and help since returning. We had a wonderful camp in Louisiana and I am currently in a revival meeting in Bristol, VA. It is yet another reminder to me that God is always fresh and always faithful. 

During my college years there was a sweet elderly man, a veteran missionary back from the field, who used to constantly refer to a missionary’s “praying friends.” His expression has taken on new meaning for me as we travel from place to place – preaching God’s Word, seeking souls, and helping churches. Those “praying friends” are more needed than ever. I praise God for them every day.

As we approach the month of August we would deeply appreciate your prayers for these meetings and a definite move of God in each town. Thank you for being one of our praying friends…

Now, I am no engineer! But the principle applies to us all: The easiest thing in the world is to have a complicated life. The hardest thing in the world is to have a simple life. You have to work hard to keep it simple.

You Have to Work Hard to Keep it Simple

The idea of building a monument was not that of Joshua, but of God. God instructed Joshua to have twelve men remove a stone from a prescribed place, place it on their shoulders and bear it up out of Jordan. It was to be taken to their place of lodging. What purpose could possibly be served in carrying twelve large river rocks approximately six or seven miles to Gilgal? God said to! In Joshua, we find that God is a monument builder.

In the Second Boer War in South Africa, 13,000 British troops were trapped for 118 days in what is now known as the Siege of Ladysmith. Food diminished, and disease grew. Worst of all, discouragement set in. A civilian was arrested, tried, and sentenced to a year in jail for being a discourager! This man was not a traitor, but he walked around town and spoke discouraging things to men who were on guard against the enemy. The deepest wound you can inflict is to wound a person’s spirit (Proverbs 18:14). Image of the relief of the siege

In 2 Kings 5, we read a tale of three servants: Naaman, the Little Maid, and Gehazi. No matter your past, you can find healing like Naaman. Regardless of your circumstances, like the maid, God can bless and use you for eternity. Even if you have experienced great victory, you can fall into sin, just like Gehazi.
