Trail Mix - 8.30.19


August 30, 2019 – “Vance Havner said, “If you love His appearing you are not in love with this present world.” Have we set our sights higher than this old world? The love of the world and the love of the Father simply cannot coexist in the same heart! Paul wrote about a member of his missions team that left, “…having loved this present world.” It makes a great difference whether we love this age or the one to come. Remember friend, your heart is wherever your treasure is! We must keep a loose grip on this world and its possessions. If God chooses He can pry our hands off the things of this world that we hold dear but it’s gonna hurt if He has to!” S. E. Trail

 My prayer for you today is a heart that longs for it’s true home!

Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. KJV

“J. Edwin Orr, a professor of Church history has described the great outpouring of the Holy Spirit during the Welsh Revivals of the nineteenth century. As people sought to be filled with the Spirit, they did all they could to confess their wrong doing and to make restitution. But it unexpectedly created serious problems for the shipyards along the coast of Wales. Over the years workers had stolen all kinds of things, from wheelbarrows to hammers. However, as people sought to be right with God they started to return what they had taken, with the result that soon the shipyards of Wales were overwhelmed with returned property. There were such huge piles of returned tools that several of the yards put up signs that read, "If you have been led by God to return what you have stolen, Please know that the management Forgives you and wishes you to keep what you have taken."
