From Fruitful Life to Urban Life

I'm glad to be blogging again. I've started a time of fasting and consecration and that always ignites my writing and music. The Lord has given me a couple of new songs already. He's reminding me of many promises that HE gave us before we moved to Pennsylvania. We really need the reminders more than ever.

We're on the brink of breakthrough or disaster. The only thing that will determine the outcome is faith in the Lord Himself. Now that the legislators of this state are in a battle regarding the state budget, I'm one of thousands of state employees who are currently working without pay. If something doesn't happen right away, we'll be facing the inability to pay rent and utilities. The income through Carol's job is not affected, but my income is almost double the amount of hers. Still, our trust is in the Lord.

It's difficult because we want to see breakthrough for mom and for the Carter family as well. They have trusted the Lord and trusted us. Now we are all being challenged as to if whether we are truly following the Lord or if we are following a foolish dream.

If we are to reach the new era as a ministry and start fresh as Urban Life Church, we will make this one last stand. We will hold on to the Lord until the very end. We must know, once and for all, that we are following the voice of the Lord.

If we are to get across this final barrier, this same barrier that has stopped every ministry that has come to this area to bring the truth and the prophetic anointing, we must seek the Lord for His wisdom
