Stepping Out....Faith- By Tonja Beckley

I have searched all my life for what the Lord has given me in the last three years.
I had a daughter in addiction, lost our home to a fire and was learning the peace of God all at the same time. It wasn't until my husband and I joined in our journey with the Lord that I heard Him say~ "There is work in this world I have set in front of you. These storms were not for nothing!" I got to see God's supernatural miracles in my life..we survived a fire and my daughter has been restored. Praise God!
I wanted to learn all I could. I wanted a relationship with my King. I wanted to hear His voice. I wanted to know what I could do to further His Kingdom. As time passed, the Lord tested me (He still does!) He shows me truth, adopted me and began to show me how I could be His hands and feet. I could shine His light and bring glory to Him! I see Him in all aspects of my life and I want to share what I know of Him.
So He says "Get prepared! Give it all to Me..."
My answer? "Here I am Lord, send me." I know this is a huge responsibility and I know it isn't going to be easy. I will face challenges and be stretched beyond anything I have imagined!
Now, we are "Getting prepared", selling our home, purchased an RV, and continuing in our Ministry School. With lots of prayer, listening, and trusting, we are stepping out in faith. We are trusting God to teach, equip, and guide us. The desire is in our hearts! We do not want to miss our calling. Someone will be willing if we won't, but we will! Know you are never too old and it's not too late!
So far, God has shown us~the lost need found, they may be found in some dark places, but we can be His light and hope. It's not going to be easy, but He will be with us. Souls are precious to God. We are his sons and daughters!We need to warn people that living apart from Jesus will have serious consequenses in our eternal life. There is a safe harbour in Jesus Christ!
Peter trusted the Lord when he stepped out of the boat in Matt 14:30-31. His heart was focused on the Lord. Peter momentarily  looked away and began to doubt, so it is important to listen to His voice! Peter could have sank into the waters, but he focused on the Lord. Trust Him! Desire what He desires! Be like Him! Jesus prayed to the Father, did only what the Father  did, said only what the Father said.
I can say from experience, doing God's will and being obedient blesses my life. It is also some of the hardest tasks in my life.  Would I change it for anything else that might be set before me? Most definitely not.
Seek those who speak truth and love into your life. Be wise, listen to His voice. Be encouraged to be who He has called you to be. Step out onto  the water! His calling for us is always better than we could dream.
We may get sent to bring 1000's of lost souls to the Lord~or we might be called to find one. Either way, I will be and example of His love. It's not something you do, it truly is something you ARE!
He has a plan for our lives (Jer 29:11)
With God All things are possible (Matt 19:26)
Take a risk! He is cheering you on!! Run with all your HEART!!
