“Once I was young”, said King David “and now I am old.” He must have had me in mind. Once I said, “Lord, am I too young for You to use?” Now I ask, “Lord, am I too old for you to use?” But then God answers me through His Word. He spoke through Balaam’s donkey. And He chooses the “foolish,” the “weak,” the “nothings” to show off His power and to guarantee that only God gets the glory. So I answer, “Thanks, Lord Jesus, I still qualify.”

Then He opens the biggest door we have ever seen—to preach the Word in over 150 countries on this planet! And He gives fresh courage through His saints.

“I used to live in the Boston area many years ago after college, and I heard Frank Eiklor on WEZE Boston, your broadcast. I have since been away from the area. I even forgot who you were and your name.

 “Last night before I went to sleep the Lord dropped your name into my head. When He does that, it means I am to pray for that person. So I did. Again at 4:00 a.m. this morning I was awakened and given your name. I was too sleepy and started to sleep again, but I heard the voice of a Trumpet and I had to wake up to pray for you Frank Eiklor.

“I prayed until He released me. I thought you might want to know how much the Lord loves and cares for you. I looked you up on the internet tonight and thought I should let you know that the Lord is on your side. Sincerely, Pamela…”

So what do I do with such a letter? (I’ll share more letters later.) I drop to my knees and let the tears fall at Jesus’ feet.

Then it’s time to rise again and hold forth His Word of Hope to a battered beaten, bloodied world.

And to stand in awe at the ability of the Holy Spirit to still change lives today like He did in the Book of Acts. I know that it couldn’t—it wouldn’t—happen without your prayers and support. So we’re in it together!

Hoping to hear from you soon,

Frank
