Zero Hour

  Me and my wife where recently talking and I brought up about zero hour. She let me know this would be a great title for a blog. I believe she is right but I'm sort of bias she is a great women and loves me and the Lord dearly :)
   Zero hour occurs anywhere from 2 to 20 times a day. It is the time when the pavement hits the road, when your faith is truly tested, when you find yourself reaching for God because there is literally no other way or absolutely no one else to turn too.
  As casting crowns put it" It is deep water faith in the shallow end" it is easy to have faith when it is not tested ,I would like to introduce you to someone who had Zero hour faith, all the time the first martyr after Jesus, his name was Stephen. I would like to show you  3 verses from his life. Acts 6:5 A man full of faith and of the holy spirit and Acts 7:59,60  And as they were stoning Stephen he called out, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit and falling to his knees he cried out with a loud voice, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them." And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
   Now just the fact that his wording in his exit would take total belief and he would almost utter the same words of his savior is by any account incredible, yet just before this we find that he was "FULL of faith"
  The reason he was full of faith was not because he had memorized Bible verses or he went to church every Sunday or he tithed 10% no not at all. The reason was in the short period of time he had spent with Jesus he developed a great relationship with his heavenly Father and embraced what was to be by the sacrifice of the lamb and also his good friend and mentor Jesus.
   My friends God does not abandon you even in your Zero Hour( read Hebrews 13: 5,6) Call out to him, he's right there waiting. The times I have found myself distant from God is not because he has left me it is because I have turned my back on him. What a wonderful feeling it is when you turn around and hes right there just longing to hold you in his embrace again he keeps account of no wrongs if you are just willing to ask him for forgiveness.
 PS to all YOU CAN NOT EARN GODS LOVE, FOR YOU CAN NOT EARN SOMETHING THAT IS GIVEN
   Great love and greatest dreams to be revealed to you as you grow in him Amen
