I staggered around the room thinking about that for a while. Then I began to shout, “Yeah! Saul died on the road to Damascus, and my old man died in North Little Rock, Ark., just before 8 o’clock in the evening, Nov. 2, 1962. I’m as forgiven as he is. My sins don’t exist in the mind of God anymore!” Ever since then I’ve been grateful to Paul for overcoming all the condemning devils he had to fight, and for having the faith to say: • “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit” (Romans 8:1). • “This one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:13-14). If the Apostle Paul could say those things, I can too. So can you and every other believer. We can all forget the past and shine like a light in the darkness, holding forth The WORD of life!

Even if I did, I don’t know where God would want me to go and what He would want me to do.” Then stop focusing on your feelings. Instead, focus on Jesus who came, shed His blood and put His own light on the inside of you. If you’ve obscured that light by doing things that are out of line, just humble yourself before The LORD and repent. Say, “LORD, it’s not my will to go crosswise to Your plan. It’s my will to obey You, to live out Your plan on earth as it is in heaven. So I’m asking You to reveal it to me.” That’s a prayer you can be sure God will answer because He said in the Bible that He “worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure” (Philippians 2:13). He also said, “Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God” (Luke 8:10). So if His will is a mystery to you, you can just pray about it in other tongues and trust Him to reveal it to you. That’s what I do, and God has always been faithful to lead me. He’s always shown me where He wants me to go and what He wants me to do. That’s how I ended up preaching the gospel in the Sierra Hotel and Casino all those years ago in a city that’s absolutely famous for sin! ***continues on pg. 9****** ******ADVERTISEMENT****** Fulfill Your Destiny Until the birth of Jesus, only one man saw the glory of God and lived to tell about it.
