Dear Ken and Linda, I just want you to know William and I have been praying for you.
I know yo= ur hearts so I don't look at the circumstances and neither does God.
It do= esn't depend on the circumstances, the strength of your arm or your voice.
=  I hope you find this encouraging and uplifting.
=20 I wanted to share some verses with you both and some things that Oswald Cha= mbers says in his book His Utmost for His Highest.
"My eager desire and ho= pe being that I may never feel ashamed, but that now as ever I may do honou= r to Christ in my own person by fearless courage."
Phil.
1:20 =20 "We shall all feel ashamed if we do not yield to Jesus on the point He aske= d us to yield to Him.
To get there is a question of will, not of debate no= r of reasoning, but a surrender of will, an absolute and irrevocable surren= der on that point.
An over-weaning consideration for ourselves is the thin= g that keeps us from that decison, though we put it that we are considering=  others.
When we consider what it will cost others if we obey the call of = Jesus, we tell God He does not know what our obedience will mean.
Keep to = the point;  He does know.
Shut out every other consideration and keep your= self before God for this one thing only- My Utmost for His Highest.
I am d= etermined to be absolutely and entirely for Him and for Him alone.
Whether = that means life or death, no matter.
Paul is determined that nothing shall=  deter him from doing exactly what God wants.
God's order has to work up t= o a crisis in our lives because we will not !
heed the gentler way.
He br= ings us to the place where He askes us to be our utmost for Him, and we beg= in to debate; then He produces a providential crisis where we have to decid= e- for or against, and from that point the "Great Divide" begins.
If the c= risis has come to you on any line, surrender your will to Him absolutely an= d irrevocably.
What do you expect to do?
You do not know what you are goi= ng to do; the only thing you know is that God knows what He is doing.
Trus= t Him entirely.
You may not know what He will do next, but you have to tru= st He does.
We need to come in close contact with the teachings of Jesus C= hrist.
If we have never had the experience of taking our commonplace relig= ious shoes off our commonplace religious feet, and getting rid of all the u= ndue familiarity with which we approach God it is questionable whether we h= ave ever stood in His presence."
God bless you during this time.
We will continue to pray for God's will in=  your lives.
Sincerely,

Prayer for you
