This a.m. Pastor Carl spoke on being a …
“Carrier of HOPE ”

HOPE – anticipation and expectation
Faith believes it is there……what is not seen.

WE KNOW…..in our FAITH …
we know JESUS
we know God
we know The Holy Spirit

All of who they are…..ALL…
Every thing, every word, every part
of who they are and what THEY can do.

We know…and ” we are the carriers ”
The HOPE ~ CARRIERS of expectation
The HOPE ~  CARRIERS of Anticipation

I trained for FED EX …for like 30 days
or so…. over and over…. I always wanted
to be a Postman….a ” carrier ” , seriously.
I missed the test by 1 pt.  – prayed all nite…
missed it on a part I was never trained…
They gave me another chance, I said,
” I don’t think this is where God wants me ”
and gave them my belt and left.

2 months later – Tug almost DIED at the
age of 19…lost 33 lbs. in 3 weeks…..
due to ANXIETY…..literally…..
Praying over him, reading God’s Word to him,

The ” carrier ” of HOPE….
not FED EX…no shorts, no truck…..
BUT JESUS to our son…..
if I had  no hope….
no anticipation of healing
no expectation of healing
no absolute belief
to give Tug….when he~ could not ?
Jeff Dulmage came and prayed all over our house
every entry for satan to come in ~ he anointed and prayed
against satan with the blood that defeated him at the cross.

This was one of the 1st…..
This is one of the nuggets God put in my pocket of
who we today are carrying……
who we today have for others…
Jeff Dulmage was a ” carrier ” bringing Tug , HOPE
Anticipation that His blood still has healing power
Expectation that JESUS would bind satan from Tug

our eyes could not see what Jeff carried to our house
that day….
our FAITH could only BELIEVE….
all we had was FAITH as Tug was “going down “….

He stood at Gabe and Marla’s wedding …..
Jim Baker and Jim Loughrin came …..
only to stand in the back and pray that Tug would make it.
HE DID…..
HE IS …today,  ( along with GABE ) ….
The ” EVIDENCE”   of things not seen….
and now….Tug is a carrier   of  HOPE
Gabe is a carrier of   HOPE

..on the way home,  “I still today sometimes
wish I would of gotten to be a Mailman or Fed Ex “….
Rock,  ” you are not that kind of a “carrier, Janelle ”

and I receive that JACKED……..
@ Fed Ex they taught you to handle everything
with GREAT RESPECT as you don’t know what you are
carrying….to a hospital ? a home ? a jeweler…..

WE, WE, WE ….
are ” Carriers of JESUS CHRIST ”

” the HOPE of all “
