Can God use me, in spite of all my mistakes? I know that I have done a lot of things over the years, that not always have been wise to do. But I have always had a heart to serve God. The problem for me have been that there were nobody that guided me, or nobody I could ask ALL the questions that came to my mind.

Born in 1859 into poverty, Smith Wigglesworth was converted by the Methodists at eight years of age. Even then, he was hungry for God and hungry for souls.
Smith Wigglesworth was without doubt one of the most anointed men of God that has lived in recent times. He was known as the Apostle of Faith, and if anyone deserved to be described as "full of faith and of the Holy Ghost", it was him.
He lived and walked continually in the presence of God. And the miracles that accompanied his ministry were of the sort that have seldom been seen since the days of the apostles. People born blind and deaf, cripples - twisted and deformed by disease, others on death's door with cancer or sickness of every kind,- all were healed by the mighty power of God. Even the dead were raised.
Bible Reading Acts 6
In the days when the number of disciples began to be multiplied there developed a situation which caused the twelve to make a definite decision not to occupy themselves with serving tables, but to give themselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the Word. How important it is for all God's ministers to be continually in prayer, and constantly feeding on the Scriptures of Truth. I often offer a reward to anyone who can catch me anywhere without my Bible or my Testament.
None of you can be strong in God unless you are diligently and constantly hearkening to what God has to say to you through His Word.
You cannot know the power and the nature of God unless you partake of His inbreathed Word.
Read it at morn and at night, and at every opportunity you get. After every meal, instead of indulging in unprofitable conversation round the table, read a chapter from the Word and then have a season of prayer. I endeavor to make a point of doing this no matter where or with whom I am staying.

WRITTEN IN PRISON, 1662. PUBLISHED, 1663.
Prayer is a command of God, and is to be practiced both in public and in private; yes, such a command brings those that have the spirit of prayer, into great intimacy with God; and the prevailing prayer, will receive great things from God.

DEAR DR. GRAHAM: I have friends who say I need Jesus in order to be happy, but I'm happy the way I am. Why should I bother with God? He'd probably just make me stop some of the things I enjoy doing. -- M.T.

This article is not a theological doctrine, but rather an illustration. I found this article at the Internet. The author is not known.(Webmaster)After living a "decent" life, my time on earth came to an end. The first thing I remember was sitting by the defense table in a courtroom. I noticed that the prosecutor was a villainous-looking guy who turned my way and snarled.
My lawyer was a kind-looking gent who, for some reason, looked familiar. We were all ordered to stand as in marched the judge, a man who wore flowing robes and had an awesome aura about him.
"Let us begin," the judge ordered.
The prosecutor arose and declared, "My name is Satan and I am here to show you why this man belongs in Hell."He proceeded to tell of lies I told, about things I had stolen, details of me cheating. Satan spoke of other perversions that were once in my life.
The more he revealed, the further down in the chair I sank. I was so embarrassed I couldn't make eye contact with anyone.
