MY ARM IS NOT SHORT THAT I CAN'T TOUCH
AND MY EARS ARE NOT CLOSED THAT I CAN'T HEAR

God has placed this dear nephew of mine on my heart to stand in the gap
and help relieve some of my dear sisters suffering.

He needs all the encouragement that we can give to him.  It would be so
easy to wash him out of our lives and pretend that he dose not exist,
but he does.  I didn't want to get enveloped with him and his problems.

  I listened to my dear sister tell me all about him and all the
things that has happened.  I just thought, boy, am I glad I don't
have that problem. 
It wasn't until God put a burden on my heart about my nephew
that I became concerned about his welfare.

God told me,

"MY ARM IS NOT SHORT THAT I CAN'T TOUCH AND MY EARS ARE NOT
CLOSED THAT I CAN'T HEAR.

  I knew then that God wanted me to start praying for
this precious soul as if his and my life depended on it.

  GOD was ready to move.

  IS ANYONE INTERESTED IN THIS BOY? 
I am ready to do YOUR WILL, I heard myself say.

GOD SAID, LETS HARVEST ALL THE BOYS LIKE
THIS.  LETS NOT LEAVE ONE BOY OUT.
BRING THEM ALL IN FOR THE HARVEST.

  As I watched myself harvest for the souls
of these boy,
I could see them coming out of the woodwork just like bugs and
insects.  There was so many of them and God said,

"THEY ARE ALL MINE, AND I WANT THEM BACK."

When I had harvested all I could find, God SAID,

LETS THROW THEM INTO MY FURNACE.

  I said,"oh no Lord, lets not burn them."  I thought He was
throwing them into hell.

  HE SAID,

THIS IS MY FURNACE.  I WILL REFINE THEM
INTO FINE FLOUR.

  As I threw them into the furnace with my shovel and then
they became fine flour, the LORD SAID,

"THROW SOME YEAST ON THEM." HE SAID,
"THROW SOME SALT ON THEM, "HE SAID,
"THROW SOME SUGAR ON THEM. 

As I watched, loaves of bread began to rise out of the flour, yeast, salt and sugar.

  HE SAID,

"THESE LOAVES WILL FEED THE NATIONS."

  I had not left my home the whole time this was happening.
  I did not fully understand what had happened to me
but I trusted God and thanked him for this
marvelous thing that I had just witnessed. 

A few days later, my telephone rang.  It was my sister.  She said that
Isaiah Roberts (House of Isaiah de-tox center) had just called her to
tell her that her son had come to his door and wanted to be taken back in.
He wanted my sister to come over and talk
about what they were going to do with her son.

My sister asked me to please pray
for my nephew that Isaiah would take him back.
She didn't have the money that it takes to keep him there.

  I told her, "lets pray now."  I prayed,
"oh God, how great You are for letting my nephew come back and ask for help."
We prayed that we could afford the cost of his going back. We hung up the phone expecting a miracle from God. 

My sister called back that afternoon after
meeting with Isaiah and that he had accepted him back
and she said she thought that she could afford the price.
  As you can probably guess, my sister and I are
very happy that God heard our prayers
and He answered from HEAVEN.

It would be fine and dandy if that was the end of the story. 
GOD did his work
and HE is asking me now to be a loving aunt Dot. 
To write to my nephew and let
him know that he has family that
really does love him and is concerned with
his welfare. 

I know that GOD will take care of all his needs and he is giving
me this opportunity to play a part in the KINGDOM OF GOD.
  This is the work of GOD.

The only thing we can bring with us when we die to this world and face
the LORD, is other people.  I pray that GOD will use me in HIS WORK.

My nephew renewed his faith in the Lord Jesus.

However, the enemy is fighting this battle so hard to keep my nephew
from walking the walk that the Lord Jesus has for him. The pull was
so strong, the enemy again pulled him back into this awful dark life of sin.

Again prayers of loved ones has pravailed and God has heard our prayers.
The Lord has again put a hook in his jaw and reeled him in once again.
This time so broken and humble and finally he has come to the end of himself
and just said 'Jesus here I am - I am in your hands.'

Once again we must stand in the gap and form a circle of prayer
around this precious soul and build a
wall of prayer so tight that the enemy's darts cannot
get through. God has a call on this life.

What God calls - God provides.

Praise God for His redeeming Grace.

I know that my next report here will be telling about the wonderful ministry God has called and provided for this
precious soul. He has paid a very high price for
running from God, but the souls he will be able to minister
to from this experience
will be worth it in the end as souls are won for the Kingdom.
