Verna Lay Ministries

DON'T...... let no man or woman stop you from entering in. Before God set me free under the tent, I had to push against all odds to get there, against all doubt, against everyone that discouraged me. Pressing and fighting against mental blocks, caused by decietful preachers and christians, or maybe an abusive marriage, sickness, no matter what. Whats the use spirits, spirits that say, no body cares, I've tried it before and I got no where, I have tried and tried and I never get through, something always blocks me. Start crying, Son of David have mercy on me and help me. And don't and I didn't let, nothing stop me from getting set free, no matter if I had to try and try and try a thousand times, just keep trying. All these things are to stop you. Knowing that if I could get to where Jesus was, never giving up or stopping, no matter how many times I goofed up, keeping trying and touch the hem of his garment by faith, I would and you can, be healed. It wasn't the man, but it had to be someone that lived right and was borned again and living right. (not what was over his door). But your faith and drive mostly done it. For God was watching you how that you would let nothing stop you, some how, some way you would get your salvation, your relationship, that you had lost back. And you would never and will never stop until you do. He sees you and he watches, oh don't worry your father will guide you and you want even be aware of it. If only you knew how he loved you. He knows man is weak and frail and can't live right on their on, no matter how hard they try. Thats why he had to die, no man was worthy or could live right. His spirit lives it in us, we can't and never will be able to live it by our own righteousness. We have to get his righteousness, which is by faith in him (Jesus). After you are

set free, you will have to...........Be very alert by praying, the devil is very smart and will trick you up if you don't pray and stay in tune with God, cause his purpose is to get you away from God anyway he can. And he knows if he plants a lie in your spirit, that it will take your eyes and affection off of Jesus. If you listen to someone and take the wrong exit on the interstate instead of reading the road map you will get lost. You want find the city you are looking for and you will not find Jesus the loving Saviour we long for and need more than anything. If you except a lie and let saten decieve you, notice that your fruit will began to get small, back track and keep that fruit big. In other words feeling his peace and etc. cause you will lose it if you get on the wrong road. You will begin to notice othe fruit which is, works of the flesh or having your relationship with the church or preacher. Obeying them, making them your god, instead of being led by Jesus. If they are feeding you from Gods table they will be, causing you to get closer to him not them. We love each other and the real seed of God loves and delights in being together, but it is to bring us closer to Him (Jesus).. Believe the word above any body. Children it will be worth it after this life is over. All that I have lost I count it all but dung! that I might know him (Jesus).

All the things that I have lost I count it all but dung that I might KNOW HIM...

When we get out relationship back with him.

We can once again...... go out an find the little lost sheep and lead them in to safety. Not doing what men think we should do, they may see nothing we do, they may think we never do nothing for God, they may judge and condemn and say well if you were of God why don't you do this or that. Pay them no mind they don't see what we do in the early morning hours as we seek God. They don't see us when we leave our homes and go to the nursing homes, hospitals, parks, wal-mart jail houses, taking our books, tracks and giving them to whom ever God leads us, and telling them what Jesus has done for us and brought us through and he will do the same for him. We are led by his spirit. We let him led us and not question his ways of doing things. If yo u don't tell everyone, they don't know nothing you are doing. Our reward comes from our father, those that are broadcasting and boasting of what they do, gets their reward from man. He may send us to visit someone and Gods spirit that is upon and in us, will lift off that down spirit that is on them, causing them too, want to end it all. They may be discouraged and want go to church no more, but after you let God use you, too talk to them, maybe you don't talk, about anything but fishing. But when you leave their presence, they notice that they feel better, Gods spirit in you drove away that tormenting spirit in them. Is this not worth it all, this is God touching his little hurting sheep, that has lost their way. Oh you want get in the spot light, or just maybe no one will ever know that you did a thing. But you will be getting Gods honor and not mans honor.
While they give the dead preacher down the road the praise for it. But you will know and God will reward you and this is all that matters to you, you're not seeking honor and praise from man, you only want Jesus approval and be willing to be a nobody just to KNOW HIM.

You may go somewhere with your husband or wife, they may be a minister and everyone gives them praise and honor for praying the prayer of faith for some dieing soul. But it was God in your little hands that touched the heart of God for them, and you stood back in the crowd and said nothing, while people was prasing them, for their prayers and labor and never said nothing to you. But you didn't care cause, you knew and only wanted your fathers (Jesus) love and praise and oh the reward you knew that he was going to give you.

His chosen are not looking for the praise of man. We are willing to be a nobody and a nothing in peoples eyes. We are not glory seekers, better watch those that are. And them that takes the praise for what God does. It is God that deserves the praise not man.
One sunday I felt to go to the grave yard up town. There was someone coming to visit their son's grave that Jesus wanted to talk to and Jesus wanted to lift his grief and heavy load. Cause you see he had grieved long enough, his son was killed in a motor cycle accident, five years ago and he couldn't get the burden lifted off him down at his church, it was to dead, but he didn't know that Jesus could lift it from him. You see my friend Jesus is so concerned, if only people would obey him and be lead by him. It wasn't an accident that I was in the grave yard, just before this man showed up, grieving over his son. The spirit of God had me looking at the grave where his son was buried. I was fixing to walk over to it when this man pulled up (awesome). I didn't even know them, but Jesus did. In fact I din't know anyone that was buried there, I was just there. I though I was just going for a walk. God sent a

preacher here in a tent revival, long time ago, no one knew him, and we still don't know where he went. But mom was up every night greiving over my brother that had gotten killed. Every night she greived and greived. She attented the tent revival and th preacher said, to her stand up you are not going to be greiving no more. And she has never greived since, Jesus lifted the burden from her heart, see how much Jesus cares for us. But he had to have someone's hands to use to touch her. This man never got the praise, God had to get it, cause no one knows who or where he went and i'm glad. Cause God will get the praise alone.

When they lifted up their voices and said that Herods voice was the voice of a god not man and they lifted him up. God let worms eat him.

All you are going to get from the world is the same as Jesus, Paul, John on the isle of patmos, and the rest of them got. Read and study their lifes. They were beaten and out casts. They didn't have the glory and honor of man. They didn't drive 30,000 dollar cars and live in mansion and wear silk and saten. They were lucky to have anything to wear. This is religion and hog wash. Send 100 dollars and I will send you a lucky duck. Send so and so and I will pray and send you this or that. We don't have to send nothing, its not for sale, its free. Who so ever will let him come and drink, we don't need their lucky ducks or pay for their prayer cloths. Or bring me a 20 and I'll prophecy over you.

If you go to church somewhere and God uses you to testify and they don't recieve you and give you a cold shoulder. Don't go home discouraged and down and out. That is what you will always get if you are in the crowd of the glory seekers, God has sent you there most likely to cry out against what they are doing. So rejoice your glory will come from your father. If you are not happy with his honor only, then may be you are a glory seeker your self, you want to be in the spot light. May be you need a check up. Go to the word of God and start reading it and let God give you a check up. His spirit will check you each time, you are guilty of a wrong when your eyes reads something in his word. You will be condemned, and you will know that you need to repent and start working on getting rid of that. By praying and letting the holy ghost remove it, we can't it's through him, his spirit removes it from us by repenting and being willing to pray and let his spirit remove it. For example if we can't control our tongues, which the Bible says no man can tame. We first admit it to God by saying I can't, but if I am willing to suffer the wrong and pray, I know your spirit will conquer it for me, and keep my mouth shut for me. The Holy Ghost will silence your tongue, you will began to feel so much peace and his spirit that you will, began to say "man I had rather have this (his peace)" than having my tongue lose at both ends. Every time you start to say something you shouldn't you will be very aware of it and think to your self, no I had rather have Jesus (his feeling, which is the fruits of the spirit) which is peace, love, joy etc., for he is better than, the feelings of the flesh ( which is wrath, revenge, confusion, discord, etc.) that we get when we are trying to defend our selves, wanting mans praise. We have to let God kill out our pride and be will to count it all but dung, that I might KNOW HIM......

lets be willing to be mocked, made fun of, degraded, or what ever to
KNOW HIM......

All the things that I have lost I count it all but dung that I might KNOW HIM...
