Jesus, the sweetest name I know!

Jesus, truly is the sweetest name I know. It is also the most powerful name I know!
When all else fails and my world is seemingly falling apart, I whisper, Jesus! Not that I am at that place right now, but when things come against me, to be able to just utter the name of Jesus and have my heart be lifted up, how awesome is that! Just the mere sound, the sound, of the name of Jesus and things look up!
In the past year I have been putting feet to a vision and going through the birthing process. We are all familiar with this. You have an idea and do what you can to see it happen. Well, when it is a God inspired idea and the enemy sees it as a threat to his kingdom, he will attack, know that, without a doubt, he will attack! Do not get burdened by this attack, get joyful in it! I know that sounds crazy, but if you weren't doing something that will make a difference for the kingdom of God, the enemy would not be bothered by it in the least! Therefore if the enemy is attacking you, you must be doing something that he sees as a threat to him. This is my way of thinking, and it keeps me going forward when all the odds are against me according the to enemy, I may get down for a bit but then I remember, Jesus and say we must be doing something right!
Many of you have heard and/or read about 2 Fish Ministries www.2fishministries.org well a week ago Wed. the vision came to life, it was born! All five designs of the tee shirts were delivered and wow! I am humbled to say, very well rec'd. Many sold quickly! The shirts are on people in Calif, Texas, Oklahoma, Ark, Minnesota, Alabama, Fl, Connecticut, Panama, the Bahamas. And those are just the places I am sure about.
What is even better than the sales, at about 4:15 am this morning, a new person was rec'd in to the Kingdom of God! Thank you Jesus! A couple that had each been wearing the shirts (differnet ones) had been with a friend and he wanted to know about the shirts they had on, they had just left from an outreach we had on Saturday during our Worship Symposium and it was very late and they were both so full of energy , and the person had asked why are you so full of enegy when you have been at a church thing all evening and they gave him an answer and then he wanted to know about the tee shirts they had on, each one has a simple picture and simple question, along with scripture reference. He wanted to know the whole story about each of their chosen designs. That night he did not rec Jesus. A week later, he wanted to know more, and this morning in the wee hours he rec'd Jesus!
Thank you Mike and Kris for being obedient and being willing to respond to your friend and thanks for sharing with me. I am hopeful to hear many more testimonies of salvations through these thought provoking tees, how can there not be, as they are all inspired by God for God!

Think on this as you go through your birthing process, and the enemy tries to come against you. Less than two weeks out and what God planted in me, is all over the United States and in 2 maybe 3 different countries, plus the Kingdom of God is expanded by at least one! How GOD IS THAT???? God will bless you more than you ever thought or imagined possible. When the enemy comes at you and you have no idea what to do, simple say, Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Thank you God for the seed, thank you for the vision and the provision! May these shirts always glorify you and may they always reflect your purpose. I love you!
