Michael & Dawn Newsletter June 2020

Friends...
My friend and mentor Junior Hill has nicknamed me “Cancellation-Mike.”  Ha!  I have had a number of cancellations on my preaching schedule due to the Covid19.  While it is true I have not been busy preaching, I have been busy with other ministry projects and opportunities.  Such as, completing my latest book, starting the process of recording a few songs, mentoring ten men, Iron Sharpening Iron, and preparing new messages.  I hope to have my new book in hand by the time I write next month’s newsletter. 
I’ve been working on a message about Jacob titled, Wrestling With God.  I’d like to share with you a few of my thoughts… Catherine Booth said, “If we are to better the future we must disturb the present.”  And thankfully it is often God who disturbs us.  Thank God for His disturbing, His intervening…His wrestling with our hearts and minds.  Sometimes faith comes in the fighting. Jacob’s battle wasn’t with Esau. It was with God.  Sometimes believing comes in the battle. Jacob’s battle wasn’t marked by a dislocated hip but a changed heart. Sometimes courage comes in the conflict. Jacob wrestled all night, and still had the courage to cling…  Sometimes reviving comes in the wrestling. Jacob was prepared for what lay ahead…revived and relieved. Sometimes strength comes in the struggle. Jacob’s struggle would strengthen him for a lifetime.  He would become a tool in God’s hand.  If God is wrestling with you - do like Jacob.  Grab hold of Him.
If you’d like to have me or Dawn speak at your church…We are available for Revivals, Conferences, Retreats, and Special Events.  Thank You…
