60/30ing Goes On.

Are you maintaining a continued contact with God hour by hour?
Are there beeps - or other reminders prompting to Remain In Him?
Are you connecting  - Talking?  Listening? Acting?

Here one of my 60/30 experiances from the weekend:
(this is a biggy - but I had lots of little ones as well - why not share your stories as well)

I was preaching at another church on the weekend - I had my sermon prepared and all ready to go. The services starts with the person leading reading John 15 - 'remain in me' -  then the childrens talk is done about the vine and the braches and reamining connected with Jesus!!  I'm thinking did I give them the wrong text and theme that I was going to preach on?? As this is was happening I start to get the promt - to get rid of the sermon I had prepared - "I want you to encourage them by preaching the "remain in me" sermon and share the 60/30 challenge with them."  I had no notes on that sermon!!  "this is a big time ask God!!"

In the end I go with it - it was amazing how it all came flooding back to me as I began preaching it. It really seemed to connect with the small little congregation. Many shared with me later that it really spoke to them.   And here is the icing on the cake - as we sing the last song  - my phone goes of in church - it shouldn;t have because I switched the alarms of before I went into church - must have done something wrong!!!  or right!!   I start tearing up as I madly reach to switch the phone of  and had this over whelming sense of  God saying:  "see - thats what I wanted them to hear!!!  thanks for being faithful!!"

        Remain in me & Fruit Happens!!!

What's God prompting you to do today??
