Hello everyone. Praise the Lord!
Here is a testimony about moving when God wants us to move. Enjoy.
BE WILLING TO MOVE WITH GOD.
When I spent some years in England before World War II, I was in London and wanted to hear G. Campbell Morgan, a great preacher who belongs with the nineteenth century spiritual giants. He pastored a church that had more than three thousand people in its Bible study even in those days.
London is a very congested city, having been laid out by the Romans some two thousand years ago — and they apparently could not see straight! The streets turn and twist and are not laid out in a pattern. However, I was trying to find a big church that I thought everyone would know about.
I went up to a policeman on the beat and said, "I'm looking for the church of G. Campbell Morgan."
And he said, "I've never heard of him."
I could not believe my ears, and I said, "Why, he is world famous. He has written thirty or forty books. He is a great expositor of the Bible."
He said, "Well, I've never heard of him."
A passer by heard me arguing with the "bobby," and I said, "Who is it you want?"
When I told him, he said, "The first door right there and to the left."

A lot of the big churches in London have a facade in front, but you cannot tell what is behind it if you do not already know. The church was less than ten steps away, and the big cop on the beat had never heard of the pastor. If I had asked him where to find a girl, I am sure he could have told me, but he could not tell me where to get my soul fed.
The devil never wants us to get smart in spiritual things. If God sends a new breath of His power, Satan does not want us to know where it is. Or he wants us to think it must be wrong, because we "did not get it that way. '

If I had lived at the time of John the Baptist, I would have joined him.
If I had lived at the time Jesus ministered on the earth I would have joined Him.
If I had lived during the time of Martin Luther, I would have become a Lutheran because they were the ones who were carrying the banner of God.
If I had been living in the days of John Knox, I would have joined the Presbyterians, because they were carrying; the flames of revival.
If I had lived in the days of John Wesley, I would have joined the Methodists, because that was where God was moving.
If I had been living in the time when the Salvation Army was founded by William Booth, I would have joined that group, gone to the street corners, and "tooted a horn" for Jesus, because they were getting people saved. I want to be where the blessing of God is being poured out. I want to be where the anointing is on people. I refuse to get stuck in some place or group where the Holy Spirit is not being poured out.
If you are not willing go to move with God, then you need to understand that God is on the move and you are not. The Church needs to be on the move with God!

Why does the Lord tarry when the world looks as if it is in its final days? There are millions in India, millions in China, and even millions in America who have not yet made the decision to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. They are headed for hell. That is why the Lord tarries. We need to know our spiritual roots to propagate Christianity throughout our own country and around the world.
