WAFFLE HOUSE, DOMESTIC TERRORISM, AND GOD'S WILL!!!!!!!!!!

What is (YOUR PART) IN ALL OF THIS??????????

Before I retired,  HOLY GOD led me to begin to seriously study HIS WORD/THE BIBLE.
My place of employment was in Toccoa, Georgia (Stephens County).  As I continued studying
GOD'S WORD, I sensed that our LORD was leading me to not listen to the radio...but to PRAY
as I drove back and forth from Cleveland, to Toccoa every work day. 
Because I did not know the needs of the people in the homes, businesses, etc., God led me to pray
as Jesus teaches us in Matthew 6:5-13 "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done here on earth as it is in Heaven"  in the lives of all the people in their homes, in the lives of all the people in the businesses
that I passed by in my commute morning and evening. I enjoyed both His great joy, and contentment
as I drove and prayed.

Because I was working --- I had a regular schedule of driving, and a specific route which I drove morning and evening.  So the homes, places of business, schools etc. were included in my prayers
daily.

So... what about the "domestic terrorism" that I mentioned in the title of this message, and
"YOUR PART" in all of this???

Okay, I will address both of those in that order.

When I did not know the specific things to pray for those people --- I would indeed pray:  "Father,
in Jesus' Name  "Come YOUR kingdom, be done YOUR will (as it is in heaven)  in the lives of all the people that come to that place."

My EVENING drive from work to our home...took me past a "Waffle House" restaurant in Toccoa.
Our HOLY LORD gave me the understanding to pray over that Waffle House each time that I drove by it.
Because there were   MANY  people going in and out of that Waffle House day and night.....I understood
to pray "Come YOUR kingdom O GOD, be done YOUR will here on earth as it is in Heaven in the
lives of all those people and their families."

For several years,  ONLY GOD  KNEW WHY  I was praying for the people who visited that Waffle
House.  (Again) After several years of praying that (Matthew 6:5-13), I read an article in the local newspaper  -  "The Toccoa Record".....

The article revealed that several men (from both Cleveland and Toccoa) met regularly at that Waffle House.  The article further revealed that local law enforcement officials had sent an "informer" to join
 that group meeting there ---- and that group of men were in the process of planning, and equipping
themselves to kill Federal Officers, and to disburse Sarin (a poisonous gas) around the Atlanta area.
[Sarin gas has been used in some terrorists' attacks in other nations.]

When the men of that group were arrested ---  they had  ALREADY obtained a gun, AND the necessary
ingredients to make Sarin gas!!! 

As I drove past that "Waffle House" a few days later ------- The HOLY SPIRIT reminded me that
( I, BARRY COKER???) had a part in preventing that terrorist attack!!!!! 
My response was ("  I did?")  He reminded me that He had guided and enabled to pray: "Come, kingdom of GOD, "  "BE DONE will of GOD On earth as it is in heaven" in the lives of ALL who came in  and out of that place" --- and that HE had used those prayers to prevent that terrorists' attack!!!

HOW AWESOME IS OUR HOLY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Psalm 139:1 - 34 reveals to us that GOD KNOWS our thoughts before we think them, and our words
before we speak them ------- HE IS OMNISCIENT --- (HE KNOWS EVERYTHING!!!!!!!)
Probably there were others praying also.  But all that I know for sure is that I PRAYED, HE ANSWERED!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOUR PART:  I  URGE  you to pray every where that you go, and GOD will answer in the way that will be good for us and others, and FOR HIS GLORY!!!!!!!!!

Also, remember Isaiah 55:11 --- "So shall MY WORD be that goes forth from MY mouth; It shall
 not return to me void (empty, fruitless).  But it shall accomplish what   I    please, and it shall prosper
 in the thing  I for which  I   sent it."

SGD  Sole Deo Gloria   -  FOR THE GLORY OF GOD ALONE!!!!!!!!!
