1.. 2.. 3.. Go! on 1 3 2 0.. AM that is!

*Inside information on the title...
"1, 2, 3 Go!" = what the JirehScope Team says when we confirm a decision.
1, 3, 2, 0 = 1320 AM on the Radio

Some time ago I met an individual at The Upper Room in Warwick, RI... where I was ministering. Well it turned out that "Mike," this individual, runs a christian radio show out of Providence. (Actually two... but more on that later) (SIDE NOTE: for those of you who are accustomed to my LONG blogs with spiritual content and 'challenge' at the core... this may be out of the norm... just a short note on a fun and hopefully prosperous opportunity! Guess we'll see when we're done!) So, after helping out at another ministry event in Warwick, Mike asked again if we could schedule a date to come on the show... May 26th! So, two days ago I cut my teeth on radio interviewing... what fun!!... and a cool way to share some messages in word, Word and song.

Mike runs a two hour show, Heart Rock Radio, and proceded to have me on for the entire two hour duration. We spoke about JirehScope Ministries, my ministry experiences, Jesus, Moses, the church, my new position at Word of Life Church, following God's agenda, (the need for air conditioning at Mike's radio studio ;-) and several of the 'stories behind the songs' as he played I think 6-7 of my songs. It was a wonderful opportunity to share some of my passions in this manner and I felt VERY alive encouraging the listeners to seek God's face as Moses did and STRIVE for greater intimacy with the Father... among other things.

At the close of the 1320 AM show Mike asked if I would be willing to come on his FM show some time in the future. (Woohoo! Stay tuned for future opportunities to catch that show on broadcast or 'podcast' as well!) We exchanged some 'networking opportunities' to be a blessing to eachother. (I'm going to provide him with some 'sound engineering' training... and he may be floating me some 'industrial music work.' PRAISE THE LORD for divine connections!! We also spoke of eachothers personal passions and goals. (Pray for Mike... He has a heart to be used for the Kingdom. "Give him favor Lord... and the desires of his heart.)

If you are interested in hearing this show I was given a copy and permission to set it up as a podcast... so feel free to leave a comment if you are interested. If there is 'some' interest I'll try to get that set up soon!

Okay... I've got to slip this in somewhere... AGAIN, I am 'JirehScoping'... seeing HIS hand at work! Again remember, we founded the ministry with an awareness of the importance of being faithful in the little... See how AWESOME and BIG God is! I agreed to go provide sound engineering (and impromptu training) for a ministry, on a volunteer basis, because I sensed God was in it. HE in turn used this opportunity to set up a relationship and bless me with at least one tremendous opportunity already. (Hehe... consider those lillies and birdies!! Man does He provide. Mt 6:25-34)

"Lord You are so cool! I pray Your strength for anyone reading this today that continues to give 'in the little' even when tired and the 'rewards are not 'readily apparent.' I thank You for being the God of opportunity. Help us to SENSE, SEE, HEAR and ENTER EVERY opportunity YOU CREATE for us for YOUR glory and the building of the Kingdom! ~in Jesus Name... Amen."

Praising the Amazing!

"I need to duck distractions fence, and gently slip into Your Backyard
and climb the tree thats near Your House and lift a song of love
A serenade to win Your Heart and make You open heaven's window
when You look down into Your yard I want You to see me"
