Break

On October 8th I was in prayer. I was praying about the ministry and the work we have been called to do in the area.  Dr. Alveda kings visit was only a couple of days away. As soon as I began to pray for her success and safety I saw her with a large sledge hammer and she hit a huge wall at the bottom. The wall preceded to crack from the bottom and spread across the face of the wall. Behind the wall was water.
 
The words smashing success then were impressed upon my heart by the holy spirit.
I am not from England and the phrase is not in my normal repartee of words but I knew what I heard from God but it only made me think that it was me responding to the vision. The argument of coarse I had was that I don't use that phrase and I know God has never spoke that way to me. (Is the Garden of Eden in London?). On October 9th I was sitting in the chair in deep meditation(worry) about the campaign and all of the details concerning Dr. Alveda Kings visit. My wife saw me and was reminded of what God told her to show me that day. While in deep meditation(worry) at the time when I was trying to figure out why I saw the wall and why the phrase "smashing" she handed me the poem she read that day that was to be given to me.
 
                                                            DON'T QUIT
 There is a great wall
surrounding each of us
invisible, yet firm
each brick solidly joined
blocking the light
challenging us to dream
to believe in things unseen
to dare reach for things unreachable
The wall is unyielding
splattered with the blood and sweat
of those who dared
cemented stronger
by those who quit
It has shattered the dreams
of the most optimistic
Yet the strength of this wall is an illusion
destroyed by unwavering faith
each brick giving way
to a ray of hope
The more you persevere
the more it crumbles before you
Standing on your faith
enables you
To stand triumphantly in the light
Where you discover
it is the fear of failure
that darkens the minds
of those without faith
It closes with this quote on the opposite page-  The block of granite which was an obstacle in the path of the weak, becomes a steppingstone in the path of the strong.
                                                                    -Carlyle  (1797-1881)
 
I showed Dr. King the poem when she arrived. I said to her, Hey I am not thinking about quitting but God did give me the poem. Well Nov. 6th about 10:00pm I surely understood the poem a lot more and it's meaning.
 
The wall was just cracked, it's got to come DOWN!! Not only Don't Quit the quest for the assembly but Don't quit going to every place you can to get your message out. You are still to keep campaigning. 2009? "Its On Now"

Rev. Dr. Clenard H. Childress Jr.
