Commitment to Conquer: Chapter1: Hemet Calls

Chapter 1 was a bit scary I thought at first but when I contiued reading it turned out to be good. Chapter 1 is about a guy Called Bob Beckett he is called to a job at a juvenille dentention in Hemet when he gets there he discovers a mountain called San Jacinto Mountains and in it is the devil they call him Tahquitz they believe and think of him as the evil one.

Bob continues to look further into this mountain and is called to a meeting with Peter Wagner and he shows him a map that he has been keeping track of and thinks where all these things that are bad having being happening one by one he marks a red dot where he wants to find out more and wants to change. Peter the proffessor says that this is great and believes that Bob will do amazing things in this city with God's help.

Bob grabbed a few men that were christians and they went on a journey up to the mountain in san Jancinto to pray and fast, when it was late at night they all woke from a deep sleep of quacking through their cabins, they believed it what the evil spirit trying to stop them from overcoming him and seeing good things happen for the glory of God, so they got up immediately and began to pray and praised God they got louder and louder and the shaking became more intense but they continued to pray and it eventually settled down and they felt the presense of God.

When they returned they wondered and they continued to pray, eventually Bob opened up a church in San Jacinto Mountains. they continued praying and they opened up a prayer group in the church where everyone could attend, about 100 people attended. They continued for 5 years they saw changes and miracles in the church but the community remained as it was. They still don't know why this is but they will continue praying and seeking God no what the circumstance. Yes it will be challenging but God will be with us all, all the way through.

We will see what God is going to do  in that community in chapter 2 and how we can gain the power to do the same in our community as well.
