When He Calls, Listen
Remember HE called You
Psalm 37:5
Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
Many of you know that earlier this year, I created a new business, Tenpenny Health Restoration Center, LLC focusing on ECP, External Counter Pulsation. This long over-looked technology can offer relief from a myriad of conditions, but it is primarily an FDA-approved treatment to address heart disease: hypertension, arrhythmias, cardiomyopathies, congestive heart failure (CHF) and myocarditis.
It has been a tremendous amount of work – from writing the business plan and raising the capital to doing the build out and furnishing the space to hiring/training the staff. The endeavor was started in April…and we opened for business July 19. I knew time was of the essence. But launching a new business as the Globalist’s continue to threaten economic melt down has been more than a little stressful.
Even though the future landscape is fraught with landmines, when the Lord puts something on your heart...you need to listen, even when you don’t really want to do the task.
I have been on countless phone calls over the last two years with various groups who are fired up about “starting a new healthcare system” or “building a new wellness center.” While the idea may be novel to them, each group thinks they have a unique idea and their center will shift the paradigm…like it’s never been done before. I’m not being critical and I certainly don’t want to rain on their respective parades, but it is an accurate observation. Having run a successful, cash-based medical clinic for over 26 years, it is a huge undertaking. And in the days where there are help wanted signs every where and barely anyone to hire, finding consistent, high quality employees is more challenging than ever before.
So, when the Lord started nudging me to DO SOMETHING ON…I really didn’t want to start anything new.
Really Lord? I prayed that this would pass; instead, the call got stronger. I felt many of the reluctant humans in the Bible that the Lord pushed into service:
God called Moses by name in a burning bush. He promised a land flowing with milk and honey and clearly commissioned him into service where the Lord clearly said:
Therefore, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh so that you may lead My people, the Israelites, out of Egypt.” (Exodus 3:10)
What was Moses’ response? “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the people of Israel out of Egypt? Please, Lord, I’m not a good speaker. I speak slowly, and I become tongue-tied easily...send Aaron! He can do it!”
And then there was Jonah - God commanded him to go to Ninevah and preach to them about their sinfulness and call them to repentance. Jonah flat out refused....but Jonah eventually listened and God has His way.
When Gideon was called, he gasped and said, “Me??!! You’ve not serious... ME??!! I’m the least important member of my family.” He actually demanded a sign....which the Lord graciously granted...
The Lord kept putting this new concept in front of me. So I finally said, “Lord, if you want me to do this, You’ll have to make it easy...” and for the most part, He has.
I have my heart and mind focused on a particular property here in NEO for the first New Medical Center. My mom told me to never fall in love with a building – but I broke the rule. So, I’m going to stand on this verse as all of these things start to come to pass:
Psalm 37:5: Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
I am committed to this process and this plan. Americans need a new plan, a new way to OBTAIN quality health care ....and a new way to VIEW how medical care should be given and received. Americans need ways to heal and recover from these deadly injections.
The entire elephant can’t be eaten in one meal...so we’re going to take ONE bite, create ONE siloed element, put our focus on ONE clinic here in NEO that will then, with the help and grace of God, be the handspring to others across the country.
Today’s prayer:
Lord, every one of us, in one way or another, is a reluctant leader. We feel we are not strong enough, not good enough, not smart enough, not courageous enough... to do whatever you have tasked us to do. But when we remember Lord, that this is YOUR battle, and YOU have called US to the task, all we really need to do is Commit our plans, our thoughts and our actions to YOU.... and TRUST you, with all our heart, mind and soul...then YOU, with YOU will bring it to pass ...and it will be completed to your glory
We praise you. We thank You. We worship You. We ask you to guide every step we take as we step out in faith to fulfill what you would have us do.
In Jesus name, Amen.
You are our present day “Joan of Arc”! Thank you for accepting God’s Will and Plan in your life.
