Words of Wisdom from Steve Hickey
May 1st, 2008 by Carl Thomas.Pastor Steve Hickey has written about the happenings in Lakeland with great wisdom.
Personally, a few of his antics and of course, the observables (tattoos and piercings) don€™t make much sense to me. But here€™s how I€™ve overcome that€¦ I asked myself what the 21st century equivalent to eating locusts/wild honey and wearing wild camels hair and a belt might be. What do you think it is? Wearing wild camels fur put John the Baptist in league with the outcasts and unclean. I€™m thinking today€™s equivalent might be tattoo€™s, t-shirts and piercings. Lou Engle once commented about the young generation that God is raising up today that is so full of piercings. Frustrated, he told God€¦ they €œlook like fishing lures.€ God responded something to the effect, €œPrecisely, and I€™m going to use them to reel in the nations.€
I understand people’s misgivings. I really do. I do not understand how believers can be so unbelieving or prideful as to judge how God is allowed to move.

I was somewhat concerned about all of the tettoos,but decided he probably got them before he came to Jesus.I know that some do not come off so easy.Wondered about the piercings,but it is not for me to judge him if God wants to use him with all that on him.
I just know that I,myself,do not want any on me.
I saw how God used him the one night that I was down from Alabama visiting my daughter.We wanted to take her sick daughter to the meeting,but the doctor admitted her into the hospital at Leesburg.
Please pray for her,Shelly Murtha.Thanks & God bless! Mary
