 Be blessed
Doing it God's Way!
With Reverend
Michael Cartwright
How I came to write my book
My first project for God 
Scheduled to come out in late 2007
"To truly glorify God to others,
I've learned that I must be truly comfortable with my
unique past. I knew that I could
not successfully deal with everything
that God wanted me to do until I could successfully
deal with God on everything that I have been uniquely
through!"
Reverend
Michael Cartwright
For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of
power and love and discipline. Therefore do not be ashamed of the
testimony of our Lord... 2 Timothy 1:7-8 NASB
When
the Spirit of God asked me to write my book to tell others
about what has happened to me in my life, where my honor,
integrity and faith in God were severely tested, I was not truly
comfortable with bringing up my unique past that was very
personal to me. Then my spirit understood
that my faith walk with God is not just about if I feel
comfortable with my past history, but if I felt comfortable about
glorifying God to others because of my
past.
I
knew that He was not asking me to edit or
candy-coat my life story. I knew He was asking me to include the
most intimate, most painful, and at times what seemed like
unbearable moments, which I call going through "the fires
of adversity!"
I knew that God wanted me to
accept my purpose of glorifying Him through many of
the life moments that God has taken me throughout my
destiny.
Even though both my parents were both faith based
Christians, I knew that many of my stories of adversity would remind
them of the painful moments in my life and may hurt
them.
I asked God if I could wait until both my parents
were with him in Heaven.
He said "OK".
God
waited. He reminded me that both my parents are in his loving
care. Then He asked me again if I would tell
others about all the things that have happened to me in my
life.
I asked God if I could just wait a little bit longer until
my precious child was out of high school in a couple years.
As only God can do, His spirit reached deep down into the
very core of my Spiritual Heart and from that spot He asked
me...
"Are you ashamed of
Me?"
I have
never heard God say this to me, and I pray I never will again.
Instantly tears welled up into both of my eyes. I was literally
brought to my knees.
My voice had no sound as my very being
was consumed with such overwhelming sadness.
I had been
on a mind blowing journey and my pain was very personal to me. I
knew I owed everything to God.
I found my voice and responded
very meekly and with total humility, "No Lord!"
I knew He was bringing me to
a spiritual place where He could shape me and work with
me.
He asked me, "Did
I ever leave you or forsaken you one
time?"
Again I said, "No Lord!"
I literally
became speechless again as I felt He was disappointed in
me.
As long as I live, I will never forget what God said to
me next.
He said, "You are a Prince of
God!"
"You have accepted
your purpose in life instead of running from it.
"Have I always proven to you again and again that
If I am with you who can stand against you?"
Have I ever wasted one hurt,
or one tear in your life?"
And what He said next made
all the drama in my life make complete sense to me.
He simply
said, "There is no shame in Victory!"
"A righteous man may have many troubles, but the Lord
delivers him from them all." Psalm 34: 19
