#84: Claude King

More than thirty years ago a publisher asked a little-known preacher in western Canada to write a book on how to experience God. The preacher had been challenging his listeners to ask, “What does God want to do through me?” because, he said, “God uses ordinary people to do extra-ordinary things.”   Like many busy preachers, Henry Blackaby did not have time to write a book. And so Claude King helped him write Experiencing God, a book that has been used since 1990 to transform lives, revive churches, heal marriages, and start ministries. For instance, Paul Van Woudenberg, who told us two months ago about Connect South Central Tennessee, is one person whose life was changed by Experiencing God.   In this presentation, Claude King, who wrote Experiencing God with Henry Blackaby and was Discipleship Specialist for Lifeway and is co-founder of Final Command Ministries, tells us how he learned that his own plans led nowhere. But when he joined God in where God was working, God used him to be a blessing to others. From New Mexico to Africa, from prisons to executive offices, the message of Experiencing God has been transformative and Claude has been in the middle of where God is working.
