Welcome to Lift Jesus Higher Ministries Online

Hello, and welcome to our website. This is the online home of Lift Jesus Higher Ministry, Evangelist Sam and Bobbye Austin. We are so flattered that you would take time to visit us. We are excited to be in God's service and pray that the things you find on this site will be used to minister to you in some way.

Since 1994 we have been traveling as full time evangelists. This year we will be stepping through some doors that have never been opened to us before as well as returning to some of our favorite places of ministry. You can keep up with our whereabouts on our Itinerary Page. If one of our meetings will be conducted near you, please come by and say hello. We would love to meet you.

Below, here on our home page, you will be able to keep up with us from week to week. I try to post prayer requests and a bit of information on us as well as our whereabouts each week.
To the right you will see a link to our Fresh Bread articles. Here I try to write from time to time things that the Lord places on my heart. Check it out often as well.

Please visit our Family page also. We have four beautiful daughters, four terrific sons in law and 12 grandchildren that we would like for you to see. We will be adding more pictures of them and events in our lives as they unfold.

Please sign our guest book while you are here and let us hear from you, we love to get your email and comments. We will also be happy to pray with you about the needs of your life if you will let us know about them.

May the Lord bless you, come back and visit us often. And oh, yeah, when you pray please remember to pray for us.

May 9, 2008, Atkins, Arkansas

I pray that all is well with you today as you visit our web site.
Bobbye and I are at home here in Atkins tonight, just hanging out and enjoying life and home. Actually I'm having a bowl of (sugar free) ice cream as I write this.
There's no place like home is there? If you are at home all the time, home may not seem that special to you. However, when you travel as we do it's always special to be at home. I drove all the way from Albq. NM one week ago yesterday just to be at home an extra night. I am very thankful tonight for a place to call home. As many of you know for the last several years home has been the motor home, for which we have been very greatful also, but now we are in our house and enjoying it sooooo much. God has certainly been good to us to allow us to have a nice place like this be at home in.
Sunday coming (May 11) is a double special day for all of us. Mother's Day and Pentecost Sunday. I suppose Pastor's will be torn between the two special occasions to focus their service on. However, for me it is clear what I shall do. I will pay special attention to the wonderful gift of Mother's but preach on Pentecost.
Everyone who is aware of anything is aware of the special nature of Mother's. Most all of us are here because of one, right? If you are a mother you are a special person. Our world is such a better place because of mothers. In 1 Kings 2:19 Solomon had only been King for a very short time when his mother entered the room. "The King" at that point "rose up to meet her" he "bowed himself unto her." The NIV says he then had "a throne" brought in for her to sit on at his right hand. The entire Kingdom had to stop while Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, honored his mother. This wise man sat a pattern for us all to follow in that he greatly honored his mother.
If you read on in the text you will find that his mother was actully being used as a stooge by Adonijah to work against Solomon. It no doubt broke Solomon's heart when the lady he had so honored moved dishonorably toward him, however, he honored her and the position she held.
Your mother may not be all you would like for her to be but as you honor her as your mother you can claim the promise of God, Exodus 20:12 "Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land. . ."
So we all know this day is set aside to honor your mother, so we really do not need a sermon on that fact, our traditions and the Word teach us to do that.
However, how much do we really know about The Day of Pentecost? I mean even we Pentecostals do not really know what Pentecost was about. It was on the Feast of Pentecost the mighty Holy Spirit was poured out on the 120 in the upper room, Acts 2. But what was Pentecost about, what was going on? Well, I intend to dig into that Sunday morning and Sunday night at the Oak Grove Assembly of God in Monticello, Arkansas. If you are interested in the subject and would like to hear what I have to say about it, we might be able to get you the messages on CD.
Happy Mother's Day and my the same event that happened on the Day of Pentecost in Acts 2 happen in your world on Sunday and every day.
