FAN THE FLAMES

Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Anybody getting Homesick for heaven? Desiring like Paul, "to depart and be with Christ which is far better!" (Phil.1:23) In His presence is fullness of joy! Paul said, "Nevertheless to remain in the flesh is needful...I shall remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy of faith, that your rejoicing...may be more abundant in Jesus Christ!" (Phil.1:24-26) Oh, how we need to follow the Apostle Paul's example, and find our JOY in Christ Jesus alone! "Rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh!" (Phil.3:3) Peter reminds us that we have been born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead! In Christ, we are those "who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation!...In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with JOY inexpressible and full of glory!" (1.Pet.1:1-9) REMEMBER: "The JOY of the LORD is your strength!!" (Neh.8:10)

PRAISE JESUS for all He is doing! We have seen the LORD answering prayer! Recently Greg and Lina were married! HALLELUJAH!! Both Greg and Lina are testimonies of the LORD's saving grace! They desire to live to please Jesus! Please pray for them as they grow together as one! Pray that Christ would be glorified in and through them!

PRAISE the LORD for brokenness over sin and godly sorrow working repentance! Last week we were proclaiming the Gospel on the streets. It was such a joy to watch the Lord draw a woman from down the block. She heard the Word of God and the Spirit of God drew her! She came with tears running down her eyes, and called out to Jesus for salvation!!! HALLELUJAH!!

PRAISE the LORD for His leading and salvation! Last Tuesday we were on the street and it began to rain. We had to go to the train station, but the LORD was directing our steps and stops! When we arrived by the steps to the train, we met a woman, whom the LORD had prepared! The LORD opened her eyes, and Brandy called on Jesus for salvation! On Thursday night, she came out to our evening service. The Lord brought in for young people off the street into the meeting. They heard the word of God, and responded to the call to repent of sin and receive Christ by faith! Praise the LORD!! 

PRAISE the LORD!! On Sunday, Brother Jim Wiccliffe brought his Sunday school class from Fishkill Baptist Church to Revolution Church! What a Joy to Celebrate the Lord Jesus together! After service, we hit the streets and they brought food to the homeless! What a joy to see Christ in action through His people, seeking to save the lost. One man we met named Mike was living in a burned out building. The Lord opened his eyes, and he called on the Lord Jesus to save him! Also two others outside a homeless shelter gave their lives to Christ! HALLELUJAH!!

PRAY for these newborn babes in Christ to get a strong craving for the Word of God that they may grow by it!! (1.Pet.2:2) God is faithful!! God gives the increase!! (1.Cor.3:5-9)     

THANK YOU for standing with us in Prayer! When I think of you, I think of Epaphras. We are fellow workers for the Kingdom of God! Paul said that Epaphras was always laboring fervently in prayer! (Col.4:12) THANK YOU for laboring fervently in prayer with us! Please keep praying with us and for us! We need strength and wisdom from the LORD! We need boldness to proclaim the Good News! Pray that Christ Jesus will be glorified in and through the church! Pray that our families will say like Joshua "As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD!" (Joshua 24:15) + That we would walk in holiness and the fear of the LORD! (2.Cor.7:1) Pray that the Lord would add to the the church those being saved! "Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving!" (Col.4:2) 

We love you and thank the Lord for you!

Keep Burning and Shining for King Jesus!
