FAN THE FLAMES

Brothers and sisters in Christ,

What a wonder it is that we who were dead in trespasses and sin, have been made alive! Think about this! "God who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, mad us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus!" (Eph.2:2-7) GLORY to the Lamb that was slain to redeem us to God! "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom, and strength and honor and glory and blessing!...Blessing and honor and glory and power be to Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb, forever and ever!!"(Rev.5:9,12,14) Look back at Ephesians. We were redeemed to be Billboards for His glory!! "He made us alive!...Raised us up...that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus!... to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery...to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church!...To Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever! Amen!" (Eph.25-7,3:9-10,21) 

PRAY~\o/~That the Lord Jesus Christ be glorified in His church! May our hearts burn with passion for the Word of God written and Living! May we be doers of the Word and not just hearers! We cannot live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceeds from the mouth of God! (Matt.4:4)

PRAISE the LORD!~\o/~His word never returns void! This past week, we have received phone calls in response to the Gospel tracts that are going out in the city! On the back of tracts it says, "Need Prayer, call 917-565-4864" We have received calls saying, "Is this the prayer hotline?" One man called and said is this the church that prays?" I thought..."Amen!" That is the desire of Christ Jesus, that we be the church that prays!"

PRAISE the LORD~\o/~JESUS is mighty to save!! On Sunday the Lord brought two new people out to church. In the afternoon, we received a phone call from a man in need of prayer. He told me that he felt captive to alcohol. He said, "How is this possible, I hear voices telling me to drink. I spend my whole paycheck on alcohol. I need to be free!" We prayed on the phone. Right there He called on the name of the Lord Jesus and asked Christ to be his Lord and Savior!!! HALLELUJAH!!! Our God is mighty to save! "That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved! Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved!" (Rom.10:9-13) 

PRAY~\o/~that the Word of the LORD would continue to be glorified and bear fruit! (2.Thess.3:1) Last Tuesday as we were out on Street ministry, a young lady asked, "Can God forgive all sin?" What a joy to show from the Word of God, "The blood of Jesus cleanses from ALL sin!" (1.John 1:7) HALLELUJAH!! Pray that the Lord would open eyes and set captives free! So many are blinded and bound by sin and satan. One man last week said that he was in a Catholic Church, and an Angel appeared to him and said, "All roads lead to heaven." The Word of God warns, that in the last days people would give head to deceiving spirits, and doctrines of devils. (1.Tim.4:1-2) PRAY that the Gospel would go forth in power and in the Holy Spirit and in much assurance!! (1.Thess.1:5) PRAY that the LORD would work mightily, and save a people for His glory!! "Neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase!!!" (1.Cor.3:7)

We thank the LORD for you! We so covet your prayers! These are days of darkness, but Christ Jesus is our Light and life! May the LORD continue to quicken our hearts more and more for the glory of His name!! ~Eph.5:14-20

All Glory 2 the Lamb!

Till We see His face!
