Brothers and sisters in Christ,
"Grace and peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come,...from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood!" (Revelation 1:4-5) It is so good to know that Jesus is in control! Hallelujah! The Apostle Paul Knew this great reality, and as he was writing to encourage Timothy, He broke out into praise to the King! He writes, "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief. However, for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show all longsuffering, as a pattern to those who are going to believe on Him for everlasting life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever! Amen!" (1 Timothy 1:15-17) Paul knew that the King is in control! He also knew that without Christ Jesus, he was lost! He was the chief of sinners! We need to remember, that Jesus came to save sinners! He came to save us, to be an example to those who will believe! The Word of God says, "You are My witnesses," says the LORD, "that I am God!" (Isaiah 43:12) "Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts: 'I Am the First and I AM the Last! Besides Me there is no God!'" (Isaiah 44:6) Jesus said, "Do not be afraid! I Am the First and the Last. I Am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I Am alive forevermore! Amen! And I have the keys of hell and death!" (Revelation 1:17-18) ~\o/~ Hallelujah!!! Jesus is LORD! So, the Psalmist reminds us,..."Be still and know that I Am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth!" (Psalm 46:10)
I pray that the Lord Jesus will encourage and strengthen your faith as you walk with Him day by day! May His Word revive you and refresh you as you meditate on it day and night! (Joshua 1:8-9) "Be strong and of good courage! Do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go!"
...And as you go, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father in heaven!"(Matthew 5:16) "Redeeming the time, because the days are evil." (Ephesians 5:16)
Let us continue to pray for revival in the church! Because the LORD has given us His promise! "For thus says the High and Lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: "I dwell in the high and holy place with him who has a contrite and humble spirit, to REVIVE the spirit of the humble and to REVIVE the heart of the contrite ones!" (Isaiah 57:15) So may our heart cry be, "Will you not REVIVE us again, that Your people may rejoice in you! (Psalm 85:6)
Let us continue to cry out to the Lord for the salvation of the lost! "Who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth! ...I desire therefore that men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting." (1 Timothy 2:4+8) Pray for the outreach ministry, that the Lord would give us wisdom to win souls. Pray that the Gospel would go out, "not in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and in much assurance!" (1 Thessalonians 1:5) Pray that the Lord would give boldness to speak the truth in love. Pray that the Lord would open blind eyes, and turn hearts from darkness to light, from the power of satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sin and the great inheritance through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ! (Acts 26:18) PRAY for a great harvest of souls!!!
Thank you for standing with us in prayer!What a joy to know that our labor is not in vain in the Lord! We are so encouraged to know that you are ministering with us through prayer! May the Lord do great things in our day and in our time for the glory of His great name!!!
"Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever! Amen!"(Ephesians 3:20-21)
May the JOY of the Lord be your strength!
Until we see Jesus! ~\o/~
Maranatha!
