Merry Christmas! 12/25/16
Luke 2:11 (KJV)
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
A very PERSONAL word from me!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
I/WE are alive and well today-PRAISE THE LORD!!
My son Joshua has oft encouraged his dad with Jesus' Words:
Revelation 3:2 (KJV)
2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.
"
STRENGTHEN THE THINGS THAT REMAIN!"
As WE get older, the losses grow larger and we find that Christmas' past may not ever be the same!
Families grow larger and/or spread further apart or split wider than the last Christmas, BUT:
"
STRENGTHEN THE THINGS THAT REMAIN!"
Amanda slept well so I actually got 8 hours sleep last night OF WHICH I AM THANKFUL!!!
Soon enough we will gather for a family meal, thankful for the Birth of our Lord and Savior!
I REALLY look forward to the New Year, BELIEVING and EXPECTING great things!
I ENCOURAGE each of you to spend MUCH time next week, PRAYING and contemplating EXACTLY what you want to inquire of the Lord in the New Year.
Joshua has "discovered" ZIG ZIGLAR and demanded I watch a short presentation by him:
Mr Ziglar is also a firm believer in setting goals, IN WRITING!!!
At his insistence, I ordered Joshua and myself his book, "SEE YOU AT THE TOP!"
I ENCOURAGE each of you to take much PRAYERFUL time this week and then SIT DOWN and WRITE OUT YOUR NEW YEAR PRAYER!!!
I am AMAZED at the ANSWERS to my PRAYERS PRAYED last year-AMAZING/SPECIFIC ANSWERS TO MY PRAYERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jesus said:
Mark 9:23 (KJV)
23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
Jesus also said:
Luke 19:26 (KJV)
26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.
IF you have but a wee bit of faith:
"
EVERY ONE WHICH HATH SHALL BE GIVEN (more!!)"
Matthew 17:20-21 (KJV)
20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
And, as Ms. Joyce Meyer's teaches:
"
ASK God for AMAZING and HUGE things-MORE THAN ENOUGH!!'
You may not get ALL of what you ask for but it is much better to get some of LARGE PRAYERS than all of small PRAYERS!!!!"
I LIKE THAT!!
I BELIEVE GOD!!!!
2017 will be my 46th year of LOVING and SERVING the Lord Jesus Christ!!!
I THANK GOD for each and every day He has allowed me to live and follow HIM!!
I just received a 30 second video from Joshua on Death Row and he DECLARED that he loved us and further declared:
"
YA'LL HAVE A GREAT DAY AS I INTEND TO HAVE ONE MYSELF!"
If he can enjoy today, we ALL can!!!
THANK YOU to all who have loved me and supported this ministry through you thoughts, PRAYERS and financial support!!
I take literally the Words of King David who foolishly "NUMBERED the people!"
2 Samuel 24:10 (KJV)
10 And David's heart smote him after that he had numbered the people. And David said unto the LORD, I have sinned greatly in that I have done: and now, I beseech thee, O LORD, take away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.
I do NOT number YOU or the finances received!!
I have NO CLUE as to the NUMBER of people who receive and are ministered to by my writings, PRAYERS and encouragement.
Nor do I receive a totality of the funds received and who gave what!
I DO have an accountant that keeps a proper and legal registry of all tithes and offering received and those who gave financially will receive a contribution letter by 1/31/17!!
THANK YOU!!!
May the worst be past and the future the best in 2017!!!
EXPECT/PRAY GREAT THINGS!!!
I LOVE YOU and from my heart and home to EACH of YOU:
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
GOD BLESS YOU!
