INSPIRATIONAL NEWSLETTER

FRIDAY

AUGUST 14, 2026

We pray that this newsletter and its contents that we share will help you on your daily journey with Christ, causing you to grow in the ways of the Lord.

The giftings of the fivefold ministry (Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor, Teacher) should have one purpose, and that is the teaching and equipping of the saints until we come into unity.

This is why we teach so that you can grow stronger in your faith until unity comes in the body of Christ. Take what you have learned and share it with others so that we can further the kingdom for Jesus Christ.

DAILY INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGES

TAKE TIME TO REST

A while back, I spent a few days sick in bed in the month of January. I had time to just enter into the rest of God. I trusted daily for the manifestation of healing to enter into my body and eventually I got better.

There are so many reasons that people get sick that I do not know where to begin. Probably the number one reason is that we do not take time to rest! Our bodies need time to rekindle, and rest gives it to them.

I am an action person, always on the go, and always doing “something.” There are a lot of things to do as a Pastor, and a wife, and a mother, and newsletter writer, a now a rock painter, and a, and a, and a……… Yes, we all have things that could keep us going continually, but we must come aside and rest.

While I was sick there were several days that were gloomy. You could say that in spite of the fact that I do not like 100-degree weather, I am a sunshine girl. Gloomy days are just not my cup of tea! Gloomy days are part of life, and we have a choice to make when they come, to embrace them, or to resist them.

There is very little we can do to keep the gloom away, but I found the one thing that works is to have an attitude of praise. Praise Him for the sunshine; Praise Him for the rain, praise Him in health, and praise Him in pain.

Praise changes our environment, and we must always remember when the Praise goes up, the Power comes down. We may have down time, but there is always something to Praise the Lord for! So, the next time that sickness knocks at your door, be determined to praise your way through it and taking time to rest.

PROPHETIC WORDS AND EXHORTATIONS

A warning that we all should heed that was given over three years ago

A PROPHETIC WORD

GIVEN TO HELEN SANDERS

Just as a leaf is listless without the wind blowing against it and causing it to move, so is the one that does not let my breath come upon them, saith the Lord. For the breath of my Spirit invigorates the whole person. You have stepped into a place where you must take heed and withdraw from those things that are pulling you away from time with me. Yes, there are necessary things to do in life, but they will never compare to spending time with me and letting my Spirit breathe upon you. Did I not say that you would experience my love by praying in the Spirit? Did I not say that it builds you up? Oh, my child if you could only understand how important it is to have the wind of my Spirit upon you continuously, for it brings you refreshment and brings you guidance. Now take the time to withdraw from your busyness and just sit at my feet where you will feel my breath. I want to be so close to you that you feel my breath on your cheek. Oh, my child, if you only knew how much I love you and long for you to spend that time with me. Do not go would be my words to you. Stay with me. Come apart and let me breathe on you once again.

For what is coming of a different wind would surely cause many to be blown and tossed like a ship without a rudder. If one had only understood the course that they were to take by spending time with me, they would not have put themselves into that position. Yes, there are winds of adversity coming, but one breath from me will blow it away from you. So, come, let me breathe on you and know that my wind is not contrary. It is a wind of refreshing. Come now saith the Lord and let me breathe on you.

INTERCESSOR

Friday Thought For Today

We all need testimonies that grow our faith and encourage us. I just listened to a Utube video. This testimony is from a prophetic intercessors family. The man recounted that he had accidentally stepped on his daughter’s puppy and crushed him. The puppy was dead. His young daughter said “aren’t you going to pray and raise him from the dead, daddy?” The father was so distraught over what he had done, he told his daughter to pray. She began to say “all things are possible to him who believes. In the name of Jesus get up from the dead.” I don’t know how long she prayed that, but God! He answered her prayer and restored back to life that little puppy. Hallelujah

“Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”

‭‭Mark‬ ‭9‬:‭23‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

What have you been waiting for God to do? Is it possible that He has been waiting for you to stand and use the authority that He gave us? Something to ponder!!

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION

_____________

Today, like never before God is calling His true remnant believers to faithfully come before Him and to seek His Face. Yes, it’s time for you to sincerely stand in the gap and pray. Just know that it’s only there in God’s Presence of worship, with prayers of intercession, praise and thanksgiving... That He will still your heart, calm your fears and quieten your mind. It’s also there in God’s Presence that He will send angels of protection to those who are in danger or in need. Just remember that you’ve come too far to look back now…And I know you’ve been in it to win it. So go ahead and strike up the band for its victory time for you; Just be sure that you’re ready to receive it in Jesus Name.
