INSPIRATIONAL NEWSLETTER

AUGUST 4, 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.

TODAY'S BIBLE VERSE

"But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty."




Matthew 13:23 KJV

WHEN GOD SAYS NO


There are three ways that I have learned that God answers prayer. The first would be yes, you may do it now. The second is not now, later. The third is a definite no.


When God says no, there is always a reason behind it. Perhaps if he answered yes to your prayer then it would bring problems. In Psalm 106 it speaks of the many times that God delivered Israel, but in verse 13 it says, “They soon forgot his works; they waited not for his counsel: But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert. And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.”


Many died because of this. God isn’t saying no just to upset you. He says no because He knows what is best for you. If you go ahead with your own plans when he says no, it is a dangerous place to be. Many have found that out the hard way.


Since God knows the beginning to the end, we should trust Him. When King Saul was told not to leave any of the Amalekites alive, [1 Samuel 15:3] he disobeyed God’s instructions and it cost him his Kingship. Then, an evil spirit overtook Saul. He could have been a great king but his own lust for power destroyed him.


I firmly believe when God shuts one door that he will open another. In His timing He will reveal the plan that is best for you when He says no.

PROPHETIC WORDS AND EXHORTATIONS

PROHETIC EXHORTATION


Take the time to laugh. Laughter is a medicine according to Proverbs 17:22 but a broken spirit drieth the bones. I have met so many people with a broken spirit that have had it affect their bones. Don't let that happen. Enjoy the little things. Laugh at things and decide to enjoy your life. After all, it is the only one you will have this side of heaven.

Tuesday Thought For Today


Who can say they have seen God?  I never thought I would be able to say that but I had an encounter with God. I don’t remember how it happened that day but I remember that we had special meetings and James Goll was speaking at our church . I remember that he had talked about drawing closer to God and having intimate times with Him because He was our Father. With those words ringing in my ears, I went home. As I sat worshiping that night, I had a vision. I saw a young girl sitting on God’s lap. I couldn’t really see His face, but it was what the girl was doing. She had cupped her hands over His face and she was running her hands over His face as if to feel everything about Him. It reminded me of a blind person and how they feel with their hands “to see,” what they were touching. It impacted me so much as I watched. I finally asked God, who that little girl was and He said, “It’s you.” To this day I remember how I felt as I was touching God’s face. He not only allowed me to touch His face but I was sitting in His lap. I believe that He allowed me to see that vision because I had been asking if I could see Him.



He is a good Father. I believe that I saw myself as a young girl, because God wants us to come to Him as little children. Little children can trust and believe so much better than adults. They have faith that we sometimes forget about as adults. God wants to show us so much but we have to come to Him as children.


Psalms 27:8 My heart says of You, Seek His face! Your face Lord, I will seek. Do not hide Your face from me…

It is amazing what God will do when you ask to see Him. He has just the right encounter for you. So ask and keep asking til you have had your encounter with Him. Amen and amen!!

BARBARA TOWER

PROPHETESS

SEER/INTERCESSOR



We can't ever let the blessing become a burden. When God sends the increase or overflow, there comes greater responsibility. God considered that before He sent it. Sometimes the "greater in God" shows up first before His provision for you to handle it all. He has to call forth "the troops" to help manage and provide for the many needs that come with "more" or greater in Him. Sometimes it comes forth in "Helping hands" and "Greater provision". Yes, provision is needed when God "expands your tent" or "enlarges your territory." Sometimes when you have a bigger crowd to feed, you have to get a larger pot to cook in and need more help in the kitchen.

 
 
 

  

 Good Works! HCC

 

    Good works are the greatest!

A helping hand, to lift a friend.

                    A business to help others in this world.

 So many good works,

And they make our hearts feel so good.

 But do you know,

Good works won’t get you to Heaven.

 Only Christ and giving your life to him.

Only that, will get you there. Just turn it around.

Christ first, and then good works.

Look to Christ’s face, the Crown of Thorns.

A person giving his life for you.

For forgiveness of your sins. This person, God’s Son.

He’s the inventor of good works.

Come to his Cross, be made new.

His body was pierced, yes for you.

Then go boldly with your” good works.”

And your Savior will smile at you.
