Wildmen Ministry is a non-profit
ministry. We have no paid staff. We have no deep-pocket investors;
just a small band of brothers who love God and want to see more men
live the life of freedom Christ offers.
Therefore, any donations are gladly accepted and help to
further our cause of setting men's heart's
free.

Week of September 27, 2010
Greetings!
From John
Eldredge's book - Desire.
Echoes
from the Past
Aren't there times in
your life that if you could, you would love to return to? I grew up
in Los Angeles but spent my boyhood summers in Oregon where both my
mother and father's parents lived. There was a beauty and innocence
and excitement to those days. Woods to explore, rivers to fish,
grandparents to fuss over me. My parents were young and in love and
the days were full of adventures I did not have to create or pay
for but only live in and enjoy. Rafting and swimming in the Rogue
River. Playing in the park. Huckleberry pie at Becky's along the
road to Crater Lake. We all have places in our past when life, if
only for a moment, seemed to be coming together in the way we knew
in our hearts it was always meant to be.
There was a time
when meadow, grove, and stream,
The earth, and
every common sight,
To me did
seem
Appareled in
celestial light,
The glory and the
freshness of a dream.
Heaven lies about
us in our infancy;
Shades of the
prison-house begin to close
Upon the growing
boy,
But he beholds the
light, and whence it flows.
He sees it in his
joy;
At length the man
perceives it die away,
And fade into the
light of common day.
Wordsworth caught a
glimpse of the secret in his childhood, saw in it hints from the
realm unknown. We simply must learn the lesson of these moments or
we will not be able to bring our hearts along in our life's
journey. For if these moments pass, never to be recovered again,
then the life we prize is always fading from view, and our hearts
with it.
How is your heart doing? Is
there an echo from the past haunting you? Know that Christ's desire
is for you to have life, life to the full. I invite you to join
with your brothers this week at one of our locations so that,
together, we can pursue the life abundant. And our hearts.
Blessings to you,
Jan Broucinek

 We are continuing our series by Henry Blackaby
- Experiencing
God.
Most Bible studies help people; this one changes them
forever.
For more than 15 years, God has used Experiencing God in His work,
showing believers how to know Him intimately while encouraging them
to step out in faith and join Him in His work-with miraculous
results.
Facilitated by Rich Roberts and Pastor Bill Losasso.

The Warrior's
Prayer
Heavenly Father,
Your warrior prepares for battle
Today I claim the victory over Satan by putting on the whole armor
of God!
I put on the GIRDLE of TRUTH!
May I stand firm in the truth of YOUR WORD so that I will not be a
victim of Satan's lies.
I put on the BREASTPLATE of RIGHTEOUSNESS!
May it guard my heart from evil so I will remain pure and holy,
protected under the blood of Jesus Christ.
I put on the SHOES of PEACE!
May I stand firm in the Good News of the Gospel so Your peace will
shine through me and be a light to all I encounter.
I take the SHIELD of FAITH!
May I be ready for Satan's fiery darts of doubt, denial, and deceit
so I will not be vulnerable to spiritual defeat.
I put on the HELMET of SALVATION!
May I keep my mind focused on YOU so that Satan will not have a
stronghold on my thoughts.
I take the SWORD of the SPIRIT!
May the two-edged sword of YOUR WORD be ready in my hands so I can
expose the tempting words of Satan.
By faith your warrior has put on the WHOLE armor of God! I am
prepared to live this day in spiritual victory!
Amen
