GOD’S grace & blessings to you all in JESUS’
mighty name,
What a great year GOD has blessed us with ! It has been a incredible
time to be a servant for our Creator. If you look around the country
you can see devastation in every aspect of life. ‘If’ you watch
the news you will always be worried about what’s going to happen.
That’s the reason I love Isaiah 41:10
(and don‘t watch the news), Fear not, for
I am with you, be not dismayed, for I am your GOD, I will strengthen
you, I will help you & I will uphold you in MY righteous right
hand. What a promise to hold on to. What is HIS righteous
right hand ? It is JESUS !! The solid rock that stands forever
at the right hand of GOD interceding on our behalf, praise HIS
Holy Name !!! Some say that they can’t live by that promise, but
I assure them that all can. Joshua 1:8
is also another promise to hold on to plus it comes with great
instructions : This book of the law shall
not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day &
night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that
is written in it, “for then” you will make your way prosperous
“and then” you will have success.(NASB))
Praise
GOD!! By reading, studying, speaking, praying & living the
Word of GOD not only can you succeed, but you will succeed. It
takes work & dedication on your part. But it is not just going
to church whenever you feel like it, it is a daily life style,
a relationship with our Heavenly FATHER. We want to visit HIM
like relatives when we need something, but HE wants us all the
time & we should feel the same about HIM. HE should &
‘must’ be first in our lives.
We just gave GOD praise for Beth-El Genesis Worship Center. March
was our first full year & what great things have we seen.
Many say that we must not be doing too good because our congregation
is not booming in numbers. Well, first of all, we are not operating
on numbers like traditional churches, but rather equipping those
we have with the full gospel to help all that is in need; mentally,
physically & spiritually. Now check some of the real numbers.
This year alone we have been blessed to feed over 200 families
having over 523 people, several accepting JESUS as savior, many
being loosed from bondage & even more being touch by GOD &
being healed in their bodies. Just one case is about a beautiful
12 year old girl that was under the bondage of fear, not eating
for months, not able to walk or play, having to be carried or
using a wheel chair & always sick. The doctors did all they
could, but could not help (Mark 5:26).
By the leadership of the Holy Spirit they came for the first time
to worship with us. The young girl was carried by mom & placed
in a chair. After service she was anointed & prayed over and
GOD removed the curse of fear, she raised up on her own and ‘walked’
out healed. She started eating & playing and for several weeks
continuing to get better. What a great testimony of our FATHERS
love. Praise and honor to our FATHER who still works miracles
in 2009. What did we do, preach the full gospel & JESUS did
the rest (Mark 16:15-20). Praise
GOD, HE is SO good to us all, if we just let HIM. Many things
are happening & we are just waiting & expecting even more.
I would like to thank all of you that have helped in any way,
making it possible for us to reach these people. We want to reach
more !! In Roman 15:26-28 we see
two churches (they were gentiles before being born again) eagerly
wanting to give material things to the christian Jews that were
in need. In Philippians 4:15-20 we
see Paul thanking the church of Philippi for their support of
gifts. They supplied Paul when no one else was. He enjoyed an
abundance of all his needs & said that they were well pleasing
to GOD. Each one of you that have given to this family & ministry
have truly been a blessing to us. But not only to us, but the
hundreds that come thru this outreach. Paul states in verse 17,
Not that I seek the gift itself, but I seek for the profit which
increases to ‘your’ account. The gift was needed for Paul
to spread the full gospel, but he prayed that the profit of their
gift be added to their account or that they be blessed & profit
from giving to GOD’S servant. We thank you so much for giving
so that people can be saved, healed, delivered from the lies of
this world & loosed from the oppression of satan. That was
the ministry of JESUS & HE wants us to continue the same ministry.
Again, thank you for all your gifts, because getting the full
gospel out takes a lot, but I pray right now that GOD bless &
prosper your account according to HIS riches in glory. Know we
love you & pray for you. III John 2
