Dear Friends,
I am expecting a year of amazement of our God and praise for Him in 2018.
We have seen the hand of the Lord move again and again this last year. When only He could rescue and save – He rescued and saved – always in a way none of us could have anticipated.
The visible battle against the “darkness” has kept God’s children more engaged than any Star Wars series could captivate us. What is more exciting than battling right alongside of the angels – of having our prayers used to tip the scales for righteousness. No – we weren’t observers in some darkened theatre, we were the ground troops. We were the air-men. We were the sailors on the sea.
And more than this, in the Star Wars series they are still fighting with the same equipment they used in 1977 (when the film first was released.) But not so with our Father’s children.
In the same thirty-one years, we have received upgrade after upgrade of our spiritual equipment. We have been growing and maturing – planting our feet and sharpening our weapons. We have been plunging deeper into God and also raising higher and aiming truer.
The children of God are part of the most exciting saga that has ever existed.
For many years we could not see behind the boulder where the enemy had been hiding. Oh, but now we see him. We prayed that the Lord would expose him and He did. The Lord flushed him out into the open.
But because we see him now we must not become lax. Instead, we must persevere. We must double – triple our prayers, coupled with righteousness living so that our prayers may be heard.
These are the times for which we have trained. These are the times for which we have been preparing year after year. Let it be said of us that during this small portion of earth’s history they pushed the enemy back – out of our families – out of our churches – out of our government and out of our lives.
CELEBRATIONS OF CHRISTMAS PAST.
This was the front door of the ministry for Christmas.
Here is the front of the Guest House. (Even though it is not ready to receive guests, we did not want it to feel left out of the Christmas celebration.)
