Happy New Year

Good Morning,

May you have a Blessed New Year in 2013!

In honor of God, the Holy Scriptures and my wife (Holly, her favorite verse):

Psalm 133:1-3

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

It is like the precious oil upon the head, running down the beard, the beard of Aaron, running down on the edge of his garments.

It is like the dew of Hermon, descending upon the mountains of Zion; for there the Lord commanded the blessings --- Life forevermore.


May the body of Christ dwell in unity like never before.

Count your blessings, you never know when they will depart.

To My Wife

My Sweet Holly:

I love you very much. 24 hrs ago, the Lord called you home. My heart is broken, I want you and need you here. But, I know now, you have your total healing. You fought a great battle and proven a lot of people wrong (even doctors) in this. Truly the Lord gave you strength in all of this. You are an amazing woman of God, a precious wife and an awesome mother. You were my strength (in the natural) as we pressed along in the ministry together. You were such an encourager and uplifter. Truly, as your friend said, an Angel sent from heaven. We laughed, cried, rejoiced, hurt together. Since you left this earth, Peyton and my heart truly aches for you. Peyton loves you very much. He adored you like no other. He truly was a mama's boy. It has been hard to try to tell explain to him what has transpired. I have been through pain before but not like this.  No matter what, through life or death, may the name of Jesus be glorified!

Holly, YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL!

You were truly example of a Proverbs 31 woman.

Psalms 116:15
Precious in the eyes of the Lord is the death of His saints.

We love you very much (from your boys).

Kevin and Peyton

Emmanuel/Immanuel

Good Morning,

The Lord is Good!!!

Matthew 1:20-25

But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins."

So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying:

"Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel," which is translated, "God with us".

Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife,

And did not know her till she had brought forth her firstborn Son.  And he called His name Jesus.



No matter what you go through.  No matter what the name of your trial is.  No matter what kind of tribulation you have, remember that God is with us!

Even though the doctors have given my wife a month to live, I can still say Emmanuel, God is with me!

To my wife:  Even though death is knocking, the circumstance seems lost, Emmanuel, God is still with you!

We are praying and believing that the Lord is going to raise you up for His glory!

Some spiritual advice from a healing evangelist of times past (Smith Wigglesworth):  I am not moved by what I feel, I am not moved by what I see, I am moved but what I believe.

Revival Sayings of the Old

Good Afternoon,

Matthew 5:4

Blessed are the pure in heart For they shall see God.

May the following quotes from trailblazers in the Lord be a blessing and challenge to you:

God loves with a great love the man whose heart is bursting with a passion for the IMPOSSIBLE.
- William Booth

Revival is when God gets so sick and tired of being misrepresented that He show Himself.
- Leonard Ravenhill

A baptism of holiness, a demonstration of godly living is the crying need of our day.
- Duncan Campbell

Study the history of revival.  God has always sent revival in the darkest day.  Oh, for a mighty, sweeping revival today!
- Adrian rogers

A revival, then, really means days of heaven upon earth.
- D. Martin Lloyd-Jones

If revival depended on you -- your prayers, your faith, your obedience -- would your church ever experience revival?
- Del Fehsenfeld Jr.

You never have to advertise a fire  Everyone comes running when there's a fire.  Likewise, if your church is on fire, you will not have to advertise it.  The community will already know it.
- Leonard Ravenhill

May we all catch on fire for the Lord!

Follow Me

Good Afternoon,

Matthew 9:9

And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom:  and he saith unto him, Follow me.  And he arose, and followed him.

Follow in the Greek means:
a. To be an attendant
b. To accompany
c. To go with or follow

When you break down the Greek word Akoloutheo, it means:
a. way
b. To move quickly
c. Straight

The individual calling to follow Jesus involved abiding fellowship with Him, not only for the sake of learning as a scholar from his teacher, but also for the sake of the salvation known or looked for, which presented itself in this fellowship.

The first thing involved in following Jesus is a cleaving to Him in believing trust and obedience, those cleaving to Him, also following His leading, acting according to His example.  Hence the constant stress laid by the Lord Jesus upon the need of self-denial and fellowship with Himself in the cross.  Thus following Jesus denotes a fellowship of faith as well as a fellowship of life, sharing in His sufferings not only inwardly, but outwardly if necessary.  Such outward fellowship with Jesus, however, could not continue without inner moral and spiritual fellowship. (Lexical aids to the New Testament)

Jesus is calling out - Follow Me.  Will you quickly move toward Him or will you move in a different direction.  His direction is the straight and narrow, the other direction is the broadway.  The call is out, will you arise and follow Him? 

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth and the life:  no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6)

Memorial Day 2012

Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day that we (Americans) set aside to honor those that have died while serving our nation.  May 5, 1868 was officially proclaimed Memorial Day by General John Logan.  It became an official federal holiday in 1971.

I am thankful for the all the men and women who have died while defending America.  My prayer is that those family members and friends would be comforted with the love of our Lord and His peace that passes all understanding. 

You see, if anyone knows about giving the ultimate sacrifice, it would be our Lord Jesus Christ.  That upon Calvary, He shed his blood for the remission of sins.  That whosoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.  Loss of life isn't fun, neat or even cool.  The reality of it, is that someone had to pay for it.  Yes, our fellow Americans paid for our freedom with their life.  Do we really understand that and do we really appreciate it?  As those that paid for our freedom with their life, so did Jesus pay for our freedom.  Not naturally but spiritually.  It cost Him everything.  But, to those that receive it, it's FREE!  Not a thing we can do to earn it.  Do we really understand what He did?  Do we really understand about eternity?

I think a fitting verse for Memorial Day would be in 1 John.  Remember, the bible says so in the natural, so in the spiritual.

1 John 3:16

By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us.  And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

Blessings
