Hang On to Faith

FAITH IN GOD AND HIS WORD WILL PREVAIL IN THESE TRYING TIMES. Isaiah 11:11 "The LORD shall set His hand again the second time to recover the remnant of His people."

The Remnant are the overcomers. Those tried in the fire and have come forth as pure gold. So rejoice, these are great times. The trying of our faith will make us ready to receive the blessings of the promises.

Proverbs 13:13 "Whoso despiseth the WORD shall be destroyed: but he that fearth the commandment shall be rewarded."

God said it, and I believe it!

How about you? Do you believe? This is not the time to doubt. This is the time for FAITH!!

Set Your Focus on Jesus

"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world
giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." (John 14: 27).

"An be renewed in the Spirit of your mind;" (Ephesians 4:23).

So many people are professing fear of losing their minds to Alzheimer's disease, or to the overwhelming economic circumstances that they find themselves in today. However, God's word promises that IF you remain Focused on Him and His word those fears will not overtake you. Only believe, and have Faith that you will overcome.

We are so prone to think that true happiness consists in our positive circumstances, but it does not. Circumstances are the finger of God pointing us in the direction He wants us to follow. Even the storms will bring Glory to Him and eventually peace and happiness to us if only we believe.

I must remain focused on Jesus Christ and His promises; not on worldly distractions that will try to confuse and defeat me. I purpose in my heart and mind to be an overcomer. To rule and reign with Jesus Christ, seated in the heavenly places, is all that matters to me now. I surrender ALL!

"Set you affection on things above, not on things on the earth,"
(Colossians 3:2).

God's Tsunami - understanding Israel and End-time Prophecy

Price: £8.50

By Peter Tsukahira

Peter shares that he is witnessing the greatest move of the Holy Spirit in Israel since the days of the Bible. God is clearly doing a new thing. This book aims to bring revelation rather than explanation about where history and biblical prophecy meet. Peter immigrated to Israel in 1987 and after the Gulf War met David Davis. Together they pioneered a vision for a congregation that was truly ‘one new man’, where Jews, Arabs and other gentiles worship together in the unity of the Holy Spirit. The preaching of the Gospel in Modern Hebrew and the existence of indigenous believing congregations in Israel are powerful fulfilments of prophecy. In 1996 the Assembly built the first Messianic Worship Centre on the highest point of the Mount Carmel ridge. It is a ‘house of prayer for all nations’ and a prophetic statement of God’s purpose to make Israel a light to the Gentiles. David Davis and Peter Tsukahira are both speaking at the Ellel Ministries’ conference ‘Arise’ next February in Blackpool. Many of the events that are making news today were foretold by the prophets of Israel thousands of years ago. The fulfillment of biblical prophecy is joining the destinies of Israel and the nations of the world. The shockwaves of this convergence are generating a spiritual tidal wave of change affecting all the earth. God's Tsunami meets a very urgent need among Christians today. It brings out the biblical significance of the contemporary restoration of Israel - first political, then spiritual. Peter provides information that sheds light on some amazing miracles that many believers in the twenty-first century have not been equipped to appreciate. My prayer is that God will use this book for His glory.

Derek Prince; Jerusalem: Peter Tsukahira was born in the United States and is now a citizen of Israel. He lives with his wife, Rita and their two children, Eden and Daniel on Mt Carmel in the city of Haifa. Peter is director of the Or HaCarmel Ministry Center and co-founder of Kehilat HaCarmel, an Israeli Messianic congregation. He is ordained by World Challenge International Ministers' fellowship founded by Rev. David Wilkerson and serves on the Board of Directors for Church Growth International founded by Dr David Yonggi Cho.

Catch Me Lord!

Do you ever feel like your falling from Grace?

Sometimes you might feel that way but know this, Father God's everlasting Agape Love will always catch you.

You always have a way of escape in Jesus Christ.

"Abiding in the Vine"

John 15: 1-11

I recently discovered, through some painful lessons, that as long as I abide in Jesus Christ, and His Word, I can minister Life and liberty to hurting souls in distress.

However, if I break my connection to the "Vine," my source of strength and life, I will begin to wither and eventually die spiritually. My purpose for living and ministry will fade away from neglect. Consequently, I will have to take a place in line with the other souls in distress waiting for deliverance and healing.

To be a "castaway" is death. To be separated from the "Vine" is death. Therefore I must remain focused on Jesus and His Word. I must reject all distractions that try to divert my attention and devotion to a strange god, strange fire, or idolatry in any form.

To be effective in ministry I must endure pruning. I must forgive all hurts. I must be purged of all selfish motives so that I can flourish and bloom for and with Jesus Christ. To bring God glory must be my mission, and my first priority. I must be about my Father's business and bear much fruit for His kingdom. Then and only then will I know true peace and happiness, while experiencing the Father's abundant love that emits from the "Vine."

"Sing unto the Lord a new song; for He hath done marvellous things:...," Psalm 98: 1 (KJV).

"Sing unto Him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise," Psalm 33:3 (KJV).

Singing with Grace in your heart.

Praise Him.

Worship Him.

Thank Him!

Sing from your heart. Sing from your spirit. Sing a new song unto the Lord!

Release all your worry, release all your stress. Give it all to the Lord.

FRIENDSHIP

Someone once said, "to have a friend you must first be a friend." This is so true.

Friendship is a tapestry of woven trusts, cares, sacrifices, and the greatest of these is love.

Friendship doesn't expect something in return for everything given.

Friendship is not rude. Rudeness is becoming a bi-product of our times.

Friendship listens and does not need to always answer.

Friendship does not compete with friends. It rejoices with them.

Friendship is loyal and protective. It does not expect perfection.

Friendship is quick to forgive and ask for forgiveness.

Friendship does not smother its friends.

Friendship speaks words that heal not hurt.

Finally, ask God to put kind words in your mouth and pour out His Agape love for others through you. and you will always have at least one or two friends that will stick by your side.

Little Boy Lost

All of his heroes one by one lost their heads;

No one to believe in,

No one to inspire.

All hope gone.

Only death, destruction and pain.

Ease it, ease it.

Drug it, drug it.

Now it won't complain.

Now he can't complain.

Pass away the day,

Pass away the night,

Pass away the year,

Pass away the life.

Wake up! wake up!

Reach for the light, grab salvation,

Hope in Jesus Christ and live.

AGE IS NO EXCUSE

Dr. Irving Lorge, a psychologist at Columbia University discovered through a series of tests that older people lose nothing in mental power if they will keep up their active interests. The ability of the mind to think and create, baring illness, is with you until age of 90 and past. “Your body gets old,” Dr. Lorge says, “but not your mind if you care to use it. The mind never retires!”
A host of dramatic historical instances point up this fact:
1. Rodin the sculptor did some of his finest work after age 70.
2. Michelangelo was 70 when he painted the frescoes in the Sistine Chapel.
3. Verdi composed the opera Otello at age 75.
4. Falstaff at age 80, and Anatole France age 80 and Thomas Hardy at 88 were in the full flush of literary creation.
5. At age 98, Titian painted the Battle of Lepanto.
6. In addition, don’t forget Grandma Moses who began her painting career at the age of 70. One of her paintings, Fourth of July, still hangs in the White House today.
7. Now you can turn to the Bible and cite numerous saints who were used by God after the age of maturity.
Therefore, whatever Father God has put in your heart to do for Him to bring eternal life to others, don’t hesitate because of age. That is a diversionary tactic used by the enemy.

God is Not a God of Recession

"The Lord knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be forever. They shall not be ashamed in evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied," (Psalm 37:18-19)KJV.



I found this promise from God's word today and I'm holding onto it as I go through this time of testing that is upon the earth. I believe this word because God can not lie. He is the only one I know who I can trust to be honest and truthful with me at all times.

However, all of Father God's promises have a conditional "if" attached to them. If I continually seek God daily and meditate in His word daily with great diligence, I will be able to stand strong on His promises.

STAND STRONG

Don't be moved away from your faith in God's Word. Instead be encouraged, Father God will keep us and His promises to us during this trying period gripping this nation. The children of God will not know poverty, hunger or a recession for;

"Through God we shall do valiantly: for He it is that shall tread down our enemies," Psalm 108:13 & 60:12(KJV).

The prices of gas, food, housing etc., may rise and rise but we shall not be moved. We look to Father God to supply all of our needs, not to man. He is our Father and He will provide. Search His word and find His promises. Hold them in your heart and believe them.

Above all, keep the Faith and do not believe the evil reports on the news. Believe God and His Word more so now than ever before. Remember His past faithfulness to you. Do not give up. Do not be discouraged.

"Cast all your cares on Him because He cares for you." (1Peter 5:7)KJV.

This is a time to rejoice as we witness the supernatural working of the LORD during ths period of stress and famine in the land. Rejoice!, the time for Jesus our LORD and Saviour to return is drawing near. And again I say Rejoice!!

Our Nation Is In the Grips of Fear

"Fear Not" is what the Word of God says over and over again but, what is so often the case, very few people heed the words of wisdom found in the Bible. Anything that takes away your freedom or your precept ion of freedom produces fear.

That's what happened to me when I was having a constant diet of the morning news, the afternoon news and of course the evening and late night news. Fear began to creep over me and I was experiencing panic and anxiety instead of faith and peace. I gradually lost sight of God's word that clearly says in:

2Timothy 1:7 -
"For God has not given us the spirit of fear;but of power, and love, and of a sound mind." (KJV).

Fear negates Faith. Faith leads and fear drives. Both demand to be fulfilled and both demand your attention. Both have access to your thoughts.

I Overcame fear with prayer and a renewed mind. I went back to feeding on God's promises in His word that He would never leave me or forsake me, or leave me hungry and begging for bread. I meditated on His faithfulness and gradually my peace returned.

I realized later on that fear is a sin because, it doubts God's ability to fulfill His promises. Consequently, I repented and then I was filled with a "peace that passes all understanding."

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you:not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not you heart be troubled neither let it be afraid." John 14: 27 (KJV).

I Can't Help Praising His Name

I am ever so thankful that Father God is real and His Word is true, (John 7:28 & 8:26 KJV).

He sent His Word and healed me, (Psalm 107:20 KJV).

During the month of March I literaly walked through the shadow of death with Father God at my side, and going before me, and covering my back. Surrounded by His presence and knowing in my spirit that it was not yet time for me to surrender my soul to the dust I persevered in prayer and faith.

I cried out and He heard me, He saw my tears, and He healed me, (Psalm 30:2).

Good health, perfect health, sustaining health is more precious than all of the money in the world. Never, never, take it for granted. If you have it, guard it with prayer and thanksgiving along with proper eating habits and a moderate lifestyle.

Be Blessed!

God Keeps His Saints

As long as we walk in love and forgiveness toward others, Father God will keep us from all the storms that come against us. This is one of His precious promises.

However, we must trust in the Lord and Not be afraid or doubt His ability to keep us. We must keep our minds filled with God's word in order to have the victory.

"Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our Faith...." (Hebrews 12:2).

This is where Faith plays a vital role in walking in love. We need Faith to believe what God has promised will manifest in our lives. Try to be thankful for where you life is now and surrender all of yourself to God, then His agape love will enable you to walk in love towards others.

He sent His Word and healed me.

I stand in awe, at the healing power of God. That I can cry out to Jesus for healing, and He hears me, and heals me is an amazing wonder to behold. His Word is true! His promises are true!

His healing power is not just a one-time event, but it is, in fact, continuous whenever I need it. Sometimes I don't have to ask and I never have to beg. God is a good God.

Sickness and disease never glorifies God, the healing does. I pray to be in God's perfect will for His will is not for me to be sick but to walk in health all of my days.

"Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper an be in health, even as thy soul prospereth." (3John 1:2).

To me prosperity is good health. No amount of money can buy good health, and no amount of riches can make my soul to prosper, only God can. As my faith and my devotion to God grows so does my soul prosper.

Prayer Is The Key

To be spiritualy independent of God by making decisions apart from praying for His guidance and His will on the subject is a very risky venture. This type of independence invokes a spirit of self-sufficiency and grieves the Holy Spirit.



When we pray to God in the name of Jesus, He puts a hedge around us which is like a spiritual immunological system to prevent demonic oppression and interference toward our prayers. We show reverence and honor, as well as obedience when we consult God in prayer.



Next, we must wait for an answer before acting if we do not want to act amiss. It doesn't matter how long it takes to get a right answer, patience will bring blessings and the right decisions.

SPIRITUAL GEMS

Jesus wouldn't have said, "follow me," if it wasn't possible. For this purpose He became a man and lived on earth to show us the way.

Anytime you try to be anything other than a Christian, you are out of place.

Jesus is the Master at making champions out of failures.

Stay always in an attitude of expecting a blessing.

God deals with no two individuals alike.

In Jesus we loose nothing worth keeping and we gain everything worth having.

Selfishness keeps you from totally yielding to the Lord and walking in His Word(ways).

The world offers you a peace based on circustances and a love based on conditions.

NEW YEAR RESOLUTION

THIS NEW YEAR LET THE FIRM RESOLVE OF YOUR HEART BE TOWARD MORE PRAYER. OUR LOVE OF GOD IS EXPRESSED THROUGH PRAYER.



Our nation is in a spiritual civil war;

• Pray for darkness to be removed by the glorious light of Jesus Christ penetrating through the souls of men in charge of making life changing decisions for our country.

Pray for the change in government leadership to be God's will and not man's.

Pray for the boundaries of our nation to be safe and secure from the raging anger of terrorist.

Pray for our country to be spared from the shadow of famine and economic collapse hovering over our monetary system.

And finally, pray for the deceived minds of lost souls to be set free in Christ Jesus.
