“Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people."
"God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."
Merry CHRISTmas!

A "word" for the Church
“In the next season of life for us as a church we will experience God in new ways – We must be prepared for His coming – He is exposing, pruning, testing our hearts through various trials. When trials come to your life and to the life of the Church realize that God is at work – He is moving – embrace the test, embrace the changes, learn the lesson(s) and apply it to your lives. Remember that we are called to live by faith – sometimes that means that there are bills to pay and no money, sometimes that means that we risk our reputations by speaking or acting in obedience to God. Sometimes that means that we don’t know what our foot is going to land on or even if it is but we step anyway!”
“The Presence of God will bring with it newness – revival, renewal an excitement and a passion about God and the things of the Kingdom but it will also bring with it a new fear of God and new call to holiness and purity. The days of playing church and pretending, hiding behind a mask will end. The gifts of the Spirit will be in full operation, yes the healings will come, The word of knowledge will be working with the word of prophecy and the hidden things will be exposed. Get and keep your heart clean and pure – be open and honest with God, allowing Him to enter every area of your life.”

Not by Might
"This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: "Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit," Says the Lord of hosts." Zec. 4:6
There will be times when obeying God will lead you to impossible situations. If you look at your own skills, knowledge, and resources, you will become discouraged. However, when you became a Christian, God placed His Spirit within you. You now have the resources of heaven at your disposal. The success of your endeavors will not depend on the way you use your own resources but on how you obey the Spirt of God.

Some men's sins....
1 Tim 5:24-25 "Some men's sins are clearly evident, preceding them to judgment, but those of some men follow later. Likewise, the good works of some are cleary evident, and those that are otherwise cannot be hidden."
2 Tim. 3:9 "...but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all..."
Those that have hidden sin in their lives (we all do to some degree) will not get away with it. Sooner of later it will be exposed. Bring it into the light and deal with with now. You will not progress or grow in the things of God until you do. And you may well save yourselves much shame, pain and embrassement.
