Message of the Month
Sept. 15th Entering the Rest of God
Restlessness pervades societies around the globe.
People desire rest, quietness within, peace.
Rest implies settling down, ceasing from
our labors and striving, taking a Sabbath. In the Old Testament we read of God's Sabbath rest when He ceased from
His creation activity (Genesis 2.2; Hebrews 4.4) and of Israel's rest in Canaan (Deut. 12.9; Joshua 21.43-45; Hebrews
3.11). When times were good, God gave Israel rest, or a time of peace from war with other nations.
"Rest" illustrates the spiritual
experience in our journey as believers.
Hebrews 4.9 says that there remains a rest for the people of God. Sabbath rest pictures our rest in Christ through
salvation. First, it is Jesus who gives us rest. In Matthew 11.28 He says, "Come unto Me all you who labor
and are heavy laden and I will give you rest." This rest of salvation is something we receive as we come to
Christ and the light of the gospel enters our darkness to dispel the forces of darkness and to cause us to receive
the life of Christ. It is the Son that reveals the Father (Mt. 11.27), and Jesus shows us the way to enter into
God's rest. This first rest is the rest of salvation, and it gives us peace with God. With this first rest, we
are freed from the penalty of sin.....more

Sept 2008  Race for the Crown (121k) pdf
We’re in a race, not to earn or merit eternal
life, because eternal life is a free gift of God’s grace merited by Jesus Christ who lived and died and rose again
that those who heartily put their confidence, reliance, and belief in Him might receive Him. In receiving Christ, we receive eternal life; for Jesus lives
by the power of an endless life.
We’re in a race for the believer’s crowns. We are to endure hardness and fight the good fight of faith. We are
to overcome. We are to fulfill the destiny that is ours in Christ Jesus, living out the purpose for which God created
us. We are to be witnesses unto Him that loved us and that brought us out of bondage, out of darkness into His
light, redeeming us with His own precious Blood.....more 121k

Run to the Prophets or Hear From
Me 8/9/08
Now hear what the Sovereign Lord says,
for the time is short and My people are perishing for lack of knowledge. My people run more to the prophets than
to Me. Is this the time of Moses? Have I not given, poured forth My Spirit that Mine might hear and obey My Voice?
Have I not rent the Veil that Mine might enter into the Holy of Holies to receive from Me? Have I not put the Law
written on the heart that My people might respond to My grace and be blessed? Am I a God afar off and not near?....more
I am shaking foundations
in heaven and on earth. 10/3/08
O Watchman on the wall, watch as I the Lord of heaven and earth cause nations to rise and nations to fall. Is.
40. Am I not glorious? And who is it who opposes Me?
I see the hearts and I know what is in man's heart. Men's hearts will fail them for fear. I am shaking foundations
in heaven and on earth and everything that can be shaken will be shaken....more

Ethiopia Mission Report and Pictures - Feb (80k).pdf
There is no place on earth like Ethiopia.
It has its own unique culture, history, calendar, way to tell time, geography, and church. It is truly another
world....
...
To our surprise we find that Ethiopia is considered the head of all African nations. The Eighth Africa Union Summit
was preparing to meet at the U.N. building starting Monday, January 29th. Leaders from 40 African nations come
together to discuss the problems and issues of Africa. They came with their entourages, Mercedes cars, flags, and
much excitement. Security was high. The weekend God chose for us to be here was no accident....more

Spiritual Guidance for Hurricanes
and Disasters
Some Helpful Articles
Call 91:1 Twenty Four / Seven Dec. 2001
What is our comfort with terror striking
its targets daily? What can we do when
we find ourselves falling into worry and fear and anxiety and even panic?...
Storms: Spiritual Torrents Sept. 2004
With Frances and Charley over and Ivan on
the way, I am reminded of storms and how we handle them emotionally.
Some people panic, others are anxious but try to hide it, others are in a buying frenzy right now, some have a
plan and are putting it into place and others have no plan and ride out the storms by default. Some Christians
pray and others plead and beg. Some use platitudes to carry them through and others find their roots deep enough
in Christ to keep them unshakeable during the times of turbulence and spiritual torrents....
The Comfort of the
Scriptures Jan. 2005
My children have asked me, "Do you believe
God now?" When Charlie the white
cat was struck down in the road purposely by a teenage driver, "Do you believe God now?" When Grandpa
had a full-scale stroke that left him paralyzed for ten years, "Do you believe God now?" When six animals
died in one year, "Do you believe God now?" When two grandmothers died in one year, "Do you believe
God now?" When their daddy lost his job, "Do you believe God now?" When the hurricanes came and
earthquakes and floods left a path of annihilation unparalleled in human history, "Do you believe God now?"...
In Everything Give Thanks Nov. 2005
Well, folks, we thought the hurricanes had
passed, but Wilma breezed by October 24th with 110-120 mph winds leaving the Florida peninsula south of Lake Okeechobee
(about ½ of the state) in devastation.
Electricity is lost at 8:00 a.m. as transformers pop and a large olive tree falls to block the street, barely missing
the neighbor’s living room. Water is out. Phone lines are down. Tree limbs and leaves cover the ground on every
street. Downed fences reveal whatever they were meant to hide, or protect, or conceal. Power lines dangle as streetlights
crash to the roadways....
Giving Thanks When Adversity
Strikes Nov. 2006
When a heavily armed outsider violated the
peace and security of a small one-room schoolhouse in the Amish community and shot execution-style 10 girls but let teachers, aides, and boys go free, the
nation was shocked and outraged at the evil. Five girls aged 7-13 died, and the shooter killed himself; yet the
Amish community found it within their hearts to minister the grace and forgiveness of Christ before the watching
world by forgiving the assailant and extending forgiveness and financial help to his family. How?...
Psalm 93
The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with
majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that
it cannot be moved.
Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting.
The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves.
The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.
Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, for ever.

Prayer
for the Persecuted
Heavenly Father,
I come to You as Your servant on behalf of those
who are being persecuted for their faith in Jesus Christ around the world. I desire to intercede for those who
are too weak or too oppressed to pray for themselves. I lift these up to You as those who have been bought with
the precious Blood of Jesus Christ. I appeal to You on behalf of the New and Everlasting Covenant of grace. I come
boldly to Your throne of grace to obtain mercy and to find grace and favor for the persecuted in the Body of Christ....
