MORNING EXPRESSIONS FROM GOD'S WORD

Sunday 31, 2015
EARLY MORNING MANNA
Revelation 22:1-3
22 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
NOTE: These scriptures describes some of the beauty of our heavenly home but I wanted us to notice especially that the Lamb that was slain for our sin is sharing God’s throne and because of the sacrifice of God’s Lamb, there is no more curse and his servants are now with him and shall serve Him. Amen

THE MIRACLE CONTINUES

EXCERPT FROM "FIELDS OF GRACE"

When I made my announcement to surrender to preach; the Holy Spirit fell upon the Church, my wife was slain in the Spirit and seen wonderful scenes of heaven!

NICARAGUA CHURCH PLANTING FOR JUNE 2015



GREETINGS
3 John 2 “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. As the Apostle John wrote this prayer request to God’s children, I am copying him today with the same pray request for all of those who received this letter.

WAITING
I suppose you might say that our ministry of Church Planting is sitting on hold at this time. We are praying and waiting for the Lord to reconcile some problems within our fellowship so we can move on with planting churches in Nicaragua. We ask you, our mission friends to please make this a matter of prayer and I am sure this problem will be solved and we can continue as we have these past years. Maybe this is a time of waiting and testing our faith to depend more upon the Lord for the ongoing of our work. We find in Isaiah 40:31 the Lord speaking, “They that wait upon the Lord shall RENEW THEIR STRENGTH; they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run, and not be weary, and they shall walk, and not FAINT!” Yes there comes a time when God says it is time to stop and wait upon me until I renew you with my strength which never grows weary. As little as you and I may know, that is the kind of strength it is going to take in the days ahead of us. We need to be preparing to reach out with faith for God’s covering of grace which contains all the assets of God Himself.


YOU’RE PART OF THIS
MINISTRY
We have always regarded you, our friends as being the back bone of NICARAGUA CHURCH PLANTING because our friends who have carried the vision with us have shouldered the load of prayer and expense. You are the ones we have turned to and trusted in to help us carry out the vision of planting churches in Nicaragua. The record shows a good report of what has been accomplished in these years of this labor of love and we trust it shall continue until He says, well done my good and faithful servant, come inter into the rest of the Lord. Don’t forget that you have the greatest part in this and when the rewards are passed out you will be there to receive yours.

KEEPING IN STEPT
Our intent is to keep all our mission friends informed what is going on at the present time. At this time we have churches to build, we have a large church that we have informed you of that has not yet been completed; which needs the roof completed on it. At this time our mission fund is not adequate to finish this project, we are lacking another 1,000 to finish it, and if you feel led to do so we would appreciate it so very much. In the month of June we will have one of our mission team members fly to Nicaragua to look over the circumstances and try to solve our problem there, again please help us pray for this transaction to take place.

MORNING EXPRESSION FROM GOD'S WORD

PROVERBS 16:7

7 When a man's ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.

COMMENT

It would be nice to have some friendly enemies today, don't you think?

EARLY MORNING MANNA

EARLY MORNING MANNA
John 16:33
33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
NOTE: The chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and we will never face an obstacle that he has not already overcome. Never a rough road that he has not traveled, not a valley and a mountain that he has not already overcome in order that when we come face to face with those obstacles we can know that without a doubt that Jesus has already been there. Friends of mine, walk close to Him today, He is your strength. Amen

FIELDS OF GRACE

"ANOTHER MIRACLE'

My mother said, Billy would you like for me to pray for you? That night I found out that what I had been so fearful of that was the very thing that could prolong my life.

If you have not received a copy of Fields of Grace I encourage to to get one. It will help you to get trough tough times with God's grace covering you. If yo haven't discovered that God is for you all the way, this book will help to make that real to you, He loves you very much and will never leave you.

Fields of Grace excerpts

EARLY MORNING MANNA

Philippians 3:8-10

⁸ Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,

⁹ And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

¹⁰ That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

NOTE: Just to know Him is worth more than everything that we might gain in this world. Our righteous came by the law, the righteous which is of God comes by faith in Christ Jesus and this righteous can bring to us the knowledge of the power of His resurrection, the fellowship of His suffering and make us conformable to His death, which will bring us into the fullness of His presence. Amen

My first day of posting.............

This is my first day of sharing from a blog spot so I would really appreciate everyone letting me know what you think of the blog and responding to it. I will try to share from day to day something of inspiration and faith to help us make the day a bit better which at this time I think we all may need a little or maybe a lot of that, and if you have comments that would help reinforce my strength in faith, I would sure be thankful. There has never been a day like this day when the strength of men is waining away and we need to join hands in the Lord and hold up each other's hands, even as Moses"s hands were held up by Aaron and Hur as Joshua fought Amalek in the valley. When the hands of Moses grew weak and could not stay up any longer by his own strength; Aaron and Hur would reach down, one on one side and the other on the other side and raise them up, this is what you and I are going to have to learn to do for each other.

EARLY MORNING MANNA

OUR DESIRE SHOLD BE TO GIVE THE LORD A PLACE TO SWELL IN OUR LIFE.

Psalms 132:1-4

Lord, remember David, and all his afflictions:

² How he swore unto the Lord, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;

³ Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;

⁴ I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,

⁵ Until I find out a place for the Lord, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.

NOTE: David desired a place to set the Ark of the Covenant, the present of God. He desired to make a habitation for the presence of the Lord, today our greatest desire should be to give Him a place in our heart and life, a habitation for the Lord a place to live in us. Amen

IT STARTED WITH A MIRACLE

(from FIELDS OF GRACE)

I threw my clothes into a suitcase, hoped on a bus at midnight and headed towards home and friends, I had been straying long enough!

EARLY MORNING MANNA

EARLY MORNING MANNA
There is a REST in Christ
Matthew 11:28-30
28 Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
NOTE: Jesus speaks of two kinds of REST in these scriptures and there is a dire need of both in humanity today. We need rest for our physical bodies so they can maintain their functions for life and unless they get that rest the body will wear itself out quickly but a far greater need for rest is in the soul of man, in the soul is where the wars are raging, and only Jesus can offer a rest that will still the soul of the raging storms of life, the storms of fear. Fear is gripping the soul of man today concerning the things that are seen coming upon the world. There seems to be no solution for this fear but right now Jesus stretches out his hand to us and says, COME UNTO ME ALL YE THAT ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST. Amen
