Dearest Saints,
Blessed be the name of the Lord! He is moving in the midst of His people.
He hears when His people cry out to Him. And it seems more are crying out theses days than ever before in my experience. Some of you were able to be at the all night prayer at the Ark this weekend as worship and prayer and supplication came forth. Can you feel the drawing, the wooing of the Lord? He will have a people of faith in these last of the last days. There are plans being made for other gatherings of worship and prayer that will take place in various places around the Shoals in the days to come. Praise God, for I feel that this is in direct answer to many prayers for unity and agreement across the Body of Christ in our day!
Father we thank You for making our valleys of Achor – the places of our greatest defeats and discouragements and wounds – doors of hope! We declare that the power of hope deferred is broken in our lives because we have this hope as an anchor for our souls – that our lives depend on two unchangeable things: Your nature and Your word in which it is impossible for You to lie. You are not a man O God that You should lie or a son of man that You should change Your mind. Do You speak and not act? NO! Do You promise and not fulfill? NO! You have commanded blessing over us and it cannot be reversed. We declare that we have fled to take hold of this hope offered to us. We have returned to You, our Rock and our Fortress our Deliverer and we have become prisoners of hope! We hear now with the ears of faith You announcing that You will restore twice as much to us in this day!
Hosea 2:15, Hebrews 6:18-19, Numbers 23:19-20, Psalm 18:12, Zechariah 9:12
Remember the play this Saturday afternoon at 2:00. Also the chili lunch and cookie sale after the meeting on Sunday. Come hungry for the Word and hungry for chili! All the proceeds and donations from the play will be given to the New Life Ministry and the Sunday chili lunch and cookie sale will go to the China orphanage. I am humbled that the Lord gives us these opportunities to reach out to hundreds and even thousands across the Earth to see His glory revealed.
Once again I exhort you to come with expectancy to our meeting this Lord’s day. We shall see His wonders in our day!
In His Love… parke <><
