“That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving...” Psalm 26:7

Vol. 13, No. 8 August 2004

Dear Family of God:

I still feel the pain every time someone thinks he just can’t make it. We are battling areas of our mind, will and emotions in which God is trying to heal and deliver us. Until we get these lined up with God’s Word and God’s Will we continue to stumble and fall. But thanks be to God, all the pain and agony of seeing others fail is overridden with great gladness and joy when one finds repentance and the truth is imparted into his innermost being. Yes, the power of God’s blood and forgiveness brings us to a place where we fight back and will not be defeated no matter what.

All that God is requiring of us today is to do justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with Him. This is what enables us to be changed and truly transformed so we won’t allow any temporary failure or setback to stop us. God knows what is in our hearts – He knows what we are capable of. But He is looking for those who will fight on and overcome no matter what happens.

I know you hear this from me all the time. But when you are actively involved in people’s lives and see how the enemy is trying to destroy, then you, too, will rise up and fight the good fight of faith for the sake of others.

I don’t want to be left with people who have been snatched out of the fire and just barely been saved. I believe with the Lord that we are called as a Royal Priesthood to be followers of Christ all the way to the cross. As priests, our lives must evidence the transformed life about which we speak.

Well, glory. We are getting through. People are truly touched by this marvelous work of the Holy Spirit in our time. Will you be one of these overcomers?

In Christ,
