faith worketh through love letter 1-2020

Faith Worketh Through Love Letters Gal 5:6 1/20 The foundations of our faith are unshakeable they have withstood the strategies of our enemies throughout time and will continue to support us throughout eternity. You and I have not believed in vain the promises of God. In this new year allow Gods truth to become a new standard of expectation. As we move forward in time the Glory and Grace of our God will only increase. This is not my idea but the scriptures proclaim it. Rom 5:20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: Hab 2:14 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. Teresa and I would like to encourage you as part of the body of Christ to move into the grace and glory greater than you ever have. These are not the days to set and wonder what will happen but to declare boldly the happenings of Christ upon the earth. Jesus is Lord and we share the privilege of revealing him for who he is. There will be a great balance of fruit and gifts this year through those who are pressing into his presence through prayer, the word, gatherings and ministry opportunities. Our foundations of faith in Christ are not simply there to keep us from falling away under the storms of life but to support a developing work of his kingdom. God has been working globally for several years now to create the balance of mercy and power or strength within the church. We will see the ministry of mercy going forth this year in a greater way reaching the lost, hurting, sick, and underprivileged. This will be keeping in line with the Luke 4:18,19 anointing. Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. We must be ready to minister these merciful acts of God through his Spirit. This will reveal not only a merciful God of compassion and love but one of power and ability to help and not simply hear the peoples needs. What a great day to be alive and participate in the Kingdom of God upon the earth. I am not sending this through the social networks of internet because I believe that the message I am sharing requires a hearing apart from the distractions of the world. I am desiring that you would think about what I am saying and allow it to have your undivided attention for just a little bit of the day. I also desire that you might take a moment to pray about these truths and listen to God concerning them.

We will be working this year on some social ministry over the internet but there are some things that I believe require a time out from the world to think about and pray over. I am also working on enhancing our website to assist peoples need or desire to learn more or hear more. I would like to close this letter with a question, have you recognized how important your part is this year for the body of Christ and the world around you? Your prayers are a God moving support for others, your faith is mountain moving strength for others, your mercy and compassion is the revealing of Gods love and recognition to others. God is counting on you and I to be the unseen expression of who he is to them in his mercy and compassion toward them. May the blessing of God reach far beyond you and all you desire through out this year as you become his extension of heaven upon the earth. Eph 3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or Love Pastor Cliff & Teresa think, according to the power that worketh in us,
