As
we enter into Rally Ranch, it is very important that we pull
together and fill ourselves with all the truth of God. Because
next week will be Pitfall Canyon. This is where Satan is going to
try and pull the bottom from under us. Please pray hard, put on
the whole armour of God (Ephesians
6:11-18). We have come too far
to give up now!
This
week God reminds us that even in the midst of our weakness, He is
strong. It is His strength that we must rely upon and not our own.
As we face the obstacles that block our paths in our day to day
lives, He gently reminds us that with Him all things are possible
(Mark
10:27)! There is nothing God can’t handle! So many times
God has asked us to tell the world of His love for them. And so
many times we reply with the words, “I can’t” or “I’m
just not good at talking to people” or any number of other
excuses that reveal our faithlessness. God beseeches us to
remember that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens
us! (Philippians
4:13) He will
ask us to do things that are beyond our
ability, but He will never
ask us to do anything that is beyond HIS
ability! He will never ask us to go, without going with us. He
will never ask us to speak without giving us the words. It is His
strength we must depend on and not our own. With this in mind,
lets leave behind our excuses and go forward in obedience and
faith! Let’s go out this week and tell the world of His love and
grace! Their lives depend on it!

Just
A Reminder…
“If
a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, And
one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be [ye] warmed and
filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are
needful to the body; what [doth it] profit?” James 2:15-16
As Christians, we should always try to share God’s love
with everyone we meet. Christ said that the way everyone would
know that we belong to him is if we love one another (John
13:35). One way to show our love for one another is to share the
things that God has given us with those who are in need. In an
attempt to show others this love that Jesus spoke of, our ladies
group has chosen 2 families and our youth group has chosen 2
elderly couples to help this holiday season. We are trying to
raise at least $1,000.00 to help meet the needs of a total of 14
people. When you pray, please ask God what he would like for you
to share.

Our
Father Is Faithful to Deliver
Called
by God to full-time Christian service, the man resigned a
lucrative job, left a specialized career of 20 years, and took
his family over 2,000 miles to a strange city to enter seminary.
He
was able to obtain only part-time employment in his profession
and his annual salary was barely one-third of what he had earned
before God called him.
The
costs of being in seminary and of keeping his two children in
Christian elementary school became heavier and heavier. When
things got too tight he stayed out a semester, but his children
went to school. Finally, his wife, who had not worked since the
first child was born, took a full-time job.
All
the while the man's prayer was to share with God his heart's
desire that he be given work in Christian service that would
make ends meet while he went to school and served his Lord Jesus
Christ.
Though
he enjoyed many opportunities to preach and to minister without
pay, full-time Christian work eluded him. He began to seek
full-time employment at secular jobs, but he knew in his heart
if he landed one that probably would be the end of seminary.
One
day a series of unpredictable circumstances arose whereby in
less than two weeks, without any effort on his part, the man was
in a full-time job utilizing his specific talents, in full-time
Christian service, and with an employer that insisted that he
continue in seminary.
God
faithfully prepares hearts in times of trial and temptation. And
when His time is right, He delivers.
