Since we have confidence
Good News! I am writing today to remind you that are “blessed with every spiritual blessing by Christ Jesus”. (Eph 1:3)
We had such an incredible week of revival this past week. Every guest minister spoke the Word of God with such boldness. God did mighty things for all those in attendance. If you were not able to be in the night meetings, they should be available on video cast @ www.cityworship.com by the end of this week. I know your pastors will be listening to them over and over! And church, as always, we want to thank you for YOUR faithfulness in attendance and in you giving to our guests. We were able to really bless each minister because of your generosity. We are praying for a one hundred-fold return on every seed sowed! AMEN!
As we wrap up the last week of our fast, let’s really press in to finish strong. I know for myself, as the last few days approach, I seem to get weary in well doing but this is the time we must stay focused and not quit. These days are so important in the life of our church and in your lives as well. We must hear His voice and follow Him with all our hearts. Remember this, fasting doesn’t change God—it changes us and believe me, we are all being changed, “from glory to glory!” As a reminder, our corporate fast ends Saturday evening at sundown; however, if the Lord leads you to continue, be obedient. God will bless you abundantly as you consecrate yourself to Him.
As I close this writing, I want to leave you with this powerful passage of scripture from Hebrews 10—
19Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, 20by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, 21and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. 23Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. 24And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. 25Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
Church, we believe “That Day” is upon us and whatever we do for the Kingdom of God must be done now. As we finish consecrating this first month to the Lord, may His Kingdom be established in us, may His love pour out of us, and may our lives represent His saving power to a lost and dying world like never before.
Have a blessed week and we look forward to seeing you this week, either in prayer on Wed night @ 6:30 or Sunday morning @ 9:00 for Equip and 10:00 for our Sunday Explosion!
Blessings,
Ps Joe and Becky and the team
