YOU are having an important part in REACHING THE WORLD with
God's Message -- in CHANGING THOUSANDS OF LIVES -- and preparing to
CHANGE and SAVE THE WHOLE WORLD when Christ comes -- VERY SOON,
NOW! NOTHING ELSE is important, compared to this! It's not only
your very great privilege -- it's YOUR RESPONSIBILITY -- the same
as it is mine! Your part is just as necessary. I need your
prayers for me, personally -- it is not easy to adjust to getting
back on the air after so long a time off. I need your help --
PLEASE!!!
We have entered the MOST CRUCIAL YEAR of this great
worldwide WORK. It's time for all Co-Workers to get on their knees
-- with fasting and prayer for this WORK -- to heed God's
instructions to us in Joel 2:12-13: "Therefore also now, saith the
Eternal, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting,
and with weeping, and with mourning: and rend your heart, and not
your garments, and turn unto the Eternal your God, for He is
gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and
repenteth Him of the evil."
In some respects this month of February is the most
difficult of the year -- for it is the shortest month. There are
fewer days in which income is received, yet the month's
expenditures are the same as others. We do get 29 days this month
("leap year"). But it will be a more difficult month financially.
And if you have a larger sum you are not free to give, as
a tax-deductible contribution, at least PUT IT TO WORK WHERE THE
LIVING CHRIST IS GUIDING, DIRECTING, AND BLESSING GOD'S WORK, until
you need it -- or until you may be free to release part or all of
it as a deductible donation -- on a loan basis.
But always so great a Work has great NEEDS i- and the need
is especially urgent now. I earnestly pray God's richest blessings
on all who, with me, are Christ's Co-Workers in the great Work of
the living GOD! THANK YOU!
With love, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
