blessing, that there may be sufficient that we may FOLLOW where
our living Christ opens doors that His Gospel may go in GREATER
POWER!
Read Romans 12, and as you do, ask yourself "Am I really
presenting my body -- my whole self -- as a living sacrifice?
Have I allowed myself to return a little to being conformed to
this world?" As you read this chapter, apply every sentence to
YOURSELF.
Read II Corinthians 13:4-5 -- and, as it says, EXAMINE
YOURSELF, as you pray -- as to what extent Christ is really
living His life IN YOU!
Read Matthew 5:6, and ask yourself, "Have I been really
HUNGERING and THIRSTING for RIGHTEOUSNESS -- or have I allowed a
little hungering and thirsting for the world and material things
to enter my mind?"
On this fast day, try praying for one solid hour, then
reading and studying the Bible for one hour -- then THINK about
what you have read and prayed about in meditation for one hour,
then start all over again, with an hour of PRAYER.
Brethren, Jesus has said He will NEVER LEAVE US NOR FORSAKE
US! HE is the Head of this Church -- I'm not. But I'm His called
and chosen servant, and He is using me to send you this letter.
Meanwhile, I'm examining MYself, -- I've already been FASTING and
PRAYING twice, before and during the writing of this letter.
Turn to Psalm 139:1-5, and apply it to yourself.
Then, finally, I'll give you the passage that was my
mother's favorite verse: Psalm 133:1. Pray for that complete
UNITY among ourselves, in LOVE. And remember, Jesus said: "By
this shall all men know that ye are my disciples: if ye have LOVE
one to another." Let's forgive one another, love one another.
If the living CHURCH OF GOD will now raise up its voice to
God in repentance, and in obedience and in FAITH, as ONE POWERFUL
VOICE, we may see a result such as the early Brethren of this same
Church did, as recorded in Acts 4:23-31. You, yourself will think
of many other Scriptures to read, to apply to yourself, and to
study.
Colossians 3:1-25. Dedicate yourself anew to this.
Brethren this past Feast of Tabernacles marked the TURNING
POINT in our returning closer to God. NOW LET US UNITEDLY SPEED
UP AND INTENSIFY THAT DEDICATION AND RETURN TO OUR GREAT GOD!
I pray daily -- often several times daily -- for all of YOU,
and I NEED YOUR PRAYERS FOR ME! Thank you, from the bottom of my
heart!
With deep love, in Jesus' name,
