3 weeks

Here we are 3 weeks and 1 day since landing in our new home in Alaska and already I can tell that the Spirit of God is moving here. We have seen 3 people come to Christ and others are inquiring about Baptism and the Christian life. We are staying busy with trying to keep up with Corban and Collin along with hanging out with new friends and church. A day doesn't go by when we don't welcome someone into our home to fellowship.

I want to thank everyone for praying for us. It has come apparent that we are on the mission field. Things too vast to tell. But, let me ask you join me in a battle. Not one of the physical nature, but one that touches across the World. You see, we as Christians have a power inside of us that can reach across mountains and oceans. PRAYER!

Ephesians 6:12-14
"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm......

I Corinthians 4:20
For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.

It is time for us to become as humble as a servant and as bold as a child to come before the Father to submit our request to see his power demonstrated in the lives of his people. Let us not lay down to the things of this world but let us be more than conquerors. Go forth and proclaim the gospel in all the world. There is a lost and dying world out there that can not be seen with the naked eye. I have witnessed accounts of heart ache and sorrow in lives of people and we as simple people can do nothing to ease the pain. But, in prayer and by the power of God we can and will see lives changed forever! The curse is to be broken and the enemy will not have victory for Jesus is our victor. Let us continue to unit in prayer and praise the Lord to break down the strong holds in Alaska, Alabama, and across this world. I sense so strong in my spirit that we are in the last days and our lives here on this earth are but a vapor. Thus, we need to call ourselves into action to reach our family, neighbors, enemies, and strangers for the gospel. For Jesus came for all the world to save us...John 3:16 and 17. Let us run the race to win. The call that God has placed on your life is irrevocable so step out anointed one and do what you have been called to do in your place in the body of Christ for God's purpose. Let us Love one another and all those around us by no longer holding the Joy of the Lord for ourselves. Love is action and people need to see true Love...full of grace and mercy with abundant joy.. Love is a choice..we chose to act or we chose to sit back. Let us Love through Jesus to the world around us.

Father God,
I thank you for the miracle of your existence. I come to you now to lift you up and praise you in your holiness and perfection. Thank you for choosing to love us through your Son Jesus. Thank you for loving us first. Thank you for giving us a reason to exist. I pray for every person that reads this prayer that you would ignite a fire inside their hearts in which they can not contain. I pray that your Spirit convicts us of our sins and sets us back in our rightful place with you. I pray that your power will be manifested in our lives so they are changed forever. Heal our hearts and our hurts, oh Lord. Fill the cracks in our lives with your holiness, grace, and mercy. Cleanse us and take our guilt so that we can hear Your voice clearly. In hearing may we then responded. Just as Isaiah stood in your presence (Isaiah 6:1-9) may we come into you presence before Your throne to be cleansed. Show us what a true relationship with you is like. Lead us into your path Lord. Bless your people Lord and guide us into your pathways. Keep us from the evil one and destroy the attack of the enemy that may come into our path. Revive us Lord, in ways that we have never seen or experienced. Make your Word real to us and those around us. Show us Your truth. Give us wisdom, knowledge, and understanding of your Word. Thank you Lord for hearing our prayers and speaking to us. May we be quick to listen to you and not make excuses any longer. Revive us Lord, Reivive us, set our hearts a fire! In Jesus name....Amen.
