Dear Ones,
I want to expound on my favorite
scripture with you today:
John 14:1-6 Let not your heart
be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are
many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to
prepare a place for you. And if I go and
prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that
where I am, there ye may be also.
And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not
whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the
truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
This is actually the basis of my Good
Friday message, but that is way too lengthy to put into this newsletter! So let me give you a couple of nuggets and
then update you on the mission trip.
This word “go” in verses 2 & 3 is
not the same word in verse 4. Which is signifigant because of what Jesus is
actually saying, if you break it down.
Jesus is saying here: I am going before
you. I am leading you over and transferring you to My Father’s House! And where I am leading you, bringing you
under Myself and My Father’s House and all its benefits, you know. And the way, the road, the journey, the mode
or means of transportation and course of conduct you know.
Thomas contradicted him at this point:
Lord we do NOT Know! We can’t see any road, or passageway, do we go by boat, or
donkey or camel? We cannot tell where
this place is, so how can we understand what you are talking about? Or how to
get there?!
Then Jesus said the most wonderful
thing! I AM the Way! I AM the covenant
that Yaweh made with Abraham! And I am
here now to seal that Covenant forever for all people, for all time! I am your
road! I am your means of transport. I am
what your journey is all about! Not only
that, I am The Truth! I AM your personal truth, in any and every situation. I
AM your accepted manner of conduct and behavior. Whatever you are considering,
I AM the Truth- the Guide, the measuring stick! And I AM The Life. I AM your
vitality, in Me is the fullness that you seek. The very essence of being! I AM your reason, I AM your season upon this
earth, I AM your nourishment and energy.
Which is why Paul could say in
Col 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the
power of darkness, and hath translated us
into the kingdom of his dear Son:
He has opened the WAY (The Covenant) to
all of us. Every Promise in Christ is YES! And AMEN! (So be it!) He translated
us out of the Kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom the HOUSEHOLD of God! He has led us out of the hands and power of
the enemy and carried us over into the Blessings of God!
He carried us over into our Promised Land,
just as the priests carried the Ark of the Covenant over the river Jordan so
the children could safely pass into their promised land! We can safely pass into our promised land;
our land of Promises in God, for here and now, and our Heavenly home when we
die!
Hallelujah! And that is EXACTLY what I will be sharing in
Nigeria! That He is our God of
breakthrough! So, whatever smacks of death, He has come to bring to life and
put newness in our life. Glory to GOD!
Pastor Titus in India sends his
Greetings. We are hosting the monthly
Pastor’s meeting on Mar. 25th.
I’ve already sent my message to him to begin translating for the
meeting.
Pastor Benjamin sends love and
greetings. Says he misses all of you. He
just planted a new branch church! I have
lost count…that is either # 13 or 14 or 15 now!
Pictures enclosed of latest crusade!
Here is his report:
Dear Mama, We made it there and we made it home 10 hrs
drive to and fro safely. God was so
awesome!!!! We preached Jesus with such
a passion and over 60 souls came to the Lord.
We planted the Church too. Pstr.
Mugabe had a house Church that comprised of 2 pple besides his wife and 4 kids,
but by the time we left on Saturday the Church was over 30 pple and on Sunday
the Church over flooded with pple. Someone donated a piece of land to the
Church and the Lord also provided for the construction materials, Praise
Jesus!!! Its time to hunt for souls,souls, souls!!!! Love, Ben
I covet your continued prayers and am so
grateful that you are my family! Please
find enclosed my itinerary and prayer points.
Also, prayer needed because of much resistance to the crusade in Idah…
many complications have been arising.
But BREAKTHROUGH is ours! Amen?
GLORY! Love and hugs, from Tom
and me.
And Thank You for the lovely
Anniversary last week. Blessings, Nancy
