Beloved

God the Father blessed His Son:

Mat 3:16 And Jesus, when He had been baptized, went up immediately out of the water. And lo, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting upon Him.
Mat 3:17 And lo, a voice from Heaven, saying, This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

God, the Father, calls His Son, God, and appoints the Son as ruler over all:

Heb 1:8 But to the Son He says, "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.
Heb 1:9 You have loved righteousness and hated iniquity, therefore God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness above Your fellows."

Blessed be the Name of our Lord, above all powers. Amen

God, the Source of Hope

OVERFLOW:

Rom 15:13 I pray that God,
the source of hope,
will fill you
COMPLETELY
with joy
and peace
because you trust in Him.
Then you will overflow
with confident hope
through the power of the Holy Spirit.
(NLT)

In Christ Jesus,
Our Lord and Savior,
Amen.

Praise Report in PA!

HalleluYah!

God is so good! It's difficult to see sometimes when we struggle, but faith comes by hearing and my pastor told me--God is good--and I faithfully responded:
ALL THE TIME! Amen.

Thank you saints for this time of dedication, prayer and fasting. You KNOW it is worth it because the harvest is coming in!!

ONE MORE FOR THE KINGDOM!

Saturday, on the corner of Pine and Walnut, in York, Riccardo rushed out to thank us. He'd just gotten back from 7 days of rehab. Praise God, saints--and ALL GLORY TO CHRIST-OUR LORD and SAVIOR. We have a believer who asked and received. He stood confident that day when he made his prayer request. He heard the Word, received it, and it took root. There was and is suffering in this task, but now, we know--- God will continue the good work he began and continue to strengthen this man, heal his wounds and relationships. Please pray for Riccardo and his family.

We're praying for Edward William, Jr, also, but (I promised I would not blog about his testimony) --and we're praying for the kids.

Be Blessed.

Again, much thanks to you, my friends in Christ!
see you soon,
Donna

The Thief

Third Day:

I've been reflecting and marveling at the bold blatant honesty of Third Day's lead singer. He must have been able to relate to this guy on the other cross, who knew his shame and confessed, "Lord remember me."

The thief who called on the name of the Lord and confessed while being persecuted was welcomed into the kingdom that day. What a beautiful Savior we have. What a wonderful God---to send His Son, and what a wonderful Name--Jesus. He laid down His life for me. I can't get over it!

I must boast in His power, just a bit, for His glory--the power of Christ to save:

He set this young man, Dennis free from heroine and now Dennis is street preaching. On Saturday, he knocked on the door of a house where he used to get high, and told them there's a better way. Yes, Amen! What joy there is in Truth! He's free---he never has to be bound to that addiction, again. Never going back!!

Amen--never going back. Let's move forward, Saints.

I love you for your love.
I love you for your prayers!

I love you for your endurance and faith.

I love you b/c you love Jesus
....and the lost.

God bless you
and Happy Valentine's day.

Your sis in Christ,
Donna

GRACE IN YORK

THEREFORE--REPENT! TURN TO GOD AND BE SAVED--convert so that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord. (Acts 3:19)

Grace, Gideon and Dennis on Pine and Walnut

PREACHING REPENTANCE:
Mar 6:12 And they went out and proclaimed that men should repent.



GOD IS COMING BACK FOR A HOLY PERSON-
Eph 5:27

AGREED:
YES, AMEN!
PREACHING TO DION
AND PRAYING FOR STRENGTH FROM THE LORD



WE WERE PRAYING FOR RAMOS when this guy, Ed (bottom rt pic), steps in to pray with us, but he really wanted to give "us some of what he has"--it is NOT JESUS!
OBSCENITIES AND FOUL LANGUAGE FLOW FREELY FROM HIS MOUTH...with NO RESPECT...HE CONTINUED TO TELL US THAT HE'S SAVED WHETHER HE DRINKS AND CUSSES





"CHRISTIANS?"
AT THE LIQUOR STORE!

IT'S WHAT COME OUT OF A MAN'S MOUTH THAT DEFILES HIM-
OUT OF THE OVERFLOW OF THE HEART SPEAKS THE MOUTH.












Pro 27:9 The heartfelt counsel of a friend is as sweet as perfume and incense.



EXCUSES? JUDGMENT:
Rom 2:13 For it is not the hearers of the Law who are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified.

ABSTAIN FROM STRONG DRINK:
Num 6:3 he is to abstain from wine and other intoxicating liquor, he is not to drink vinegar from either source, he is not to drink grape juice, and he is not to eat grapes or raisins.


Heb 10:26 Dear friends, if we deliberately continue sinning after we have received knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice that will cover these sins.
Heb 10:27 There is only the terrible expectation of God's judgment and the raging fire that will consume His enemies.
Heb 10:28 For anyone who refused to obey the law of Moses was put to death without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
Heb 10:29 Just think how much worse the punishment will be for those who have trampled on the Son of God, and have treated the blood of the covenant, which made us holy, as if it were common and unholy, and have insulted and disdained the Holy Spirit who brings God's mercy to us.


Mar 7:20 "It is what comes out of a person," he went on, "that makes him unclean.
Mar 7:21 For from within, out of a person's heart, come forth wicked thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,
Mar 7:22 greed, malice, deceit, indecency, envy, slander, arrogance, foolishness....
Mar 7:23 All these wicked things come from within, and they make a person unclean."
