Holy Fire Warms Baltimore!

The Guilford Avenue outreach in Baltimore is always a blessing. There are usually more than 200 people in line for food. RAVEN Baltimore: (Janet, Al, and myself) enjoy ministering to the crowd, individuals, and families as they wait in line for food and supplies.

Most prayer requests are normal: for healing, provision, deliverance and reconciliation, for families and individuals, but one lady requested that we pray the doors open soon because she's cold! I told her I'd pray for Holy Fire to fall and warm her feet. After praying for a few others, she called to me and thanked me: “It worked! I'm warm,” she said. Praise God and let us thank Him; He cares about cold toes! He warms our fingers and He cares about every hair on our heads!

There are many suffering: We teach them to endure, to persevere, to rejoice in all things, to be overcomers. These people WILL inherit the kingdom of heaven, those who overcome.

And we pray for God's provision for His people knowing His promises are true.

Let us look to Him and REJOICE!
Heb 12:2 ...looking to Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and sat down at the right of the throne of God.
Heb 12:3 For consider Him who endured such contradiction of sinners against Himself, lest you be weary and faint in your minds.
Heb 12:4 You have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.

Also, consider the teachings of Paul:
What an awesome example of a servant of God, disciplined: he buffets his body into submission. He encourages us to be content, whether in plenty or in need.

But most of all, He trusts God:
Php 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Therefore, we encouraged, rebuked, and loved them. One guy seemed to be filled with light and love for Jesus,...then he lights up a cigarette, so I prayed over him against addictions, when I renounced “sex addiction"..he started asking questions.

We told him the Truth:
“These people WILL NOT inherit the kingdom of God!” Come on! It's the Truth that sets them free! Come on!
Eph 5:5 For you know this, that no fornicator, or unclean person, or covetous one (who is an idolater), has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
Eph 5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the children of disobedience.

Come on!
Every good Father chastens those He loves: do you think our heavenly Father, being perfect does not? (Hebrews 12:6)

We're still preaching holiness in PA and MD. God is coming back for a bride with out spot or blemish:
(Eph 5:27) We (the church, God's people) MUST BE READY!
We told them to read and meditate on Ephesians chapters 4&5.

Encouragement and Grace:
2Co 6:1 But working together, we also call on you not to receive the grace of God in vain.
2Co 6:2 (For He says, "In an acceptable time I heard you, and in a day of salvation, I helped you;" Behold, now is the accepted time. Behold, now is the day of salvation.) Amen!
Glory to God! We're thanking Jesus for souls, for sanctification, and for His seal upon them who call upon His Holy Name. We're praising Jesus! And thank God for the victory in Christ! Amen
