FROM THE OFFICE OF BISHOP STEVEN LIBERTY SR. CEO Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, It is truly an honor to welcome the faithful who have come back from the wilderness and their closets where they when to seek out the Lord and call upon Him while He may be found. They went to seek directions, guidance, strength, refreshment and insight from the Lord in order to be fully equipped for the walk ahead in 2014. In reality they are just beginning this year. I do not know if many of us professing Christians really knows fully what prayers entails , besides trying to complain m or impress others or God with junk from this world. Those who really understands what it means to communion with God through prayers have experience a wonderful feeling that can never be duplicated or counterfeited on earth. It is so pure and holy that you want it to last forever. It is an one on one experience and no one can do it better than you and I personally. It seems simple but it is very difficult and gets even more difficult by the hour as Satan and his forces lay snares of materialism and evil in our path. We are grateful to God for giving us the strength to walk along in prayers and humility before the King these pass forty days. Today Evangelist Favor and I were highly blessed and humble to attend service at a small Bible believing Christian Church; with a powerful faith. In terms of faith they are rank among the largest in Senegal. In this Special edition I personally want to welcome you my Brothers and Sisters in Christ back to the vineyard to again embark upon taking up the heavy yoke of Christ and plowing the vineyard even more urgently in order to combat the great spiritual malnutrition that is eating up the very foundations and principles of the Christian Church worldwide today. In this special are inspired messages of hope, love, testimonies of life battles, inspiration, education and direction. May God grant you a fruitful walk and victory in every mission you embark upon for His Kingdom . Your Humble Servant; Bishop Steven Liberty Sr.

Paperback $10.62 GET YOUR COPY FROM AMAZON TODAY! A PREVIEW: Jolissa Montoya believes God is calling her to work with the disadvantaged children in her inner-city neighborhood. There’s only one problem: The children wouldn’t be able to understand her. Jolissa suffers from a speech impediment and has a thick accent because Spanish is her first language. Ridiculed through much of her youth, she is quite shy and reticent to speak. She is convinced that what God has spoken to her heart is impossible. Impossible, that is, until one day when her confidante shows her a quilt—a quilt that depicts the life of a courageous woman. Can another woman’s courage move her to try the impossible and step out and follow God wherever He leads her? The Singing Quilt is set against the backdrop of the life of Fanny Crosby, who in addition to writing hundreds of songs was also a well-known public speaker and active in Christian rescue missions despite her disability. Readers will be inspired not to let fear or a disability prevent them from answering what they think is God’s impossible call. The Singing Quilt is the third book in the contemporary fiction “Quilt” series written by awardwinning author Kathi Macias. The series focuses on various social issues, including racial and prolife issues.

"THE FAVOR OF GOD� ! BY PROPHETESS SISTER MARY This is my testimony of the latest signs of God's favor on my life. The word of God says, "He'll make your enemy be your footstool." (Luke 20:43) Now that particular scripture was speaking of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and He gets all the glory and honor for HIS suffering on earth for us all. But, I believe, as one of HIS disciples, that it applies to me and to you who are true believers, as well. Another passage of scripture says (para) if He delights in us , He will also cause our enemies to be at peace with us. My testimony is this; just recently here in Atlanta, we have had a "state emergency" called because of unusual winter weather that native Atlantans are not used to. We had rain and then snow causing a "wintry mix" and then the temperature dropped below freezing so it caused ice to form under the snow. So, needless to say, many people were on the highways and interstate driving to or from work and got stuck in the mess of the wintry mix.
11
Even though it had been predicted, so many thought they could make it home before the bad weather happened. It ended up being that sooo very many had to spend the night on the road in their cars. Also, there were school busses that were not able to get the children home from school without getting stuck on the road all night long .Then; there were also teachers who had to keep the children at school all night. Some people got out of their cars off of the interstate after several hours of being in "grid lock".>bumper to bumper traffic and they couldn't move anywhere, and WALKED to wherever they could see a light on and could stay there temporarily to get out of the cold weather, which was about 28 degrees F. BRRRRRRR! COLD WEATHER , especially for Atlantans who are not used to our winters getting that cold or lasting that long and certainly not with ice and snow like Northerners are. Well, I was one of the few who did not get stuck on the highway or anywhere else. I was blessed with the "favor" of the Lord upon me during that whole episode. I don't take God's mercy and HIS grace for granted like so many others do until they get in a situation as I've described above. I must share this testimony because there was something that happened to me unexpected favor of the Lord through someone I count as an enemy who did a good deed to me, despite the fact that this person hasn't spoken to me in 8 1/2 years.
12
Even though we are co-workers, he chose to turn on me and be classified with the "hater's club" , as I call those who are jealous, envious, hate me simply because I am a child of God and most of all because I am a Holy Woman of God .The one I'm speaking about now , though, had to come and pick me up for work because I was not able to get a cab as I usually do. Well, the winter storm had been going on for 2 days and since I work nights, I wasn't going to be walking or thumbing a ride to work. (haha ) So, I had to swallow my pride of being self sufficiently blessed and independent before this time in getting a cab to work as I said and not having to call anyone at work for a ride, I did call. And this person came the first time, and I could tell by his darkness and the coldness about his whole outer appearance and he never spoke a word to me that he really did not want to come and give me a ride even though he could use the company's car. Then, if the first night wasn't bad enough, he had to be the one to come the second night. Now, the first night he had the dispatcher to tell me, I had to walk across and in front of my apartment complex; and then he would come slowly towards me to pick me up. But, the second night, as I was walking towards the front of the apartment complex, he came up the street, did a U turn so he could pick me up on the side that I was standing. Well, it was a "break through" because I know the Lord had to touch his heart and change his mind and he wasn't quite as cold or dark (evil) towards me.
13
That, my friends, is the "favor of God who can make even your worst enemy be at peace with you. Another co-worker who I had placed on my hater's club list, who barely spoke but I could hardly get him to indulge in even a casual conversation with me. He would never even look at me when I spoke. I guess it was his personality, but to me, he should have been able to speak, smile once in a while, and look at me. Then, I would've felt like he was at least friendly and easier to work with. So, I prayed about him and the others as well. And I truly left them in the Lord's hands because I felt and thought about them all as "dead men walking" I just couldn't understand why they all acted so hateful towards me when I had done them no wrong. Well, this second co-worker, since it is Valentine's Day, bought me a rose and a small box of Russell Stover chocolates. He just went up to the grocery store, bought it and brought it back to me. Well, needless to say, it made me happy and I gave him a hug and thanked him for his thoughtfulness. This man is married and he wasn't doing this in order to flirt with me in any way. I knew right away that it was the Lord's doing. He was smiling down HIS favor upon me through mankind. Folks, don't ever take God's gentleness, kindness, and mercy for granted. He smiles down His favor directly from heaven on me (us) every morning. And I thank HIm everyday for His favor.
14
And yet, when He shows favor through others that I least expected to get any kindness shown through , I have to shout H A L L E L U J A H because I know that truly the Lord had to smile favor from heaven, but this time, through even my enemies. it also lets me know , God is pleased with me , because He made my enemies my footstool and likewise, caused them to be at peace with me. And yes, I must add...it came from my fasting and praying consistently over the last 2 weeks. God bless you all, Prophetess Sister Mary

Harmony: By Jeff Godsown Have you ever been around brothers and sisters in Christ and it feels like an absolute place of peaceful harmony, and then been around others who seem to bring a frenzied atmosphere with them? I have, and way too many times! I have come to the place where I regret ahead of time, having made the appointment. I began to wonder and asked the Lord, am I out of place with You or what? God is so good about answering me, though His answers don’t always come quickly or even in the form of normal communication that one might expect. Sometimes in order to get an answer, I have to be in the very situation God is giving me an answer for, and actually living out the answer. I recently was blessed with just such a happening, what I walked away with was a practical application answer to my question. I got to meet with the new head of the Ministry and one of my brothers in Christ, and from the moment I pulled up next to them in our vehicles, I felt the harmonious peace of God, that passes all understanding.
16
Though I got the two of them mixed up during our greeting, it seemed to not matter, as that wonderful peace stood out all over the place. We got to spend roughly five hours together, and surrounded by different happenings, that would try to affect us, but didn’t for we were in harmony in our spirit man. One thing I have learned from any departure I have is, those things that stick out in my mind, have a strong learning value attached to them. What I walked away with this time is what the WHOLE body of Christ should be sensing, no matter what came our way; we handled it as a unit, in complete harmony with one another. Now this statement may not make sense to most people out there, but the comradely on the battlefield will either destroy the unit or it will bond that unit stronger together.

17
Everything that took place, brought about a show of watching each other’s back, in love, in solidarity, in harmony! Amos 3:3 Can two walk together, except they be
agreed?
There were three of us, and we walked together in perfect harmony, now to me; this was a most unique site and experience, for most of the supposed people of God, somehow someway have their own agendas going on. The three of us were about our Father’s business, and when any of us felt threatened or in need of watching what was happening around us, for protective measures, WE HAD EACH OTHERS BACK! There was no question about it, there was no doubt about it, there was a strong harmonious peace about it, see if you really see that in today’s churches! We stood in harmony, we stood being about our Father’s business, and we stood as warriors would say; back to back! Php 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all
understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Our whole beings showed even the overlooked
scriptures are quite true; Php 4:8 Finally, brethren,
whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Php 4:9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
Christ in the midst of us, we walked together sorting things out that needed to take place in the Ministry, and where the Ministry was headed.
18
Even this part of our time together was in total harmony, every bit of it and much to my amazement. I personally walked away from this meeting, knowing beyond all measure, not only was God in this meeting, but even what we spoke on and what we did, God had full and total charge. When we discussed God’s Word, we were incomplete agreement and in constant learning mode that God’s wisdom and understanding would prevail in greater measure, for us to convey tooters. I have sat in a room full of ministers, Pastors, and preachers, and each one of these so called God meetings, always showed personal agendas, very little God agendas. What I walked away with on this day, taught me so much about the way God wants things done in unity and harmony that ten lifetimes could not have taught me. When God is the center of your being and the center of all you do, there is perfect peace and perfect harmony in the brotherhood of believers. You will also always be able to tell by the chaotic disharmony in others’ lives, Christ, God, is not the center of their being and the center of all they do. This alone should bring those who see this dis-unity and disharmony to repentance. This sight should bring others to desiring the peace of God that breaks all bonds and boundaries. If your life is chaotic and you keep trying to gain control over it, maybe it’s time for you to repent and start learning God’s way and doing things God’s way, letting God have the total control, Amen!!!!!

One Night with the KING!!! BY: CATHERIN SKINNER Last night I spent some time with my King; He sent His Word and healed my Diseased. I cried out of my belly I have had enough of people voices ringing in my ear. Being pulled in different directions not knowing which way to go so I stood still! I said to God I do not want anyone laying hands on me, I want you to send your Word and heal me. Then I went to the last night of Revival at the synagogue, after receiving a powerful message from God about WORSHIP AND RESTORATION by Pastor Hope Benn. In order for me to receive the Restoration I needed to be in a place of Worship. I needed to quit my spirit and command peace to be still so that I could hear what my King was saying to me. I first had to come in alignment with my King, so that my ear would be sensitive to what He was telling me about being seated on the right hand of God! Restoration not as in giving me material things, but in restoring me! Something I longed for a long time now, 8 years.
21
I needed to be healed of several spiritual wounds. Wounds of which I would not allow healing to take place, but kept pulling the scabs off to keep them open; because I was already hurting and it kept me from being vulnerable to be hurt anymore. I was informed that some things happen that takes time to heal. Well according to Luke 6:6, 8, and 10 “Now it happened on another Sabbath (Thursday), also, that He (King Jesus) entered the synagogue and taught. And a man (woman) was there whose right hand was withered. I had become so weak for being out of place, alignment with God; I could not get a grip on things because my right hand was withered causing me to lose my power and authority. Therefore, I became like sheep without a Shepherd. v8 But He knew their thoughts, and said to the man (woman) who had the withered hand, “Arise and stand here.” And he (she) arose and stood. “I thank God that He doesn’t care about what others think about when He decides to do something for his children. By going to the synagogue that night I rose and stood where I needed to be to receive what I needed to receive. If I had not of gone I would have missed the most important message I was seeking.” v10 And when He had looked around at them all, He said to the man/woman “Stretch out your hand.” And he (she) did so, and his (her) hand was restored as whole as the other.”
22
As I sat there in the synagogue I stretched out my right hand even though it was in much pain as the rest of me was. I was suffering from emotional and physical pain. I had to get a grip on what was going on with me. Being dysfunctional because I had stopped worshiping my God, I became very weak in all my ways, not being able to hold on to that which I had received from God. Yet there was still a cry within telling me never give up on myself, His Spirit inspiring deep down within me telling me to hold on to my dreams and believe I have the VICTORY. Don’t allow the stumbling block to cause you to give up on yourself. Get your grip back through worship and allow God’s love to strengthen us to do whatever His Will is within and with us. In the message last night with my King, it was spoken whatever causes you to draw back, shake it off! Hold on to the revelation God is giving you. Hold on with everything you got! Get your grip back in Worship by getting in line (alignment) with God so that you can receive your Miracle. Know that it’s coming with instructions. Make sure your spiritual ear as well natural ear is sensitive to what God is speaking within you. Move forward in that which God has called you to do! Taking our place at the right hand of the Father, with a made up my mind that it was not about me, nor what has happened in the past, but what is happening now. I needed to know God greater than I have known Him in the past. Always remember that Greater is He that is within you, than he that is of this world.
23
The Right hand in the Bible symbolically represents Power and Authority. Since God is greater in you, allow Him to work in and through you for His glory and good pleasure. Trusting that He will perfect all that concerns you. Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, to God our Savior, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen!! Inspired by God, Spoken Word by Pastor Hope Benn Reflections by Catherin Skinner 02/07/2014

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PASTOR JOEL MCNABB; MAY GOD GRANT YOU PEACE & JOY

Living By Faith: By Pastor Joe McNabb To begin with I have been a minister of THE PEOPLE OF TRUTH for over 30 years, grew up a preachers kid, and our lives revolved around God and His word. Life as I knew it was God, family, and the saints. I grew loving the Lord and feeling the Holy Spirit move in my life. As children we would play as other kids, but many times we would set up church, singing, dancing, preaching, and even had healing lines. Albeit we never had much, we never thought of ourselves as poor, because we life by faith and God always provided. In my teens I strayed from the Lord, but always believing in Him. I had a part time job at 16, and explore the world outside of my faith. Drawn to the dark side you might say, I dove in head first, all the time Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s angels watching over me. Many times I should have ended up in the hospital or morgue, but continue in the pleasures of sin as a foolish son.
27
I thought I could do anything and go anywhere, for a time it was all extravagant, but the cheap trill would wear off and I would find myself searching. One night in 1978 my dad came to were I work to visit; as we talked he expressed a dream he recently had. He share he and I were in a type of army barracks, and there was a big inspection coming, and we were preparing, his bunk was a little messy, and mine was a wreck. Then the head General came into the barracks, over to my bunk, he sat down and placed his arm on my shoulder and said, “Son you have a week to get this all in order, I know you can, if you put all your effort into it” After telling me the dream dad left me to ponder, a few weeks latter he came again and said they were planning a conference in Pittsburgh, Pa and asked if I would like to go. I had been feeling so lost and the draw of the Lord I said I would see if I could get the time off. I did go with them, for three days and nights we were in God’s word, I heard and absorbed all that I was hearing. At the end of the last service we stood up to pray and the power of the Holy Ghost came down. I began to speak with tongues of angels like I had done before thinking, WOW, I thought I was too far gone, but there it was moving me again, like a soul revived from the dead.
28
I return with hope and began to serve the Lord, I had always felt God had called me to minister, so I placed my life in His hands and was willing to do whatever He would want me to. In 1980 I went back Pittsburgh with another brother and we ministered there. I was married to Nancy McNabb in 1982 and while I was in Pittsburgh, where I was asked to go on a mission to pastor. I met Nancy McNabb by way of my parents visiting the town where my grandparents lived and Nancy and I corresponded thought the mail and by phone. My mother and father met her and suggested that I send her a card and get to know her. We did and our relationship turn into a marriage. While we were in Pittsburgh, PA I was asked to come back to Massachusetts where our headquarters of the organization was, and Nancy and I moved there with no questions, we worked in the ministry there till 2006. The marriage was a good one, and we live harmoniously for 25 years, with all of life ups and downs that come with any marriages. To make ends meet while walking in faith, I worked Construction in building and remodeling business for over 30 years, to supplement my income, as the churches that I was at could not afford pay me a salary.
29
The construction business has always been up and down as the economy goes up and down, but I managed to live and take care of my family the best I could with my skills and abilities. For a few years now I have been an explorer of sorts, when I am able I get on line and surf the internet. I know that doesn’t sound very unusual, as millions, surf the net 24/7. It can be helpful in many ways and harmful also. Remember it was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The internet also has good and evil, you are probably aware of this if you have ever been online. I’m not here to talk about all the evil that we should avoid, for your own conscience is supposed to do that work for you, if it is clean. I would like give a testimony and praise to God letting the revelation of computers and the internet that opens the world to all. It started for me in the 80’s, I avoided computers and all that went with them. One computer would come out and I would learn a little about it, and then they would upgrade to a newer and better one about every other week. The times were changing much too swiftly for me, I felt that I couldn’t’ keep up with the pace they had set, a video game was as close as I wanted to get to a computer. I let those travel down the fast paced world of computers. The90’s past me by as though it was just a moment and I still could not get motivated to get involved with the whole geek thing.
30
I move into the new millennium, and there were no signs that the computer age would have any effect on my life. It was happening all around me and people from all over the world using computers, and I just let them do it. My youngest brother was the first to get a cell phone in our family; I remember asking him way back then, 1994 or 95, what do you need a cell phone for? Is wasn’t very long after that, I broke down and got a cell phone myself, in a very short time I couldn’t be without one. The Lord was busy, and I wasn’t, He had set in motion his plan for the last days and the world would soon be ready for the return of his son Jesus. And here I was letting other people do it. I felt left behind, and I saw a need for me to do something, but I felt inadequate, how could someone so far behind catch up. I heard how easy it was, that I should just do it, by the grace of God and his will I’m on the computer right this very moment. Praise God In 2006 I was sent by God to Tulsa, OK to work with some of Gods people. I left everything to see what God had in store for me and packed up and headed west. The week following my arrival, I had a job that paid almost the same money, within a year the same amount, and God had his hand in everything I did and asked for, it was amazing.

While I was in Tulsa, I had to pretty much take care of myself, when it came to the necessities, but I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind I knew the Lord was going to work things out. He wanted me to catch up and where I was wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow me to do so, because I was letting the others do it, one might say lazy when it came to computers not the things of God. The church here had a computer and I was a long distance from home and I put my hand to the wheel and use it and began to learn, most of the time it was trial and error, but became more at ease with being on a computer. It was a new world and I found that it was a marvelous world, with many wonders and signs. I still am just a novice to it all and I may never be and IT tech, but as long as I have access to a computer I will use it for the glory of God, to help usher in His soon coming kingdom. Not long after my move to Oklahoma, I mention to one of the men I worked with, that if I had a lap top of my own, I might be able to learn more and become more familiar with this brand new world. This brother and friend had a used laptop that he said, was just being used for a paper weight, because of the newer one he was using. So I used it, even though it was out dated it was just what I needed. Thank you Jesus! And I was on the new highway called the super highway the internet.
32
I am truly excited to see all the wonders of our mighty Father, the great creator of all things in heaven and earth, Col 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: I don't think that Marconi invented the radio by himself, and I don't think that the radio was invented so we could just listen to music, talk show, news and such either. God moves on man by His spirit the same way that He moved on holy men of old and they wrote what He told them to write to give us His words to keep in our hearts. So also is the computer age that we have with us today, God created it, for Him, that we could use it to spread His truth to as many that will hear before He sends His son Jesus back to earth, to rule it for thousand years. Ro 9:28 For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work wills the Lord make upon the earth. God has a work that He has been doing with man for the past six thousand years and the next thousand years He will rest and let Jesus run everything. John 5:22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: and in 1Cor 15 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
33
For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet, the last enemy is death. And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him that God may be all in all. We are living in the last days of His work here, and we see the prophetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s word coming to pass, knowledge shall be increased in the last days. Since the flight of the Wright brothers, (I think they had the right name), in 1903 to our current age of space travel has been a relatively short period of time. And the time is even closer than when we first believe. Right here in this computer age God will wrap this word of grace toward men and we can be a part of this wondrous conclusion of His work on earth. That is why I am thankful for God allowing me to see the importance of myself to get on the computer and share His word, with those that have and ear to hear. Whether it be to write a sermon, or chat with a fellow born again believe on a social network, or on YouTube, or on anything form that God has created for us to use, that it may be done to the glory of God in all things. Re 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
34
There is good and evil in everything that is created, God put two trees in the middle of the Garden of Eden, the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The creation of the computer and the internet is the same, there many things on the web that are filled with evil and should be avoided, but the good that is on it, is there for us to use to the glory of God. To spread the word in way that we once thought was impossible are now made possible, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible. I am excited to see my Jesus return and rule this earth in righteousness, and I want to do my part and be a part of His kingdom to come. Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest. There is no way I want to be left behind again. Whether on net or in the pulpit or even on the street, I want the world to know that the kingdom of God is at hand and we need to be ready. Those of us, who believe and breathe the spiritual breath of new life in Christ Jesus, need especially to be ready. For we are the supposed to be the light of the world and as long as we are allowed to let our light shine we need to do it with all our might. I will be happy see you on the web, or just chat, I chatted with my friends New Zealand, South Africa, Ireland, UK, and with my friend Kings Warrior from

British Columbia, Canada, Christian whom I have met on social networks, where many believe have come to share the love of Christ and to learn from each other. As we share back and forth you can feel the Holy Ghost moving even though we are not in the same room. On Saturday nights our group The People of Truth, have been broadcasting live since 2009, to bring those of us from other state together and search out God’s word. It is amazing to be able to share the word though we are miles apart, our mid week and Sunday services are also broadcast live. It’s nice to be there in person, but when you are unable to be together God has made a way. I am always pleased to share in what God has done for us here in wee little Paden and in Oklahoma these past 7 years. My family and I have served the Lord for most of our lives and we have always followed where the Spirit leads. My childhood seemed like we were always in church, or had fellowship with the saints at our home. Kinda like the church in the book of Acts. “And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart” Acts 2:46. We tried to live as the scriptures reveal to us in all things, Rom 1:17 “The righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith”.
36
We teach God’s word is the final say, but we don’t know the complete story until God allows us to see it in His word. We also live by the principles of the Doctrine of Christ revealed in Heb. 6:1-3 “Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. And this will we do, if God permit”. We believe as we walk with the Lord we will reach a certain level of maturity in Christ, here it is called perfection, another place it says “unto a perfect man”. “This is only attainable if God will allow us, and as He reveals His word to us. But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day”. Pr 4:18 In 1970 the church we were with moved my dad to pastor in the New England part of the US, just north of New York about 2 hours. My parents had been with that church since 1959, as they followed where their elder asked them to go, the Lord was with us. By 1972 there was some division in that church and before it got so bad, my dad decided to embark on his own with the lead of the Spirit, and God prospered our labor for Him.
37
While we were there we had several buildings we rented and also homes we used for service. Then we felt lead to purchase a building and God laid one at our feet. We labored there for several years, remodeling and maintaining the building, which we purchased for 21,000 dollars in mid 80’s. During that time we had some that decided to leave us, and it cause a finical loss, and we decided it would be better if we sold the building. Seeking the Lord all the time. We put it up for sale, and in little time it sold for over 200,000 dollars, we knew it was in the Lord’s will, and we went back to home worship. A few years later we felt it was time to find a place again so our search began, unsure of what we would be given but we knew the Lord would open the door where we should be. We looked at churches, warehouses, anything that looked large enough we could use. Finally we came upon an old nursing home, which had an old Victorian house it was connected to, and we purchased it for 75,000 dollars. If we used it, it would take quite a bit of work, and most of us from the remodeling of the other building had experience, and I was in the construction field, we knew if this was the place we could handle it with God’s help. And that’s where we were when the Lord moved me here to Oklahoma, and then at the His lead many of us came here.
38
We came for a large metropolis, of around 250,000 people plus, to this little town not knowing what the Lord had in store. When we placed the building up for sale in New England it took some time, but we finally got 375,000 for it, and when we got here in Paden there was a church building for sale, which we purchased for 50,000 dollars, a sure sign God had us right where we were supposed to be. I had left all to be a disciple of the Master, with His promise that those who would do so would receive a hundred fold in this world and the world to come. In 2011 God sent me an Angel, a wife to fill what I had lost. I met Angel through Facebook, when we were on Yahoo Messenger, we began to converse, and felt to know each other better. Seeking the Lord as we came to know each other, we saw in each other a love for God that we could build a relationship on and we did so. Her love for music, and singing for the Lord was the same as mine. The Lord said, it was not good for man to be alone and I felt God had brought us together. It had been 2 years since my first wife divorced me, and the hurt that cam with it God healed through this precious in His sight angel. We are here together working in what God has placed in our hands, faithful unto the Father of Lights, the giver of life.
39
We are a tight knit group, because we love God’s word, and there is a bond of fellowship that comes from that. As we work together to be all that God wants us to be for HIm, and His purpose, to see His kingdom established here on earth as He has it in heaven. It is our desire to see the fulfillment of all the scriptures that have yet to be fulfilled, and the words of Peter on the day of Pentecost, “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began” (Acts 3:19-21). We are living in the days of our Lord’s return, we long to stand before Him and hear Him say, Well done thou good and faithful servant, thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. May we all strive to enter in, and may the Lord bless all your efforts for His kingdom.

ADDED BY THERESA DENTON THE TRUMPET by BILL BURNS: My prophets bring forth things old and things new. The way is open for you to let go of things that are bound up in the past so that you may begin this new adventure. For, whatever has assaulted you in these past weeks, whatever has bound you, this is the day to be released and break out so that you may walk the path of My anointing in this season. I have declared that a new anointing is coming upon My people. It is a more powerful anointing than you have ever walked in. It will break every yoke of bondage. It will release the captive and will cause you to walk in a new place of authority. It will bring the manifestation of your words to fufill My purpose and to call things that are not as though they are, says the Lord. All you must do is believe. I will go before you and prepare the way of My word, and then you will follow and receive the blessings of it. SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by MARSHA BURNS: I will bring to your remembrance various people who have either mistreated or misjudged you.
42
This is for the purpose of examination to see if there is something you need to understand from those encounters or need to forgive so that you can be liberated from lingering oppression. It is My desire that you be released from the anchors of the past that keep you from moving forward in My purposes, says the Lord. Freedom awaits! Psalm 146:5-8 Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God, Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; Who keeps truth forever, Who executes justice for the oppressed, Who gives food to the hungry. The LORD gives freedom to the prisoners. The LORD opens the eyes of the blind; the LORD raises those who are bowed down; the LORD loves the righteous.

The Fathers Love: DELIA THUMBADOO It's the love season as reminded by St. Valentine and all the trimmings that go with it. Another reason for celebration, for chocolate, candy, bubbles and flowers. We do something special for our loved ones, we show our affection however grand or small, the day comes and goes and is soon another event marked off our calendars. But there's more to love, love has many names and faces and with its 'fleeting, fickle folly like nature, make it difficult to fully grasp and understand.

"Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame." Song of Solomon 8:6. "Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away. If one were to give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly scorned." Song of Solomon 8:7 Throughout History actions taken in the name of love of Country, God, King, have waged some of the fiercest battles and conflicts. How ironic then that the name of love can be used in such contexts? Love can be foiled, used deceptively for evil and wicked intent for gain and profit. Love defined simply means, "to have deep affection for", but when twisted and manipulated produces a plethora of negatives and makes what should be a pure, raw sincere feeling and emotion, ugly and tainted. Millions around the globe do not know what love is, do not know the warmth and security of Gods love, of parental love, of showing affection, being kind, gentle and understanding of one another. Broken marriages, abusive relationships, and self-centered behavior all contribute to the malfunctioning of the family unit; extending to society at large thereby breeding this repetitive ongoing cycle. God is love, He epitomizes love, and He gave His only Son through the channel and instrumentation of love. "There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love." 1 John 4:18 This is the love God purposed for us to have and enjoy, a love that is free and fearless, a love that is safe and secure in Him. "Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins."1 Peter 4:8. "And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity." Colossians 3:14 As much as God demonstrated His love for us from the manger, to the cross and the grave, He gave implicit instruction, in fact He called it a new commandment: "A new command I give you: Love one another as I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.â&#x20AC;? John 13:34-35 increasingly with the passing of time is the visible emergence of intolerance of each other, a society that reeks of condemnation, judgment and criticism. These are symptoms of an ailing loveless world. A world paralyzed in fear and trepidation. The Fathers love changes this, the Fathers Love heals, restores and forgives.
45
It teaches us the way of pure wholesome love. It esteems love as the pinnacle and foremost attribute of our lives. "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always persevere, Love never fails" 1 Corinthians 13. May the love of Jesus Christ enfold you, may the sweet fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you to comfort and strengthen you. May you experience the immeasurable abounding love of our Heavenly Father and may it flow and extend all around you.

ADDED BY: SUSAN STUBBS HYATT
"Christian counseling moves beyond the existence of God to the presupposition of God's benevolent and righteous character. It is essential to understand the balance between God's compassion and His absolute holiness. He is loving and just. Merciful and stern. Tender, yet demanding. To describe Him only in terms of compassion and love mistakenly depicts God as a cosmic Santa Claus--a benign and lightly senile grandfather figure. On the other hand, to picture God only in terms of righteousness and judgment wrongly portrays Him as a vengeful Thor who furiously cast lightning bolts of wrath upon a helpless creation. A comprehensive biblical theology is essential, therefore, for successful Christian counseling" "Why Christians Can't Trust Psychology" by Ed Bulkley, p. 261).

I don't care if you have a PITBULL that is able to rip you apart - He knows that you is his MASTER. It is the very reason it is said "a dog is a man's best friend". JESUS CALLED US FRIEND AND HE IS OUR BEST FRIEND. A dog will obey everything you say, will do everything you ask, protect you with his life - even while you are sleeping. God put it in the animals that they are beneath you.

Wait a minute - not that they don't have the power to defeat you; they honor God that has created them and said - man is your master. omg!! The dog loves you unconditionally to a fault - JUST LIKE JESUS!!! You say stay, lay down, roll over, go fetch and they move or stay immediately. Now you don't have to tell the dog - you are in trouble the dog sense it & immediately runs to your defense against any and every thing that wants to harm you!!! IN OTHER WORDS THE DOG BOWS DOWN TO YOU HIS MASTER WITH EVERYTHING INSIDE OF HIM!!!! Who are we that won't bown down before our Master???? I dare say watch all of nature and see how it responds to the Lord that created them. I love nature - I am one that loves to see the awesomeness of what our Master has done and made us to have DOMINION. When I need a word from God all I have to do it go out side and look up at the trees; because God deals with me in the elements as I sit quietly. I want to encourage you today, this day to reverence our Master - BOW DOW!!! LET EVERYTHING THAT HAS BREATHE PRAISE THE LORD. Well we do know the flowers, trees, the birds of the air and every creepy crawling things has breath and they all praise and worship God in the way they were created to. We don't see it because we need our mother and father made us.
50
Glory to God!!!! Even in the lions' den - God showed the lions who Daniel was and not to touch him. They obeyed!! WHO ARE WE THAT JUST WON'T BOW DOWN BEFORE OUR MASTER???? Final word: Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord!!! From the desk of #AJS

THE LIZARD THAT CAME TO CHURCH! BY MARGARET
Be encouraged and strengthened as you read! Blessings! The Lizard That Came To Early Morning Prayer Meeting! I arrived a bit late for early morning prayer meeting, where a fairly good number of the saints were gathered to pray; then as I sat in the pew, there it was a lizard clinging to a tree planter near to the pulpit and it seemed to say, “I love to be present where the people of God are gathered to pray!” My response was, “Lord, I just want to smack it with my shoe but it would cause quite a stir.” The lizard stayed through out the entire prayer meeting and at some point as I began walking the floor in prayer, there it stood in my path clinging to the floor as if to say, “Lord, please do not let her stomp me with her shoes!” The Word spoke, “Do not put your foot on it!” Obediently I walked pass but I did not like the lizard being there! Just then the Word spoke from the book of Job 1:6-7 NKJ. (6)”Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD and Satan also came among them.” (7)”And the LORD said to Satan, “From where do you come?” So Satan answered the LORD and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it.”
52
The lizard that came to prayer meeting turned and stared at me as if to say, “you heard the word, I am present every time God’s people are gathered to pray!” The Pastor raised the hymn entitled; Lord I want to be a Christian in my heart. Suddenly the lizard that came to prayer meeting made a quick dash to the left aisle of the church and before going out of the door looked again at me as if to say, “I am getting out of here, I do not want to be a Christian in my heart, ‘I am really the eyes for the dark world to see what you’ll are really doing for the Lord and to carry back a report. It seemed as if the lizard could not bear to hear the words, “Lord I want to be a Christian in my heart.” It turned again and gave a look which seemed to say, I must tell the boss that this church has some foot stomping soldiers who are armed and dangerous, I do not want to come back here ever again!” Abba Father Spoke, He said “My daughter, that was a demonstration of My love and mercy which is extended to everyone and every living thing. ‘I AM JEHOVAH ELOHIM! ‘Take note of how when you saw the lizard on the planter near the pulpit how you wanted to smack it and when you were walking the floor you wanted to stomp it under your feet. This is how My people treat sinners when they attend church, they want to put their foot on them so they use their facial expressions and body language to convey their negative message like the lizard who came to prayer meeting.
53
Witches and warlocks attend church services almost regularly and are not being saved and delivered because My people are failing to display my love like you My daughter failed to show love and mercy to the lizard that came to prayer meeting.” In your walk with Abba Father are you allowing the display of Jesus Christ to be in full operation as you cross paths with those who know not God? What do you do when you see a young man lying on the cold ground or the woman begging on the streets or the drunkard who shows up at church? What about the homeless and all of the young men and women who are roaming the streets without a prospect of getting a job? Abba Father is very concerned about them and our careless attitude toward them for He loves and cares about them just as much as he cares about you and me. This may shock you; God loves and cares about the witches and warlocks too! He hates sin but He loves people! The Word is speaking this time from John 3:16-17.(16)“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (17)”For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” I received my rebuke from Abba Father and humbly repented now I see from His perspective! Where ever you are on your journey take time out to examine yourself to see if you (me too) are lining up with His Word in regards to how you are treating those whom
54
you cross paths with daily as you walk to your divine destiny! “Lord I want to be a Christian in my heart” keeps on resounding and the answer is ringing like a door bell, “show love and kindness to everyone you meet and it will be evident that you are a Christian in your heart!” The lizard that came to prayer meeting will not soon be forgotten! Pause for a moment to inhale now exhale as you think about this! Much Love
