We were blessed to bring in the New Year with two baptisms yesterday, a immature boy and a teen girl. The teen girl is one we admit been praying for. She alleged deliverance precise years ago, but organize was no release. A few weeks ago, she pulled her Mom now her room and told her that she wasn't really saved and popular to pocket Christ as her Savior! She had no vision that someone doubted her previous "make a note" and that numerous were praying for her deliverance. It has been a happiness to see such joy in her smile!
God is moving near here in Kenora. Keith was teaching the youth a series on Christian Joy and determined to teach the adults the self-same series on Wednesdays. We admit seen a portly transform together with the church, by means of our own domestic. It's great what happens in the function of you see that joy comes from Christ not folder. I know we all "know" that, but it makes a disparity in the function of you really Be thankful for it. Oh come on now, don't shot me you've never struggled with joy!
As someone who has been saved for any length of time knows -- in the function of God moves, Satan attacks. Command his attacks, we admit been stimulated. A cleric never really knows who in the church is behind him until such trials come laterally. Nation admit been stepping up and admit been such a blessing to my wife and me. We admit seen an increase of chance and a desire to do feud. Dreadfully, battles all told entail some casualties. Despite the fact that our hearts break for group who fall up your sleeve, Satan has in no perceptive won! It is such a joy to see Satan lose!
My wife and I were led to choose our meaning verse for 2012 back in the summer - Luke 13:33. Suddenly did we know how cordial it would be.
"Calm I Penury meander to day, and tomorrow, and the day shadowing, for it CANNOT be that a ecclesiastic fade away out of Jerusalem."
Jesus is for example threatened by the Pharisees in this distribute. This verse is Christ's riposte. As we possibility to routine His route, we too are burly to conserve on walking! We admit opt for twelve "meander in's" found in Scripture such as "Walk in crispness of life", "Walk in the Illumination", "Walk in reality"... and so on. These are what are on the route on the wall below the verse. We are going to use one each month of 2012. As a church, Triumph Baptist Cathedral is burly to conserve on walking today, tomorrow, and the day shadowing, and the day shadowing that, for it CANNOT be that Kenora must ill-defined a note of Christ in 2012.
I'm looking meddling to seeing what God is going to do this appointment. That is, IF Christ doesn't return first!
Wait on Walking in 2012!
