April 2025 Newsletter

Glory to Jesus!  It’s a blessing to reach out to you, our beloved friends and family in Christ!  Prayers are sent in the name of Jesus on your behalf.  The Lord is doing something wonderful for you, and it’s new!   The best breakthroughs are from Him!  Hallelujah!  More on that the next page; we’re so excited for what He’s shown!

The Lord put it on my heart to see if our church was doing an Easter egg outreach. They weren’t (though they do other outreaches). We offered to help do one!  Eggs were stuffed, flyers passed out, and bicycles bought!  It was wonderful to see all the joy on the faces of the children as they looked for treasure, but I felt greater joy that Autumn and Avery prayed to ask Christ into their hearts after I shared the Gospel!  Jesus saves!!!  Thank you for all of your prayers, support, and love!  The Lord multiplies your gifts to allow us to pour out! We appreciate it so very much. The Lord came to seek and save that which was lost. (Luke 19:10)  He uses His people!

We also thank Pastors Gordie and Peggy at Celebration Center in Ohio to have us minister a prophetic training!   The next day at church, the Lord had me use those trained to help our family prophesy as the Lord led!  Talk about Holy Spirit fun!  May the fire of God continue to burn more and more through all the saints.  At chapel at SCA, June came for prayer for back pain. Jesus took over half the pain away, and by lunch, all pain was gone!  We’re grateful the Lord has opened a door to minister at Augusta Trinity Church on May 4th!  May the Lord Jesus be lifted up and the Holy Spirit have His way!  May the Father’s blessing be poured out richly!  Amen!

Nothing is a mystery to our God. Only He knows our thoughts before we think them. Consider the mass amount of information out of the billions of people in history. Our Lord Jesus knows every single thought that anyone has ever had, including all of yours and mine! 1 Chronicles 28:9; 1 Corinthians 3:20 says, “...know the God of your father, and serve Him with a loyal heart and with a willing mind; for the Lord searches all hearts and understands all the intent of the thoughts…and again, “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.”” No one has any secrets from the Lord. Whatever we discover, He already knew it! Yahweh sees all, hears all, and knows everything. Since He is so kind, He enjoys sharing secrets with His children. He can reveal to us what He wants us to know. God showed Daniel what the king dreamed, and many lives were saved, including Daniel’s. He said in Daniel 2:28, “But there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will be in the latter days. Your dream, and the visions of your head upon your bed, were these: As for you, O king, thoughts came to your mind while on your bed, about what would come to pass after this; and He who reveals secrets has made known to you what will be.” 

Unless the Lord reveals something, we’re unaware it even exists. To the degree we’re faithful to know the Lord, we show we are trustworthy and able to have/carry/bear knowledge we don’t yet have. Jesus said in John 16:12, “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.” 1 Corinthians 4:1-2 shows, “Let a man so consider us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.  Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful.” We are also more inclined to tell secrets to our friends instead of strangers. Jesus says in John 15:15, “No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.” Habakkuk 2:14 discloses, “For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.”  To be aware of God’s glory, it’s the grace of God that grants it.  As Jesus told a parable, He said in Matthew 25:21, “His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’” Isaiah 6:2-3 tells that when he saw the Lord, he saw angels and heard glory knowledge, “Above him were seraphim, each with six wings…they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.” If the whole earth was full of the Lord’s glory before Christ, how much more now that the King of Glory came and brought a New Covenant? We are not as aware of it as we could be. We should believe God!  It’s impartation from the Anointed One that increases our weight-carrying capacity (faith) for more heavenly knowledge. 

The Faithful One imparts faith; He’s full of faith! Jesus is the Author and the Finisher of our faith! The treasure of faith is shown in Hebrews 11:1, 6, 11, 27b, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen……But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him…By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised…By faith…he endured as seeing Him who is invisible.”  Hebrews 12:1-2 adds, “Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Looking to Jesus while running with endurance is faithfulness.  Faith is heavenly vision that will endure patiently for God’s promises to come to pass, as in Hebrews 6:11-12, “...that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.”
