Dear friends and family in Christ, Lord bless you and grace to you from Manila! Yezekiel and I miss our family, but it’s a thrill to see the Lord saving, healing, and delivering! Tagumpay! That is “victory” in Tagalog. Also, Jill and our children at home ministered in Marietta, OH! The Word and prophetic ministry came forth! We thank Pastors Gordie, Peggy, and church for partnering with us for so long!

We first ministered 3 services at New Life with Pastor Ets! We became friends when we moved here in 2011. Eight adults came forward and received the Lord Jesus! We prayed for people about an hour after each service! We had a feeding outreach and shared at LWCC with Pastors Keith & Dell! Jesus began or completed healing itchy skin, pain in the back, leg, shoulder, throat, neck, side, and more! A man began seeing light in his blind eye, and we declare He who began a good work is faithful to complete it! We prayed for a man with prostate cancer. Later, the doctors found no cancer there! Hallelujah!

Jesus came to “save” us, which is “Sozo,” Greek for “save,” “heal,” and “deliver!” Isaiah 53 says Christ carried our sickness and pain, even mental, on the cross! Thank God that over SIXTY people have asked Him into their hearts to save them! Please pray about sowing a financial seed into this fruitful soil!

Revelation 5:6 records, “And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth.” The seven eyes of Christ are the seven Spirits of God, and They are searching. 2 Chronicles 16:9 shows, “For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him...” The Lord wants to help us with His strength, but He’s looking for hearts loyal to Him. Intimacy with God brings fruitfulness. His heart is to strengthen us through relationship with Him. We need to trust Him with the results.

The fruit of the Spirit is in Galatians 5:22-23, “But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in

our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self- control. There is no law against these things!” The pressure is not on us to produce fruit. We just need to focus on the Root, which is Jesus! The Holy Spirit does it, as He did with Mary. Jesus will show! We agree in prayer for you from Colossians 1:11-12a, “We also pray that you will be strengthened with all his glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need. May you be filled with joy, always thanking the Father...” Yes and amen!

“Patience,” or “longsuffering” from Galatians 5:22 is from a Greek word that means “patience, forbearance, long-suffering, slowness in avenging wrongs.” Precious Jesus! He alone tasted death for us! He suffered for us! Revelation 5:9 reveals, “And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals; for You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation.” Christ redeemed and saved us from our sins! He alone is worthy to open the scroll! Lamb of God! Suffering Savior! Patient Lover of our souls! May our lives give You glory! Let us go to Him again and again in all

setbacks and victories! Our lives are entwined with Him! We’re praying for you.

Love in Christ, Steve, Jill, Judah, Yisaac, Jonah, Yissachar, Jakin, Yezekiel, Jerusalem, & Justice
