Hello to all the Saints of the Lord!

We continue to see the Lord dealing with His bride to get her cleaned
up for His return. Sometimes it is rather ugly as the Lord, turns to
the Father in heaven, and says “Father,  I’m not marrying
that!…clean Her up”…remember, the quicker you yield your soul, the
less damage you will do to your spirit.

The Holy Spirit is represented like a dove in scripture..the dove is
one of the most sensitive birds, gets spooked really easily. So how
gentle was Jesus for the Holy Spirit to alight upon him at his
baptism? How are we to allow the Holy Spirit to alight upon us when we
are driving;talking to people; around our home;dealing with
customers;with those who are waiting on our table at the corner
bistro? Are we the type of people whom the Spirit of God can rest on,
entrust us with, and empower us for the work of ministry?

Someone has said that dealing with money are the baby steps in walking
in the Spirit. Well, even though we have been living by faith for 19
years, I still feel like I am in diapers! The one solid,no compromise
in our budget is the tithe…even when we were on food stamps,
unemployment,WIC, we still tithed $25/week from our $247/week on
unemployment back in 1990(for a family of 6)
Yet the Lord provided for us, we never not paid a bill, and we had
saved $500 over the first 6 months we were on it!

I know the economy is tight…we all fell it…but please honor the
Lord as Abraham did, and give to the ministry/church were you get fed.
If you are not getting fed, and have talked to your leadership about
that, or are in a church that is all form, and is not preaching a
God-centered gospel….find another place to go fellowship….the time
is too short to try and change the church system of man. But please ,
for the love of God, be in fellowship/community…this is no time to
be a lone “arranger”…trying to be the Holy Spirit and fix the
church…He is very capable to do that, and you are not..

This week, we are in Acts 27…Paul’s shipwreck..Anchor’s away m’
boys…fascinating analogy of the anchors which held Paul’s ship
during the storm, and Jesus, the anchor of our soul in times of our
storms in life.
Remember, April 11 is our Seder/Israeli folk dance service for
Easter…Please come with a potluck dish, your dancing shoes on and
ready for an anointed evening!

Blessing on you all,
P&T et al
