As this holy season begins and as we look within to contemplate the gift of salvation that has been given to us, we may find things that we need to change. A fresh sanctification, a growing moment in our dedication to our Lord and Saviour! When this happens there will be "outward signs" of the inward change. The ashes tell us we have inventoried our inner man and have set a fresh course of action to draw nearer to God!

I Tim. 4:11-13

Do we see God in our trials, our waiting periods, our difficulties? God continues to desire to reveal Himself to His people. He reveals Himself in Jesus, our Saviour, and through the Power of His Word and the comfort of the Holy Ghost!

Holy, Holy, Holy, reverberates throughout heaven as our God is Worshiped! It is a sound heard perpetually around the Throne of God according to the Revelation in Scripture!

His love is not a starry-eyed feeling, but it is strong and tough as a "wooden executioner's cross" and as eternal as a universe beyond time.

"I will establish My covenant with thee, and thou shall know that I Am the Lord!" Eze. 16:62

We are the receiver of an awesome covenant given to us in the blood of His only "ways" that God has led us these many years. God was reminding them He had led them for those 40 years in the wilderness and He continues to lead us today.

The Wind of God surrounds us, The breath of God never leaves us – it is in us! And always encamping about us, as it returns we are kept in the circle of God’s Love. Of course by now you are seeing the revelation of this Message, it is the “Rushing Mighty Wind of God’s Holy Spirit that surround us, never leaves us and is always around us! Let us meditate upon the power of this Truth! God uses the natural things of this earth to teach us Spiritual Strengths!

Today the song of the Lord seems so powerful, we need Him to inhabit us! Psalm 47:6-7 Sing praises to God, sing praises: Sing praises unto our King, sing praises. For God is the King of all the earth: This is my prayer for the New Year, that a song of praise will fill our soul until it bursts forth in glorious worship!

Mark 6:30-44

1. Start where you are.

2. Use what you have.

3. Do what you can.

4. Leave the rest to God.

I know a praying church will survive the storms! How do I know? Because Jesus can calm any storm that the enemy can deliver. What this past year tells me is, Jesus is preparing His people for a glorious "Advent!" He is coming!

He was the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world! He came by flesh into this world to be a witness of His Father, the God of Heaven. How glorious is this?
