Dear Partner,
I remember when I was just a boy, how exciting it was when school was out for the summer. Then when September came, it was just as thrilling. It was school time again—a new year, a grade higher. Old friends came back together, and a few new ones came in. It was pretty wonderful! No one was trying to question your gender, or trying to get you to question it! In my case, I’m talking about from 1943-1955. It was 79 years ago when I entered elementary school and 67 years ago that I graduated from high school. What has happened?
Let’s look at 2 Timothy 3:1-4:
- This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
- For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
- Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
- Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God.
A key word in all of this is in verse 3. Incontinent means “lacking in selfcontrol, especially of sexual desire.” Things such as this, not to mention floods in one place and drought in another, give us reason to believe things are falling apart. However, they are not falling apart, they are falling into place. We are getting a snapshot of what is to come in the Tribulation. It is time to wake up to the glorious revelation that we are covenant partners with THE MOST HIGH GOD.
Let’s read 1 Corinthians 11:25 in the New Living Translation:
- In the same way, he took the cup of wine after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant between God and his people—an agreement confirmed with my blood. Do this in remembrance of me as often as you drink it.”
“CONFIRMED WITH MY BLOOD”! You are a COVENANT MAN, my dear brother! You are a COVENANT WOMAN, my dear sister! There is a phrase written by the Apostle Peter in his second letter that I want you to remember. In Chapter 1:1 he says:
- Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.
Your and my faith is precious! Why? Jesus, according to Hebrews 12:2, is the Author and Finisher of our faith. Now think about what He said in Mark 11:22:
- And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
What does the cross-reference say? “Have the faith of God.” Remember now, all of these WORDS are precious, BLOOD-BACKED words that can never pass away! The Apostle Paul “promised” in his partner letter to the Philippians in Chapter 4:19:
- But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
That’s a GAS-PUMP VICTORY PROMISE! Don’t curse the politicians. BLESS and pray for them what Jesus prayed: “Forgive them, LORD. They don’t know what they are doing” (see Luke 23:34). As you are reading this letter, stop and say, “Thank You, LORD Jesus, for BLESSING and keeping us.”
We are one day closer to the Resurrection. I am one day closer to my day of complete victory! I speak these things because I am a believer and not a doubter.
In closing, let’s read, and then meditate on, these marvelous, precious and wonderful words spoken by the Master Himself in Mark 10:29-30.
- And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel’s,
- But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.
As you sow your BLESSING seed this month, pray over it as you read these words and “PLEAD THE BLOOD” that backs those verses. Now, bow your head. You’re in that last Passover meal, as The LORD Jesus so sweetly commanded in John 14:1:
- Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
YOU, DON’T LET YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED! You believe in God. BELIEVE! [HAVE FAITH!] in Jesus. Why?
First John 5:4 says:
- For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
Now verse 5:
- Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
Victory over trouble! Pump your gas as you smile and say, “Victory is mine, and the joy of The LORD is my strength. So I can do ALL things through Christ, the Anointed One and His Anointing, which strengthens me. I have no fear!”
First John 4:16-18 says:
- And we have known and believed [have faith in] the Love that God hath to us. God is Love; and he that dwelleth in Love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
- Herein is our Love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
- There is no fear in Love; but perfect [Greek: full-grown, mature] Love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in Love.
A whole lot of people prayed for you today, and every day. And remember this: God Loves you, we Love you, and Jesus is LORD!
