Hello Beloved Family and Friends,
We are heading into this new year with great encouragement from the Lord! We started the year laboring many hours helping at our onething conference where we had 25,000 people register and about 80% of that show up at the conference. The Lord moved in many powerful ways. We are enter back into our schedules after the holidays with fresh vision to contend for a third great awakening in our nation and in the nations of the earth. We are stirred like never before to cry our for messengers to be sent to the poor and unreached with the gospel. We long for the Lord to release great power and signs and wonders to bear witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. We long for the conviction of sin to descend upon our land and to see a harvest swept into the kingdom at the preaching of the gospel! We long for preaching that cuts to the heart and under the power of the Holy Spirit people to be soundly converted with genuine repentance. We long for the fullness of what God will release to a people in this age, We long to become desperate and truly hungry for a great move of God, that will produce true righteousness in the secret places of family life. We long for the poor of the earth to have a witness of the gospel both local and abroad.... There is so much to do but we know that we must continue to tarry in the city and cry out for an outpouring of the Spirit. We want to encourage you to fight the american's dream of self preservation and selfish ambition and pour your lives out for the gospel! Let us be a generation that lives the true life of discipleship.... the crucified life following in the footsteps of our savior pouring out our lives as a drink offering for the fame of His name to be made known in the nations! May Jesus be incessantly and continuously worshipped in every place in the earth. The end of all things is the Glory of God expressed by the voluntary worship of all of created order. Beloved don't be lulled to sleep in this late hour.... Jesus is going to come and shake everything that can be shaken and there is a day coming when He alone will be exalted!!! OH how we long for that Day! The great day when Jesus is alone glorified, and the Day of the Lord will surely come, this is our great hope!!! As we reflect on the last year we always want to increase our abandonment for the gospel, we never want to stay in the same place.... We encourage you to pour out the strength of your time money and energy upon the feet of Jesus for His Name to be made much of! Parter with us and help us to continue to labor for the renown of Jesus' to be seen as beautiful and glorious. Here is our newsletter.... and if you get a chance listen to some of the teachings we have on the media page on our blog.... we are sure they will encourage you.... Bless you all.
