Time to Ratchet things up folks!

[Barak/Bearman]

Hey everyone!
I just really feel led to say a word of encouragement to our fellow warriors out there! Alot has been happening, alot of attacks from the enemy. People are afflicted, accidents are happening, people are feeling let down, and there are power struggles coming against our minds. We are not just some wacked out, crazy drifters. We are the seed of the Almighty God, The King of kings and the Lord of lords. There is none like unto him and he has promised us ALL good things.


We need to remember that we are on the victorious side! Do you realize that that is unheard of!!! Knowing without a shadow of a doubt that "WE" are 100% winners, victorious over the wicked one. It doesn't matter what darkness or wickedness surrounds us! It doesn't matter, the depths of our trials and tribulations, for JOY cometh in the morning light. We MUST look to the Lord and lean and rely upon our brothers and sisters.


Please, warriors in the special forces of our Lord's army, be vigilant, be aware, be prepared, be compassionate, shore up your fellow warriors as the fighting rages. Pray without ceasing, seek the Lord & you shall find him! If it's holiness you want, then it's holiness he will give to you.


The battle looms on the horizon! Somewhere, someone is afraid! someone feels like they are suffocating as they anticipate destruction! someone feels their home is being threatened & they are helpless to defend it! Someone is struggling furiously because they know they have lost this battle!

THAT SOMEONE IS NOT US!

[Carol Brown]

AMEN and AMEN! Hope everyone reads this and takes it to heart.

[Carol Ann Smith]

Amen!!

You're right on bearman. We just have to realize who we are in Him. A love realtionship with Him and the sword in our hand the enemy is freak'n out. Murt

[Melody Mainville]

HEY IT'S FUNNY THAT YOU MENTIONED ALL THAT CAUSE WE HAVE BEEN PRAYING FOR THE EXACT SAME THING WITH THE WARRIORS AT OUR CHURCH.... THE ENEMY HAS BEEN COMING IN LIKE A FLOOD CAUSE HE SEE WHAT GOD HAS BEEN DOING AND HE IN ANGRY!!!!
OUR HOUSE HOLD HAS BEEN HIT HARD ALSO AND IN THE FAMILIES AT OUR CHURCH... AND A WORD OF ENCOURAGMENT WENT OUT AMONG US FROM THE LORD THIS LAST SUNDAY...
THERE IS VICTORY AT THE NAME OF JESUS... AMEN BARAK!!

[Heidi Morton]

We may not be in the same local fellowship Melody, but we certainly are in the same family and the same war. Pastor Bankston should be getting something in the mail this week about the "Berkeley Prayer Strike"! Hopefully some of you warriors will feel led to join us in the battle at hand. In the meantime, I'll be praying for you guys (my brothers & sisters).

[Heidi Morton]

Sorry, this was a response from Bear under Heidi's profile! I keep forgetting to clarify that!

[Carol Brown]

Hi Melody. I agree with Bear. We will keep you and your family and church in our prayers.

[Carol Ann Smith]

Reminder!!! If you get hit, walk to the phone and pick it up and CALL a sister or brother and ask for prayer. Don't stew in your own juices!!! Do something about it and don't let the enemy get a cheap shot in on you. Fight back. Or e-mail, that would work too and get you even more folks praying.

[Barak/Bearman]

Be praying for me please! Everywhere I turn my business is getting hit. God is gracious and bigger than this enemy, so I will ignore these lieing vanities and continue to trust the Lord!

[Carol Brown]

I have been keeping you and Caleb especially in prayer. Will add your business. We will look back at this time as incredible that's for sure. Right now I'm listening to a music CD from Shekina Glory Ministries in Illonois (large black church). They are singing the firebrand song UNQUENCHABLE and talking about going through hell but giving him praise and putting the enemy under our feet! RUWAH!

Just back from vacation and greatly encouraged in all things.
Remember these scriptures, from Psalms 37:9 and 10, "For evildoers shall be cut off:
but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.", and secondly:
2 Timothy 3:7-9 speaks of the humanists: "Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto
all men, as theirs also was."
It's time that God be magnified in the sight of the heathen. This is
a showdown much like Elijah versus the Baal worshippers.
Psalms 98:2 The LORD hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen.
God will show himself in His majesty, despite all the blindness
and deafness the enemy has foisted upon the world. Lies,
destruction, deception, murder and fear are his trademarks.
Victory is ours. Cast down all imaginations and
everything which exalts itself agains the knowledge
of the eternal God.

Amen Pete. Preach it. We've had our trials as well but God IS on the throne. Curious where you went on vacation?
