Updates and a few letters

Its great to hear from
you brother Robert,its as burning in my heart as fire,I wish I could get you and
share the word face to face.
let me tell you these three things to forget not in a christian life; nothing else but living with Definate purpose,Persistance,a burning Desire for their translation into facts.Through the combination of the three we should reach far inthe Gosple field.
Never quit just for the temporary defeate but let yuor/our bulldog determination, yuor persistance in standing back of a single desire is destine to mow down all oppositions and bring us into the gates of glory of God.
BLSSZ TO YOU.
Balaam’s teaching... and the Heart of God Rev 2:12 ff
Personal Gain... or corporate meaning?
Lessons from Pergamos/ Balaam / Nicolaitans (heresies and
kindling the wrath of God)
Judgment begins at the house of God... so
that the Church is NOT judged with the world. One of the greatest privileges of
the Church, is that the LORD Jesus wants to finish what He has begun in His
children... the children of God. He pours out extreme mercy and grace... with
all His corrections, that we, His church might get right, repent, and stay right
with Him... to the end! HE that overcomes!!! This is the word of the LORD
going out to His faithful church today. He has called us unto Holiness.... a
Holiness without which none shall see The LORD.
The question might well be asked: what is
on the top of your heart today? What is the single largest concern of your
affections at this very moment? What dominates your desires just
now?
This teaching is for the those who HUNGER
for the word of God! Who treasure every nuance or vibration from God the
Father, Son and Holy Spirit... that they might grow thereby! That when they set
their head down to sleep, they are concerned for the next prompting of God,
that they might hear HIM! That when they arise, they might hear
Him! Amen. This is the child of God today. In the midst of a dark
generation... they want to hear Jesus! Today... there is a struggle to keep our
spiritual balance in a very dark world. WE must guard the affections of our
heart! For the direction of your heart will be the things you hear the most..
because that’s what you are listening for! That’s where you have set your
affections! Amen.
He that has an ear... let him or her hear
what the Spirit is saying to the church today. For only those who love the LORD
and love His word, and love His church Body at large... are going to hear.
This is an unfolding on the doctrine of
Balaam (Num 22) and 5 areas we need to be cautious about in our
hearts.
Balaam had pitched his tent just across the
river from the Moabites... like Lot—who pitched his tent a little too close to
Sodom! King Balak comes from across the river to make a proposition to Balaam
to curse Israel so that they would not be such a force.
Balaam asks YHWH God... and He said: “Don’t
go! vs. 12 Again, Balaam wants to go a 2nd time, (vs 20) and asks the
LORD... and He says: “Go... but speak only my words.” God knew the affections
of Balaam’s heart... that he wanted to go, and receive some sort of personal
gain for himself from the Moabite King.
The scriptures tell us that Balaam was a
‘perverse’ man (head-long and self-willed)... who, in his heart was after the
riches of King Balak. God could see his heart, and tried to warn Balaam that he
was not to go in that direction.
The LORD sent an angel to interrupt the
plans of of Balaam for His wrath was kindled against him! As you know the
story, while riding on the road Balaam beats his donkey 3 times (21-35)... who
saved Balaam’s life by not stepping into the path of the Angel of the
YHWH God. If the donkey would have just gone forward, the Sword of the LORD
would have fallen on Balaam! The donkey had great mercy upon her owner... as
unrighteous as he was.
When the LORD had opened the eyes of Balaam,
and saw the Angel of the LORD with His sword drawn, he confessed he had
sinned... but did not repent, as the rest of the narrative plainly lays out.
Three times Balaam entertains Balak, but was not free to speak a curse on
Israel... so Balaam devises a plan ‘to teach’ Balak how to move Israel into a
problem with YHWH God, so that He would have to judge Israel!
Israel did not forsake the LORD, but did join himself to the god’s of
Moab... which kindled the wrath of God against them. Many are
making this same error today!
Balaam eventually got what he
was looking for... reward and personal gain from Balak, the
Moabite king... Balaam later paid the ultimate price for his wickedness... a
sure death and hell forever. All because he started using the
people and things of God to obtain personal gain. This error will
not go unpunished.
What is at stake here is the affections of
the heart. Regarding Israel—the LORD is perfectly jealous for the heart of His
people! PS 78.58
YHWH God went to great measures to release
Israel from the grip of Egypt, so that He could have a people who would
CONSECRATE themselves for Him alone! He would give them a land flowing with
milk and honey... the land of Promise! Amen.
Why did He do all this? Why did He make
creation? All for His creature man... made in His image and likeness... a place
for man to live and move and have YHWH God’s being within them... and to commune
with their maker. Praise the LORD! God’s people are the center piece of His
creation.
What He desires most, is a people who are
jealous for a consecrated heart – a holy heart after God! To live a consecrated
life... to Him and His purposes. Let us learn that YHWH God is JEALOUS over his
creation man.... and ALL his affections, love and cravings of the
heart.
It’s when the LORD JESUS is NOT at the top
of the list, that things begin to go crazy... and the LORD is first to know
about it! Remember... as a saved people, there is a love covenant made in
salvation. All Saints are very married to Jesus Christ... great mystery and
blessing that it is. The LORD will never take kindly to those who will add
others to His Marriage! True saints need no other! Amen. They are consecrated
unto YHWH. They love to be with Jesus... and hear Him!
When the heart wanders, the Holy Spirit will
continue to speak to us for a course correction... For... if the LORD speaks to
us, and the heart find ways not to obey Him... then the heart begins to be
hardened, as the LORD repeats Himself over and over... until the heart is hard.
Then there is judgment. Sometimes suffering loss! But the LORD never gave up
on Israel, and He will not give up on His True Church who repents... and
overcomes by the Blood of Jesus! Amen.
So where is your heart today?
Do you HUNGER for the Truth as it is in
Christ Jesus?
Or... like Balaam, are you using the church
of God to prosper yourself with the riches of this life? My friend, we can not
have it both ways. Either we serve one master or the other... but never both!
Man can not serve two masters.
The Nicolaitans did the same thing. Only
they created another ‘hierarchy’ to be another governing body (undue influence) between the Church
and God! Nico – rulers over the Laity – people of God... Nicolaitans. Why did
people follow these heretics? Because, like Balaam, they lowered the standards
of God, and made provision to sin concerning sexual immorality, and “MIXING the
Pagan feast’s with the feast’s that belonged only to YHWH God alone! The God of
the bible is a JEALOUS God... and He will not share His
Bride with anyone else! Amen.
God plus the world will never work. Just
like the church at Pergamos and Laodicea... with compromise and
mixture, comes loss of power and blessing... just like
Samson! Oh... may we take real care, and come to the LORD in humility to search
and try our hearts... and turn again unto the LORD from ALL forms of Mixture!
Holiness is One thing. Mixture is many things, divided interests... that merely
include God as just one part of the hearts affections. LORD, be merciful as we
repent on this very serious matter.
Christians must be a holy, consecrated
people... given to His service. That is the Bride of Christ indeed.
1 Peter 1:15-16
James, the half brother of Jesus said:
Friendship with the world, is ENMITY with God! James starts out that verse in
Chapter 4:4 (4-10) ... YE ADULTERERS AND ADULTERESSES, know
you not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Do you think the
scriptures says in vain, ‘the spirit that dwells in us lusts to envy?’ Yes...
the LORD is a jealous God when it comes to the hearts of people... the
church-Bride of Christ.
Let us then be about the work of SEPARATING
the world from our faith and life in Christ!.. that is, separated TO God... and
separated FROM the world. John 17:13-18 Sanctify them... keep them from the
world.
Question: What is the tool that most keeps
us sanctified? THE WORD!
Worldly believers have relaxed the word. If
we are separated from the world... we are called to a ministry that speaks to
the world. The Word of God needs to go where it is needed most.
Like Balaam and the Nicolaitans, many
worldly professors of Christ have relaxed the word...
... and yet, born-again believers have been
separated from the world... and called to a ministry to SPEAK the Word to a lost
and dying world! Amen.
What happens when the salt has lost it’s
savor? Jesus says it is no longer good for anything but to be thrown out in the
road and trampled on by men... Matt 5:13. It is very important for the Church
today to come back to doing the things that Jesus asked us to do... which will
not happen unless we let go of all worldly ambitions and schemes! Amen. Luke
16... no servant can serve two masters!... it’s impossible!
That which is highly esteemed of men, is an
abomination to God! Just look at all things, events and idols the world
esteems! (sports, TV, video games, stock markets, treasures of money,
entertainments of all kinds, big homes, big lands, big jobs, big cars...
etc.)
When Israel joined itself to the world of
Moab, there was GREAT loss! All mixture is un-Holy!
5 areas of application in
closing:
1 - The Consecrated Heart—is contentment with God and with the Life you have
with Him.
The world is NOT content with things...
always moving on with plans and schemes to get ahead in the world... like
constantly expanding your business, to be bigger and better! Some pastor’s do
that with their church building.
Hebrews 13:5 Let
your conversation be without
covetousness; and be content with such things as ye
have: for He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake
thee.
The human heart is never content ... always
anting more! Better clothing, better computer, bigger cars, better house...
perhaps a better wife! (Lord, make people desperate for the Truth!). But,
while saints travel through the world, they must become content with the LORD’S
provisions.
Let us remember how Israel going through the
deserts to the promised land never experienced clothes or shoes wearing out... a
true provision of His hand. Deut 29:5
2 - The Consecration of our time on earth
May it be to LIVE our lives to the Glory of
God! Amen. Why? Because we only have so much time allotted to us... to build
and grow in the grace and the knowledge of the LORD Jesus Christ. Yes—Life is
SHORT! And eternity is mighty LONG!
Are you really ready to see Jesus on His
Throne? Or are you still wasting precious time here and there?
The average American spends 5 hours a day
watching TV!... watching the world of Moab! Sports, movies, games,
hobbies...
Moab represents Mixture! Mixing YHWH with
the World! It’s like trying to mix oil and water... it really can’t be done
very easily.
But when a person joins Christ Jesus in His
Kingdom, it is the WORD that perfects us in our activities.
2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of
God, and is profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
3:17 That the man of God may be perfect,
thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
The people of God will be consumed with the
WORKS OF GOD... which He has for ordained that we should walk in them. Amen.
That is the highest and best way to use our time wisely... REDEEMING THE TIME!
Ephes 5:15-17 These are the perfect works that He desires.
Here’s the problem for those who join
‘time-wasters:’ THEY STEAL YOUR
AFFECTIONS... AND TIME! Ask any sports fan! Ask any
hunter! Ask any hobbyist! Ask any kind of ADDICT! That’s where they spend
most of their free time and thinking... not to mention their heart AFFECTIONS!
The bible calls that kind of activity =
Idolatry.
They all have the same
affect... IT STEALS YOUR CONSECRATION FROM THE
LORD!
The nation Israel did NOT forsake the YHWH
God... but joined Him to the world of Baal Peor... Moab and their god’s. YHWH
had to leave.
3 - Consecrated dressing
Moderate, modest and simple... these are NOT
the ways of the world. Indeed, the world does NOT teach these values! In the
world, outward beauty, fashion and FAME are most admired and sought
out.
What is the nature and character of the
attire and clothing you seek after in this life? A good question for us
all.
In the Word, we are taught that our
fulfillment and satisfaction is found in adopting the Character of Christ, His
attitudes (Beatitudes Matt. 5) and reflecting His Glory... the Glory of Kingdom
life in Christ! Amen.
The Bride of
Christ is ‘arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for
the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. Blessed are they that are
called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb.’ Rev
19:8-9
But for the mother of
harlots, she is ‘arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and
decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand
full of ABOMINATIONS and the filthiness of her fornication's.’
Rev 17:4 These are the things that are highly esteemed of men!
Today, there is so much stress on immodest,
tight or very bare dressing! Like so called swim wear... it can only be called
the un-dressing of the bodies... for loose, fashion’s sake... and following the
ways of the world. These are the things found in the media, movies, games, and
passions of the world... all without Christ Jesus as Lord. What should our
dress be conformed to? The things of this life.. or of the Life to come, lived
out before the Presence of the LORD?
May the Church Bride of Christ ever be found
following after the ways and means of Jesus, preparing as a bride for her
wedding, with heart affections and cares set upon Him.
4 - Consecrated worship and music
All saints are called to make melody in
their hearts... UNTO GOD! Amen.
Worldly music is much different! Very
sensual, loud and suggestive! (Rock, country, rap)... or mindless, as
to written just for ‘entertainment’ and without any care or direction at all.
These are highly esteemed of the world.
Then there is this thing called Christian
rock!.. And variations of the same.
Consider: would it be a good thing to ‘yoke
together’ the things of the world (rock) with the words of Christ? Does that go
to far... as people love to dance and party, indulge and play to the tune of the
world... and somehow having the words of Jesus may not send the right message...
at least not with the right force or priority.
2 Cor. 6:14 tells us not to be unevenly
yoked to the world! Can it be done in song?
The Greek word ‘sym phonia’ or symphony in
English... meaning to have in concord with another, or the ‘blending of sounds’
into one.
Question: What symphony has God with the
world? Can we blend that which is Holy with that which is profane? May we be
so careful with anything that fits into this category! Our God is a Jealous
God... and that will not change anytime soon. The LORD is Jealous over your
affections regarding His service, His Love, His desires, and all worship towards
Him. Amen.
5 - Consecrated bodies - tabernacles
Our bodies are mobile alters... consecrated
vessels of honor to hold and pour out Christ Jesus and His words at any time!
Amen. This is the honor that we hold.
“I beseech you brethren, by the mercies of
God, that you present our bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God,
which is your reasonable service of worship.” Rom 12:1-2
What are the kind of things that we use our
bodies for? This is a good meditation. Balaam used his body to get things for
himself. The Nicolaitans used their bodies for fornication and excesses against
the word of God. Sports – many bodies get abused and broken at an early
age, not having the strength or flexibility in later life to carry one about
for the gospel’s sake. All of us can use our bodies to sin... and at all
levels, this has to change. For example, our lips were made to speak the Words
of Truth... not a lie or deception... and we could go on and on... but all to
say that as Saints, our bodies are no longer our own... we share them with a
Holy God and a Holy Spirit! Their many functions must be consecrated for
Kingdom uses. This will bring much Glory to God. This is when Jesus steps in
to minister through His saints.
So let us NOT be conformed to the world...
to win the world! Don’t be like a Samson, who wasted so much of his life and
body... trying to get things from the world. Or like Balaam, who tried to get
material wealth from this world. Ultimately, it will hurt you... and the body
of Christ.
Let the world see the followers of Christ as
something that has a cost in pursuing another Kingdom... and be afraid to join
the living church (Acts 5) who shows forth a consecrated life, and the power of
God in their lives. Let our lives as the living Church be a calling back the
purity and purposes of the life of Christ in us... that the world may see the
difference... and give Glory to God. This is the possession of the saints who
walk with the Deity of Almighty God!
All need to repent! All need to be
overcomers! Rev 2-3
What is the LORD Jesus trying to say about
consecration? What lessons can we learn from the teaching of
Pergamos?
The LORD wants a separated
people! A Bride without sport, wrinkle or blemishes... who
has more invested in the life with Jesus, and has turned from being so consumed
and occupied with the things of this life. Lord... make us Holy unto you.
Prayer:
Lord Jesus, please... show
us where we have joined with the world... that we may repent. Help me to work
it out in my own heart and life, that I may be an overcomer... and have favor
and greater fellowship with You. Lord we pray... that in all we do—You may be
Glorified... in Jesus Name. Amen

Hindus persecute new Believers!

Hindu family converts – House burns
down:
“Who
shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or
persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written,
For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the
slaughter.37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him
that loved us”.
Romans 8: 35 –
37.
“Fanatic hindus burned our poor dear Christian houses. Burned her
poor thatched dwelling shed, left ash only, lost every thing, just stood and
remained with the wearied dress only.” Most gracious and loving Face book
Friends and Mission Supporters, Dear Beloved one, it was, happened by the
fanatic people of these families, a great plot of opposite people, cause of just
they accepted Jesus Christ as her personal life from a community , who never
like Christ and Christians.
These belongs to a special community, from the
community no one accepted the Christ, and never allowed to go the church and
never to speak with Christians and never allow to come the servant of God in
their streets Or house. At any cost. But the sovereign Lord has called her from
that strict community and they confess their sins and accepted the lord Jesus as
her personal Savior and recently Baptism given to them and last week some Hindu
fanatic people came to their houses and warren they not to accept Jesus if not
they do harm them and they said and it was the religion of the LOW CAST PEOPLE
etc... But they don’t want to leave Jesus and they saw great things Jesus had
done for them. In these great reasons this poor family only faithful to God and
coming to church and attends for every Christian activities from the community.
And from whole area colony this families only comes to church.
In this great
tribulation they were stood firm for Christ and the Christ never leave them.
Praise be to God. Yesterday some people came put fire the thatched shed while
these people went to work and after came back nothing is left for them to take
and some neighbouring people came try to some of things and try to quiches fire
but it was late for them. But they lost every thing, nothing left .All their
cloths, and tools, and rice and everything thing just they left with empty
hands.
While the burning the thatched shed no one shown the kind compassion to
call the fire Engine too. Such a Envy and angry kept in the heart of the people,
specially on this family and on Jesus Christ. When I came to know these things
and myself and my sons went to help them as we can able and try to stop fire and
for us also it is late for us. Our heart is broken for them Brought them into my
house as the shelter till they get (Or) plant the thatched shed.
Please keep in
your prayers for these poor Christian families so that God may provide more
comfort and restore whatever they lose. Please show your love and kindness
towards your brothers in Jesus Christ. They need our prayers and much more...
Your
brother in Jesus Christ.

FASTING WITH PRAYER
PRAISE THE LORD BROTHER EPHRATA
Greetings from all the saints in Uganda. Back to
us we are doing well in every thing concerning the ministry. We write this
letter from the deepest f our love to you.
First we would like to appreciate the love you
have towards us, your coming in Uganda last time was challenging. We did not
expect that you would be down to earth to the extend of sleeping together with
us in a small and semi-permanent house.
We were worried that you would be sick because of
the poor living conditions, but glory is to God that he kept you safe. For Gods
sake may the lord bless you.
Secondly, concerning your life and obstacles you
are passing through, for sure we are praying so much for you. You are our eye of
the ministries. We have put you in our prayer request in the morning prayers
daily from 05:00am to 06:20am and in the prayer and fasting retreat. We are also
praying that god open the way where there is no way so that you get funds for
the regional people, things that concern FBF and the ministry and safe journey
as you come back to Uganda to work with us then back to Kampala, noted easier in
some letter you wrote to us.
Below is our procedure of our fasting and
prayer;
Prayer is often connected with fasting in the
bible. As when Nehemia on hearing of the ruin of Jerusalem; continued fasting
and praying before the God of heaven ( Neh: 1:4, or when the Jews learned of the
decree of Ahasuems that they would all believed and there was great mourning
among the Jews, with fasting and weeping and lamenting ( Esth. 4:3) at other
timed fasting is connected with repentance, for God says to the people who have
sinned against him, yet even now, says the lord, return to me with all your
heart, with fasting with weeping and with mourning. (Joel.2; 12)
In the new testament, Anna was “worshiping with
fasting and prayer night and day” (Luke;2:37) in the temple, and the church at
Antioch was worshiping the lord and fasting when the holy spirit said, “then
after fasting and praying they laid their hands on them and sent them off”( Acts
13:3). In fact, fasting was a routine of seeking the lords guidance with regard
to church officers, for on Paul’s first missionary journey, we read that he and
Barnabas, as they traveled back through the churches they had founded,”
appointed elder for them in every church, with prayer and fasting (Acts 14:23)
In each of these situations, several benefits come from fasting all of which
affect our relationship to God.
-
Fasting increases our sense of humanity and dependence on the lord (for our hunger and physical weakness continually remind us how we are not really strong in ourselves but need the lord.
-
Fasting allows us to give more attention to prayer (for we are not spending time on eating and it is a conditional reminder that, just as we sacrifice all of ourselves to him.
-
Fasting is a good exercise in self-discipline, for as we retain from eating food, which we would ordinally desire it also strengthens our ability to retain from sin to which we might otherwise be tempted to yield. If we train ourselves to accept the small “ suffering” of fasting willingly, we will be better able to accept other suffering for the sake of righteousness ( Heb. 5:8: 1Peter 4:1-2)
-
There are many things that the Holy Spirit will bring to us only in the place of prayer and fasting, being separated from food, and living in the Spirit.
Brother Robert may our lord Jesus Christ,
preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even
forevermore ( Psalm 12:1: 1-8)
Praise the lord = Mukama Yebazibwe
Yours in Christ

Lagos Outreach
FBF
preaching team increased by seven others; brothers Kotun, I. K. James, Uzodinma,
Emmanuel, Okwori, Ajayi and Sister Lilian
Ikorodu is a different town. A little far off from where most of us
reside. It is a place where most of the indigenes still practice idolatry. The
general lifestyle here is unfriendly and weird. But every one of us has been
commissioned and empowered by the Holy Spirit with God’s love and authority. The
gospel is preached vehemently. The danger of sin and its eternal damnation were
emphasized, persuading people in the heavy traffic to repent and be saved. Our
bull horns pierced through the noisy atmosphere of passerby and vehicles. We had
enough gospel tracts to share freely. There was excellent response. A man who
read our banner came close and spoke “we all need Jesus.” We interacted with few
persons, whom we also prayed with at last. The Lord Jesus definitely won their
hearts. God gave us a miracle as the rains which were threatening this morning,
stopped from falling, giving us refreshing weather. We ended our preaching in a
brief fellowship with prayers and sharing some fruits. As we departed, we
rejoiced that God found us worthy through the blood of the Lamb to spread the
good news.

Bro Patrick
encourages from Rwanda:
Every "little
achievement" in the eyes of man is not supposedly small in God's sight. Neither
does "no achievement" before men mean nothing before God. God makes the WHOLE
heaven rejoice over one mortal man's conversion. One compliance by Jonah made
the whole city SAVED. No one knew exactly what would happen next after the
message was delivered. But the God of thunder can determine what the toil of the
sons of thunder can produce even when we don't see it or understand it. Be
consistent brothers and sisters in doing the work of the Lord, there's more
light at the end of the tunnel. Our labors shall accompany us one day. Some will
be amazed seeing the crown they never expected!
Patrick
FBF Sons of Thunder appreciates all that write
in to share what the LORD is doing in and through the ministries in their
area... we support all those Open Air preachers, teachers and evangelists that
are ‘doing the work’... and planting churches to maintain new converts. In ALL
these things—we endeavor to please the LORD.
Here is their story:
East Africa, Bro Amos encourages....
let me tell you these three things to forget not in a christian life; nothing else but living with Definate purpose,Persistance,a burning Desire for their translation into facts.Through the combination of the three we should reach far inthe Gosple field.
Never quit just for the temporary defeate but let yuor/our bulldog determination, yuor persistance in standing back of a single desire is destine to mow down all oppositions and bring us into the gates of glory of God.
BLSSZ TO YOU.
Kenya, Bro Ben, FBF Bungoma
Am there my Bro!
I wanted to some Brethren to Nakuru and didn't
have
money so I went home to sell some maize, we went there 5
people and
just came back today after being there for 3 days. Guys

fbf very much and 2 bishops surrendered to Christ and
joined fbf. Also
my phone got spoiled so I take sometime before browsing.
Otherwise I
love you and your teaching Bro! If you call or sms me I
will respond

Dear Father, thank you for the blessing & projection
during my Dec mission. It's was so power & I felt the move of the Holy
Spirit, the Burundians percieved the message of the cross Jesus with alot of
meekness & humility and harvest is plenty but labourer are few.
Lot's of regards from Nancy my fiancee and I, we're
privileged to make it to a new year 2012.
We are planning our marriage soon and we appreciate your
advice and encouragement.
The meek is greater but so is our God.

Much emphasis is given by our LORD and the
Apostles in their teaching on the importance of the PREACHING or DECLARING the
Gospel of Jesus Christ! It is the POWER of God on earth as given to men (Rom
1.16)... as it provides the most coverage in every area.
The words used for PREACH, PREACHING carry
with it the Open Air Proclamation just as a TOWN CRIER! It is never a 2 eay
conversation... but a DECLARATION TO ALL! The Church Bride of Christ is to be
the VOICE of the Bride and the Bridegroom in this untoward
generation.
It has been, and remains the privilege of
this ministry to expose men to this dimension of the Gospel as prescribed by our
LORD JESUS CHRIST! May we present the Truth in Love... as Jesus did.
Amen.
Mark 16:15-16, 1:14, Matt 9:35, 24:12-14,

1:18
