Dear Friends,
What an amazing year it has been. After obeying the Lord and being on sabbatical for 2010, when the New
Year came in January of 2011, we hit the ground running. We have ministered coast to coast several times
over, sometimes in the same week! This year, it seemed that the Lord blessed us to be able to pray with
many who were dedicating or rededicating their lives to Christ. Also, many were filled with the Holy Spirit. An
emphasis all year was to strengthen the foundations of faith through the preaching and ministry of the simple
Gospel of Jesus. My hope is that we bring the tried and true Word of God. He still heals, He still saves, He
still sets people free and fills them with His Spirit. He still sends us into all the world to preach the Good
News! He still calls us into a lifestyle of worship and devotion. He still brings revival, and we are still called to
walk in the ways of God. We don't need to add to the Gospel, it’s the everlasting Gospel, the Ancient Path.
The simple Gospel of Jesus still WORKS!
I want to thank all of you who have stood with us this year as we have endeavored to be faithful to the Call of
bringing the Word of God to all to whom God has sent us. I don't know how many people I have prayed over,
but it was a LOT! And when I got tired or homesick, the Lord reminded me, “You are on business for the
King”! Those of you who have given to the ministry have an equal part in all that has been done for the Glory
of God! And those of you who have prayed, I ask that you keep us in prayer, that we will be even more
effective in the days ahead, and that God will continue to get all the Glory.
One more word about those who have given. People do not realize it, but because I have purposed to go
anywhere the Lord sends me, I do not place requirements on the places I minister. I accept free-will offerings
and know that God is my Ultimate Source! And God's people have been wonderful givers! But this year,
many times, the expense of getting somewhere exceeded the reimbursement in the offerings, and if it were
not for those of you who have been faithfully and regularly giving online or through the mail, we could not
have done what we did. It has been the faithful few that have carried the load!! A great big God Bless You
and Thank you to you precious ones who have been part of the vision of reaching America, the Body of
Christ, and the Nations.
THOUGHTS:
In just a few short days we will cross the threshold into another new year. Aside from all the prophecies and
“sayings” about 2012, one thing is for certain, we are leaving the season of dreaming and entering the
season of building. Moving from talking about something to doing what we spoke of. The generation of King
David stored up the building materials for the coming temple. (I Chronicles 28) He dreamed of a place where
everyone could worship, and the bible says he laid up the material needed for the “dream”, but could not
build. The time was not right, and the leader was not ready, but it was close. David even had the articles of
silver and gold for the temple created, but still, he could only prophesy, dream and speak and lay up for what
was to come. The seed of that prophetic generation, Solomon, born out of trouble but redeemed by God’s
amazing GRACE, built in HIS generation what was only dreamed of before. Yes, it was Solomon, the son of
Bathsheba that built the promise. Have you had a season of strife or pain? Did you experience failure,
fatigue, frustration in some point of your life? Have you gone through trials less than perfectly? Receive the
healing touch of God and keep moving forward! The cross sets you free. And out of your weakness God will
show His great, triumphant strength. What the enemy meant for evil, God really does use for GOOD!
Now, this is what the Lord has been telling us. It’s time to take what has been “stored up” prophetically, both
individually and corporately, and be doers of the Word God has spoken to you. When you reach into the
heavens, into what has been “laid up” for THIS day, and build with what God has been speaking to you, you
will begin to see the temple of God, the dwelling place where God’s life is manifested in His temple to the
whole earth.
Especially when speaking to Americans, when I say, “to build”, we think of buildings, projects, structures,
ministry models, places. For most of us the place of building has nothing to do with a physical place, but a
place in the Spirit. You build by meditating on what God said, not what the circumstances said. You build by
remembering your true identity and moving through your day and your LIFE wearing that heavenly description
of who you are and Who your God is. You build by going back into the place of prayer, the place of hidden-
ness and laying down the things and thoughts and attitudes in your life that do not conform to your calling.
You build by putting on the heart and nature of Jesus. Do not let the lies of the enemy distort your vision.
Think on your last season. What is the dream of your heart in God? What prophetic Words are you longing
to see come to pass? Have you been preparing for those dreams? Do not seek to build a ministry, seek to
build His character in you. Do not seek to build yourself, seek to build HIS Kingdom in you.
If you have a healing ministry, get ready, if it’s a mercy ministry, get ready, if it’s a life set apart in prayer,
intercession and fasting...get ready! If it’s answering the Call to be a witness of the Living Christ through a
lifestyle of devotion and evangelism, freely giving what you have received...get ready! The world needs you,
and is LOOKING for a temple where they can find God dwelling. In many ways, this will be the year that the
purpose in you has been waiting for.
All for Him!
