general encouragement and a request

Post by Grizz »

political things are clarifying at a stupendeous rate

it is symptomatic of collapsing civilizations, like collapsing galaxies, that things proceed both in slow motion and at warp speed at the same time

for all of us trusting Christ and believing God, our eternal future is infinitely secure in that Kingdom. It is done, paid for and won. It's all over but the shouting, and that time appears to be fast approaching.

Christ said "In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."

Nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ.

This isn't psychobabble happy talk, it is the reassurance of the hope of the eternal and infinite good news.

By now, if anyone has read this far, you might be asking "what is he going on about?"

In a few hours I am going on about our Lord's business and heading for Mexico where people receive this good news with grateful glad hearts. Lord willing I will be back in about three weeks, and I covet your prayers . . .

first, for great outreach to the impoverished.

second, for great harvest that glorifies the Name of the Lord

third, for travel safety and health of all the individuals involved

fourth, "And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel," Ephesians 6:19

thank you all for your prayers and fellowship in Christ

Grizz, I will be praying for your trip and safety in that country. Reading your post a few scriptures come to mind. Romans 10:13-16, I Cor. 9:16, and Eph. 6:10-20. I know the Lord will bless your group for this work.

Societies have a life span, just like a business. If you look at it using business as an analogy you'll notice that there are still quite a few old line companies still around. Yet, many newer companies are failing. I blame part of it on the speed of communications.

The faster we communicate the shorter the life span of companies and societies become.

Grizz,
If you want a big harvest, sow a lot of seed. May God bless you richly in your endeavors for Him. Always remember it is God that giveth the increase.

My (our) prayers follow you. I hope you don't mind if I plagiarize part (none personal part) of your
message as my own message to some I feel would be heartened by it. An elegant statement.

Grizz, sometimes I think that you do go on, but my prayers are with you.

Safe travels, Sir.

Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.

History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.
