Wow ! it has been a while since I have posted anything on my blogg. I pray that you have had a great year in the lord , and he is all powerful in your life. We are getting excited here at Mayo about the coming year and what God has instore for us . For I know the plans I have for you ", says the Lord ."They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a futher and a hope . Jeremiah 29:11 NLV how awesome is this verse , to think that God has a plan for you and me. We offen come to this time of the year and we don't know what the new year has in store for us, may have been that this year has not went as we had planned , and so the new year brings a lot of uncertainty . That is why I like this verse so much , God knows the future , and just as Jeremiah states in this verse , if we put how hope in God , his plans are good and not evil in our lives. It is hard for some folks to believe this , They keep doing the same thing over and over and expect something different to take place in their lives . It is hard at first to give God full control of our lives , but when we render our life to him and let Christ take control , He takes the responsible for our lives. Either way, Christ's love controls us.Since we believe that Christ died for all, we also believe that we have all died to our old life. 2 Corinthians 5:14 So our future looks bright with Christ , Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 4:7-9 We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure . This makes it clear that our great power is from God ,not from ourselves.8 We are pressed on everyside by troubles , but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but are not driven to dispair. 9 We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God, We get knocked down, but are not destroyed. So as you and I get started in another year ,I hope that we can put our trust and faith in Christ whose plans are for our good. Have a Blessed New Year in the Lord and savior Jesus Christ , Amen

Prayer

I am excited as we are beginning a new year in the Lord , I believe this will be a year of great outreach for our church. I know that 09 was a difficult year for many but at the same time many turn to the church for answers . I am glad that my God has those answers . He gives us peace and joy even in the most difficult times. I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me . Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows . But take heart, because I have over come the world. John 16: 33 NLT . As 20010 holds many challenges for our nation , I believe that it will provide great opportunity for the church for out reach in our communities. Here at Mayo I have ask the church to go into intense prayer for the church . That we would seek out the Lord for direction for this year. I am praying that God's people would wake up and take a stand for the gospel of Jesus Christ. We need to start living what we are preaching , and praying everyday for a Holy Ghost revival and an out pouring of God's spirit on His people. Pray and fast with us here at Mayo and lets see what God can do when his people start calling on his name. May God Bless you and keep you in 2010 . Keep looking up He is coming soon .
