Happy New Year,
I hope you have started your New Year with renewed comittment to the Lord, 2008 is behind us, I hope it was a good year for you but for many it may have been a difficult year; But now we have a new year and it can be a new start with our lives, many have made New Year resolutions and offten we don't stick to them .I am told that offten they don't last but a few months, they say that by march the gyms are back to normal. Sadly our comittment to Christ sometimes is the same way. We have good intention , we want to stay comitted, but over a period of time it becomes easy to loose our zeal for the Lord. Offten it is not in the big things that get us but the constent drip,drip of everyday life that pulls us away from Our relationship with the Lord. Paul told Timothy in 2 Timothy 1:6 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gilf of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. NIV : We are to keep faning that fire that is in us, put there by the Holy Spirit. You may ask how do we do that? by spending time with the Lord everyday in prayer, by reading his word, and by staying in fellowship with our church, and spending time with other christians. There are no Lone Rangers in our walk with the Lord. We need fellowship with other christians , we need there encouragement when we are down , we need thier prayer when we can't pray for ourselves. We need one another. THAT is why the Lord spend so much time on teaching us about love and Paul wrote in 1 Corninthians chapter 13 verse 4 Love is patient , love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. it is not rude, it is not self seeking, it is not easy angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.NIV ; We need one another. This New Year gives all of us an opportunity to start our walk with the lord refreshed, revived, and excited. I believe that 2009 will be a year of great harvest. I don't know of a church that does not need excited ,comitted christian to support the ministries that go out of our churchs. THIS could be the year that we take back our community for the Lord. Remember that it is not in our we start the race but how we finish the race. Let 2009 be the year we turn the world up side down for the Lord!!! SO get involve ,Let the Holy Spirit direct you , fill you , and help keep you on the narrow way . AMEN , Keep looking up he is coming soon.

"Christ", the reason for the season.
GREETING;
As we are entering into the Christmas season I pray that we are entering in with a greatfull heart. I am greatfull for the year that the Lord has given me and my family and I hope you can say the same . I know that Christmas can be a sad time for those that may have lost a love one over the course of the year. My prayers and my heart goes out to you. Cathy and .I understand all to well what that means.This year I loss a step father in law who was a very dear man and in years passed we loss a son. It is very difficult to get in to the Christmas spirit with a grieving heart as we miss our love ones. But I know that if they died with the Lord we will see them again and I do look forward to that as well as I know that many of you do. I remember the first year that Daniel was killed I thought about him spending Christmas with the Lord and that how he must of felt as Heaven was rejoicing over the birth of Christ. I don't think we can come close to comprehend how beautifull Heaven is . Grace ,Paul knew about Grace when he had prayed on three diffrent times for the Lord to take away the thorn in the flesh, But God said my Grace is sufficiency for you. Christ is the only one that can mend a broken heart if you are a child of the Lord's fall on Him let Him help you to heal ,He is the only one that can .I know that there are suport groups out there that can help also we have family members to help,but they can't take away the hurt only Christ can do that. Psalm 46 has allways been a comfort to me, in verse one it states that God is my refuge and my strengh always ready to help in times of trouble.I know that when Daniel died I tried to carry all the pain myself .I thought that thats what it ment to being a strong christian.But the Lord kept telling me to stand still . But when you are hurting that's hard to do.In verse ten he said , stand still and know that I am GOD.the only way you are going to be able to with stand the hurt is to stand still and realize that you can't make it alone and that the Lord is our refuge and that is where we find rest for our weary soul.I believe that the Lord is speaking to some one because this is not what I intended to write about . If I can help you by sharing how the Lord ministerd to me, are if I can pray for you let me know.In the Magnificat: Mary said Oh , how my soul praises the lord. How my spirit rejoices in God my Savior! NLT How could she know how blessd she was for God chose her to give birth to the Savior for all man kind. Don't let grief or problems or anything else stop you from being able to worship the King of Kings the Lord of Lords this Christmas. It is not in how much we recieve or in how much we buy, that can bring us joy , But in knowing the child that was born in a stable as our savior.The angels told the shepherds in the field that"Don't be afraid !"he said."I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people.The Savior- yes ,the Messiah, the Lord-has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David! Luke 2:10-11 NLT . So let your heart rejoice , let your spirit sing out and share your faith with someone this Christmas. Tell them about the "reason for the season"and keep looking up He is coming back! God Bless you and your family .Oh I told you that our family lost Jimmy this year and Liz ,Cathy's mother is fighing cancer ,"WE thank everyone for prayers for Liz"But the Lord blessed us with a new family member and this will be Will Allan's first Christmas, he loves to look at the lights but his big sister this year getting in to Christmas, and to be able to see Christmas through the eyes of a child is a great joy!!! Mery Christmas from the Heath family.

Choose Life
Greeting;
I hope that you are able to get out and enjoy the fall colors .This is my favorite time of the year. Here in Patrick co we are blessed to live where each year the Lord puts on a great show of colors. I look out at the mountain and cannot but wonder how anyone can said there is no God. In Romans chapter one and verse twenty tell us that we have no excuse not to know that there is a God just by looking at everything He has created . But that is why God lets us have freewill we can choose to believe what ever we want to. I am so greatfull that God's Holy Spirit is still calling people to him. And can make the choice to believe or not. Some had rather believe a lie than the truth . They think that if they believe that there is no God then they will not be held acountable to their sins, but it does not work that way ,the bible is very clear about this . That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father Philippians 2:10-11 NLT .I am so thankful that I bowed on this side and did not wait when the Holy Spirit call me. Thank God for His mercy and His grace . Don't wait until it is to late to acknowledge Christ. Also as a nation we have turn our back on God and still think that He will continue to bless our nation, this year I think we are witnessing one of the most important election of our time. I believe that the very soul of our nation hang's in the balance. the issue is not the economy, are the promises that the candidates or making about taking care of us ,and all that they are going to give us . This election is much more than that. This election is about life, the life of the unborn child, as a church we have tried to sweep it under the rug, but the issue will not go away.So many christians this year will go into the voting booth and vote for their pocket book instead of life for the unborn and then we expect God to answer our prayer. I once thought that christians where just not informed on the issue of abortion , but now I think many choose not to be informed so they want have to answer for their lack of support for the unborn children. I don't see how anyone claiming to be a christian could support that horrible procedure to kill an unborn child. But many do , they are able to separate their faith from thier vote. But just like the unbeliever that thinks he will get by God , many christians think the same thing. We serve a Holy God and he will not let the blood of the innocent go with out judgement. The church needs to do more for these mothers that think they may not have a choice, instead of condemning them we should be sharing the love of Christ with them and help them choose life for their child. And those who have had an abortion , let them know that there is healing for them and forgiveness from Christ . We don't have to pray about which candidate to vote for one stands for life , one stands for death. Oh if we are really concerned for our nation then we should do what the word of God tells us to do. Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land . 2 Chronicles 7:14. Child of God if there has ever been a time for us to pray for our nation it is now. Let us agree together and pray in one mind and stand in the gap for the sins for this once great nation for God , That we don't get the leader we deserve but the one we need. Keep looking up He is coming soon. Amen

Halleluiah
Hallelujah ;
We heard people use the word hallelujah ,it is used to express praise or thanksgiving to the Lord.How exciting it is to be a child of the Lord's and be able to break out in praise for his goodness and mercy.When I stand in the pulpit and I feel his presence around me I cannot help but to break out in worship. As christians we should always be able to worship God , even when we have had a bad day and don't feel like it.We have so much to be thankful for, but so often the only thing God gets from us is our complaints . Job ; when he found out that he had loss everthing he had including is children Job 1:20 At this, Job got up tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship. NIV . You might say how could he do that after such a bad day . Job knew that no matter what he was going through God was right there with him , And he knew no matter what God was not going to leave him . Nothing can separate us from the love of God. Paul knew this that is how he could face the trials in his life .Read Romans 8:31-39. That is how Paul and Silas could worship even as they were beaten and thrown into prison .Acts 16 :22-25. And when they broke out into worship there in the jail it led others to the Lord . Our God is alive and we should worship Him like He is. I love to be around christians that worship with all their heart . I love lively worship, How can you have Christ in your heart and not get excited? I have heard folks say we have to have orderly services and that we should not get emotional in our worship service. I would agree that there should be some order but not to the point that we suppress the spirit , if Christ is the head of the church I think it is time for us to get out of the way and let him start leading it. How can you have such an awesome God and not break out in worship? HOW can you have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and not let it rise up in you in worship? Read Psalm 149-AND 150 AND TELL ME THAT WE ARE NOT TO WORSHIP ARE GET EXCITED!!!! People are turning to all kinds of cults and witch craft because they are looking for something alive , many are looking for anwers for problems in thier lives,instead of looking for those anwers in the mainline church they are turning to the things of the devil. Why, because they don"t see any life in the church anymore . There are no signs and wonders in the church . Jesus said in Mark 16:17 and these signs will accomany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; Most christians setting in the church today don"t even believe that there are demons much less be able to cast one out. My prayer is that you allow the Holy Spirit to rise up in you and that you start worshiping God in your life and never allow religion or anyone stop you from worshiping in freedom and in truth. Satan wants the church dead and religious and led of man because he knows the power that can be unlease if Gods people start to worship and pray for revival and start to hunger for more of God . If my people who are called by my name ,will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from wicked ways, then I will heard from Heaven and will forgive thier sins and heal thier land. 2 Chronicles 6:14 NIV This is what satan don't want you to know . SO the next time you heard someone say HALLELUJAH join in and get excited in the goodness and mercy of the lord. Let your cup run over .Break out of the rut and allow God to get real in your life. Keep looking up He is coming back. Praise God!!!!!!

We need revival
Greeting ,
I hope you had a great labor day weekend. It is hard to believe that summer is officially over, time waits on no one. I heard someone say that one thing that money cannot buy is time, I would agree with that but there is another thing that money can't buy and that is salvation. Salvation is free to anyone who calls on the name of Christ. Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved. Acts 4: 12 NIV When you think about that, that is truly awesome ; ALL we have to do to be save is cry out to Christ. The bible said in Romans 10:13 for Everone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."NIV " With that said how can so many people be confuse about how to be saved? I heard that a recent poll taken said that over twenty per cent of people setting in our church today think that there is more than one way into heaven. That they can get in on good works or just being a good person. That is a lie right out of hell . How can so many people setting in our church today not heard the truth? One reason is that a lot of pastor have given up on salvation, they are more concerned about keeping there congregation inside the church rather than sending them outside the church to the harvest. Most of the church today operates in the natural rather than in the supernatural. We know longer see signs and wonders in our church today. We are satisfied with the church the way it is, not expecting anything an not getting anything ,but I know that Christ is not happy with a luke warm church. Christ said in Revelation 3:15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So because you are neither hot nor cold- I am about to spit you out of my mouth. I all so know that Christ is raising up a church today that is hungry and thirsty for his Holy Spirit . Christains that keep praying for the out pouring of the Spirit , that are begining to use the gifts of the Holy Spirit to edify the church. The unchurched are watching the church today to see if there is life , we need to be praying and seeking the face of God for our church today ,for God to stir the church ,to put life back into it, to get it out of the hands of men and back into the hands of Christ.WE NEED REVIVAL! But the only way it will come is if there are enough christians who are hungry and have such a burden for the loss that they will keep praying and will not stop . If you read this and think that you can get to heaven an bypass Christ here is what he said in John 10 :9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out , and find pasture. Friend there is only one way to heaven ,only one way to be saved . That if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord", and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead,you will be saved. ROMANS10: 9 NIV. That is so simple that even a child can understand. If you prayed for Christ to come into your life let me know and we will send you some helpful information . Keep looking up He is coming soon!

WHO WILL YOU TRUST ?
Greeting ,
I trust you are doing well in the Lord. I am praising the Lord for his goodness and His mercy.I hope you are able to praise Him also. I have been on the road all day and I am writing this from my motel here in Altoona PA. As I was driving today I have been talking to the Lord and praying for his church . I am so glad that I have Him with me where ever I go and I can pray for my family and know he is watching over them, that gives me great peace . The longer I know the Lord the more I know that I can trust him with my life.When we turn our lives over to him completely that is when we began to realize how helpless we are with out Him, HE must be a part of everthing we do. We get our selves in trouble when we don't let him take control of our every day lives.We offen think that He is there only for the big storms or events that we can't control; but so offten it is the little things in our lives that keeps eroding our faith.We have to trust Christ in every battle and in every storm. I am reminded of Paul when he was on his way to Rome to stand trial, they where sailing near Cnidus and the wind was against them.They arrived at Fair Haven near the town of Lasea. they had loss alot of time and the sea was becoming very dangerous for sea travel because it was so late in the fall, so Paul spoke to the ship's officers about it.
Men", he said, I believe there is trouble ahead if we go on- shipwreck, loss of cargo and danger to our lives as well', But the officer in charge of the prisoners listened mor to the ship's captain and the owner than to Paul. ACTS 27 :10-11 NLT . The officer is a lot like us if we are honest with ourselves , we listen to people more than we do the Lord; And find ourselves in a storm that can ship wreck our lives. Pray about everything , Christ wants to be a part of everything we do.Paul knew who to go to for the answers, He prayed about everything .If you don't know what to pray for let the Holy Spirit pray for you. And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example ,we don't know what God wants us to pray for . But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groaning that can not be expressed in words. Romans 8:26NLT .Who do you trust? Do you trust in your friends more than Christ? Do you trust in yourself more than Christ, Friends will let you down , even the best friends will eventuality will , they don't meant too but they are human . Some times we let our selves down, but there is one that will never let you down and that is Christ the anchor of our soul.That's who Paul was listening to and that is who we need to turn to for our questions and decisions we have .If we would, it would save us from a lot of hurt and pain. GOD BLESS ''' send in your prayer request. Let me hear from you . I trust you will pray for this ministry , and for Mayo we are steping out in faith to reach as many souls for the Lord as we can. AMEN
I trust you are doing well in the Lord. I am praising the Lord for his goodness and His mercy.I hope you are able to praise Him also. I have been on the road all day and I am writing this from my motel here in Altoona PA. As I was driving today I have been talking to the Lord and praying for his church . I am so glad that I have Him with me where ever I go and I can pray for my family and know he is watching over them, that gives me great peace . The longer I know the Lord the more I know that I can trust him with my life.When we turn our lives over to him completely that is when we began to realize how helpless we are with out Him, HE must be a part of everthing we do. We get our selves in trouble when we don't let him take control of our every day lives.We offen think that He is there only for the big storms or events that we can't control; but so offten it is the little things in our lives that keeps eroding our faith.We have to trust Christ in every battle and in every storm. I am reminded of Paul when he was on his way to Rome to stand trial, they where sailing near Cnidus and the wind was against them.They arrived at Fair Haven near the town of Lasea. they had loss alot of time and the sea was becoming very dangerous for sea travel because it was so late in the fall, so Paul spoke to the ship's officers about it.
Men", he said, I believe there is trouble ahead if we go on- shipwreck, loss of cargo and danger to our lives as well', But the officer in charge of the prisoners listened mor to the ship's captain and the owner than to Paul. ACTS 27 :10-11 NLT . The officer is a lot like us if we are honest with ourselves , we listen to people more than we do the Lord; And find ourselves in a storm that can ship wreck our lives. Pray about everything , Christ wants to be a part of everything we do.Paul knew who to go to for the answers, He prayed about everything .If you don't know what to pray for let the Holy Spirit pray for you. And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example ,we don't know what God wants us to pray for . But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groaning that can not be expressed in words. Romans 8:26NLT .Who do you trust? Do you trust in your friends more than Christ? Do you trust in yourself more than Christ, Friends will let you down , even the best friends will eventuality will , they don't meant too but they are human . Some times we let our selves down, but there is one that will never let you down and that is Christ the anchor of our soul.That's who Paul was listening to and that is who we need to turn to for our questions and decisions we have .If we would, it would save us from a lot of hurt and pain. GOD BLESS ''' send in your prayer request. Let me hear from you . I trust you will pray for this ministry , and for Mayo we are steping out in faith to reach as many souls for the Lord as we can. AMEN

Come to Me
Good evening,
I trust that you have had a great day. I know that sometimes that is hard to do. We have so much going on in our lives that sometimes it is easy to get distracted from things in our lives that really matter . I have had times in my life that I felt like I had the weight of the world on me. It becomes difficult at times like that to stay focus on the important things. When I am having days like that I learned a long time ago to run to the Lord. Jesus said in Matthew 11:28 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest . Take my yoke upone you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Over the years I have watch as folks went through difficult times in their lives , and have seen that they will do one of two things they will either run to the Lord or away from him.I have learn to run to Him, rest for your soul is an awesome thing ,peace in times of great trials can only come from the Lord. We are to take one day at a time, do not waste todays grace on tomorrow.Every trial we go through makes us stonger. I read somewhere that you can't grow an oat tree in a flower pot. How true that is .It is only during the storms that our roots sink deep into the bed rock that anchors our soul, that is Christ my savior , Christ my king, Christ my shield, Christ , the one that carries me when I can not walk. Do you have rest today? I know where you can find it. Ask Christ to come into your life in a real way. He is faithful to do what He said he would do. COME UNTO ME ALL WHO ARE WEARY. All you have to do is come to Christ, He is waiting on you. GOD BLESS It is my prayer that you experience the love of Christ my Lord and SAVIOR. AMEN
