LIVING ON A FIRM FOUNDATION IN UNCERTAIN TIMES

My prayer is that this email finds you walking in the goodness and purpose of God for this season. I want to express my sincere gratitude to you as a Covenant Partner of this ministry for continuing to stand with us during this COVID 19 global crisis. God faithfully continues to supply abundantly for this ministry. We have been able to continue the international outreach and partnerships God has given us around the world. Your faithful support has also allowed us to sow additionally into projects that are ministering to populations that are facing monumental daily challenges because of the COVID 19 crisis. My heart has truly been overjoyed with your faithfulness and what God has enabled us to be a part of during this season; it has only been possible because of your faithful support.
 
In my email to you in the month of February, I told you about my goal to finish a small book on the subject of faith. While the book has become a little longer than I anticipated, I am excited to report that this past Monday I sent the first draft of the manuscript to the publisher. The title of the book is "Trust: God's Unseen Power to Change the World." The target date for the release of the book is September 7, 2020. The book will also be released with a study guide for use in a small group setting. I ask that you agree with me that this project will be everything God intends it to be! I believe this project will be a powerful tool in equipping and empowering the Body of Christ around the world. As our nation and nations around the world begin to slowly reopen, I also ask that you agree with us that God will continue to grant us wisdom and understanding in planning and decision making. Since this crisis began, we have had to postpone nine events. I have absolute confidence God will work everything for His good, but we are certainly in need of His guidance and wisdom.
 
We can know with assurance that God was not the author of the current world crisis; however, it is also true that God passionately desired this season to be one of divine reset for the Body of Christ. Reset is defined as "again or to see differently." God has been so gracious to visit me nearly every morning since this crisis began. As God has visited me, He has challenged me, spoken clearly, and repeatedly emphasized certain truths to me. While many of the truths God has highlighted to me are certainly not new, the truths He has highlighted are always relevant and fundamental for every believer. It is the fundamentals that allow us to navigate every storm and trial in life including this current, unprecedented crisis. I want to share some of the truths God has highlighted to me in this season:
 

• We were created to find our greatest satisfaction in knowing God (Psalm 16:11).
• Prioritizing friendship with God is not an option (Philippians 3:10).
• In the context of friendship with God, we must spend intentional time listening and resting in His presence (Psalm 27:14).
• In the context of friendship with God, it is crucial to make a record of what He has spoken and therefore promised (Habakkuk 2:2).
• God enjoys visiting and abiding in His people (Psalm 104:31).
• God has promised to draw near to those who draw near to Him (James 4:8).
• Our purpose and gifting is simply a fruit of our pursuit to be like Him (Ephesians 5:1).
• God is incredibly interested and has made a great investment in our daily lives (Luke 12:6-7).
• The Spirit of wisdom and revelation is critical to our lives (Ephesians 1:17-19).
• God cannot operate in our lives beyond our place of thinking (Matthew 4:17).
• Thinking like God is crucial to becoming like God (John 6:29).
• It is crucial we leave this season correctly to properly enter the next season of harvest God has prepared for the Body of Christ (Galatians 6:7).
• We are in a season of unprecedented revelation for the Body of Christ.
• Pentecost Sunday, May 30, 2020, will be monumental for the Body of Christ around the world.

 
I share these truths God has highlighted to me in this season to encourage you to take time to meditate and bring them before God to see how they specifically apply to you and your family in this season. I believe it is vital that we take responsibility for this season in history God has given us the privilege of stewarding.  I believe if we act as God directs, we will move into an unprecedented season for the Body of Christ in the earth. It is truly the greatest time to be alive!
