"Jos, we are praying for you"


 
Dear Jos,

We are praying that even though the house gets sold, perhaps the new owners will let you stay on as tenants ( at the same price). It's a large order, but we do serve a wonder-working God. Or perhaps the Australian owners may change their minds and keep the house, thus allowing you to continue renting as before.

Yet, if the situation causes you to have to move, God WILL provide the means. Just keep trusting in Him as you already are doing now. We have found that the most effectual means for answered prayer are
two offerings:

1.) A spirit of praise and thankfulness in all situations .."an attitude of gratitude"

2.) Singing hymns in one's heart all day long

We wrestle not with flesh and blood-- but with the forces of evil powers and principalities.
Whenever Israel went to battle, God put Judah out first .. Judah meaning "praise", and the people sang unto the Lord. God told them that the battle was His, and not theirs. They were to
"stand still and see the salvation ( deliverance) of the LORD". Exodus 14: 13, 14
"The LORD shall fight for you"

These Last Days are a time of sorrows ( Matthew 24: 8 )  before the Rapture, a testing of the people of God to see how deep and enduring our trust in God is. "Judging ( discerning ) must begin at the house of God " it says in
1 Peter 4:17

We are also keeping your daughter in prayer daily to be delivered of her lifestyle choice. And for your wife to be healed of her jaundice and your child of the kidney disease.

May the Lord bless you Jos in your faithfulness to turn to Him with all your cares :
"Casting all your cares upon Him, for He careth for you" 1 Peter 5 : 7

Thank you for giving all of us the privilege to pray for your need. It becomes a blessing for all of us and for you.
" What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer"
In Him,
Jim and Angela
