December 2012
My Friends and Partners,
To God be all the Glory for this day; a day we have never seen before. I am exceedingly
blessed to be able to prepare this letter, and share with you what God is yet doing in
these last days. First know I am where God wants’ me to be, right now during this season of my life. I am home most of the time. I don’t drive all over town like I use to.
Second, I do take naps during the day. Moving about tends to drain my energy and my
body requires rest. Third, my health continues to go up and down and this limits
my overall activities. My daughter has placed herself in position to hold up my
arms in this Ministry. God has anointed her, giving her a special role which she
is joyfully fulfilling. The message God gave her is a right now Word for this season
we are in. Titled: There is Hope in Jesus.
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and
not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future (NIV)
Proverbs 23:18 There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.
Isaiah 41: 18 I will open rivers in high places and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will
make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.
As Christians we know the truth of Gods Word. We know that he is our source of
strength in this world. We know that we can call on him in the midnight hours of our
distress and he will hear us when we pray. We know that when our load gets so heavy
that we think we can not bear it, he has promised us that he would be there, that he would never leave us nor forsake us. We know that his grace and mercy is everlasting and that when we fall he is there with arms outstretched to pick us up. We know that his Love looks pass our weaknesses and misunderstandings and keeps us despite ourselves.
But have we shared this Good news with the Jovan Belcher’s of the world? This young
man was in a hopeless state. His choice was to kill his girl friend and then kill himself.
He chose death instead of life. We have the hope that he and the world need. Have we told anybody about the Hope that is in Jesus?
As Christian we have a calling to share with others the Hope of Jesus. Don’t let the day go by without telling someone what he has done for you. There are so many out there who feel lost and in despair. You have the answer and you can not keep it to yourself.
Ask somebody to come to church; ask a neighbor, ask the mailman, ask the store clerk,
ask the one you meet on the street, ask a co-worker, ask a friend, ask a relative, ask the teacher, ask somebody to come and go with me to church. We can all do that.
You don’t know what their need is but God does. Let this become your call to find someone you can take to church each month. Let this become your call to talk to someone every week sharing a good deed of love. Tell that clerk, I pray you have a good day today. Tell that co-worker thanks for helping me with the extra job I had to do.
Show Gods love to somebody every week.
We can make a difference. God said in his Word we are the SALT of the earth. We are those who know Jesus as born again Christians. I encourage you to begin to let your
Light shine; let others see Christ in you. You carry the Hope of Jesus. You and I carry
him every where we go. Don’t hesitate. Don’t think there is nothing you can do.
Remember it is not you; but the Christ in you that does the work. God give us what we need to accomplish whatever he desires of us. God through Jesus does the work. It’s not you but Christ.
Jesus is the gift of Love. He came to give each of us life. Receive this gift and pass it on.
This is one of those gifts you give away. The more you give the more it returns to you.
Let this season become a time you learn to give, give, and give that others may see Christ in you and receive the Hope that Is In Jesus.
I paraphrased this message written by Minister Tanya Hoffman given 16 December 2012
at Peace Chapel Church, Fayetteville, NC, Bishop E. Turner, Pastor.

ALSO HEBREWS 4: 12 THE WORD HAS POWER
EVERYTHING WE NEED TO JOURNEY THROUGH
THIS LIFE AS CHRISTIANS IS FOUND IN THE WORD.
IS FOUND IN GOD. HE HAS AND CONTINUES TO PROVIDED FOR US
WE DON'T HAVE TO SEARCH ALL OVER THE WORLD
LOOKING FOR THAT SOMETHING TO FULLFILL US,
ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS GET IN THIS WORD AND ALLOW THE WORD TO GET IN US.
WHAT EVER WE NEED, WHATEVER CHANGE IS NEEDED IN OUR LIVES
GOD CAN DO ANYTHING. HE WILL FIX IT.
GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF ALL OUR NEEDS HE WILL MAKE US WHAT WE NEED TO BE.
HE WILL OPEN DOORS FOR US, MAKE WAYS FOR US.
YES, THIS GOD WE SERVE WILL KEEP US IN PERFECT PEACE. HE JUST WANTS US
TO LOVE HIM, TO SERVE HIM.
GOD CAN DO ANY THING. THERE IS NOTHING TOO HARD FOR GOD
I WANT TO SHARE THESE FEW WORDS ABOUT STANDING UP IN GOD.
STANDING UP IN GOD. DURING THESE TRYING TIMES IT BECOMES EASY
TO JUST GIVE UP AND SAY WHAT THE HECK. IT DOES'T MATTER WHAT I DO,
IT DOES'T MATTER WHERE I GO, WHO CARES.
I COME TO TELL YOU GOD CARES. HE'S AN ALL KNOWING GOD.
HE ALREADY KNOWS WHAT WE NEED BEFORE WE DO
HE ALREADY KNEW WHAT WAS COMING BEFORE WE DID.
HE KNEW THE PAIN YOU WOULD BE GOING THRU,
HE KNEW THE DESPAIR YOU WOULD FEEL ,
HE KNEW THE HOPELESSNESS, YOU WOULD SUFFER WHEN
YOUR LOVE ONE DIED. HE KNEW ALL THAT YOU WOULD GO THRU
HE KNEW, HE KNEW.
THE BIBLE SAYS HE ALPHA AND OMEGA
THE BEGINNING AND THE END
HE KNOWS OUR GETTING UP AND OUR LYING DOWN
HE KNOWS EVERY HAIR ON OUR HEADS. HE KNEW US BEFORE WE KNEW OURSELVES
HE KNOWS US NOW AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN HIDE FROM GOD
IT DOES NOT MATTER WHERE YOU ARE OR WHAT YOU DO. GOD IS ALL KNOWING.
GOD IS LOVE SO HE CARES ABOUT EACH OF US. HE SAYS CAST YOUR CARES UPON ME
HE WANTS TO CARRY OUR LOAD OF PAIN, HE WANTS CARRY THAT BURDEN, HE WANTS US TO GIVE IT TO HIM. HE WANTS OUR LOVE AND DEVOTION. HE WANTS US TO TRUST HIM.
HE WANTS US TO STAND UP IN HIM, STAND UP KNOWING THAT NO MATTER WHAT COMES
GODS GOT IT.
NO MATTER HOW DARK THE NIGHT MIGHT BE IN OUR LIVES. GOD CAN TURN THE LIGHT ON.
GOD'S GOT IT.
NO MATTER HOW ROUGH THE WATERS OF LIFE MAY ROLL, GOD CAN SPEAK TO THE WAVES AND SAY PEACE BE STILL, FOR HE CAN CALM THE ROLLING SEA'S.
GOD'S GOT IT.
WHEN THE STORMS OF LIFE SEEM TO BE OUT OF CONTROL, WE KNOW THAT GOD
CAN AND GOD WILL COME TO OUR RESCUE. HE WILL HOLD US SAFE IN HIS ARMS.
HE WILL BE OUR SHEILD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STORM HE WILL KEEP US
AND PROTECT US NO MATTER WHAT COMES OUR WAY.
GOD'S GOT IT.
STANDING UP IN GOD REQUIRES THAT WE REST ASSURED IN THE KNOWLEDGE
THAT GODS GOT IT, WHATEVER 'IT' IS. STANDING UP IN GOD MEANS WE
WILL TRUST HIM NO MATTER WHAT COMES OUR WAY, WE STAND , WE STAND
WE STAND. WE STAND EVEN IF WE STAND ALONE. WE STAND EVEN AS WE WATCH THE WAVES COMING OUR WAY, WE STAND EVEN WHEN WE CAN'T SEE WHICH WAY TO GO
WE STAND UP IN GOD.
THERE IS NO GIVING UP AND THERE IS NO GOING BACK.
WE STAND UP IN GOD, NO MATTER WHAT.
I ENCOURAGE YOU TO TRY JESUS NOW BEFORE ITS TO LATE.
LET HIM BE THE GOD IN YOUR LIFE. STAND UP WITHOUT FEAR.
THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO HAVE PEACE IN YOUR LIFE.
I CHALLENGE YOU. TRY JESUS, LET HIS LOVE BECOME REAL
IN YOU. JOHN 3:16 , PROVERBS 3:5
RECIEVE HIM NOW.
FATHER I ASK YOU TO BLESS THOSE WHO READ THESE MOMENTS. ALLOW THE LOVE
THAT ONLY YOU CAN GIVE WASH THEM CLEAN, GIVING THEM A MIND TO LOVE YOU AND ONE ANOTHER.
THIS IS YOUR SERVANTS PRAYER. AMEN

MY DEAR FRIENDS, AND PARTNERS,
I am still holding on to this god we serve. He keeps on blessing me
Despite me; and I give Him all the glory.
I now use a cane, and require the electric wheel chair when I go
shopping. But God has enabled me to have my right mind,
and still preach and teach as He gives me utterance.
Oh, how wonderful to know God loves me still.
I am feeling better as the days go by. I have a desire to put
on the website some of those thought I wrote you about last year.
(Bible Study, question and answer section, live messages)
Wait on me as God opens the door, I will walk right in.
I solicit your prayers and as I keep working for Jesus, doing what he
has for me to do.
I want you to keep holding on to this faith we have; for without Christ
we are nothing. We will fall unless we stay connected to the Word of God.
This world we live in is not our home. We did not come here to stay.
We came here to die and to lead others to the saving grace of
Jesus Christ. Yes, things are tough and they will get tougher. But the
God we serve is able to deliver each of us from the jaws of death.
I encourage you no matter how tough things get, remember where
your strength is. This is the time to lean really lean on Jesus.
Psalm 23, never gets old, recite it every day as you go about your
activities. Let the words of that Psalm penetrate your heart leaving a
peace that guides and keeps you.
If you have not claimed Christ as the Lord of your life; Do so right now.
Let me know what steps you have taken to get closer to Christ. Be sure to attend a Bible Believing Church. You need to grow in the Word of God

A Prayer for the Hour
Oh, Lord my God, we need you every hour of the day.
We need the wisdom that only you can give. We need that assurance that
brings peace in the midst of the storms of this life. We need you Lord right now.
Lord we know you are an unchanging God, and that what you did yesterday,
you can do today. So we are looking for deliverance and your presence in
these trying times. We are looking for you to show up and show out, letting the World
know you are still in control. The Bible tells us in Luke 1:37 For with God nothing shall
be impossible. John 3:16 Lets us know that we have hope in Jesus, and nothing can
separate us from his love. Jesus came for you and for me. His love will carry us through
and bring us to his place of peace. Lord touch heal and deliver this your people as we
begin a new day in you. Let us feel your presence and love as you cover us
and keep us in this season of our lives. Yes Lord my faith is built on nothing less
than the blood you shed on calvery's cross just for me. Thank you for loving me.
I'm holding on Lord to your unchanging hand.
A servant of the only true and Living God, Jesus Christ.
