We had a fun meeting this past week at Illona?s. We enjoyed dinner and good conversation.  

 I then took a few minutes to share.   

Psalms 48 vs. 8 As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD Almighty, in the city of our God: God makes her secure forever. Selah 

I had been praying for clear direction on the church plant. I keep hearing “get ready to run.” I felt that we have a strong word; we have just not seen the fruit of it as yet. God then led me to the above verse. As we have heard, so have we seen. It was God confirming once again that not only will we hear His word, but we will see the fruit.  

We must continue to be faithful and know that God is doing a work in all of our lives during this time of waiting.  

I also keep hearing ?Set a Part?  So this week Janice and I are fasting TV. I know that may sound strange since when most people think of fasting they think of food. But for me I need to make sure my mind is clear to hear God?s voice and direction. I am asking that all of our team consider joining with us this week in this fast. If you already rarely watch TV, perhaps there is something else you can give up for the week.

Let us set ourselves apart to hear God?s voice. Let?s press in and take our relationship with Christ to the next level. God has called us to a hard task and it is time for us to step up and press in to launch Redeemer?s Way.

Remember be storng and courageous (Joshua 1:9)
