Forgetting 2013 and Moving Forward into 2014 in Mighty Grace.



As we ready for fellowship, we pray for one another with hearts of love.  Looking back at 2013 through Philippians 3:13, "Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead," we practice forgetting those things which are behind in 2013 as we obediently, reach forward to those things which are ahead in 2014. We give thanks for the readying work of the Holy Spirit in each of our lives.  That He will accomplish what He sets out to do in and through us. That Jesus is coming again. "Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?" Luke 18:8. May He help us forget those things which are not relevant according to Him.  May He see us as faithful and reliant on His grace.  May He see us live by the word of the LORD to Zerrubbabel:

"Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit," says the LORD of hosts.
"Who are you, O great mountain?
Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain!
And he shall bring forth the capstone
With shouts of Grace, Grace to it!"
Zechariah 4:6-7

Like our pastor's message yesterday, entitled "Vision," we prepare by His Spirit, to see mountains reduced to plains, by the power of grace, His grace. May we meet our mountains with mighty shouts from our hearts of grace, grace to them.  May we respond to all in grace.

We look forward to fellowship time.  We appreciate each other so much and ask God's blessings for each of you always, and His leadings, healings and so much more that He so abundantly has prepared for us.  Will He really find faith on the earth when He comes again?  Yes and Amen He will, as we CONTINUE together, letting nothing weigh us down, confuse us, reduce our faith, but by responding to all mountains with shouts of great, mountain reducing, GRACE.  Let's never forsake assembling together as our health and schedules allow. Be blessed this New Years day. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and each other!!!


Happy New Year Church as we serve our King together forever.
