Declaring TRUTH!



Hey Family!

This little video- you may have already seen it- but it's worth another listen! We have adopted this all over up here! Especially the *clap* !

I have to tell you a story about last night's Friday Night Worship- there have been several new people coming in and out- one lady was healed of a spot on her arm that was healed, and God was doing an incredible work in her (tears, tears- it was beautiful) and then she gave her life to Christ. Last night there was a young man I have never seen before. He stood out- wearing a black leather jacked that said "wicked clown" ! But what I noticed most was his hunted look. Later, Phil told me that he came with our friend Ron, who apparently has picked him up hitchhiking several times. He lives near Ron. One time when he picked him up, Ron said, "I saw death all over him." So Ron asked him, "would you like to accept Christ?" The young man said "no." So Ron, undaunted, said, "Well, then can I just pray a blessing over you?" He said yes. So Ron started to bless him, and he could see that the young man was getting - blessed. So he stopped, and asked again, "Would you like to accept Christ now?" The young man said yes this time. Ron has been meeting with him and encouraging him, and brought him to FNW last night. Another young man- the one who met our worship carolers on the streets last summer- went to school with him. He said he almost didn't recognize him- just a month ago, he said, his eyes were so dark. But last night, he was different.

He still looked hunted to me. But imagine what he looked like a month ago. Please family- will you pray for this young man? His name is Todd. Pray that he will continue to seek Christ and grow closer - to both Jesus and His body here. Pray he will seek healing and freedom, and eventually enter into the destiny God has for him!

So family, we seriously need your prayer- especially on Friday nights. So many enter our home- and while I have not spent a moment worrying about this, once in awhile it does occur to me that we are putting ourselves out on a limb. Pray....we need your covering and support. Let us know if you get any encouraging words from the Lord-

We also know that there may come a time that we will need to move this meeting to a larger place. Pray that when that time comes, the Lord just shows us where. So many have said - in one way or another- "I love friday night worship.....there is so much peace." I know this is probably mostly what we all bring, but still- we want the right place.

Anyway, enjoy Jessica's Daily Affirmation....imagine if we all lived with that kind of attitude! Words create worlds!

love, us Thoofts
