Steadfast

The other day when I found out that Pastor Josh was sick with a high fever and feeling awful, I reacted in a way that surprised me. Of course, I was sad to hear he was sick but mainly I was TICKED. It seems of late that many people that we know are going through some unusually tough situations. There has been a lot of sickness, especially the Singletons, financial problems, relationship difficulties, car accidents and so on. I was ticked because I'm tired of the devil messing with people I love. I prayed all day Friday for Pastor Josh and rebuked the devil for all he thinks he can do to us. So take this devil:

People are giving their hearts and lives to Jesus. Some for the first time and some as a rededication; getting back to right relationship with God. Pastor Josh has been preaching a series about baggage and some have been able to receive emotional healing from past problems.

Bodies are being healed in Jesus' name including baby Thora, Amy's friend who was so sick, Grandma GiGi, my knees and many more!

Finances will be taken care of in Jesus name because the Lord is faithful to provide for those who love and serve Him. Period, no debate.

Keaton's car accident ended up blessing him with a better car for only a few dollars a month more on his payment. It's a sweet deal on a fully loaded Taurus. All the bells and whistles!

The Buzz is off to an incredible start and will only get better. Not only is it fun but families are spending time together hearing the Word and continuing the learning at home. The devil LOVES to destroy families and The Buzz is only making his job tougher. HA!

The Lord is bringing new families to JCFC every week.

Pastor Josh has had some opportunities to connect with people in the community that shows we not only have favor with God but favor with man. We do not seek man's approval but having favor will benefit the Kingdom of God.

More people at JCFC are getting involved with ministry and that can only do one thing...bring us closer together.

Daddy Date Night was a beautiful time for our fathers and daughters. And we have a lot more events coming up that help build relationships and give opportunities to invite others.

So I say...remain steadfast...stand on the promises of God...pray harder than you've ever prayed before...and get ready for even more victories!
