Dear Friend,
Greetings in the Matchless Name of Jesus!
Hello precious Kingdom Partners! Do you know that we have a divine connection? I truly believe our God is leading you by His Spirit, to read this letter at this time. I have consecrated my life to our Lord to serve you, and He has mandated me to consistently remind you of who you REALLY are in His eyes. His power is “TOWARDS you,” and “IN you” RIGHT NOW, as a Born-Again Believer in Jesus Christ! You are forgiven, set free, chosen, royal and holy (John 14:16-17 & John 15:16; Galatians 5:1; Ephesians 1:7-8 & 1:19; 1 Peter 2:9).
Much is vying for our attention by appealing to our emotions during this 2023 holiday season. Retailers and online shopping sites try to convince us that spending oney on their products will bring us joy. We may even be tempted to go into debt to win the love and approval of others through giving them gifts we can’t afford.
As the holiday season approaches, we need to be mindful of our thoughts because if we don’t keep our minds fixed on the Word of God, it’s too easy to fall into negative thoughts from the enemy, which produce emotions of sadness, fear, loneliness, shame, and regret. God’s Word is not based on our emotions. His grace is perfect to forgive and cleanse our souls, and He even strengthens us to go forward and embrace new beginnings (2 Timothy 2:1; 1 John 1:9).

We are to carry the light of Christ to others and if loneliness comes, we must focus on His Word and know the Lord is our unseen guest and ever-present help. Let’s thank God for all the blessings we have today. If you need spiritual help to overcome temptations, please contact our Pastoral Department and one of our ministers will be happy to pray for you and encourage you in God’s Word. If you need professional help, please, by all means, prayerfully seek a professional to help you overcome.
This can be such a beautiful time of the year and a great opportunity to volunteer, to fellowship, and embrace new beginnings. Our Messiah is seated at the right and of God! He conquered death and the grave and was well-acquainted with grief and sorrow way beyond anything we can ever experience.
I taught a series to equip you with understanding the warnings and promises to the seven churches in the Book of Revelation. Every Believer should equip themselves to know what the Holy Spirit is saying to the church today (Revelation 3:20-22). The same Spirit of God who spoke to the seven churches in the Book of Revelation is still speaking to us today, individually, and collectively, to instruct and encourage us to grow in the knowledge of God and in the unity of the faith (Ephesians 4:12-24). Revelation 3:19 (NKJV), says “As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.” I have a responsibility before God and to you, to bring us all into the unity of the faith by lovingly speaking the truth and warning you of deception and sin.
I want to encourage you to listen to the first lesson from the third installment of my teaching on “The Church is Closed” entitled, Christ’s Final Words. This teaching is yours for a love gift of any amount. There is no better way to celebrate the birth of our Savior than to hear what He has promised to those who will overcome the hour of temptation that will surely befall the earth before His appearance. These words will encourage you to look forward to a new beginning in the coming year, knowing how much you are loved by our Savior and Lord.
May your Christmas holiday be cheerful and bright! Remember, God’s richest and best will be yours as you seek Him first.
In the Service of the King,

PS: The Word of God says that it is more blessed to give than it is to receive (Acts 20:35). Why? Because the key to receiving is giving! If Ever Increasing Faith was a blessing to you in 2023, then I encourage you to give cheerfully into this ministry, remembering always to claim a bountiful return in the coming year for yourself and those you love.
