Need is a powerful word, it is a word that we all use freely when talking with family. We need this or that, God has promised to provide all our needs. My cousin calledh home and told his mom, God will provide all my needs, is that right mom? "Yes, his mom responded." Then I need a red convertable for school. Girls like red and it is a great need. You can image what my aunt responded. But he had this need. What is your need today?
I want to say that the Word of God goes beyond supplying our needs, God has promise to give us a new heart, and new life and then to give us the desires of our heart. I believe that, but most of us don't know what our desires are really.
The will of God is discovered and not decided by us. We who are born again have become new creations in Christ Jesus. We are completely new, forgiven, cleaned and created for good works. Those good works that the Father has prepared before hand for us to involved with in this life. Life is short, you will only really know that when you can count many friends that have gone on before you. As I set here today, a friends son of 56 years old when to be with the Lord not lest that ten days ago on a missions trip. Another notice came of a young youth pastor's wife going home under 30 years of age with cancer. What am I trying to say, life is short, we have not promise of how long our life will be down here. So count your days and enjoy the journey, that is all we have is today.
Love you, keep growing in the Lord, the time is coming when we will all be around the throne talking about old times together, these are the days we must create memories for eternity. We have only a few days to win victories, that we will celebrate together for all of eternity.
Please pray for Angola, I hope to be there in April 2008. Our school there is started with about 5,000 students, keep them and the churches in your prayers. Thank you!
Blessings,

Your Prayers and Partnership Our Needed for Our Liberia Ministry
Good Morning! This was the promise to Israel when they went out to fight.
Leviticus 26:7-9 And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword. [8] And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword. [9] For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.
Deut. 32:30-31 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the Lord had shut them up? [31] For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
Proverbs 16:7 When a man's ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
Everyone needs a team, it is a joy to have you on our team for missions.
It is evening, but seems like morning, as we work for our ministry trip to Liberia, West Africa. The needs are many and we would like to invite you to pray of those listed here today.
1. We will be ministering in a Pastor's Church Conference. Pray that the Lord release healing among these people, also that visitors will come and receive Christ as their Savior.
2. We have asked God to give us 35 friends that help with $100 for the trip costs. As of today we have 12 friends that have been able to help. So your help is needed. (You can make the check to Abundant Life Association/ mail to: ALA / PO Box 883 / Mount Prospect, IL 60056. Mark for Liberia Outreach on memo line.)
3. We will be visiting two other ministries and making plans for future partnership and ministry in Africa. Please keep the 54 nations of Africa in your prayers.

Liberia Ministry & Fact Finding Trip September 2007
Dear Friends,Please keep my upcoming trip to Liberia in your prayers. I have been invited by Pastor Stephen D. Lewis to speak at their up coming convention in September 2007 for four days. Pr. Lewis and his churches desire to become part of our African Fellowship of Abundant Life Association.
I hope also to make contact with other missionaries working in the nation. This year we were able to send rice and rice vinegar to the needy nation. The nation is 3.3 million people and continues to have an unemployment rate of 80% to 85 %. The believers in Liberia need our prayers and support.
The nation is coming out of a 14 year Civil War. There is a great need to rebuild the nation and reach the people with the Gospel. 60% of Liberia needs the Gospel. Again remember the churches, pastors and people among the Faith in Christ Churches, Monrovia, Liberia.
We will be ministering as the Lord permits on Healing, Christian Stewardship and Miracles for the nation.
Blessings,
Eldon

The Prayer of Three
It is powerful and will open your world to see the lost won to Christ.
The gathering can be 2 to 4 people, who come for a month, they bring a list of three people they would like to see saved.
The first month, they pray each week together, then in the 2nd and 3rd months they invite these people to attend the house meeting.
The house meeting has five elements, prayer, worship, fellowship, Word of God and invitation. The goal is to invite people into fellowship and to receive Christ as their Savior.
Blessings,

Jeremiah the Weeping Prophet
Jeremiah the Weeping Prophet
In the autobiography of this weeping prophet of Judah, one of God’s greatest prophets we find someone who challenged his own nation with their great sins:
1. There was their sin of apostasy … desertion, defection, withdrawal, abandonment, falseness and tergiversation.
2. There was their sin of idolatry … worship of idols, worship, adoration, reverence, burnt offering, idol-worship and fan’s idol worship. Fan’s idol worship is seen as infatuation, obsession, mania, fervor, excitement, enthusiasm, excessive devotion, and ecstasy.
3. There was their perverted worship … deviating, distorted, corrupt, wicked, abnormal, misguided, freakish, aberrant and unnatural. Aberrant worship is deviate, deviating, devious, divergent, diverging, errant, erring, straying or wondering worship.
4. There was their moral decay … The one that is not moral is immoral, moral means all that is virtuous, pure and good. Immoral means that they were immoral, unethical, evil and vicious. Vicious means corrupt, reprehensible, malicious and untamed. Corrupt means one is degenerate, vile, depraved, immoral, iniquitous, profligate, base and bad. While reprehensible means blameworthy, censurable, improper and wrong. Then malicious means refractory, malevolent, spiteful, malignant, bad –tempered, and ill tempered. Untamed means to be wild and unruly. So they were without morals.
Decay means it is not flourishing, growing, increasing or making any progress. Decay is decline, ebb, decadence, decrease, failure, consumption, ruin, degeneration and collapse. Anther word used for decay is rot, which means waste, decomposition, adulteration, and break down, putrefaction, breakup, corrupt and crumble.
For these and other sins the Judgement of God was in the nations near future. Be forewarned that judgement is coming. But to our surprise the people of Judah will the resent example of Israel. Their response is not repentance toward God, but rejection of the prophet and God’s message. So Jeremiah who ministered for forty years experiences opposition, isolation, imprisonment and exile. He called and served forty years of faithful duty, Jeremiah lives to see prophecy fulfilled in God’s judgement of Judah and her exile to Babylon.
Galatians 6:7-8 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap. [8] For he that sows to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that sows to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
Let’s not be deceived today. We will reap what we sow. The law of eventualities what we eat we become, what we sow we will reap. Everyone will be rewarded for his labor, his work in the earth.
Matthew 16:27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
We must be about the will of the Father, as we know it. Then the Holy Spirit will lead us into the works He has called us too.
Jeremiah had a hard ministry, but the Gospel ministry is better things, although not all will believe and be saved, there will be great numbers that hear, respond and become all that God has called them to be! We are to build up the body in Christ Jesus. Amen.
