He Hath Said - Hebrews 13:5

If we can only grasp these words by faith, we have an all-conquering weapon in our hand. What doubt will not be slain by this two-edged sword? What fear is there which shall not fall smitten with a deadly wound before this arrow from the bow of God's covenant? Will not the distresses of life and the pangs of death; will not the corruptions within, and the snares without; will not the trials from above, and the temptations from beneath, all seem but light afflictions, when we can hide ourselves beneath the bulwark of "He hath said"? Yes; whether for delight in our quietude, or for strength in our conflict, "He hath said" must be our daily resort. And this may teach us the extreme value of searching the Scriptures. There may be a promise in the Word which would exactly fit your case, but you may not know of it, and therefore you miss its comfort. You are like prisoners in a dungeon, and there may be one key in the bunch which would unlock the door, and you might be free; but if you will not look for it, you may remain a prisoner still, though liberty is so near at hand. There may be a potent medicine in the great pharmacopoeia of Scripture, and you may yet continue sick unless you will examine and search the Scriptures to discover what "He hath said." Should you not, besides reading the Bible, store your memories richly with the promises of God? You can recollect the sayings of great men; you treasure up the verses of renowned poets; ought you not to be profound in your knowledge of the words of God, so that you may be able to quote them readily when you would solve a difficulty, or overthrow a doubt? Since "He hath said" is the source of all wisdom, and the fountain of all comfort, let it dwell in you richly, as "A well of water, springing up unto everlasting life." So shall you grow healthy, strong, and happy in the divine life.

God, that comforteth those that are cast down. 2 Corinthians 7:6

And who comforteth like Him? Go to some poor, melancholy, distressed child of God; tell him sweet promises, and whisper in his ear choice words of comfort; he is like the deaf adder, he listens not to the voice of the charmer, charm he never so wisely. He is drinking gall and wormwood, and comfort him as you may, it will be only a note or two of mournful resignation that you will get from him; you will bring forth no psalms of praise, no hallelujahs, no joyful sonnets. But let God come to His child, let Him lift up his countenance, and the mourner's eyes glisten with hope. Do you not hear him sing--

"'Tis paradise, if thou art here;
If thou depart, 'tis hell?"

You could not have cheered him: but the Lord has done it; "He is the God of all comfort." There is no balm in Gilead, but there is balm in God. There is no physician among the creatures, but the Creator is Jehovah-rophi. It is marvellous how one sweet word of God will make whole songs for Christians. One word of God is like a piece of gold, and the Christian is the goldbeater, and can hammer that promise out for whole weeks. So, then, poor Christian, thou needest not sit down in despair. Go to the Comforter, and ask Him to give thee consolation. Thou art a poor dry well. You have heard it said, that when a pump is dry, you must pour water down it first of all, and then you will get water, and so, Christian, when thou art dry, go to God, ask Him to shed abroad His joy in thy heart, and then thy joy shall be full. Do not go to earthly acquaintances, for you will find them Job's comforters after all; but go first and foremost to thy "God, that comforteth those that are cast down," and you will soon say, "In the multitude of my thoughts within me Thy comforts delight my soul."

Prayer Letter November, 2011

September 2011 Prayer Letter

September 3, 2011

Greetings:

Praise the Lord for His goodness and mercy! Much has happened since our last prayer letter. We are leaving for Limavady N. Ireland in October 2011. We will be flying out via Dublin then we will take a bus into Northern Ireland.

Our visas are approved and in our hands as we speak. God has been good to us in the way of our visa process. Only a Thrice Holy God can arrange such a quick process through the New York City UK Visa Agency. Within two weeks we were approved for our visas. The visas are good for three years with the opportunity for renewal while in the country.

We are raising money to have a 20 foot shipping container shipped Door to Door via Southhampton, England. The cost of the container will cover all documentations, shipping, customs, and taxing for one price of $5,600.00. We will be using Happy Acres Transporting Missions of Woodstock, GA to help with shipping the container. We have an account setup with Prayer Baptist Mission for any donations and help with the cost of the container. The container will be mostly personal items and ministry materials. If there is anything thing you can do in the way of financial help, please contact our mission board at 864-599-5132 or P.O. Box 160849 Boiling Springs, SC 29316.

Please continue in prayer as we make this transition to Limavady to work with the great people of Roe Valley Baptist Church. Please pray for John and Mary Craig and their children William and Lisa Marie. John is battling some health issues and spiritual set backs. Also, pray for Russell and Katrina Averill and their two sons Mark and Craig.

Thank you for you faithful support and prayers in our behalf.

Prayer Letter for July, 2011

Greetings to all, July 1, 2011

I am glad to report things are moving forward at a steady pace. Our support has increased to where we are able to depart to the mission field by October, 2011.

Personal: The summer will be busy with preparation in moving to Limavady, N. Ireland. We are busy with preparing a shipping container and finishing the approvals of our visas. We are in the second phase of the visa process in regards to the sponsoring paperwork. If all goes through we should have our visa within the next two months. We will be using Happy Acres Transport of Woodstock, GA to help with a shipping container to ship our personal affects to the field.

Field: We have already found a house in Limavady to rent for a great price. The house is now ready for us move into and is reserved for our arrival this fall. We are grateful for the Lord’s blessings and abundant mercy in our behalf. We are blessed only through the prayers of the saints and the faithful churches willing to sacrifice the support needed. Please continue to pray for the people of Roe Valley Baptist Church to stay strong while we are preparing for our arrival this fall. A special prayer request for John and Mary Craig of Limavady. John is battling some personal health issues and diabetes. Mary, his dear wife, is having to carry the load as his caretaker. Satan is working hard in the efforts of destroying this home and family physically and spiritually. Please continue in prayer for our move and the finances needed.
