" Declare His Doings? "

" In that day shall ye say, Praise the Lord, call upon His name, Declare His doings among the people, make mention that His name is exalted. Sing unto the Lord; for He hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth."             -----Isaiah 12:4-5

Thoughts from the Pastor:
While in prayer and meditation, I was reminded of the awesome things that God has done in our church family.  As we celebrate our Anniversary month, we are "Declaring God's Doings in our Midst!"  From the beginning of our Church life 29 years ago, we have many, many things to Declare regarding our God and His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. He has walked with this people through many hardships, dangers, and adverse conditions; yet His hand has always been upon us.  Many healings have taken place as the saints stood together in prayer.  Miraculous things: a small child fell out of a second story window, lit on the cement drive and God preserved him from harm.  Just last week or so, a parishioner's son was hit by a van, flown in the air and came down hard up the pavement, by God's Grace he walked away.  The sorrows and loss, the hardships came and went and God remained our strength in the time of sorrow.  He was our comfort in the adverse seasons of our lives.  There have been several soldiers that we have kept on our Prayer LIst and they have returned home safely: Salvations have taken place in the Counseling Chamber along with healed marriages and homes.  Lives changed by the power of our God.  Prisoners have been Biblically educated, ordained and are serving in ministry behind bars, advancing the Kingdom as we speak!  Once when food was being delivered through our Food Cupboard a lady gave her heart to Jesus!  O that men would "Declare" the doings of the Lord!  He is our substance, our strength and the Love of our Life!
               Thanking God for everyone who reads this declaration!
                                  Loving you, Pastor
