My Brothers and Sisters
07/18/2015
My brothers and sisters, in this way remain strong in the Lord. I love you all and long for you. Dear friends, you are my joy and my crown.
Here is what I’m asking Abounding Love Ministries Worldwide and The Prayer Outreach to do. I’m asking them to work together in the Lord. That’s because they both belong to the Lord. My true companions, here is what I ask you to do. Help these Ministries, because they are Gods Ministries. They are a blessing from God so we may spread the good news. Your names are all written in the book of life.
Always be joyful because you all belong to the Lord. I will say it again. Be joyful! Let everyone know how gentle you are. The Lord is coming soon. Don’t worry about anything. No matter what happens, tell God about everything. Ask and pray, and give thanks to him. Then God’s peace will watch over your hearts and your minds. He will do this because you belong to Christ Jesus. God’s peace can never be completely understood.
Finally, my brothers and sisters, always think about what is true. Think about what is noble, right and pure. Think about what is lovely and worthy of respect. If anything is excellent or worthy of praise, think about those kinds of things. Do what you have learned or received or heard from me. Follow my example. Then God who gives peace will be with you all.
At last you are concerned about me. That makes me very happy. We belong to the Lord. I know that you are concerned. But you had no chance to show it. I’m not saying this because I need anything. I have learned to be content no matter what happens to me. I know what it’s like not to have what I need. I also know what it’s like to have more than I need. I have learned the secret of being content no matter what happens. I am content whether I am well fed or hungry. I am content whether I have more than enough or not enough. I can do all this by the power of Christ. He gives me strength.
However it has been good of you to share in my troubles. And you believers at ALMs and TPO know what is happening daily here. These groups are my Church and I believe the help for me in the matter of giving and receiving will come. You are the only ones that are here praying. From the beginning the early days when you first joined ALMs and TPO. You prayed for me when I needed it. And you did it more than once. It is not that I want your gifts. What I really want is what is best for you all. I do not receive pay and however Debbie and I have enough most of the time. I have everything I need. That’s because you brought prayers for me as gifts. They are a sweet-smelling offering. They are a gift that God accepts. He is pleased with it. My God will meet all your needs. He will meet them in keeping with his wonderful riches. These riches come to you because you belong to Christ Jesus.
Give glory to our God and Father for ever and ever. Amen.
Greet all God’s people. For they belong to Christ Jesus.
To you my brothers and sisters who are with me I thank you for all you do.
All God’s people here send let us greet the new members in love.
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
I have to confess I borrowed this from The Apostle Paul Philippians 4 it said all that I have been wanting to say. So it is basically Philippians 4 I just made it personal to all of you. You have no idea how special all of you are to me. I just wanted to thank you all and bless you…
