FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT

 Let as many servants as are under the yoke 

count their own masters worthy of 

all honour, that the name of God 

and his doctrine be not blasphemed.

And they that have believing masters, 

let them not despise them, because they 

are brethren; but rather do them service, 

because they are faithful and beloved, 

partakers of the benefit. These things teach 

and exhort. If any man teach otherwise, 

and consent not to wholesome words, 

even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, 

and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;

He is proud, knowing nothing, 

but doting about questions and strifes of words, 

whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, 

evil surmisings,  Perverse disputings of men of 

corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, 

supposing that gain is godliness: from such 

withdraw thyself.  But godliness with contentment 

is great gain.   For we brought nothing into this 

world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

And having food and raiment let us be 

herewith content.   But they that will be rich fall 

into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish 

and hurtful lusts, which drown men in 

destruction and perdition. For the love of money 

is the root of all evil: which while some 

coveted after, they have erred from the faith, 

and pierced themselves through with many 

sorrows. But thou, O man of God, 

flee these things; and follow after righteousness, 

godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on 

eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, 

and hast professed a good profession before 

many witnesses.

I TIMOTHY 6:1-12

VIEWING GLORY

This is something that we seen months ago and
I never shared because honestly I was a little
surprised by it and even questioned it at times
as to why we had seen this.

As Steve and I was returning from Tennessee in 

June the weather was so extremely bad the flights 

were canceled on us two times.  Finally getting a 

flight into Dallas from Nashville Tennessee, we 

realized that the bad weather was still causing issues. 

As the pilot announced to us that our landing
would possibly be delayed by an hour or so
he reminded us that they had added extra fuel
to the plane in case we had to stay in the air
for an hour or so before landing.  

As we got closer to the Dallas area I was praying
and watching the clouds intently.  They were
threatening and as I prayed for protection,
watch and care from the Lord, I spotted
something in the distance.  I thought it was 

another air plane but as I watched I realized it was a

shadow of our airplane with a complete rainbow 

surrounding it.  I was so excited, I told Steve 

to look out the window, he did and seen nothing.  

So I said, you gotta see this and he looked
again and saw nothing.  By this time I am 

thinking I might possibly be loosing my mind.  But

I was persistent and told him to put his head exactly 

where mine was.  He did and he was able to also see 

the most phenomenal thing.  We were both in awe.  There

were a hundred of other people on the aircraft that didn't 

see it because one had to be in the exact perfect spot to 

catch a glimpse of this reflection.  

I came home that night and searched the internet 

and found that when you see an airplane with a 

rainbow around the shadow, it is called, GLORY.

As I read what caused this phenomenal event
I realized in my own life that I constantly
need to ask the Lord to keep the storms of
life underneath me instead of letting them
engulf and control me and that the tears
of compassion mixed with those dark
clouds and the light of Jesus Christ
can also cause Glory to be seen in our
own lives

As the months have moved on I didn't post this

because I felt a bit out of place posting such a thing.  

But as God has opened the windows of heaven on

this ministry I feel that I need to share this because

not only did I get to see GLORY from the airplane and 

then turn to Steve and show him.  We have been 

able to see GLORY from the ground also.  

I say this so that you can understand I'm not the
only one seeing GLORY,   There are others
seeing the Glory of God.  We have heard lately
several stories of people finding physical
or emotional healing.  We have heard of
people finding Christ or returning to
the father for a closer walk with him.
We have ministry at our church to
diversified cultures that God is going
to use in a powerful way if we keep
our eyes on him. 

Take the time to look up glory from an aircraft and
see what I was able to see that day but most of
all keep praying that each of us get to
experience the GLORY of GOD from right
here on earth.  Keep your eyes on him and what he
is doing all around you as I have had several share
with me at work and at church lately how the Lord
is doing some glorious things in and through
them and we can all be a part of seeing the Glory
of God shining forth in lives, in families
and in churches.

KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN

and you will get to see glory in a brighter 

more exciting way each day.

Comfort ye, comfort ye my people,
saith your God.  Speak ye comfortably
to Jerusalem, and cry unto her,
that her warfare is accomplished,
that her iniquity is pardoned:
for she hath received of the LORD’S
hand double for all her sins.  The voice
of him that crieth in the wilderness,
Prepare ye the way of the LORD,
make straight in the desert a highway
for our God.  Every valley shall
be exalted, and every mountain and hill
shall be made low: and the crooked shall
be made straight, and the rough places plain:
And the glory of the LORD shall be 
revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: 
for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it

ISAIAH 40:1-5

THE FATHER SENDING A COMFORTER

Provided by Katrina Stevens

Verily, verily, I say unto you,
He that believeth on me,
the works that I do shall he do also;
and greater works than these
shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
And whatsoever ye shall ask
in my name, that will I do,
 that the Father may be glorified
in the Son. If ye shall ask any
thing in my name, I will do it.
If ye love me, keep my
commandments. And I will pray
the Father, and he shall give you
another Comforter, that he may
abide with you for ever;
Even the Spirit of truth; whom the
world cannot receive, because it seeth
him not, neither knoweth him:
but ye know him; for he dwelleth
with you, and shall be in you.
I will not leave you comfortless:
I will come to you.

John 14:12-18

I WILL BE WITH THEE

But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, 

O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, 

Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, 

I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.

When thou passest through the waters, 

I will be with thee; and through the rivers, 

they shall not overflow thee: when thou

 walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be 

burned; neither shall the flame kindle 

upon thee.  For I am the LORD thy God, 

the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: 

Isaiah 43:1-3a

O THE DEPTH OF HIS LOVE

For as ye in times past have not believed God, 

yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:

Even so have these also now not believed, 

that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.

For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, 

that he might have mercy upon all.

O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom 

and knowledge of God! how unsearchable 

are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? 

or who hath been his counsellor?

Or who hath first given to him, 

and it shall be recompensed unto him again?

For of him, and through him, and to him, 

are all things: to whom be glory for ever.

Romans 11: 30 - 36

THERE IS A RIVER

There is a river, the streams whereof shall 

make glad the city of God, the holy place of 

the tabernacles of the most High.  God is in 

the midst of her; she shall not be moved: 

God shall help her, and that right early.  

The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: 

he uttered his voice, the earth melted.  

The LORD of hosts is with us; 

the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. 

Come, behold the works of the LORD, 

what desolations he hath made in 

the earth.He maketh wars to cease unto 

the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, 

and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth 

the chariot in the fire. Be still, and know t

hat I am God:  I will be exalted among the 

heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.  

The LORD of hosts is with us; 

the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

Psalms 46

THE VOICE OF THE LORD

Photo by Kay Rowe

Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, 

give unto the LORD glory and strength.

Give unto the LORD the glory due 

unto his name; worship the LORD 

in the beauty of holiness.

The voice of the LORD is upon 

the waters: the God of glory thundereth: 

the LORD is upon many waters.

The voice of the LORD is powerful; 

the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.

The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; 

yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.

He maketh them also to skip like 

a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a 

young unicorn.  The voice of the 

LORD divideth the flames of fire.

The voice of the LORD shaketh 

the wilderness; the LORD shaketh 

the wilderness of Kadesh.

The voice of the LORD maketh the

hinds to calve, and discovereth 

the forests: and in his temple doth 

every one speak of his glory.  

The LORD sitteth upon the flood; 

yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever.

The LORD will give strength unto his people; 

the LORD will bless his people with peace.
