From the Pastor – April 2013

The word of God is clear, God has His seasons. This is true of our lives as
well as in His glorious creation.

Most people love springtime; allergies notwithstanding. The whole
process of new life in the flowers, grass and leaves of the trees. The new
warmth of the sun, the anticipation of the joys of summer, are tokens of
hope for pleasant times.

Of course for us, who know the year-round warmth of God’s love in
our hearts, springtime reminds us of the new life God offers those around us
whose lives are lived in a perpetual spiritual winter having yet to know the
light of God’s love.

This is a time when the Lord of the harvest is calling for us to be
mighty in prayer for a fresh new life-giving visitation of His Spirit as He
has moved miraculously in years past. God works through the prayers of His
people. This is the true meaning of His giving us dominion over His
creation. The Bible is a history of God working through the intercession of
His faithful and obedient ones to bring salvation and deliverance.

O Father, give us a burst of new life, a spiritual
springtime in our lost loved ones and friends, for Your glory and Jesus’
sake.
