Dear Friends, The
Lord requested that I write this to you. I was writing something to someone and He directed me to tell all of you this as
well. The Lord has directed some of you who weekly are blessed by this ministry to become partners and you have not done so.
You know who you are! The Lord directed some of you to become partners and you have sent in some but God asked you to monthly
send in support and you have not! God sent you here so that you would learn something that many of you have never heard before.
This concept of grace is new to you and you have not heard it as it has been said through this site and so God lead you here.
We needed the help and you needed the nourishment of spirit so it was a perfect match. As we begin a new year
God wants to do a new thing through all of us. Both those that have responded and sent in money and those that have not! God
desires that you would learn of grace and walk in a new understanding and not that you would go through the same doors that
you have before. Understand that no ministry is existed to exalt a man, but all ministries exist to exalt one person and that
is Jesus Christ for it is Him who we serve! In the past ministries stood alone and they ministered to the people they had
and then for a meeting they would come together to hold a service but there was no unity. Then you had ministries that were
designed specifically to start churches and they had many churches that were under that one ministry. I desire to do something
new and different and would like my people to be a part of it not because of what a man did but because of what I said! You were sent to someone who did not go around speaking in churches or someone who was well known or on satellite
or radio. He has no books but you were brought to this church at this time for a special reason. Some of you knew him but
most did not. I am asking all of you to send in what God has declared to you to do, so that this ministry can go forward and
do the things that I have put in their hearts to do, and I will cause your ministries to go forward so you can do the
things that I have asked you to do. I the Lord desires that you work together in the bonds of unity to produce
perfectness within the saints. I desire that you stop looking at your needs and start seeing the Provider of those needs for
I will supply. Trust Me! Do not trust the voices of those that do not know me but trust me and know that I will cause all
things to come to pass at the right time. I am for you and I will never leave you. I will provide all that you need so trust
in my provision for I the Lord of Hosts has declared it! Do not I have the cattle on a 1,000 hills. Do I own the
earth and everything in it! Did not I make all things and will not I who died on Calvary provide all that you need for I am
not only your Lord but I live within you! I am pleased with those that have accepted my Son so walk in the joy of your salvation
and lean not to your own understanding for I will take care of you and nothing shall overcome you! Greater is He that is in
you for His very kingdom is within you so walk knowing that God, even your God, has spoken to you this day and He will bring
all things to pass. To all that read this message ask Me what you should do for this ministry. Do not just ignore
them or ignore the message that they have spoken to you! They did not send you here I did and I am the one who keeps you so
listen to me and I will not only provide for them but also provide for you for I the Lord have provided all that you need!
I have given them one thing to offer to you at this time: the message of grace given to you with a pureness of heart so that
you can walk in the freedom of grace and learn how to experience liberty in your spirit. My grace is sufficient for you! My
grace is more then enough for I am more then enough! I said that I will and I have so I expect you to listen and I will confirm
this message within your heart and within your mind! HE that hath ears let him hear what the Spirit of God has said today
to this church and to the ones that I sent to support it!

MERRY CHRISTMAS
Merry Christmas! This week is the time that we set aside to celebrate
the Saviour's birth. Originally it was not celebrated by Christians, but began to be celebrated in the 4th century. There
is a pagan history to it but that does not change what happens to people inside at Christmas time. At Christmas there is a
different spirit in the air and people treat each other with more respect and love. They may not treat you as they should
but they treat you better then the rest of the year, both the saved and unsaved. Why is that? God's love is being spread abroad in our hearts and
it is not spread because of Santa Claus. Santa is not an agent of God. We give sometimes because someone gave to us but we
give. We focus on giving during this season instead of focusing on getting. The truth of Christmas is that God gave to us
and because He did then we can give to others. We do not give because we have to but when someone gives to you it makes you
want to give to someone else. Giving is contagious. There are some things that are contagious that you may not want to spread like a cold or
flu. But, the things of God that are within you are contagious as well and those things you should want to share. God's
love is not able to be contained and the gifts of God are given to us so that we can share them with others. I want to encourage you that this is Christmas
and to wish people a Merry Christmas and not just Happy Holidays. We are celebrating that Jesus is the reason for the
season. Jesus is the reason we do many things and have many things. Jesus is the reason for our life. The world promotes Santa
at this time and not Jesus. I have a Santa collection that details how he looks in different nations and at different times,
but the most special Santa I have is one that is bowing and worshipping the Baby Jesus. It reminds me that one day all
will bow down to Jesus to the glory of God and that even though we give to others that does not compare with the gifts that
God has given to us in Jesus Christ. So celebrate Christmas and share the love that God placed in your heart with those that he placed in your
life. Tell people that you love them and do not be afraid to open up your heart and share that love that God put in you.
Jesus is the reason for the Season but love is the reason for the gifts we share. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Blessings to all,
I was looking at the 60+ ministers in 17 different countries that have heard of Word of Grace since May of 2007. I am amazed
that it is so many. I have made connection with people in over 30 countries and that is through a small church without a big
budget. God opens doors to the willing. So often we think that you need a big budget to have a great effect in the world but
you do not. The known world of Jesus day was evangelized with 12 disciples who did not have much education but were willing.
The most important thing that God looks at is your heart. Your heart is what qualifies you for ministry. Do you believe what
you are teaching? Do you desire to reach others with the Gospel of Grace? Do you want to go and tell? Are you willing to love
those who hurt you and despise you? Are you willing to go where God sends you and to support those that He asks you to support? I of the ministers who contacted us has 6 members in his church. God said that to get the blessing you
not only had to be obedient but also willing. In Deut 28 it tells us to heed to learn how to do all that God commanded. I
did that for I saw that Jesus did my commandment keeping. HE kept it for me! HE is my keeper! He is not just my keeper when
it comes to the sin issue but He is my keeper when it comes to my health and finances and no matter what I will be taken care
of, for God will keep me. God does not only keep the big ministries doing much but He keeps the small ones for He keeps those
in Him. The blessing comes to those that are willing. Look for the silver lining. God will provide but to see
the provision many times you have to first come to the end of yourself. You have to strop thinking that your provision is
based on what you do, and look to him knowing that God has already provided it based on Jesus for you. The answer to you is
yes! So let God do it for you! Too often people do not want to let God be their answer but want to do it themselves. We grow
up being taught that we at this age should be able to do this ourselves. We are taught to learn self independence and then
God comes along and says you are not dependent on you but you are dependent on me and we have to forget all we learned about
self dependence. That is one of the reasons that Jesus said we need to become as little children if we are to enter the Kingdom
of God. We have to be willing to let someone else take the responsibility for our lives, instead of requiring God to just
come along for the ride. I have a suggestion for you- Let God do the driving and let Him decide where you
are going. Do not try to do the driving for God knows it all. HE knows where every pothole is and knows when every other driver
on the road is going to cut you off and God never had an accident and never messed up. Let it be about Him and not about you!
When you look at your life- then be honest how much of what you do for God is about you and how much is about Him. When you
tell the truth you shame the devil - when you let the truth in then you let God in and the devil flees. God is for you so
you be for God!

Dear Friends,
I am glad that we are beginning the joyous season of Christmas and that God is showing his love to others through this ministry.
There is no time in Heaven and in Heaven it is always the season of His love. We think of Christmas as the season of God sending
a love gift but every day is the day of his love. God loves you and as you share that love with others then you will see God
move in your life. Your life is to share the love of God with all that you meet and that does not matter whether you are a
minister or a member; we are all saints of God and we are all called to minister reconciliation with God and to let them know
that God wants you to become a part of His holy family. Too often we think about the Holy Family as Mary, Joseph and Jesus
but the Holy Family is really you and God because Jesus is in your life. Whoever shares Jesus is part of the Holiness of God.
God makes you holy when you receive His Son. God is doing things through us. God is using us to reach nations that are hungry
for the gospel. Are you hungry for God? Do you want to know God so
strongly that every fiber of your being cries out for Him? Do you love God above all else? Will you give up all to follow
Him? God gave up all to secure your birth into the Kingdom and wants to make sure that you can let loose his love on the world.
He wants you to be a love giver and to let loose his love on others. Love those who seem unlovable. Love those who hurt you.
Love when it is not convenient. I need help in this. It is not easy for me to love the unlovable and to love when I am hurt.
Don't we all. It is okay to confess your humanity, for in so doing it does not make you weaker but stronger;
you must confess that you have a need before it can be met. The idea is that we confess what we need
not to say Oh look at what He has or look at what I have but so that as a community we can help one another. There is an African
saying that it takes a village to raise a child. No man is an island. You need one another and we need you and you need us.
If you did not need us then God would not have brought you to us- you are reading this blog because God wants you to partake
of what we have and knows that you also have something that we need from you. We can give to one another and by so doing we
can strengthen each other and gain strength from the sharing. 2 are stronger then one. When I
was a young child we played the game Red Rover. We would make up teams and then each member of the team would call another
person from the opposing team by saying Red Rover, Red Rover we call ( name of person) over. We would hold hands and the person
would run over, if they broke our hold then they could take any person back with them from that team to join their team
but if they did not then they became a member of our team. What I found is that when you called someone who is strong,
they might be stronger then the 2 people they ran between but when he tried to break his hold he could not, if the
2 people he ran between refused to let go no matter what. We have a hold together that
is cemented by our love in Jesus and Jesus holds us together. The devil cannot break that hold and no matter how hard he runs
at us, he cannot win for we are holding on to the Hands of Jesus & Jesus never fails. So join us and help us reach the
world for with you we can for Jesus and you never fail! If this blessed you then feel free to invite others to visit our site
and sign up for the email. Take the time to visit the other pages here and we pray you will be blessed by them. Come and visit
and use this link to bless others- www.wordofgracefellowship.com put it in your browser and visit often. Bless you and let the Grace of God lead you for God's grace will never
take you where the will of God will not provide for you. As our motto says: You do not get what you deserve but you get what
Jesus earned! Go in Grace, Go in God and Go in peace!
