Dear Friends,
We all want to have riches in this life and we realize tha the riches we need are not found in just money after a while.
We seek riches when are young by playing a lottery. We go to a job and try to earn a living to support others. We want to
have lots of money so that we can say we are rich. We want money and try to feel self- sufficient but we are not, for there
are none of us that can say we do not need anyone else. No man is an island. We all need other people and we all need God.
God put a desire in us fo know him and desire him. There is none of us that can exist with him and be happy.
Riches then are not just about the money we have. So is it about power? People who
have power are not happy either, and if life is about being happy why do people with millions seem so unhappy?
happiness is not about money or wealth. Wealth is about the ability to meet the need of others. You will lend to others and
not borrow is a blessing. I am glad i have recently done that. I did lend to others so that was something
to me to be able to do. We are people that God wants to bless. God wants to give to us from his great storehouse and
bless yuo. He wants to, so we need to realize that before we ask for things. We have to be free from the mind that tells
us God does not want to bless me because of__________________. We convince ourselves that God soes not want to bless us
because of tradition. God is a good God and wants to give to us from his riches in Heaven. HE can afford it he paves
Heaven with golden streets., gates of pearls and uses precious stones for the foundation. God has no lack, even though he
has no money. God has a lot and is wiling to share. SO riiches is a mindset that we need to change and when we do change
that mindset, then we will see the blessing. Abraham did and we can too~ Pastor Don Carson Word of Grace Fellowship

Dear Friends,
Do you realize that you are with the Lord and that He is with you. Do you walk with assurance and joy in your step or do
ou walk with fear and trembking? See most Christians focus on the law and see themselves according to the deeds they
do or the deeds that othes do to them. They do not see themselves as God does for they see Jesus as their example and not
as their substitute. IF Jesus came to show them the way then they as Christians should follow his example; but if He came
to BE the way then the price has been paid and our doings are not the issue, so we can learn how to BE simply in Him.
Now when Abraham lived Jesus did not yet come but He knew that He had a covenant with God
and Abraham walked with assurance because of the covenant that He had. You too can walk in assurance for God is with you
and even in you. God did not live in Abraham so you have a stronger covenant then He had and yet He walked in more blessings
with fewer issues then we have today. His life was hid with the covenant He had in God and yet we are to be hid with Christ
in God. We too have a covenant so there is much we should learn from the life of Abraham. The Bible is filled with examples
but there is only One who is the substitute for our sin and that man is Jesus Christ. So let us walk in the newness of life
that He brings each and every day to our life. Walk in grace today!

Readers -
January 8 2012
the new year has come and it is here- the year we have heard so much about - 2012
It is a year that
we thought might never come but it has and now we are constantly going into a time we thought wouold not come. God will keep
us and do more for us then we ask or think. God is for us and we are so sure of who we are but we lose sight because things
tend to make our life more complicated from time to time. What do you want from life. We have been looking at Abraham and
have seen so much from his life. God is for us and do we believe that or do we focus on what is wrong in our life and get
sidetracked with the stress of life. Life is very stressful and has killed many who did not know how to hold on to the life
of Jesus in them.
The war is over and life has no meaning outside of Jesus. The life we have in Jesus is the answer
to our problems. Jesus is the reason for our season of joy and he is all we need to be delivered so we must focus on who he
is and what he has done for us. Let us focus on our joy and be glad in Him. Let us be strong in our relationship with the
Lord for without Him there is no solution to the problems we have in this life. God is for you and will keep you if you will
let him be your solution. God is not mad at you but loves you and wants to be a part of your life. Will you let the teachings
you receive here become the basis for your life in 2012 or will they just be something to read and ponder. I want to
help you but I can only help to the level you will receive them.
Tell others the truth of Jesus and
walk in it by sharing what you know so that you can walk in His goodness. When you share in the goodness of God then you will
see it come back to you and radiate the love and grace of God back to you. Be strong in the Lord and let God show his
power to you today. WHen you tell others ab- out us then God will bless you for doing so for it will enable them to be blessed
as well. Tell them about our service so that they can be blessed by coming as well.

Dear Friend,
Welcome to 2012, the year that many thought would be the last year on Earth. This is what teh Mayans thought would be the
final year of history! So many did not think that we would make it to this year. There is a movie entitled 2012. We have
so many who thought that Jesus would be back by now but we are still here and so many people we know are not and we wonder
where they are. We are here and are waiting to see them. It is hard to start a new year for we know that there are some
things that we must leave behind and those things or people we do not want to leave behind, and in some ways we will never
leave them behind in our thoughts or our memory. The Lord has so much for us in the future and we do not know what it is,
but it is better then we have gone through. The future is always greener to us for we want what we do not have, we cannot
have some things but we still want it. Let the past be past and
let what is behind stay in the past. God has so much more for us, then we can see for God is a good God and will always
give more to us then we can ask and constantly is showing us His grace and love. God is for you and will show you his amazing
grace and love. So do not go into 2012 worrying about what you left behind or who but go into 2012 and let the love of God
keep you. Only by love can you be kept and feel the love of God to strengthen you and keep you, for you can only get that
through Jesus Christ and his sacrifice for you!
