Theme:
"Walking
and Living true to our Faith"
"The Lord
will guide you continually, giving you water when you are
dry and restoring your strength. You will be like a
well-watered garden, like an ever-flowing spring." Isaiah,
58:11
We, as followers of the Lord, need to get established on His WORD
without wavering. 21st century Christians have made GOD'S WORD to their liking/life
styles and left the principles of the Word of God; wondering why
things aren't working out in their walk with the Lord.
Thus you are
nullifying and making void and of no effect [the
authority of] the Word of God through your tradition,
which you [in turn] hand on. And many things of
this kind you are doing.Mk 7:13
We, as
Christians, need to find our way back to the truth of God's
Word instead of listening to what people say. We need to
understand for ourselves what the Word of God is saying.
This can only be done through God's firm foundation which is
His Word. Setting aside time to study the Word of God,
talking to the Lord, and listening to what He says will help
us get back on His WORD; which leads us to see or faith in
action. HIS WORD SAYS, waters will flow and your garden will
be fruitful even in the desert as long as we do it his way.
Praise the Lord!!
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not
on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths. Proverbs, 3:5-6

The Unfinished Task
Before Us:
Less than 5% of Native Americans are born again.
Nearly 4.1 million Native Americans live in North America.
The average age of the Native American is 22.5 years.
Native American population is exploding. The last census (2000)
revealed a 38% growth rate among Native Americans compared to 6% for
African Americans
and 13% for White Americans.
Statistics by the Assemblies of God
Native
Americans have serious social problems:
Suicide is six times the national average.
One in four is an alcoholic by age 17.
Drug abuse is rampant among Native Americans.
Half live below the national poverty level due to high unemployment
rates.
