Word for 2012 from the Pastor
STEWARDSHIP LETTER
January 2012
DEAR FATHER’S HOUSE FAMILY,
All the media “experts”, analysts, and most importantly, the prophetic voices of our nation, seem to be saying that 2012 will be a difficult year all over the world. Global stock markets are unstable at best. Swords are rattling as nations gear up for war in the Middle East and alliances are forming in strange places in the world. Financial crisis seems unavoidable. Unemployment numbers keep rising and homes are still going into foreclosure in record numbers. BUT...GOD...
Yet, for the people of GOD, 2012 presents itself as an unparalleled opportunity to display the kingdom of God. The Goshen Principle is still a reality for the people of GOD. (see Exodus 10:23) Even when judgments come upon the earth, the people of GOD have promises that are faithful and true because our GOD is FAITHFUL and TRUE.
I want to encourage you to align yourself with the principles of blessing found in the Word of GOD. You know everyone gets in on the COMMON BLESSINGS of God like rain and sunshine. (see Matthew 5:45) Others get in on the COMMANDED BLESSINGS of GOD through unity and order in the kingdom. (see Psalm 133) Now...for the CAUSED BLESSING related to firstfruits giving. (see Ezekiel 44:30)
I don’t know about you, but I want to live under the COMMANDED BLESSINGS and the CAUSED BLESSINGS of God!!! Both the COMMANDED BLESSING and the CAUSED BLESSING of GOD require something of us. Actions of faith and obedience place demands on the blessings of GOD like no other means known to us in the Word of GOD.
Let me encourage us to seek out and move toward and move into the COMMANDED and the CAUSED blessings of GOD the FATHER in 2012. His supply is LIMITLESS. There is no end to HIS KINGDOM and HIS PEACE. Choose you this day whom you will serve!!!
As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. Amen!!!
PASTOR LARRY
