Dear National and Local Friends,
Our NEW VIDEO “Jesus, Have Your Way!” https://youtu.be/xrpr9AZFafM is meeting with warm reception! Many are already finding this helpful, especially in the wake of mid-term elections. Concerning the current situation, join us in standing before His presence in praise, lament, and confidence in Him. Even though the election results are not presently what I wanted, nevertheless I trust Jesus is having His way. In prayer yesterday, I heard and saw He is moving “high, wide, deep, and hidden.” That’s good enough for me. He’s good enough for me. How about you? Join me in prayer, “Lead on King Jesus, have Your way!”

So, I’m turning 70 during the 20th anniversary year of Come Rest. The Lord really likes and moves through the numbers 70 and 20 in the Bible. I’ve been checking the mentions and significance. Join me. Generally, 70 has to do with abounding fullness and renewal; and 20 has to do with mature preparation and readiness. I’m particularly moved by His merciful 70 years of exile, humility, and renewal for His people in Babylon; and how Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit sending out His seventy to declare His kingdom present and coming. There’s so much more to see and say about this. Suffice it to say, I am deeply grateful for His patient abounding renewal and relentless continuing call. My days behind are full in Him. My days ahead will be richer in Him. So will yours. That’s His way. Believe it. I love and bless you all. Thank You, Jesus!
