One With Christ Ministries Newsletter Dear Family &
Friends, Psalm 63:1-5 1O God, thou art
my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a
dry and thirsty land, where no water is; 2To see thy power and thy glory, so as
I have seen thee in the sanctuary. 3Because thy lovingkindness is better
than life, my lips shall praise thee. 4Thus will I bless thee while I live: I
will lift up my hands in thy name. 5My soul shall be satisfied as with
marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips: All the
Glory, Worship and Praise to you God. We were so
blessed to spend time with our daughter on Thanksgiving Day. We gave our Thanksgiving to God for all that He
has done for the ministry, family and friends and so many other great things that He
blesses us with each day. It was our prayer
that each one of you had a blessed Thanksgiving Day with your loved ones. On November 23,
2002 we attended the wedding of our special friends, from Sylva, NC, who we love very
much. It was a beautiful wedding with the
love of Jesus. Congratulations and God’s
blessings upon this beautiful couple. The Bible School of Elijah will meet on
December 6th and 7th. Pastor
Tootsie has combined November and December classes together due to Thanksgiving holiday. This will complete our one-year Bible School
Training. We thank Pastor Tootsie and her
staff for their obedience to God and coming each month to teach the Bible School. The Bible School has been a blessing to Sue and I,
as well as the teaching and training. We give
God all the glory for the Bible School. We want to thank each of you for your
help and support. We thank you for your love,
prayers, and encouragement. Also, thank you
in advance for your loyalty in whatever tax-deductible year-end gift that you make to One
With Christ Ministries, Inc. WE THANK
YOU AND THANK GOD FOR YOU. MESSAGE THIS MONTH The message this month on FAITH has been so real in our
lives the past few weeks. God has spoken to
both of us and has said; Will You Trust Me and Have Faith In Me and Believe
In Me to meet your every need, and we both said “YES LORD WE WILL”. God also spoke to us about receiving from
Him. God’s Word in Matthew 21:22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer,
believing, ye shall receive. Mark 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye
desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. God’s word in Hebrews 11:6 says: But without faith it
is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he
is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Sue and I have
found that the more time we spend in God’s Word and prayer, the more our Faith,
Trust, and Believing in God and Receiving from God increases each day. Pray and spend more time in God’s Word
and God will increase in you Faith, Trust, Believing and Receiving in Him. Take the time to read the
following verses and Hebrews Chapter 11 on “FAITH”. Mark 11:22-24 22And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 23For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. Romans 4:13 13For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. 14For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect: 15Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression. 16Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, 17(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. 18Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. 19And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb: 20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; 21And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. Romans 5:1-2 1Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 2:5 5That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Ephesians
2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it
is the gift of God: Hebrews Chapter 11 1Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. 4By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. 5By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 6But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. 7By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. 8By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. 9By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: 10For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. 11Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised. 12Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable. 13These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 14For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. 15And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. 16But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city. 17By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, 18Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called: 19Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure. 20By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. 21By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff. 22By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones. 23By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment. 24By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter; 25Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; 26Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward. 27By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. 28Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them. 29By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned. 30By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days. 31By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace. 32And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets: 33Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, 34Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. 35Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection: 36And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: 37They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; 38(Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. 39And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: 40God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect. We need your
daily prayers as we have
some important decisions to be made in December 2002 concerning the ministry and us. Please pray that we will hear clearly from God
about these decisions and that it is God’s perfect will. We know God answers prayers. Our love and
prayers to all of you, may the peace, love and joy of our Lord Jesus Christ fill your
lives each day. In Our
Heavenly Father’s Love, Bill & Sue Contact us by mail and/or email: One With Christ Ministries |
