Powerful and Anointed Worship at National Day of Prayer Events!
When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. Psalm 34:17
We are so thankful for everyone who came to the National Day of Prayer and to God for his faithfulness and showing His sign of two Eagles soaring above us as we worshiped. It was phenomenal because we serve a Great and Mighty God who is worthy of our praise! Thank you also for your prayer covering for those who ministered at the Alleluia Sanctuary Church during that evening. We were told the dance was powerful and anointed. Glory to King Jesus!

THANKS FOR PRAYER COVERING IN WISCONSIN RAPIDS:
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” 2 Corinthians 5:17
Thanks for your prayer covering while Brian and Cheryl ministered with Time To Revive in Wisconsin Rapids, WI this weekend! There 79 teams that went out. 22 people received Jesus and there were 4 baptisms. Glory to God! One story from the teams Cheryl went on was one woman, who although she declined prayer at the time, made a great connection with a local team member. They both have grandchildren in the same grade at the same school, and will be attending the same school event next week. Pray the LORD will connect the two again at Lumberjack Days this Friday! Another God story from Brian’s team is they stopped at a garage sale and the man had prayed that morning asking for someone to talk to him about God that day. God is so good!
Jesus is the Passover Lamb who has saved, healed and delivered us! Anyone who believes the good news that Yeshua came to die in our place for our sins and then rose again to life will Cross Over into Life. Have a blessed day celebrating the Lamb of God’s Resurrection!!
“Very truly I,[Jesus,] tell you, whoever hears my word and believes [Father God] who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.”
John 5:24

And take the mighty razor-sharp Spirit-sword of the spoken word of God. Pray passionately in the Spirit, as you constantly intercede with every form of prayer at all times. Ephesians 6:17b-18
We look forward to gathering together once again to worship the LORD of Life at Lighthouse Christian Church starting at 7pm on Thursday, January 26!
VICTORY & POWER IN JESUS’ NAME!:
Yours,O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all thatis in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are exalted as head above all.1 Chronicles 29:11
Thanks for prayer covering during the Tennessee Revival Trip! On the plane flight there God had me share my testimony with Kayla. She was touched and shared she has been looking for a church home in Minneapolis so I was able to suggest several to try. At the event there were around 50 people that asked Jesus to be their LORD or recommitted their lives to Him. Thank you Jesus!! A number of people got baptized as well. There was limited parking, so we had multiple opportunities to share the gospel and/or encourage Uber drivers. The LORD had me and another friend minister hope to a teen, Faithlyn, whose parents had divorced and has two siblings in the LGBT community. Praise God that she sensed the Father’s love and left with a brighter countenance! The theme of the trip was the number 17, the number that represents victory. Just on the day I left home the time was 10:17, our rental car was in A17, the gas price across the street from the hotel was 3.17, and our room was #217. Praise the LORD Jesus for His victory on the cross, all that He did over the weekend, and that He is still the supreme power and seated on the throne!!
Thanks to everyone and their family members for coming to the rescheduled Christmas Party at Pizza Ranch. It was a wonderful time rejoicing together in the LORD Jesus over for all He has done, plus having fellowship with one another! Please pray for Cheryl as she heads to a revival in Nashville, TN this weekend. It has been decided to not have class this Thursday, January 17th. We will gather together again on Thursday, January 24th.
SWEET PRESENCE OF HOLY SPIRIT AT CEDAR VALLEY CHURCH:
Thank you to everyone who came and ministered through dance at Cedar Valley Kids on January 11th! Thanks also to those who covered us in prayer. A special thank you to Coral for reading the Hebrew lyrics to “Hava Nagila” as well as giving the English translation.
We could sense Holy Spirit’s sweet presence and pleasure as the generations worshipped together at Cedar Valley Kids. What a blessing to see how engaged both the preschoolers and elementary kids were! The leaders of CV Kids expressed their gratitude for our coming to teach “Salvation Poem” and demonstrating to the youth how to worship the LORD through movement. It was powerful as we all joined together lifting up the name of Jesus!
Let [Cedar Valley Church] rejoice in their Maker; Let [their] children rejoice in their King. Let them praise His name with dancing! Psalm 149:2-3a
