REJOICE WITH ME!!!!!

10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at last your care for me has flourished again; though you surely did care, but you lacked opportunity.11 Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: 12 I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

14 Nevertheless you have done well that you shared in my distress. 15 Now you Philippians know also that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church shared with me concerning giving and receiving but you only. 16 For even in Thessalonica you sent aid once and again for my necessities. 17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that abounds to your account. 18 Indeed I have all and abound. I am full, having received from Epaphroditus the things sent from you, a sweet-smelling aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God. 19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. 20 Now to our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.(Philippians 4 NKJV)

     This entire passage is packed with glorious truth, but the phrase I want to bring to your mind is "...things sent from you, a sweet-smelling aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God."

     I am so very excited to be writing this post today!! I want you to know that our God and Father hears and answers prayer! Our God reigns!! Forgive me for all the exclamations!! I just want to shout to the high heavens.

     I received a text from Pastor Wade yesterday informing me that we had received $5,000 to purchase the remaining Bibles!!!! Now, maybe you can feel my excitement. I will not go into all the details, but my wife and I have been asking God for exactly that amount for these much needed Bibles.

     I have spoken to the donors to let them know how much we appreciate this wonderful investment they have made in the Kingdom of God and they have asked to remain anonymous. So, per their wishes I will not reveal this information. But, I do ask that you pray for the donors and thank God for them and ask Father to multiply the seed they have sown one-hundred fold!! This is my prayer because I believe that when we give, God gives us more so we can give more. 

     PRAISE THE LORD with me!!! The monies will be wired to Bethel Revival Temple Assembly of God Church of Morogoro, Tanzania next week. Bibles will be purchased and given to the remaining church members who do not own a Bible. What a wonderful Christmas present they will be receiving this Christmas!!!

NOW TO OUR GOD AND FATHER 

BE GLORY FOREVER 

AND EVER.

AMEN!!!
