Most Perfect Gift

Carol Gonterman

Before Christmas last year while I was taking a walk down Grace Street, I was contemplating:  “What can I give my children and grandchildren this year for Christmas?”  My friend Lynn came up behind me and said, “I am giving a gift this year to my family which is the best and most perfect gift, the Word of God!  I’m giving each one a Bible!”

“That’s perfect,” I said.  Holy Spirit said, “That’s it! Do it!  I will show you which Bible needs to go to each one.  I want you to dedicate them from you and Gary and the date will read ‘Christmas Day December 25, 2015’.  Then I will give you a word from me to write in each Bible — a word of encouragement, restoration, and love.”   And I answered “Okay Lord, I’ll do it.” Continue reading

Encouragement for the Hurting

Hello.  I work in the Prayer Room at Morningside, home of the Jim Bakker TV Show.  We are located near Blue Eye, Missouri.  We handle many prayer requests that come in by phone, email, letters and walk-ins.  There are a lot of hurting people out there!

Also, there are many different types of hurts – more than can be mentioned.  However, the most common needs are for healing, finances, family relationships including salvation for family members, spouse betrayal in various ways including by social media, texting, etc.  We receive many requests for employment needs, issues with co-workers, family members in prison, demonic spirits, etc.  Continue reading

Unity

Carol Gonterman

Recently while preparing for Intercessory Prayer the Lord gave me these thoughts and I felt led to share them with you.

“Unity, for there is where we come together.  I in Him and Him in me.  Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  He is the true Hope.  We need to trust God, and walk by faith coupled with Hope.  Love your neighbors as you love yourself.  Do good to those who despitefully use you.  Forgive your brothers and sisters.  Make things right!   We don’t want to be in unforgiveness when the rewards are on their way, coming to us.

Let’s Talk 2016 (Pt. 2)

Sharon Couchman

In Part 1 of “Let’s Talk” I shared with you two words, “GOD FIRST” and “INCREASE.”  Let’s continue with the understanding of where we are in this new season.  As we discuss these things, always remember that God is greater and “Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world.”

Here are some things to look forward to in 2016: Continue reading
