Sesson 9 - Email

Happy 4th of July weekend everyone! I'm enjoying lovely and beautiful New Jersey/New York with my honey! I hope you all have a wonderful one with family and friends as well.

Well, we have two more sessions left in this study and I'm so very proud of all of you for going through this journey. Through the ups, downs and different scenery of life as we know it.

We finished Revelation 12 and worked our way into chapter 13 this past session. Focusing on the first and second beasts and looking at the anti christ. One of the things that struck me is that Satan is such a copier. Deceitful copier that is! Mimicking what God has done and is doing to deceive as many as possible. It reminds me of Timothy challenging us to study the word of God so that we can rightly divide it. Rightly dividing which a reference to exactness demanded by trades like carpentry, masonry, meaning cutting it straight. So, that we understand the exactness of what God's word teaches.

Studying Matthew 24:3-31 this week has also challanged me to know God's word as it states in Matthew 1 - Take heed that no one deceives you. It will sound good, almost close, however there's a HUGE difference in sounding good and almost being close to what the "exactness" of truth requires.

Some other scriptures you might want to take a peek at this week reflecting the end of days/times are 2 Tim 3:1 - 4:8, 1 Thess 4:13 - 5:11, 2 Pet 2:1-22, 2 Thess. 2:1-16.
Awesome scriptures to look and evaluate how to implement them into your life getting ready for the glorious appearing of our Lord! A great way to look these up is www.blueletterbible.org

Session 8 - Email

This session we traveled back in history and then we looked at the future and what it will look. Our flash backs and flash forwards if you will . As you might recall, we looked at the identification of the woman, the child and the red dragon. In addition, we looked at the possibilities of what the one-third of the stars could possibly represent as well. One of my favorites, was looking at the garland of twelve stars in Rev. 12:1 being a wreath representing a victory wreath and not just a crown that the counterfeit authority will wear. Praise the Lord we will be on the "victorious" side!

The 3 key points to remember from this lesson are as follows:
1. Everything about Revelation is the consummation of what began in Genesis
2. With every single alpha there is an omega
3. What He begins He also wraps up

It's amazing when we look at the current news to see how "Satan" is still busy in the middle East with all the unrest especially against the nation of Israel. Woe to the nations that do not support His nation!

Please see updates at the class blog at www.hereandnowpalmvalley.blogspot.com for the praises and prayer requests!

I look forward to seeing all of you Monday night for Session 9!

Session 7 - Email

I trust this has been a wonderful week for you in the Word! Challenging at times to find the time but NECESSARY! I prayer is that it doesn't become a "chore" or "mundane" but that each time it is new and fresh with amazing truths and revelations that God wants you/me to "get" and be able to implement into your/my life to bring Him glory.

I thank each of you for the encouragement you are to me in watching you in your faith walk growing closer to Him and wanting to study His word! I LOVE it! You truly are a blessing!

Please pray for our sisters in Christ - so many are in deep need, hurtful situations, relational issues, health conditions, etc. that need to be held up in prayer! Intercession for each of us is mighty IMPORTANT and what a privilege it is to come into the throne room and talk to God on another's behalf.

God bless you with His amazing knowledge, grace, peace and strength! I look forward to seeing you for Session 8 on Monday night at the church office.

Session 7 - Praise/Prayer Requests

Praise:
Kim - God is patient and answer's prayers. Not how we expect them to always but he always answers them.

Prayer:
Cynthia N. - Please pray for work for her husband, Meryl as funds are depleted and pray for mental health and healing during this stressful time.

Christy C. - My mother was severely traumatized by her eldest brother in South Korea when she grew up. My mom mentioned that she has been praying that God would keep her brother alive until she was able to talk with him one last time (he is in his 80s or 90s). It seems from what I can tell that she wants to let him know she has forgiven him although she didn't mention that specifically when I last spoke with her. I've never met him but from what i heard he lives a lone in the mountains (everyone abandoned him because of what kind of person he is/or was. I don't think he knows about God (my mom's family was Confucian I think although majority are Christians now). I would like to go to Korea with my parents to see my relatives whom I've never met, however my dad's health is in poor condition and my parents need to save some money for the trip. If we could pray together that God gives my dad the strength for travel, heals him from his pain, that my mom and uncle will find healing from God and that my parents will set a plan for saving money aside for this trip, that would be awesome! I know God can do anything and I really feel that my mom and uncle would have an opportunity for some healing in their life which is desperately needed if they were able to go on this trip. I've asked my mom about going without my dad, but she said she doesn't want to leave him alone because she has found him on the floor in convulsions and a couple of times if she wasn't there to take him to the hospital who knows what might have happened to him.
