Sunday's Coming

Good morning again from Pharr,Texas.
It is getting back to normal around here. Many are coming back and the hospital visits are stepping up. There is always something to do, that is why God has placed us here and in this ministry.

My sermon last Sunday was on finding the strength to stand against the evil one. We start by appling all of God’s armor, Ephesians 6: 13-17.

I like the story about a teacher who injured his back and had to wear a plaster cast around the upper part of his body. It fit under his shirt and wasn’t noticeable at all. On the first day of the term, still with this cast under his shirt, this teacher was assigned to the toughest students in school. But he walked confidently into that rowdy classroom, opened a window, and then got busy with his work.
Soon a strong breeze made his tie flap. That’s when the teacher picked up the stapler from his desk and stapled his tie to his chest. He had no trouble with discipline that term.


That teacher had invisible armor, but so do we, and our armor is a whole lot stronger! And with these weapons, we can resist the devil, we can win over him, so, James says, “Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” James 4:7
 

May God be blessed in your life today! Start each day by putting on the whole amor of God.

LaVon and I are truly thankful to God for each of you. Thank you for your continual support and interest in our ministry by investing yourself in many ways as partners with us: by prayer, e-mails, phone calls and your financial gifts. Without any of these we could not continue what God has called us to do and that is to share the living water with the world through the RV ministry.

Have a great day, love you, pass it on.
Don
