Thank You

Let me began by saying that I love you very much and thank you for your support of B.T.M.A. With you, B.T.M.A. has and are doing what God has called us to do. Our goals are: 1.Covering the world with His fruits, 2. Restore families to Kingdom principles, 3.Arm, defend and destroy the wiles, attacks and desires of the enemy, and 4.Restore the table of the Lord everywhere we go. Your gifts of love, promotes the ministries to a new level.

In the last few years we have seen great storms in many regions in America. Many cities have been completely destroyed and people have been displaced. God did not cause them to happen! God is a GOOD GOD! We allowed some of the thing to happen by not having proper dominion of the area God has given us. In life storms will come but remember nothing in life just happens. God Word clearly states that He has sat before us Life and good or death and evil (bad). The choice is up to us. To explain there is nothing new under the sun. When we as a group of people do things and have fathers that have done things that are wrong (evil) in the sight of the Lord, things happen. Let’s look at 2 Kings 24:14 “And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes and all the mighty men of valor, even ten thousand (10,000) captives, and all the craftsmen (guardsmen) and the smiths (all the guard): none remained, except the poorest people of the land.”

It is very true that the very poorest of the people were & are always left behind. It has taken a great nation to understand that we must trust in God and pray for our nations leaders to keep a head of the situations and cause us to live a good life. We stand together now more than ever. Every day include your leaders in your prayers. Pray for the peace of mankind. Pray for our nation, its people, our friends and family. Go to the Word; find out what it says you are to do about this in the Word.

Example: Father, in the name of Jesus, I bring before You the nation of the U.S.A. and its leaders. Father, You said in Your Holy Word that You would reprove leaders for our sakes so that we may live a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. I pray that skillful and godly wisdom has entered in into the heart of our nation leaders (the men and women of integrity) and that Godly knowledge is present to them, that discernment watches over them and understanding keeps them and delivers them from the way of evil and from evil men. I confess and believe that the decisions to be made by our leaders will be divinely directed by the Lord. In the name of Jesus, Amen!!!!!!!!

Well bless the Lord all ye His saints! This is only one area that we should be praying about daily. Prayer and reading the Word change are two very important areas in life. First, they change you by renewing your mind and then those who we are praying for. There has never been a failed response to prayer, only an improper prayer prayed. Many people have been and are robbed by the improper prayers prayed, but not you. You were born to win and you shall.

Let us focus on living a long life without fear and worry. God has given us more of His grace than ever before. We are all facing battles in life, but we can overcome them all by staying focus on living a life of love. Love is not allowing people to run you over. Love is not putting up with evil. Love is the action of overcoming with the Word in your mouth. The Word gives you hope with power and dominion. When we speak the Word, it becomes alive and full of power. You see, we walk by faith and every time that we hear the Word of God coming out of our own mouth or preached, faith increases, builds us up and grows. Lets now look to the Word. Romans 10:17 states: "So than faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." When you hear yourself speak the Word of God, you start having faith in your words. This spoken word creates power on the inside of you. This power has creative ability in it. A seed always has the ability to bring itself to pass. To say it another way, the words you speak allows God to step in and bring to pass what you say. Also Acts 20:32 states this; "And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them (believers) that are sanctified."

God is in control of your life if you listen to the instructions that He gives you.

To continue in the overflow for every area of your life, here are a few comments that the Spirit of the Lord has given me.

You can never have what you speak against.

Be convinced that the overflow (the abundant, to the fill, to the overflow) life is for you. This means that you are not a thief, but you are a giver. No one owns you because you owe no man nothing but to LOVE him.

When overflow is seen, people recognize the Lord is with you.

Stay in your calling. That is the assignment that God called, instructed you to do.

Overflow must be shared with others.

As always we at B.T.M. are praying for your success, peace, and good health. We are being called now to pray & do more for our partners and not as much for our friends. Friends are those that we love, but do not have this ministry on their prayer, volunteer or seed planting list. We love them greatly & continue to pray God’s grace upon them. Most of you are partners and realize that God does have a plan. Sow this month where God has told you to sow. Remember. The more you do for God the more comes back to you.

Letting Go of the Past

Father, I realize my helplessness in saving myself, and I glory in what Christ Jesus has done for me. I let go - put aside all past sources of my confidence - counting them worth less than nothing, in order that I may experience Christ and become one with Him.

Lord, I have received Your Son, and He has given me the authority (power, privilege, and right) to become Your child.

I unfold my past and put into proper perspective those things that are behind. I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, Who loved me and gave Himself for me. I trust in You, Lord, with all my heart and lean not on my own understanding. In all my ways I acknowledge You, and You will make my paths straight.

I want to know Christ and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in His sufferings, becoming like Him in His death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead. So, whatever it takes, I will be one who lives in the fresh newness of life of those who are alive from the dead.

I am bringing all my energies to bear on this one thing: regardless of my past I look forward to what lies ahead. I strain to reach the end of the race and receive the prize for which You are calling me up to heaven because of what Christ Jesus did for me.

In His name I pray, amen.
