Beloved friends,
The past couple of weeks have been fraught with intense violence, upheaval, wars, rumors of wars, explosions, crashes, and killings. It is as if the enemy has his hand on a giant, cosmic dial and he is turning up the "heat" more and more, as he is given more free reign in the earth.
Meanwhile, the earth - and all creation - is "groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved." (Romans 8:22-24).
Despite the violence, the wars, and the financial meltdowns, we must set all our frustrations and fears aside and concentrate on what is happening in GOD'S ECONOMY! "The creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the CREATION ITSELF WILL BE LIBERATED FROM ITS BONDAGE TO DECAY AND BROUGHT INTO THE GLORIOUS FREEDOM OF THE CHILDREN OF GOD!" (Romans 8:19-21).
For all who mourn the passing away of the United States of America, stop mourning and begin rejoicing that you are a child of God, and He is even now birthing His Kingdom upon this earth! You do not serve an earthly ruler, but a heavenly One! For all who mourn over the wars that continue to threaten and terrorize Israel, stop mourning and read what YHVH says about His eternal love for His land and His people. Despite every insidious threat uttered against Israel, our God makes it plain that these threats are useless and powerless against His decrees. This is what the LORD, the Holy One of Israel says:
"He who appoints the sun to shine by day, who decrees the mon and stars to shine by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar - EL SHADDAI is His Name! Only if these decees vanish from My sight, declares YHVH, will the descendants of Israel ever cease to be a nation before Me." (Jeremiah 31:35-36).
Meditate upon these scriptures over the next few weeks, and keep them close to your mind and your heart. There is great anticipation of a soon-coming outpouring of the Spirit, greater than we have ever known, as we are liberated from bondage and brought into glorious freedom!
And please, if you would, keep a prayer covering over the two of us as we travel through Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Florida, Louisiana, Texas, and Colorado during the entire month of December. We are setting out on a mission to look for the lost sheep of Israel - those in despair and hopelessness - those who do not know Messiah. Besides ministering in congregations, we believe we will have opportunities to minister in gas stations and convenience stores, on street corners and in the homes of our own families. We know this will provoke the enemy's wrath, and we sincerely need and request your prayers for safe covering, and for many open doors and open hearts.
As always, if you are led by the Spirit to sow some seeds, no matter how small, to help us in this journey, you can do so online at www.doorkeeperministries.com.
Be blessed in this season of Light and pray for the soon return of the Light of the world!
In His love and ours,
John & Kelly
