God's Care for His World, and You!
In each report to you, I try to cover different aspects of our great God. This letter will touch on God's care for His world, and His care for you.As this is published I am in Spain. For the apostle Paul, it was the end of the world, and he aimed to get there. For me, it is being part of a miracle that began many years ago in Argentina. I challenged thousands of young people to fall in love with Jesus-to "get cleaned up, get filled up, get fired up, and get going!" Many did, including Gustavo and Fabiana who "got going" as Argentine missionaries to Spain. I helped them in the early days of church planting in Spain. God has blessed them with spiritual children, so now here I am again with other young people in Spain. We are believing that many will encounter the living Jesus and be set free to help shake their country, Europe and the world as Spirit filled and led warriors. Fire up a prayer right now for us! Walter and I thank you!Then there is God's concern for you. Many are suffering terribly. It will sometimes seem like you're the devil's favorite target. Like you have failed. Or God has failed you.I have often been there. That's when I recall the story of the apples. Norma and I were hiking the Colorado river many years ago. Packs were heavy. We were hot. "Oh, for a cool, delicious apple", said Norma. What? On a desert? With hardly a soul anywhere around? We plodded on-and then-I had to see it to believe it-our eyes focused on two round shapes on the desert floor. Apples! Two of them! Not hot, but cool!An angel? Christ Himself? Hikers now out of sight? We'll find out in heaven. But know this-God is in your deserts of sufferings, temptations and tests, and He will take care of you. Just stay in His Word and walk on through the storms. You will never walk alone!The team and I send our love and prayers to you. We will appreciate your material help whenever God provides and directs. Your prayers are deeply appreciated always.And don't forget, since God is for you who can be against you?

Jesus said many would come in His name and deceive the hearts of the simple, sinful and proud. Eastern mysticism and meditation is a big thing in the gullible West. And one day a “world leader” will appear on the scene with the persuasion of a god and the heart of a devil. Jesus warns His children to know the Scriptures, live in obedience to the Father’s will, and stay alert to the signs of the times. They laugh no more. Now God’s description of how He will destroy the old earth and create a
new one makes perfect sense. The splitting of the atom turned many skeptics into believers.
After all, look what man himself is capable of doing with the atom and hydrogen bombs. Now
the fear is that nuclear weapons are being placed in the hands of madmen who wish to annihilate
their enemies. God has blessed man with incredible genius. We stand in awe as we watch men and women in a room full of computers and high-tech instruments guiding and landing spacecraft on distant planets. At that moment, we appear invincible. But then a mammoth tornado comes—or a terrifying hurricane—or rains that flood whole regions and never listen to our shouts to “Stop!”—or the shake that removes from under our feet any confidence or pride we carry, and leaves us numb with hardly enough breath to even utter the paralyzing word “EARTHQUAKE!”. And man is helpless in the face of it all! Back To Archives |
