:: A PRAYER :: Francis of Assisi

May God bless you with a restless discomfort about easy answers, half-truths and superficial relationships, so that you may seek truth boldly and love deep within your heart.

May God bless you with holy anger at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people, so that you may tirelessly work for justice, freedom, and peace among all people.

May God bless you with the gift of tears to shed with those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation, or the loss of all that they cherish, so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and transform their pain into joy.

May God bless you with enough foolishness to believe that you really CAN make a difference in this world, so that you are able, with God’s grace, to do what others claim cannot be done.

And the blessing of God the Supreme Majesty and our Creator, Jesus Christ the Incarnate Word Who is our Brother and Savior, and the Holy Spirit, our Advocate and Guide, be with you and remain with you, this day and forevermore.

– Francis of Assisi

ISRAEL – THE KEY TO WORLD REVIVAL

israel-keySON OF MAN, CAN THESE BONES LIVE?
“Life from the dead could be describing a time nearly upon us, when the body of Messiah will be utterly captivated by the beauty and holiness of Yeshua; when the church will be given a revived spirit to love God with all her heart, soul and strength; when intimacy with God will be the believer’s crown, and purity and power will be the jewels; when compassion and kindness, healing and humility will characterize Messianic believers. Will this end-time revival be catalyzed by a mighty army of on-fire Jewish prophets and evangelists, spiritual shock-troops preaching the holiness and compassion of God to men and women across this planet?”

GOSPEL SINGER TIM DANIEL DECEASED
(update from his friend Tony Petty)
“It is with deep sadness that I should let you know that our brother in Christ, Tim Daniel, is now with the Lord. I’m sure that his heart is rejoicing to be with Jesus while mine presently is breaking with the loss of such a dear friend. In the 35 years that I have known Tim, Jesus has always been the focus of his heart and mind. My only consolation comes from knowing that he is now where he has always wanted to be – In the arms of our loving savior Jesus.”

“As I had mentioned to many of you earlier, Tim was involved in an auto accident Saturday evening in Indianapolis Indiana. His wife Savina and son Jason have traveled to the hospital in Indianapolis and were with him today. Please keep them and the rest of his family in your prayers.”

Sincerely,

Tony Petty
