Bro. Chosenbyone,

It is SO good to hear from you! Consistantly praying for you, dear

brother!

I too was blessed by the "Rough-Side of The Mountain" thought!

Bro. Ron Mullins from California mentioned that at Texas Dist. CM..

Said the thought just came to him while a group was singing, "Climbing

Up The Rough Side of The Mountain" and it came to him, "How would it

be to be climbing up the smooth side of the mountain"!

With no place to get a foothold! That made me think, "Hey, the "rough"

places in life are just places to put our feet in order to go on up the

mountain of life's journey.

Sometimes what we see as failures, may just be "set-back for a set-up

by Him!! God can do anything but lie and fail! He has our best interest at

heart for sure!

Blessings,

Falla39

We have a new family that has been coming faithful for about a month. Moved here with only the clothes on their back.
Both husband and wife got baptized 2 weeks ago.
My pastor was preaching about the "Incrediable Holy Ghost" yesterday morning, the man went to the altar and within a few min. he was speaking in tongues. Like you, I felt that he was surprised that God would give him the Holy Ghost. He didn't know what to do with himself.
God is so good! He is no respector of person, doesn't matter where we have come from.

Amen, Trent4!

You are right! Our great God is no respector of persons. I am so

glad about that!

Blessings,

a couple of months ago. (Her two young adult daughters had come

a few weeks ago and both also received it. The lady had come

and prayed once very intensely and has come several times since.)

In a few moments she was speaking in tongues.

Also a grey haired man, who looks 50ish, also came and in moments

he also had received the Holy Ghost. He was so excited he looked

around and then went back to where his wife was standing and hugged

her and was telling her. My impression was that he could not believe that

God would give him the Holy Ghost. It was truly exciting.

So NEVER under-estimate what God may see fit to do on a Sunday

morning, whether it seems like it or not! He just may see fit to come down

upon us. It's not over till HE says it's over!!!

I reported last week what an awesome service we had at the end

of the service Sunday morning. Two people filled in moments! Suddenly!!!

Well, it continued Wed. evening. From the very first to the last, it

was like....what can I compare it to. The two people that had received

the Holy Ghost were baptized and were vibrant with joy and excitement

over what God had done and was doing in their lives and the lives of their

families. There was a roar of worship throughout the service and the pre-

sence of the Lord was so abundant and refreshing!!!

Last year here in Texas things were so dry and parched. The earth was

so thirsty, the lakes so low. Water was limited so we basically lost our lawn

due to lack of water and it was so restricted. Who knew but that we might

run out of water, even to drink. Our city got desperate and people were

openly calling for prayer for rain!!

What about the thirsty, parched souls of countless millions who have

never known the taste of Living Water! Springs of Living Water. From

the River of Life. The River runs through the Garden, the Tree of Life is

in the midst of the Garden.

This year we have had an abundance of water. Precious water from

heaven. I believe what is and has been happening in the natural is

symbolic of what is beginning and is happening in the Spirit. Can you

almost hear the sound of abundance of rain...Holy Ghost Rain. About

a dozen years ago as I stepped onto the land being dedicated for a

new church, I felt a cool breeze began to blow from the south. As it

gently blew across my face the pastor of that neighboring church,

extended his hand and as he did, I said, Brother, the wind is starting

to blow again. He said, Sister, I believe that!! That church, about ten

miles from our city, have doubled and doubled again since then. I feel

the same thing is happening at the church my late father and mother

founded 49 yrs. ago this Nov. Starting with their own family of them-

selves and their eleven children, this ship has endured many trials, storms

and battles. But the CAPTAIN has kept her steady as she was founded on

the Rock, and that Rock IS CHRIST!!! Could it be said that the deeper the

River gets, the smoother the sailing. The Captain knows as He is the Pilot

of our Boat!

Just feeling inspired this cloudy Friday evening. They are predicting a

lot more rain. Anyone praying for a downpour!!!

I was checking out at the grocery store yesterday and the little

female courtesy clerk who took out the groceries, came back in the

store and started putting my groceries in the buggy. She said, "It had

better not rain anymore. I'm tired of the rain". I said "Last year we were

praying for rain. The governor of Alabama is calling for a week of rain as

they are so dry". I know she was young but she needs to learn to be

thankful. If we do without a few things that are essential to live, we

might be more thankful. Many young people today have never done with-

out much. America's people have become spoiled with too much this and

too much that. God got tired of hearing the Israelites murmuring and com-

plaining. Lord, help us to be thankful and bless Your name. You are good

and Your Mercy endureth forever. Thank You for mercy, grace and truth!!!

Well I will end this here as I may have said too much already!!!! LOL!!

Blessings to one and all, in Jesus Name!!
