Shabbat 5/29/2021
/Shabbat Shalom!
Over the last many months, through the pandemic and economic shutdowns, increased violence and divisiveness and the latest rise of anti-semitism, government transitional chaotic changes, I have been reminded constantly of this fact: DO NOT JUDGE WHAT GOD IS DOING BY WHAT YOU SEE OR DON'T SEE IN THE NATURAL REALM! His Word, His plans and purposes, for you personally and for His Bride (Church) will produce a harvest of righteousness! As we read the Psalms we see how David was honest about his circumstances and feelings, whether he was surrounded by enemies or abandoned by friends or frustrated that his Lord didn’t do something according to his timetable, he always declared his allegiance to, and hope in His God! This is how we are to live in these days where evil seems to be on the advance and enemies of God seem to be having their way. I am encouraged by the words of our Master in His great priestly prayer in John 17: “I AM NOT ASKING THAT YOU TAKE THEM OUT OF THE WORLD, BUT THAT YOU KEEP THEM FROM THE EVIL ONE, THEY ARE NOT OF THE WORLD JUST AS I AM NOT OF THE WORLD.” Be encouraged, as people are being healed miraculously in our midst, the good news of the Kingdom is being boldly proclaimed and we know of folks that are being delivered and set free from bondages!
This weekend we celebrate Memorial Day! It is a day we honor those who died serving this great nation during times of war, so we encourage you over the next days to consider the cost of freedom and pray for those who are serving in our armed forces now! This Shabbat May 29th I will be sharing a message entitled REVIVAL OR REVOLUTION?, where we will explore what it really means when we ask for HIS PRESENCE to come and fill us. Come on up to the Mountain and spend some time with the Mishpacha! It is especially important during times of great trial to fellowship with and encourage one another. Also, feel free to bring a picnic lunch and enjoy the beautiful surroundings of Lookout Mountain as the weather should be nice on Shabbat.
We are excited about what God is up to in these days! Over the next few weeks we will be introducing some special folks to you that will greatly encourage you!
Also, the next Men’s meeting will be on Sunday June 6th, so we want to encourage all of you guys to come out to Kent Brown’s house in Idaho Springs. His address is: 1500 Colorado Blvd. unit A, Idaho Springs 80452. All men are invited to these special times of encouragement and fellowship and it would be a great time to share a ride with someone else.
Ladies don’t forget to register for the women’s retreat! It’s not too late and there is still room!
Blessings and Shabbat Shalom!
