Power of Twelve - 2 Years Later (written on July 12, 2020)

In 17 days it will be two years since the Lord decided to start the Power of Twelve group.  It all began with a brain tumor in my head and then a move by the Holy Spirit.  From the beginning each of us that responded to the call knew that the Lord has called us to meet and hear from Him.  Some of us have been here from the beginning and some have been called to join us as we moved ahead month by month.   Each one are chosen by the Lord and each one has answered his call with a "Yes" and "Amen".

Who would ever have guessed we would be here at this moment in time?  Who would ever have guessed we would need to hear the voice of the Lord at such an imperative time in the creation of the world?  We have talked about the word "coincidence" and all of us agree that God moves and always has a plan.  It's definitely no coincidence we are right here, right now, on this day.

He wants each of us to know His love is more powerful and more "Ever" lasting than anything and everything that happens in a day.  He hears.  He knows.  He sees.  He feels.  He cries.  He continues to call out to the lost ones.  He brings hope.  He brings faith. He brings joy. He brings peace.  He brings love to ALL!

He is asking each of us to dig deep into our hearts and show love and kindness no matter how hard it might be.  We are His light in a world that only continues to become darker.  He wants us to stand firm in our faith, even while thee raging storms are around us.  We will bend but we will not break because He holds us up.

Ephesians 6:10 (NIV)

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.

Ephesians 6:10-12 (MSG)

And that about wraps it up. God is strong, and he wants you strong. So take everything the Master has set out for you, well-made weapons of the best materials. And put them to use so you will be able to stand up to everything the Devil throws your way. This is no afternoon athletic contest that we’ll walk away from and forget about in a couple of hours. This is for keeps, a life-or-death fight to the finish against the Devil and all his angels.
