Good morning! As I sit and journal here on-line and listen to some kickin’ worship of our God, I want to update you on what is going on as we progress through this teaching series…crazy stuff! I am not always sure where events come from. Is God testing us, or is Satan attacking? Ever ask that question? It is hard to determine, but one this I know is that we are to press on in our mission for the King! I also know that when we are attacked or tested that God will bring it about for good!

Since beginning this series, Pastor Matt (Wooster Campus Pastor) is back in the hospital, other staff are ill, and I spent a day in the hospital 10 days ago, but am battling through it. Tonight is our Wooster Capital Campaign banquet and I woke up with a throat on fire. (Praise God the Dr. had an opening this AM as I need it, as well as a follow-up from my hospital visit 10 days ago!) I am understanding more and more that there is a battle raging.

But God is at work. The battle and victory is HIS! Claim this today in your life!

Last weekend around 30 people trusted Christ as we opened this series up. We had record attendance for the year, and other blessings have come into my life as well, so we take the blessings with the trials! A big blessing is if you look to the right of the blog and see the China flag as a city that has been online to my blog…it was my Mom who for the FIRST time was not blocked from my blog and spent a huge time reading it yesterday! What a blessed breakthrough that is! Hi Mom! Love you!

We also found a great spot for our Ashland Campus as a possibility. Things are moving forward! Pray that the people and finances will come through as we take our ministry to those around us! We need to as we are maxed again in 3 services at our Loudonville Campus. We serve a great God!

I had my interview with the “psychic” last night. Thanks to all who prayed for us during that time and leading up to it. I felt very impressed to investigate what goes on in the other side so as to not be ignorant. I will be sharing footage and stories about it this week as we unpack what all this stuff means.

Thanks to those of you who also are leaving your supernatural encounters on our main web page. And if you don’t attend New Hope, please listen on-line each week to follow the teachings as they unfold.

Stay in prayer for us!

Meditate on these verses ( I love how the KJV renders it!):

Ephesians 6:11–”Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

13Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”

blessings and peace today.
