THE GREATER THE STORM - THE GREATER THE GRACE

Greetings Saints,

A SEASON OF STORMS

We are in what some folk are calling a perfect storm. Most of us have never seen the likes of these days in our life-times. Although I believe we have free will to make decisions, I also know that God works His plan in spite of our stupid choices. I believe the storms we are in have been created by the greed and corruption of many of our leaders, but I also believe that God will use the storms we are in to bring about the renewal that America and the world need. Sooner or later, people will begin to cry out to God when they realize our leaders have no real answers, except to dig a deeper pit for future generations.

The corruption exposure in Illinois is just the first domino. Many more will be coming down. Don't expect the crisis to pass quickly. Keep praying that corruption will be exposed and removed from government as God desires. God still has a great purpose for America and will bring wonderful revival and then use America to help bring in the great harvest coming soon.

BLESSINGS ON THE ROAD

I just returned from a one week road trip to Florida. On the way there I ministered in Henderson, Kentucky. I always get blessed there as I'm treated as a Papa to the congregation at The Father's House. It was another very special time of ministry and many were touched by God.

In Orlando, I ministered at the House of Hope to the young people and the parents at the House of Hope. There was a wonderful response as God gave me a great love and a special word for the group.

Next, I attended the ICA convention, led by Dr. C. Peter Wagner. It was a very powerful time of interaction with many wonderful leaders in the Kingdom, such as, Dutch Sheets, Chuck Pierce, Cindy Jacobs, Bill Hamon, Cal Pierce, and so many more. It was a very profitable time for me, challenging me to go to a new level in a number of areas.

Meanwhile, Brenda was serving her parents and other members of the family in Washington State. She returned pretty exhausted and has been getting some rest in the last few days.

COMING UP NEXT

We have a couple of private meetings Monday and Tuesday and then another one on December 30. It's the normal slow schedule for December. Our next scheduled public meetings in Illinois will be our big conference, the last week of February - the 25th to the 28th. Before that we will be two weeks in Korea again for some larger conferences.

WE VALUE YOUR PRAYERS

We believe our nation and our ministry are heading for major transition and change and we need God's help to make the adjustments needed. We need much wisdom and strength in this unusual time in history. Our home fellowship outreach is growing and our vision is still in the baby step stage compared to what we anticipate beginning this year. So please pray for us as much as you can.

Many blessings from Jesus,

Ben, Brenda, family and team
