Sept. 5th, 2022 TO THE SERVANTS OF GOD Good morning fellow Servants of God and believer's in Jesus Christ our Lord, I pray that the Lord is giving you, His servants, the strength of mind, body, soul, and spirit that is needed to endure the tasks, trials, tests, and temptations presented before you today. I pray that you continue to seek His face in every move you make. It is His desire to take care of you, nourish you, sustain you and lead and guide you as you continually put Him first in all things, and as you continue to ask, seek and trust in Him and obey. And because of God's UNFAILING FAITHFULNESS towards you, He Will finish the Work that He has started in you AND He Will see you through THIS day, because yesterday is gone and tomorrow is not promised. I have faith to know and believe that these things He will do for you, for He is THE GREAT I AM in whom We SERVE. Who is Deserving of ALL Honor and Glory, and Praise in Jesus' Name, Amen.

We will start at 9 this evening and go until 12. We will have songs, testimonies, share God's word then we will pray in the new year. We will then have fellowship and share black-eyed peas and corn bread and even some desert.

A short testimony just to let you know the power of God at work in my life. I had to go to the hospital ER last night around 1am or so I could not breath, wen I got there they listened to my chest and was very concerned especially knowing I'm pron to pneumonia and did x-ray immediately. IV was started, Covid test taken, and was started on a breathing treatment. My Church family from Gospel Lighthouse Outreach started a Prayer Chain for me and the Dr. Later came in and was surprised to see that the x-rays showed absolutely clear no sign of infection or pneumonia and listens to my chest again and heard just a little bit of wheezing, he said umm it's just chest stuff, as if he couldn't believe all the positive results and I came home breathing better, still difficult, but better and had prescription for steroids. I praise the LORD for answered prayers and for a church family who knows how to get ahold of God, becuz it could have gone really bad really quick, But God... !!!

First I'd like to say I thank God for his love for me, and for whosoever will let Him love them. Without God, we can do nothing but with Him all things are possible. *John 15:5 “I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing." *Matthew 19:26 "But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible." Have you ever been in battles where there are victories left and right?  I've been there too, and it was just recently I got knocked for a loop. Fighting battle after battle for myself but more so for a brother or sister in the Lord or fighting back to back with a brother or sister in the LORD, and victory after victory, then all of a sudden, Wham! How many of you warriors know that it's easier to fight a battle on behalf of someone else than for yourself at times? I certainly do. And that's where my "wham" came in,  I'd started questioning my walk with the Lord because of a mistake that I'd made, then another one followed. Why was I continually making this one particular mistake? What was wrong with me? Why couldn't I beat this thing? God revealed to me the answer to that question later on. Next thing you know I'm in a state of depression for about a week. I didn't eat, barely drank anything, and when I did get up I made it as far as the couch and I stayed there till I made it back to the bed again.  All kinds of things went through my head, but God about three days into this depression showed me the "Foot Prints In The Sand". How He knew of the past battles won, and This Battle, of His wounded warrior. I saw Him carrying me in His arms along the sand, my body almost lifeless, and He's telling me "I've Got You, I'm Carrying You Through This, Don't Give Up I Will See You Through, Just Don't Give Up" This, yes, brought tears to my eyes and some comfort in time of need, but still I struggled. It wasn't till Tuesday that the Lord really started to make a point. The Scripture repeated over and over and over in my head, with Emphasis on this part alone.  "Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit saith the LORD"... The full scripture is found in Zechariah 4:6 “Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.” Louder and louder did that little bit of Scripture get, with God making more and more emphasis on, "Not by might Star, nor by power, but by My Spirit saith the LORD, Not by Your Might Star, nor by Your Power Star, but By MY SPIRIT saith the LORD, do you not think that My Spirit, which lives in you, is Strong Enough, is Capable of Doing the Impossible? Do you not think that My Spirit can Handle This? Get up, Let My Spirit within you get you through this! It's Not by your might, nor by your power, but By My Spirit saith the LORD". It was then that I caught a glimpse just a glimpse of the depth of what that statement of Scripture meant. But it was enough to see me through. I hope this warrior gets the privilege to know an even deeper glimpse of this Scriptures depth, and knowing from this experience what I may have to go through to get it, I'm willing, if it means to be able to stand strong, unmovable, and unshakable in His Words of that bit of Scripture if nothing else. I want that more than anything, to be strong, steadfast, and unmovable in the LORD. Knowing I am nothing without Him and I can do nothing without Him. I thank you LORD for this past battle that left your warrior wounded then healed and I praise you for being God Almighty and loving me the way you do and for your revelations. No matter in what form they sometimes must come in. Thank you my LORD for loving me and I do love you. And I want to thank everyone who helped pray for me and who came by to visit me during this time. We need one another. But more so we need God.

(THE LAW) of The O.T. (Old Covenant): Is it needed for today's times because we now live under grace, the N.T. (New Covenant) or Not? James, chapter 4 is where we will be reading, but let's start in the OT with a few scriptures that will tie in with James, Chapter 4. The CAPITALS that I will be using will represent WORDS or PHRASES of IMPORTANCE to remember. OT- Psalms 66:18- "If I regard INIQUITY IN MY HEART the LORD Will NOT Hear Me:" (WHY?) NT- 2Timothy 4:4- "And they shall TURN AWAY their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables." (Fables- a short story conveying a moral or a parable,a simple story used to illustrate a moral or spiritual lesson), as told by Jesus in the Gospels. If I regard immoral or grossly unfair behavior IN MY HEART, the LORD WILL NOT HEAR ME. In other words: If I know that I'm going to do something immoral against God's Word, and think "all I have to do is to ask FOR FORGIVENESS" think again, God WILL NOT HEAR YOU. NOTE: When one ASKS FOR FORGIVENESS, one Must Be Willing to TURN AWAY from THAT SIN (to do it No More). NT- John 8:11  "She said, no man, Lord. And Jesus said to her, neither do I condemn thee: GO AND SIN NO MORE." N.T. John 5:14  "Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple and said unto him, behold, thou art made whole: SIN NO MORE, lest a worse thing come upon thee." (Be ye separate and set apart from the WORLD. Ye are in the WORLD but not of the WORLD).  N.T. 2 Corinthians 6:17 "Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you," JAMES 4:4  "Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship OF THE WORLD (or with the World) is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore WILL(wants to) be a friend of the WORLD is (makes himself) an enemy of God." O.T. GENESIS.6:5 "And God saw the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the THOUGHTS of his HEART was only evil continually." (Example) THOUGHTS like, "God made me this way and with these feelings, and all I need to do is ASK FOR FORGIVENESS, for the same SIN AGAIN and AGAIN and he will FORGIVE me, KNOWING THAT SIN, in which he is COMMITTING AGAIN and AGAIN is presumptuous (Meditated Sin). James 4:3 " Ye ask, AND RECEIVE NOT, because YE ASK AMISS, that ye may consume it UPON YOUR LUSTS." James 4:5 Do ye think that the Scripture saith in vain, the spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? N.T. Galatians 5:17 "For the FLESH LUSTETH against the Spirit, and the SPIRIT against the Flesh"O.T. Zachariah 1:3 "Therefore say unto them, thus saith the LORD of hosts; TURN YE UNTO ME, saith the LORD of hosts, and I WILL TURN UNTO YOU, saith the LORD of hosts." JAMES 4:6 "But he giveth more grace, wherefore he saith, God RESISTETH the proud, but giveth grace unto the HUMBLE." O.T. 2 Chronicles "IF my people which are called by my name, shall HUMBLE themselves, AND pray, AND seek my face, AND TURN FROM their wicked ways; THEN WILL I HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their SIN, AND will heal their land." *NOTE: TO TURN AWAY FROM SIN, is to DRAW NIGH to God. JAMES 4:8 "DRAW NIGH to God, AND he WILL DRAW NIGH to you. Cleanse your hands ye sinners; and purify (make perfect) your HEARTS, ye double minded." N.T.- Hebrews 7:19" For THE LAW made no man PERFECT, but the bringing in of a BETTER HOPE DID; by which we DRAW NIGH UNTO GOD." JAMES 4:11 "Speak no evil of one another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judges his brother, speaketh evil of THE LAW, and judgeth THE LAW: but if thou JUDGETH THE LAW, thou ARE NOT A DOER OF THE LAW, but a JUDGE." JAMES 4:16 "Now ye rejoice (boast) in your boastings (arrogance) ALL such rejoicing is EVIL." JAMES 4:17 "Therefore to him that KNOWETH TO DO GOOD, and DOETH IT NOT, To him IT is SIN."  NOTE: we must obey THE LAW of Christ Jesus FULFILLED. N.T. Luke 12:47 "And that servant, which knew not his lord's will, and PREPARED NOT himself, neither DID according TO HIS WILL, shall be beaten with many stripes." N.T. 2 Peter 2:21 "For it had been better for them NOT to have KNOWN the WAY OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, than, they, HAVING KNOWN it, To TURN AWAY FROM the HOLY COMMANDMENT DELIVERED unto them." O.T. Hosea 4:6- "My people ARE DESTROYED for LACK OF KNOWLEDGE: because thou hast REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I WILL ALSO REJECT THEE, that thou shalt be NO PRIEST TO ME: seeing thou HAST FORGOTTEN THE LAW OF THY GOD, I WILL ALSO FORGET thy children. "NOTE: We not only take the chance of separating OURSELVES FROM GOD, but OUR CHILDREN as well. (EXAMPLE) From the age of 20 years and up, the Generations of Israel WERE DESTROYED because of DISOBEDIENCE AND SIN, after being DELIVERED FROM the Enemy, that held them in BONDAGE, and could NOT Enter into the PROMISED LAND, with the exception of Joshua and Caleb. NOTE: If we say that THE LAW OF THE O.T., which was fulfilled by Jesus' Sacrifice, is of NO USE ANYMORE, then you say Jesus IS OF no use. You judge THE LAW and DON'T FOLLOW THE LAW in the O.T. (Old Covenat) Which is THE LAW of REDEMPTION of the N.T. (The New Covenant). *THE LAW of SIN in the O.T. was for us to ACKNOWLEDGE that we have SINNED, and THE FULFILLMENT of THE LAW, Jesus, was to RECONCILE us BACK TO GOD. NOT to DISMISS IT. If there was NO LAW of SIN, O.T., then there would be NO NEED for JESUS, N.T.. So if you read JUST the N.T. then you better throw more than half of it away, BECAUSE if you really READ IT the only way you're going to UNDERSTAND IT is to KNOW the O.T.. WHY do you think the N.T. REFERENCES BACK to the O.T. so much? The ANSWER IS......Because you CAN'T HAVE ONE WITHOUT THE OTHER, BOTH APPLY!! Just in JAMES, CHAPTER 4, ALONE, there are 9 OT REFERENCES that I found. JAMES 4:3, Job 27:9, James 4: 5, Genesis 6:5  James 4:8, 2 Choronicles 15:2, Zachariah 1:3, Malachi 3:7, Job 17:9, Isaiah 1:16, Jeremiah 4:14 and, finally, James 4:9, Job 22:29. So you see, you CAN'T have ONE WITHOUT the OTHER. GOD BLESS YOU. And I hope God, through me, has given you some FOOD for THOUGHT, For His Word says: Psalm 34:8  "O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him."

Today was another weather record-breaking snow and wind chill factor up to -25° in some places of Texas. We've had rolling power outages all over the metroplex, BUT GOD has watched over His own who trust and believe in Him. Here's a couple of examples: I myself have frozen up pipes, but have not had my power shut off, whether it be rolling or not, but that's nothing compared to this next testimony of what God had done. Sometime this afternoon around 2:45-3:00pm In a text I got a request to keep Brother and Sister Dendy and family in prayer because, with this unusual and extreme winter weather, power has been a bit of a supply and demand issue, and they have been without power or heat since yesterday, in fact over 2million people in ft worth are without heat and power. So I began a prayer chain for them. As I was sending them out, God stopped me to start interceding and as I was praying in the Spirit, God showed me a Giant Angel in front of their house, that was taller than it and a half a house more so, and he had wings of heat that were fanning their home and God asked me to participate and I did. If anyone would have walked through my door or seen me through my window they would have put me in a straight jacket because I looked like I was slowly trying to fly. The Giant Angels wings were so strong and powerful but made a soft Swooshing sound as the beat slowly toward the house. It was the Most Awesome Experience I'd ever had in the Spirit. I felt honored and privileged that God would ask me to participate. He's been telling us all over and over, at Gospel Lighthouse Outreach, "Draw up Close to me My people, I have much to share with you." He tells us all that He wants to show us things and share with us things beyond what we could think or imagine, and this time He did that for me. And He can for you too. Thank you LORD. HE gets all the glory and honor and I thank Him and love Him so. Then around 7pm this evening I called my Pastor to see how they were doing and he told me that they were now congregating in the living room and they had a steady heat of 55°. We serve a mighty God who cares about His own. God is raising up an army of true believers and worshiper. Both collectively and at Gospel Lighthouse Outreach. All things must be done in Spirit and in Truth. Come on over to God's side of the army, He WILL lead you to VICTORY, but never promised it without a fight, and He WILL NEVER let you down. He loves you more than you know. Get to know Him on a personal level and let Him show you just how much He does love you, you won't be disappointed.. God bless you all.

First I'd like to say God is good! And if you don't have a home church or do but are not getting feed with the Truth of God's Word, come visit us here at Gospel Lighthouse Outreach and see the power of God at work...
On January 25th my dad tells me that my Uncle Fred is not doing well and he'd talk to me later. This of course sent my first thoughts to imediatley send out a prayer chain to the members of Gospel Lighthouse Outreach and to those that I know can touch the Throne Room of God. Remember I have No details on my uncles condition, BUT GOD knew. It wasn't till after the prayer chain went out that hours later my dad tells me of my Uncle's detailed status. No one was able to reach my Uncle for 2 days and a police officer was sent out for a well check call. They found him having trouble breathing and I believe unconscious. To the hospital he went ASAP and after taking a look at him he was dying of emphysema. His daughter was called in from Florida, and by the way both my dad and Uncle Fred live up in the Ozarks of Ar., and his daughter was on the next flight out. They needed permission to ventalate him which she did. After a few days in the hospital on the ventalate he came to and told them to take him off. Now during his time in the hospital up to now he's dying of, as I stated before, emphysema but now has contracted a bad bad case of pneumonia. His doctor tells him bluntly that he needs to be put back on the ventalate and Uncle Fred Refussed and his doctor told him in that case you don't have much hope a few more days maybe...But you see man does NOT have the last say, BUT GOD! Glory Hallaluha! It was on February the 1st that I called my dad for an update and he told me that on January 30th the hospital released my Uncle with nothing but an oxygen tank, on a here on out basis, for his emphysema and on Sunday January the 31st was out running around with his daughter in Branson Missouri....GLLLLORRRY BE TO GOD!!!! Thank you Lord..and I pray still, Uncle Fred, that this miracle from death bed to life has brought you closer to the LORD in such a way that you can't deny His Love for you and that He desires for you to be on a more personal level with Him, As He does with us ALL. AMEN

There will be no church tonight 3/18/2020

This testimony should be made by my sister, Bonnie “Patty” Lundy. But since she is recovering from surgery I will try to bring it up to date for her. The doctors thought because of the sore throat she had for a while that it may be cancer due to a lot of cancer running in our family, I knew Patty was sort of upset but trying not to believe it and trying to hide her feelings from me. Friday she had the throat surgery due to the fact the test the Dr. ran, he said it could be but not sure because the test were not conclusive that it was cancer. When I had to leave the room Patty looked at me with tears in her eyes. She said, “Susie”, I’m going to be okay.” I don’t know if she was trying to convince herself or me of that fact. But when I had to walk out I looked at her and said,” Patty, we know a greater Physician and I pointed towards the ceiling.” She smiled and said, “Yeah, we do!” After the surgery was completed the doctor walked in to talk to me. He sat down, smiled and said, “No cancer could I find!” I smiled back and replied, ”We knew that, and thank you!”  And Dear Heavely Father, ”We thank you most of all”.

A note about Brother Jim Kessler; He was born on Feb 12, 1949. He would have been 69 on Feb. 12, 2018. His address at the time of death was 3636 Oak Tree Circle Apt. #401, Fort Worth, Tx., 76133. He didn’t move, they changed the address to be more efficient with mail delivery. Brother Jim has been a member of Gospel Lighthouse Outreach Church for many years. I’m not for sure how many but I know it has been close to, if not over 20 something years. Even though he had car trouble and could not manage to get to church for years he remained faithful paying his tithes and stayed in contact with Pastor Dendy and Sister Dendy and they kept visiting Jim. He told me just last week when I spoke to him that he wished he could do something to help support the church. He never wanted to give up on things. I asked him, “Jim, I know you don’t like a bunch of junk emails but how would you like to become a church prayer warrior?” He said , ”Bonnie, I would love that. It is something that I could do and would love to do.” I told him that I would email him the prayer requests as we got them. He could pray over them. And not have to email me back about them because I knew he was faithful to his word. Brother Jim had formed a quartet called the Uplifters years back. He was a wonderful singer. My favorite that he sung was, If The Blood Is Still There. Now we know he’ll be singing in God’s Choir!  And at last, he will be completely happy! We’ll miss you Brother Jim.

Praise God!  My husband can now see better, spider webs and blurring is gone and he's back to driving, praise and glory to our Father in heaven. I rebuked the devil out as he was getting more depressed by the day and I started to ask for you, Bonnie, and your church, and Helen for prayer but after I detached each claw of the devil off his eyes and trampled them then pleaded the blood of Jesus over him, he started seeing better and better.  Goes to doc tor on 11/30. Thank you so much for your prayers. Brenda

Note from Bonnie: Brenda is one of the ladies that not only sends us her prayer requests but she also helps us pray for the others who are sick. Praise the Lord for her husband's healing of his eyes but also to her for her love and dedication to a church she never met and is a prayer warrior for others. Thank you Lord and bless her and her family.

Update: Mark had 8 blockages in his heart. He has a genetic condition called FH which causes him to have more cholesterol than most people. He is at home doing well. Praise the Lord! He had to give up his job because it was too strenuous. Please pray for his healing and for the financial issues that he has because he isn't able to work right now. Helen

Update: Jessica had a miscarriage. Please continue to pray for comfort for her and Justin during this time. A few months ago she had the first miscarriage. One day God will bless them. Amen! And than you for praying for them. Helen

I received an update on Mrs. Ledford. She made it through this last surgery. The doctors are bringing her out of her medically induced coma. When well enough they will transport her to a rehab to finish recouping. Her family sends thanks for your prayers. But request for more prayers for her as she recoups. I want to praise God for the healings. God is so good to us.

I just want to thank God for leading me each and every day. I am finding my way in Jesus here. I am meeting new people and getting involved in the church and community. I also want to let everyone know that I love them and miss them and you will always be a part of my family no matter where God takes me. I also have a new phone number. I have updated my information. I will no longer have the 817 number. Love everyone and I am praying for you all.

Last June when my husband of 43 years went home to be with the Lord, my heart was so broken. I felt like I could NOT go on without him. Our most gracious Heavenly Father, has shown me different. His grace has brought me through so far and as I continue to heal God will continue to help me through this period of my life. He has shown me in His Word that He is there and that He cares. I Peter 5:7: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Jesus knows when your hurting, but, we have to ask for His healing of our soul, spirit and body. You have not because you ask not. Take a moment to pray, seek God and He WILL see you through your darkest time.

Testimony of Lewana Owens Hicks: Today something amazing happened. I heard some awesome news from my son. First, God does answer prayers. I always keep my kids in my prayers and one by one God is blessing each one! My youngest son, Jeremy, called me today. My daughter, Jeremy & I talked on a 3 way call. He is getting his life together and he went to church today and before we got off the phone, he asked if we could all pray together. My daughter told him of course we can! This shows me God is keeping his word. He is an amazing God! This is my testimony of how God works in people’s lives. What an amazing moment for me to hear those words out of my son’s mouth. God is an awesome God! I will continue praying for my kids. I will never give up on them. The devil is a liar. He will not get my kids for God is watching over them! Amen!

NOTE ADDED: Lewana isn't a member of our church but we love to hear what God has done so don't hold back, Let us know about it. God bless, Bonnie
