Philippine Missions for Jesus needs your prayers

GOD BLESS YOUR NEW YEAR OF 2009
“I came that they might have and enjoy life,
and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).” ---Jesus
John 10:10b Amplified



Dear Friends,
Emie and I pray that the Lord bless you and strengthen you this New Year of 2009 in all your service to Him, and that He will be with you in a more special and close way than ever before. Proverbs 18:24b “…but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.”
We can praise God for a New Year which offers new opportunities and new chances to serve Him and do His will. We can also praise God in advance for the new blessings He will pour forth on our lives as we follow Him. In 2009 I believe God intends to do new things as we obey His individual call on each of our lives. In Isaiah 42:9 God says: “Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I declare; before they will spring forth I will tell you.” God intends to do new things in our lives and if we seek Him and listen to Him---He will tell us in advance what He is going to do.
You may not know the way to travel this year in your life, but God does and is willing to help you. In Isaiah 42:16 the Lord states: “I will bring the blind by a way they did not know; I will lead them in paths they have not known. I will make darkness light before them, and the crooked places straight. These things I will do for them, and not forsake them.”
For those who cannot not see the right direction yet---God says He will bring you on a new path that you had not known. Have you ever tried to walk in pure darkness where you cannot even see your hand in front of your face? Well God says when you feel that way about the direction of your life---He will cause a light to shine on the right path for you. Have any of us ever stumbled because of obstacles in our paths or had difficulty because the path seems twisted and crooked and it takes a long time to get anywhere? Well God is going to make the path straight and well lighted and help you to overcome all obstacles.


I believe God desires to help each of us this New Year of 2009 as well as in the years to come. He loves us ---He has a great plan for each of our lives---and and as you & I faithfully seek His will and guidance, and we obey Him---each of us will find this year: new successes and new victories--- via His grace, mercy and power. God bless you always.
Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
In Christ’s love
Gordon & Emie
