UP-COMING SPRING CRUSADE

Dear Friends,
I am so excited about our up-coming Experiencing Revival Crusade. Our theme is, "ONLY BELIEVE," March 12-14th. We will be in the beautiful Branson, Missouri at the Branson Settle Inn. You still have time to reserve your room. This is an opportunity for you to take a mini vacation, see the sights in Branson during the day and enjoy being in the presence of the Lord in the evening. The services are going to be held in the conference center of the Branson Settle Inn. I really believe if you will come expecting the Lord will show up for you. I am reminded of the woman with the issue of blood. (Mark 5:25) The Bible says that she had spend all she had, but grew worse. Yet, there was still enough strength found in her to make it to where Jesus was. There was 2 things that was needed for her to receive her miracle. Expectation and faith! With great faith she merely reached out and touched his garment. After reading this story getting healed seems so simple, yet many today are still not healed. It takes a pure faith to truly believe that God can absolutely do the impossible. All God wants is for us to reach out and touch him with our faith. Our missionaries in Haiti, tell a beautiful story of Pastor Joe in Boutin. During a service some years ago, Pastor Joe was faced with a serious problem. The church was filled to capacity and people were standing all around the outside the church when suddenly a woman began screaming, holding her newborn baby up. The baby had died and she was frantic. Pastor Joe quickly makes his way to the back of the church where the woman was, reached out and took the baby in his arms. He then commanded life to return to this baby and immediately the baby took a quick breath. The baby began breathing as though nothing had even happened. Pastor Joe not only preached signs, wonders and miracles, but he believed that God could do what he preached about. So not only is God able to heal all manner of diseases and afflictions but is able to raise the dead. To some this seems far-fetched, BUT GOD! I know in my own life there have been times when I thought God was not going to answer, but He is faithful to do that, that we can truly believe Him for. I encourage you today, hold on to your faith, don't give up. God will come through for you in due season. Though your situation seems impossible, God can do for you what you can believe Him for. I am believing with you! HOPE TO SEE YOU AT THE CRUSADE. Dr. Shelia Isom
