A message from SEVENTH DAY SLUMBER

There is power and victory in Christ! No matter who you are, what you’ve done, or what you are struggling with…

Christ satisfies our soul, mind, and body

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008
The Bible says that when the enemy comes in like a flood that He will raise up a standard against them. We do not wrestle with flesh & blood but with spirits & principalities of darkness. The best is that the battle is not ours, but the Lords. The Word assures us that when we are submitted to God (properly aligned through the blood of Jesus & actively pursuing holiness through a repentative, broken & contrite heart) that we can resist the devil and he will flee. It also says that all things work together for the good to those who love the Lord & I am a lover of my Lord more so today than ever. The more I receive the revelation of who He is & who I am through Christ, the more I want of Him. There is nothing that compares to the love of God towards His people. God is love. It’s that love that I was looking for in all the wrong places, now I know where to find it. It’s only found through an intimate, personal relationship with Creator of the universe and the lover of our souls. It satisfies my soul, mind & body. It’s my prayer that everyone in my sphere of influence receives the same revelation & see Him through me.

Pink Cross Foundation outreach

Monday, July 28th, 2008

We recently got this update from the Pink Cross Foundation:

This is the YEAR of outreaches for Pink Cross Foundation. We have done 5 outreaches and handed out thousands of beauty supplies, Bibles, truth about porn facts, CDs, hugs and more at porn conventions, a dungeon, sent over 200 care packages to porn stars and adult workers and now we are going to HUNDREDS of sex clubs in Montreal, Canada August 1-3. Less than 1% of people in Montrael, Quebec are evangelical Christians and prostitution is just as widely accepted there as hockey is!

We need your prayers and support to do this next outreach in Canada. We can’t do it alone. A French Canadian news reporter told me what we are doing “has never been attempted in Quebec.”

Picking up our cross and following Jesus

Sunday, July 27th, 2008

Sarah Kelly - from Godstock 2007

“God has called us to trade our life on earth for an eternal reward. We’ve been told to ‘pick up our cross and follow Him daily.’ It’s not supposed to be easy. In our culture, we’ve often been sold a brand of Christianity that doesn’t exist, and I want to rally against that. I think it’s important to emphasize that hard times are OK in Christianity. Your head stays up and still, when you’re trying to focus on God, life is not happy all the time.”

What is the gospel?

Friday, July 25th, 2008

Isn’t it amazing that God who is perfectly holy will save those whose sin is so offensive that we as sinful human beings can’t even get past their sin?

So, our mission is to love others as Christ loves us.
We love the unloveable.
We give grace to those that don’t deserve it.

We need to be careful that we not only speak of grace, but live it out and show it to the world.
