uRGENT pRAYER REQUEST: We have very limited bread and may need to close the bread ministry doors early. The crazy snow storm rush cleared shelves of products we would normally receive. Please pray for God's provision to stretch to thse with need . Ask Him to multiply the bread like with the feeding of the 5000. And thank Him for His provision, answered prayers and for using us. Thanks!

Thank You for you many blessings, provisions and answered prayers. Thank You for what You are about to do as you provide for needs through us. You are enough, Jireh! Thank You for Your many blessings! May we be the best servants and stewards of them. Thank You! Direct our steps Lord! Come! Thanks! Amen!
Pray for me for wisdom and direction--I feel God calling me to get to church early and cook some soup and sandwhiches or breakfast or something for those who may show up and we have no bread available. Ask God to direct my steps and provide for all the needs . Ask Him to use us well and draw many to Him through our love and blessings. Thanks! Ending here with a blog and TWFYT to meditate upon. God loves you and is with you and us and will provide, guide, proetct and glorify His name through us. Rejoice! trust and follow well ! Amen!

- He Is All You Need
The road to true biblical Christianity isn’t easy. Going against the tide is beyond difficult. Persecution can be deadly. Standing firm to the end is what few will do. Life on the rocky Narrow Road is lonely; most take up residence on the sandy Wide Road. No, true biblical Christianity isn’t easy, but is made possible by Jesus’ death, burial, resurrection, and ascension.
It’s important to note that John never left the desert. Even when God launched his prophetic ministry, he remained in the desert. He was fully alive there. He didn’t stay because he was a social outcast, but because the desert gave him an intimacy with God he never wanted to lose. He didn’t leave the desert until he was carried to jail and killed. There’s life in the desert with Jesus. There’s death in the world without Him.
In the desert, all you have is God. He is all you ever need.
So what does a personally revived Christian look like? They’re pure, devoted, and fearless. They’re loyal to God and keep His commands. They cling to the cross and long for the return of Christ. While others let their love for the Lord, their brothers and sisters, and their enemies wax cold, they love with intensity.
They love truth, speak truth, and stand for truth. They stand stalwart against doubt and unbelief. They walk by faith and not by sight. They’re militant against lies and deception. They courageously swim against the tide of the world’s philosophies, movements, and culture.
While others are asleep to prayer, they’re mighty prayer warriors. They’re awake when others are asleep—and hungry for God when others don’t care. They pursue lives of holiness when other believers are steeped in compromise.
Father God, I would rather travel with You through the desert than settle into the comfort of the world. Shape me into a pure, devoted and fearless follower, loyal to all of Your commands. Show me how to continually love, speak and stand for Your truth! Teach me to pray, Lord! I want to be a mighty warrior for Your kingdom’s sake! Create in me a pure heart…to live a life devoted to holiness.
Praise God as the only true God who has revealed himself to you in his Word and through his Son.
Give thanks for the Bible through which God reveals himself and his will for your life.
Confess any failure to use and respond to that revealed Word.
Commit yourself to meditating on the Word and allowing it to dwell richly in your heart (Col. 3:16).
Ask that you may remain in Christ and his words in you, so that you can bear much fruit to the Father’s glory (Jn. 15:7).
Pray by name for unsaved friends and neighbors that they may know the love of God, may believe in his Son Jesus Christ, and will not perish but have everlasting life (Jn. 3:16).
