THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK MONDAY WITH THE LORD

My life is held before the radiant perfection of God. TUESDAY WITH THE LORD

Personal fears, sickness, and trouble are no longer my concern. I hold my life before Christ and it is filled with His Spirit

WEDNESDAY WITH THE LORD

I abandon my belief in the powers of darkness and think no more of these things THURSDAY WITH THE LORD

Today I see only the reality of God’s power which is perfect everything. FRIDAY WITH THE LORD

I see myself so at ONE with the Father, that I am truly expressing the image and likeness of Christ SATURDAY WITH THE LORD

I am still, Lord, and listen for Your guidance. Send me forth this day to pray for, and to serve and help others. SUNDAY WITH THE LORD

‘IF GOD BE FOR US, WHO CAN BE AGAINST US?’

TESTIMONIES “I just want you all to know the comfort that I have being a part of the Crusade. To have such special people as friends, far distance in one way and yet so close in another.” From Gatha ‘I wrote in June when suffering from tinnitus. I asked for urgent prayers.  You  wrote  a  wonderfully  comforting  letter  and  offered  prayer  help.    I  can’t  tell  you how this has helped and would like to thank you.’    B D from Worcs ‘Thank you for your last letter and I feel your prayers are being answered. One cannot explain, but you just know, the Spirit is with you! I pray for you all at the Sanctuary and for those whose letters rest on your altar. I will always be thankful to you for the work you do, blessings to you all.’ V W from Torquay

THE DIVINE CARPENTER I see You standing in the workshop there The morn sun illumining Your hair Holding the chisel and the sharpened blade The simple tools of Your so lowly trade Your meanest task was to God’s Glory done So oft I mar my work ere scarce begun Heal with Your touch each self-inflicted ill The throbbing, careless wounds that hurt me

still

Accept my vision and my high intent Looking through all I DID to all I MEANT You know the source of every failure, Lord, The weariness behind the hasty word Oh Carpenter Divine! You understand Why the knife twisted in my tired hand Give me Your strength, Your Heav’nly Power to Bless……………….. But most of all I crave Your tenderness. By ‘Mac’

HELPING OTHERS When love comes shining through everyone is Blessed as we pass their way. The magical Christ-Power of Love is that it always seeks to express compassion, fellowship, help, forgiveness and finds a rich fulfilment in walking the extra mile with someone in need. It represents, as Jesus emphasizes, the absolute goal for everyone in relationship with God and people. This is so scientifically true and one can state categorically that the major problems of nations and individuals would be solved if only we could totally believe and concentrate on this high objective. Our only great contribution to the world, as a Crusade, is our total commitment to Love in action, a simple faith and an implicit belief in prayer. That is why we have the honour of helping people world-wide. That is why we cherish your friendship with us in the Lord’s work. We love you.

THEREFORE PLEASE NEVER HESITATE TO WRITE TO US IF WE CAN SHARE YOUR PROBLEMS OR HELP YOU IN ANYWAY.
