Perhaps the most powerful reason you CANNOT lose your
salvation
“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but
delivered Him up for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all
things? Who will bring a charge against
God’s elect?
· God
is the one who justifies; who is the one who condemns?
· Christ
Jesus is He who died, yes rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of
God who also intercedes for us.
“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or
persecution, of famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Just as it is written, ‘For Thy sake we are
being put to death all day long; we were considered as sheep to be slaughtered.’
“But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through
Him who loved us. For I am convinced
that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things
present, nor things to come, nor power, nor height, nor depth, nor any other
created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in
Christ Jesus our Lord.’” Romans 8:31-39

time.

Elaine and Jim
Pounder and their Little Church ministry have
had a very difficult 2020. They need
your prayers for healing strength and time with family as their ministry
continues to spread around the world in a model of home churches. They have
begun a YouTube
channel and I urge you to subscribe and watch their sound and warm videos (https://www.youtube.com/user/thelittlechurchworld

Ian S –
had knee replacement surgery this week and is getting stronger. Please pray for his full recovery.

USA – Pray the Lord will demonstrate His power in
unexpected and uniting ways during these times of unrest and confusion. Help hearts settle and rest in Him
alone. Let the truth of God’s Word and
ways, overcome the drive to destroy our founding, Bible-based values. And pray for Christ-centre, Bible-based
revival in the USA and religious freedom for Christians wherever they may be.

pain, patience and God’s mercy. Continue
to pray for his healthcare providers and that he is surrounded by faithful and
compassionate Christian friends who will support him through this journey. Pray for his Mom (age 83) who is unwell
herself, that their time together will be filled with extraordinary good
memories and lots of love.

Isaias and Judith
(Ambassadors for Christ the Philippines) – the Philippines is a
remarkably difficult mission field and Isaias and Judith and their entire
family have maintained a teaching and discipling ministry there for dozens of
years. It is a difficult mission field
for so many reasons. Please take a
moment to visit their new website: https://afcph.org/ to learn more. Pray our Father keep these servants strong,
in good health, safe and supported and that they keep a balance in their
lives. They
need funds badly now. It would only take a moment to send encouragement
to Isaias Catorce, who teaches and leads the groups at icatorce@gmail.com
·
J&R – recently
had the privilege of sharing the Gospel with them and would appreciate prayers
that God uses His words in their hearts to draw them to Him for Eternity!
Pray for those in full-time service
Pray to uphold our Christian leaders – that they never compromise God’s Word, are bold and courageous in the face of evil. Pray for their wisdom, safety, ingenuity, strength and for their families.
Pray for those with ongoing health concerns
Many of us have family, friends and loved ones with fragile health. Pray God takes special care with them and protects them in practical ways and that the Lord will have mercy on them during this challenging time.
