Up
:: Philemon 1:6-7
    (Message)
Every time your name comes up in my prayers, I say, "Oh, thank you, God!" I keep hearing of the love and faith you have for the Master Jesus, which brims over to other believers. And I keep praying that this faith we hold in common keeps showing up in the good things we do, and that people recognize Christ in all of it. Friend, you have no idea how good your love makes me feel, doubly so when I see your hospitality to fellow believers.

 

TESTIMONIES

About 5 months ago my Pastors informed me that we were having a speaker come in November, they proceeded to share about his ministry, and what they thought of him. Their description of him was, "He is full of love and faith, you'll be blessed. He just loves everyone, he's interested in people". What they shared reminded me of Philemon 1: 4-6. I was so excited, and my heart became instantly expectant.

Two months later I was blessed with a copy of Mark's tape. When I listened to the songs I was blessed to tears, the lyrics ministered multitudes to my heart, and great CHANGE was brought about in my life. It was like God was gently reminding me of who I am in Christ and who He is in me, where he's brought me from to where I am today and so forth.

My favourite tracks are, "Trust in the Lord", "Giving Glory to God" and "Mercy rewrote my life", and my constant confession has been and still is... "I do not waver at the promises of God through unbelief, but I'm strengthened in faith giving glory to God".

The anointing on the songs generates love, faith, energy, and power. About two months ago we were given hundreds of pamphlets to put in letter boxes. I had to do Martinborough, which is about 500 boxes. On the 1st day I put on my walkman on with Mark's tape in it. I must admit I was reluctant to walk the streets at first, but once the first song began to play, I was instantly full of faith confidence and energy, and as God is my witness I powered through those streets. At times I'd stop to worship God, no shame, I just couldn't help it. May God bless the sister that gave me the tape. This is just one testimony, there are still more to come, thank you so much for the opportunity to share, to God be all the glory.

If I ever needed a real touch from God, it was at the Australia PraiseLife Conference, God has asked me to deal with more areas of my life than ever before and I knew that I couldn't change my heart unless God made a way for it to happen.

On Saturday during the conference, God did change my heart. I felt that He had taken all that wasn't of Him out and had given me the heart He wanted me to have for his people. A change of heart if from God, and it is life. And it is life to the people that surround me each day. God has restored to me the health and peace He wanted me to have each day. It is His gift that gives me life, and life more abundantly.

My highlights of the conference were: the tangible presence of God each day; the open love His people gave me; a real life changing encounter with God; God's abundant provision for the conference; Faith triumphs; and much more, I haven't room enough to write it.

As I spoke to you, Sharon and I believe to become partners with your ministry. Its amazing that this is happening, because recently I received a new job through God, and my wage is double my previous job. We were praying and asking God where to double our giving. When you came, and then later gave me a partnership brochure, I knew in my spirit man this was it. I discussed it with Sharon, and she is in agreement.

Well we love you, and appreciate you as a man, and as an anointed Praise and Worship Leader. You are a blessing, and we are so glad you are a part of our lives.

For the past six weeks Ron's been working hard to renovate our shop for our new business (It's a truck wash. He washes, polishes, shampoos, etc.). During this time we've completely relied on God to provide our needs and He's been faithful to do so. Finally, on November 13 we officially opened. Everyday since then, there's been business coming our way. We've been trying to borrow money for some of the startup costs and to help with our wages for the first little while, but that hasn't been successful so we're trusting God to show us if that's the route He wants to take or if He's got another plan. Last Friday we had someone stop by to take a look around and he gave Ron a $1000 check to help us get started! We were so excited! We appreciate you and thank you for all your prayers.

Dear Brother Mark:
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for coming to our church and ministering by the Spirit this weekend. We all were so blessed and I know God imparted many wonderful things into my spirit. It was truly a perfect timing - God thing. He is moving us up to another level - particularly in the area of prayer - from Glory to Glory. Hallelujah!! We love you and will pray for you too!

I just wanted to let you know that God is still moving at People's Christian Fellowship! I am forever changed, never the same. Thank you so much for the place that you took us to in the PraiseLife conference. What a blessing you were to me. I know that you were sent by God. Many people were ministered to, but I have never experienced the love and cleansing from the Lord like I did within those few days. Heaven on earth!
