Greetings in the Name of Jesus our Savior!

We are already nearing the end of the first quarter of 2009.  Despite the economic challenges and the high unemployment rates, despite escalating home foreclosures and the uncertainty which many have about a regular income, there is one thing of which I am certain.  That God is still in control.  Beloved, we’ve been down this road before.  The road of challenges and trials and twisting turns at every end.  We, our ancestors, throughout history have looked trouble straight in the eye and have declared, “I will live!”  And because of the steadfast faith of our people, you and I are here today, living!     I am convinced that everything will be fine for the rest of 2009.  Continue to focus on the victory, remain fixed on God’s word and promise and be ready to fulfill your purpose and calling. 

Remember, it is in great times of crisis that opportunity will manifest itself.  You must position yourself to imagine, believe and receive what God has for you.  Remember, that you are a unique individual with a unique calling.  Do not falter or become disillusioned by appearance of your environment and situation. Remember, faith is the evidence of things NOT seen and with God all things are possible. 

So, my friends, I pray that you continue to remain strong in the Lord and stand in agreement that everything will be fine in 2009.  I’m excited.  What about you?

Yours in His Power & Purpose,

Rev. Lisa D. Jenkins
