During the Consecration and Fast this month, let us focus on the following four (4) areas that will allow God's blessings to be upon each of us; "It will be well in 2012, as We Walk into our Destiny!"

1.  DETERMINATION - "The Strength We Need to Stay Focused" (Read Phil. 4:10-20)  I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.  Phil. 4:1 With patience in His Love, I'll rest, and whisper that He knows best.  Then, clinging to that guiding hand, A weakling in His strength, I'll stand.  THE STORMS OF LIFE PROVE THE STRENGTH OF OUR ANCHOR!

2.  DECLUTTER - "Emptied Out and Scrubbed Clean" (Read James 4:1-10) Cleanse your hands you sinners; purify your hearts, you double-minded James 4:8; Search me, O God, and know my heart today.  Try me, O Savior, know my thoughts I pray; See if there be some wicked way in Me; Cleanse me from every sin and set me free.  CONFESSION TO GOD BRINGS CLEANSING FROM GOD.

3. DETOX - "After First Sight - Counteract or Destroy (remove) the Poisons and Residue" (Read Galatians 1:11-18) There fell from his eyes something like scales, and he received his sight at once.  (Acts 9:19) More about Jesus let me learn, More of His Holiness will I discern.  Spirit of God, my teacher be; showing the things of Christ to me! CONVERSION AND RELEASE IS A STEP OF FAITH; MATURITY IS A CONSISTENT JOURNEY OF GROWING IN FAITH!

4. DISCIPLINE - "Touch Love & Stay on Task" (Read Hebrews 12:1-11) "No chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful."Heb. 12:11 Because our Father's heart is grieved, each time we go astray.  He lifts His chastening hand in Love to help us choose His way.  GOD IS NEVER CRUEL IN HIS CORRECTION!

Be Encouraged, Stay Focused and God Bless you all during this Spiritual Journey!  Pastor Bernard S. Kendrick
