November is the Season to remember all that we have to be grateful for…
This event is to express gratitude for the blessings in our life, in the spirit of our group leader, Janet Clary, who recently passed way. The more we exercise our power of Gratitude in all Circumstances, the easier it becomes to use. Janet was such a great role model of a Thankful Heart! She tried to reach out to help others even as she was battling for her life. Janet was one of the most positive people I have had the pleasure to call friend and sister in Christ.
In remembrance of our beloved Janet & in the spirit of the Season, I’m asking that we post 2 things each day if we are able…let us share our Gratitude & Grace each other with healing prayers both in the sorrow & the joy this month may bring.

Neither your past failings nor your present circumstances need determine your future. With God all things are possible.

Without the Sabbath, without rest and renewal,
we would never have the inner resources to
embrace a hurting world. In our weariness we
would be tempted to resent the needy with their
ever-present claims on us, but renewed by a Sabbath
of rest we can embrace them with the love of Christ.
Rather than isolating us, the Sabbath empowers us;
it restores our spiritual and emotional vitality so we
can return to our mission with renewed vision.

"Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am
meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto
your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is
light." Matthew 11:29-30 KJV

Hello everyone! I'm sorry it's been so long since I posted; as we all know, life happens and sometimes it's just a flurry of activity, stress, or busy-ness! And here we are - 12 days before Christmas, and I don't even have all the decorations put up. No baking done, and struggling to find a place to make time for it all. Thank you, everyone, for being an active presence, and for all the prayers and love y'all send our way. Much love to you all!

Dear heavenly Father, thank you for Your many blessings. Lord, may all of Your people be mindful of honoring and blessing their parents. Lord, I pray that You will use me to reach out to the poor and needy. Lord, scatter this wicked generation of people who are exploiting the poor and needy. Send your servants out to minister to the poor, the hungry, the needy, the hurting, the sick and the lost. As You use each of us to do our part, we can be the answer to the cries of the needy. Meet all of their needs. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.

I am so grateful to be a part of this Ministry. I want to join the Bible Study, when is it held? I would also add a word in support of Dr. Ben Carson, a candidate for the GOP nomination. He is a God sent Christian for our time of need~~~

Hello,. Loved ..walking on the water video. And getting out the boat knowing people may not want you out of the boat. Never looked at this passage this way. Also remembering to just ssk Jesus directly. Often I have done this of asking Him directly. He is the Commander of the boat. Recently went thru some rough waters. My amazement of all that came through the Spirit in song I never heard before, with scripture & then Praise & Worship followed. All after a very heavy time. I wrote & re-read all I was given & studied on it again & again.

I’d like to take a moment to thank Pastor Dion, Sylvia and the wonderful folks in the prayer ministry. Their beautiful prayers of healing, faith and hope comfort me. When I am overwhelmed with sadness or fear over Andy’s illness, I go to the prayer page and pray each of the prayers, then I feel the comfort of the Lord and the love of the Refreshing Hope family.

Today’s Scripture
"Fear not [there is nothing to fear], for I am with you...I will help you; yes, I will hold you up and retain you with My [victorious] right hand…"
(Isaiah 41:10, AMPC)
He Holds You In His Hand
We all face situations in life that feel out of control. During times like these, it’s easy to get discouraged and allow fear to creep in. Instead, why don’t you focus on the fact that God is holding you in the palms of His hands! There is nothing too difficult for Him; nothing’s impossible; nothing is beyond His ability. When God holds you in His hands, you are safe; you are cared for. In His hands, there is victory. In His hands, there is strength. In His hands, there is provision. In His hands is everything you need.
No matter what you may be going through today, you can trust that God is for you. Instead of getting down and depressed over your circumstances, look up and get a vision of God turning that situation around. Let faith rise in your heart and focus on His favor, promotion and blessing. As you keep your heart and mind focused on Him and choose to obey His Word, you’ll see those supernatural breaks that will launch you further ahead than you ever thought possible because He holds you with His victorious right hand!
A Prayer for Today
"Father, thank You for helping me and holding me in Your victorious right hand. I choose to trust You even when things don’t make sense, even when things seem beyond my control. I release my cares to You knowing that You work all things together for my good in Jesus’ name. Amen."

My GOD has given me CONFIRMATION to SEVERAL Revelations HE had given me. I am so OVERJOYED to hear from GOD, that HE hears my prayers. Pastor DION delivers CONFIRMATION from GOD to MANY MANY of my prayer petitions. Sometimes I am sooooo OVERJOYED THAT after reading Pastor Dion's email...I can;t help from BREAKING INTO TEARS OF JOY. GOD is SO AWESOME; I LOVE HIM.
JESUS CHRIST will ALWAYS BE my LORD and SAVIOR...HALLELUJAH!
