It’s Thanksgiving Day as I’m sitting here with My heart so full, of gratitude, I am in awe of our beautiful redeemer Jesus and our Father in heaven.
Yesterday evening my son Jacob kept asking me if “I was going to St Francis meeting?” Which I’ve never been, and I asked why? He just kept asking, so I told him I would. As I drove to St Francis I heard on the radio “You’ll never find out how far you came unless you step out in faith”, that reminded me of Hebrews 11
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.” Hebrews 11:2-2
I thought right! Lord! Ok. Oh Jesus I was so thankful I went “My cup runs over” it was the whole new generation as we walked in the speaker (Lisa) was sharing and noticed we came in, she mentioned how she got her first Celebrate Recovery Bible from me in jail over 2 years ago now. Every person shared their story, their struggles but they all had the one thing in common prayer, and keeping their eyes on Jesus.
Their are 2 brothers Joshua and Jeremiah that came to bible study 5 years ago Joshua mentioned how at first he only came for coffee lol, then he started listening, I remembered him, and a couple of other young men back then, that I actually felt the Lords presence upon them back then, it was powerful. They were so thankful for the gospel message, I could hardly talk tears of joy choked me, but I had to thank Jesus for saving all of us. We were all in awe of “US” all making a choice to come and seek the Lord, grateful their is another way. One of them even said “look at us!”
“He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions. Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men!” Psalm 107:20-21
The other thing that stood out to me was how this meeting took place on the very spot where the “St Francis Indian Boarding School” once stood.
I’d like to ask for prayers for these young folks, also prayers for a few marriages

Oh Gods love and mercy is so wonderful, He truly kept His promise.
“For indeed I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you shall be tilled and sown. I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and bear young; I will make you inhabited as in former times, and do better for you than at your beginnings. Then you shall know that I am the Lord. And I will sanctify My great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in their midst; and the nations shall know that I am the Lord,” says the Lord God, “when I am hallowed in you before their eyes. Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them. Then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; you shall be My people, and I will be your God. ‘Thus says the Lord God: “On the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will also enable you to dwell in the cities, and the ruins shall be rebuilt. The desolate land shall be tilled instead of lying desolate in the sight of all who pass by. So they will say, ‘This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden; and the wasted, desolate, and ruined cities are now fortified and inhabited.’ Then the nations which are left all around you shall know that I, the Lord, have rebuilt the ruined places and planted what was desolate. I, the Lord, have spoken it, and I will do it.”” . Ezekiel 36:9, 11, 23, 25-28, 33-36
This is the promise I came on. And I’m watching it coming to life. Thank you so much for praying for us, I love you with all my heart, please pray for the people’s deliverance from Meth. Pray and ask God to heal all these families for the destruction Meth is causing here.
