Our Dear Pastors, Friends and
Family In Jesus,
Beautiful Christmas blessings
and tidings of great joy and peace on earth to you in Jesus Most Precious
Name. How are you doing today? Are you rejoicing and singing
in your heart? We are and pray you will too. We pray you had
a wonderful Christmas and has discovered precious new treasures in your
walk with Jesus. Hallelujah! Amen.
Both Anna and I had a wonderfully,
very blessed Christmas, filled with much joy, laughter, love and peace,
that only our Lord and Saviour can give. For this, we are truly thankful.
Wow! Thank you Father, thank you Jesus, thank you Holy Spirit.
Amen. Truly, God is good all the time and all the time God is good!
Amen.
Found this powerful article
across my desk this early morning and we want to share it with all our
loved ones - yes, that's you. It is a rich testimony shared by Pastor
Dr Billy Graham called "Reach For His Hand". As you read and meditate
upon it, we pray you will feel afresh the power and preciousness of God's
presence in your life, be spiritually refreshed and renewed in the Spirit
and you will experience once again, a fresh, living and exciting walk with
Jesus. Amen.
May God bless you abundantly
with every good blessing today and always, even as you move ahead in anticipation
of another exciting New Year 2008. Smile, Shine for Jesus wherever
you are! Amen.

Reach For His Hand
Sharing A Personal Testimony
By Pastor Dr Billy Graham
The LORD, He is the One who
goes before you. He will be with you. - Deuteronomy 31:8
Once many years ago when I was
going through a dark period I prayed and prayed, but the heavens seemed
to be brass. I felt as though God had disappeared and that I was
alone with my trial and burden. It was a dark night for my soul.
I wrote my mother about the
experience and will never forget her reply: "Son, there are many
times when God withdraws to test your faith. He wants you to trust
Him in the darkness. Now, Son, reach up by faith in the fog and you
will find that His hand will be there."
In tears, I knelt by my bed and
experienced an overwhelming sense of God's presence.
Beloved friends and family in
Jesus, whether or not we feel God's presence when our way seems dark, by
faith we know He is there. You can stake your life on His promise:
"I will never leave you nor forsake you." - Hebrews 13:5
Yes! REACH FOR HIS HAND
- GOD WILL BE THERE !!!
Thank you for sharing these precious
moments with YIELDED TO CHRIST MISSION MINISTRY. God bless you.
Amen.
. We have received requests from many wanting to know how to stand against
the devil's temptations and attacks in their lives and today we like to
share with you a few thoughts to overcome satan and make him flee, with
the power of Jesus. Yes, we will pray for each one of you that God will
give you wisdom and guidance in your daily walk with Him. Remember, even
though we are now God's redeemed and forgiven children, we are not perfect
yet, because as long as we are on earth, we are still in our human body
and are subject to temptations to sin. Satan will attack us in the flesh
to try to get us to sin and disobey God but Praise God, Jesus has given
us victory over Satan. We need not give in to the devil's temptation, instead
God instructs us to resist the devil and he will flee from us. How can
we do that you may ask? Here are what you can do to resist the devil's
tricks and lies and temptations: (1) Most Important - You must put on the
full armour of God in order to defeat the devil and overcome temptations.
Please read Ephesians 6:10-18. This is your secret that God has shown to
us to overcome satan. In faith, ask the Holy Spirit inside you to help
you and guide you. (2) Know your Bible - God's Word is the Sword of the
Spirit and we are to use it to counter-attack the devil when he attacks
us with his lies, deceits and temptations. Do not give in to him. You need
to set aside specific time each day to read and meditate on God's Word
so that you will know how to walk close to Jesus. Ask the Holy Spirit in
you that God has given to every born-again Christian, to teach you, help
you understand God's Word and guide you into all truth. (3) You need to
Pray earnestly, without ceasing so that you are in tune with God. Prayer
is very, very important, without prayer you will be a weak Christian and
easily swayed and be discouraged by the devil's lies. Prayer keeps you
strong in your faith and will equip you to resist and overcome the devil.
Yes, Hallelujah! Amen. Pray without ceasing is not difficult - it simply
means you talk to God in prayer frequently during the course of the day.
It means being aware and conscious of God's presence in your life and walking
closely to Jesus. (4) Remember, Jesus is here with you always to help you
and give you power and keep you strong. Call upon the Name of Jesus - the
Mighty Name of Jesus has power to break all evil bonds and drive the devil
away! Yes! Hallelujah! Amen. You must abide in Jesus and desire in your
heart to honour God in your life and tell God you want to walk close to
God and to obey Him as He guides you in your ways. Without obedience, you
will not be blessed. (5) Flee temptations, any temptation that comes your
way - do not play with fire! You do not know how strong this weapon of
the devil can be - many Christians have fallen prey to temptations because
they think they are strong enough, little knowing that once you slacken
in your walk with God, you will fall prey to this attack of satan. So,
be wise - get away from temptation as fast as you can, especially the sexual
type! Ask the Holy Spirit to empower you and help you. (6) Finally, whenever
you sin, immediately confess your sins to Jesus in prayer and sincerely
ask Him for forgiveness and repent and turn away from the sin. Jesus knows
our weakness. He will forgive us. We will pray for you that God will help
you grow strong in your faith and help you to put on the full armour of
God everyday, so that you will be able to stand against the devil and resist
him and he will flee from you. We do not fight with our own strength, but
we fight in the mighty victorious power of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ
and in Jesus, we will and have conquered satan already. We are Victorious
in Jesus! Amen. God bless you. Amen.

Our Dear Pastors, Church Leaders, Friends and Family in Christ,
Wonderful Greetings In Jesus Name. It's Autumn now in London and
days are getting shorter with each passing moment. Night comes earlier
and gets dark quickly. Likewise, our opportunities to serve God will
one day end soon and we will not be able to do any more service for Jesus
- therefore, let us redeem our time and do our best to share the Good News
of Salvation to hungry souls everywhere, winning them for God.
How are you doing? Our prayers are that God is leading, guiding
and moving you and your church mightily forward for His Glory and Honor.
Yes, all glory and honor be unto our Almighty God today and forever.
Amen.
We feel burdened to share with you a thought-provoking and challenging
article called "Calling Christians Everywhere To PRAY" and pray that it
will bring you encouragement, help and inspiration in your daily walk with
Jesus. As Pastors and Church Leaders, may you be encouraged and challenged
to faithfully shepherd and lead your flock in the way that God has shown
us in His Word for the Glory of God.
We pray that you be bountifully blessed even as you bless others with
the love of Jesus and point many hungry souls to Salvation in Jesus.
Amen.

ear Pastors, Friends and family In Jesus,
Wonderful Blessings to you in Jesus Mighty Name. How are you doing?

testimony from a faithful Christian who has learnt to claim God's Word
and claim its preciousness in times of deepest need. Oh! What a blissful
joy to know our God is faithful beyond measure and hears every cry of His
children. Yes, you and I can count on Jesus 100 percent! Hallelujah!
Amen.
God can do the same for you too. Just call on Jesus and simply
trust Him fully. Amen.
May God bless you abundantly today and always. Have a wonderful
week.

A Christian's Faith - Claiming God's Word Is Precious Beyond Measure
“Lord, anything can happen here tonight,” Pastor Wally prayed. “But
please, don’t allow them to take my life.”
As the beating continued, Pastor Wally continued to pray for his Saudi
torturers. In the midst of his prayers, he was reminded of verses that
say that our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit“
Thank you for allowing me to be your temple,” Wally prayed. “I believe
that you don’t want a temple that is ruined and abused by the enemy, God.
You want a temple that is glorified and full of your splendor. I am claiming
a complete restoration of my body, Lord.
No matter what these torturers do, I pray that you will be glorified
all the more when I am completely healed. People will not see a trace of
what these torturers did to my body.”Pastor Wally’s back and legs were
beaten with a cane, and his hands and feet were bruised almost beyond use.
Finally, they returned him to his cell when they were too tired to continue
torturing this Christian.Wally prayed for hours and then fell into a fitful
sleep during which he sensed God’s presence and healing touch. When he
awoke, his hands and feet were healed. He felt no pain from the beatings.
Wally was overwhelmed, for God had healed him.
Did Pastor Wally go too far when he prayed in faith for his healing?
Did he take advantage of Scripture in his brazen request? The evidence
would seem to suggest that Wally did none of these things.
In fact, Pastor Wally simply took God at his word. Many Christians would
benefit by doing more of the same. Yet we cannot take God at his word if
we do not know it.
Pastor Wally was able to recall encouraging verses in the time of need
because he had spent time in Scripture. Many faithful Christians who are
beaten are not instantly healed, but God uses our testimonies whether we
are healed or not. Are you able to recall God’s Word when necessary? Do
you know more about Scripture than you know of the actual Scriptures? Tell
God that you are ready to take him at his word.
Thank you for sharing these precious moments with YIELDED TO CHRIST
MISSION MINISTRY. God bless you.

Our Dear Pastors, Friends and Family In Jesus,
How wonderful it is to be living and to wish you God's most precious
blessings be unto you today. How are you doing? Our prayers
are with you that God will continue to be your never-ending river of grace,
mercies and goodness. Wow! Hallelujah! How good it is
to be a redeemed precious child of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords!
Amen.
Today we rejoice to share with you a powerful and timely article written
by our very dear Sister Karen Brooks in America called "Thy Prayer Is Heard".
We are so blessed and feel so inspired and strengthened reading and reflecting
on God's Word and pray you will too.
Have a wonderful week ahead. May God's bountiful blessings be
your portion today and always. Amen.

Thy Prayer Is Heard
Sharing With You God's Word Adapted From An Article By Our Dear Sister
Karen Brooks - USA
And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments
and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
The angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard;
and thy wife Elizabeth
shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. - Luke 1:6,
13
The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much - James
5:16
Today I would like to dwell on the wonderful thought of "Thy
Prayer Is Heard."
It should be the desire of every Christian to bear spiritual fruit.
To see sons and daughters born into the Kingdom of God, just as it was
with Zacharias prayer to have a natural child, despite his old age.
I believe if we want our prayers to be heard, we have to be living the
kind of life Zacharias and Elizabeth were.
A clean and pure heart and mind desiring to do what ever the Lord would
have them to. Serving in obedience and humility. It had been a prayer
of Zacharias and the Angel brought this wonderful message but didn't leave
out the part concerning Zacharias prayer.
Sometimes we pray and it is just a multitude of words. Sometimes because
our heart is not right with God we cannot see our prayers answered.
But this was not the case with Zacharias. God had heard this godly
man's prayer. Zacharias had waited a long time and had probably given
up hope of having a son now that he was old.
But God remembered Zacharias in a great way. Have you ever asked
God to do something and he did that and not only that, but very much more
than you expected him to do? Yes, God has done this for me many,
many times, and I am sure our loving God has done this for you in your
life too. Praise the Lord.
We have shared the Bible's teaching on Fervent Prayer before, but for
those of you who are new or have missed it, let me explain. Effectual
means capable of producing a desired effect or result. Fervent means
to be very passionate about, in other words, a heart felt prayer.
Do you know - when we groan in the Spirit while praying earnestly, our
God always hears us. He has promised in the Bible - always hears
the cries and prayers of those who love and obey Him. That's a Promise
most precious beyond measure - we can count on it 100 percent!
Sometimes our hearts may be so heavy that the Spirit has to intercede
for us in prayer because the words just won't come. God knows the
heart and the desires of them. He knows when we are sincere and we know
when He hears us. I believe you can feel when your prayer has been
heard. The Angel told Zacharias to "Fear Not" Thy Prayer Is
Heard. When our prayer has been heard God always sends our spirit a message
of reassuring peace. We just can feel it. Yes, we can. Amen.
So this is a good Scripture to memorize, remember and to remind us all
- Never To Give Up On Our Prayers! Not to stop praying for what is
so strong upon our heart. We must be patient and wait upon the Lord.
If we wait upon the Lord, He will answer and strengthen our heart.
What a spiritual strength this answered prayer would be to Zacharias and
Elizabeth. Oh! To have been chosen by God, to be used in such a special
way. what a special honor! Amen.
Oh! so many times when others would revile or scorn at them, no doubt
the load sometimes got so heavy to bear, but God's strength always come
to those He love, and we can be renewed and refreshed in the spirit.
When Zacharias prayer was answered in such a miraclulous way, oh! how wonderful
to receive such a message of victory and hope!
God is no respector of persons. He can still send his messengers today
to deliver hope and peace to our hearts as well. He loved Zacharias
and Elizabeth and he loves you too.
Never give up on those desires of your heart. Take this couple as your
example today that God can use you too for his honor and glory.
What God may have in store for you and me today, we cannot even imagine!
Put your trust in Jesus and simply take Him at His Word!
A righteous man and a effectual fervent prayer availeth much.
And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice... Luke 1:14
May God bless you today! Amen.
Thank you for sharing these treasures with YIELDED TO CHRIST MISSION
MINISTRY. Amen.
