Moving mountains.
The Bible reminds us that if we have faith the size of a mustard seed, mountains will move. Having recently visited the Big Island of Hawaii, I have seen the evidence of a mountain moved.
Our mountains are not as much made of stone as they are monumental obstacles creating difficulties for the mission of God through us. These mountainous concerns will move by the grace of God through faith. I’ve witnessed such miracles.
An addiction is a mountain that God will move. Stealing is another. Depression, physical infirmities, and calamities can all be mountains as well. Know that God will move these mountains as you trust Him. Hallelujah!
1 Corinthians 13:2
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
Smoking is unnecessary.
Please friends, it’s time to quit smoking. Need more evidence? Need more help?
My brother-in-law died from second hand smoke. I believe those who smoked around him would have quit had they known what they were doing.
Let us each look around us and help others drop the tobacco insanity. God is on our side on this. Hallelujah!

Fresh Look
Thanks to a couple of good friends, things around here are looking up. Can’t improve my look, so why not improve the look of the medium.
Still looking to Jesus…

Eight time zones
The USA Western Territory of The Salvation Army covers eight time zones. It creates some complexity in keeping in contact with our people without getting them out of bed early in the morning hours.
A blessing of the reality is the greater propensity to be in ministry around the clock. That includes praying around the clock as well.
God is at work around the clock. Why not The Salvation Army?
“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.” Deuteronomy 6:4-5 NIV
Praying through officer appointments.
With each year comes a time of new appointments for officers. We have a record number of new officer to be commissioned who need appointments. We have a regular flow of officers retiring and a certain number of officers stepping out of the work. It all adds up to changes.
We’ve been in meetings today to consider the possibilities under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Hallelujah!
Please join us in prayer for the right appointments for the right people. There are many factors that come together to make a decision of this sort. Pray we have good and sufficient information. Together we’ll trust God.
“You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you.” Psalm 86:5 NIV
People consecrated.
At capacity, the performing arts center and chapel of The Salvation Army Ray and Joan Kroc Corps Community Center in Hawaii was awash in the Spirit of God today. It seats 500. Then there were 50 or so on stage and many others standing. When the children left the hall for another worship designed for them, their seats were immediately occupied by others in the wings. Hallelujah!
Just give us a reason to have a larger hall.
God beautifully filled our hearts with His joy through music, hula, prayer, and His Word. May Jesus be glorified!
“Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you.” Joshua 3:5
