\"fall\"<\/a>Dear PTH Friends,<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It is fall season!\u00a0 As seasons change, we are required to make some adjustments.\u00a0 Most of us would probably agree that \u2018adjustments\u2019 usually require us to deviate from our comfortable routine(s).\u00a0 Nonetheless, if we don\u2019t make adjustments, we might find ourselves very uncomfortable.\u00a0 A simple example is as temperatures drop, we have to put away our summer attire and pull out the sweater or jacket.\u00a0 And depending were you live, more extreme adjustments may be required.\u00a0\u00a0 Adjustments may not be convenient, but they are usually necessary if we are to keep with the season \u2026 His season!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Nancy has been sharing a message regarding \u2018adjustment\u2019.\u00a0 Here is a question she poses:\u00a0 What do the following individuals have in common?:\u00a0 Noah, Moses, Abraham, David, the disciples, (and other individuals of the Bible you could probably think of).\u00a0 Answer:\u00a0 All of them, after hearing God\u2019s voice and gaining revelation, they all had to make an adjustment! \u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

When we ask for the Spirit of the Lord to \u201cFall Upon Us\u201d it most likely will require some sort of adjustment on our part.\u00a0 Although the adjustment might seem uncomfortable initially, the outcome is far better than if we would have stayed in the season we were in.\u00a0 So let us be ready and willing to \u2018adjust\u2019 to whatever HE has in store.\u00a0 After all, we want His Spirit to be free flowing in us, without hindrance\u2026. right? \u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Every few seasons, my husband has to pull out the washing machine, unhook the water hose from the facet and clean out the sediments that collect on the filter and interrupt the flow of the water.\u00a0 Once those deposits are removed, the water gushes into the washing machine.\u00a0 As a result, the whole process of washing clothes is much more productive and efficient; It functions as intended with just a little adjustment!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

It is no different spiritually.\u00a0 God has a design for each one of us to function as He intended!\u00a0 Yet, because we are human, time and circumstances over the course of seasons, has a way of making deposits that are not always welcomed and \/ or that we are aware of; Or deposits that are unseen.\u00a0 However, if we are willing to make adjustments, and have an encounter with the Holy Spirit, He is gentle and willing to help us through our adjustment(s), by the power of the Holy Spirit.\u00a0 Also, sometimes we have good plans but He simply has better plans, if we are willing to adjust.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Speaking of Holy Spirit Encounter, the PTH Conference is upon us!<\/span><\/strong>

\"people\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I want to leave you with the testimony regarding the power of your prayers of intercession for Point To Hope Ministries.\u00a0 The PTH conference in New Zealand (in which 16 PTH leadership went) was amazing and powerful- impacting many lives (last June).\u00a0 Then, Nancy and I went on from NZ to 10 more countries to pray at each nations\u2019 parliament building.\u00a0 It was incredibly smooooooooth and we had much favor in the most unusual ways.\u00a0 <\/span><\/strong>
\nAre you curious to know why we had so much undeniable favor?\u00a0 Nancy was too, and this is what the Lord told her:\u00a0 Your intercessors were praying with PASSION & DESIRE!\u00a0 They have grabbed ahold of MY plans and purposes and are taking part in what I am doing through you; They (intercessors) are every much a part of MY mandate for PTH.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"if-mynancy\"<\/a>So there you have it!\u00a0 Know that your prayers are pouring out His FAVOR and have availed much for His Kingdom purposes.\u00a0 \u201cThe heartfelt and persistent prayer of a righteous man (believer) can accomplish much [when put into action and made effective by God\u2014it is dynamic and can have tremendous power]..\u201d (James 6:16b\/AMP)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Proof is in the prayer:\u00a0 Thank you<\/span><\/strong> for your prays of desire and passion \u2026 He hears and answers!<\/strong> \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

See the website for ministry details in the Ohio \/ West Virginia area www.pointtohope.org\u00a0 After the ministry in this area, Nancy and I will be continuing on to the following capitol cities of these<\/span> countries (11\/9-11\/23): Greenland, Iceland, Canada, as well as the province Nova Scotia. \u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

On behalf of PTH Ministries, thank you for your faithful prayers!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

AND \u2026. We have a voice as Christians, don\u2019t be silent \u2026 !\u00a0 On November 8th, let your voice be heard on paper! \u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
