(By Debbie Anderes)"},"content":{"rendered":"

Dear PTH Friends,<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve heard it said that one of the quickest ways to spot a man-made religious systems is:\u00a0 They are always active, extremely busy & working hard; making what God has made simple, complicated and complex.<\/strong><\/p>\n

2015\u2019s Word is: Raise the War Cry ! Redemptive Rest! <\/strong><\/p>\n

All the commercial celebration and Christmas fuss sure makes me ready to welcome 2015 and the word the Lord gave Nancy regarding this year.\u00a0 I love how Nancy shares the way God talks to her with numbers so I thought it worthy of taking another look at the number \u201c2015\u201d.\u00a0… <\/strong><\/p>\n

2015:\u00a0\u00a0 The 2 and the 5 are like a hedge:\u00a0 2+5=7.\u00a0 7 represents God\u2019s Rest. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Genesis 2: 2 – On the seventh day God had finished the work He had been doing; so on the seventh day He rested from all His work.\u00a0 And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it He rested from all the work of creating that he had done. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Now what number is left?\u00a0 ONE, as if to say, to find Rest get back to number ONE.\u00a0\u00a0 When you do, you are hemmed in on every side with God\u2019s Redemptive Rest.\u00a0 It\u2019s your protection.\u00a0\u00a0 It\u2019s getting back to the basics!\u00a0 That maintaining simplicity! Yes, there\u2019s a war cry to enter into His rest, being willing to be trained and equipped by His Spirit AND not forsaking our FIRST LOVE … the ONE!\u00a0 It is yielding from our work, taking our focus off our labors that draws us into His presence; a place of freedom.\u00a0 It is a willingness, a choice to engage in His rest.\u00a0 It\u2019s our path to wellness, wholeness, peace and the enjoyment of God, His Spirit and His Son, Jesus Christ. <\/strong><\/p>\n

2014 was all about the Sound of the Lord and it brought a hearing to us that caused us to listen in a new way.\u00a0 2015 is calling the elect, the elite … the SEALs –\u00a0 to hear the War Cry of His heart as if to say:<\/strong>
\n\u201cYou\u2019ve heard but now listen closer.\u00a0 Pay MORE CAREFUL attention to what I\u2019m saying.\u201d<\/strong>
\n1 Cor 2:1-5\u00a0 Paul states he did not attempt to reach the people with human wisdom and eloquent words but rather he chose to present the person and passion of Christ Jesus. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Lift up Christ.\u00a0 That\u2019s what this hurting world will see and desire. For the fruit of right-ness is Peace.\u00a0 The effect is quietness and confidence.\u00a0 In quietness and trust is Strength! <\/strong><\/p>\n

May God be your Strength as you allow Him to hedge you in with His Redemptive Rest in this New Year.\u00a0\u00a0 I pray you find inward strength that outlasts and outwits the enemy, to have a determining factor to know how persecution and tough times are handled;\u00a0 To endure to the end and never give up!\u00a0 And to know you are His elite set apart warrior being called forward!\u00a0\u00a0 Raise the War cry!\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Not by might nor by power but by His Spirit says the Lord Almighty.\u00a0 Zech 4:6b<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are an elite warrior – lead by His Spirit … that is maintaining simplicity in any war! \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank you for your prayer as together we raise the War Cry for His Glory!\u00a0 Thank you for you continued prayer coverage for Point To Hope Ministries.\u00a0 I know Nancy is very excited about this next year and the message God has giving her for this upcoming year.\u00a0 Thank you for your targeted prayer coverage!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Blessings & Happy New Year,\u00a0 2015\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n
