“Your steps formed
a highway through the seas with footprints on a pathway no one even knew
was there. You led your people forward by your loving hand,
blessed by the leadership of Moses and Aaron.”
Ps. 77:19, 20. (TPT) |
Dear Partners and Prayer Warriors,
Just after I had finished
reading the above scripture, God gave to me this vision:
I was standing at the Red Sea,
just as if I were one of the Israelites of long ago. The Lord spoke and
said the sea represented adversity in this life.
He then parted the water, just as He did in scripture, and I
could see His footprints on the sea bed.
I began walking forward, placing my steps in His footprints. I
could see the water on both sides and knew that I was walking through
adversity but also, on Holy ground. I was being baptized by Living Water
as I passed through to the other side. I began to Thank God for parting
my “Red Sea” moments in this life, for seeing me, placing my steps in
His, and making a way for me.
I began to relax because I knew I had just been baptized for something
else, something more, possibly something bigger! Also, as I walked
through those parted waters, I knew I was not alone. Just as He had
prepared the way before me, He was also with me as my feet slipped into
His steps. This is where the vision stopped.
I began thinking about this past year and how 2020 was a lot like
passing through the Red Sea. It was a year of huge adversity – spirit,
soul, and body! We had to have His “steps that formed a highway through
the seas with footprints on a pathway no one even knew was there,” to
get through all of last year. Even though the adversities were enemy
filled by a spirit of fear, we His children were walking in His
footprints that He prepared ahead of time for us and we have all gone
through the same baptism as in the vision for something more and
possibly bigger.

Our prayer declaration for the year 2021 is this:
We stand
in faith that the pandemic
slows and good, solid, and viable medicine is available that does not put us at
risk. We believe that good
will overcome evil and evil will turn on itself because that is the promise of
God. We hope each and every one of us can respect the office of the
presidency regardless of our thoughts about the human who sits in that position.
We pray that our focus stay on
the
ONE TRUE GOD
who does not change and whose promises are from everlasting to
everlasting. We
speak health to our physical
bodies and healing to our country. And we
ask all of this in the name of
Jesus. Amen.
Because
of partners and prayer warriors like you, Loving People Enough Ministries is
very busy! We stay active in counseling, ministering, teaching and discipleship,
whether it is in an office, a chapel or the highways/ byways, and when God
allows, we will also look forward to being back on the mission field.
The goal of Loving People Enough
Ministries is to meet people right where they are and to be the servants God has
called us to be and where He has called us to go. Thank you very much for your
continued support in partnering with us for 2021.
We cannot do this without you and we would not want to. You are priceless
to us and we pray for you also! May your 2021 be full of blessing and always
walking in His footprint. We love you all!
