August 28, 2014 - 10 minutes readBeloved In Christ,
It is a great day to praise our Lord!:). Moreover, it is always good for us to praise and pray together! Friday Morning is here, and Sunday is coming! Let’s prepare our hearts and worship! :).
All creatures of our God and King
Lift up your voice and with us sing
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Thou burning sun with golden beam
Thou silver moon with softer gleam
O praise Him, O praise Him!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Thou rushing wind that art so strong
Ye clouds that sail in heav’n along
O praise Him, Alleluia!
Thou rising morn, in praise rejoice
Ye lights of evening, find a voice
O praise Him, O praise Him
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
I got a hold of Pastor Rod to confirm we were meeting at Bethel. He responded, “Absolutely!” That’s what I am talking about! Yes! Absolutely we be gettin together, and Yes! We be excited to praise, worship and pray to our gracious God!
Friday Morning Prayer: Brothers are meeting at Bethel Assembly. 1929 Arnold Way. Alpine. 0730.

If you need to be encouraged, have a need, overflowing and need to love someone, and/or just need to get with family and praise and pray together, join us this Friday Morning. Even now I am crying out to God the Holy Spirit to prepare the way, cleanse my heart, stir those needing to engage and connect. Glory! Halleluia! Glory to the Lamb! All praises and honor forever! Singing Glory, Halleluia, Glory to the Lamb… Amen. :). Hymns of praise by Fernando Ortega:
Children of the Living God, Come and sing, Sing out loud!
Children of the Living God, Sing to the Living God!
Sing of the wonders He has made, Bird in flight, Falling rain.
Sing of the wonders He has made, Sing to the Living God!
How He loves us with great love, He who sits enthroned above.
For our lives He spilled His blood, Sent His Spirit like a flood.
Children of the Living God, Sing to the Living God!
Sing of His gentle healing hands, How they found the lowliest man.
Sing of His gentle healing hands, Sing to the Living God!
Sing of the mercy that He gives, though we sin, He forgives.
Sing of the mercy that He gives, Sing to the Living God!
Sing for the morning when He comes in the clouds, Glorious Son!
Sing for the morning when He comes, Sing to the Living God!
Brothers and sisters,
We have been praying consistently for Alpine and the surrounding communities: our churches, pastors, leaders, residents, youth…. That our Holy God through us/you would unite us as the Body of Christ and supernaturally empower us to reach the many needing salvation. Paul wrote in 2 Cor. 5: 16-20:
“So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:The old has gone, the new is here! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.”
Wow! “…ambassadors…God…making His appeal through us…message of reconciliation…” Powerful! “…the new is here!”
As we continue to pray, we are asking for your prayers about the next step God would orchestrate. Joseph and the leadership at Behold\Alpine Youth Center have many things in place for the fall. For example, Joan McQueen, Alpine Treatment Center, Activities for youth, etc., Pray, pray, pray about where YOU might engage with us to build God’s Kingdom. We very much appreciate the embracing of many local churches, especially hosting weekly Friday Morning Prayer, announcing to your congregation events, volunteer opportunities, etc.,
Pray about what more can be done to the Glory of our gracious God and to the benefit of the Body of Christ:). Maybe a love offering to help support the Alpine Youth Center, showing your appreciation and letting others know about what we do. If you don’t really know what we do…. I know Joseph would like to meet with you and I would too! We want pastors, leaders, men’s groups, woman’s groups, hence the Body of Christ to be familiar with who we are and what is happening right here in Alpine to reach our communities with the gospel. Please diligently pray about enhancing your participation and even further supporting the Alpine Youth Center as the Lord affirms and directs you.
If you are skeptical, have questions, need clarification… the time has come where we are seriously praying about support: prayer support, financial support, sharing support, getting the word out to folks who need and desire to serve youth, reach out, water, plant, nurture, realize their gift through this avenue God has provided. Pray earnestly about how God wants to join us together to make a supernatural difference!
As a Director on the Board along side of Joseph, I can say with confidence… we love the Body of Christ, Love our pastors, and other leaders, and only desire to promote, enhance, nurture, support, encourage what God is already doing through your church. Allow us to love others, you, and the many God will bring through a united message of hope, activities, outreaches, etc., In fact, I know Joseph believes this too… we need YOU and the Body of Christ! Moreover, if you want to examine us, we are open, help us be creative, to honor your ideas, and respect all things committed to bring a message of reconciliation.
And all ye men of tender heart
Forgiving others, take your part
O sing ye, Alleluia!
A brother said to me, “do not be discouraged” in the context of talking about unity and new wine…. Yes. Well, I must say I believe in a sovereign God:). I trust our God to continue to move as He determines. No matter what, I know my calling and yours is to love others, especially my brothers and sisters In Christ, and proclaim the gospel. Love never fails! :). As we continue to pray, we genuinely, completely, most assuredly, confidently, trust God to clearly lead as He determines. There is no other way to be In Christ!
Ye who long pain and sorrow bear
Praise God and on Him cast your care
O praise Him, O praise Him
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Praise Him all creatures here below
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Rejoice Always!
LoVe YOU much!
Randall:)
