New Missions Thrust
Len is writing for the connect site the second announcement we wish to make for 2015. I will tell you that it concerns church planting with TRBC. It does not provide a building but gives native Pastors training, Bibles, humanitarian supplies, etc. The cost is $225 per church. Some meet in homes, huts, even under tree's (we take so much for granted) in Africa, South and Central America, and elsewhere around the world. Our goal is to pay for one a month. This will take the bulk of our extra giving at present levels but of course we are believing for increase. A certain portion of all offerings we take in will go to this as well. Some time back, we reached out to TRBC and they reached back. God spoke to us that this was part of a fulfillment of the message God gave Len 3 yrs ago "Reciprocal". This will undoubtedly be one of our biggest stretches next yr, though we have already started to do this. There will be much more detail in Lens article. we also plan to take in extra for TMCI in 2015 doing the same type of thing..
God spoke to my husbands heart and said he would be going to one of these places and that He was going to form a vision bond with one or more of these local native Pastors who will ultimately be left much of the ministry when its time for us to go home.. I never dreamed that foreign missions would come into play like this but I am eagerly watching to see what God will do..

"The Cross does not put an end to obedience.... Instead, trusting in Christ's finished work OPENS the way for a more complete and fuller obedience to the commands of God...."

We have some cool thank you gifts to any who join as partners for this expansion. This is not in our revival and other ministry budgets.(If Interested Message me for more info) More on that later... Within the next month I will also be talking about the main ministries we will be supporting in 2015. There is some awesome potential in the choices the Holy Spirit has led us to make for next year. We are so excited , Can't wait to share it with everyone! Please remember to pray for this soul winning ministry... Your prayers and support are impacting countless souls around the world...

How we show honor, value and relate to others says a lot about the revelation of Jesus that we have.
Abrasion in communication, self-centeredness, unwillingness to be inconvenienced by serving others, sarcasm, avoiding confrontation or uncomfortable interactions and negligence to notice the treasure in others are all symptoms of self-preservation.
It is easy to “know” and have a revelation of Jesus, but have a distorted view of His character, veiled behind walls.

The Hope Of All Mankind!
Even your own past has to bow to the mighty name of Jesus and free you
from its grave of regrets if God has called you…. The Cross has
eliminated everything in the enemies arsenal of weapons that could
possibly render your life ineffective. Cling to that old rugged Cross…
Preach it…Proclaim it… It is the good news; the Hope of all mankind….

There is still 2 days left on this drive...

Status Update: Wednesday August 20
In 1 Timothy Chapter 2 Verse 8 it says "In every place of worship, I want men to pray with holy hands lifted up to God, free from anger and controversy." NLT
It is so important that we do not live Angry lives.. Nor should we be at odds with others all the time.. These things will hinder our prayer and our worship.. Lets do our very best to let all offense go and put it away far from us.. As we do, we will begin to see glorious miracles..

Part of a prophetic Word God gave Pastor Len Paxton... 8-14-2014
"There is Provision for the Vision but stay away from Division... Focus on Gods Mission... The watchers eyes are upon all the earth and God is giving birth.... to a season of miracles.. Yes, Yes, Gods purposes will be fulfilled if we operate in His Will.. " Part of a prophetic Word God gave Pastor Len Paxton... 8-14-2014
The Warfare Is Accomplished
"Comfort ye, comfort ye my people,saith your God. Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the Lord's hand double for all her sins. [IS 40:1-2]
"When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, He said, IT IS FINISHED: and He bowed His head, and gave up the ghost.
[St John 19:30]
As long as you and I live in the body we will face challenges and struggles. It is a story as old as time. But on the Cross of Calvary, Jesus Christ won the victory for all who will place their faith in Him. During hard and difficult times I do not have to lose my peace and joy because Christ is my peace and joy as well as everything I need. The world around me may be shaking and falling apart at the seams but as a Christian, my confidence is in what Jesus has provided for me.
With faith and patience we inherit the promises[Hebrews 6:12]. Jesus has already defeated the powers of satan on the Cross[Colossians2:15]. Because of Calvary, we can have a clean heart and walk in the purity and righteousness of the Word of God. The battle is no longer our battle but the Lord's battle.
Here are several things to consider when you are in a battle and waiting for the victory to manifest itself in your life.
1- Satan can cause a battle to happen, but he cannot determine the final outcome.
2- Your reaction to the trouble will determine if God, or the enemy, is allowed to work in the situation.
3- A setback is only temporary and not final. A small defeat is no sign that the enemy has won.
4- God has already set a day, hour, and moment for you to come out of your fiery furnace. You must keep your faith in what Jesus did for you at the Cross until you see the victory take place.
5- God calls this fight " the good fight of faith"[2 Timothy 4:7] A good fight is a fight that is already won. God says to us through Calvary " The warfare is already accomplished!!"
God is never surprised when conflict comes to us. He already knew all about it before satan even began his strategy. The Lord wants us to keep our faith in Him at all times. The victory is already WON!!!
God says "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope."[Jeremiah 29:11 NKJV].
Every battle is already predetermined that YOU come forth the victor, because Jesus is the victor...
When the battle comes, some give up, give in and lose heart. Only then can satan take advantage of us.
Faith in what Jesus did at Calvary will ensure a completed victory.
The warfare is accomplished at Calvary!

Pride Is A Roadblock
Often, there are many roadblocks to a person being blessed. One of the major roadblocks is pride. Pride is a really high opinion of oneself.
Lucifer fell because of pride. See Isaiah 14: 12-14. Pride caused Lucifer to attempt an overthrow of God's kingdom. He was cast down and lost his position. How could an angel think he could overthrow God's kingdom? Obadiah 3 says, " The pride of your heart has deceived you." You see, self-deception takes place when pride enters. Pride will cause a person to think they are smarter than God.
Lets look at some [ only some] of the manifestations of Pride.
1- Not seeking God in prayer and in His Word.
2- Disobeying God's Word and Spirit.
3- Refusal to worship and give to God.
4- Forsaking the assembling in church.
5- No repentance when there is sin.
6- More concern with the opinion of others than with God's opinion.
7- Pursuit of pleasure, comfort, and convenience instead of commitment and surrender to God's will.
8- Rebellion-- unwillingness to submit to spiritual, family, or secular authority.
Those are merely a few of the pride indicators that we could list. What is Gods solution? HUMILITY!
God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. Casting our cares on the Lord acknowledges that our heavenly Father is the One who will take care of our cares... As we humble ourselves and resist the devil, God's grace will strengthen, perfect, establish, and settle us.

Never Underestimate the ability of God to put you over in life.. Seek His guidance, anointing, approval, fellowship, and strength on a daily basis.. No matter what others do or say; Live your life with a little faith.... Thats how miracles are made..

Mondays thought.. 8-11
I have said to many over the years, "no matter how hateful you talk and act toward me; you will not change me or what I preach. I am sold out the whole route... So rather than waste your time and energy on something you can not do you may as well move on to something and someone else. and.... Its ok.... I forgive you..." You have got to free your selves from anger and bitterness friends....
Psalm 23 confession
We hold fast to the confession The Lord is my Shepard I do not want..... We dont want for anything that pertains to this life because its found in JESUS.... Healing, Blessing, Companionship, Direction, Guidance, Provision, and..... so very much more....... ( Psalm 23)
On The Journey.
We can never be perfect so we don't strive for that... We strive to be worshippers and throughout our journey The Lord will perfect and mature that which concerns us.. Psalm 138:8

Don't change your message just because there is some wise cracker standing off to the side screaming how you are not perfect either..... Hey, Listen up... none of us are perfect but that does not change the Word! Preach what God gives you to preach.

27 Verses God Gave Me On the Importance Of Guarding Your Heart and Eyes.
Recently God began heavily dealing with me on this subject.Far too many today spend the bulk of their time airing their grievances on social sites for the whole world to see and its become very cumbersome and ungodly to even look at it in most cases. Its unbiblical as the Lord has told us to not take offense and if something occurs then we are to go to the parties involved. Not to anyone or everyone else. So the Lord told me in no uncertain terms to STOP looking at it all together. I do realize that this word was for me and not for everyone else to stop HOWEVER, the principals found in these verses can benefit every single one of us who follow Jesus. I used to spend countless hours walking and praying in the woods and received mighty impartations from the Holy Spirit and The Lord has told me to "Go back to the woods and change the image inside from the worldly chatter of much of the church and the SELF that many believers walk and function in and allow the Holy Spirit to put His and only His image inside you"............
This post I will only give the list of verses God gave me.... Look them up and meditate in them and I personally believe God will do a mighty work in you.. This will only be the list of verses and later I will be sharing audio and video teaching on these verses.. And oh yeah, God told me to expect persecution for the words sake..... Here then is the list of verses....
1)Phil 4:8 2)Phil 4:6-9 3)Rom 14:23 4) 1 Cor 2:16 5) 2 Cor 10:5 6) Rom 10:17 7) 1 Cor 14:10 8) Gal 6:7 9) Matt 7:2 10) Psalm 119:130 11) Mark 4:23 12) Matt 5:37 13) Mark 4:25 14) Matt 13:12 15)Luke 8:18 16)Acts 2:4 17)Psalm 45:1 18) Heb 5:11 19) Psalm 51:8 20) 2 Cor 3:18 21) Neh chapter 6 22) Prov. 29:18 23)1 Cor 12:12 24) Is 55:11 25) Mark 11:24 26) Matt 9:29 27) Eccl 1:11 and an extra, 28)Psalm 119:37 it also helps to read verses surrounding these... and there are of course many more verses that deal with the subject at hand.. these are simply the ones God applied to me... Back to the woods; change the image..
So now, launching out to obey God in this and watch Him do awesome and mighty things... Teaching from these verses coming soon....

The Invisible Things
You cannot see the smallest micro-creatures that exist in water, but they are there. You can in fact find a great number of these tiny, tiny creatures in a single drop of water. Just because they are unseen to the naked eye does not mean that they do not exist. How foolish it would be to claim that they do not exist simply because they cannot be seen without a microscope.
The Bible tells us that " The natural man recieveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned."[1 Cor. 2:14]
The powerful lens of a living faith is needed to see spiritual and eternal things. When a persons eyes are opened by the Spirit of God, new life will appear in the vast ocean of God's revealed truth in the Bible.
"Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,neither have entered into the heart of man,the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him. But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God." [1 Cor. 2:9-10]
If you will look to Jesus Christ and Him crucified today: God will reveal wonderful truths to you. It all begins by putting your faith in what Jesus did at the Cross.
God longs for us to know Him and we only truly can when our faith is in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
"For the preaching of the Cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God."[1 Cor 1:18]
