Family, today I believe the Lord has led me to send out a slightly modified version of a letter that this morning I sent to a Brother and his wife.\u00a0 I am supposing that the Lord has some person, or people, whom the letter would minister to.\u00a0 I pray to always hear and be obedient to His leading.\u00a0 I pray that this minister to some of you who hear the roaring of our enemy.\u00a0 Remember that the enemy roars like a lion, but that our Lord and Savior is the Lion Of The Tribe Of Judah.\u00a0\u00a0 Praise God!<\/p>\n

Thank you!<\/p>\n

Bob<\/p>\n

Hello Brother,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

No apologies necessary! \u00a0I love you Brother and I thank you for kind thoughts. \u00a0I love you both!<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you for giving me your new number. \u00a0I thought you were avoiding me! \u00a0Ha! \u00a0Just kidding!<\/span><\/p>\n

I will keep you both, and your family in prayer. \u00a0Having my father pass away in October 2015 I realize the great time that is dedicated to the care of a parent whose health is lessened.\u00a0 Since his death my siblings and I were immediately faced with the declining health of my mother.\u00a0 We still do.\u00a0 I would like to talk to you. \u00a0Or at least keep an open line of correspondence. \u00a0I know what it is to have your time so taken that even a few minutes seems like a lot to spare. \u00a0Still, I encourage you to do it. \u00a0The Word says that our enemy is like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8<\/strong>). \u00a0What do lions do but try to separate their prey from the pack and then close in to with a deadly attack. \u00a0I encourage you to stay connected with our family in the Lord. \u00a0As my Dad’s health decreased, I saw him most every day. \u00a0I missed, I think, very few days. \u00a0I did not pull back in what the Lord had me do. \u00a0Some very loving and dear family, even family in the Lord, thought that wrong. \u00a0They said that the Lord would understand and it would be okay for me to temporarily drop some ministries.\u00a0 However, that is not what the Lord wanted me to do.\u00a0 I am not saying it is wrong for everyone, but that it is not what the Lord would have me do. \u00a0I responded that I must be about my Father’s business (Luke2:49<\/strong>). \u00a0I prayed for my Dad to be healed and left it to the Lord. \u00a0Knowing and never straying from “God is good all the time and He loves me,” and my Dad, I found peace. \u00a0The Lord is my refuge (Psalm 18:2<\/strong>). \u00a0It is God Himself who calls, enables and sustains (Psalm 54:4<\/strong>). Brother, stay strong in Him. \u00a0Nothing else matters. \u00a0In response to what some said to me “The Lord will understand,” I say that is definitely true. \u00a0But what will He understand? \u00a0What will He know…about me? \u00a0What I want Him to know is that nothing, not anything, comes between Him and me. \u00a0It is not a morbid struggle, but a bond of love. \u00a0Our God is my everything. \u00a0He needs to be that for all of us. \u00a0I know you love the Lord. \u00a0I’m sure the enemy is attacking you. \u00a0I am confident that your faith shall shine. \u00a0Cling to the Lord who has a strong hold on you. \u00a0He loves you tenderly. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I hope we will stay in contact and maybe be able to meet. \u00a0Love God. \u00a0Oh, did I remember to say “love God?” \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Brother you and your wife are in my heart. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Love and blessings to you both,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Your brother and servant,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Psalm 150:6<\/strong>\u00a0–\u00a0Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.\u00a0 Praise the Lord!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Micah 7:7<\/strong>\u00a0– But as for me, I watch\u00a0in hope\u00a0for the\u00a0Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear\u00a0me.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Micah 6:8<\/strong>\u00a0–\u00a0He has shown You, O man, what\u00a0is\u00a0good; And what does the\u00a0Lord\u00a0require of You but to do justly, to love mercy, And to walk humbly with Your God.<\/span><\/p>\n
