Subject: "Abba, Father!" - January 2026 NM Prayer Connect/PATH, NM/COG, NM, El Paso, TX & Southwest Indian Ministries (SWIM) Newsletter


Only 3 times in the new testament is the word 'Abba' used for "Father," and it's in Aramaic, meaning an intimate relationship with our 'Daddy!' 
Mark 14:36 And He was saying, “Abba! Father! All things are possible for You; remove this cup from Me; yet not what I will, but what You will (NASB 1995).”

Galatians 4:6 in all English translations 
The Bible is very clear that Jesus came to show us The Way to The Father, but are we in an intimate, personal relationship with The One Who so Loves us that He gave His One & Only Begotten Son to save the world? Jesus says in John 17, "Just as The Father sent Me, so I Am sending you!" Paul the Apostle asks, "How are they going to know if we don't tell them?" 
The Word, "Father" is in the scriptures more than 1,000 times, so we ought to pay attention to what The Holy Spirit is saying to The Church/Ecclesia, His 'Called Out Ones' in 2026! 
It's believed by most biblical scholars that Jesus only took 15 minutes to give us what is called, 'The Sermon On The Mount,' in Matthew 5-7.  Although this is basically short and sweet, He uses The Word, "Father" 17 times in this portion of Holy Script alone.  I often say, when God is speaking, "Moses, Moses" or Jesus is saying, "Verily, Verily/Truely, Truely," They're trying to get our attention, like when The Bible says, "Behold," meaning look, see, fix your eyes upon this! Even Jesus says, "You will go to The Father, In My Name." I'm not trying to be dogmatic here, but I do believe that Jesus only said and did what The Father told Him to say and do, so when He tells us to "Go and do likewise," we need to take Him far more seriously, like our 'father,' Abraham, as recorded in both the old and new testament, he took God at His Word and acted upon It, because Jesus' ½ brother tells us that "Faith without works is dead." As we leave the old year behind and press on into the new, let us go boldly into our future, praying in the Prophetic Word like Daniel.  Every disciple of Christ, meaning Messiah, The Anointed One, should be standing on the promises of God, knowing that they are yes and amen in Jesus! We're told that everything that can be shaken will be shaken, except for the Kingdom Of God.  Paul tells us, "The Kingdom Of God Is Righteous, Peace & Joy In The Holy Spirit!" He declared that his righteousness was as filthy rags, but all believers are declared righteous, "The Righteousness Of God In Christ Jesus." You and I are ambassadors, representing Jesus everywhere we go! He Is our Shalom, peace, wholeness, fullness and blessing.  The Joy Of The LORD Is our strength, The Fruit Of The Holy Spirit, according to Galatians 5 and in our weakness, God shows Himself Mighty in our midst! I anticipate great things in this new year because, "God Is Faithful, by Whom you have been called." He's The Hope that Is within the veil, The Hope Of Israel, The Hope Of the nations, The Hope Of the world and The Hope that will not disappoint us, according to His Word, Will & Way + He watches over It to perform It, so let us go boldly into our future together, knowing that He goes before us in all things, He's with us and for us, He'll never leave or forsake us, He's above you, below you, beside you, behind you and it's Christ in you, The Hope of Glory, God's manifest Presence in 2026 and in His Presence is fullness of Joy!
If you or someone you know would like to hold a prayer meeting in or around New Mexico, don't hesitate to contact me.  
A Blessed 2026 to you and yours with Shalom,

Subject: "FINALLY!" December 2025 New Mexico Prayer Connect / Prayer At The Heart Of New Mexico (PATH) / COG, NM/El Paso, TX & Southwest Indian Ministries (SWIM) Newsletter
 
2 Corinthians 13:11 (NASB 1995) "Finally, brothers and sisters, 
rejoice, mend your ways, be comforted, be like minded, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with 
you."

As we finish off 2025 and prepare for 2026, after giving GOD Thanksgiving in November, so that we could cross the threshold of HIS Gates, we gain access into HIS Courts with Praise, for ALL that HE has done & everything HE's brought us through, as promised In Christ JESUS and look forward with great anticipation to what The LORD has in store for us at the end of December, so let us finish well, as we come to the final stretch of this year!

Paul exhorts us with his closing comments to the Churches in Corinth, Ephesus, Philippi and Thessalonica, but Peter gets the final say in the matter of these Holy Spirit Words of LIFE, as they were moved upon to write these portions of Holy Script.  Notice how positive their last Words to the called-out ones, these congregations of GOD are! The Greek Words used in all of these Scripture verses for "FINALLY" in the English language are very rich and meaningful from both human authors, because they expect maximum obedience to everything written prior to their conclusion, so as to bring forth GOD's ultimate prophetic purposes to the uttermost, for complete growth to occur and HIS Good Fruit of The HOLY GHOST to come forth.  

Philippians 3:1 (NASB 1995) "Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things again is no trouble to me, and it is a safeguard for you." 

Like GOD's, "Moses, Moses" or JESUS', "Verily, Verily" & "Truely, Truely," the least of the Apostles, as Paul called himself, the author of the most books in the New Testament tells us, although Luke actually wrote more WORDS, "Rejoice In The LORD/YAHWEH 'ALWAYS' And 'AGAIN' I Say (In The HOLY SPIRIT) REJOICE! I'm certain plenty reading this had ups, downs, ins and outs this year, but GOD Is Working 'ALL' Things Together For Our Good, For Those Who LOVE HIM & Are Called, According To HIS Purposes (Please take the time to reread and meditate upon the explanation for 'FINALLY' above, before continuing below).  

Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is [a] lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, [b] dwell on these things (NASB 1995).  

Footnotes
Philippians 4:8 Or lovable and gracious
Philippians 4:8 Lit ponder these things.  

JESUS Is The TRUTH, everything HE said and did was Honorable & Right, HE's Pure, Lovely, Lovable, Gracious & Good, absolutely Excellent in Every 'WAY' and HE Alone Is Worthy Of ALL Praise, so we should Dwell, Ponder and "Abide In HIM," according to John 15, in order to bear, produce for HIM, Good & Lasting Fruit for HIS Kingdom Of Righteousness, Peace/Shalom & Joy In The HOLY GHOST! HE Is Due ALL Honor & Glory, so turn & fix your eyes upon JESUS, look upon HIM, because HE Is The Author & Finisher of our Faith and without Faith it's Impossible to Please GOD.  Hunger and thirst for HIS Righteousness, The Living Bread Of LIFE & the wine of HIS Blood, so rivers of Living Water will flow out of you.  Read The WORD daily, out loud if possible, because Faith comes by hearing and hearing by The WORD Of GOD! HE, Who has begun a good work in you will complete it.  You'll be transformed by the renewing of your heart and mind.  

2 Thessalonians 3:1 Finally, brethren, pray for us that the word of the Lord will [a] spread rapidly and be glorified, just as it did also with you (NASB 1995); 

Footnotes
2 Thessalonians 3:1 Lit run.  

PRAY continually for those in leadership, your family, friends, coworkers, schoolmates, neighbors and even your enemies, because GOD wishes that none would perish and that ALL would come to Repentance, to turn and think differently, change their minds about what they think or heard about The LORD, but that they would actually be born-again and intimately come to know HIM personally! 

1 Peter 3:8 [a] To sum up, all of you be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, and humble in spirit (NASB 1995); 

Footnotes
1 Peter 3:8 Or Finally.  

To wrap things up during this month of Hanukkah (Read John 10:22-23) & Christmas, I hope that the body of Christ/Messiah/The Anointed ONE, Jew & Gentile, will come together as ONE, according to JESUS' John 17 PRAYER and the book of Ephesians, because this is GOD's Heart's desire! 'Let Us' allow HIM to have HIS WAY with us, individually and corporately, in harmony, every member doing their part, for HIS Kingdom to come and HIS Will to be done on Earth, as It Is In HEAVEN.  May HIS SPIRIT and the fruit thereof, as mentioned in Galatians 5, bring Peace/Shalom & Goodwill to ALL humankind.  Resist the devil, submit yourself to GOD, humble yourself In HIS Sight and HE Will lift you up, seated in Heavenly Places With HIM.  Be filled with The SPIRIT and serve/worship HIM wholeheartedly, trusting that HE has greater things instore for you in 2026! If you or someone you know would like to have a PRAYER gathering in or around New Mexico, don't hesitate to contact me & PRAYERFULLY consider joining us @ChristianBody.Net for the 'Transformation PRAYER Seminar,' Saturday, December 13, 9am - 12noon MT (REGISTER Today @ Transformation Prayer ) + Invite others & Spread The WORD, because it's limited to only 1,000 attendants!

​"WOE!" November 2025 - NM Prayer Connect/PATH, NM/COG, NM, El Paso, TX & SWIM Newsletter! 

Jeremiah 23
New American Standard Bible 1995
The Coming Messiah: the Righteous Branch
23 “Woe to the shepherds who are destroying and scattering the sheep of My pasture!” declares the Lord. 2 Therefore thus says the Lord God of Israel concerning the shepherds who are [a] tending My people: “You have scattered My flock and driven them away, and have not attended to them; behold, I am about to attend to you for the evil of your deeds,” declares the Lord. 3 “Then I Myself will gather the remnant of My flock out of all the countries where I have driven them and bring them back to their pasture, and they will be fruitful and multiply. 4 I will also raise up shepherds over them and they will [b] tend them; and they will not be afraid any longer, nor be terrified, nor will any be missing,” declares the Lord.
5 “Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord,
“When I will raise up for David a righteous [c] Branch;
And He will reign as king and [d] act wisely
And do justice and righteousness in the land.
6 “In His days Judah will be saved,
And Israel will dwell securely;
And this is His name by which He will be called,
‘The Lord our righteousness.’

2. Jeremiah 23:4 Or shepherd
3. Jeremiah 23:5 Lit Sprout
4. Jeremiah 23:5 Or succeed.  

This writing is not for the faint of heart, but for those of us in the LORD/Yahweh, like Joshua getting ready to take the land, we are told by God to take courage, so remember that we enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise.  Although Paul the Apostle tells us to go boldly into the Holy of Holies, he also, under the influence of the Holy Spirit, commands us to examine ourselves, before entering into communion with our heavenly Father! Since all readers can confirm that we are now closer to Jesus' second coming than when we first believed, I am convinced that the time is short, so we need to be about our Father's business, because we all will give an account, as to how we conducted ourselves, regarding the call and gift upon us and the works that He has called us to do.  

In the Bible, "woe" is a term that signifies grief, distress, or impending judgment. It serves as a prophetic warning, often highlighting the seriousness of sin and the consequences that follow. The Greek term for "woe" is "ouai," which conveys a sense of lamentation and is used to express a judgment against those who rebel against God. 
Bible Hub+2

For those who participated in the most recent "No Kings' rallies across America and around the world, take note of the following scripture verses, because Jesus/Yeshua is the King of Kings and LORD of all, whether you like it or not! To my praying sisters and brothers, never forget that 2 Chronicles 7:14 is not just about God healing us, but healing the land, because all of creation is groaning and eagerly awaiting for the sons of God to be revealed.  Apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, preachers, teachers, bishops, elders, deacons and all shepherds of God's flock must take heed to the Word of God laid out before us today, because we are the ones to equip the saints for service in His kingdom of righteousness, peace/shalom and joy in the Holy Ghost!

Ecclesiastes 10:16-20
New American Standard Bible 1995
16 Woe to you, O land, whose king is a lad and whose princes [a] feast in the morning. 17 Blessed are you, O land, whose king is of nobility and whose princes eat at the appropriate time—for strength and not for drunkenness. 18 Through indolence the rafters sag, and through slackness the house leaks. 19 Men prepare a meal for enjoyment, and wine makes life merry, and money [b] is the answer to everything. 20 Furthermore, in your bedchamber do not curse a king, and in your sleeping rooms do not curse a rich man, for a bird of the heavens will carry the sound and the winged creature will make the matter known.

Notice the three 'woes' in the following portion of Holy script, read carefully Ezekiel's two 'woes' following and brace yourself for Jesus' eight.  More than God's, "Moses, Moses," 
Jesus' "Verily, verily" or "Truly, truly," understand that when God speaks once, we should all listen and properly respond, but when He doubles down, triples of magnifies His Word

Isa 5:20
Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;

While you were not destroyed;

23 "Then it came about after all your wickedness ('Woe, woe to you!' declares the Lord God),
24 that you built yourself a shrine and made yourself a high place in every square.
25 You built yourself a high place at the top of every street and made your beauty abominable, and you spread your legs to every passer-by to multiply your harlotry.
26 You also played the harlot with the Egyptians, your lustful neighbors, and multiplied your harlotry to make Me angry.
27 Behold now, I have stretched out My hand against you and diminished your rations. And I delivered you up to the desire of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who are ashamed of your lewd conduct.
28 Moreover, you played the harlot with the Assyrians because you were not satisfied; you played the harlot with them and still were not satisfied.
29 You also multiplied your harlotry with the land of merchants, Chaldea, yet even with this you were not satisfied."'"
Matthew 23:13-36
New American Standard Bible
Eight Woes
13 “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you shut the kingdom of heaven in front of people; for you do not enter it yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.[a] 
15 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you travel around on sea and land to make one [b] proselyte; and when he becomes one, you [c] make him twice as much a son of [d] hell as yourselves.
16 “Woe to you, blind guides, who say, ‘Whoever swears by the [e] temple, that is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the [f] temple is obligated.’ 17 You fools and blind men! Which is [g] more important, the gold or the [h ]temple that sanctified the gold? 18 And you say, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, that is nothing; but whoever swears by the [i]  offering that is on it is obligated.’ 19 You blind men, which is [j]more important, the [k] offering or the altar that sanctifies the [l] offering? 20 Therefore, the one who swears by the altar, swears both by [m] the altar and by everything on it. 21 And the one who swears by the [n] temple, swears both by [o] the temple and by Him who dwells in it. 22 And the one who swears by [p] heaven, swears both by the throne of God and by Him who sits upon it.
23 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and [q] cumin, and have neglected the weightier provisions of the Law: justice and mercy and faithfulness; but these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others. 24 You blind guides, who [r] strain out a gnat and swallow a camel!
25 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside they are full [s] of robbery and self-indulgence. 26 You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the dish, so that the [t] outside of it may also become clean.
27 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness. 28 So you too, outwardly appear righteous to people, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
29 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs for the prophets and decorate the monuments of the righteous, 30 and you say, ‘If we had been living in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partners with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ 31 So you testify against yourselves, that you are [u] sons of those who murdered the prophets. 32 [v] Fill up, then, the measure of the guilt of your fathers. 33 You snakes, you [w] offspring of vipers, how [x]will you escape the [y] sentence of [z] hell?
34 “Therefore, behold, I am sending you prophets and wise men and scribes; some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will flog in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city, 35 so that upon you will fall the guilt of all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the [aa] temple and the altar. 36 Truly I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.

After prayerfully reading over the above warnings from God, we must look to the future, the following Revelation of Jesus Christ.  Always remember that God is Love, He wishes none would perish and all would come to repentance! His Word is to bring correction, discipline if necessary, but it's always meant to bring us to His total healing and full restoration, should we choose to accept it, but if not, judgement is coming.  Sooner or later, the curtain drops, the credits roll and it's the end, when God will say, "Enough!" All indications are that Jesus is at the door, so there's no time to waste, we have a job to do, so as mentioned earlier, we have three distinct 'woes' to those who live on the earth from Isaiah the prophet in chapter five of his writings, which contain more Messianic prophecies than any other book in the Bible.  As we come to a close, in Revelation 8, we see three confirming 'woes,' the remaining blasts of the trumpet, as the three angels are about to sound.  In Revelation 9, the first woe is past, but we're warned once again that two woes are still coming and we're told to behold, literally meaning to fix your gaze upon and use both ears to hear what the Spirit is saying to the church in our day! Revelation 11 tells us the second woe is past, again to behold and the third and final woe is coming quickly.  Jesus says He is coming like a thief in the night, He is coming quickly, no man knows the day or the hour, but for certain, He is coming soon! Like the sons of Issachar, Jashub, Shimron, Tola & Puah, in the books of Genesis & 1 Chronicles 7-14; each and every one of us must discern, understand the days and times we are living in and to know what we ought to do.  Throughout biblical history, the tribe of Issachar is portrayed as a stabilizing force that provided crucial wisdom and counsel during periods of change and uncertainty.  This wisdom made them effective leaders who could advise the nation and awaken them to freedom! Sisters & brothers, timing is everything and today we need a true spiritual awakening and revival in our city, county, state, nation and the world.  

Revelation 8:13
New American Standard Bible
13 Then I looked, and I heard [a] an eagle flying in midheaven, saying with a loud voice, “Woe, woe, woe to those who live on the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound!”

“The Shot Heard Around The World!” October 2025 NM Prayer Connect/PATH, NM/COG, NM – El Paso, TX & SWIM, South West Indian Ministries Newsletter!
While most will reflect on the start of the American Revolution in Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775, the actual phrase originated in the 1837 poem “Concord Hymn,” by Ralph Waldo Emerson, commemorating the events of that day, but on Wednesday, September 10, 2025, 250 years afterwards, another shot rang out that will certainly change the landscape of these United States and the battle has been raging around the world ever since! Please bear, tolerate and endure with me, as I seek to enlighten you on the spiritual implications of what I believe is presently playing out in the natural realm, on earth, as it is in the heavenlies.  Without stepping off into the weeds and certainly not going into numerology, I hope to give you insights into some biblical meanings in the above-mentioned numbers and those to come.  From 1775 to 1837 is 62 years, so if we add 6+2=8 & from 1837 to 2025 is 188 years, so if we add 1+8+8=17, then 1+7=8, so the number 8 in the bible symbolizes ‘new beginnings, resurrection, and spiritual regeneration.’ It follows the number 7, which represents perfection and completion, signifying what comes after it and seven is exactly what you get when you take the 250 years (2+5=7) from 1775-2025 and that’s 5 jubilees! The Hebrew word for “eight” sh’moneh, comes from a root that means “to fatten,” connecting it to the idea of abundance.  The number 8 often denotes something beyond the normal, such as supernatural events or acts of God’s power and in a spiritual sense, the number 8 can also represent finding a balance between the spiritual and material worlds.  A sideways 8, known as the infinity symbol, signifies limitlessness, eternity, and infinite possibilities in mathematics and other fields.  It symbolizes an endless loop with no beginning or end, representing concepts such as endless love, hope, loyalty, continuity, prosperity, and spiritual wholeness across various cultures and disciplines.  The symbol may have been inspired by the Roman numeral 1,000 or the Greek letter omega.  
Matthew 27:51 And behold, the [a] veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth shook and the rocks were split (NASB).  
Footnotes a) Matthew 27:51 Or curtain.   
Geologists have identified a seismic event between 26-36 CE, aligning with the likely historical date of the crucifixion on April 3, 33 CE (a Friday).  This quake is estimated to have been significant enough to cause the effects, though exact magnitude; described as severe (rocks split, tombs opened) is unknown due to ancient records, but are supported by geological evidence of a regional event near Jerusalem, Judea (modern Israel).  Keep in mind that this is not about idolizing Charlie Kirk, in any way, shape or form, because I truly believe that he would have done nothing to glorify himself, but only point people to Jesus! On the other hand, four fingers and a thumb, as my brother-in-law used to say, his life and death have shown us some similarities with our savior, as should be the case for all followers of Christ.  There was an earthquake in Utah, shortly after his death.  A magnitude 4.1 earthquake struck eastern Utah and the epicenter was at a shallow depth of about 6.2 miles, with reports of light shaking, but no significant damage or injuries.  The proximity in timing for Kirk (same day) mirrors the immediacy in the Gospel account, but the scales have yet to have been weighed out in full.  
Elisha the prophet asked for a double portion of his mentor’s anointing, so when he witnessed Elijah, being caught up to heaven in a chariot of fire, he picked up his mantle and according to the biblical accounts, Elisha performed twice as many miracles than his predecessor.  Fast forward 849-900 years and Jesus comes on the scene.  He told His disciples that they would do greater things than He! As a matter of fact, Hebrews 11, talking about the great women and men of faith, tells us that they are incomplete without you and me and that God has greater things in store for us.  Prior to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Turning point had some 900 chapters in high schools, colleges and universities across the US, but almost immediately after his death, there were some 120,000 requests to start new chapters in America and around the world.  His memorial service had some 200,000 people show up in AZ (according to police estimates) and some two hundred million views.  Not only across America, but around the world, many nations had memorial services, including Australia, South Korea and the UK.  Before his passing, I believed America was already in an awakening period and headed for a true spiritual revival, but since, there’s no doubt that God sent for The Comforter for all those who were mourning.  One doesn’t have to go over the edge to realize that the celebration of God’s two prophets’ deaths, recorded in the book of Revelation, known as ‘Satan’s Christmas,’ is more than possible in this present world of darkness that we’re living in, although the bible tells us that Light shines best in the darkness and where sin abounds, (Holy Spirit) Grace abounds, that much more therefore, so put on the full armor of God! 
A recent Barna poll shows that more Gen-Zs are attending church today than ever in our nations history, so you have to know that God is up to something, but my major concern is, if the western world church just continues to do the same old same old, instead of becoming new wineskins, for God to fill us up with his ‘New Wine,’ we’re probably going to just get the same old results.  Every great awakening and revival has run down the clock, as mankind wanted their names on it, rather than giving all glory, honor and praise to God! This generation could very well be the one to make straight the way for the 2nd coming of Jesus, but only if we tread lightly, because we are presently at the feet of Jesus, on Holy ground, so pay very close attention to what His Spirit is saying to the church today and be obedient to the gift and call that He has placed upon you, like Queen Esther, ‘For such a time, as this.’ I’m writing this on the eve of the highest Holy day on the biblical calendar, Yom Kippur, The Day of Atonement, but never forget, that everything that came before Jesus, is only a type and shadow of the things to come and the law was like a schoolmaster, to take you by the hand and lead you to ‘The ONE’ that Moses, the prophets, the proverbs and all old testament scriptures are pointing to, Messiah/Christ/The Anointed ONE! Atonement would only cover your sins for a year.  It was never about the blood of bulls, rams and lambs, but about the precious blood/LIFE of Yeshua/Jesus/Salvation, that takes away our sins, never to be brought up again and that’s ‘expiation,’ as if it never happened at all.  That’s ‘Victory in Jesus,’ the ONE Who came to dwell, abide, tabernacle among us, so let’s continue to pray, worship and serve Him, make straight The Way of The LORD/Yahweh and usher in the second coming of The King of Kings!
If you or someone you know would like to have a prayer gathering, in or around NM, don’t hesitate to contact me! We’re presently in the process of networking 120 prayer warriors in each county (based on the 120 in the upper room) & 7,000 intercessors (based on God telling Elijah that he was not alone and that He had 7,000 followers) in our state (visit https://prayersttheheart.org for more information nationally) so invite others to join us on this journey and spread the word, because we’re praying for one million souls to receive Salvation from Resurrection to Pentecost Sunday in 2026!
Thanks & Blessings with Shalom,

​Subject: September 2025, NM Prayer Connect/PATH, NM/COG, NM, El Paso, TX & South West Indian Ministries (SWIM) Newsletter -Ecclesiastes 3:4 A time to weep and a time to laugh; A time to mourn and a time to dance (NASB 1995).
 
Ecclesiastes 3:4 A time to weep and a time to laugh; A time to mourn and a time to dance (NASB 1995).
 
Jeremiah 13:23 “Can the Ethiopian change his skin
Or the leopard his spots?
Then you also can do good
Who are accustomed to doing evil.
24 “Therefore, I will scatter them like drifting straw
To the desert wind.
25 “This is your lot, the portion measured to you
From Me,” declares the Lord,
“Because you have forgotten Me
And trusted in falsehood (NASB 1995).  

Jeremiah is known as 'the weeping prophet' and he's my hero! I can only think that Simon Marak had him in mind, when he penned the third line of the famous hymn, 'I Have Decided to Follow Jesus' in 1880:  

3. Though none go with me, still I will follow;
Though none go with me, still I will follow;
Though none go with me, still I will follow;
No turning back, no turning back.

The words reflect Luke 9:23, emphasizing self-denial, the taking up of the cross, and daily discipleship.  Imagine doing everything, just as God asked you to and then watching your whole nation go into bondage.  

Isaiah 1:5 Where will you be stricken again,
As you continue in your rebellion?
The whole head is sick
And the whole heart is faint (NASB 1995).  

I was raised in the church, although I was not saved until I was twenty-five years old.  It never dawned on me that I was at war with God, as the bible says or that I was considered His enemy.  In our fallen nature, we have a rebellious spirit, we're sick in the head and faint in heart, which is why Jesus says, "You must be born-again!" 

Jeremiah 4:22 “For My people are foolish,
They know Me not;
They are stupid children
And have no understanding.
They are shrewd to do evil,
But to do good they do not know (NASB 1995).”

Paul the Apostle said, "I'll be a fool for Christ," but when God calls us foolish, stupid, without understanding and shrewd to do evil, not able to do good, we're in trouble.  He also let us know that any works that we do in the flesh and not by God's Holy Spirit are as filthy rags and unprofitable.  We have not only believed the lie of the deceiver, but like our father, the devil, we deceive others, speak lies and commit iniquities, having immoral or grossly unfair behavior to our family, friends, coworkers and neighbors, instead of loving our neighbor as ourselves.  

Jeremiah 9:5 “Everyone deceives his neighbor
And does not speak the truth,
They have taught their tongue to speak lies;
They weary themselves committing iniquity (NASB 1995).

God continually warns us and others to do the right thing or suffer the consequences, He's no respecter of persons and will turn away from us, so we have to humble ourselves, repent, turn from our wicked ways and then He will smile upon us, forgive our sins and heal our land.  

Jeremiah 18:17 ‘Like an east wind I will scatter them
Before the enemy;
I will show them My back and not My face
In the day of their calamity (NASB 1995).’” 

I'm generally not a hell, fire and brimstone preacher, but people need to know that Jesus talked more about hell than Heaven! If we don't receive His forgiveness, we will die in our trespasses against Him and others, this is our portion and He has given us free will, but He clearly admonishes us to, "Choose Life!" 

Psalm 11:6 Upon the wicked He will rain snares;
Fire and brimstone and burning wind will be the portion of their cup (NASB 1995).  

The following portion of Holy Script comes from the mouth of Jesus Himself and He only said and did what The Father told Him.  Theologians tell us that Isaiah the prophet was sawn in two and if you've ever seen the movie, Braveheart, historians tell us that he was disemboweled.  The bible says that our sin separates us from the presence of God and the only mediator between God and man is the man Christ Jesus, His is the only name under Heaven, by which we 'must be saved.' 

Matthew 24:51 and will cut him in pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth (NASB 1995).  

All the nations of the earth are just a one drop of water in the ocean to God, but He wishes that none would perish, and all would come to repentance.  Jesus still says to us today, "Come unto Me, all who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest!" 

Psalm 9:17 The wicked will return to Sheol,
Even all the nations who forget God (NASB 1995).  

I believe that America is in an awakening period, but the time to act is now, because we don't know how long this door of opportunity will remain open.  We're encouraged in scripture to take advantage of every opportunity, so let us not forget the God of the bible, the very foundation that our nation was built upon.  From the Mayflower Pact to the cross being planted on the beach in Virginia, America's destiny is calling us back to our basic Judeo/Christian beliefs and actions, to return to our first Love/God! In two separate portions of biblical text we'll read, "Forget the former things," and then, "Remember the former things." The bible never contradicts itself, but we always need to look at the biblical context, who God is speaking to, when, why, what is He really saying, where did these things take place and how do we apply these words of Life in a practical way, in this present world of darkness that we're living in? 

Jeremiah 2:32 “Can a virgin forget her ornaments,
Or a bride her attire?
Yet My people have forgotten Me
Days without number (NASB 1995).

Almost everyone mentions the famous bible verse, "Forsake not the assembling of the brethren," but rarely do we hear it in its entirety, "Even more so, as you see The Day approaching." Some translations call it, 'The great and terrible day of the LORD/Yahweh!' My friends, judgement day is closer now than when we first believed.  It always interested me how Jesus says, "I didn't come to condemn the word, but to save it," but He also said, "You're condemned already," but He has provided the way out, so there's no condemnation in Christ Jesus! Today, if you hear His voice, harden not your hearts.  

Jeremiah 3:21 A voice is heard on the bare heights,
The weeping and the supplications of the sons of Israel;
Because they have perverted their way,
They have forgotten the Lord their God (NASB 1995).  

God heard the cries of His people in Egypt and brought a great deliverance to them. The voice of One is still crying out in the wilderness, this dry and weary land, but those who have ears to hear what His Holy Spirit is saying to us in love will respond accordingly.  Weeping may last for the night, but Holy Spirit joy will come, if you receive it.  It's up to you and me to make straight the way of the LORD, to make the perverted/crooked ways straight and to remember the One Who made us, redeemed us and wants to call us His own.  May I say a closing word to each and every one, in this time and season, from Pete Seeger and The Byrds:

To everything, turn, turn, turn
There is a season, turn, turn, turn 
And a time to every purpose under heaven

10Days.Net is coming to Santa Fe, NM, September 22-October 2, 2025, so help us spread the word! If you or someone you know would like to have a prayer meeting in or around NM, don't hesitate to contact me!

​Subject: "LET US..." August 2025 NM Prayer Connect/Prayer At The Heart Of New Mexico/ COG, NM, El Paso, TX & Southwest Indian Ministries (SWIM) Newsletter!
 
Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the [a] sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth (NASB 1995).”
Footnotes

1. Genesis 1:26 Lit heavens 

From 'The Beginning,' GOD says! In John 1:1, The Holy Spirit moves upon John the Apostle to write, "In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God," so if this is about Jesus (and we know it is), and in Revelation 1:8; 21:6 & 22:13; He states that He Is The Beginning, so whenever anyone says Jesus isn't God, they need to read Genesis 1:1; "In The Beginning God created the heaven and the earth," and Colossians 1:17 tells us that "By Him (Yeshua/Jesus) all things consist!" + Hebrews 1:10-12 says, "Thou, LORD (Yahweh), In 'The Beginning' hast laid the foundation of the earth," ALL confirming Jesus' (Eternal) statement, "Before Abraham was, I AM!" 

In (The Original) Las Vegas, NM, a billboard declares that Jesus never said He was God and a friend of mine just returned from TX, telling me he saw several of these same advertisements, so apparently someone is spending some money, probably nationwide, to discredit The Truth of Holy Script.  Without further ado, our opening bible verse is the first mention of God speaking, "Let Us," but not without dispute.  The Word "us" in this phrase refers to H430 'Elohim,' which is the plural of H433 in the Strong's Concordance, especially referencing The Supreme GOD, clearly pointing to The Trinity, Father, Son & Holy Spirit of the Christian Faith, like the Hebrew Word, Echad, meaning ONE, not in the singular sense, but how Paul the Apostle explained The Body Of Christ/Messiah/The Anointed ONE, as being 'many members, but ONE Head,' JESUS! Long story short, the phrase, "Let Us," occurs 191 times, from Genesis 1:26-Revelation 19:7 (NASB 1995) "Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come and His bride has made herself ready." 

If you prayerfully and biblically consider "The Great Commission," we are called out of the world/the darkness and into HIS marvelous LIGHT, but to what end? To go back into the world (not of it), to snatch people out of the fire, not by our own might or power, but in cooperation with GOD, "Not by might, not by power, but by My (HOLY) Spirit," says The LORD.  HE promises never to leave or forsake us, to go before us, be our rear guard, coming alongside to help, to move upon, in and through us, to accomplish the works He has called us to do "In Christ Jesus." Christ in us is the Hope of Glory, manifesting His Presence, because we're in Him, just as He is in The Father and The Father in Him, ONE, according to His John 17 prayer.  

Andrew Murray's book, a commentary on Hebrews, 'The Holiest of All,' I believe is the closest thing to reading scripture itself, because he was such a man of prayer and an author of over 240 books, but Hebrews is like the Reader's Digest condensed version of Genesis- Malachi.  In a nutshell, Hebrews 4:1-2 says, "Let Us Fear," to be sure of your Faith, with reverence toward GOD.  Hebrews 4:11 states, "Let Us Labor In Our Faith." Why? Because we have works to do that JESUS prepared specifically for us, even before the foundations of this world were laid. HIS ½ Brother, James tells us that Faith without works is dead and Paul in Philippians 2:12 encourages the Church to "Work Out Your Salvation With Fear And Trembling," meaning 'to actively live out your Christian Faith with a deep sense of reverence and humility, recognizing GOD's work in you and striving to align your actions with HIS Will.' Notice he's telling us to "work out" not "work for!" In Hebrews 4:14, 23 Paul writes, while under the influence of The HOLY SPIRIT, "Let Us Hold Fast" & in verse 16, "Let Us Come Boldly Before The Throne Of Grace.  Let Us Go On In Our Spiritual Growth" in Hebrews 6:1 is telling us to get off of the babies milk and start eating solid foods, so that we will be mature believers and not mere babes.  Hebrews 10:22, 24; "Let Us Draw Near To GOD, & Let Us Consider ONE Another." We get a double whammy in Hebrews 12:1; "Let Us Lay Aside Every Sin, and Let Us Run The Race," to which Paul in 1 Corinthians 9:24 exhorts us to "Run In Such A WAY As The Get The Prize," encouraging Believers/Disciples to live their lives with purpose and dedication, striving for the ultimate prize of eternal LIFE in the Christian Faith! The "Let Us Have Grace" statement of Hebrews 12:28 can be twofold, as well, receiving The HOLY SPIRIT Of Grace and extending GOD's Grace to others, sometimes referencing HIS unmerited favor. In Hebrews chapter 13:13 we read, "Let Us Go To JESUS," which is a no brainer, because HIS NAME is the ONLY NAME under Heaven, by which we MUST Be SAVED, HE Is The ONLY WAY to The FATHER and finally in Hebrews 13:15, another double portion comes to our table, "Let Us PRAISE GOD!" Psalm 150 finishes of the Hebrew Psalter with verse 6; "Let EVERYTHING That Has Breath PRAISE The LORD.  PRAISE The LORD!" It is a call for ALL Living Beings to offer PRAISE to GOD.  Here's another, "Moses, Moses; Verily, Verily; Truly, Truly" statement, where GOD is trying to get our attention, emphasizing, magnifying what HE is trying to get across, because HE Alone Is WORTHY of ALL Glory, Honor & PRAISE! 

I'll let you go with two things.  Bruce Cockburn, one of my favorite Christian Recording Artists from Canada has a song called, "Let Us Go Laughing," with this Chorus:

And let us go laughing-o
Let us go
Let us go laughing-o
Let us go

Did you know that GOD Laughs? Finally or I should say, 'Last, but not least,' just 4 verses before 'The End' (Remember JESUS is The Beginning & The END) of The Book/BIBLE, I call you ALL to this final thought from Revelation 22:17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take the water of life without cost (NASB 1995).  Read full chapter Revelation 22:17 in all English translations 

The HOLY SPIRIT and The Bride, representing The Church are both issuing this call together, in cooperation to fulfill 'The Great Co-Mission,' emphasizing the urgency and invitation to Salvation/Yeshua/JESUS.  It's a direct call to those who are thirsty and desire the water of LIFE, so "Let Us!" If you or someone you know would like to hold a PRAYER gathering in or around New Mexico, don't hesitate to contact me.

​'Baptism By Fire!' - May 2025 NM Prayer Connect/PATH, NM/COG, NM, El Paso, TX & SWIM - South West Indian Ministries Newsletter! 

Psalm 32:8
“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.” – Psalm 32:8
Isaiah 44:3
“For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants.” – Isaiah 44

Ezekiel 36:26-27
“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.” – Ezekiel 36:26-27
From Old Covenant to the 'New & Better' Covenant, as the author of Hebrews put it, and we know that all scripture is God breathed, the Holy Spirit is not only present, but active, from Genesis to Revelation! Most believers would say that they received the Holy Spirit at their acceptance of Jesus or at their water baptism, but what does the Word Of God really say about this type of doctrinal stance, that so many churches vary in? There are upwards of 100 scripture versus in the bible, regarding the third person of the Trinity, but there are also confessing followers of Christ, who don't believe in the Triunity of God, being 3 distinct persons, in ONE Godhead, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  After all, everyone knows God says, "Hear Oh Israel, the LORD our God Is ONE God!" Not knowing that the Hebrew word 'echad,' meaning a combining of parts being of ONE nature, just like when Paul the Apostle talks about the 'Ecclesia or Ekklesia,' the called out ones, which we refer to in English, as 'The Church,' The Bride/Body Of Christ, being many members, but just ONE Head, The Man Christ Jesus, not the Pope, Pastor, Preacher, Elder, Bishop, Deacon, Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Teacher or whoever else people think is 'the head of The Church!' 

Acts 19:2
“And asked them, ‘Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?’ They answered, ‘No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.'” – Acts 19:2
Obviously the Holy Spirit was around in the creation story, hovering over the waters, but He was also existing in all of eternity past and will forever, because He Is Eternal.  There were those in the Jewish Bible, Genesis-Malichi, who not only were moved upon and led by The Spirit, but several were 'filled' with Him.  Samuel writes that the Holy Spirit came mightily upon David.  

In the Old Testament, there are scriptures that mention the Spirit of the Lord coming to people. For example, in Exodus 31:3, God fills Moses with the Spirit of God. In Judges 14:6, the Spirit of the Lord empowers Samson to tear a lion apart. Isaiah 11:2 and Ezekiel 36:27 also reference the Spirit of the Lord. Additionally, Isaiah's prophecy of the Servant of the Lord (Isaiah 42:1–9) highlights the intimate interworking of the triune God.  

 Notice this quote from Stephen, the first martyr of the early church in Acts 7: 51 “You stiff-necked people! Your hearts and ears are still uncircumcised. You are just like your ancestors: You always resist the Holy Spirit! 

Moses in the Old Covenant declared, "I wish hat you all prophesied," and Paul states in the New Covenant, "I wish that you all spoke in tongues." On the first night of the resurrection, Jesus comes into the upper room (through a locked door) and breathes on His Disciples saying, "Peace/Shalom Be With You, Receive The Holy Spirit!" Since the New Covenant only goes into effect after His death, according to Hebrews, like God The Father, gathering up the dust of the ground, He 'Breathed on the first Adam/Man" and he became a 'living soul." Jesus is the Last Adam and even after breathing on His Disciples in the upper room, before leaving this Earth, 40 days after His Resurrection, He commands the disciples to wait for the promise of The Father, The Holy Spirit, by praying for 10 days up to Pentecost Sunday, to be 'baptized with The Holy Spirit & Fire!' Since the death of Stephen, whose name means crown or martyr, many have died for their faith in Jesus, some like Jesus were crucified on a cross or what some translations of the bible call 'an execution stake,' others were burned at the stake, burned to death by the world's fire, because they were filled with 'The Fire Of God.' Ephesians tells us that by putting up our shield of Faith, we take down every fiery dart of the enemy, but The Word Of God also tells us that our God Is A Consuming Fire, a refining fire.  We're even told that we're going to go through that fire, to be purified as gold in the furnace, but like the three friends of Daniel, there will be another Man in the fire with us and we won't get burned or even smell like fire.  

The last Christian martyr burned at the stake was Walter Mylne in 1558 in Scotland. Other notable examples include Jan Hus in 14282 and John Cranmer in 15563.  

We've come a long way, since the first day of Pentecost, when 120 in the upper room were 'baptized with the Holy Spirit & Fire,' but that was not the end, it was only the beginning of what God had started in this 'New & Better' Covenant relationship of Faith! John's baptism, was a cleansing in water, a baptism of repentance, but even he declared, "He (meaning Jesus) will baptize you with the Holy Spirit & Fire!" Jesus' disciples were 'witnesses' for Him for three and a half years, but we must remember, He was still living under the Old Covenant until His Death.  God wants you and me to be filled and constantly overflowing with His Holy Spirit.  

Acts 1:4-5
“On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: ‘Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. For John baptized with water, but in a few days, you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.'” – Acts 1:4-5
Acts 1:8
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” – Acts 1:8
Acts 2:4
“All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.” – Acts 2:4
Acts 2:38
“Peter replied, ‘Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.’” – Acts 2:38
But even before Jesus went to the cross of Golgotha, He was encouraging people to ask for The Father to pour out His Holy Spirit on them:  

Luke 11:13
“If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!” – Luke 11:13
We're not talking about a trickle here and there, but a mighty rushing river.  

John 7:38-39
“Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.’ By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive.” – John 7:38-39
From 22-24 years after the death of Jesus, Paul wrote the book of Romans and stated:  

Romans 15:13
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” – Romans 15:13
Jesus is 'the anchor within the veil,' He's The Hope of Israel, The Hope of the nations, The Hope of the world and The Hope that will not disappoint us.  Paul, under the influence of the Holy Spirit, wants the God/The Father of Hope/Jesus to 'FILL' you and me with 'ALL' Holy Spirit 'JOY' and 'PEACE/SHALOM,' as you believe in, cling to, trust in and rely on Him, He's The Author & Finisher of our "FAITH." We're to 'work out our Salvation/Yeshua/Jesus, with (reverential) fear and trembling.' God's desire is that none would perish and all would come to repentance, so that we could 'OVERFLOW' with Jesus, our Living Hope. How? By The Power (Paul says that Jesus Is The Wisdom & Power Of God) Of His Holy Spirit, not just once, but to be continuously being 'FILLED' up and pouring out our lives, as a living sacrifice of Glory, Praise & Honor, to His Holy & Precious Name.  Are you 'a child of the Most High God?'

Romans 8:14
“For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.” – Romans 8:14
James 1:5
“If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” – James 1:5
Let me encourage you today, if you hear His Voice, do no harden your heart, but allow Him to Bless you, with the purchase that Jesus made for you, me, all in His Church, Let us put aside anything and everything that hinders us from moving onward and upward In Him.  Jesus prayed in John 17, that we would be ONE.  Paul says, "The Dividing walls are down," so let's live like it, red, yellow, black and white, male, female, slave and free, Catholic & Protestant, as the 'ONE New Man' of Ephesians, Jew & Gentile, "ONE In Messiah/Christ/The Anointed ONE!" We all believe in the Holy 'catholic/Universal' Church, so don't allow doctrines of men or of demons separate us from The Love Of GOD.  

1 Thessalonians 5:19
“Do not quench the Spirit.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:19
 Galatians 5:25
“Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.” – Galatians 5:25
Right now we're strategizing about 10 Days gatherings in Santa Fe (Visit https://www.10days.net ), come September 22, 2025 and 'Joining Jesus25,' in New Mexico, October 1-31, 2025 (Visit https://therooftop.org ), so please be in prayer for us and share this information with others.  We're looking to network 7 thousand intercessors in NM and 120 praying people in each county, to pray for awakening and revival to come to our state, the nation and the world + for 10%, a tithe of our population to come to Salvation from Resurrection Sunday to Pentecost next year, joining every state in America, for 1 Million souls to be Saved (See Project2026 Project 2026 Overview.pdf - Google Drive @ https://www.ProjectPray.Org ), so if you or someone you know would like to have a prayer gathering in or around NM, don't hesitate to contact me.  

Have a safe and happy World Laughter Day & Star Wars Day, May 4, Cinco de Mayo, May 5, World Red Cross Day, May 8 (It's also My 68th Natural Birthday), Mothers Day, May 11, International Nurses Day, May 12, My 43rd Spiritual Birthday, May 16, International Museum Day, May 18, International Day for Biological Diversity, May 22, Memorial Day, May 26, World No Tobacco Day, May31 and Mental Health Awareness Month (entire month of May).

​"DOMINION" April 2025 NM Prayer Connect/ PATH of New Mexico/COG, NM, El Paso, TX & SWIM - South West Indian Ministries of Manuelito, NM!

1 Peter 5:11
New American Standard Bible
11 To Him be dominion forever and ever. Amen.
IN The Beginning, Genesis 1:26-31; 5:1-2; 9:6 and again in Psalm 8:4-5, GOD gives "DOMINION" to Adam, humankind.  The BIG Question asked is, "What is man that You think of him,
And a son of man that You are concerned about him?" Man was created male and female, in 'The Image & Likeness Of GOD,' but because of the fall, Our FATHER, Who Art In HEAVEN, In HIS Infinite WISDOM & Understanding, knowing ALL things, past, present and future, had a plan to bring Salvation/Yeshua/JESUS to mankind, before the foundations of the world were laid.  HE SO LOVED The World, that HE Sent HIS ONE & Only Begotten SON to SAVE us from sin and death! HIS thoughts towards us, according to the Psalmist, 'are more than the grains of sand on the shores.' HIS Holy & Precious WORD Proclaims, 'Yet You have made him a little lower than [a] God (Psalm 8:5 LXX angels),
And You crown him with glory and majesty!' In Scripture, sometimes 'angels' are referred to, as 'messengers of GOD' or 'ministering spirits' and HE crowns us with HIS Glory (HIS Manifest Presence, where there's FULLNESS of HOLY SPIRIT JOY) and HIS Majesty.  WHAT a 'Biblical' statement and HIS WORD Is TRUTH! You and I are 'spirit beings' and a soul, in a human body, but when we are 'Born-Again,' we become 'New Creations In CHRIST/Messiah/The Anointed ONE' & ONE with HIM.  "MAJESTY" signifies GOD's Greatness, Splendor, Sovereign POWER, HIS Divine Attributes, the Awe-Inspiring Nature Of HIS Presence, Authority or Dignity.  This is not only 'Good News,' but it's GREAT NEWS! Hebrews declares that we are in a "New and Better Covenant," so let me tell you how BIG 'The FULLNESS of Redemption' is! 



2 Corinthians 1:24
New American Standard Bible
24 Not that we domineer over your faith, but we are workers with you for your joy; for in your faith you are standing firm.
JOY is The Fruit Of The HOLY SPIRIT, GOD's Gift to us, just for abiding In HIM.  JESUS Is The Author & Finisher Of our FAITH and The Shield Of FAITH, which is just part of the Armor Of GOD, takes down EVERY Firey dart of the enemy.  The HOLY SPIRIT is working upon, in and through you, for HIS Good Pleasure.  After you have done everything you can to stand, HE tells us to 'stand therefore' and we will see The GLORY Of GOD! 

Ephesians 1:21
New American Standard Bible
21 far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.  
JESUS' Name is above ALL names and the ONLY Name under Heaven, by which we MUST Be SAVED.  Because of Redemption, HE has given us and ALL Believers, Disciples, Followers of Christ, ALL POWER & Authority.  You and I are 'Ambassadors' for HIM, sent by HIM, seen as Pure, HOLY & Blameless In HIS Sight, Righteous and Just, just as if we had never sinned.  This is not just 'atonement,' but 'propitiation/expiation,' not just a cover of our sin for a year, but the complete and total taking away of it, casting it into the sea of forgetfulness, never to be brought up again! 
Jude 8
New American Standard Bible
8 Yet in the same way these people also, dreaming, defile the flesh, reject authority, and speak abusively of angelic [a] majesties.

Footnotes

1. Jude 1:8 Lit glories

The WARNING is:  "Do NOT be 'the same,' as the fallen people in the world," defiling the flesh, rejecting HIS 'ALL POWER & Authority,' that HE purchased for you and me, on The Cross of GOLGATHA/Calvary.  Accept The Gift Of GOD, JESUS, Be REDEEMED By The BLOOD/LIFE Of The LAMB, Who takes away the sins of the world, which we live in, but are not of, because we are of the Commonwealth of Israel, a Royal Priesthood, a HOLY Nation, 'True Jews, Circumcised of Heart!' JESUS PRAYED in John 17, that we would be ONE with HIM, just as HE and The FATHER Are ONE.  The CHURCH is Universal, MANY members, but only ONE Body, with ONE Head, Yeshua/Salvation/Jesus, The ONE, Who Is 'The Same, Yesterday, Today & Forever.' We 'ARE NOW,' ONE In The HOLY SPIRIT/Ghost/Breath & ONE In The LORD! 
Jude 25
New American Standard Bible
25 to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority before all time and now and [a] forever. Amen.

Footnotes

1. Jude 1:25 Lit to all the ages

John 1 declares that The WORD/JESUS, Became Flesh and 'Dwelt/Abided/Tabernacled' among us.  Paul the Apostle declares, CHRIST In YOU Is 'The HOPE Of GLORY,' The HOPE, Which Is The Anchor within The Veil,  The HOPE Of Israel, The HOPE Of The World, The HOPE Of The Nations, The HOPE that will Not Disappoint us! If we 'ARE' ONE with HIM, if HE Is our Head, Who goes before us in ALL things, Is Ever with us, even until the end of Eternity, which there is no end to, then we are in a Great GOD, The ONE TRUE GOD, our SAVIOR, JESUS, Who not only has ALL Glory, Majesty, Dominion & Authority, before ALL time and NOW and FOREVER, then we are In and the above portion of HOLY Script ends with, "AMEN," So Be It, Let It Be, which is a BIG FAT, YES In JESUS! 
Matthew 20:25
New American Standard Bible
25 But Jesus called them to Himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles domineer over them, and [a] those in high position exercise authority over them.

1. Matthew 20:25 Lit the great ones

JESUS says to HIS Disciples TODAY, "JUST AS THE FATHER HAS SENT ME, so I AM SENDING YOU!" Paul declared, "We have This Treasure, The HOLY SPIRIT, JESUS & The FATHER, In these earthen vessels." He also said that JESUS Is The WISDOM & POWER Of GOD! 'Just As,' in Hebrew, Aramaic or Greek, means 'JUST AS.' JESUS Is the Express Image Of GOD, The Radiance Of HIS Glory & The Exact Imprint of HIS Nature (Hebrews 1:3) and you and I have been made In HIS Image, according to Colossians 1:15-29; 3:10.  We're to put on the new self, created after the Likeness of GOD in true Righteousness and Holiness, according to Ephesians 4:23-24.  We carried the image of the earthly man, so we shall carry the image of the Heavenly Man, as stated in 1 Corinthians 15:49, even in Humility , Obedience, death and GOD's Exaltation of HIM, according to Philippians 2:5-11.  Romans 8:29 says you and I are being conformed to the Likeness of HIS SON and 2 Corinthians 3:18 states that we are being transformed Into HIS Likeness by The SPIRIT Of The LORD, reflecting HIS LOVE! HE's The Firstborn over ALL Creation and the First Fruits from the dead, the Blessed Assurance that we will rise again to be with HIM Forever.  ALL POWER & Authority (in ALL of the original languages that The WORD Of GOD is written in) means 'ALL.' When The FATHER looks at you and me, HE Sees JESUS, our LIFE is Hid In HIM, we are COVERED In The BLOOD/HIS Eternal, Everlasting, Abundant, Resurrection LIFE.  If we were Baptized In HIM, we have died to ourselves, are crucified with CHRIST, nevertheless we're Alive In JESUS and Living The RESURRECTION LIFE, 'Just As,' FATHER, SON & HOLY SPIRIT have been, are and will be ONE into ALL of ETERNITY, Ruling & Reigning Together with HIM, Joint Heirs with JESUS, seated in Heavenly Places NOW, yet with both feet on the ground, to shine The LIGHT and dispel the darkness + to tell others that their sins are forgiven, GOD LOVES them and HE's CALLING them out of this fallen world and Into HIS Marvelous LIGHT Of LIFE!  Peter tells us that GOD has given us EVERYTHING we need to live our Life unto HIM, HE's MORE than Enough, but we have to work out this Salvation with Reverential (HOLY) Fear and trembling, because Judgement begins at The House Of GOD, we are without excuse and we will ALL stand before The Judgement Seat Of CHRIST! The time is short, Paul and the writer of Hebrews (The HOLY SPIRIT) proclaim that we are "Living In The LAST DAYS" & John the Beloved writes in HIS Epistle that "We Are Living In The LAST HOUR," so to put things into a good 'Biblical' perspective, JESUS Is Coming Again SOON! If you or someone you know would like to have a prayer gathering in or around New Mexico, please don't hesitate to reach out to me.

THIS Is The YEAR OF JUBILEE!
Mark Tross
Subject: THIS Is The YEAR OF JUBILEE – March 2025 NM Prayer Connect/PATH – NM/COG, NM & El Paso, TX/SW Indian Ministries Newsletter!
Sisters & Brothers In Jesus, 
Leviticus 25:8 ‘You are also to count off seven Sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years, so that you have the time of the seven Sabbaths of years, that is, forty-nine years. 9 You shall then sound a ram’s horn abroad on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement you shall sound a horn all through your land. 10 So you shall consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim a release throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you, and each of you shall return to his own property, and each of you shall return to his family (NASB 1995).  
THIS year, 2025 & 5785 on the Biblical Calendar are Jubilee Years, meaning ‘Grace,’ Forgiveness, Acceptance, Presence, Enablement, Freedom and Completion! Paul the Apostle wrote, while under the influence of God’s Holy Spirit, in 1 Corinthians 13:13 But now faith, hope, and love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love (NASB 1995).  
Because GOD Is LOVE, the following scriptures confirm HIS LOVE for HIS Creation:  
John 3:16
NASB 1995 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
John 13:34NASB 1995 “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.  
Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us (NASB 1995).  
The Father demonstrated HIS LOVE, by sending JESUS to pay the penalty for our sin.  HE became sin for us, so that we could become ‘The Righteousness Of GOD In Christ!’ HE came to set the captives FREE Indeed and that’s what the year of jubilee is all about.  On March 18, 1975, the Reverend, Doctor Billy Graham spoke to the 1st Nations Peoples in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA and said, 
“When this sleeping giant awakens, the world will see the greatest revival it has ever known!” 
This year, March 28-29th, we’re calling together all Pueblo and Reservation Native Americans, those in Tribal outreach ministries and intercessors, from all nations, peoples, tribes and tongues, to come together as ONE, according to Jesus’ John 17 Prayer, to Demonstrate and Activate this Prophetic Word.  It’s the ’50th Anniversary Celebration,’ The Year Of JUBILEE and we’re believing that GOD is going to release HIS Holy Spirit upon ALL who attend this Historic Gathering.  GOD watches over HIS Word to perform It and like the Ezekiel vision of the dry bones, we’re gathering together in Unity, according to Psalm 133, so that GOD will command HIS Blessing, upon, in and through HIS original people of the land, Praying for HIM to hear from Heaven and heal our land!  Joel 2 and Acts 2 are about to come to completion, as we seek The LORD, while HE may be found.  We’re entering into a new era in church history, closer now to the 2nd coming, than when we first believed and preparing the saints for service in the kingdom of GOD, making disciples, planting churches and ushering in the SOON Return of Yeshua/Jesus/Salvation.  HE came to usher in The NEW & BETTER Covenant (SUBSCRIBE @CBNetMedia @YouTube to WATCH ‘The Voice Of ONE,’ & SEE our “NEW & BETTER Covenant SERIES”) and ascended to Heaven, so that The Promise Of The Father, HIS Holy Spirit (The Spirit Of GRACE), would be poured out on ALL flesh, ALL Nations, ALL Peoples, ALL Tribes & ALL Tongues! GOD wishes that NONE would perish, but that ALL would Come to Repentance, so like the sons of Issachar, we MUST discern the times and seasons in which we are living.  Don’t let this opportunity pass you by!  
Did you know there are only 21 Pueblo Tribes (Original People Of The Land) in America and 19 of them are here in New Mexico? The Ysleta del Sur Pueblo in El Paso, TX, came out of  the Isleta Pueblo, located just south of Albuquerque, NM, at the time of the Pueblo Revolt (known as The 1st American Revolution) in 1680 and the Hopi Pueblo people in NE Arizona are considered ‘The Ancients,’ because they are the oldest living culture in the United States and have a history that spans thousands of years! There are 575 ‘recognized’ Tribes in America, so the time is NOW, to invite every Pueblo/Reservation person you know, those involved in 1st Nations ministries and intercessors, across the nation and around the world, to join in on this Jubilee Year Celebration.  Register today @ https://www.christianbody.net/giant and PRAY that the world will see the greatest awakening and revival it has ever known! If you or someone you know would like to hold a prayer meeting in or around NM, don’t hesitate to contact me.  
THANKS & BLESSINGS with SHALOM,

​Subject: "The Time Is Short!" February 2025 NM Prayer Connect/Prayer At The Heart Of New Mexico/COG, NM & El Paso, TX + SW Indian Ministries Newsletter! 

Romans 13:11 Do this, knowing that this is a critical time. It is already the hour for you to awaken from your sleep [of spiritual complacency]; for our salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed [in Christ]. 12 The night [this present evil age] is almost gone and the day [of Christ’s return] is almost here. So let us fling away the works of darkness and put on the [full] armor of light. 13 Let us conduct ourselves properly and honorably as in the [light of] day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and irresponsibility, not in quarreling and jealousy. 14 But clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for [nor even think about gratifying] the flesh in regard to its improper desires (AMP).  

As we approach February, the shortest month of the year and as some would call it, 'The Month Of LOVE,' may we reflect on where we have come from and exactly where God wants us to go.  After all, He so loved the world that He sent His One & Only Begotten Son to save us, but how is the world going to know that if we don't tell them and not only that, but like Jesus, show them The Way to The Father.  We're not wrestling against flesh and blood, but against the powers and principalities in high places, which is why we have to put on the full armor of God! 

Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was thrown down, the age-old serpent who is called the [a]devil and Satan, he who continually deceives and seduces the entire inhabited world; he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him (AMP).  

The age-old serpent took Adam & Eve down in the garden of Eden and ever since, all of creation is groaning for the fullness of redemption and for the sons of God to be revealed.  That's you and me, we are the light of the world, according to Jesus and we are commanded to let our light so shine! Light dispels the darkness and thank God, America has been given an open window of opportunity, an open Heaven, to not only do that in our country, but to take this good news to all nations, peoples, tribes and tongues.  The great commission is for every member, within the body of Christ, to do their part, so we all come into the fullness of God.  Red, yellow, black or white, male or female, young or old, married or single.  

1 Corinthians 7:28 But if you do marry, you have not sinned [in doing so]; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned [in doing so]. Yet those [who marry] will have troubles (special challenges) in this life, and I am trying to spare you that. 29 But I say this, believers: the [a]time has been shortened, so that from now on even those who have wives should be as though they did not; 30 and those who weep, as though they did not weep; and those who rejoice, as though they did not rejoice; and those who buy, as though they did not possess [anything] (AMP); 

The sons of Issachar were able to discern the very times and seasons they were living in, so how much more so should we? We're over 2,000 years beyond the cross and Pentecost of Acts 2.  What is the Holy Spirit of God saying to the Church today? Remember, the Word Of God says, "Today, if you hear His Voice, harden not your heart!" Do you have ears to hear? Know ye not that you are the temple of the Living God? We have a big job to do and people's eternal souls are being weighed in the balance, the enemy is roaming around like a lion, looking for whom he may devour.  This is not a game and the clock is ticking.  There are many, many, going the way of destruction and there are many unreached people groups in the world, who have still not heard the Name of Jesus, the only Name under Heaven, by which we must be saved! 

Matthew 24:22 And if those days [of tribulation] had not been cut short, no human life would be saved; but for the sake of the elect (God’s chosen ones) those days will be shortened (AMP).  

According to Job 14:5 "Our time on earth is brief," other portions of Holy Scripture say, 'Our life is but a breath' and "All the nations of the earth are as a drop of water in the ocean" (to God), but this is no small task for the church to accomplish and it's not to be taken lightly by us! Our house should be a house of prayer for all nations, not just a house of preaching and teaching.  We need God's vision, God's blueprint and God's Holy Spirit anointing to get this job done, so let's seek the LORD, while He may be found, because "The Time Is Short!"

Footnotes

1. 1 Corinthians 7:29 Paul may be referring to the appointed time of the return of Christ, or he may have been focusing on the briefness of human life, or both of these.  

If you or someone you know would like to hold a prayer gathering in or around our state, please don't hesitate to contact me!

Thanks & Blessing with Shalom,
Mark Tross
