Thank You Loyal Readers

What an amazing few months in the Lord. I feel the need to apologies again for how long it has been since I posted a confession or a new blog. I have posted a new confession recently and felt a burden to greet some of you today.

I want to thank all of you who visit us regularly:
  • USA
  • Canada
  • Russia
  • Congo
  • India
  • Japan
  • UK

From drawing us deeper into His faithfulness, to accelerating our growth in the Spirit He is not about to let us stay where we were or let us go back to where we had been. As many of you know, who walk closely to the Lord, this is a process of Love, Mercy, Discipline, a call to unequivocal Obedience, and Repentance.

I pray that I would be able to start writing to you more about this soon, as the Lord would lead.

Until then I encourage you to send me your confessions, but don't stop there. Allow the Lord to do the deep work in your heart and bring you, from that confession, to a place of true repentance; where you never return to your sin again. Jesus tells the young woman caught in adultery after all who wanted to stone her left; "Go and sin no more." That is more than simply receiving your forgiveness and returning to your old ways. It is a change of heart and mind and a breaking of agreement with the strongholds that had bound you to that sin. It is a conscience and deliberate decision to allow the Lord to change you into a person that does not want that sinful way any longer.

Keep watching as we begin to expound on this and continue our "The Sermon" series. I look forward to this summer and what the Lord has for all of us.

God bless and again thank you all.

Rev. Brad Buscher

Confession of Provision

In this time of great need and sorrow in this country it is easy to forget that God is the provider. This fall was very hard and heading into this last holiday season with what looked like the greatest lack I have ever experienced in my life. The Lord was allowing me to walk in a very uncomfortable place. I wish I could say that is all behind me now, but that is difficult to do in light of the circumstances.

Now it is February and most of my bills from January are paid except one, the mortgage. Today the battle field of my mind has not been pretty. So, I decided to make an offensive strike instead of playing defense all the time. This post is to prove to my soul that the Lord is my provider and has provided for me longer than I know.

First know that I have not had regular employment for almost a year now and somehow the Lord has still provided:
  • Grocery Money
  • Mortgage Payments
  • Gas Bills
  • Phone Bills
  • Electric Bills
  • Fuel for the car
  • Offerings
  • Mission trip money
  • Restaurant outings
  • New clothing
  • Vehicle repair money
  • A trip to see family
  • Work
  • Love
  • Friendship
  • Health
  • Encouragement
  • Discipline
  • Learning
  • Pet medication
  • Understanding
  • Faith
  • Entertainment
  • Bumper crop of tomatoes
  • Rain, Snow
  • Air to breath
  • Water to drink

The Lord is surely the provider He says He is. He has not brought me this far to let me die out in the wilderness. He will see me through to the very end. This is my confession of the provision of the Lord.
