Report from Debbie A.: Destiny Revealed

Dear Friends,

Receive your sight!

The desire is there, but how can if be?  It is like trying to look at the sun but it is too much to take in; trying to look with the physical eye is overwhelming!    Yet, I want to see through this door; the Son.

I wonder if that’s why we can’t look into the face of God, it’s just too bright, just like the sun.  But I hear myself asking, “Please give me those eyes like an eagle that have the ability to look directly into the sun to see you, Lord!”
Then I turn to Revelations 3:18b which says, “Anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. “
John 3:3 – Receive your sight.  Jesus declared,  “I tell you the truth, no one can see the Kingdom of God unless they are born again.”

I believe many have received their sight to see the Kingdom of God with new eyes.

We were invited to The Rock Church last week for a Destiny Conference with Pastor Deane and Becky Wagner in Waterford, Ohio.  We (Nancy, Sarah, Liz & myself)  arrived to thunder and lightning as if God put on a  light show that led us to Ute’s home in Athens.  This is the TIME OF THE KING.  It is His year so we weren’t surprised to be greeted with a heavenly light show to welcome us in.

Colossians 3:1-4 –  Since, then you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on the things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.  Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.  For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.

Now imagine with me a magnificent door.  It’s grand.  It’s big.  It’s the most amazing door you have ever set your eyes on. And you long to go through.

Revelations 4 :1 –The heavenly door is open …  It’s life to be enjoyed every day!  Come!  My presence is waiting –
Love, God.

Wait a minute.   You hear words coming from behind  this door;  and you begin to see “destiny” with new eyes and a heart to understand as you hear voices saying;

Holy,  Holy,  Holy Is
The Lord Almighty.
Who was, and is, and
Is to come…
Now unto him who is
Able to keep me from
stumbling.  And to
present me faultless
before the Presence of His
glory with exceeding
JOY –
To God my savior
Who Alone is wise,
Be glory and Majesty
Dominion and
Power – both
NOW
And forevermore –

This is the only way through this door, Jesus Christ: It’s basic.  It is simply all about Him.  That is the alignment.  The shift that has happened.

Hebrews 12:25 – 27 – See to it that you do not refuse Him who speaks.  If they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from Him who warns us from heaven?  At that time His voice shook the earth, but now He has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.”  The words “ once more” indicate the removing of what can be shaken – that is, created things – so that what cannot be shaken may remain.  Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fie.”

The door is open to step into the alliance with God and His kingdom.  Aligning to know strategy and hear what you are battling for, and that it should ONLY be the Kingdom of God.  To be willing to form alliances with people you never have considered before; And realize God is providing opportunities for the most unusual alliances.   The new sound is coming, even from the children.  Birthing a sound of the Kingdom of God and the sound of heaven coming to earth.
No more just looking like a Christian.

Time is running short and you have a  Destiny in God.   It’s a Heavenly view of the highest level of development, a state of the art or,  state of the heart, and  you are one choice away from your destiny.   There is a disciple in each of us and the fields are white for harvest – we are the workers!  He desires you to see His people – His servants, shine with His glory.  Ones who perhaps seem the least likely, according to the world, yet will walk in a place of authority that changes the atmosphere,  because of Jesus.

You are a citizen of Heaven and the Father desires you:

To Pray with a new in-sight from heaven.
To Praise Him for who He Is not just what He’s done.
To Prophesy what we hear behind this door – what you hear from His Word.

Ephesians 5;15 – ( NKJV) SEE then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise. Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
(NIV) – Be very careful then how you live not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.

He desires you to come to receive what you didn’t even know was attainable.  To set your affections on the house of your God.  A unity that says, “let not your heart be troubled but instead “BE OVERCOME BY HIM.”  He desires to reveal mysteries and secrets for you to know He is the stability of today.  He is our solution in every circumstance.  That our covenant with Him is an alliance with the Father.

Yes, there has been a shift  – a place of decision for all of us.  It’s getting back to basics.  Your ancestry will reveal your  inheritance.  An ancestry that all leads back to who you are – the family tree,  The  Tree of Life – Jesus… your destiny.

May the God of hope lead you back to the garden where you will find your Destiny and the Tree of Life!

Report from Liz: Waterford, OH Conference

Waterford, OH;6/14;NancyPoint to Hope Ministry
Waterford, Ohio June 2014

On Tuesday June 23, 2014, I left my home in Alaska with great anticipation. I flew to Columbus, Ohio to rendezvous with my other team members. Nancy Haney and Sarah Tarter flew in and switched gears from book writing to answer God’s call. They had come to Ohio to minister in a Days of Destiny Conference at The Rock Church in Waterford, Ohio.  Debbie Anderes also flew in for the conference and was greeted with hugs. It was a wonderful reunion.
We then embarked on a final two hour drive to Ute Looney’s home in Athens (Ohio). Once there, Ute and Russ Looney welcomed us into their home.  We stayed with them Tuesday and Wednesday night. Their home is in the country and was very relaxing.  We had coffee and communion in the morning, watched deer in the evening, and our nights were filled with fireflies. Needless to say, we felt rejuvenated after our stay. The beauty of God’s creation was all around us.
On Thursday morning we left for the evening service at The Rock Church in nearby Waterford.  Upon arriving at the church we were graciously received by Pastor Deane and Becky Wagner.  It was wonderful to see old friends and greet new ones.  Nancy and Point to Hope have ministered in this church before, so it felt like coming home.
We had such a sense of the impossible being made possible. It was awe inspiring to realize we were a part of a great number of people called to intercede, pray, and minister God’s purpose for the body of believers in our gathering. In the first meeting we sang “Every stronghold will be broken!”  This was our heart’s prayer in anticipation of what God would do.  Several children were enthusiastically worshiping the Lord in song.  It was beautiful to see.
Nancy was well received and shared her personal testimony of how God carried her through many difficult challenges in the past two years. She spoke about a near death experience, her husband’s battle with cancer, and emphasized that we are all but one choice away from our destiny. She said we are to hang onto our faith and stand by God no matter the tribulation. It was a message about getting back to the basics of praying, reading God’s word, and loving others into the Kingdom. Essentially, it was about hearing the sound of the Lord and taking action.
Sarah sang and shared a beautiful testimony of how God brought her through a life and death struggle.
On Saturday morning we focused on the gift of prophecy. Each person had a word of prophecy given to them by the Point to Hope Team.  This was a confidence building exercise for our team and Nancy helped guide us. Many people were blessed, encouraged, and touched by this event. They began to see God as the solution to their troubles rather than the cause of their pain.
The conference ended on Saturday night with Nancy explaining how each of us has unique roles in God’s kingdom. Some of us plant, some water, and others sow. In working together, we advance the Kingdom of God.
I want to thank everyone for their faithful prayers. Your support helped make all of this possible. It feels wonderful to be part of something so transformational. The next PTH event will be the Ketchikan conference (9/25-27/2014). Please continue to pray for us. May you all be blessed!

Watch the Back Door!

wolf in sheep

June 20, 2014
Dear Intercessors,

Have you ever tried to stand up in a boat during a storm ?  Or better yet, have you ever tried to stand up in your storming circumstance?  Standing up on the inside with strength and faith is possible because God is still on the throne and everything is under control.

Do you wonder if this is what Nancy might have meant by Shift , sift or drift?  We have been in one place or another and now things are shifting.  In that shift we have to believe that God is still on the throne no matter how calm or severe the storm.

Isaiah 50:23b  Because those who hope in ME will not be disappointed.
John 14:1  & 29  So do not let your heart be troubled,
Trust in God.  Do not let your heart be troubled and do not be afraid.
Isaiah 55:12 . For you shall go out with joy, and be led out in peace.

I had a dream recently that warned me to “WATCH THE BACK DOOR!”
I pondered what that could indicate and two things came to mind:   It was the year of doors, and it was phrase, “Back door friends are best.”  I began asking God to show me what this could mean.  It was a warning to be very watchful and especially, those or those things coming through the back door of your life.  Those things,  or people that seem safe, familiar and comfortable.  Yield everything to God.  Everything!   Don’t be taken off guard!

There is a door opening for the Great Harvest.  You can hear it from the turbulence and friction in the earth today.   There is a Sound.  It is the Sound of the Lord.  We will begin seeing the evidence more and more.  It is a shift, the sifting, and subtly drifting away.

Isaiah  26:20  Go, My people, enter your rooms and shut the doors behind you.  Hide yourselves for a little while until His wrath has passed by.

Have you ever thought about God’s Glory burning?  I’m convinced that whenever we choose to do right in those hard situations, it seems painful at the time, and can often be lonely as if few, or less than are doing what is the right.

God’s Glory.  It burns!

It burns flesh off, destroys little foxes and truly tests attitudes and thoughts of the heart.  It causes a shift in our minds and hearts and opens our eyes to see how we are or are not aligning with God’s thoughts and heart.   It Burns!  Whatever is left?  That’s what is real.  It’s what is lasting; Eternal!  It’s what shines bright in the dark and it ends up changing everything in our path.   What are we left with? A pile of ash or a blinding brightness.  The brightness of His Glory begins to activate a drawing hunger that is contagious and reveals pure un-adulterated glory.

Yes, the Glory burns but suddenly it burns good and the price to be able to walk in it is worth everything.  It may seem like it takes too long at times, but it is worth the “wait” in gold!

The Lord gives us many warnings, but a couple I feel to mention are those who might be like those “friends” who come to the back door.  His Word is pretty clear about naming some things we need to watch for:  false prophets showing up in sheep’s clothing but they are really wolves … ferocious wolves!
Matthew 7:15  warns to Watch out for false prophets.  They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.
However, by their fruit we will recognize them!

God tells us in Matthew 10:16  – I am sending you out like sheep among wolves.  Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.

We need to be watchful, Amen!

Something Dwight Moody once said,
“When I was a young Christian I thought that God kept His gifts on shelves and the best gifts were on the highest shelves and I would have to reach up.  I learned later the best gifts are on the lowest shelf and I had to stoop down.”

Let us never forget, we are really preparing for our heavenly home.   We don’t miss what He is doing in this hour.  Even the disciples, while walking with Jesus, had a few issues.  At times they thought it was all about them and this world; Concerned with who would be the greatest.

We are in the world but not of the world.  We live in  a Kingdom of eternal  excellence and Joy of many generations.  Our Lord is our  everlasting Light.  Yes, we rejoice in this Hope of the Glory of God!    God is our glory.

IT IS TIME FOR THE KING;  HE ALONE IS ON THE THRONE!  Amen!

Catching up with Nancy this week, I got a good report that she is stronger, healthier and excited with all the Lord is encouraging both Sarah and her.  The book is certainly a learning process and they so covet your prayers to put in written form what the Spirit is revealing.

Also, please keep in prayer the upcoming conference (June 26-29th) at The Rock Church, 19025 State Route 339 Waterford, OH 45786.  Nancy, Sarah, Liz, and myself (Debbie A.) will be flying out next Monday.  We will connect with Ute and others PTH friends in Ohio.

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.

PTH Assistant Director, Ketchikan

Resilient Love


(“The Way” by Robert Bartow)

Dear Friends,

About a year or so ago, I had the opportunity to attend a seminar at the University of Alaska.  As is true in many professions, a certain number of college credits are required to maintain a valid certification.  I say “opportunity” when it really comes down to “choice” if I want to get a step closer to my destiny.   Thus, in order to move up a step, I had to select a class to take.  In my effort to ease the pain of giving up a week-end to sit through a seminar, I thought it would help if the topic was at least somewhat inviting.   So, I selected a class called  “Resiliency: Overcoming Adversity.”  

Part of the seminar included a panel of guest speakers.  One of the speakers had made national news – even coverage on one of the specials news programs of 20/20 or 60 Minutes (can’t remember which).  Marko Cheseto, an All-American runner who had disappeared for two days in the harsh winter chill of November 2011.  There is much more to the story, but as a result, both of his feet had to be amputated due to frostbite.  Needless to say, I couldn’t wait to hear his story… “his testimony.”  After all, having been burned, I was sure I could related to his adversities even though I was on the opposing end of the thermometer.

What was most shocking to me in the story of Marko Cheseto, was that becoming a double amputee and as a runner had been the least of his resilient life!  I was wrong in my anticipation as I waited for him to speak regarding what his “adversity” might be!   He was an amazing man!  One of the most profound things he said was when you overcome one thing, there will always be something new to overcome… it is called “life”.  In the personal stories – “testimonies” –  he shared about resiliency and overcoming adversity, the step of losing his legs as a runner was “low on the staircase” so to speak, as he had already overcome far worse in his young life.

Though Marko’s message was presented to a diverse group of people from all walks of life and beliefs, to me, I heard the spiritual symbolism of life.

Steps!  One at a time, on our knees as a symbol of prayer – a language of love to communicate with our most intimate God!  We are all on the same staircase; each one of us bearing the weight of what God has asked us to carry … some are simply carrying the “wait” and that at times may seem to heavy.  STILL, love compels us to climb yet one step higher.  

I don’t know where you are today on your staircase, but I want to thank you on behalf of Point To Hope Ministries.  Your prayer coverage is so vital to this ministry!  It is the prayers of God’s people – His intercessors that keeps us moving up the staircase, what ever the assignment, one step at a time.  We are praying for you as well … we are ONE family – ONE Body.  

As many of you know, this past spring has been a particularly rough step for Nancy’s health.  She continues to climb each step and the Lord is faithful to sustain and strengthen her with each new day!  Thank you for your continued prayers for her.  Yet, I know of so many that are on challenging steps too!  Those in need of physical healing, medical answers or directions, family crisis, financial burdens, etc.  Sometimes, just simply maintaining the step one is on holds enough trial itself, let alone moving to the next step.  But HE IS FAITHFUL!

What ever step we are on, this is always true for those who believe and whose trust is in the Lord:  We are triumphant – Resilient! … by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony! (Rev. 12:11).

I want to leave you with an awesome word Debbie Anderes send.  It is encouraging and powerful and I know you will enjoy it!  

Blessings to All!

Sincerely,
Sarah Tarter,
PTH Prayer Facilitator

———————————-

Pictures are worth a thousand words to me!
I approach this picture with a childlike wonder…  Come along with me.

As I sat and studied this picture, I remembered you (Nancy) telling me a story of how you, and Sarah I believe, had climbed on your knees what is believed to be the original marbled steps Jesus climbed leading to his trial.  At the time, you wondered how you did it as you were not in the best of health at the time, but you did it!

I know there is much more to that story but as I look at these steps it is such a picture of our lives. It’s uneven, it’s hard ground, you wonder how in the world you could make it to the top because most of the climb is without hand rails. It takes focus, balance, determination, risk of falling and courage to finish.

What in the world gets you to do something like this?  What could possibly drive anyone to do such a thing?  LOVE.  Love  so deep so wide so complete that just a taste is enough. It causes you to take every chance, every risk to have more. It’s promised for you to have all you can possibly desire but the only way is on your knees.

Eph 2:20 You are built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone!
Gal 2:20 for you have been ( you are a have-been) crucified with Christ, you longer live, for Christ lives in you.

Why do some not  get past the first steps? The secret is Love!  Is it not the enemy’s job to steal, kill, and destroy? (John 10:10)  One of the things the enemy tries to steal, kill, and / or destroy is our Love of Him.  
That’s the very thing he is after.  Love of Him, Jesus Christ!
This is the battleground.  Where love will grow cold – Sufferings, trials, even blessings keep us distracted – keep us from the next step.  It’s too hard!  It takes too much discipline!  It’s not comfortable!  Focusing on the hard step in front of us instead of anticipating reaching the top.

The warning? Watch this! Your love of Him. Love is the way to us keep going up. Stand your ground in Him;  Union and alliance with the Father. He will show you which steps to be more careful with and which ones are safe to pause and rest for a time.  There are many resting places on the way to Father’s house!  We will literally be walking with God. We have everything we need, in Him. Suffering even turns to bless us,  not because we must suffer but because we are willing!  God is our Righteous Champion Defender. He will get us there.  He is our strength!

The secret – just Love Him! Passionately. It empowers to obey. Each step reveals more wisdom to know more of the heart of God that overwhelms our hearts of this love and overcomes to step again.

Enter into the enjoyment of God – the delight in the fear of The Lord.  Enjoy Him.
Taste and see that The Lord is good.

The higher you are –
The farther you see.

Blessed are You, Lord God of Israel, our Father, forever and ever.  
Yours, Oh Lord, IS The greatness
The power and The Glory, The Victory and The Majesty
For all that is in heaven and in the earth is Yours;
Yours IS The Kingdom, Oh Lord
And You are exalted as head over all.
Both riches and honor come from You, and You reign over all.
In Your hand is Power and Might, In Your hand it is to make great and to give strength to all…
1 chronicles 29:10-13

My prayer in this time is, heaven will be open, like a stairway resting on earth – right where you are – with its top reaching to heaven and angels of God ascending and descending bringing you divine holy encounters and revelation.

Today you will be successful as you position yourself for Him.  Do it for love!

Standing in Awe

Another voice making a
Sound from Southeast Alaska

Assistant Director for Southeast Alaska. 
Our next PTH conference will be in Ketchikan, AK, September 25, 26, and
27, 2014.  Put it on your calendar.


ALASKA AND THE ANCHORAGE CONFERENCE:   GOD REVEALING
HIMSELF!

A year to Shift or Drift.

Shift then Sift.

What was, isn’t
anymore.

These are strong words,
but how the Anchorage Conference spoke to me this year. 

Have you ever wondered why
it feels like the earth seems to be shifting right under your feet?  Time
seems faster than you can keep up with, and circumstances are pressing in
causing something new to rise up inside?

 “What’s happening?”

Well, God is shaking things
up and it is time. 

It’s time to pause, to
breathe and to Listen to the Sound. 

The title of this
year’s Conference is  “THE SOUND OF THE LORD …  LISTEN “

God tells us he is the stability of today.  He is
the way.  The only way! … To remember 
the message of the cross, the power of God.

The power of God’s love is
reaching out to us who believe, to let nothing
divide us from knowing this, for our own sake!

It is a requirement for
those who have been given a trust and that trust must prove
faithful. 

There is a door standing
open in heaven.  It is not a natural door and He is calling us to come up to
where He is and to think out of heaven to show us things that must take
place.  To declare a thing and it will be established.  To be still
and stand Amazed by God.  

HIGHER ELEVATION 

When going up to a higher
elevation a different breathing is required.  Sometimes it can actually
make you light headed, dizzy or even sick to your stomach, like car
sickness.  All you can do is lie down and rest until you catch that new
balance of being at a higher elevation.  This is what is happening in the
Spirit right now; going to a higher elevation.  It really takes an
adjustment as well as an understanding of how to breathe differently. 

The Holy Spirit is
speaking to encourage us to go back to the basics.  To
allow Him to shift what’s been out of alignment with Him, to convince or
convict us to BELIEVE.  It’s basic!

Romans 8:14   For as
many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 

This is a season of
convergence.  Things that have been ordained by God are coming together.  His
Word comes together with His purposes in His set times.  A time when we
need to set a watch and guard our hearts. 

Proverbs 4:23   Keep
your heart with all diligence for out of it spring the issues of life.
 

Psalms 51:10   Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew
a steadfast spirit within me!

·        
Hidden things you
have not been aware of will be revealed.  Isaiah 48:6

·        
The Lord is
aligning us with victory.  Victory mindsets by the Spirit of God.

·        
Supernatural
provision, healing and abundance not yet known to us, to those who line up to
the Word.  Luke 6:38

·        
A time of
acceleration, so we need to really pay attention. Picture driving a car in the
fast lane going very, very fast.  You cannot NOT pay attention.  Sometimes
you can’t even talk much driving here.  Stay
focused like never before, on HIM.

We must hear the voice of
the Lord for ourselves.  Hear the sound of HIM.   Know the
Word.  Not in your head, but in your heart!!!!! I hear Him say, “Align
yourself to Me, the living Word of God.”  Test everything!

And if we do these things,
buckle up, because our Lord is going to put His foot on the pedal and you are
in the car!  You will run and not grow weary.  You can fly high and
walk low.  You can be stepped on, ignored, and still rejoice and be glad
for His great purpose will be confirmed in you.  You won’t fear, because
fear is one without faith. 

Matthew 17:7   When
they looked up they saw no one except Jesus!
 

Main point: See no one but
Jesus in every situation.  Your life will live complete, but don’t look
away!  In every circumstance see Jesus!  The enemy will try his darnedest
to get your eyes off of Jesus.  Good things, as well as great challenges
and traumas, will try and capture your attention.  Whatever… 

Be still. 

Stand and be Amazed by
God.    You will simply be in Awe!

Listen to the Sound of
the Lord

              By
Dee Jones
 

There is a voice that
speaks to the darkness

    
But the darkness cannot comprehend

     
Ahhh but a Word spoken in oneness

        
Created life and light of all men

 

Do you hear the distant
rolling thunder?

     
Draw near to the sound of the Lord

             
The voices echo from Heaven

                      
Holy, Holy is the Lord


      
There is a sound that comes to call us

        
A sound that you just can’t ignore

        
There’s a wind that rages to stir us

       
We’re in a position like never before


      
Listen to the wind of movement

      
Move with the sound of the Lord

          
The voices echo from Heaven

                  
Holy, Holy is the Lord


          
You will walk the narrow and steady

             
It’s a time when signs shall appear

         
In an instant you are called to be ready

                
For a time such as this, is here


Do you hear the distant
rolling thunder?

      
Draw near to the sound of the Lord

              
The voices echo from Heaven

                       
Holy, Holy is the Lord

 

                       
Holy, Holy is the Lord

                       
Holy, Holy is the Lord

 

  (unison of
whispers)  Holy, Holy is the Lord!

North Georgia Ministry 2014

Greetings!

The message that Nancy and Point to Hope Ministries is bringing in this hour is a word of power that must be received, pondered, and embraced.  The message is “Listen to the Sound…” with a new definition of Listen:  Prayer, Praise and Prophecy have come into a new dimension for many.

A favorite statement of Nancy’s is “I am one choice away from my destiny.”  Many are leaving the meetings with the light of the Lord on their faces, and countenances changed with restoration, renewal and hope.  They are being reinforced in their faith.  The reports are that new alliances are being made and old ones strengthened as Nancy ministers throughout the North Georgia area.

Nancy is ministering hope and power to many people. 
–  Many pastors are traveling long distances to hear the message.  Their responses have been oohing, awing and much repentance.  Many invitations to new churches have come from these meetings.
–  This word of the Lord has brought major transformation in all who are hearing it, especially the men.  This is a message of absolute restoration of hope, and many are being revived.  One young man said his life will never be the same.
–  Several people testified about how they had been ministered to during Nancy’s last visit.  A young woman followed Nancy out of a meeting to tell her how the word she had been given last year carried her through the year.  Whenever she was having a hard time and thinking of giving up, she thought of that word and it kept her on track. 
–  Nancy ministered peace and joy to a young woman who lost her husband only 3 weeks before.  She had come into the meeting with death on her face and left with hope, with the evidence of a testimony and a changed countenance.  Another woman who lost her husband a year ago was encouraged and left with a bright face.
–  One woman left a meeting with the message of our inheritance on her mind and heart.  She pondered and researched and listened to the Lord as He took it deeper into her heart.  Then the next night she came forward, out of her comfort zone, to testify about what the Lord was teaching her. 

Timely words have been delivered to many to bring encouragement and help them continue the journey.

If you remember, in January Becky Heinsley of Georgia had several severe strokes.  Becky has been involved in helping and supporting PTH in the North Georgia area.  We visited her a second time this week and saw significant improvement as we prayed with her and sang songs of praise.  God is working to heal and restore her and we give thanks and praise.

So many of you have been praying, encouraging, and supporting us during this ministry, and we want you to know that we are full of thanksgiving.  We declare that we sense the prayers of protection and the prayers of an open heaven in every meeting. 

Many positive words have been coming out of these meetings.  But one word has come in the midnight hour from Ohio which is for Nancy to “watch her steps.”  We have gone into the enemy’s camps and have taken back what the enemy has stolen.  Please keep Nancy in prayer that God will continue to order her footsteps.  Thank you for your prayers!  They are effective!  Please continue to intercede, as we still have one more week of ministry.

Specific prayer targets for the team (Nancy, Debbie Grimes, Lillian Garrett, and Karen Lequire): 
– Strength to sustain us, not letting down as the end approaches, but finishing stronger than we began.
– Power from the Holy Spirit to minister effectively.
– Health
– Safety and protection
– That our families will be covered.
– And above all, safe traveling mercies and prayer coverage as we travel back home and acclimate back into our homes and responsibilities.

Without your prayers this ministry would not be able to accomplish the plans of the Lord.  Thank you for your faithfulness and joining in this work of the Lord.

Love and blessings,
Nancy and the Georgia Team

PTH: Weather …

Jan. 27, 2014

Dear Intercessors,

Just a quick heads-up!  Nancy said the forecast is showing severe weather (Tuesday and Wednesday) in areas they, and others will be traveling.  The meetings are “still on” but your prayers will be greatly appreciated for safety and protection on the roads for all.

Also, I just received a note regarding Becky.  She is home now,  but has a road to recovery ahead of her.  Please pray for God’s mercy, grace, supernatural strength, and accelerated healing to her whole being.  If you recall, Becky had a stroke several weeks ago. 

The ministry is going extremely well!  Extremely well is not very descriptive, but God is doing awesome things in individual lives!  Glory to God!  Thank you for your continued prayers over PTH.  Please continue to pray for Nancy, Ute, Rose, Mary D, Valeria, Ken & Diane, Lorraine, Lillian, and the many other servants / intercessors / helping hands who are so faithful to help PTH function effectively.  Those are the ones currently on location. Please be gracious if there be any I’ve missed ….

Some of the workshops are now on the website, as well as Nancy’s Thursday and Saturday night message from the recent PTH Conference.  www.pointtohope.org – click on the “PTH Audio Blog”.  The PTH ministry schedule is also up-to-date under “events”.

Blessings to All,

Sarah Tarter,
PTH Prayer Facilitator

Checking In

I just wanted to give you an update on the ministry in Georgia so far.  Ministry to victims of rape, physical and mental impairments and illnesses, financial lack, employment issues, relationship issues, church issues, spiritual disappointments, and lack thereof… Partnering with the laborers for the Kingdom of God in this area has been hugely successful.  The messages I have had the opportunity to share have been well RECEIVED!  Everyone is trying to listen to the sound and taking their passion for God seriously.  Yes, God wants our dedication and passion!

Evelyn Glass’s eldest brother went to be with the Lord (unexpectedly) this past week, and Evelyn is with her family now, ministering to them.  Her brother and family all love the Lord!  Please join me in continuing to pray for the family and especially Evelyn in this time of loss.

Also our assistant director for PTH in northern Georgia, Becky Heinsley, had 2 severe strokes the first part of this week.  She didn’t open her eyes for 4 days, but she is now responding and knew me when I prayed for her.  We conveyed “I love you” and clearly understood each other!  Please keep Becky lifted up as there is still much swelling in her brain, so they have not been able to assess the damage thus far.  I am praying and thanking the Lord.  God will heal her as he has so many of us!  Amen!

We will be heading into conference time beginning next Wednesday.  All our leaders and speakers are getting ready to head this way.  Please be lifting them up, as well as their families, traveling mercies, and the purposes and successes for the ministry God has called us to!  I think the only problem we are going to have at this conference is Room; good problem I think… Praise the Lord!

The ministry thus far has been well paced and has allowed me to continue in my full recovery from this winter’s illness!  I’m doing very well and every day I’m stronger and stronger!  I attribute it to your faithful prayers and all to the Glory of God!  Thank you so much.  Please know you are tucked in my heart and I’m lifting you up in my prayers daily.

God bless and keep safe.

Love ya, Nancy

Prayer: PTH Conference, Evelyn, & Becky

Praise the Lord, all his heavenly hosts, you his servants who do his will. (Ps. 103:21)

Praise the Lord, all His works everywhere in His dominion. Praise the Lord, my soul. (Ps. 103:22)

Praise the Lord, all you nations; extol Him, all you peoples. (Ps. 117:1)

Praise the Lord, all you servants of the Lord who minister by night in the house of the Lord. (Ps. 134:1)

I will praise the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live. (Ps. 146:2)

And again, “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles; let all the peoples extol Him.” (Ro. 15:11)

“…because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” (Phil. 1:5-7).

Dear PTH Friends,

In good times and hard times, “… it is fitting to praise Him!” (Ps. 147:1b). 

Early this morning, Evelyn received word that her older brother passed away.  Please keep Evelyn and her family / extended family in prayer.    Evelyn, Lewis and their family are incredible God-fearing people who love and trust the Lord in all things.  Pray for peace and God’s anointing as they walk through their loss and the process of making arrangements.  Evelyn is the PTH Worship Leader and dear friend of PTH!

Also, continue to pray for Becky Heinsley’s divine healing.  A few days ago, an e-mail went out on her behalf.  She had 2 strokes and remains in the hospital with minimal improvement … but God!  Becky is also a very dear friend to PTH and many!

Next week is the first PTH Holy Spirit Encounter Conference of 2014, in Grovetown, Georgia.    Keep Nancy and PTH team in prayer as they are currently ministering in the Georgia / S.Carolina area.  Check the website for details:

Urgent Prayer Request

We just learned that Becky Heinsley was taken to the Emergency Room this morning.  She apparently was unresponsive.  Please be praying for her as God ministers healing to her and peace to her family.  

Becky works closely with Lillian Garrett as the assistant directors for North Georgia.  She is also an important intercessor as we soon begin the PTH conference in Georgia.  
Thank you for your faithful prayers.
