ELEVATION NORTH has NEWS for YOU!

CAN YOU SEE THEM?  THE FINGERPRINTS OF GOD?  They are all over this earth, more than ever before … if you will just look!  Actually, how can anyone not see that God is writing His story in these days?  His perfect will in heaven, is being carried out on earth in these present days!  Do you see?  God is revealing Himself like never before, and we are witnesses in front-row seats.  Yet, we dare not just sit and look.  God’s plan is that we will be awakened, and stirred to arise.  To be activated to shine as He writes our names into this present-day story, putting us as main characters on the front-lines – or main characters behind the scenes.  To God, each of our parts in His ultimate plan is just as important as the others!  Dear people, do you realize that God could simply with one flourish of His hand write His story without our help?  But He desires to have us be with Him wherever He is at work ~ and so He calls  us to be a part of what He is doing on earth in these days.  Will we answer?

These are perilous, treacherous days filled with evil.  And yet, these are exciting, blessed and favored days!  We could very well be the generation that is physically raptured from this earth and caught up to meet Jesus in the skies as He comes to take us Home!  What a day that will be, children of God!!

God’s Word says that in the last days people will be inventors of evil things (Romans 1:30).  Can you think of anything more evil than just walking up to a child in a crowded, public place and throwing him off a three-story balcony to the floor below?  Just because you decided you want to kill someone that day?  It seemed like a certain death sentence for that little boy.  But … enter GOD!  This evil act took place on a world stage.  The world is well aware of the Mall of America.  And the media streams events live – and instantaneously the world knows what just took place.  As soon as I heard about this horrific act of evil, I pleaded with God for the life of little five year old Landen – that God would spare him and heal him supernaturally and raise him up miraculously for all the world to see that OUR GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD!  He has always been – and will always be, the One and only force to be reckoned with at the end of the day.  What Satan meant for evil and harm … was turned around for God’s glory when He showed up!  How I love that this little boy’s church rallied around him and his family and prayed, as well as millions of believers around the world!  Result:  his doctors say that his injuries are typical of those received from falling off a bicycle – not from being hurled three stories off a balcony!  How could the world refute a real live miracle?  GOD’S FINGERPRINTS!!

Just open up your newspaper, or read the news on your phone or watch it on TV … and you will see the marks of God’s fingerprints all over this earth! God is revealing Himself in every walk of life!  Protection in the midst of violent storms and in mass shootings and bombings in public places.  Christian movies in the theatres, like UNPLANNED, forecasted by the world to be a fail … but after viewing it in its opening days, over one hundred employees of abortion clinics sought help as their eyes were opened to the evil of this slaughter of innocent babies.  They now are choosing life over death.  And I am sure those numbers are climbing.  A win for God’s plan to give His creation a hope and a future.  GOD’S FINGERPRINTS!!

Doctor’s diagnoses amongst our own church family:  blood clot in the lung of a husband; mass thought to be cancer in the lung of his wife; major weakness and a pacemaker procedure; tests for tumors and Parkinson’s; cervical cancer surgery; back surgery; torn retina; major injury of fingers in table saw accident; and many more not disclosed, but prayed for as unspoken requests!  And the list of prayer requests constantly streams in – for tests yet coming up and the anxiety of the unknown; the needs for housing and provision; for healing of loved ones; for salvation of loved ones; for strength and the desire to be Christlike in all things.  When we feel fear or hopelessness … God shows up!  What happens?  Doctors cannot find the blood clot; there is no cancerous mass – just an infection; no evidence of tumors or Parkinson’s; miraculous results in the other surgeries and procedures; and as the needs continue to flow in, so does God’s supernatural blessing and favor flow out to those who need His touch.  Is God alive and real at Elevation North?  Ask our church family!  GOD’S FINGERPRINTS are all over us!! 

God IS writing His story all over the earth in these days … and that includes our stories!  Don’t you love having the God of all creation co-author your story?  Yes, we are writing it by our decisions, choices, and actions … and by our obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ who leads us, empowers us, and protects us!  THANK GOD FOR HIS FINGERPRINTS in our lives!!

REMEMBER . . .

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

~Isaiah 41:10  

Joyfully Serving Christ . . .
