“I the Lord do keep it; I will water it every moment; lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day. “ -  Isaiah 27:3

When the Lord speaks about himself, His word invokes a special response in the hearts of believers. Jehovah himself will keep a watch on His vineyard, and will not turn it over to any human. He will take care of it and make it His responsibility. Can the Lord do what He promised to do? We will be watered, not only daily and every hour, but every second. The Lord then expects us to grow and bring forth much fruit. O how rich and heavy the clusters of grapes on the vines will be!

Yet the enemies of the vineyard will not stay quiet, the small foxes, wild pigs and others. And so, God himself will protect the vineyard - every hour, day and night. Who can hurt us? Of whom shall we be afraid? The Lord will water, the Lord will keep, the Lord will guard and He will take care of the overseers. What more do we need?

Again, He repeats: ‘I will keep it’. What a glorious repetition! What a great confidence that we see in the heavenly speaker! Jehovah. Who can challenge His will? When He says I will do it, will there be any room for doubt of these powerful heavenly words? We can face the evil powers of death and hell.

My Lord, as long as You say , I the Lord am the keeper, my response to you will always be with the songs of praise!

"Jesus said, I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." - Matthew 16:18

Through the centuries, this verse prevailed against all the powers of the enemy. Jesus, being the chief cornerstone, has brought the fulfillment of His own personal prophecy. As I write this, the Gospel is being preached to the world more than any other time in history. Yes, the enemy is active, and sometimes we are concerned, especially for our beloved America. I just read a statistic that said that only 35% of the young married couples who call themselves evangelicals, attend church. So, the battle goes on. As it was in the old testament days, and the days of the apostles. We must fight the good fight of FAITH. No matter what the secular news may say to discourage us from pressing on. Some of the chosen have not been reached yet. The Lord spoke to me, through the verse he gave to Joshua of old. ‘Every place that the sole of your feet shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I have said unto Moses.’ Joshua 1:3

When you receive this newsletter I will be back from a crusade with Arab refugees in England, and a pastor’s conference in Cyprus. Leaders will be coming from Lebanon and Egypt. Many will be there for the first time, and after four days, will return to their congregations with a new vision and new spiritual strength. Rejoice with me that the true church is on the cutting edge. This ministry is evangelizing the world. and discipling the leaders. So, our commander in chief, the Lord Jesus, has not lost a battle yet in spite of what the enemy would say when a leader slips and falls, like some have. God’s Grace is sufficient for them. Remember to keep fighting the good fight of faith bearing in mind, “greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.” Yes, it is not over yet. The victory is the Lord’s!
