Please pray for families that need to sell their homes.

Brethren,
There are many friends and families that need to sell their homes so they can decrease their debt, and move to rural areas where they may worship the Lord with less interference.  Let us pray for these folks, Brethren.
Let's pray that the Lord allows these properties to be sold promptly and these dear folks may move.
Thank you. 



Preparation for Time of Trouble


Houses and lands will be of no use to the saints in the time of trouble, for they will then have to flee before infuriated mobs, and at that time their possessions cannot be disposed of to advance the cause of present truth. I was shown that it is the will of God that the saints should cut loose from every encumbrance before the time of trouble comes, and make a covenant with God through sacrifice. If they have their property on the altar, and earnestly inquire of God for duty, He will teach them when to dispose of these things. Then they will be free in the time of trouble, and have no clogs to weigh them down.

I saw that if any held on to their property, and did not inquire of the Lord as to their duty, He would not make duty known, and they would be permitted to keep their property, and in the time of trouble it would come up before them like a mountain to crush them, and they would try to dispose of it, but would not be able. I heard some mourn like this: “The cause was languishing, God’s people were starving for the truth, and we made no effort to supply the lack; now our property is useless. O that we had let it go, and laid up treasure in heaven!”

I saw that a sacrifice did not increase, but it decreased and was consumed. I also saw that God had not required all of His people to dispose of their property at the same time, but if they desired to be taught, He would teach them, in a time of need, when to sell and how much to sell. Some have been required to dispose of their property in times past to sustain the advent cause, while others have been permitted to keep theirs until a time of need. Then, as the cause needs it, their duty is to sell.—Early Writings, 56, 57

Join in prayer for Sister Austin


 
TPT Win. Revive. Vindicate.
 
DR. AUSTIN NEEDS YOUR PRAYERS.
On Saturday, February 8, Dr. Austin made a sudden phone call to the medical emergency line. She was having trouble breathing. She was unconscious when they arrived at her home and today she is still unconscious and the test results are "not looking good." The doctor's don't think that she is going to "make it."

Brothers and sisters, with God, nothing is impossible.

I spoke with her only son and told him I would ask you to join us in prayer for his mother. Please, take a minute now and pray for Sister Austin. We would like for God to intervene and wake her up and restore her to health; she is in His hands. Ultimately and most importantly, we are praying that God's will would be done.

Dr. Austin attended our recently concluded evangelistic meeting in Alabama--only intending to come for one night--and four months later she has still been with us. While she already loved the Lord and loved to study the Bible, she couldn't hide her joy after each Wednesday night Bible study and Sabbath worship service because the beauty of Jesus Christ in His Word had touched her heart with such force and clarity.

Thank you, brothers and sisters, for joining us in prayer for Sister Austin. Continue to pray and thank God for what He is doing and what He will do through this situation.

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7
