This month of April coming up, is the time that we remember what our oldest Brother, Jesus, did for us, in becoming a man, in living in the Earth, in showing us as an example of how "we" should live, and then in His standing in our place, as THE Sacrificial Lamb of God, offering Himself up once and for all, on our behalf and in our place, to "die"! 

The really GOOD NEWS is that He AROSE on the third day!  But not before He took Satan's keys from him, and turned Hell upside down as He burst His way out of there ... because death, Hell and the grave could no longer hold him! 

He literally "burst forth" in victory, after having been crucified as a sinner, in our place, so that we (thanks to the Covenant of Abraham) could swap our sin for His righteousness!  And we can now stand before God, as though we have never ever sinned!  That's right, because of what Jesus did, you and I are able to waltz into the throne room like we own the place ... because we do!  The Bible says that we are "join heirs with Jesus"!  That means whatever He got, because of Calvary, so did we! 

You see, we are now members of the Family of GOD!  We're God's kids!!  And in the same way that your child waltzes into the kitchen of your home, and opens up that refrigerator, like he owns the place, we too can now walk into Heaven like "we" own the place, because of what Jesus did ... for us! 

Keep that in mind this season as we enter into the time of Easter, a celebration and remembrance of God's Gift to Mankind! 

Make me proud!

My wife and I have decided that we are NOT going to grow old!  You laugh, but I am serious.
Most of the "growing old" thing is when your body stop working right, it aches, the muscles don't do what they used to, you feel tired, and you just "stop" having fun! 

So, that being said, "WE" are not going to grow old - period! We are going to exercise and be health examples!  Why am I publishing this on the newsletter? 

It's all about "pressure"!  I am putting the "pressure" on!  Now that YOU know, we are "committed" to making it happen! 

What are YOU doing to keep your body healthy, and to eat right? 
Look for tips and trials in these up-and-coming articles in this section here, on CampfireTALK!

FAITH, the servant of the Believer. 
Kenneth Copeland wrote a book, after preaching a series of sermons on that very subject.  You ought to see about getting the tape/CD, or the book ...

Faith, the Bible says, is "the evidence" of things that we are hoping for.  It is also "the assurance" of things not yet seen!  THAT is "Bible" folks! 

What are you believing God for?  And how are you going about obtaining it?  Well, if you've asked God about it, then here's what you do from there ...

(1)  You only speak in line with that prayer, that expectation.  You NEVER speak contrary to it - ever!  Your "words" re-enforce the seed that was sown as you stood before God and prayed, declaring your end-results, before it even began!

(2)  You meditate The Word of God!  You "must" put THE WORD in your heart, if your faith is ever going to work.  The Bible says that "faith" comes by hearing, and that hearing comes by the Word of God.  YOU HAVE TO MEDITATE THE WORD OF GOD if you want to have faith - period! 
(that's where your "charge" comes from) 

(3)  You turn a deaf ear to the devil.   When you are believing God for something - anything, the devil will try to tell you that it's not going to happen!  He will try and tell you that you don't deserve it, that you don't have enough faith to get it, and that God's too busy or your need is not that important, to get accomplished.  DON'T LISTEN TO HIM!  When he begins to speak, you just quote again what you already asked God for, and talk about it LIKE YOU ALREADY HAVE RECEIVED IT!  (that really makes the devil mad!)  

I assure you, if you apply these three principles, YOU WILL GET what you asked for!  God already WANTS to give it you, but He wants you to learn to live by your "faith".  After all, the entire Kingdom of God works that way - on faith! 

Make me proud!
