Greetings and blessings from Arthur, Denise and Sophia, June 2012 Please read my message at the end of this E Letter about Determination! The Cross in Space! A cross made from the cross carried around the world on foot by Arthur Blessitt in every nation is now in orbit around the earth! After 12 years of effort the Cross circling above the nations. Where ever you are, look up, the cross is up there. It was launched on the SpaceX rocket Falcon 9 on May 22 and is in a canister attached to the second stage rocket still orbiting the earth. With the cross in space we declare "The Earth is the Lords" Many tens of thousands of people have come to our website to see the news with many finding Jesus as their Savior. This is one of the most evangelistic things I have ever done. Tens of thousands of people from Islamic nations have come because the cross passes over Jerusalem, Mecca, China, UK, USA!

Jesus did it. But I can tell you it took determination to go on in the face of many, many struggles, pains, hurts, challenges and yet Jesus was there all the time and in every step. It took forty years to make that journey and we still walk on. It took twelve years to get the cross in orbit around the earth. It took over a year to get "The Cross" movie into every place I carried the cross to. On and on I could go. "For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.Nevertheless he who stands steadfast in their heart...but has power over their own will, and has so determined in their heart does well." (1 Corinthians 2:2; 7:37) Determination is not a subject you often hear about. I would even think that it might be a thought that many do not like to linger on. We are living in a time of the 'instant'. Drive-thru fast food restaurants and TV with a hundred or more stations from which to choose. Our frustration rises in the rush-hour traffic or being put on hold on the telephone for a few minutes. Our society today demands fast action and instant gratification. We want everything in the shortest amount of time at the cheapest cost. We want God to just give us scripture knowledge without study. We want anointing without sacrifice and power without prayer. We have many who want to pray in the Kingdom of God but few willing to go and tell and touch and love and share the message of Jesus. Having tried to share Jesus once or a few times and got discouraged many move to the chair to just set in criticism, discouragement, and unbelief while the world is going to hell around them. Take a quick look at that Bible you have and see what it took to deliver the message of Jesus through the ages. The Power of the Holy Spirit and a willing heart with a total willingness to give it all and go to anyone anywhere for the Glory of God sharing the message of Jesus. We have become addicted to heroes!!! However we should all be heroes! Heroes with an unshakable determination to obey Jesus and give our lives to share Jesus with all the world. People determined to love, live and walk in the Spirit. But what about those things that take time; a baby takes nine months and gray hair may take fifty years or more. That big oak tree did not grow up overnight. Ha! In the service of Jesus Christ our Lord we are often called on missions that require 'determination'. Jesus calls and sends us forth. Rather Jesus calls and 'Goes' with you! Often difficulties of every sort come before us. Barriers block the way you are going. The mountains are steep and the rivers wide; the way is narrow and the road winding. Sometimes it takes just getting up and just putting one foot in front of the other. The rain is pouring but you just go on about your calling. At times the critics are loud and the words painful but you set your face to go on. There could be years when there is no praise or glory and yet you are faithful. You know your calling and you do not detour to a more popular way or easier way. You pray and trust Jesus to meet every need and in the face of danger and even ill health you press on. It takes determination to go every week to the Jail or the rescue mission or the senior citizens home. It takes determination to gather food, pack it and give it to the poor. It is often the thankless jobs that are hard to fill. No glory, just laborers in the vineyard of the Lord. Oh, dear one do not be weary in well doing! Stay faithful to the call of God. For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure. (Philippians 2:13) Godly determination comes not from the flesh but from the Spirit, from Jesus! Therefore all the glory is unto the Lord God Almighty and not to you or to me. Ask Jesus to give you 'Both the Will' and the 'To Do' His good pleasure! Glory. In the face of discouragement and struggles don't walk away or drop out of the Will and Call of Jesus for your life. Just go on and on and on with your heart and desires set on doing what Jesus has given you in this life. Rejoice! I can tell you that should you just keep on walking and walking you can make it around the world. Hang on! Don't give up on dreams and visions that you believe have been given to you by God. I get so tired of hearing people complain about what they 'don't have'! Look at what you have and let Jesus use that. Press on, walk in faith, and believe, Jesus is with you so rejoice! You have available to you 'All the Riches in Glory by Christ Jesus'! You are as rich as any person on earth if you just realize it and tap into the Glory! Should you need to receive Jesus as your Savior then Do It. Take that giant step into the arms of Jesus and follow Him...Now! For Prayer Request and comments you can just hit 'Return' and we would love to hear from you. You can also forward this E letter to your friends. God bless you, thanks.
