January 2025 NM Prayer Connect, PATH-NM & COG-NM/El Paso, TX Newsletter!

​What will you do different in 2025? January Newsletter for NM Prayer Connect / Prayer At The Heart of NM / COG, NM, El Paso, TX & SW Indian Ministries!

Philippians 3:13 [a]Brothers and sisters, I do not consider that I have made it my own yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the [heavenly] prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. 15 All of us who are mature [pursuing spiritual perfection] should have this attitude. And if in any respect you have a different attitude, that too God will make clear to you. 16 Only let us stay true to what we have already attained.

17 Brothers and sisters, together follow my example and observe those who live by the pattern we gave you. 18 For there are many, of whom I have often told you, and now tell you even with tears, who live as enemies of the cross of Christ [rejecting and opposing His way of salvation], 19 whose fate is destruction, whose god is their belly [their worldly appetite, their sensuality, their vanity], and whose glory is in their shame—who focus their mind on earthly and temporal things. 20 But [we are different, because] our citizenship is in heaven. And from there we eagerly await [the coming of] the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; 21 who, by exerting that power which enables Him even to subject everything to Himself, will [not only] transform [but completely refashion] our earthly bodies so that they will be like His glorious resurrected body (AMP).

Like Paul the Apostle, as we enter into 2025, you and I need to be “forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead!” We need to “press on toward the goal to win the [heavenly] prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” If we are to follow the pattern set before us, as Jesus and His disciples demonstrated, shouldn’t we ask Him to teach us to pray? In His John 17 prayer, we are to be One, just as Jesus and The Father are One, In The Holy Spirit and He certainly was a man of prayer! Below are the only two recorded examples in Holy Script, of the outline or blueprint, for us to use in our regular prayer times and an example of how not to pray. Hoping for God to pour new wine into old wineskins isn’t going to happen and The Word tells us that He is wanting to do a new thing in our day, so how about we set aside old patterns, doctrines of men and commit to moving in obedience to His Spirit. Messiah taught us to ask, seek and knock and the bible tells us, “You have not, because you ask not!” Starting January 1-21, 6pm MT @christianbody.net @projectpray.org & @CBNetMedia @YouTube and other social media sites on the internet or by phone, you are invited to join us for America’s Prayer Meeting, so prayerfully read over the following scripture verses, invite others and spread the word, because last year we had over 60,000 people join us, in 60 nations and 300 people gave their lives to The LORD. Each night we’ll have different ministry leaders and guests, covering specific topics for prayer, from local, state, nationwide and international ministries. Paul encourages all of humankind, everywhere, to lift up holy hands and to go boldly into God’s Throne room of grace and mercy. The Word Of God tells us to pray without ceasing and obedience always brings God’s blessings, so what better thing could you do different this year, than to talk to God, face to face, hear from Him and each other. Remember, one can put a thousand to flight and two can put ten thousand to flight, imagine what God can do with thousands in agreement, praying according to His Word, will, Way and believing that He will do exceedingly, abundantly, above and beyond all that we could ask, do or think, because He watches over His Word to perform It! The past year is gone, so let’s look unto Jesus, The Author & Finisher of our faith in 2025, because He cares for us. Did you know that the great men and women of faith in Hebrews 11 are incomplete without us? At the end of that chapter, God says that He has something better in store for us, so let’s seek The LORD, while He may be found and expect great and mighty things to come in this New Year!

Matthew 6:7-13

The Lord’s Prayer

7 And when you pray, do not heap up phrases (multiply words, repeating the same ones over and over) as the Gentiles do, for they think they will be heard for their much speaking. [I Kings 18:25-29.] 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.

9 Pray, therefore, like this: Our Father Who is in heaven, hallowed (kept holy) be Your name. 10 Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven ( 1 left, remitted, and let go of the debts, and have 2 given up resentment against) our debtors. 13 And lead (bring) us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

1 Kings 18:25-29

The Prophets of Baal Defeated

25 Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, Choose one bull for yourselves and dress it first, for you are many; and call on the name of your god, but put no fire under it. 26 So they took the bull given them, dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning until noon, saying, O Baal, hear and answer us! But there was no voice; no one answered. And they leaped upon or limped about the altar they had made. 27 At noon Elijah mocked them, saying, Cry aloud, for he is a god; either he is musing, or he has gone aside, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is asleep and must be awakened. 28 And they cried aloud and cut themselves after their custom with knives and lances until the blood gushed out upon them. 29 Midday passed, and they played the part of prophets until the time for offering the evening sacrifice, but there was no voice, no answer, no one who paid attention.

Luke 5:33-39

Amplified Bible

33 Then they said to Him, “The disciples of John [the Baptist] often practice fasting and offer prayers [of special petition], and so do the disciples of the Pharisees; but Yours eat and drink.” 34 Jesus said to them, “Can you make the wedding guests of the bridegroom fast while he is with them? 35 But days [for mourning] will come when the bridegroom is [forcefully] taken away from them. They will fast in those days.” 36 He also told them a parable: “No one tears a piece of cloth from a new garment and puts it on an old one; otherwise he will both tear the new, and the piece from the new will not match the old. 37 And no one puts new wine into old [a]wineskins; otherwise the new [fermenting] wine will [expand and] burst the skins and it will be spilled out, and the skins will be ruined. 38 But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins. 39 And no one, after drinking old wine, wishes for new; for he says, ‘The old is fine.’”

Footnotes

Luke 5:37 See note Matt 9:17.

Matthew 9:17

Amplified Bible

17 Nor is new wine put into old [a]wineskins [that have lost their elasticity]; otherwise the wineskins burst, and the [fermenting] wine spills and the wineskins are ruined. But new wine is put into fresh wineskins, so both are preserved.”

Luke 11:1-13

Amplified Bible

Instruction about Prayer

11 It happened that while Jesus was praying in a certain place, after He finished, one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray just as John also taught his disciples.” 2 He said to them,

“When you pray, [a]say:

‘[b]Father, [c]hallowed be Your name.

[d]Your kingdom come.

3

‘Give us each day our [e]daily bread.

4

‘And forgive us our sins,

For we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us [who has offended or wronged us].

And [f]lead us not into temptation [[g]but rescue us from evil].’”

Parable of Persistence

5 Then He said to them, “Suppose one of you has a friend, and goes to him at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves [of bread]; 6 for a friend of mine who is on a journey has just come to visit me, and I have nothing to serve him’; 7 and from inside he answers, ‘Do not bother me; the door has already been shut and my children and I are in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything.’ 8 I tell you, even though he will not get up and give him anything just because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence and boldness he will get up and give him whatever he needs.

9 “So I say to you, ask and keep on asking, and it will be given to you; seek and keep on seeking, and you will find; knock and keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who [h]keeps on asking [persistently], receives; and he who keeps on seeking [persistently], finds; and to him who keeps on knocking [persistently], the door will be opened. 11 What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead of a fish? 12 Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13 If you, then, being evil [that is, sinful by nature], know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask and continue to ask Him!”

If you or someone you know would like to hold a prayer meeting or outreach in NM or the surrounding areas, please don’t hesitate to contact me. As I write this, it’s officially the 7th day of Christmas, the 6th day of Hanukkah (John 10:22) & the last day of 2024. Whatever you’re going through, keep going forward, because God promises to get us through it, you are not alone! Jesus will command His blessing upon, in and through us, as we gather together in unity, according to Psalm 133. May His Face shine upon us all in this new year, 2025!

Shalom,

Mark Tross

October 2022 NM Prayer Connect/PATH-NM & COG-NM/El Paso, TX Newsletter!

2 Corinthians 5:17 (Amplified Bible) Therefore if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life].

October Blessings to ALL The Saints,

As we enter into the last quarter of 2022, the highest holy days on the biblical calendar, the sounding of the shofar (there is a sound of awakening and revival), Rosh Hashanah (The Head Of The Year), entering into the year of 5783 on the traditional Jewish calendar, the 10 Days of Awe, the Day of Atonement (Expiation, according to Hebrews 10:9) & God’s Biblical Feast of Tabernacles, which ALL followers/disciples of Messiah/Christ/The Anointed ONE/ECHAD will celebrate forever, according to Zechariah 14:16-21, so let us pay very close attention to what The Holy Spirit Of The Lord is saying to The Church/Ekklesia/Ecclesia/The Called Out Ones/The Bride TODAY and if you hear His Voice, The Voice Of ONE, harden not your heart, but come to Him as little children, because you may have heard it said, but what is Jesus/Yeshua/Salvation saying unto YOU?

In our opening portion of holy script, the Apostle Paul, also known as Saul of Tarsus, is telling us that we are engrafted into Messiah, crucified with Him and yes, resurrected with Him, presently seated in the Heavenlies, at the right hand of God The Father, along with Jesus, as Joint Heirs. He became sin for us, so that we could become The Righteousness Of God In Christ, meaning that The Word Of God, The Law, The Prophets and The Writings, were nailed to The Tree/The Cross and fulfilled/completed In Love, which is why Jesus/Yeshua could cry out, “It Is FINISHED!” took His last breath and gave up The Ghost, so that The Holy Spirit could be poured out on all flesh at Pentecost and continues to be poured out today, upon all who will receive Him. ‘The Letter Of The Law’ was killed, but ‘The Spirit Of The Law’ (Of Liberty, according to Jesus’ 1/2 brother, James) brings resurrection power & Life Eternal! Old Things have passed away, but what Old Things? Notice what the Amplified Bible states in brackets: [The Previous Moral & Spiritual Condition], meaning yours, mine and above all, God’s Moral & Spiritual Revelations that were revealed to humankind, pointing to The ONE Who would come according to Moses and They said that we should listen to Him, so ‘Behold,’ Look, See, Fix your eyes upon Yeshua/Jesus, The Author & Finisher of our Faith, for without it we can’t please God and He has ushered in The New & Better Covenant, according to Hebrews, fulfilling The Promises Of God, which are Yes & Amen In Him, regarding The New Covenant Prophesies in Jeremiah & Ezekiel [Because Spiritual Awakening Brings A New Life]. The Book Of Hebrews tells us that This Covenant doesn’t go into effect until the death of The ONE Who wrote It and right before His death, Jesus gives us (His Followers) A NEW Commandment, “Love One Another Just As I Have Loved You!” Our God wishes NONE would perish and that ALL would come to Repentance. Yeshua/Jesus came to Save SINNERS! We have been SENT By HIM to GO and DO likewise, but it’s not in our own power and strength, but By HIS HOLY Spirit, Anointing, Empowering & Enabling us to will and to do, according to His Good Pleasure, The Works, which HE has prepared for you and me to do, before the foundations of the world were laid by Him. I don’t know about you, but in 2 Corinthians 5:17 (one of the first scripture verses I ever memorized), anyone literally means, ANYONE, Jew, Gentile, male, female, slave, free, rich, poor, young, old, red, yellow, black or white. We Must Be Born Again, grafted in by faith, joined, united to Him as Savior, our Salvation/Yeshua/Jesus, reborn and renewed by His Holy Spirit, so let me ask you a very personal question, Are you living in the old or The NEW??? LOOK at the entire Gospel, Genesis-Revelation, rightfully dividing The Word Of TRUTH/JESUS. NEW Things Have Come, most importantly The NEW & BETTER Covenant, The NEW High Priest and every believer is brought into This Royal, Kingly Priesthood, because Spiritual Awakening Brings A NEW Eternal, Everlasting, Abundant, Resurrection LIFE and it’s ONLY found In Yeshua/Jesus! There are 613 commandments in the old covenant of Moses, but even in The Gospels and many churches today, believers want to ‘keep’ the 10 commandments, when Paul/Saul, under the inspiration of God’s Holy Spirit says, “If you break just one law, you have broken them all!” Personally, I choose Holy Spirit Grace and NOT The Letter Of The Law, that according to The Bible, KILLS, because Jesus/Yeshua came, so that we would have Life & LIFE Abundantly, so, “What Say YOU?”

We’re already preparing for 2023 and Prayer At The Heart of EVERY County in NM (including the center of each of our 23 Tribal Nations), so if you or someone you know are interested, visit their national website at http://prayerattheheart.org and don’t hesitate to contact me. Please keep the National Prayer Assembly, taking place at ORU in Tulsa, OK in your prayers, it’ll be happening October 31-November 2, 2022 & remember The Rooftop International Event that’s taking place on Sunday, October 2, 2022 (for more information visit http://www.therooftop.org ). I look forward to hearing from you and seeing you face to face in the near future, but until then, Be BLESSED!

Shalom,
Mark Tross

“What Did You Go Out Into The Desert To See?” – Jesus

Matthew 11:7-10New International Version

As John’s disciples were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swayed by the wind? If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No, those who wear fine clothes are in kings’ palaces. Then what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 10 This is the one about whom it is written:

“‘I will send my messenger ahead of you,
    who will prepare your way before you.’   
Followers of Christ, Messiah, The Anointed One,

                 Three times in this three verse portion of Holy Script, Jesus asks His Disciples this eternal question.  Whether we choose to accept it or not, it’s up there with, “Who Do You Say That I Am?” – Jesus.  How are we to respond in kind to our Lord & Savior? Of whom is He commenting on and how does this relate to us, in such a time as this?

Luke 1:16-17Amplified Bible

16 He will turn many of the sons of Israel back [from sin] to [love and serve] the Lord their God. 17 It is he who will go as a forerunner before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers back to the children, and the disobedient to the attitude of the righteous [which is to seek and submit to the will of God]—in order to make ready a people [perfectly] prepared [spiritually and morally] for the Lord.”
                 Both ‘Major’ & ‘Minor’ Prophets alike add credence to our topic of this month’s newsletter: 

Isaiah 40:3Amplified Bible


A voice of one is calling out,
“Clear the way for the Lord in the wilderness [remove the obstacles];
Make straight and smooth in the desert a highway for our God.

Malachi 3:1Amplified Bible

The Purifier

3 “Behold, I am going to send My [a]messenger, and he will prepare and clear the way before Me. And the Lord [the Messiah], whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple; the [b]Messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight, behold, He is coming,” says the Lord of hosts.

Malachi 4:5-6 AMPC

Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes. [Matt. 11:14; 17:10-13.] And he shall turn and reconcile the hearts of the [estranged] fathers to the [ungodly] children, and the hearts of the [rebellious] children to [the piety of] their fathers [a reconciliation produced by repentance of the ungodly], lest I come and smite the land with a curse and a ban of utter destruction. [Luke 1:17.]

                 Look and see, pay attention, because God, Jesus has also ‘sent’ you and me! To what end? He wishes that none would perish and all would come to Salvation/Yeshua/Jesus, but how are others in the world going to come to know Him (experientially) ‘if’ you and I don’t GO & tell them The Good News, Glad Tidings of Great (Holy Spirit) Joy, The Gospel Of God? ‘IF’ is a very BIG two letter word, when it comes to obedience and whether or not we walk in the blessings of God.  IF My People, TODAY, IF You Hear His Voice… 

Hebrews 4:7 Amplified® Bible
Again He sets a definite day, [a new] Today, [and gives another opportunity of securing that rest] saying through David after so long a time in the words already quoted, Today, if you would hear His voice {and} when you hear it, do not harden your hearts. 

Psalm 95:7-8Amplified Bible


For He is our God
And we are the people of His pasture and the sheep of His hand.
Today, if you will hear His voice,

Do not harden your hearts and become spiritually dull as at Meribah [the place of strife],
And as at Massah [the place of testing] in the wilderness,

Hebrews 3:7-11Amplified Bible

Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says,

“Today if you hear His voice,

Do not harden your hearts as [your fathers did] in the rebellion [of Israel at [a]Meribah],
On the day of testing in the wilderness,

Where your fathers tried Me by testing [My forbearance and tolerance],
And saw My works for forty years
[And found I stood their test].
10 
“Therefore I was angered with this generation,
And I said, ‘They always go astray in their heart,
And they did not know My ways [nor become progressively better and more intimately acquainted with them]’;
11 
So I swore [an oath] in My wrath,
‘They shall not enter My rest [the promised land].’”

                  What did you go out to see, a Christian Movie or Concert? Did you go out to see a baseball game or to the amusement park for Christian Day? ‘IF’ God called a Solemn Assembly or Holy Convocation TODAY, would you attend? Would you go out to taste and see that The LORD Is Good and Listen, Hear what His Holy Spirit Is Saying To The Church, His Ecclesia/Ekklesia, The Called Out Ones, His Bride? Jesus still speaks to us today, according to Hebrews 1, but what is He saying? Are we walking in The Light, in total obedience to what He has already told us? The Precious Promises Of God Are STILL Yes & Amen In Christ Jesus! His Prophetic Word Is STILL Alive & Active (Hebrews 4)! You and I can NOW tap into God’s Living Water, that is flowing upon, in and through you, by His Holy Spirit, here in New Mexico, across America and around the world.  What is God calling us to at this time and season? #1:  To GO & DO Likewise, Just As Jesus DID.  #2:  To (intellectually and experientially) Know Him and The Power Of His Resurrection!

A MESSAGE FROM JOHN ROBB Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Warm greetings to you! Our planning team representing Native, Hispanic, and Anglo prayer ministries met recently and reported how…
www.christianbody.net

     Imagine your a fly on the wall or in this case the well and listening to a conversation happening about the sixth hour, high noon, between Jesus and a woman of Samaria in a town called Sychar.  He’s tired from His journey, leaving Judea to return to Galilee and sits down to rest by the well of Jacob, who gave this tract of land to his son Joseph, so when the woman came to draw water, Jesus says to her, “Give Me a drink”- to which the woman asks, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask me, a Samaritan [and a] woman, for a drink?-For the Jews have nothing to do with Samaritans.” If she had only known and recognized God’s gift and Who was saying to her, “Give Me a drink,” she could have asked Him [instead] and He would have given her living water.  

     John 4:11 The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw water with, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water? 12 iAre you greater than our father Jacob? jHe gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock.” 13 Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, 14 but kwhoever drinks of the water that I will give him lwill never be thirsty again.2 The water that I will give him will become min him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” 15 The woman said to him, “Sir, ngive me this water, so that I will not be thirsty or have to come here to draw water (ESV).”                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               After a long discourse with this woman, whose name only Jesus knows, she speaks about her ancestral fathers and how they worshiped on this mountain, but the Jews say that Jerusalem is the place where it’s necessary and proper to worship, but He responds to her, you and me, “Believe Me, the time is coming and now is, when the true (genuine) worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and in Truth (reality)!” She knew Messiah/Christ (the Anointed One) was coming, that He would tell us everything we need to know and make it clear to us, to which Jesus replied, “I Who now speak with you am He.” The disciples now enter the scene and the woman exits, but only to tell the people, “Come, see a Man Who has told me everything I ever did!” In the meantime, His disciples urge Him to eat, but He replies, “I have food (nourishment) to eat of which you know nothing and have no idea, which is to do the will (pleasure) of Him Who sent Me and to accomplish and completely finish His work.  
   I’ve taken you on this little journey, which lasted another two days for Jesus, Who wound up staying with the Samaritans, before getting on to His desired haven of Galilee, because The Vine bore good fruit and lasting fruit for God’s Kingdom, which is why we’re still talking about this message today, it’s eternal.     We just came through the Passover, Feast of Firstfruits & Unleavened Bread, celebrating our Passover Lamb, The One Who takes away the sins of the world and hopefully you’re all counting up 50 days to Pentecost, but have you really tasted and seen that The LORD Is Good? Do you have rivers of Living Water flowing out of your belly? Have you drunk from The Well(Spring) Of Salvation/Yeshua? 

  Isaiah 12:2-6Amplified Bible (AMP)

2. Behold, God, my salvation! I will trust and not be afraid, for the Lord God is my strength and song; yes, He has become my salvation.

3. Therefore with joy will you draw water from the wells of salvation.

4. And in that day you will say, Give thanks to the Lord, call upon His name and by means of His name [in solemn entreaty]; declare and make known His deeds among the peoples of the earth, proclaim that His name is exalted!

5. Sing praises to the Lord, for He has done excellent things [gloriously]; let this be made known to all the earth.

6. Cry aloud and shout joyfully, you women and inhabitants of Zion, for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel.  

   I hope and pray that every confessing Christian will attend the Prayer At The Heart of New Mexico event, happening on July 23, 2022 at Sloan-Simpson Park, 10am-4pm in Corona, NM.  Please register at the ChristianBody.Net link above, invite others and help us spread the word, so we can get representation from all 33 counties in our state, every tribal nation, red, yellow, black, white, male, female, young & old, because in 2023 we’ll have Prayer At The Heart in the center of each county and in 2024 we’re praying for events in the center of every city, not only here in NM, but across America, so visit:  http://prayerattheheart.org Prayer At The Heart

MARCH 2022 NM Prayer Connect Newsletter: If You Remain Silent…

MARCH 2022 – NM Prayer Connect Newsletter:  If You Remain Silent… 

Esther 4:13-14Amplified Bible

13 Then Mordecai told them to reply to Esther, “Do not imagine that you in the king’s palace can escape any more than all the Jews. 14 For if you remain silent at this time, liberation and rescue will arise for the Jews from another place, and you and your father’s house will perish [since you did not help when you had the chance]. And who knows whether you have attained royalty for such a time as this [and for this very purpose]?”
Sisters & Brothers In Yeshua/Jesus,

            As the world focuses on the Russia-Ukraine situation, biblically aligning us with Ezekiel’s end of days visions, I believe as God brought judgement against Egypt and their gods, because of the hardening of their hearts toward Him, He is going to arise and may His enemies be scattered! He promises to show Himself Mighty, El Shaddai In Our Midst & ALL His Promises are Yes & Amen In Messiah/Christ, but we must believe in, cling to, trust in and rely on Him in our times of need and not doubt that He Is Who He says He Is, The Great I AM.  Without Faith it is Impossible to please Him, so we must take Him at His Word/Yeshua/Jesus!

             Purim/Lots, a JOYous Festival commemorating the survival of the Jews (their history goes back over 1.000 years in Ukraine), who were marked for death by their Persian/Iranian rulers, in the 5th century BC (an early version of Hitler’s “Final Solution”), is related in the Biblical Book of Esther (Megillat Esther) and celebrated on Thursday, March 17th this year.  From fasting to feasting, prayer to praise and oppression to elation, you and I today are here, like Queen Esther, “For Such A Time As This” and we cannot be silent.  It was during this same time and season that God showed His Faithluness to His Covenant People. 

Genesis 12:2-3Amplified Bible


And [a]I will make you a great nation,
And I will bless you [abundantly],
And make your name great (exalted, distinguished);
And you shall be a blessing [a source of great good to others];

And I will bless (do good for, benefit) those who bless you,
And I will curse [that is, subject to My wrath and judgment] the one who curses (despises, dishonors, has contempt for) you.
And in you all the families (nations) of the earth will be blessed.”

             The latest population estimate for Ukraine is 42,800,000 with 360,000–400,000 Jews and God will intervene where His character is at stake!

Romans 11:29 AMPC

For God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable. [He never withdraws them when once they are given, and He does not change His mind about those to whom He gives His grace or to whom He sends His call.]

             Purim is perhaps the most expressive feast in the biblical calendar and believers might choose this time and season to intercede for the protection & salvation of Israel and all in this present world of darkness, who do not personally know Him and The Power Of His Resurrection.  It is The Same GOD, Who desires to Bless our personal lives today and Lots Is A Great Time Of JOY for Believers In Yeshua/Jesus The Messiah/Christ! Life In Him Is an Amazing Journey, from here to Eternity and through Prayer & Hope, we can Rejoice, even in the darkest of times, so may His Spiritual JOY Be Yours in a Fresh Way as you Celebrate the Full Meaning of God’s Appointed Times & Seasons we are now living through together In Him. 

Romans 10:1-4Amplified Bible

The Word of Faith Brings Salvation

10 Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God for Israel is for their salvation. For I testify about them that they have a certain enthusiasm for God, but not in accordance with [correct and vital] knowledge [about Him and His purposes]. For not knowing about God’s righteousness [which is based on faith], and seeking to establish their own [righteousness based on works], they did not submit to God’s righteousness. For Christ is the end of the law [it leads to Him and its purpose is fulfilled in Him], for [granting] righteousness to everyone who believes [in Him as Savior]. 

             On April 9th we will be in Brady, TX for the Prayer At The Heart event with Doug Small, Rick Curry & others and on Wednesday, March 16th, I will be interviewing Gerard Long from http://www.prayerattheheart.org http://awakeningtogod.org and http://www.livinghopebook.com @christianbody.net @YouTube @appletv @roku @streamingchurch.tv and on other social media sites.  Mark your calendar for Saturday, July 23rd for the Prayer At The Heart of NM, 10am on the 7Up/7Down Ranch in the middle of our state, help us get the word out by sharing this information, invite others and hope to see you all there + if you or anyone you know would like to hold a prayer event anywhere in or around NM, don’t hesitate to contact me. 

Thanks & Blessings,

Hi Mark & Juliet,
Impact Nations is inviting people from around the world, and from many different church streams to an event we are calling The Beautiful Gospel Conference. From May 11 to 14 we are gathering in Albuquerque, New Mexico for what we believe will be an extraordinary time together.
We have three world-class speakers and theologians coming who are friends of Impact Nations––Brian Zahnd, Brad Jersak, and Cherith Nordling. They share a common passion to communicate just how beautiful the Gospel really is––deeper and higher, more beautiful and all-encompassing than many of us have ever known. Beyond teaching us, they are coming to facilitate encounter, both in and among us. To further help us on this journey, we have invited three other workshop speakers to lead us in how to apply what we are learning and experiencing.
The river of God is very wide, with each stream adding to the overall richness of life within the river. Therefore, we are reaching out to men and women from many Church traditions, all gathering around our common love for Jesus. We all have so much to learn from each other.
I am asking for your help. Our biggest challenge is to let people know, far and wide, about this remarkable gathering. Would you please help me by forwarding this invitation to your friends and contacts? I know of no more powerful and effective way to get the word out. Thank you so much for this.
We are in a time in history when the Holy Spirit is stirring a deep longing: our hearts are telling us, there has to be more. Let that common desire bring us together this May. It really is a Beautiful Gospel.
We have created a website with lots of information about The Beautiful Gospel. Visit it today at www.beautifulgospelconference.com.
Looking forward to a wonderful time together in May.
With love for Jesus and His Bride,
Steve
P.S. Register for The Beautiful Gospel Conference before March 1st for a chance to win a $100 conference shopping spree.

Baptism by Fire!

‘Baptism By Fire!’ – May 2025 NM Prayer Connect/PATH, NM/COG, NM, El Paso, TX & SWIM – South West Indian Ministries Newsletter! Psalm 32:8
“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.” – Psalm 32:8
Isaiah 44:3
“For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants.” – Isaiah 44
Ezekiel 36:26-27
“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.” – Ezekiel 36:26-27
From Old Covenant to the ‘New & Better’ Covenant, as the author of Hebrews put it, and we know that all scripture is God breathed, the Holy Spirit is not only present, but active, from Genesis to Revelation! Most believers would say that they received the Holy Spirit at their acceptance of Jesus or at their water baptism, but what does the Word Of God really say about this type of doctrinal stance, that so many churches vary in? There are upwards of 100 scripture versus in the bible, regarding the third person of the Trinity, but there are also confessing followers of Christ, who don’t believe in the Triunity of God, being 3 distinct persons, in ONE Godhead, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. After all, everyone knows God says, “Hear Oh Israel, the LORD our God Is ONE God!” Not knowing that the Hebrew word ‘echad,’ meaning a combining of parts being of ONE nature, just like when Paul the Apostle talks about the ‘Ecclesia or Ekklesia,’ the called out ones, which we refer to in English, as ‘The Church,’ The Bride/Body Of Christ, being many members, but just ONE Head, The Man Christ Jesus, not the Pope, Pastor, Preacher, Elder, Bishop, Deacon, Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Teacher or whoever else people think is ‘the head of The Church!’ Acts 19:2
“And asked them, ‘Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?’ They answered, ‘No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.’” – Acts 19:2
Obviously the Holy Spirit was around in the creation story, hovering over the waters, but He was also existing in all of eternity past and will forever, because He Is Eternal. There were those in the Jewish Bible, Genesis-Malichi, who not only were moved upon and led by The Spirit, but several were ‘filled’ with Him. Samuel writes that the Holy Spirit came mightily upon David. In the Old Testament, there are scriptures that mention the Spirit of the Lord coming to people. For example, in Exodus 31:3, God fills Moses with the Spirit of God. In Judges 14:6, the Spirit of the Lord empowers Samson to tear a lion apart. Isaiah 11:2 and Ezekiel 36:27 also reference the Spirit of the Lord. Additionally, Isaiah’s prophecy of the Servant of the Lord (Isaiah 42:1–9) highlights the intimate interworking of the triune God. Notice this quote from Stephen, the first martyr of the early church in Acts 7: 51 “You stiff-necked people! Your hearts and ears are still uncircumcised. You are just like your ancestors: You always resist the Holy Spirit! Moses in the Old Covenant declared, “I wish hat you all prophesied,” and Paul states in the New Covenant, “I wish that you all spoke in tongues.” On the first night of the resurrection, Jesus comes into the upper room (through a locked door) and breathes on His Disciples saying, “Peace/Shalom Be With You, Receive The Holy Spirit!” Since the New Covenant only goes into effect after His death, according to Hebrews, like God The Father, gathering up the dust of the ground, He ‘Breathed on the first Adam/Man” and he became a ‘living soul.” Jesus is the Last Adam and even after breathing on His Disciples in the upper room, before leaving this Earth, 40 days after His Resurrection, He commands the disciples to wait for the promise of The Father, The Holy Spirit, by praying for 10 days up to Pentecost Sunday, to be ‘baptized with The Holy Spirit & Fire!’ Since the death of Stephen, whose name means crown or martyr, many have died for their faith in Jesus, some like Jesus were crucified on a cross or what some translations of the bible call ‘an execution stake,’ others were burned at the stake, burned to death by the world’s fire, because they were filled with ‘The Fire Of God.’ Ephesians tells us that by putting up our shield of Faith, we take down every fiery dart of the enemy, but The Word Of God also tells us that our God Is A Consuming Fire, a refining fire. We’re even told that we’re going to go through that fire, to be purified as gold in the furnace, but like the three friends of Daniel, there will be another Man in the fire with us and we won’t get burned or even smell like fire. The last Christian martyr burned at the stake was Walter Mylne in 1558 in Scotland. Other notable examples include Jan Hus in 14282 and John Cranmer in 15563. We’ve come a long way, since the first day of Pentecost, when 120 in the upper room were ‘baptized with the Holy Spirit & Fire,’ but that was not the end, it was only the beginning of what God had started in this ‘New & Better’ Covenant relationship of Faith! John’s baptism, was a cleansing in water, a baptism of repentance, but even he declared, “He (meaning Jesus) will baptize you with the Holy Spirit & Fire!” Jesus’ disciples were ‘witnesses’ for Him for three and a half years, but we must remember, He was still living under the Old Covenant until His Death. God wants you and me to be filled and constantly overflowing with His Holy Spirit. Acts 1:4-5
“On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: ‘Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. For John baptized with water, but in a few days, you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’” – Acts 1:4-5
Acts 1:8
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” – Acts 1:8
Acts 2:4
“All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.” – Acts 2:4
Acts 2:38
“Peter replied, ‘Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.’” – Acts 2:38
But even before Jesus went to the cross of Golgotha, He was encouraging people to ask for The Father to pour out His Holy Spirit on them: Luke 11:13
“If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!” – Luke 11:13
We’re not talking about a trickle here and there, but a mighty rushing river. John 7:38-39
“Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.’ By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive.” – John 7:38-39
From 22-24 years after the death of Jesus, Paul wrote the book of Romans and stated: Romans 15:13
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” – Romans 15:13
Jesus is ‘the anchor within the veil,’ He’s The Hope of Israel, The Hope of the nations, The Hope of the world and The Hope that will not disappoint us. Paul, under the influence of the Holy Spirit, wants the God/The Father of Hope/Jesus to ‘FILL’ you and me with ‘ALL’ Holy Spirit ‘JOY’ and ‘PEACE/SHALOM,’ as you believe in, cling to, trust in and rely on Him, He’s The Author & Finisher of our “FAITH.” We’re to ‘work out our Salvation/Yeshua/Jesus, with (reverential) fear and trembling.’ God’s desire is that none would perish and all would come to repentance, so that we could ‘OVERFLOW’ with Jesus, our Living Hope. How? By The Power (Paul says that Jesus Is The Wisdom & Power Of God) Of His Holy Spirit, not just once, but to be continuously being ‘FILLED’ up and pouring out our lives, as a living sacrifice of Glory, Praise & Honor, to His Holy & Precious Name. Are you ‘a child of the Most High God?’Romans 8:14
“For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.” – Romans 8:14
James 1:5
“If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” – James 1:5
Let me encourage you today, if you hear His Voice, do no harden your heart, but allow Him to Bless you, with the purchase that Jesus made for you, me, all in His Church, Let us put aside anything and everything that hinders us from moving onward and upward In Him. Jesus prayed in John 17, that we would be ONE. Paul says, “The Dividing walls are down,” so let’s live like it, red, yellow, black and white, male, female, slave and free, Catholic & Protestant, as the ‘ONE New Man’ of Ephesians, Jew & Gentile, “ONE In Messiah/Christ/The Anointed ONE!” We all believe in the Holy ‘catholic/Universal’ Church, so don’t allow doctrines of men or of demons separate us from The Love Of GOD. 1 Thessalonians 5:19
“Do not quench the Spirit.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:19
Galatians 5:25
“Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.” – Galatians 5:25
Right now we’re strategizing about 10 Days gatherings in Santa Fe (Visit https://www.10days.net ), come September 22, 2025 and ‘Joining Jesus25,’ in New Mexico, October 1-31, 2025 (Visit https://therooftop.org ), so please be in prayer for us and share this information with others.

“DOMINION!”

“DOMINION” April 2025 NM Prayer Connect/ PATH of New Mexico/COG, NM, El Paso, TX & SWIM – South West Indian Ministries of Manuelito, NM!

1 Peter 5:11
New American Standard Bible
11 To Him be dominion forever and ever. Amen.
IN The Beginning, Genesis 1:26-31; 5:1-2; 9:6 and again in Psalm 8:4-5, GOD gives “DOMINION” to Adam, humankind.  The BIG Question asked is, “What is man that You think of him,
And a son of man that You are concerned about him?” Man was created male and female, in ‘The Image & Likeness Of GOD,’ but because of the fall, Our FATHER, Who Art In HEAVEN, In HIS Infinite WISDOM & Understanding, knowing ALL things, past, present and future, had a plan to bring Salvation/Yeshua/JESUS to mankind, before the foundations of the world were laid.  HE SO LOVED The World, that HE Sent HIS ONE & Only Begotten SON to SAVE us from sin and death! HIS thoughts towards us, according to the Psalmist, ‘are more than the grains of sand on the shores.’ HIS Holy & Precious WORD Proclaims, ‘Yet You have made him a little lower than [a] God (Psalm 8:5 LXX angels),
And You crown him with glory and majesty!’ In Scripture, sometimes ‘angels’ are referred to, as ‘messengers of GOD’ or ‘ministering spirits’ and HE crowns us with HIS Glory (HIS Manifest Presence, where there’s FULLNESS of HOLY SPIRIT JOY) and HIS Majesty.  WHAT a ‘Biblical’ statement and HIS WORD Is TRUTH! You and I are ‘spirit beings’ and a soul, in a human body, but when we are ‘Born-Again,’ we become ‘New Creations In CHRIST/Messiah/The Anointed ONE’ & ONE with HIM.  “MAJESTY” signifies GOD’s Greatness, Splendor, Sovereign POWER, HIS Divine Attributes, the Awe-Inspiring Nature Of HIS Presence, Authority or Dignity.  This is not only ‘Good News,’ but it’s GREAT NEWS! Hebrews declares that we are in a “New and Better Covenant,” so let me tell you how BIG ‘The FULLNESS of Redemption’ is!

2 Corinthians 1:24
New American Standard Bible
24 Not that we domineer over your faith, but we are workers with you for your joy; for in your faith you are standing firm.
JOY is The Fruit Of The HOLY SPIRIT, GOD’s Gift to us, just for abiding In HIM.  JESUS Is The Author & Finisher Of our FAITH and The Shield Of FAITH, which is just part of the Armor Of GOD, takes down EVERY Firey dart of the enemy.  The HOLY SPIRIT is working upon, in and through you, for HIS Good Pleasure.  After you have done everything you can to stand, HE tells us to ‘stand therefore’ and we will see The GLORY Of GOD!

Ephesians 1:21
New American Standard Bible
21 far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.
JESUS’ Name is above ALL names and the ONLY Name under Heaven, by which we MUST Be SAVED.  Because of Redemption, HE has given us and ALL Believers, Disciples, Followers of Christ, ALL POWER & Authority.  You and I are ‘Ambassadors’ for HIM, sent by HIM, seen as Pure, HOLY & Blameless In HIS Sight, Righteous and Just, just as if we had never sinned.  This is not just ‘atonement,’ but ‘propitiation/expiation,’ not just a cover of our sin for a year, but the complete and total taking away of it, casting it into the sea of forgetfulness, never to be brought up again!
Jude 8
New American Standard Bible
8 Yet in the same way these people also, dreaming, defile the flesh, reject authority, and speak abusively of angelic [a] majesties.

  1. Jude 1:8 Lit glories

The WARNING is:  “Do NOT be ‘the same,’ as the fallen people in the world,” defiling the flesh, rejecting HIS ‘ALL POWER & Authority,’ that HE purchased for you and me, on The Cross of GOLGATHA/Calvary.  Accept The Gift Of GOD, JESUS, Be REDEEMED By The BLOOD/LIFE Of The LAMB, Who takes away the sins of the world, which we live in, but are not of, because we are of the Commonwealth of Israel, a Royal Priesthood, a HOLY Nation, ‘True Jews, Circumcised of Heart!’ JESUS PRAYED in John 17, that we would be ONE with HIM, just as HE and The FATHER Are ONE.  The CHURCH is Universal, MANY members, but only ONE Body, with ONE Head, Yeshua/Salvation/Jesus, The ONE, Who Is ‘The Same, Yesterday, Today & Forever.’ We ‘ARE NOW,’ ONE In The HOLY SPIRIT/Ghost/Breath & ONE In The LORD!
Jude 25
New American Standard Bible
25 to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority before all time and now and [a] forever. Amen.

  1. Jude 1:25 Lit to all the ages

John 1 declares that The WORD/JESUS, Became Flesh and ‘Dwelt/Abided/Tabernacled’ among us.  Paul the Apostle declares, CHRIST In YOU Is ‘The HOPE Of GLORY,’ The HOPE, Which Is The Anchor within The Veil,  The HOPE Of Israel, The HOPE Of The World, The HOPE Of The Nations, The HOPE that will Not Disappoint us! If we ‘ARE’ ONE with HIM, if HE Is our Head, Who goes before us in ALL things, Is Ever with us, even until the end of Eternity, which there is no end to, then we are in a Great GOD, The ONE TRUE GOD, our SAVIOR, JESUS, Who not only has ALL Glory, Majesty, Dominion & Authority, before ALL time and NOW and FOREVER, then we are In and the above portion of HOLY Script ends with, “AMEN,” So Be It, Let It Be, which is a BIG FAT, YES In JESUS!
Matthew 20:25
New American Standard Bible
25 But Jesus called them to Himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles domineer over them, and [a] those in high position exercise authority over them.

  1. Matthew 20:25 Lit the great ones

JESUS says to HIS Disciples TODAY, “JUST AS THE FATHER HAS SENT ME, so I AM SENDING YOU!” Paul declared, “We have This Treasure, The HOLY SPIRIT, JESUS & The FATHER, In these earthen vessels.” He also said that JESUS Is The WISDOM & POWER Of GOD! ‘Just As,’ in Hebrew, Aramaic or Greek, means ‘JUST AS.’ JESUS Is the Express Image Of GOD, The Radiance Of HIS Glory & The Exact Imprint of HIS Nature (Hebrews 1:3) and you and I have been made In HIS Image, according to Colossians 1:15-29; 3:10.  We’re to put on the new self, created after the Likeness of GOD in true Righteousness and Holiness, according to Ephesians 4:23-24.  We carried the image of the earthly man, so we shall carry the image of the Heavenly Man, as stated in 1 Corinthians 15:49, even in Humility , Obedience, death and GOD’s Exaltation of HIM, according to Philippians 2:5-11.  Romans 8:29 says you and I are being conformed to the Likeness of HIS SON and 2 Corinthians 3:18 states that we are being transformed Into HIS Likeness by The SPIRIT Of The LORD, reflecting HIS LOVE! HE’s The Firstborn over ALL Creation and the First Fruits from the dead, the Blessed Assurance that we will rise again to be with HIM Forever.  ALL POWER & Authority (in ALL of the original languages that The WORD Of GOD is written in) means ‘ALL.’ When The FATHER looks at you and me, HE Sees JESUS, our LIFE is Hid In HIM, we are COVERED In The BLOOD/HIS Eternal, Everlasting, Abundant, Resurrection LIFE.  If we were Baptized In HIM, we have died to ourselves, are crucified with CHRIST, nevertheless we’re Alive In JESUS and Living The RESURRECTION LIFE, ‘Just As,’ FATHER, SON & HOLY SPIRIT have been, are and will be ONE into ALL of ETERNITY, Ruling & Reigning Together with HIM, Joint Heirs with JESUS, seated in Heavenly Places NOW, yet with both feet on the ground, to shine The LIGHT and dispel the darkness + to tell others that their sins are forgiven, GOD LOVES them and HE’s CALLING them out of this fallen world and Into HIS Marvelous LIGHT Of LIFE!  Peter tells us that GOD has given us EVERYTHING we need to live our Life unto HIM, HE’s MORE than Enough, but we have to work out this Salvation with Reverential (HOLY) Fear and trembling, because Judgement begins at The House Of GOD, we are without excuse and we will ALL stand before The Judgement Seat Of CHRIST! The time is short, Paul and the writer of Hebrews (The HOLY SPIRIT) proclaim that we are “Living In The LAST DAYS” & John the Beloved writes in HIS Epistle that “We Are Living In The LAST HOUR,” so to put things into a good ‘Biblical’ perspective, JESUS Is Coming Again SOON! If you or someone you know would like to have a prayer gathering in or around New Mexico, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me.

THIS Is The YEAR OF JUBILEE!

THIS Is The YEAR OF JUBILEE!

THIS Is The YEAR OF JUBILEE!

Mark Tross

Subject: THIS Is The YEAR OF JUBILEE – March 2025 NM Prayer Connect/PATH – NM/COG, NM & El Paso, TX/SW Indian Ministries Newsletter!

Sisters & Brothers In Jesus,

Leviticus 25:8 ‘You are also to count off seven Sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years, so that you have the time of the seven Sabbaths of years, that is, forty-nine years. 9 You shall then sound a ram’s horn abroad on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement you shall sound a horn all through your land. 10 So you shall consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim a release throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you, and each of you shall return to his own property, and each of you shall return to his family (NASB 1995).

THIS year, 2025 & 5785 on the Biblical Calendar are Jubilee Years, meaning ‘Grace,’ Forgiveness, Acceptance, Presence, Enablement, Freedom and Completion! Paul the Apostle wrote, while under the influence of God’s Holy Spirit, in 1 Corinthians 13:13 But now faith, hope, and love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love (NASB 1995).
Because GOD Is LOVE, the following scriptures confirm HIS LOVE for HIS Creation:

John 3:16
NASB 1995 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
John 13:34NASB 1995 “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us (NASB 1995).

The Father demonstrated HIS LOVE, by sending JESUS to pay the penalty for our sin. HE became sin for us, so that we could become ‘The Righteousness Of GOD In Christ!’ HE came to set the captives FREE Indeed and that’s what the year of jubilee is all about. On March 18, 1975, the Reverend, Doctor Billy Graham spoke to the 1st Nations Peoples in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA and said,

“When this sleeping giant awakens, the world will see the greatest revival it has ever known!”

This year, March 28-29th, we’re calling together all Pueblo and Reservation Native Americans, those in Tribal outreach ministries and intercessors, from all nations, peoples, tribes and tongues, to come together as ONE, according to Jesus’ John 17 Prayer, to Demonstrate and Activate this Prophetic Word. It’s the ’50th Anniversary Celebration,’ The Year Of JUBILEE and we’re believing that GOD is going to release HIS Holy Spirit upon ALL who attend this Historic Gathering. GOD watches over HIS Word to perform It and like the Ezekiel vision of the dry bones, we’re gathering together in Unity, according to Psalm 133, so that GOD will command HIS Blessing, upon, in and through HIS original people of the land, Praying for HIM to hear from Heaven and heal our land! Joel 2 and Acts 2 are about to come to completion, as we seek The LORD, while HE may be found. We’re entering into a new era in church history, closer now to the 2nd coming, than when we first believed and preparing the saints for service in the kingdom of GOD, making disciples, planting churches and ushering in the SOON Return of Yeshua/Jesus/Salvation. HE came to usher in The NEW & BETTER Covenant (SUBSCRIBE @CBNetMedia @YouTube to WATCH ‘The Voice Of ONE,’ & SEE our “NEW & BETTER Covenant SERIES”) and ascended to Heaven, so that The Promise Of The Father, HIS Holy Spirit (The Spirit Of GRACE), would be poured out on ALL flesh, ALL Nations, ALL Peoples, ALL Tribes & ALL Tongues! GOD wishes that NONE would perish, but that ALL would Come to Repentance, so like the sons of Issachar, we MUST discern the times and seasons in which we are living. Don’t let this opportunity pass you by!

Did you know there are only 21 Pueblo Tribes (Original People Of The Land) in America and 19 of them are here in New Mexico? The Ysleta del Sur Pueblo in El Paso, TX, came out of the Isleta Pueblo, located just south of Albuquerque, NM, at the time of the Pueblo Revolt (known as The 1st American Revolution) in 1680 and the Hopi Pueblo people in NE Arizona are considered ‘The Ancients,’ because they are the oldest living culture in the United States and have a history that spans thousands of years! There are 575 ‘recognized’ Tribes in America, so the time is NOW, to invite every Pueblo/Reservation person you know, those involved in 1st Nations ministries and intercessors, across the nation and around the world, to join in on this Jubilee Year Celebration. Register today @ https://www.christianbody.net/giant and PRAY that the world will see the greatest awakening and revival it has ever known! If you or someone you know would like to hold a prayer meeting in or around NM, don’t hesitate to contact me.

THANKS & BLESSINGS with SHALOM,

“The Time Is Short!”

What will you do different in 2025?

​What will you do different in 2025? January Newsletter for NM Prayer Connect / Prayer At The Heart of NM / COG, NM, El Paso, TX & SW Indian Ministries!

Philippians 3:13 [a]Brothers and sisters, I do not consider that I have made it my own yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the [heavenly] prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. 15 All of us who are mature [pursuing spiritual perfection] should have this attitude. And if in any respect you have a different attitude, that too God will make clear to you. 16 Only let us stay true to what we have already attained.

17 Brothers and sisters, together follow my example and observe those who live by the pattern we gave you. 18 For there are many, of whom I have often told you, and now tell you even with tears, who live as enemies of the cross of Christ [rejecting and opposing His way of salvation], 19 whose fate is destruction, whose god is their belly [their worldly appetite, their sensuality, their vanity], and whose glory is in their shame—who focus their mind on earthly and temporal things. 20 But [we are different, because] our citizenship is in heaven. And from there we eagerly await [the coming of] the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; 21 who, by exerting that power which enables Him even to subject everything to Himself, will [not only] transform [but completely refashion] our earthly bodies so that they will be like His glorious resurrected body (AMP).

Like Paul the Apostle, as we enter into 2025, you and I need to be “forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead!” We need to “press on toward the goal to win the [heavenly] prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” If we are to follow the pattern set before us, as Jesus and His disciples demonstrated, shouldn’t we ask Him to teach us to pray? In His John 17 prayer, we are to be One, just as Jesus and The Father are One, In The Holy Spirit and He certainly was a man of prayer! Below are the only two recorded examples in Holy Script, of the outline or blueprint, for us to use in our regular prayer times and an example of how not to pray. Hoping for God to pour new wine into old wineskins isn’t going to happen and The Word tells us that He is wanting to do a new thing in our day, so how about we set aside old patterns, doctrines of men and commit to moving in obedience to His Spirit. Messiah taught us to ask, seek and knock and the bible tells us, “You have not, because you ask not!” Starting January 1-21, 6pm MT @christianbody.net @projectpray.org & @CBNetMedia @YouTube and other social media sites on the internet or by phone, you are invited to join us for America’s Prayer Meeting, so prayerfully read over the following scripture verses, invite others and spread the word, because last year we had over 60,000 people join us, in 60 nations and 300 people gave their lives to The LORD. Each night we’ll have different ministry leaders and guests, covering specific topics for prayer, from local, state, nationwide and international ministries. Paul encourages all of humankind, everywhere, to lift up holy hands and to go boldly into God’s Throne room of grace and mercy. The Word Of God tells us to pray without ceasing and obedience always brings God’s blessings, so what better thing could you do different this year, than to talk to God, face to face, hear from Him and each other. Remember, one can put a thousand to flight and two can put ten thousand to flight, imagine what God can do with thousands in agreement, praying according to His Word, will, Way and believing that He will do exceedingly, abundantly, above and beyond all that we could ask, do or think, because He watches over His Word to perform It! The past year is gone, so let’s look unto Jesus, The Author & Finisher of our faith in 2025, because He cares for us. Did you know that the great men and women of faith in Hebrews 11 are incomplete without us? At the end of that chapter, God says that He has something better in store for us, so let’s seek The LORD, while He may be found and expect great and mighty things to come in this New Year!

Matthew 6:7-13

The Lord’s Prayer

7 And when you pray, do not heap up phrases (multiply words, repeating the same ones over and over) as the Gentiles do, for they think they will be heard for their much speaking. [I Kings 18:25-29.] 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.

9 Pray, therefore, like this: Our Father Who is in heaven, hallowed (kept holy) be Your name. 10 Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven ( 1 left, remitted, and let go of the debts, and have 2 given up resentment against) our debtors. 13 And lead (bring) us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

1 Kings 18:25-29

The Prophets of Baal Defeated

25 Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, Choose one bull for yourselves and dress it first, for you are many; and call on the name of your god, but put no fire under it. 26 So they took the bull given them, dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning until noon, saying, O Baal, hear and answer us! But there was no voice; no one answered. And they leaped upon or limped about the altar they had made. 27 At noon Elijah mocked them, saying, Cry aloud, for he is a god; either he is musing, or he has gone aside, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is asleep and must be awakened. 28 And they cried aloud and cut themselves after their custom with knives and lances until the blood gushed out upon them. 29 Midday passed, and they played the part of prophets until the time for offering the evening sacrifice, but there was no voice, no answer, no one who paid attention.

Luke 5:33-39

Amplified Bible

33 Then they said to Him, “The disciples of John [the Baptist] often practice fasting and offer prayers [of special petition], and so do the disciples of the Pharisees; but Yours eat and drink.” 34 Jesus said to them, “Can you make the wedding guests of the bridegroom fast while he is with them? 35 But days [for mourning] will come when the bridegroom is [forcefully] taken away from them. They will fast in those days.” 36 He also told them a parable: “No one tears a piece of cloth from a new garment and puts it on an old one; otherwise he will both tear the new, and the piece from the new will not match the old. 37 And no one puts new wine into old [a]wineskins; otherwise the new [fermenting] wine will [expand and] burst the skins and it will be spilled out, and the skins will be ruined. 38 But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins. 39 And no one, after drinking old wine, wishes for new; for he says, ‘The old is fine.’”

Footnotes

Luke 5:37 See note Matt 9:17.

Matthew 9:17

Amplified Bible

17 Nor is new wine put into old [a]wineskins [that have lost their elasticity]; otherwise the wineskins burst, and the [fermenting] wine spills and the wineskins are ruined. But new wine is put into fresh wineskins, so both are preserved.”

Luke 11:1-13

Amplified Bible

Instruction about Prayer

11 It happened that while Jesus was praying in a certain place, after He finished, one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray just as John also taught his disciples.” 2 He said to them,

“When you pray, [a]say:

‘[b]Father, [c]hallowed be Your name.

[d]Your kingdom come.

3

‘Give us each day our [e]daily bread.

4

‘And forgive us our sins,

For we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us [who has offended or wronged us].

And [f]lead us not into temptation [[g]but rescue us from evil].’”

Parable of Persistence

5 Then He said to them, “Suppose one of you has a friend, and goes to him at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves [of bread]; 6 for a friend of mine who is on a journey has just come to visit me, and I have nothing to serve him’; 7 and from inside he answers, ‘Do not bother me; the door has already been shut and my children and I are in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything.’ 8 I tell you, even though he will not get up and give him anything just because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence and boldness he will get up and give him whatever he needs.

9 “So I say to you, ask and keep on asking, and it will be given to you; seek and keep on seeking, and you will find; knock and keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who [h]keeps on asking [persistently], receives; and he who keeps on seeking [persistently], finds; and to him who keeps on knocking [persistently], the door will be opened. 11 What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead of a fish? 12 Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13 If you, then, being evil [that is, sinful by nature], know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask and continue to ask Him!”

If you or someone you know would like to hold a prayer meeting or outreach in NM or the surrounding areas, please don’t hesitate to contact me. As I write this, it’s officially the 7th day of Christmas, the 6th day of Hanukkah (John 10:22) & the last day of 2024. Whatever you’re going through, keep going forward, because God promises to get us through it, you are not alone! Jesus will command His blessing upon, in and through us, as we gather together in unity, according to Psalm 133. May His Face shine upon us all in this new year, 2025!

Shalom,

Sisters & Brothers In Jesus,

Let me clarify first and foremost that I don’t believe in ‘luck.’ What I hope to bring out in this writing is that in the presidential election of 2024, New Mexico appears to still be a ‘blue’ state, but if you look closer and break the results down by counties, there are only 13 counties in our state that remained blue and 45% of Native Americans, for the first time in American history voted for Republicans! Having clearly stated these truths, this means that 20 counties are ‘red,’ which concludes the majority of New Mexicans voted for ‘life,’ against the radical LGBTQ+ agenda, we want to be energy independent and proved we’re sick and tired of the horrible economic conditions and ‘cancel culture’ that we’ve been forced to deal with over the past four years of the soon to be gone Biden/Harris administration.  The ultimate question is, What does this mean for us from a biblical perspective?

The number 13 in the Bible has multiple meanings, including:

  • Unlucky: In the King James Bible, 13 is often seen as an unlucky number that represents evil, wickedness, and rebellion.
  • Judas: Judas is considered the thirteenth apostle, and is always named last in the list of apostles (of course, this is counting Jesus, as number one, being the Apostle of our faith).
  • The Israelites: The Israelites marched around Jericho 13 times before the city walls fell (they marched around the city one time each day for 6 days and 7 times on the 7th day).
  • Ishmael: Ishmael, Abraham’s illegitimate son (not the son of The Promise), was circumcised at the age of 13.

In Judaism, 13 is considered a lucky or spiritually significant number. For example, Abraham entered into 13 covenants with God through the commandment of Bris Milah, the covenant of ritual circumcision. At the age of 13, a Jewish boy becomes a bar mitzvah (a son [or ‘bat,’ daughter] of The Commandments), which marks the beginning of his or her religious and social obligations in Jewish life.

The number 13 is symbolic of rebellion and lawlessness in the Bible. Nimrod, the mighty hunter who was “before the Lord” (meaning he tried to take the place of God, Genesis 10:9), was generation 13 in Ham’s line (Ham was one of Noah’s three sons who survived the flood).

Rio Arriba, Taos, Santa Fe, Los Alamos, Sandoval, McKinley, Cibola, Mora, San Miguel, Guadalupe, Grant, Dona Ana & Bernalillo Counties (we are calling you out), get ready for what’s coming in 2025 & beyond, because the 20 red counties are focused on you! Do you know what the number 20 in the bible means?

Significance of Number 20: The biblical number 20 represents a period of waiting, completeness, military readiness, and the age of maturity. Hebrew Meaning: In Hebrew, the letter Kaph (20) symbolizes strength, provision, blessings, the fulfillment of promises, and the milestone of reaching full maturity.

All the promises of God are yes and amen, in Christ Jesus! Believers in NM, across America and around the world have been waiting on The LORD to renew their strength.  The culmination of all things are coming together in our day, the battle may be waging, but the Church wins the war.  Every member of the body of Christ is going to do their part, to come into the fullness of GOD, the one new man, Jew & Gentile together as mature followers of Messiah.  In our weakness HE shows HIS strength.  Yahweh is our provider, Who will fulfill HIS promises, so get ready, because Heaven & Earth shall be filled with the glory, the manifest presence of GOD and every eye will see HIM, because HE is coming again soon!

Starting January 1, 2025 @ChristianBody.Net will be partnering @ProjectPray.Orgthe Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and others for 21 Days of Prayer (online worldwide).

Saturday, March 22, 2025 we’ll be celebrating the Jubilee Year/50th Anniversary of Billy Graham coming to NM and speaking to the Native American Tribes, “When this sleeping giant awakens the world will see the greatest revival it has ever known!” Do you want to be part of the greatest awakening, revival and harvest of souls that this world has ever known?

If you or someone you know would like to have a prayer event in or around our state, don’t hesitate to contact me!

Happy Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Merry Messiahmas & a BLESSED 2025,

Mark Tross

Land, Land! Jeremiah 22:29-30

Sisters & Brothers In Jesus,

This Newsletter explores the biblical significance of land in Jeremiah’s proclamation and its application in our modern life.

O land, land, land, hear the word of the LORD! Thus says the LORD: ‘Write this man down as childless, a man who shall not succeed in his days, for none of his offspring shall succeed in sitting on the throne of David and ruling again in Judah.’ Jeremiah 22:29-30

“Nobody ever outgrows Scripture; the book widens and deepens with our years.” —Charles Spurgeon

We are participants in a divine dialogue, a conversation that transcends time and space, a discourse that connects us to the heart of our Creator. Our focus is on a passage from the book of Jeremiah, a prophet who faithfully and fearlessly delivered God’s message to His people. Jeremiah’s words, though they were spoken millennia ago, still resonate with us today, still challenge us, still comfort us, still call us to a deeper relationship with our Lord. In Jeremiah 22:29-30, we read: “O land, land, land, hear the word of the LORD! Thus says the LORD: ‘Write this man down as childless, a man who shall not succeed in his days, for none of his offspring shall succeed in sitting on the throne of David and ruling again in Judah.'”                     This passage may seem distant, perhaps even irrelevant to our modern lives. Yet, within these verses lie profound truths about the biblical significance of land, the relevance of Jeremiah’s proclamation, and how we can apply these land principles in our modern life. Charles Spurgeon, the Prince of Preachers, once said, “Nobody ever outgrows Scripture; the book widens and deepens with our years.” This is the wonder of the Word of God – it is timeless, it is alive, it is transformative. It speaks to us in our joy and in our sorrow, in our triumphs and in our trials, in our certainty and in our confusion. It is our guiding light, our source of truth, our wellspring of wisdom.  Let us now turn our hearts and minds to the Word of God as we seek to understand the biblical significance of land, the relevance of Jeremiah’s proclamation, and the application of these principles in our modern life. Biblical Significance of Land In the Bible, land is more than just a physical entity; it is a symbol of God’s promise and provision. When God called Abraham out of Ur, He promised him a land flowing with milk and honey. This land, Canaan, was not just a geographical location; it was a tangible representation of God’s covenant with His people. It was a place where they could live in peace and prosperity, where they could worship God freely, where they could grow and multiply. Land, in the biblical sense, is also a place of divine encounter. It was on Mount Moriah that Abraham was willing to sacrifice his son Isaac, demonstrating his unwavering faith and obedience. It was on Mount Sinai that Moses received the Ten Commandments, a divine decree that would guide the Israelites in their relationship with God and with each other. It was on the land of Israel that Jesus performed miracles, preached the good news, and ultimately gave His life for our salvation. Moreover, land is a place of inheritance. The Promised Land was not just for Abraham; it was for his descendants as well. It was a legacy that was passed down from generation to generation, a heritage that was rooted in God’s promise. This inheritance was not just about the physical land; it was about the spiritual blessings that came with it – the presence of God, the provision of God, the protection of God. However, the land also had conditions. The Israelites were to obey God’s commandments and live according to His statutes. If they did, they would enjoy the blessings of the land. If they didn’t, they would face the consequences – exile, famine, defeat. This was not a punitive measure; it was a corrective one. God wanted His people to live in obedience and righteousness, not in rebellion and wickedness. In the context of Jeremiah’s proclamation, the land was under threat because of the disobedience of the king and his people. They had turned away from God, worshipped idols, and oppressed the poor. As a result, God declared that the king would be childless and that none of his descendants would sit on the throne. This was a severe judgment, one that would have far-reaching implications for the land and its people. In our modern life, we may not have a physical land like the Israelites did, but we do have a spiritual land – our relationship with God. This is our promised land, our place of divine encounter, our inheritance. And just like the Israelites, we are called to live in obedience and righteousness. If we do, we will enjoy the blessings of our spiritual land. If we don’t, we will face the consequences. So, as we reflect on the biblical significance of land, let us remember that it is more than just a physical entity; it is a symbol of God’s promise and provision, a place of divine encounter, a legacy of inheritance, and a call to obedience and righteousness. Let us also remember that our spiritual land – our relationship with God – is our most valuable possession, one that we should cherish, nurture, and protect.

Jeremiah’s proclamation in the scripture is a potent message. It’s a message that echoes through the corridors of time, reverberating with a resonance that is as relevant today as it was when first spoken. The prophet Jeremiah, a conduit of divine communication, was tasked with delivering this message to the people of Judah. The first aspect of Jeremiah’s proclamation that we must consider is the context in which it was delivered. Jeremiah was speaking to a people who were in a state of spiritual decline. They had turned away from God, forsaken His commandments, and were pursuing their own desires. Jeremiah’s words were a divine rebuke, a call to repentance. The proclamation was not just a prediction of doom, but a plea for change. In the midst of this spiritual decline, Jeremiah’s words were a stark reminder of the consequences of disobedience. The declaration that the man would be written down as childless and that none of his offspring would succeed in sitting on the throne of David was a direct result of their disobedience. This was not a random punishment, but a direct consequence of their actions. The second aspect of Jeremiah’s proclamation that we must consider is its prophetic nature. Jeremiah was not merely a social commentator or a political analyst. He was a prophet, a mouthpiece of God. His words were not his own, but those of the Lord. This proclamation was not just a statement of fact, but a prophetic utterance. It was a glimpse into the future, a revelation of what was to come. This prophetic nature of Jeremiah’s proclamation underscores the sovereignty of God. It reminds us that God is in control, that He knows the end from the beginning, and that His plans and purposes will prevail. This is a comforting truth, especially in times of uncertainty and turmoil. The third aspect of Jeremiah’s proclamation that we must consider is its personal nature. Jeremiah’s words were not just a general announcement to the masses, but a personal message to the individual. The man who was to be written down as childless was not just a faceless figure, but a real person with real feelings and real fears. This personal nature of Jeremiah’s proclamation underscores the personal nature of our relationship with God. God is not a distant deity, but a personal God who knows us intimately and cares for us deeply. He speaks to us not just through grand proclamations, but through personal messages that touch our hearts and transform our lives.

Now, let’s take a closer look at a key term from our main scripture passage. The term “succeed” in the original Hebrew is “tsalach.” This word carries the connotations of advancing, prospering, making progress. It’s used in various other passages in the Bible, such as in Joshua 1:8, where it’s said that meditating on God’s law day and night will make one’s way prosperous (tsalach). In Psalm 1:3, the righteous person is likened to a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither – whatever they do prospers (tsalach). The fourth aspect of Jeremiah’s proclamation that we must consider is its universal application. Jeremiah’s words were not just relevant to the people of Judah, but to all people in all times. The principles contained in this proclamation are universal in nature. They apply to us today just as much as they did to the people of Judah. This universal application of Jeremiah’s proclamation underscores the timeless nature of God’s Word. The Bible is not just a historical document, but a living and active word that speaks to us today. It is relevant to our lives, applicable to our situations, and transformative in its power. The fifth and final aspect of Jeremiah’s proclamation that we must consider is its transformative potential. Jeremiah’s words were not just informative, but transformative. They were not just meant to be heard, but to be heeded. They were not just meant to inform, but to transform. This transformative potential of Jeremiah’s proclamation underscores the transformative power of God’s Word. The Bible is not just a book to be read, but a message to be lived. It is not just a source of information, but a catalyst for transformation. It has the power to change our lives, to shape our character, and to mold us into the image of Christ.

As we move into the heart of our discussion, let us consider the relevance of ‘land’ in the Bible. The Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, is replete with references to land. Land, in the biblical sense, is more than just a geographical location or a piece of property. It is a place of promise, a place of provision, a place of presence. It is where God’s covenant with His people is actualized, where His blessings are manifested, and where His presence is experienced. The first man, Adam, was placed in the Garden of Eden, a land flowing with everything he needed. Abraham was called out of his homeland to a land that God would show him, a land that would become the inheritance of his descendants. The Israelites, after years of bondage in Egypt, were led to a land flowing with milk and honey. The land, in these instances, was not just a physical place but a spiritual reality, a tangible expression of God’s faithfulness to His promises. In the modern context, we may not be called to physically move to a new land like Abraham or the Israelites. But we are called to live in the land of God’s promises, to dwell in the land of His provision, to inhabit the land of His presence. This is not a land that can be located on a map or owned as a property. It is a spiritual land, a land that we enter through faith in Christ, a land that we inhabit as we walk in obedience to His Word. As we live in this land, we experience God’s promises in our lives. We see His provision in our needs. We feel His presence in our journey. We become living testimonies of His faithfulness, His goodness, His love. The renowned Christian author, C.S. Lewis, once said, “The great thing, if one can, is to stop regarding all the unpleasant things as interruptions of one’s ‘own,’ or ‘real’ life. The truth is of course that what one calls the interruptions are precisely one’s real life—the life God is sending one day by day.” This quote beautifully encapsulates the idea of living in the land of God’s promises, provision, and presence. The challenges, the interruptions, the unexpected turns in our journey are not detours from the land but part of the land itself. They are the terrain that shapes us, the soil that nurtures us, the landscape that reveals the depth of God’s love for us. As we navigate this land, we are not alone. We have the Word of God as our map, the Holy Spirit as our guide, and the community of believers as our companions. We learn to trust in God’s promises, to rely on His provision, to rest in His presence. We learn to see every circumstance, every situation, every moment as an opportunity to experience God, to grow in faith, to shine His light. So, let us live in the land of God’s promises, provision, and presence. Let us walk in faith, in obedience, in love. Let us be the people of the land, the people of God. Let us be the living testimonies of His faithfulness, His goodness, His love. Let us be the bearers of His promises, the recipients of His provision, the dwellers of His presence. Let us be the inhabitants of the land, the land that is more than just a geographical location or a piece of property, the land that is a spiritual reality, a tangible expression of God’s faithfulness to His promises.

Let’s remember that the Word of God is not just a historical document or a religious text. It’s a living, breathing message from our Creator, a love letter from the heart of God. It’s as relevant today as it was when Jeremiah walked the earth. Our God is not a distant deity, but a close and personal Father who cares about every detail of our lives. He knows our struggles, our fears, our dreams, and our desires. He’s with us in every season, in every circumstance, in every moment. The land principles are not just about physical territories; they’re about the territory of our hearts. God wants to rule and reign in our hearts. He wants to plant seeds of faith, hope, and love in the soil of our souls. He wants to cultivate a harvest of righteousness, peace, and joy in our lives. He wants to establish His kingdom within us, a kingdom not of this world, but of His heavenly realm. So, let’s open our hearts to Him. Let’s surrender our lives to Him. Let’s allow His Word to shape us, to guide us, to transform us. Let’s trust in His goodness, in His love, in His grace. Let’s remember that we are His beloved children, heirs to His eternal kingdom, recipients of His divine promises.  Let’s pray for us to decrease and for Him to increase in our hearts and minds, for His Kingdom to come and His Will to be done on Earth, as It Is In HEAVEN.  Don’t forget October 2-4 is Rosh Ha’Shanah (Jewish New Year), the National Prayer Assembly is the tenth & eleventh in Washington, October 11-12 is Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement), the 12th is a ‘Million Women’ at The Mall in DC & Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) is October 16-23! If you or someone you know would like to have a prayer gathering in or around New Mexico, don’t hesitate to contact me.

Thanks & Blessings with Shalom,

“There Is Nothing ‘NEW’ Under The Sun.” – January 2024 Newsletter!

“There Is Nothing ‘NEW’ Under The Sun.”
Happy ‘NEW’ Year 2024!
             While most of the world celebrated a ‘NEW’-born babe, wrapped in swaddling clothes, placed in a feeding trough, The Perfect Gift Of God, given to ALL that He Loves, I couldn’t get over how quickly we passed from 2023 to the present, but may have missed The Presence!
The word “new” in the Bible has multiple meanings:
  •  Chadhash
     In the Old Testament, the word “chadhash” is commonly translated as “new” and means “fresh,”   “bright,” or “new”.
  •  Newness
     For Paul, “newness” implies resurrection. It can also refer to the new age, or the kingdom of God   that comes with Jesus.
  •  New creation
     Paul wrote that “if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has   come!” (2 Cor 5:17).
  •  New heavens and a new earth
     John looks for new heavens and a new earth because the first ones have passed away (Rev   21:1).
Other Bible verses that mention a new beginning include: 
  • Ephesians 4:22-24
  • Lamentations 3:22-23
  • Isaiah 43:18-19
  • 2 Corinthians 4:16-17
  • Genesis 1:31a
  • Colossians 3:9-11
  • Revelation 21:1-3
           Personally, I was born in ‘NEW’-ark, ‘NEW’ Jersey, got saved and baptized in ‘NEW’ Milford, moved to ‘NEW’ Mexico, have been a ‘NEW’ creation in Christ, since 1982, am presently celebrating the ‘NEW’ Year 2024, after celebrating the ‘NEW” Year 5784, in September 2023 and I’m literally heading toward the spring to celebrate the death of our Passover Lamb, Jesus, which God told Moses (*Exodus 12:2 says, “This month is the beginning of months for you; it shall be the first month of your year”.) would be ‘raised up’ and take away our sins, as far as the east is to the west and never to be brought up again, cast into the sea of forgetfulness and the proof is His resurrection that Sunday, on the feast of first fruits, counting 50 days up to Pentecost, when the promise of The Father, His Holy Spirit was poured out on all flesh!
           The ‘This Is [the beginning of] That,’ of Joel 2, proclaimed by The Apostle Peter in Acts 2, is still being played out in our day, which is why I believe the enemy is going after our children today, because Herod couldn’t wait to kill the babies in Bethlehem, when Messiah was born and Satan wants to distort The Truth Of God’s Word, by taking away the true identity of the sons and daughters, who God says are going to prophesy [telling forth the divine counsels], he doesn’t want the young men to see visions (divinely granted appearances) or the old men to dream ‘divinely suggested’ dreams.  The accuser of the brethren and the sisterhood does not want the men & women servants of God to prophecy [telling forth, predicting future events pertaining especially to God’s kingdom].
           I don’t know about you, but I’m waiting for a ‘NEW’ Heaven and a ‘NEW’ Earth, according to Isaiah 65:17 and in the Revelation of Jesus Christ, the last book of the bible, God’s going to give us a ‘NEW’ name and He’s making everything ‘NEW’ – Revelation 21:5.  Jeremiah prophesied of the ‘NEW’ Covenant, which Hebrews tells us is the ‘NEW’ & Better Covenant, so I leave you with the below scriptures to read and meditate on + a footnote at the bottom of this page to prayerfully consider, but please understand, The Word Of God states that no one scripture stands on it’s own interpretation, so like Job’s friends, I would say their words are certainly true, from their own perspective, but not Holy Spirit Truth and for all Solomon’s Wisdom, we all fall short of the glory, but clearly there are many ‘NEW’ things recorded in Holy Script, pointing to ‘NEW’ things that happened, are happening and those that will happen and that’s The Truth!
           PLEASE, Prayerfully consider joining us for the 21 Days of Prayer online and via phone, from January 1-21, 2024 (information is available @ https://www.christianbody.net ) 6:30-8:30pm MT, 5:30-7:30pm PT & 8:30-10:30pm EST – a ’21 Days Of Prayer’ Prayer Guide is available for FREE @ https://www.projectpray.org , so Invite EVERYONE you know from EVERYWHERE, across America & around the World, as we pray for a true spiritual awakening and revival to come to the USA, Israel and the World in 2024 + prayerfully consider taking on the 30 Minute Prayer Challenge @ https://www.prayerattheheart.org – for those living in ‘NEW’ Mexico, if you or someone you know would like to hold a prayer gathering in or around our state, don’t hesitate to contact me!
May God’s Richest Blessings be yours in 2024,

Ezekiel 11:19
 I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them;
Ezekiel 36:26
 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you;
Isaiah 40:31
 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.
Revelation 43:19
 See, I am doing a new thing!
*Ezekiel 40:1 contains a phrase, “the head of the year” (KJV) or “the beginning of the year” (New King James Version [NKJV]), in concert with a date, the tenth day of the month, which Judaism identifies as Tishri, making this the Day of Atonement.  In this above statement out of Holy Script, I would ask the question, “Why does ‘Judaism’ still celebrate ‘The Head Of The Year’ in the fall, when God clearly told Moses in Exodus 12:2 that from now on it would be in the spring @ Passover?”
