A Word from the Executive Director

As the days of 2011 dwindle to a remaining few and we head into the holidays, our focus begins to shift to the new and challenging year of 2012. Whoever you are listening to and following in the prophetic news, prayer must become a consistent investment. Thank you for all your prayers for the Nita Johnson Gatherings and ‘prayer alert watch’ for Seattle and Portland! You can pull up her good report from all the intercession that appealed to God’s mercy for our Nation. [For further information or to register for the next GOE, email: worldforjesus@bcglobal.net / or contact: 559-435-2423.] We are by no means finished with all the current intercessional needs for our nation and the nation of Israel!

Jim Wilder reminds us: “In the Kingdom of God, things work the opposite of how we think they ought to work. In the Psalms God asks. “How long will you sons of men turn My Glory into shame?” Satan wanted to take God’s glory; that’s how evil started out. God intended us to have glory; but those who ‘try to steal’ God’s glory, end up in shame. The more you try to grab the glory of God, the more you are going to get this backwards.” God challenges us: ‘How long will you love ‘worthlessness’? In other words, the things that we think are going to give us glory and make us look good, God says, ‘that’s going to make you look worthless! Once you have the perspective of our Savior being the foundation of ‘your glory’, everything else that you want to accomplish falls into place. Being a son/daughter of the Most High God in the Universe... is the point of our entire existence.”

Thou made him a little lower than the angels, Thou crowned him with glory and honor, and did set him over the works of Thy Hands. Hebrews 2:71

We are already anticipating our Spring Conference, which will be announced this coming January. Save the dates: April 20th & 21st; we’ll get back to our normal conference schedule which is: Friday evening and all day Saturday, concluding at 6:00p.m.

Thank you so much for your generous giving to Steppin’ In Foundation this year. It is our desire to cover as many pro-bono and reduced fee counseling cases that we can and your donations enable us to do this.

As you prepare for the holidays, I want to encourage you to keep our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ as the foundation of your ‘glory’!

His blessings and ours,

Brenda Dianne Hagstrom, Executive Director
