Aloha and Blessings, Faith Family Ohana~
 
How did November fall upon us so quickly?  As I think and reflect on our church, I can’t help but be extremely grateful for all of you and your  diligence over the years.  Your lives truly leave a mark to the world signifying faithfulness, strength and perseverance.
 
Ephesians 4:23 (AMP) instructs us to be continually renewed in the spirit of your mind, having a fresh, untarnished mental and spiritual attitude.  This is key to kingdom living and overcoming.
 
When our minds are being renewed daily and we take our Father’s thoughts as ours, we have a built-in filter that will delete, trash and       remove toxic thoughts, suggestions and mindsets that were sent by the enemy to defeat us.  This is a fulltime job, but the rewards and benefits it brings are priceless!
 
Isaiah 60:1 (NKJ) says to “Arise, shine; for your light has come!”  The word, “Arise” in Hebrew means a command word; to get yourself to a higher level!  At higher levels are greater revelations for us, not to mention safety and protection.  “Arise” also means, “first things first!” 
 
For some of you, the Word is saying, “Arise, stand up, move forward, take your military stand and make movement from the areas and strongholds that have held you back!”  It’s simply just taking a first step away from  depression, spiritual lethargy, discouragement, and fiery darts to your mind and get free!  Silent Christians are failing Christians; meaning, we must release our faith words daily to call those things which be not as though they were!  Hallelujah!
 
Continue to stand strong, pray, renew your mind by daily reading His Word and NEVER retreat or give up!
 
In His love,
