Yvonne Jones called me to ask everyone to pray for Renee Jones. Renee had surgery in Houston on 10-20-2021. She was recovering so she traveled to Gainesville to be with her mom (Yvonne). On 10-29, Renee had extensive internal bleeding. She had lost a lot of blood and had to be rushed to the hospital. She had a broken artery in her chest the doctor said if she had got there 15 minutes later, she probably wouldn’t have survived. Praise God for answered prayer.
Thanks to all of you who are prayer warriors. Jesus states in scripture in Matthew 7:7:
7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
8 For every one that asked receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
Jesus did numerous miracles. As we share our experiences with each other, we see that numerous miracles continue to occur every day. One of our friends had the Covid virus. She went to the doctor and her doctor refused to give her anything except vitamin C & zinc. She took some Ivomec & was well in 2 days.
Currently, Ivermectin has already been adopted by 25 percent of the world’s countries to prevent and treat COVID-19. Bangladesh, where Ivermectin is broadly used in almost every home, enjoys a 99 percent lower per capita death rate from COVID-19 than the US. Bangladesh, with 160 million inhabitants, has half the US population. However, it has merely 10,000 COVID-19 deaths. Contrast that with nearly 580,000 US deaths in our country of 327 million. Some report 700,000.
On October 19, we received this from Stan Young: “We are very thankful that today’s surgery went well” Stan was giving us an update on Lou Ann. She is still having some health issues so continue to pray for her.
It is great to know when FCAI sends out emails with a prayer request, you respond. Praise God for all of you.
We wanted to wish each of you a very Merry Christmas! Join us in celebrating Christ’s birthday.
6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them; and they were sore afraid.
10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
12 And this shall be a sign unto you: Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes. lying in a manger.
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
We have killed several rattlesnakes in the past 3 months. Pictured is Robert Robertson, our nephew, with one he killed on our farm near Hillsboro.
Gideon Bible
Kevin Lane, who does a 3:16 devotional that we send out, was talking to a Gideon. The Gideon had been to a prison and a prisoner said he wanted a small testament. He told the Gideon he used the pages to smoke. The Gideon said he would give him a testament if he would agree to read each page before he smoked it. When the prisoner got to John 3: 16, he stopped smoking them.
We serve a great God! Praise God for answered prayer.
