Meditating on Philippians 4
Paul ends his letter to the church located in the Roman colony of Philippi this way...
Philippians 4:22 reads... 22 “All the saints send you greetings, especially those who belong to Caesar’s household.”
What an amazing thought that while Paul was under arrest in Rome, most likely under the Ceasar - Nero, people were coming to Christ right in Nero's own palace.
How hard would it be to live for Christ under Nero's roof???
Alexander Maclaren said about this passage. “Our duty is to stand at our post however difficult our surroundings and unfriendly our company, and if we are sure that He has set us there, we may be sure that He is with us there, and that there we can live the life and witness to His name”
From Maclaren’s expositions of the Holy Scriptures Volume 15 Pg 80
Where must you stand for Christ today? No matter how difficult - God's grace is sufficient - You are His ambassador!

A report on Tonights Bible Study
Hello Salvation Army Soldiers, saints, and fellow followers of Jesus,
Just wanted to make a quick report on tonight's bible study time. We finished up our "personal evangelism study" mainly from Mark Cahill's book "one thing you can't do in heaven". We ended by watching two of his video teachings. It was quite a moving night for most of us (the spirit really moved). For the sake of time I will say we discussed my prayer request for the church to be praying because I feel assured we are under a specific spiritual attack (there was confirmation by many). We also had a young man ask for prayer because he will be stepping out in faith to make steps to take the gospel message into his college and his lecture rooms in part with some upcoming assignments. He also loaded up with some "gospel of John / tracts" to take with him. PLEASE PRAY for this young man and the others of our corps that are intentionally taking steps to verbally share their faith in Jesus Christ. All in all I'm just kind of coming off a spiritual high from feeling the Lord moving.
Just wanted to give an Internet shout of praise that God is not only working, but apparently preparing us for "even greater things".
May God alone be glorified!

Asking for extra prayer
Hello Soldiers and fellow followers of Jesus,
I just want to shoot out this special request for extra prayer right away. The last several days have been odd and I know it involves some spiritual attack on our homer and our corps. As you are able, please carry our corps, it's members, and my home, and our work here before God's throne for a special covering and anointing. Today I even called my family together for an "emergency Knee Drill" on our knees in prayer together. I don't know what all is happening, but I will agree with a saint who suggested that perhaps we are on the verge of taking new ground for God's Kingdom. Lord may it be so. No matter what, we simply ask for extra prayers specifically for God's will and work in Homer, and against any spiritual attacks. We also pray that every soldier (both here and around God's glorious world) will preach the saving truth of Jesus. Thank you in advance, our prayers are with you as well.
Ephesians 6... 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. 19 Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.

True worship includes obedience...
Hello soldiers, friends, and fellow followers of Jesus.
Just remember today as you spend time in worship of your Lord...
Make sure He gets more than just music although it's right to praise Him in song...
Make sure He gets more than just words from your lips although it's right to praise His Name and give witness and testimony to who He is and everything He has done in your life...
Let's make sure He gets obedience to His command to go into all the world and preach His gospel that there is no other name under heaven by which men must be saved.
Let's move beyond "Sunday morning worship" although it's right to give Him, and let's obey His call to spread the news, so here it is...
Jesus is the only way to heaven.
Jesus made a way for us to be forgiven by His death and resurrection.
You must trust in Jesus alone for your salvation.
You must turn from your sin and sinning out of obedience to Him.
True worship includes obedience to live holy and share the good news of Jesus. We're not responsible for the results, but we have to do our part to take the name of Jesus to the ends of the earth.
