Camp Courtney

Camp Courtney

The summer camping season is almost upon us. Many have been raising monies, setting schedules and “pulling teeth” to tend to all the details.  I write to say thanks to not only those that have seen to the above but leant their support financially and physically.  The closing of fundraisers, collection of registrations and the writing of checks does not complete the task required for an exceptional camp experience.  Continued effectual fervent prayer is required for the experiencing of Spirit-filled, Word empowered, life changing, gift manifested camps.

 

Let us not grow weary in petitioning God for the time ahead at Camp Courtney.  HPFC is sending students and leaders as will many other Foursquare churches.  The following weeks the camp will be filled with participants from various church families.  Through prayer individuals, families, cities and nations can be forever changed to the glory of God. Pray with expectation believing that God is and that He is truly a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him!  Jesus display the power that has set Your name above every name!

Do Be a Do Bee

Okay, maybe you've never heard the saying!  However it runs rampant through Scripture that God is interested in us not only coming to Him and hearing Him, He wants us to do what He says.  Thus, do be a do bee. In Luke 6 He says it this way.  47 "Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like: 48 "He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock.

 

In James 1:22 we are exhorted, “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.”  In Rev. 3:20 Jesus speaks, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.  I do not share this to announce workdays or to say straighten up folks and get busy.  I simply want us to be cognitive of God’s charge for us to be faithful to His instructions, to put action to our faith.  We are seeing God do incredible works in our lives and families and many times there have been defining actions that immediately preceded the wow moment only God could do.  Again, do be a do bee and don’t be a don’t bee!
