After everybody left to go back to the USA. Donnia and I had the blessed opportunity to SKYPE into our Church and give the big news.

We are moving to Cochabamba, Bolivia in March. Why? I am so glad you ask. I have been ask to be the Dean of students at RHEMA Bible Training Center in Cochabamba. We are so excited to be a part of this ministry. When we were in Bolivia the first time I really liked it and hoped that some day I would be able to go back, but never thought about being able to live their or be part of RHEMA, God is so good.

A little about Cochabamba:

•  Area – City 348 km² (134.4 sq mi)
• Elevation 2,574 m (8,445 ft)
• Population (2008) – Urban 608,276

If you would like to know more about Cochabamba, you can read and see some photos on our website at AMI and if you would like to help us with the moving expenses that would be a blessing.

Donnia and I have been keeping busy with many things. I started a class in the Bible school (CEB) on “The Foundations of Faith” this was a two week course and it was very insightful, of course two weeks is not nearly enough but we were able to break into it.

After that class I started a new class on “Biblical Hermeneutics”  of course for each class I needed to make power points and have them in Spanish.

On Aug 20th every year I take Donnia to the place that we had our first date (by the way this is the date I ask her to marry me on) but because we were a few thousand miles a way I took her to a new place, on the roof top of a hotel overlooking the '”Plaza de Armas” in Arequipa. We were joined by our friends Jorge and Francy.

We have had one team in to stay a night with us and the next morning we fixed them breakfast.

I have been able to get up each morning and watch the day begin and take some time for my daily devotion I like to use the “Faith Food Devotional” by Kenneth E Hagin, then I read my bible usually the chapter or the book that was part of the devotion and then I try to read a book a week if possible. This week “The Everyday Visionary” by Jesse Duplantis.

We were so blessed to meet some new friends Tony and Rebecca Archer,who are also missionaries and friends & family with some of our friends in Florida that go to our Church Danny & Patty Dalrymple.

 

Philippians 2:3-4“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.”

DOES GOD WANT US TO PROSPER ?

Part 1

PROSPERITY the very word in some Christian circles makes many fighting mad.

I know a preacher that has in his home emeralds and diamonds and rubies and all kinds of jewelry even has pure pearl doors that lead into his yard. His home is well just a show place a real mansion he has many many servants that do all his bidding and are around him night and day. There is no way to tell how much this preacher is worth. I tell you what I am just going to give you his name and how you can get in-touch with him and you can ask him if it is right for a preacher to have all this wealth.

His name is Jehovah Jireh - The LORD Will Provide and his number is Genesis 22:14 His son is pretty well off too.

Your Prosperity is God’s idea and we should believe that just as we believe in salvation and healing and all the many gifts and promises of God. God is identified by many name and each one of them is a testimony of His goodness to us and what He is and wants to be to us.

El Elyon Most High - God is maker of heaven and earth (Genesis 14:17-20)

El Shaddi- Almighty God (Genesis 49:25)

El Olam- Everlasting God - We are secure because God lives after we die (Isaiah 40:28)

Jehovah- The one who is always present - Common name for God used 6,823 times (Genesis 2:4)

Jehovah Shammah- the LORD is there presence; hence peace, security, glory, blessing (Ezek. 48:35)

Jehovah M'kadesh-``Lord our sanctifier" (or the Lord who makes you holy) and signifies that God is the one who sets people apart and makes them holy. (Exodus 31:13; Leviticus 20:8)

Jehovah Rapha- The LORD Who Heals You: (Exodus 15:26). Adonai is the Great Physician and the ultimate source of all healing - spiritual, physical, emotional, mental.

Jehovah Raah-(rohi) means the ``Lord our Shepherd" and denotes God's loving care, protection and provision for His people. (Psalm 23:1)

God Wants Us to Prosper and next time we will look at some of the scriptures in the Bible of what God says about Biblical Prosperity.
