They overcame him(the devil) by the Blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony; and they did not love their lives unto the death. Rev. 12:11

Dear friends,

Come rest in Jesus’ love.

This means you rest under His cleansing Blood covering for your righteousness, identity, & security.

You testify to His truth with His love by His Spirit to each you meet(if only to say “The Lord bless you!” or so much more). Finally, you stop loving your life; & you start living every present moment for the One who died for your eternal security.

Stop letting the devil distract your work in Christ; start letting Christ destroy the devil’s works in your sphere of influence. Right now.

Stop striving in man’s ways in your power; start thriving in Jesus’ ways in His.

I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but, Christ who lives in me. Therefore, this life I now live in the body I live for the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me.  Gal. 2:20

Make Gal. 2:20 your profession to begin your day. Ask Him to help you live Rev. 12:11 through the end of your days.

Dear friends,

I’ve memorized Psalm 96. Now begins the joy of declaring it & praying in light of each verse. I find declaring Psalm 96 a lightning rod for the Holiness of the Lord! I believe He wants me and friends of our ministry to try it with childlike faith this summer. You’ll find the atmosphere around you, and the attitude within you, RISING.

· Above is a memory verse. Try it. Release it into the spiritual realm over this troubled earth—as often as you go to media or your phone…and more!. Watch what happens immediately, eventually. Let me know. Let others know.

· I continue to hear Him say, “Simpler, deeper.” Worship & witness. The more you do both the more He overflows  you. When you don’t, He won’t. What are you allowing to stand between you & the beauty of His holiness?

· We have our third reprinting of Come Rest(2017)! Copies are $18 plus $4 ship. Our outreach discount is 10/$100 (plus $10 ship)if you give copies away to witness to strangers you meet or to care for weary people you know. The same pricing is for Real Fruit; or order a 5/5 combo.  Locals can pick up books by appointment & save shipping. Notify us in advance & I’ll pray over each book, sign, & write a scripture He lays on my heart.

· Please ask Him what He wants you to give or buy in support of our mission. We deeply appreciate it.

· Keep sending your prayer requests. We love praying for you!

· Join me in praying life and life abundant for Ric Lumbard, and his family, in Jesus’ name! He suffered a heart attack this past Tuesday and is hospitalized; very much still in need of prayer for recovery. Ric is a wonderful man of God in our city, who with his wife Christy, leads Wind and Fire Ministries. For updates on how to pray, please seek WFM Missions Base on Facebook. The Lord has touched so many lives throughRic and Christy. They now  now need the Lord’s touch through His people’s earnest fervent prayers. Thankyou.

Love and blessings,

Dick Speight
