Friday’s  MEETING IS CANCELED

Hello,<<First Name>> .We hope and pray you and your family are well and continue protecting yourselves. We are canceling our GAP meetings until further notice, with a review of circumstances. How to Stay Calm During the Chinese-virus (AKA, Corona virus) Crisis

Does God Know Our Situation? YES! The Significance Of The Number “40”.

GAP Facilitator and Teacher, John Hashek, reminds us that the Latin root of the word “quarantine” is “forty”. So what does the Bible say about 40?

▪︎The flood lasted 40 days.
▪︎40 years Moses fled Egypt.
▪︎40 days Moses stayed on Mount Sinai to receive the Commandments.
▪︎Exodus lasted 40 years.
▪︎Jesus fasted for 40 days.
▪︎Lent is 40 days.
▪︎40 weeks is how long a baby forms in its mother’s womb before birth.

The number 40 represents “change.” It is the time of preparing a person, or people, to make a fundamental change.Something will happen after these 40 days. Just believe and pray.  Remember, whenever the number 40 appears in the Bible, there is a “change”.

Please know that during this “quarantine” rivers are cleaning up, vegetation is growing, the air is becoming cleaner, there is less theft and murder, healing is happening, and most importantly, people are turning to Christ.  The Earth is at rest for the first time in many years and hearts are truly transforming.

So, during this time, enjoy it with your loved ones and return to the family altar together. Family prayer is a great blessing.  Through prayer you will see the changes God can work in you and in your home.  Christ promises us that everything works together for the good for those who love God: Romans 8:28!

▪︎Remember we are in the year 2020, and 20 + 20 = 40.
▪︎Also, 2020 is the year of the United States Census.  Jesus Christ, the savior of the world, was born during a census.
▪︎Lastly, 2020 is perfect vision.  May our sight focus on the Lord and living according to His perfect vision for us knowing He holds us in the palm of His hand.

May these days of “quarantine” bring spiritual liberation to our souls, our nation, and our world..The best is yet to come, so Trust in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit!

Today’s Prayer
Father, I praise you. Because of the intercession of the Holy Spirit in this very moment, I know that you hear more than what my words say. You know what’s on my heart. You know my doubts, my insecurities, my secret sins, and my frustrating struggles. And, dear Father, you know my deep desire to have these things redeemed and transformed by your grace so that I live for your glory. I thank you for your grace..Also, Lord, don’t let me be distracted by, or addicted to, food or drink. I want to be sustained and fed spiritually and emotionally by the presence of your Holy Spirit within me. I specifically pray that your goodness, peace, and joy will become more and more apparent in my life as I seek to honor Christ and yield myself to the influence of your Spirit. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen
