Dear Beloved Readers,
Please read the following note. The Lord spoke these words "A Christmas Gift" to my heart yesterday morning as I was praying for His provision for my family and the work of the mission God has called us to do.
Please take time to read the note and the teaching after it!
A Christmas gift: A gift for the year of fullness 2009
Dear Beloved of the Lord,
I am sending you this invitation to help us in our great time of need. As you prepare for this Holiday season and choose to get your Christmas gifts for you loved ones and families, I would ask you to consider giving to our ministry for Christmas as well.
Due to the economic situation in our nation, the finances for our work have almost come to naught. With the exception of a few faithful monthly supporters, we have not been able to raise the resources we need not only for the ministry, but for me and my family to live as well. Your financial support allows me to continue in spreading the Flame of God’s love to cities in America and in the nations of the world. Many in 2008 were set on fire with the Flame of God. Many received physical and spiritual healings. Just read the website testimony link to see some of what God has done.
Churches are not the same and a flame of intercession is burning again in many Pastors, Churches and Leaders hearts. This is what “we” accomplished by the Grace of God alone. He gets all the Glory. Your giving in 2008 was such a blessing to help us do this work of “establishing the Kingdom of God in men’s heart," and return many back to their first love Jesus Christ. I pray that is a blessing to you to know you had such a part of this by your prayer, love and financial support for us in enabling us to go to the cities and nations of the world. This is credited to your account.
I am asking each one of you to pray about sowing a “CHRISTMAS GIFT” to our ministry work. It is tax-deductible as well before the end of the year. Would you please pray about sowing a “Christmas seed of $100” to help us get out of our present situation and to start the New Year in the black instead of the red? We need this in the most serious way.
We had to find ways in these last few weeks even to get food on our table and get the bills paid. I haven’t had the money to buy a new cord or a battery for my lap top; it has a bad short in it. This is just to let you know the seriousness of the situation. We have never been in such a critical situation. We need God’s help in this time of great need. We need to get established again in His provision through the generosity of His people like you. Please consider us this Christmas and through 2009 for your missionary support.
If each one of you could sow such a seed, we could take care of our present needs and be able to go on the advance for the Kingdom of God sakes. Please remember the blessing that Paul prayed on the Philippians Church. They gave to the Apostle not once, but twice to help him do his missionary call. Because of those gifts he writes, “They were a sweet aroma in God’s nostrils” and then says, “and my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in Glory.”
That is what I pray for each and every one of you for what you have sown this year. Many of you went above and beyond anything I could have ever asked. Please consider helping us out of our present situation and need by sowing a "Christmas Gift of $100" if you can. Any amount is helpful, but this is what I felt the Lord stir me to ask for. Please go to our website at http://www.flameoffire2007.org/ donation link if God would touch your heart.
Have a very Merry and Blessed Christmas and Happy 2009! You are always in our prayers!
Rev. Henry J. Falcone
A GIVING GOD AND HIS PEOPLE!
As you know by now, the American economy is suffering greatly. Many people have lost their jobs, retirements, benefits and more. It is surely a difficult time for our nation. I know our national leaders are trying to do all they can to save our economy, we hope they will prevail.
For us as Christians our economy is not based on the "worlds" economics. Our economy is based upon the Word of God. The Word of God tells in Luke 6:38, "Give, and it will be given to you; good measure, crushed down, full and running over, they will give to you. For in the same measure as you give, it will be given to you again."
The old testament tells us in Malachi chapter 3:10-12 says, "Bring ye the whole tithe into the store-house, that there may be food in my house, and prove me now herewith, saith Jehovah of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast its fruit before the time in the field, saith Jehovah of hosts. And all nations shall call you happy; for ye shall be a delight some land, saith Jehovah of hosts. "
Let us read Luke chapter 12 verses23-32: "And he said to his disciples, For this reason I say to you, Take no thought for your life, about what food you will take, or for your body, how it may be clothed. Is not life more than food, and the body than its clothing?
Give thought to the ravens; they do not put seeds into the earth, or get together grain; they have no store-houses or buildings; and God gives them their food: of how much greater value are you than the birds!
And which of you by taking thought is able to make himself any taller? If, then, you are not able to do even that which is least, why are you troubled about the rest? Give thought to the flowers: they do no work, they make no thread; and still I say to you, Even Solomon, in all his glory, was not clothed like one of these.
But if God gives such clothing to the grass in the field, which today is living, and tomorrow will be burned in the oven, how much more will he give clothing to you, O men of little faith? And do not give overmuch thought to your food and drink, and let not your mind be full of doubts. For the nations of the world go in search of all these things: but your Father has knowledge that you have need of them.
But let your chief care be for his kingdom, and these other things will be given to you in addition.
Have no fear, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom."
Dear ones, this is God's economy. This is not time to build bigger barns. This not time to hold on to what we have. This is time to sow as never before. This is the time to "Seek first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness, AND ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU!
Beloved, This is God's promise! Will we in the American Church BELIEVE IT? Or will we live under the economy of our nation? Will we be the Joseph's for our generation and have a supply in the day of famine, or will be the ones seeking the grain as his brothers did?
The choice is ours, beloved. I don't know why are missionary support decreases every Christmas, but I do know really. This year has proven even a greater shortfall, and this should not be in the Household of God.
As you pray and give this Christmas, please remember this work of God. Please consider sowing "A Christmas Seed of $100," to this work of spreading the Flame of God in the nations. Please review our testimony page to get a little taste of what your donations are accomplishing.
Please don't be afraid in this hour. Listen to God to speak to you concerning your money. Give as He shows you and He will never, never fail you.
God bless each and everyone of you that responds to this note!
