LGAM January-February 2022 Newsletter From the Desk of Brother Tom Let God Arise Ministries Inc. “Ministering God’s Love in the County & City Jails” Thomas M Bridges, Chaplain January-February 2022 Edition “Let God Arise and let His enemies be scattered”...... Psalm 68:1 ____________________________
Soak me in your laundry and I’ll come out clean, scrub me and I’ll have a snow-white life. Tune me in to foot-tapping songs, set these once-broken bones to dancing. Don’t look too close for blemishes; give me a clean bill of health. God, make a fresh start in me, shape a Genesis week from the chaos of my life. Don’t throw me out with the trash, or fail to breathe holiness in me. Bring me back from gray exile; put a fresh wind in my sails! Give me a job teaching rebels your ways so the lost can find their way home. Commute my death sentence, God, my salvation God, and I’ll sing anthems to your life-giving ways. Unbutton my lips, dear God; I’ll let loose with your praise. Psalms 51: 7-15 The MSG “Celebrating 29+ years of service to Jesus Christ since September 1992". ____________________________ Dear Saints, We have always known King David as a man after God’s own heart. I would like to refer to David as a God chaser. He truly loved the Lord with all his heart, mind, soul and strength. No matter what situation he was in he believed God and fully trusted God in every challenge put before him. He defeated with God’s strength lions and bears attacking those sheep he was responsible for as a shepherd boy. He faced Goliath with great courage and put his trust in God’s mighty hand of deliverance. He never faced a battle with the Philistines until he knew that God would give him and the nation of Israel victory. David knew God to be a merciful & compassionate God. David made mistakes like we all do. When caught he did not shift blame but took his punishment. The Message translation conveys in Psalms 51: 7-15 David’s heart of repentance and acknowledgement of his sins. No matter where David was in the roller coaster of life God was at the very center. Good, Bad or Ugly David was quick to respond to God and prayed fervently Lord do not take your Holy Spirit from me and restore unto me the joy of my salvation. Today we are faced with great challenges personally and as a Nation. We have even a greater witness then King David. We have God Himself through His Son Jesus Christ living in us through the Power, Presence and Person of the Holy Spirit. God encourages us in 2022. Trust God absolutely, Chase after God fervently, Praise God passionately, Believe God totally, Repent to God humbly, Dance with God Mightily, Love God and others unconditionally, Glorify God always and Walk with God Daily. Remember child of God you are on the victory side of the cross and resurrection life lives inside of you. Let your light shine brightly so those who are lost may see the Lord living in you and glorify God as their Father and Jesus Christ their Savior, giving hope to the hopeless, faith to the faithless and turn darkness into the light of His glory!!! Let God Arise Ministries Inc. greatly appreciates your time, prayers, encouragement, financial support and heartfelt love in 2021.
