Greetings in Jesus Name
My heart is stirred as I type out this wonderful update about the Power of the Gospel! Many many years ago we met a family in our town that brought their kids to Master Clubs. We love families so it was easy to meet and greet another family that were bringing their kids. Through the years we have stayed in contact with them. Just recently the husband ask me to be the chaplain for his CAP flight that he was developing in Sanford. I accepted the invitation and have been taking part in this for over six months. I have been praying that God would use these divine appointments to be able to lead him to Christ. Well Glory to God it all happened last night. Bless the Lord for the God of Heaven working out the details to ultimately be able to lead him to Christ. God is moving and stirring among us here in New England. I encouraged to see more people saved!

CONSIDERING A NEW YEARS CELEBRATION
1 Corinthians 10:31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
I would like to encourage you today as you make plans for how you will celebrate the new year to make for sure that it brings Glory to God. For me that decision is somewhat a no brainer. We have services tonight at our church. At 6 p.m. we meet for prayer and are seeking God for a new campus for our church and ministry. At 6:30 we will be worshipping our Lord in singing. As the service continues I am anxiously awaiting the time to share what the Lord has put on my heart for the theme of the new year. When we get into our automobiles to go home our conscience will be clear that we have honored the God of Heaven with our life! Amen and Amen.
On the other hand many of you are making plans now to go to questionable places at best. Some are going to go dancing and drinking. Is that the best things for you? Alcohol alters the way you think and react. Is this a good thing to be involved in? Some will go dancing. As you dance others will be there drinking or smoking dope among other things and will begin to act in ways that absolutely do not honor God at all. Married couples will begin to dance with other wives and husbands. This doesn't even make sense? Why would we even desire to be involved in these types of activities. Still yet others will go to a movie and then go out for some late night drinks. Is this the way you want to dedicate your new year? Others will hang out and listen to people continually take the name of God in vain and laugh along with them as they mock our God! REALLY???
God created each of us with a will. We have the ability to make a good decision right now. Why not decide to honor God with your life instead of going to some questionable party and be tempted to do something that causes tragic results!
May the God of Heaven help us to glorify Him with our lives, this day and everyday in 2015!!!
Greetings in the Marvelous Name of the Lord Jesus Christ
What a wonderful and edifying day I had on yesterday. The God of Heaven helped me all throughout the day as I prepared early in study and seeking Him. In the morning I enjoyed teaching on prayer in the Bible class that I teach. We had powerful services in the morning as I preached out of Romans 13 on an Awareness of time. My wife and I and Mrs. Eleanor flew up to New Vineyard in some questionable weather, but made a safe landing there a little after 1. We had lunch at the airport and then off to the 2:30 service. I enjoyed preaching and the liberty of the Holy Ghost with 21 in attendance. We flew home for the evening service. I preached on TRUST! Proverbs 3:5 declares "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart".! BOOM! The LORD really helped me and our church to get over some hurdles in our life. God is doing a great work in New England. I'm grateful that He lets me be a little part of it.
This week I am finishing up a pulpit I have been making and a cross that goes behind it. Also I am laying tile in our house around a jacuzzi tub. Also I am taking down a chimney and repairing a wall. Plus winterizing a dirt cellar. Their is more but please pray that I have a very productive week. So much to do for Christ! What a joy!

Greetings in the Mighty Name of the Lord Jesus Christ
I'm thrilled about another day to serve the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. I am looking forward to my study this morning and preparation for tomorrow. Also today I am going out into the streets and lanes of our city to reach people for Christ. I can't wait to see what the Lord is going to do. How shall they know unless we go! Also today I plan to fly up to New Vineyard to do some soul winning there. We are praying and believing God for a supernatural work! Pray much for us. We are in desperate need of the prayer support!

What a powerful service we had last night. I praise God for Him annointing the service and for our missionary updating us with all God is doing in his ministry in Cambodia.
Before the service we had close to 50 praying and seeking the face of God for a new campus. The God of Heaven is going to do it! I know He's going to bless. Glory to God!
Today I'm busy studying, teaching, visiting, discipling and flying. It's going to be a good day in the LORD!

What a glorious day I had on yesterday. I studied in the morning and then worked in the office with discipleship and counseling. At 11:10 we had chapel where I preached on Lord teach us to pray! It was powerful to be able to teach the school how our God wants us to pray. In the afternoon we prepared for our evening rally service. What a blessing it was to come to the rally time and see over 250 dollars raised. What a great event.
Today I'm studying, cleaning the motorhome and getting it ready for another family to stay in it, soul winning, getting the game room ready for tonight, and preparing for the Old time Saturday night Jubilee!!! It's going to be tremendous today! Praise God for all He is doing!

What a powerful first half of the week I have experienced. It was a blessing to be asked to preach the Word of God at Pioneer Valley Baptist Church in Westfield Ma the last several days. They have such a wonderful church their and Pastor James Montoro and his family are such a blessing. God is moving mightily in that church! The God of Heaven granted power and anointed at every meeting I was in. Five precious souls were saved and the church was truly revived as the Word of God went forth. This is the joy of my life to see God do such great things. I bless the Lord for how He continues to move in New England.
I got home last night around 12:30 a.m. and enjoyed my 5.5 hours of sleep. Thank you for praying for me.
I almost forgot to tell you that I was privileged to go to the airbase in Barnes yesterday thanks to a friend and spend some time around the F15 screaming eagle! Wow! Wow! What a joy for this boy who loves fighter jets. I did ask the Col if I could get a ride and he smiled and in essence said no. Oh well one day!
Praise the Lord I'm back home and rip roaring and ready to get after souls here in Maine. Tonight we have service at 6:30. You ought to come out and be a part of what God is doing here. Don't let a few rain drops hinder you!
Also today I will be teaching and training and soul winning! Can't wait to see what God is going to do in and through the day! What a Saviour!

Acts 2:2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven...........
Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost..........
Moody said were leaky vessels and we should be continually filled. Are we filled today with the Holy Ghost? THE NEED OF THE HOUR!!!

Walking with God........
Colossians 2:6,7 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
In the journey of life I often counsel people to just simply walk with God. It's amazing to see how this fixes everything. This verse details for each of us what it's about.
1) It starts out by receiving Christ Jesus the Lord
Their is such an ignorance among people about this today. People actually believe that they become Christians because they were baptized as an infant. Baptism is not the Saviour Jesus Christ is the Saviour. Furthermore you were not able to believe as a baby. Your parents believed for you. The Bible teaches us clearly that receiving Christ Jesus the Lord is something that is personal between each of us and the Lord. John 1:11-13 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Are you walking with God today as a result of this? Can you say with full assurance that you have received Christ Jesus the Lord? Do you remember a time and place you were "Born Again"? I'm shocked today when I hear about people that are so flippant with eternity. Hey folks, eternity is a long time, it's like forever and forever don't play around with it!!!
Ephesians 2:8,9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
If your trusting in your good works to get you Heaven your not going to go. It's not of works! Receive Christ Jesus the Lord today by faith and see what happens. You will changed from the inside out and your life will be transformed by the power of the Word of God!
2) It continues by growing
The Bible teaches us in this verse that we are to be rooted and built up in Him. When something is rooted it means it is growing and maturing. We must do the same. One of the ways we do that is by reading and studying the Bible. Do you have a plan for this? As busy as I am in all areas of the ministry I always take time for this in the morning. Actually I was so excited to get to my office this morning I was up before 5. It's a thrill to grow in the Lord! Are you growing? Do you really believe you are walking with Him? My prayer is that you are maturing in your walk with God!
3) It's evident by your thankfulness
The text says that we are abounding with thanksgiving. Are you a thankful person? It's quite obvious that some people do not walk with God. You can immediately tell it by their attitude. They are so negative and ungrateful for life. My heart hurts for these people. They make everyone around them miserable. You say Pastor Bell what's the fix? It's simple, walk with God! Know your saved, grow in Christ and be a thankful person. Wow, you make it so simple, well it is! Why not make the decision today to just do right and walk with God and see what happens. My prayer is that we can continue to impact our area for Christ by exhibiting "real Christianity"! May the God of Heaven grant it.
