| Dear Friends and Intercessors,
During this time of year, we tend to tuck ourselves away and spend this extra time seeking the Lord. I pray that you too have the opportunity to seek Him in preparation for 2022. This next year will be an exciting year! The Lord has been speaking to both Nita (Mom) and I and we are putting some things together that we will send out via email and share in our Thursday and Friday teachings in the coming weeks.
Today, however, I’d like to thank our translators...
I cannot begin to tell you how labor intensive it is to translate our corporate calls live. Many of our translators have full-time jobs, families, and so on. Yet, they volunteer their time with us each week to ensure our Korean and Chinese intercessors understand what is being taught as well as what is being prayed, throughout every minute of our corporate calls. This is an incredible feat, it’s exhausting, and it requires spiritual sensitivity to flow with the speakers. Yet, they never complain.
Our translators also work to translate the written material such as books, the weekly Joel’s Army prayer points, as well as the teaching that goes out via email each week. They don’t use google translate, they read, digest, translate the content and heart of the matter, to present a product that is as close to the English version as possible. They understand how critical it is that we learn and grow together in Kingdom understanding.
This is a ministry for them, a dedication to Kingdom work, and one they take as seriously as Mom, and I do when we are teaching.
Today, I want to thank them for their faithfulness all year long. The hours spent in our Phone Gathering of the Eagles, the dedication every Thursday and Friday, plus the written material, we will surely be limited in what we are able to do, were they not so committed to walking with us!
Thank you, precious and faithful translators, we love and value you more than words can convey. If you benefit from the work our translators do, pray for them during this season, that God will refresh and reinvigorate them in preparation for next year.
We love and bless you all!

| Growing In God; Walk In Love
Part 8 D
7.22.21
Nita Johnson
Let's pick up from where we left off last week: Galatians 5:5. "For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness."
How? By faith; faith that works by love. I cannot tell you how important love and humility are. If you look outside at a tree, the roots are humility. The trunk is love, and the branches bear the fruit of the Spirit. God created those virtues for this.
Oh, my heart. I am sorry, but the Lord keeps piercing my heart with His love for you. It is not only a joyful love, but it is also a painful love. The pain is because He wants to bring you through the cross you are bearing to the life of the Spirit. I see Him right before me. The Lord has been here through this entire talk. First, He revealed Himself as a Priest. Now, He is the Savior bearing what He had to bear to intervene for us. Oh, God! He intervened to cut the power of death from taking you and instead bring you into the life of the Spirit. He would have gone through much worse, if that were even imaginable to do this, but He went through everything it would take to break the yoke of bondage that you may rise in the life of the Spirit and the light of God to teach you and to deliver you.
Oh, my dearly beloved, please believe this. His Spirit is being poured out to us to help us see what we must see for the life He is willing to give and for the help He is ready to give and did give. "For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith, which worketh by love.
Let's continue, Galatians 5:6- "Liberty; only use not this liberty for an occasion to the flesh." Here is where Christians make a mistake. He wants to give you a higher life, but you use the liberty to continue in the flesh. You say, "Well, grace. He is a God of grace. He covers." Of course, He covers because He loves you. He loves you so much. Please bow the knee, bow your head, and listen to the higher things of the Spirit.
The above Scripture means He wants to take you from a child, talking and acting like a spiritual child to bringing you into adulthood and maturity. A place where you are humble enough to let the Spirit overtake and control you, even demand that you die so He may live in you. He loves you more than you can know. When you start making the sacrifices that He calls you to make, you learn that in the flesh, you are nothing but only beloved of the Lord. The Spirit wants to capture you for the sake of your happiness, joy, and communion with Him.
Galatians 5:14, "For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even as this; Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."
When you love anyone, a family member, a whole family team, the person next door, your friend, your enemy, when you learn to love as Christ loves, you are a beacon of light to His purposes.
Galatians 5:15, "But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another."
This verse is about unforgiveness, bitterness, and criticism. It refers to times when you have to demean a person or people because of the bitterness in your heart. Give that to Jesus because that is a yoke of bondage. Give it to Jesus and become a beacon of love.
Galatians 5:16, "This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh."
I need to close there. It is not all I had to say, but it is all I have time for tonight. Beloved of God, walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. Be lifted in life, love, and light. Crave not the darkness that keeps you in bondage to the world.
Jesus, You are everything to us. We do not know how to give ourselves to You wholly, but we know You can teach us. You can liberate us. We look to You, our High Priest. We look to the Cross and say, "We love you. We love you." And as the Cross and the Spirit of life delivered Paul from the world, it can do that for us. So, be as the Spirit of life empowers you. And we humble ourselves before You to receive it. In Your name, Lord, in Your name, amen.
In Him,
Nita Johnson
