They Overcame
We have been privileged to gather these many years to hear about "The Eternal Purpose of God". Over and over again our focus has been
this single important theme that we can also describe as "The Testimony of Jesus" or "The Whole Counsel of God". We believe that
many have been helped by the word of the Lord through various vessels, our times of prayer and fellowship during these gatherings.
As a result many adults, young people and children have been touched by the Lord. This year as we gather, we are impressed with
an urgent need! It is the sensing that to just know about these things is not sufficient in itself, but we must be
brought into the reality of it. Our lives must be captured by it and as a result that purpose must be expressed in the
lives of God's people as ones who overcome and "have the Testimony of Jesus". Therefore, as we prepare to come
together this year, we are impressed with the word of the apostle John in Revelation 12:11:
"and they have overcome him by reason of the blood of the Lamb, and by reason of the word of their testimony, and
have not loved their life even unto death".
Only in this way will lives not only be touched and things understood, but lives will be changed and we will enter into the reality of it!
