When Len Mink and Cathy Gravitt were born again in 1971, they hit the ground running and they haven’t stopped since! Len was a successful entertainer and TV personality in the Cincinnati area, with a musical variety show that was about to go into national syndication. Cathy was a model who had become disenchanted with the fashion industry for its abuses and excesses. After Len and Cathy accepted Christ, they shared the wonderful truth that…
God responds to requests. We call it prayer. If we want the help of God, we must enlist it. God has always intended for His people to pray for their leaders. In 1st Timothy 2:1-4 we are specifically told to do this very thing. God has such an incredible plan in these last days to bring the harvest in, and to lead up to the return of Jesus. We can be part of this plan…
Founded in 1983, Mercy Ministries of America is a national, non-profit outreach that provides a loving environment where mercy triumphs over judgment, and broken lives are lovingly put back together and restored by the immeasurable power of our awesome Lord. Founder and President Nancy Alcorn moved to Monroe, Louisiana, in January 1983, following the leading of the Lord in her life. Eight years of working for the state of Tennessee allowed her to experience first-…
This is the day which the Lord has brought about; we will rejoice and be glad in it. 25 Save now, we beseech You, O Lord; send now prosperity, O Lord, we beseech You, and give to us success! Psalms 118:24-25 AMP No one, in their right mind, deliberately wants to be a failure. Every one wants rather to prosper and be a success. The one thing every one must recognize is that success in…
One year in the middle of winter I was in Fallun, Sweden. It was cold, snow everywhere but really beautiful. One afternoon the pastor said, “Do you want to go to a Ski jump?” I said, “Yes, I would love to.” At the ski jump the skiers came flying down a ramp and took off. Each skier had three runs on the ramp. There was a man from Japan and he came down the ramp…
God wants to do a work in the church in these last days, but it is not enough to want to be a part of it. There is more to our being involved in God’s last-days work than our wanting to be involved or an I’ll-get-around-to-it attitude. For example, we’ve seen babies who were hungry but refused to eat. The bottle was there, but they refused it and just kept ;’ fussing. And you have…
Several years ago, Trina and I took our children to Disney World in Florida. It was such a creative and exciting place for children with a lot of rides and entertainment. It was also quite an expensive trip for our family. I thought it was funny when I saw a mother scolding and correcting her little boy. The little boy had been whining, grouchy, and complaining. The mother grabbed him firmly by the arm and…
Have you ever had a bad day? Even in the midst of the worst day you have ever had, there is deliverance from heaven! God is ready to deliver you from anything you are going though. Let’s look at a situation David went through. In 1 Samuel 22:1-2, the Bible says, “David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father’s house heard it, they went down…
Since September 11, 2001, there has been a pursuit under way. The military forces of the United States, acting on the orders of the President of the United States, has been engaged in a mission to “find those responsible and bring them to justice.” This pursuit has been based on a quest for justice. Our President has referred to the phrase from the old West, “Wanted, Dead or Alive.” It could be said that this…
As I write this newsletter, I do so to sound an alarm to the Body of Christ! Have you ever wondered what Jesus might say or even how the Apostle Paul might have commented on where we, the Body of Christ, are today? It is so easy to lose our focal point when we lose sight of our personal standard or rule of measurement. Jesus has always been the supreme authority and the greatest of…
