Revival In Pictures - Grace Fellowship

This week of revival has flown by and we are down to the last night. This in incredible to me. It seems like we just arrived. Of course it also seems like we should be at the beginning of January but now we are in February. It is February 3rd and the action packed first weekend of the year seems like it happened about three months ago.

We have had a wonderful time enjoying the blessings of God with our friends at Grace Fellowship Holiness Church. We love these folks and we love having church with them. It has been good for us to be here. The service last night was phenomenal! Praise God for His help!

I appreciate all the positive response on my more serious posts like Wednesday's but I understand that millions of you come here every day for the pictures!😀 This is a Revival In Pictures post so let us get to the pictures.

Thanks for stopping in.

Do You Know Pastor Jon Isaacs and Family

Do you know Bro. Jon Isaacs and his beautiful family?


We first met Bro. Jon when he was a young man and relatively new Christian. He was raised in Connersville, Indiana and would visit our home church, Dryden Rd. Pentecostal Church in Dayton, Ohio. He was a fine young man then and God has touched him and used him greatly through the years.

Bro. Jon is married to Sis Heidi and they have three beautiful daughters, Alayna, Alivya and Anna Kate. They were effective evangelists for several years and have been Pastoring near Elba, Alabama for nearly 12 years. When they went to Zoar Holiness church I really wondered why they would leave the road.

After 12 years, a new location, a name change and many lives transformed by the power of God, I now understand why they went to Zoar. It is evident that God sent them.

Grace Fellowship Holiness Church (The church is no longer at Zoar, hence the name change) is better because God sent them this special anointed family. God is using them to reach folks and to bless.

They all sing, play music, preach, teach and obviously have a heart for people and a heart for God. The girls are precious and have taken up the work of the ministry with dedication and delight. It is a joy to watch this family work for the Lord and minister to His people.

Bro. Jon invited us to Zoar in the early years of their Pastorate and we have enjoyed great fellowship with his family and with the family of God that attend the church. Our lives have been made better by knowing them and we look forward to many more years of friendship by God's grace.

Some of our most precious memories of evangelism were made with these folks and we will treasure them for a long time. The Watch Night service on January 31, 2010 was especially memorable and will stand as a great memorial to God's amazing power and blessing, at least to our family.


That night was also special because we were honored to dedicate Anna Kate Isaacs to the Lord.






Here is Anna Kate now with me and one of the little boys from the church.




Praise God for His wonderful people that we are blessed to know and love. These are a few more of them that are near and dear to our hearts!


Do you know Bro. Jon Isaacs and his beautiful family? They are definitely worth getting to know.

This Is The Victory That Overcomes ALL Obstacles

I have various friends across the country that have really been in the spiritual battle of their lives. The actual trials are physical, emotional or financial but it all combines to create spiritual havoc. Many of you have been there and you know the heartache and frustration first hand.

I have been praying fervently for several of my dear friends and family. Many others have been praying fervently. I wish I had a Word from the Lord that divine deliverance is on the way very soon. I do not have that assurance at this moment but I do have this.

We may not feel victorious now. We may not look like winners today. We may seem to be on the losing end of the action for the moment. But do not count the Christian out yet.

When the Christian's world is turned upside down and all hope that we should be saved is now lost, we have a secret weapon. We have a sure advantage. We have a consolation that others can not depend on.

That consolation is this.

I John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

The trial may not be over but we are born of God and we will overcome the world in the end! That is the Word of a perfect gentleman! We will overcome the world! We are born of God! We are God's children!

Overcoming the world.
Defeating the devil.
Triumphant over temptation.
Thriving in the test.
Prevailing over problems.
Conquering calamity.
Success over satan.
Winning in spite of the world.

Overcoming the world!

How do we do that?

THIS is the victory that overcometh the world, even our FAITH.

Faith overcomes the world? Faith prevails? Faith conquers? Yes it does! Faith overcomes the world!

Faith must be powerful stuff to accomplish all thatIndeed it is, but our faith must be focused in the right direction.

Overcoming faith is Not faith in our experience

Not faith in a ministry

Not faith in a creed

Not faith in a book

Not faith in a system

Not faith in a church

Not faith in a man

Not faith in ourselves

Not even faith in our faith!

I John 5:5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

Faith that overcomes is faith in Christ as the Son of God! Hallelujah! THAT Works!

You may not be able to trust your co-workers

You man not be able to trust your friends.

You may not be able to trust your neighbors

You may not be able to trust your government

You may not be able to trust your family

You may not be able to trust your yourself

But you can trust Christ! You can put your faith in the Son of God. You can rely on Him!

He is dependable, my dear friends. He is trustworthy. He is reliable. He is honorable. He is steadfast. He is sure. He is faithful. He is true! Hallelujah!

You can trust Christ! You can place all of your faith in Christ! There is overcoming power in that kind of faith!

Do not give up. Do not give in. Do not be talked into premature surrender. The battle is not over, but you are going to win. Have faith in the Son of God and you will overcome the world!

Thanks for reading today.
