But God

 "But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive." Gen. 50:20

Two of the greatest words of faith in the Bible are found in this verse. "But God" is a phrase used over and over again in the scriptures. It explains how, when life seems dark or overwhelming, God has yet to move and therefore, the best is yet to come.

"I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase." 1 Cor. 3:6

"But God raised Him from the dead." Acts 13:30 

"For indeed he was sick almost unto death; but God had mercy on him..." Phil. 2:27

And on and on. Both in the old and new testament this phrase is used to testify of the God who never fails and who will act  and change the factors in ways that make our hearts have confidence in Him. Jesus has promised to go with us to the end of the age. 

It is time for God to act.

Halloween Outreaches

 We did a Harvest Carnival on Halloween. Thirty people prayed with us to be saved. During the evening we put on a play. Ten people responded during the play.

The Prescott church did a haunted house this year instead of a play. Over the three nights 231 people responded. Tiny small town Prescott Valley was more responsive than big city San Antonio.

I am amazed that haunted houses or carnivals or plays work at all! But they do.
