Good News Press - 6 We Overcome Terrorism By Connie Woods In the past month or so, 5 US Marines have been killed in the United States; once again another terrorist attack on US soil by a person influenced by terrorist ideology. As it stands now, there have been several US Islamist influenced attacks over the past few years and increasing. Thousands of our Christian sisters and brothers have also been killed in the Middle East by the same groups. The 2nd Amendment of the United States Constitution, (...the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed) gives Americans the right to protect themselves, but more importantly, Christians fight in the spiritual realm, and the battles that they face will be won by the Spirit of God. Jesus will fight this battle, as all others. God called Christians to pray, stand, fully armored with the word of God, and to continue to be a light in a dark world. (For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12) Christians know that they win, in the end, and through their trials, encouraged that when they suffer with Jesus they shall also reign with him. As evil is being perpetrated on Jews, Christians, and Americans all over the Earth by terrorists, remind yourselves, sin only last for a season. Saints have compassion on those that know not the truth, because they know what awaits those that are lost. God call us to love our enemies, and to pray for them. When Jesus rights all wrongs, all this terrorism and evil will be done away with for good! Pray for all that are blinded by the devil and for the hearts of the people of this country that they would come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and in the midst of everything that is going on Christians ask God to protect them – like only he can.

National Grandparents Day Celebrated September 13 First celebrated in 1978, National Grandparents Day is observed in the U.S. on the first Sunday after Labor Day. It honors both maternal and paternal grandparents. Grandparents have always been special. Today, they're even more important. In very busy families, an involved grandparent is especially beneficial ... and helpful. The special kind of love children get from a grandparent is something they can't get anywhere else. It is a genuine kind of love, a unique and important kind. Parents have to worry about who children will become in the future, and they have to be providers and disciplinarians. Grandparents can just enjoy their grandchildren for who they are in the moment. ral realm. All physical matter was brought into existence by God. God is a Spirit. All things are held together by His Word. John 1:1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. Even though we can not see it, it is real. God has given us the authority through the Lord Jesus Christ when we are submitted to His Word, to exercise the power of God and walk in that authority. As Paul said -- Eph:3:20: Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us. This power is in us the Word of God says, yet we must be obedient and submitted to Him if we want that power to flow through us. We have to follows God's directions if we are going to get God's results. Authority is the God given right to use this power. Me in heaven and on earth. 19. "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20. "teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.'' Amen. All authority was been given to Jesus who immediately turned around and gave it to the church in order to bring God's will into fruition in the Earth. Declaration I will rise up in Jesus name and walk in the authority that Jesus has transferred to me. I will rise up and faint not in the day of adversity. I will rise up and walk worthy of a child of God. I will rise up to my place of authority and leadership. I will rise up and boldly declare God’s Word to be true. I will Rise up, I will Rise up! The day is at hand, I will not turn to the right or left, but face straight ahead, and see God’s glory poured forth over the Earth. Glory to God. Amen
