Letter From the Editor
Greetings and welcome to the December issue of HimPower Magazine. It is almost Christmas, and for those who know the blessings they received in 2016 and in years past were possible only because of Christ, it is the most joyous time of year.
However, sometimes it is easy to lose sight of all that Christ is when we find ourselves struggling with hurt, disappointments, bitterness, in need of forgiveness, experienced loss of job, loss of home, loss of love or loss of family. It is easy to get so focused on our loss— our situation— that we forget, at least temporarily, how much we have as long as we have Christ who gives us life and another opportunity to hope, to believe, to trust in Him who heals and delivers when we allow Him.
For whatever reason, if you find yourself struggling this Christmas because of pain or disappointment, heartache or despair, we believe you will be helped by the spiritual nuggets shared by our contributors, from The Healing of Our Loving God by Angela Steele, to Letting Go of the Past, Looking Towards the Future by Jennifer Workman, to God is With You and That Makes the Difference by Evangelist Uche, to There is No One Like You by DiAnne Malone, and First You Make Your Choices- Then Your Choices Make You by Eturuvie Erebor. As you read each, let the Holy Spirit speak to your heart if you need healing or something is stealing your joy. Of all the gifts you receive, the blessed assuredness of who Christ is, His Love and His promises to heal your hurts, will lift your spirits and give you the greatest joy.
If you are already in a good place and are filled with joy for the many blessings you have received, perhaps you would like to know how you can give back and bless someone else. In our cover story, we feature Ebony
Perkins, who founded The Philanthropist Next Door. The idea is so simple, it is revolutionary! You will be surprised at how easy you can become a part of this growing trend.
Of course, your health is always top of mind and this issue is no exception. We believe you will be blessed with The Gift of Health offered by Angela’ s FaithnFitness along with warnings about ibuprofen and acetaminophen offered in Terry Talks Nutrition and whether it’ s safe to mix natural products with prescription medication in Ask Dr. Lomax.
On a lighter note, Kevin Morgan gives an insightful Book Review about an author whose writing style is worth the read. And as promised, we are happy to announce the third and final HopRocket Contest Winner, Amber Oates! Congratulations to Amber and our thanks to all who participated.
Another round of thanks goes to each of you and to all who provided feedback about what we’ re doing well and what you would like to see going forward as we gear up for next year. For the past few months, we have been working behind the scenes. We will continue through the first 60 days of 2017 when we will finalize all of the changes currently underway. There is more to come when we re-launch with the first issue of HimPower Magazine in March 2017.( All subscriptions will resume at that time.) All Praise to God Who is making provisions--we are excited about the blessings that lie instore for 2017.
Thank you for your support of Him- Power Magazine and the work we strive to do. We pray each of you will have a very Merry Christmas and blessed and prosperous New Year! To God be the Glory.
