Hi Brian!

This week I just want to encourage both you and Kristine. I know that there may be many changes as the new administration steps into their roles! The basics of all that they plan on doing are for the ultimate good of this nation, but change always has effects. Some of those may be difficult to deal with, but I want to remind you both of this promise in Luke 6:38:

38 Give, and [gifts] will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over,  For with the measure you deal out [with the measure you use when you confer benefits on others], it will be measured back to you. AMP

You both, and your girls, have already given SO MUCH! There is not a family at The Spoken Word Church who have not received something that you have given! Some of those things were brand new, with tags on! So, when you are faced with things that may APPEAR to have negative results, remember all that you already have 'in the bank' and expect extraordinary FAVOR, BLESSING, HONOR and CREATIVITY! Then, after you have increased your expectation level with this promise, here is another that you can count on! Proverbs 18:16:

16 A man's gift makes room for him and brings him before great men. AMP

I cannot wait to see how our GREAT GOD works all things out for YOUR BLESSING and BENEFIT! Here is a song by Brandon Lake well suited for these times! "Fear Is Not My Future":

Love and Shalom from the Swoveys!
