“Where were you when I laid the earth’s
foundation?
Tell me, if you understand.
Who marked off its dimensions?
Surely you know!
Who stretched a measuring line across it?
On what were its footings set,
or who laid its cornerstone—
while the morning stars sang together
and all the angels shouted for joy?
“Who shut up the sea behind doors
when it burst forth from the womb,
when I made the clouds its garment
and wrapped it in thick darkness,
when I fixed limits for it
and set its doors and bars in place,
when I said, ‘This far you may come and
no farther;
here is where your proud waves halt’?
“Have you ever given orders to the morning,
or shown the dawn its place…” (Job 38)
Oh, what a mighty, awesome and powerful God
we serve!!! Do we have any reason at all not to
trust Him?
God bless you,
Bishop Joel and

Walk into
your
Season
By: Bishop Joel Peebles
T
here is a time for everything, and a season
for every activity under the heavens: a time
to be born and a time to die, a time to plant
and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to
heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a
time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn
and a time to dance (Ecclesiastes 3:1-4). Saints,
these times are the seasons of our lives. They are
appointed by God. Just as the sun has never failed
to rise and set every day, we know that winter, spring,
summer and fall are also ordered by the Lord. We, in
turn, have seasons that we must go through in order
to grow, in order to know and understand Who He is
and Whose we are. It is in these times that we learn
what a just, merciful, loving, forgiving, protective and
all-powerful God we serve. Without life’s tests we
would never have a testimony. We would only know
Him through the experiences of others, but never on
a truly personal level. God wants you to know Him for
yourself. He wants to dig through that flesh and make
Himself at home in your heart.
peace and joy, trust and faithfulness. And oh, He
is so proud of you for standing on His promises
and continuing to walk in His Word, in spite of
the wilderness experience. His eye is over the
righteous and His ear is open to our prayer. He
is ever faithful to bless and reward the faithful.
Blessed is the one who does not walk in step
with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners
take or sit in the company of mockers, but
whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and
who meditates on his law day and night. That
person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf
does not wither— whatever they do prospers
(Psalm 1:1-3). This is your time to dance. He
has proclaimed this the year of Radical Results,
and because of your faithfulness in the season
of winter, you can with confidence walk into the
season that He has prepared for you. Expect
miracles, expect His Best for you in this season
and continue to move with the Cloud.
COPFM, corporately we have just come through
a powerful winter season. It was cold out there
in the wilderness. But our God was with us every
step of the way, and He kept us warm and fed,
while we learned to trust Him and to be more like
Him. He taught us to walk in love and forgiveness,
The LORD will open the heavens, the
storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your
land in season and to bless all the work of your
hands. You will lend to many nations but will
borrow from none. (Deuteronomy 28:12 NIV)
