ANONYMOUS GIFT IN MEM-ORY OF A LOVED ONE!
This gift ( anonymous) is in memo-ry of 2 relatives ( in-law
side) of our
family.
Job 1:21-22And said, Naked came I out of my mothers womb, and
naked shall I return thither: the
Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of
the Lord.In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.
What is it about Job that makes us think we cannot compare
ourselves to his troubles? Was it because God said he was a
perfect, an upright man, who feared God and hated evil! Do we feel
like we cannot claim those characteristics for ourselves? This book
was not written only for those who fit Jobs character, but for all
of us who are servants of God. God used a man without spot so we
could see that trouble comes to all, even Job! When troubles come
to us, our first thought is, What did I do to deserve this? God is
telling us with Jobs story that there are times that we might not
be the cause of our troubles. It could be that God is calling us to
show the greatness of His work through our lives. Satan doesnt
think that we believers will allow God to do things in our lives
that we do not understand. Satan is out to show our deficiencies in
our faith. He wants to reveal how small our faith is and how soon
we will depart from it. God then entrust us with testing to reveal
the power of our faith to Satan and to the whole world.
Job goes materially bankrupt to start with. At the time of being
reduced to nothing materially, he looses his children and many of
his servants. Job be-lieved that everything in his hands, his
material goods and the children he had produced, were from the hand
of God. God had given them and God had the right to take them away.
That didnt mean that Job did not suffer with these loses, it meant
he accepted it as the work of God and he trusted God to be
righteous in all His works.
What about us? Daily we are either gaining material goods or we
are loosing material goods. Most of us never come to full loss, but
we deal with par-tial losses daily. Gloria and I went to a Cowboy
Camp meeting this week. We felt sure that God had spoken that we
were to be there this year. God did not provide the money for gas
until the night before. We laughed and rejoiced at the way God
provided, and then about half way to the camp the next day, our car
began (Continued on page 2)
THE MOST
UN-USUAL WORK
OF GOD
Thomas Jefferson
(Continued from page 8) Thomas Jefferson knew be-cause he
himself studied the previous failed attempts at government. He
understood actual history, the nature of God, His laws and the
nature of man. That happens to be way more than what most
understand today. Jefferson really knew his stuff. A voice from the
past to lead us in the future: John F. Kennedy held a din-ner in
the White House for a group of the brightest minds in the nation at
that time. He made these statements: This is perhaps the assembly
of the most intelligence ever to gather at one time in the White
House with the ex-ception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone.
When we get piled uponone another in large cities, as in Eu-rope,
we shall become as corrupt as Europe. Thedemocracywillceasetoexist
when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to
those who would not. It is incumbent on everygeneration to pay its
own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save
one-half the wars of the world. Ipredict futurehappinessfor
Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the
labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

JOB
-
2missing and we had to turn around and drive back home to get
our other car. While rejoicing over one provision, another major
need comes on the scene. That is Satans way of attempting to
destroy our joy and bring us back to worry and anxiousness. You
would think our first thought would be to remember just how God had
provided the night before. His provision the day before should
encour-age us that God will be there for all our needs today. Job
believed this and will-ingly excepted Gods work in his life.
Job 2:4-6 And Satan answered the Lord, and said, Skin for skin,
yea, all that a man hath will
he give for his
life.Butputforththinehandnow,andtouchhisboneandhisflesh,andhewillcurse
thee to thy face. And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, he is in
thine hand; but save his life.
KJV
Now we come to another testing. Its one thing to lose all your
material goods, but what about your health, which threatens your
life? Satan told God, Job will curse you to your face if you let me
touch his skin and bones. So God took the challenge and allowed
Satan to go further, but he could not kill Job.
Job wished he could die. Dying would have been much easier than
living at that point. But God continued to give him life. His wife
told him that the only way she knew to get him out of this pain was
to just curse God and let God kill him. Why hold on to your
integrity at this point? Job said, You speak like one of the
foolish women. That was foolish talk to Job, because he believed
his life was in Gods hand and it was Gods right to decide when he
should live or die.
There are many people committing suicide today because of not
wanting to live the life they have created, or the life God has
called them to walk. Many suicide victims claim to believe and
trust in God, yet they take the position of God and take their own
lives. Many of the men of God in the Bible begged God to take their
lives, but they never spoke of taking their own lives. There was
one man who knew that God had allowed his counsel to fail and that
soon he would die at the hands of the king. He went home and got
his house in order and set it on fire. Taking our own lives is the
height of playing God in our lives and playing God is what gets us
in trouble.
Job never turned on God. His three friends stopped what they
were do-ing and made an appointment to come and mourn and comfort
Job. How many friends do you have like that? They didnt even
recognize Job when they got there. For seven days they all sat in
ashes and didnt say a word. Wow! Not sure I have a friend that
could do that! Im not sure I could be quiet for seven days. As long
as they were quiet, the three friends were accomplishing what they
came to do. It wasnt until Job opened his mouth that the opinions
began to fly. Once we share our troubles out loud we might as well
expecte our friends to put their two cents worth in. After all, why
tell someone if you dont want their opinion?
Yes, there are two places were Satan tries our faith. That is
the works of our hands and our health. This is what our lives are
all about. Who wants to see everything you have worked for fall
apart? How many of us struggle with putting
our life before our worship. The hard-est thing we do is lay
down our lives on the altar and let God have His way.
You see, Jobs trials were not so different from our trials. The
dif-ference is, Job did not depart from his faith. Job would not
curse God and die, but instead he cursed the day he was born! Job
kept trying to justify himself because he couldnt see anything he
had done to call for these trials. Every time we attempt to toot
our own horn all of our short comings begin to stand out. His
friends tried to point out his possible failures so they could come
up with a reason why God had allowed all of this. They believed you
had to have done something wrong before you could go through
testing. That might have been what we believe if we had not read
the book of Job!
While they had some very in-teresting discussions, they didnt
solve a thing. I think about all the talk shows we have today.
Everyone wants to give their opinion and we all want to evalu-ate
their comments. In the end, our problems still exist and our
friends can-not solve them. We have lots of truths to speak about,
but if God doesnt bring deliverance, we are stranded! Some-times I
wish God would start talking to the people on the talk shows like
He did to Job. America needs to hear from God today.
I dont know where you are in life today, but if you are not
being tested, you will be. The trying of our faith is more precious
than gold! God is doing us a favour by testing our faith. While
testing our faith He will only do that which is good for us. You
may ask, What is good about loosing your chil-dren. We dont lose
our children. God changed where they live. We only lose the
privilege of being with them daily here on earth. All of us will
die. When and how is up to God and He only does that which is good
for the one He is tak-ing and those left behind. One day we will
understand and say, Well done! ----Jerry Brewster

THE MOST UNUSUAL WORK OF GOD

3MULTIPLYING OF THE FOOD!2 Kings 4:42-44
And there came a man from Baal-shalisha, and brought the man of
God
breadofthefirstfruits,twentyloavesofbarley,andfullearsofcorninthe
husk thereof. And he said, Give unto the people, that they may
eat.And his servitor said, What, should I set this before an
hundred men? He
said again, Give the people, that they may eat: for thus saith
the Lord, They shall eat, and shall leave thereof.
So he set it before them, and they did eat, and left thereof,
according to the word of the Lord.
This story reminds us of the feeding of the people in the New
Testament. Its a real miracle when God multiplies our goods. It
amazes me, when I do what God tells me to do, how He makes my
dollars go a mile down the road, but when I forget to seek His will
and His way, I dont seem to get out of the driveway before my
dollar is spent. When we were raising our house full of children,
many times we came to the last of our supplies the day before our
money would come in. We never went without! We learned to live with
whatever was available to us. We always lived our days to the
fullest and trusted God to be there tomorrow with the goods for
that day. My sister was petrified that I would leave town and drive
a hundred miles with just one dime in my pocket. I told her, if I
waited for money I would never get to go. We lived a full life,
believing God would always provide, and He did! Many years ago,
when our boys were pre-teens and our foster girls were teenagers,
we saw God do for us what He did for Elisha that day. Jerry had
been having lung problems and was in bed struggling to breathe. We
had been to the doctor several times that week and had spent
everything we had (we never used charge cards). I had enough money
to buy two chickens for lunch, which would give me 16 pieces of
chicken. There were seven of us and that would give everyone two
pieces each, with two left over. I didnt have any potatoes, but I
had green beans and pickled okra. It wasnt much of a meal but it
was sufficient. I put barbecue on the chicken and cooked it in the
oven. I didnt know what we would have for supper, but I could worry
about that later in the day. After Sunday school, one of the boys
in the class said, My folks are out of town, could I go home with
you today? What do you say? I said, Sure, we would love to have
you. My thoughts were, he could have the two extra pieces of
chicken. A few minutes later another boy came up and said, I heard
so and so is going to your house for lunch today. Can I come too?
Again I said, Sure, we would love to have you. My thoughts were, he
could have my two pieces of chicken and I would sacrifice. By the
time church was over there were four col-lege kids coming to our
house for lunch. I didnt know what I was going to do. It was just
happening. They all got in the car with me and I had one other girl
in the car that I had to take home. It dawned on me as I was
driving, that everyone in the car was talking about coming to our
house and this girl was the only one who had not been invited. The
Holy Spirit said, Gloria, everyone else is coming, dont you think
it would only be right to invite her? My response was, Invite one
more! I dont know how I am going to feed these. But I knew God
wanted me to invite this girl. About a block from her house I got
the courage to ask, hoping she would say no thank you. Her response
was, I would love to come to your house for lunch. We had a party
at my house last night and we had left over potatoe salad, tossed
salad & rolls.
If you can take me to my house Ill pick them up. I said, I can
take you!!! It was just what I needed to put with the chicken, but
there still wasnt enough chicken. What if I hadnt listened to the
Holy Spirit and had not invited that young lady? Jerry was too sick
to come to the table, so I took him his portion and the rest of us
gathered at the table. When I prayed for the food that day I asked
the Lord to make the food suf-ficient. Everyone ate until they were
full and when I cleared the table I had left over chicken on the
plate. We ate the left over for supper that night and it was
sufficient. I never thought about it that day, but I should have
counted the chicken bones. I know that the Lord multiplied my
chicken that day. I know how Elisha felt. God has done His work at
my table also! How often do we just panic when we should just stand
still and see the salvation of the Lord?
P.S. I must add this! I stopped to go into the house for
something and my cousin told me she had gotten the mail. So, I
stopped to look at the mail before returning to the paper. In the
mail was a check from the IRS. It was a refund. Jerry had paid when
we did not owe. We still dont know how they came to that
conclusion, but they sent back ev-erything we had paid. We have
three major needs right now and this check will take care of all
three. We were to leave for a meeting 200 miles away in the
morning. We didnt have the gas but we still planned to leave. Jerry
does not have the strength to raise the shop door (it is a large
heavy door) and we need a garage opener for him. This check will do
that. Next month we need to make a trip to Georgia and this will
take care of our gas for the trip. I never expected God to use the
IRS to bless us!!! Do you have a need today? Run to God and talk
your heart out. Then listen and see what He has to say to you. He
truly delights in meeting our needs. ----Gloria Brewster

4FEMALE
I N S P I R A T I O N S
By Gloria Brewster
I have just recently read through the book of Esther for maybe
some-where around the 70th time. I never cease to be amazed at how
you can never see all that the Word of God has to reveal to you.
This book is alive and you can never finish reading it!
Ive heard many things taught about Esther, but I want to think
about the way Vashti, Esther and Zerresh were used in different
ways. The three men were Ahasuerus, Mordecai and Haman. This book
is an excellent book to show how God works in the lives of man
kind, yet there is no mention of God in the book. His work is
obvious, but He is not called by name.
There is a power at work in this book and it is the power of the
king. All things must be accomplished through the authority in
order to do it Gods way. God has ordained the authority structure
as we read in Romans chapter thirteen. The authority in this case
is not a God fearing man. In all the work that involved the king,
we have no indication that he ever considered God in any of his
com-mands. His authority came from his position, not his
character.
It PLEASED the king to show off Vashtis beauty. Many claim he
was asking her to be immoral, but we do not have that written in
scripture at all. The story is pointing out her disobedience to the
kings command. What God is show-ing us in the book of Esther is how
to work with a king and how not to work with a king. Remember,
Jesus is King of Kings and we daily are to do our work through His
authority in our lives. Its important to know how to approach a
king. Also, your husband is the king of your home. We can learn
much in this book about how to serve our husbands.
Vashti had her own agenda for the day and did not want to leave
it in or-der to PLEASE the king. If she had any moral objections,
they are not written in scripture. I have always wondered why the
king sent seven men to get one lady! Either that was to show how
important the command was, or he thought it would take seven men to
convince her to obey!!! Vashti did not have a biblical reason for
ignoring the kings command. She just didnt want to go. Vashti was
out to PLEASE herself, not the king. Now there is anger in the
kingdom and the kings anger stirred everyone. Her actions effected
the whole kingdom. The other
women were with her and saw what she did. If she could get away
with telling the king no, then they would follow her actions. Our
actions never effect only ourselves. We have no record that Vashti
stopped and considered whether her actions were right or wrong. We
have no record that she consulted any-one but her own heart. She
did as she PLEASED and it did not PLEASE the king. She lost her
honor, she lost her crown and she lost her ability to come before
the king when she had a need. Vashti disobeyed the king and it cost
her greatly. She got her own way, but the way was not what she
thought it would be.
Prov 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right
unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
Vashtis action opened up the door for Esther to have a great
position with the king. Esther benefited from Vashtis actions, now
what would Es-ther do with the opportunity that was granted to
her?
The king gave another com-mandment. He commanded that every one
bow and do honor to Haman when he passed by. Mordecai disobeyed the
kings command also. Mordecai had a biblical reason for not
complying with the commandment of the king. Haman was of the family
that God said for the Jews not to honor. Also Mordecai re-served
these honors for God only and not man. He would bow to his
author-ity but not to man. The end results of Mordecais disobeying
ended in vic-tory and highest honor for him and his people. Oh, it
caused a great stir and scared everyone to death for a time, but it
was a worthy stand and God honored him.
I heard a wonderful sermon this week about obeying righteous
commandments and how to refuse un-righteous commandments. We must

THREE WOMEN AND THREE MENS RESPONSE TO AUTHORITY
-
5 Our sons are giving their lives to fight for our freedoms
while our country is turning away from God, who is our deliverer
and our savior. America turned her back on God when she took prayer
out of our class rooms and eventually from our service men. God
clearly tells us what to do to get help in time of need.
2 Chron 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall
humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their
wicked ways; then
will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will
heal their land. After we turned from prayer, we then turned to
killing our unborn children. We have killed millions of babies in
America and God will not hold us guiltless when their blood cries
out to Him.
Gen 9:6 Whoso sheddeth mans blood, by man shall his blood be
shed: for in the image of God made he man.
After giving up prayer and killing our unborn children our
country then attempts to get rid of the Ten Commandments. Our
country lives by situational ethics. We no longer respect law.
Ps
119:1Blessedaretheundefiledintheway,whowalkinthelawoftheLord.
Now our supreme court has ruled that same sex marriage is legal
and every state must accept the ruling. God is very clear in His
Word about how He feels about what we are doing. Lev 18:22-25

COUNTRY

6consider if it is a just and righteous command, and if it is,
we are to comply. Should it be unjust or unrighteous, we are to
first stand for that which is right, then keep a right spirit and
honor toward the authority that gave the command. Next, be prepared
to suffer the consequences that the authority will place upon you.
We are to suffer for righteousness sake, but we are not called to
make sure the authority suffers. Thats Gods business, seeing He has
told us, Vengeance is mine, thus saith the Lord.
We have Vashti who disobeyed and her honor was destroyed. We
have Mordecai who disobeyed and ended in honor and victory. Now let
us look at Zer-resh, Hamans wife, and how she responded to her
authority. Haman came home bragging to his wife and friends, about
what a good man he was. His greatest victory was being invited to
the Queens banquet, but then that horrible Mordecai was in his way
of really enjoying himself. Zerresh encouraged him to do evil by
suggesting he build a gallows and hang that man. He took her advice
and that was the very thing he was hung upon in the end. I hate to
see women who just say, Whatever you say dear, and they do no
thinking for themselves! We, as women have an obligation to God, to
ourselves and to those we serve, to THINK about what we do or say.
You cannot be a help meet if you do not know how to help. To help
is to point one in the right direction. We have no record of Haman
or Zerresh seeking any advice from anyone but their own selves.
They did what-ever PLEASED them. Their own selfish way ended just
like Vashti, in death to their dreams. Oh, we may not die
physically like Haman and his family, but our dreams die when we
leave God out of the decisions of our lives.
But then we have Esther! Esther found favor with all who knew
her. She was beautiful because she acted beautiful. Those who
served her, loved her. She never stopped treating Mordecai with the
respect his position required. The first thing she did when she
realized that she was in a hard place was to call for fasting and
prayer. She could not attempt the job she had been given unless God
and His grace were upon her life and she could know that she had
obtained His favor by seeking His face. She needed the work of God
done in the king before she ap-proached him! Esther realized she
was only the vessel through which God would work. She was not the
power! Actually, Esther also defied the kings command-ment. She
approached without being called, which was against the law. There
was an exception to the law. If the king wanted to, he could
approve her by rais-ing the scepter and giving her the right to
approach. She was taking a risk to her life, but it was important
enough to do so. You want to make sure that when you push against
the kings law your problem is life threatening. She said had they
just been placed in bondage she would not have approached him.
Instantly the kings heart was touched for Esther and before she
could even ask he promised her up to half of the kingdom! What a
good beginning. Esther was wise enough to know that she needed the
kings heart as well as his permission, so she gave God time to do a
work in his heart that would prepare him for her request. Haman had
been humbled before she even spoke her request. After the king gave
Esther the house of Haman and the ring to write a new law, she
would need the kings heart once more before it was over. In chapter
nine, verse twenty nine, it says that Esther wrote with all
authority. The kingdom was i
in Esthers hands because she PLEASED the king!
Haman set out to use the kings power for his own agenda. When
you use the power to hurt and destroy just remember that same power
can be used by others to destroy you! What goes around comes
around.
The theme of this book could be Who do you live to PLEASE?
Your-self or God! Everything seems right in our eyes until we weigh
it against Gods way. Esther and Mordecai sought God and they ended
in victory and total freedom to work their will through an ungodly
king. The reason everything falls in around us is because of a lack
of respect for our authority and a lack of seeking Gods
deliverance. You will not end up being PLEASED with your life if
you continue living to PLEASE yourself!
There is great honor to the per-sons who will do their work
through the person of God. Esther is still be-ing celebrated today
by the Jews. Her work will never be forgotten.
God is looking for Esthers to-day. What was it Jesus said to
every-one in the New Testament? Wasnt it, Follow Me? You cant
follow some-one until you get behind them.
Oh to be like Esther, a little or-phan girl who lived to obey
God and please others.
GODS WAYI want Gods way, to be my way,
As I travel here below.For there is no another highwayThat a
child of God should know
Though the way be long and rough,If He leads me tis enough.
I want Gods way, to be my wayEvery day.

TID BITS MONTHLY REPORT
These days are quite a change to our lives, but as always, when
God walks with you the walk is full of His goodness. Enoch had it
made. He walked with God and was not. Wouldnt that be a nice way to
go.
My health is a touchy thing. I have many good days, but every
few days my heart rate drops to dangerous levels and my blood
presure will not stablize. There is not anything that can be done
for this because I have a very tired heart. So, we do not run back
and forth to the hospital, we just take a step at a time and keep
going. We are not worried by the threat of death. That has all been
taken care of by the Lord Jesus Christ. We do not sit around
waiting for trouble, we look to see what blessings we will receive
today. This is the day the Lord has made. We will be glad and
rejoice in it. Tomorrow we drive 200 miles to go to the Cowboy Camp
Meeting that the Havens started 49 years ago. It will be hot so we
will only stay two days.
Words will never express our appreciation for all who have
supported us with love gifts these last 9 months. Every time there
has been a need, there has been a love gift that would cover that
need. We still have a need that we are hold-ing before the Lord and
we believe He will deliver that need in time to come also. Right
now He is meeting our daily needs and that is according to His
promise.
I have not been able to apply myself to work in Wonderful Word
while pastoring, but hope to dig into the work now. The printed
Word is very impor-tant and there is much left to do when it comes
to getting the gospel to the lost. Our son and his wife are in
Africa at this time giving the gospel to the lost. Our
granddaughter married a young preacher two weeks ago and they are
excited about serving the Lord together. All of our grandchildren
are being raised to share the gospel wherever God puts them. Our
children have a love for others and are instilling that love into
their children. What a joy to see God at work in the lives of our
family. We have our problems just like everyone does, but by the
grace of God we are committed to seeking God for our solutions.
