Inside This Issue: + Cozy, Reflective Time
+ She’s Driving!
+ Justified Jesus
+ Changing Directions
Cassidy, our youngest, is
learning to drive. And
when I asked Mark to
give her a few pointers,
he jumped in there liter-
ally (see his pointing finger in the
photo).
We’re very proud of
Cassidy and we pray the
Lord would give her
This is a bitter-sweet
time for us. One where
we will surely covet your
prayers!
wisdom as she learns the
tremendous responsibility
of maneuvering a two ton
vehicle along the crowded
highways. And that He
would surround her with
His protective angels as
He leads her down this
new journey into adult
responsibilities.
It’s That Cozy, Reflective Time of Winter
She’s Driving and He’s Pointing!
Winter. It’s typically cold
and snowy, and when that
happens we just can’t get
outside as much. But
winter does offer us a
great opportunity to relax,
get cozy and reflect.
God has been so good to
us. As we take a look
back, 2011 was a bit of a
whirlwind but it carried
us across this portion of
the country allowing us to
meet some amazing new
friends and watch God
work in miraculous ways.
Personally, our lives were
greatly touched in 2011.
God molded and shaped
us as He led us from
North Carolina to Penn-
sylvania to Tennessee and
all throughout Ohio.
This past year, True
Blessings Ministries
hosted four different
conferences. Through
them we witnessed the
Lord unite, deliver, heal,
save, and fill so
many individuals.
And with the Christmas
ornaments and year-end
decorations, as we box
away 2011, we want you
to know that we are so
very blessed by each one
of you. It’s assuring to
depend on the fact that
you’re a vital part of what
God wishes to do in and
through this ministry for
2012.
We appreciate your
prayers and support.
We don’t know what
2012 will bring, but we
anticipate great, BIG
things from our great,
BIG God!
We hope you’ll enjoy
browsing through
the pages of this
newsletter and reflecting
with us the goodness of
God over the past year—
and the anticipation of
what He has waiting for
us in 2012.

Happy New Year! Mark and I pray that this year brings you much peace in the Lord and many True Blessings! Many of you have been in a wilderness season and a season of unanswered questions and even what seemed to be a lack of direction. I can hear the Lord saying, according to Matthew 25:23, "Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let's celebrate together!”
I know it’s been a difficult season and one where we have all sought more direction and clearer discernment of the times. Many of us managed to get through this season by simply doing the little bit that we knew He instructed us to do. I had been praying and seeking the Lord regarding these matters when I was given a dream. In the dream, I was standing on a city street and I saw a banner being lifted over the street. There was such an excitement in the air and it was a celebration that was coming and the banner was going to announce it to all! I knew in the dream that the feeling was one of ‘finally, it’s time’ and hearts were filled with joy. When I looked up at the words on the banner, it clearly said, “JUSTIFIED JESUS!”
When I woke up I couldn’t forget the words on the banner. Justified was clearly a word that I would have never thought of on my own or placed on a banner with Jesus. I know He’s justified and justified in my own heart and the
Father has justified Him. It wasn’t JUSTIFY but JUSTIFIED and then it dropped into my spirit. Justified. Done deal. Justified in the hearts of man and justified to where there is no more questions and no more doubt. Proven.
Justified: To demonstrate or prove to be just, right, or valid.
Knowing in my heart and spirit that every little step that we take in God is a test that we pass in order to be able to be trained and seasoned in order to be trusted with more, tells me that more responsibility is coming to us all now. It is time be a full demonstration of the power of Jesus Christ to those who we encounter and use every moment we can to be a witness to others so that we can attend the celebration that is sure to come! Can you imagine a move of God in a city so strong that they are celebrating in the streets knowing He is proven to all?
Let’s celebrate together! Happy New Year from our house to yours!
In His Love, Mark and Sue Knauff

Christmas offered us a sweet time of fellowship with Pastor Marcia Ferko, as her
church hosted a Christmas Fellowship dinner. Pastors Kelsey and Terry Crenshaw
and their ministry were able to attend as well as Dennis and Vicki O’Daniel. Like
everything Pastor Marcia’s church does, this event was very elegant, loving and
honoring to
Jesus and
all guests.
