August Message

You are instrumental in carrying Rapha's message to the world. Do not allow world conditions to move you to frustrations and fear. I say again that God could have placed you in any time frame within the last 17000 years. As I preached, this is the time period in which He created Adam and formed thee. You are here for a purpose and have chosen Rapha's message with which to unite your prayers and support. I have a CD or MP3 on the subject "The Creation/Recreation Story." This was recorded at a Christian University with whom I was affiliated. I think it will bless you.

In today's world, you will have every opportunity to allow frustration to surface. I wish for you to remember that we, at Rapha, operate within an area of protection not enjoyed by most of the Body of Christ. Their problem is apathy and spiritual lethargy. We, as Paul wrote to the church at Rome, "we then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak and not please ourselves."

I want to give you the translation of this very important passage. Strong (by your own ability) ought to bear the infirmities (feeble in any sense) of the weak (unstable, no foundation in all functions) and do not please (accept) ourselves.

I.E. We at Rapha are standing in the gap and watching from the wall for those who we sense need our prayer and covering. Some of these we probably will never meet personally.

Remain at peace and at rest.
