Cowboy Campmeeting in Keene, Texas: Update from Bunny Reid (held last weekend) 

We had a great crowd on Friday night,(275) on Sabbath the crowd was less (about 175-200). In the past, the attendance on Friday was always less and Sabbath was our big day. We had less SDA's than in previous years, perhaps some fallout related to our new church. However, we did great with our book give away. We had a variety of books along with many of your, Larry Wilson's, books supplied by our members who are into last day events and your writings, and of course Wake Up's generous price for shipping only.  We gave away all of the Warning books and I think most of the No More Delay books. I will get more information at our Business meeting on Wednesday night. We had a lot of the yellow books on the Seven Trumpets and still have some left. Jesus The Alpha and The Omega all are gone and also Bible Stories with End Time Parallels I think are all gone.  Some of our members were upset because our attendance on Sabbath was down, but I told them to look at the books we gave away. You never know what harvest that will bring in. We also had two decisions for baptism and will have a baptism next Sabbath on our one year anniversary celebration for our church, focusing on the way God has blessed us!

Something to Ponder 

After Surrender— Then What?

By Oswald Chambers

I have finished the work which You have given Me to do. —John 17:4

True surrender is not simply surrender of our external life but surrender of our will— and once that is done, surrender is complete. The greatest crisis we ever face is the surrender of our will. Yet God never forces a person’s will into surrender, and He never begs. He patiently waits until that person willingly yields to Him. And once that battle has been fought, it never needs to be fought again.

Surrender for Deliverance. “Come to Me…and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). It is only after we have begun to experience what salvation really means that we surrender our will to Jesus for rest. Whatever is causing us a sense of uncertainty is actually a call to our will— “Come to Me.” And it is a voluntary coming.

Surrender for Devotion. “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself…” (Matthew 16:24). The surrender here is of my self to Jesus, with His rest at the heart of my being. He says, “If you want to be My disciple, you must give up your right to yourself to Me.” And once this is done, the remainder of your life will exhibit nothing but the evidence of this surrender, and you never need to be concerned again with what the future may hold for you. Whatever your circumstances may be, Jesus is totally sufficient (see 2 Corinthians 12:9 and Philippians 4:19).

Surrender for Death. “…another will gird you…” (John 21:18; also see John 21:19). Have you learned what it means to be girded for death? Beware of some surrender that you make to God in an ecstatic moment in your life, because you are apt to take it back again. True surrender is a matter of being “united together [with Jesus] in the likeness of His death” (Romans 6:5) until nothing ever appeals to you that did not appeal to Him.

And after you surrender— then what? Your entire life should be characterized by an eagerness to maintain unbroken fellowship and oneness with God.

Scripture Thought for the Day

John 17:1-4—After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed. He said, "Father, the time has come. Bring glory to your Son. Then your Son will bring glory to you. You gave him authority over all people. He gives eternal life to all those you have given him. "And what is eternal life? It is knowing you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. I have brought you glory on earth. I have finished the work you gave me to do.

Comments

• Ken: Praise be to our great King & Lord, God Almighty!
• Kathryn: I’m praying for Larry Wilson. He has blessed my life and turned it around. I am giving out the Warning and No More Delay books left and right. Everyone I am offering them to are taking the books. I am praying that God will send people to my home who want to study all of Larry’s books.

Prayer Requests

• Bob: Since Bob lives so close to the Wake Up office, he is able to pick up booklets for free since no shipping is required and hand them out everywhere he goes. Pray for Bob’s interaction with others and that the Lord would continue to give him the words to speak to others.
• Kathryn and others: There are people all over that are wishing they had someone to study Bible prophecy with. Pray that the Lord would bring them the right people.
