Merry Christmas????

On By josephbarlowIn Uncategorized1 Comment
Hey Friends,

Well for years we’ve been trying to do a Christmas letter. It has happened once or twice, but I’m not sure we had any kids then. 

Well it finally happened. Not in time for Christmas, but I hope you enjoy reading it.
This is what we looked like a few years ago.

Blessings on you

Son, my Spirit is with you. 

Rely on Him. 

He’ll never fail you; never let you down. 

Look to Him. 

He’ll guide you and show you what to do and how to do it,
all through the day. 

Receive it. 

He is such a gift to you.


Bless you friends, hope this word from Him helped you today.

Gotta Stay Steady

On By josephbarlowIn TeachingLeave a comment

Hey Friends,

Heb 12:1 …let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,  

It is so easy to get side-tracked. It is so easy to get knocked off track. But you don’t have to let that happen.
Discipline yourself to go back to the things you wrote down. Those things you wrote when you were being inspired. The things that make the road before you clear.
Emotional storms may come. Go back to what you wrote.
Fear may come. Go back to what you wrote.
Uncertainty may come. Go back to what you wrote.
But Joe, I haven’t written anything yet.
Well, if that’s the case, I think you know what you need to do.
Blessings,
Joe

Time To Get Away

On By josephbarlowIn Uncategorized1 Comment

Hey Friends,

Nancy & I are getting away for a few days to pray and seek the Lord. There is so much coming up in this new year we’ve got to have the Lord’s direction.

The church is going great and so are things with the family. We are starting a new ministry called Joseph Barlow Ministries. The focus will be on:

  • Music 
  • Ministry
  • Missions
There is so much that God has put on my heart to do, I’m excited to see the future. 
Keep us in prayer.
Keep Joseph Barlow Ministries in prayer.
The Lord showed me the first thing to put in place is the prayer structure.
So I want to recruit some people to commit to pray for me.
The Lord will provide the right people.
Blessings on you all.
Jesus loves you
So do I

Prayer

On By josephbarlowIn Prayer, Teaching1 Comment

Hey Friends,

I’ve been noticing something interesting in the media (news, movies & shows). I’m sure you know this but they don’t make any room for God. 
So many shows are about the badness or goodness of mankind. They depict a world in which God does not exist, has no voice or doesn’t matter. 
But this is a lie. The portrayal of this world view is a lie. It does not tell the whole story. 
God is present. He is real. 
Many don’t see Him because they reject Him. 
Many don’t see Him because they’ve never heard the Gospel. But God is real. He is present. He is available to all who call.
He has made a way to be active in your life. He doesn’t like to barge in. He likes to be invited.
Give God an invitation to move, work, act, speak in your life today. 
The Bible says that anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
His name is Jesus.
Simply pray!

Nothing but Me

Hey Friends,

Here’s an entry from my journal the other day. Hope it helps:

Father, I love you.

Love me, son; with all your heart. Let me lift you. Let me strengthen you. 

You’d be amazed and you don’t know yet how much my power can lift you and strengthen you. You haven’t experienced it. 

But are you sold out to me completely? Have you given it all up for me? What are you holding on to that is so important that it’s more important than me? Examine these things. Let my Holy Spirit show you what is holding you back; what you are holding onto. 

I love you son. Be free from the constraints and trappings of this world. The satisfaction to come to you far exceeds what you’ve experienced. 

Nothing but me. Let that be your focus: nothing but me. Everything else will fall into its proper place when there is nothing but me. You’ll see how everything fits.
