Since the panic of last year when the recession was announced we have seen a decrease of 60% in giving to Missions work. We are not alone. I have spoken with several Missionaries on the field who have faced similiar declines in their monthy support making it almost impossible to serve the communities and people groups they have been sent to help. This shortage has caused us to cut programs. We have suffered greatly in 2009 Don't let Missions slip by each month. It may mean cutting out your favoirte restaurant once a month or something else. Keep the Missionaries on te field and funded. This I ask in Jesus name, This I pray in Jesus name.
At current we are $1000.00 in the red going into Nov. Bless you all who continue to keep missions in your heart.

UNFORGIVENESS
Let me share something with you about unforgiveness. It is one of the few sins that will keep you from walking in the kingdom and can cause you to lose your salvation and spend eternity in hell. I have listed the 10 stings of fear below that Holy Spirit has revealed to me.
1) Offence
2) Pain
3) Wound
4) Anger
5) Unforgiveness
6) Resentment
7) Bitterness
8) Hate
9) Revenge
10) Death
These will run there course and unless taken to the cross they will end in death.
Time does not heal all wounds; it only makes them more sensitive. You know that offences will come and more than likely from those close to you. Never take offence; you must release it by forgiveness. Before the pain sets in. The pain of offence is like cancer it will never stop eating away your joy and peace. It will leave large open wounds that can only be healed by forgiveness. The Holy Spirit went on saying that if the wound is not dressed in the blood then anger will follow. You will become angry about the offence. The pain and the fact that you have been hurt and this will lead to unforgiveness which is then manifested by resentment, then bitterness which will destroy the body. After bitterness has destroyed the spirit man there is nothing left to do except hate which at some point will then lead to revenge and then death. The enemy’s goal in offence is to get you to come full circle to bitterness and hate because it is at this stage he will be able to use you to contaminate others.
Let’s take a look at these stings
OFFENSE
Mat 18:7 Woe unto the world because of offense! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!
Mat 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and [that] he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
These scriptures reveal the anger or displeasure that God holds against them that bring offence to others or the body. Gods anger is great in this area because of one thing. Offense will cause a brother to stumble and we are not to be stumbling blocks to others in a race that is difficult enough in itself.
There is another warning in Pro 6:16 These six [things] doth the LORD hate: yea, seven [are] an abomination unto him:
A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
Pro 6:19 A false witness [that] speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. HE THAT SOWETH DISCOURD OR OFFENCE AMONG THE BRETHREN.
It would be easy to develop a hard shell and keep our distance from everyone. Some Christians who have been hurt build walls to keep everyone out but Jesus. Jesus will never accept a life behind any type of walls. He will try to break through, be आईटी through a sermon a fellow brother, a movie, a teaching or by any means necessary that those hurting can experience joy again। We need to be wise and realize that offenses are going to come and at times daily from the ones we love or maybe your boss or co-worker. No matter how hard we try to be friendly or love those around us. Offenses will come. We should never be caught off guard and never put men in a place that belong to Jesus giving them unmerited access to the issues of our heart. .We need to keep Jesus high and lifted up.
We also need to be careful in guarding our tongues so as not to offend others, as Paul said the tongue is set on fire from hell. It is indeed a foul little member and who can tame it. We will fall short. This is why we need to extend grace to others an sow what we need. Once the sting of offence has entered into our heart it will quickly and I mean quickly grow into a deep pain that will escalate the downward spiral.
