TRANSCRIPT
Many have been un-
faithful in their cove-
nants with God and
with man. They have
found themselves in a
place of sowing to the
flesh. For many, the
lust of the flesh spo-
ken of in Galatians 5
has consumed their
lives. In blindness
they have sown con-
sistently after the lust
of their flesh and their
2015 is going to be
full of unpleasant
reaping. How could
you ever believe
that you will reap
the blessings that
come from our Fa-
ther in heaven when
you have chosen to
do it all your way?
No matter what the
prophecies are for the
church in this New
Year, it will not keep
you from reaping what
you have sown. Your
only way of relief
from your sowing is to
return to your first
love through repen-
The law of Sowing
and Reaping found
in Galations 6 is not a
new subject with the
body of Christ in this
generation; however,
knowing something
and dealing with the
reality of it is two dif-
ferent things. W ith
this in mind, what is
the reality of what
you will be reaping
in 2015? Whether
you are a seasoned
minister, newly saved,
or someone that has
never accepted Jesus
Christ as your lord and
savior, this is where
we really get the truth
for your new year.
Yes, my friend, the
truth is you have been
sowing and you are
going to reap.
tance, quit making ex-
cuses, and stop blam-
ing other people. It’s
time to quit running
and begin to face the
truth that sets free. It’s
time to love, forgive,
and bless even those
you consider your en-
emy. Yes, it is even
time to be faithful in
tithes and offerings.
It is time to start
obeying God. Do not
be deceived, if you
keep sowing to the
flesh and refuse to re-
pent and become a
doer of the Word, life
can only offer you
what you have sown.
You will continue to
derail God’s plan for
your life and delay the
very blessing you
know He has prom-
ised. STOP, it is time
to quit living in a fan-
tasy world and take
responsibility know-
ing that you are the
deciding factor. We
pray that you will step
again into God’s grace
and ability so that

your destiny will
change to the God-
destiny that has been
prepared for you.
For those of you that
have chosen to walk in
the Spirit, walking in
love, being a doer of
the Word and not a
hearer only, way to
go! Your 2015 is go-
ing to be powerful,
full of God’s interven-
tion on your behalf.
You are reaping the
path that God has
called you to walk
with all the provisions
and blessings that God
has promised in His
word and through His
personal relationship
with you. You have
chosen to arise and
shine for your light
has come. You have sown love so you will be loved, be-cause you have sown joy, you will reap joy and because you have sown peace, you will reap peace. You have
been faithful in your
covenant and in your
giving in tithes and
offerings. You have a
year set to enjoy su-
pernatural provisions
of heaven. Your
money will go further
because God is keep-
ing the thief from
stealing from you.
You are going to reap
good measure, pressed
down, shaken together
and running over and
God will use man to
bless you. You are
going to bear much
fruit and enjoy a
hedge of protection
that extends to your
family. You will have
the faith to obey any-
thing God has for you
to do. Keep up the
faith and let the bless-
ing flow. Enjoy the victory God has ordained for you. In conclusion, the
truth sets free when
you embrace it.
We pray that the reality of Jesus Christ will be strong
with you throughout
Christmas and into 2015.

Galatians 6
Bear and Share the Burdens
Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you
who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of
gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be
tempted. 2 Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill
the law of Christ. 3 For if anyone thinks himself to
be something, when he is nothing, he deceives
himself. 4 But let each one examine his own work,
and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone,
and not in another. 5 For each one shall bear his own
load. Be Generous and Do Good
6 Let him who is taught the word share in all good
things with him who teaches.7 Do not be deceived,
God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that
he will also reap. 8 For he who sows to his flesh
will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows
to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. 9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for
in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good
to all, especially to those who are of the household
of faith. Glory Only in the Cross
11 See with what large letters I have written to you
with my own hand! 12 As many as desire to make a
good showing in the flesh, these would compel you
to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer
persecution for the cross of Christ. 13 For not even
those who are circumcised keep the law, but they
desire to have you circumcised that they may boast
in your flesh. 14 But God forbid that I should boast
except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by
whom[a] the world has been crucified to me, and I to
the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus neither
circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything,
but a new creation. Blessing and a Plea
16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace
and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of
God. 17 From now on let no one trouble me, for I
bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus. 18 Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be
with your spirit. Amen.
In Loving Memory of Rev. Dr. Marianne Pearson
On December 9th Rev. Dr. Marianne Pearson went home to be with the Lord. Marianne is the wife of
Bishop Dr. John Pearson, the Executive Administrator and Treasurer of Ministry International Inc.. (MII)
Marianne served on the Board of MII and helped plan social events and conferences.
Those of you who know Marianne know that she loved the Lord, she was a giver and taught women for
years how to bring glory to God through praise and worship. She loved to laugh and brought tremendous
joy to people everywhere she went. Marianne was a very loved part of our MII family and we greatly
miss her and her bubbly personality!
Psalm 116:15 ~ Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints. (Marianne is home at last!)
God gave us a precious gift, His
Son, Jesus, all wrapped up in a
package of human flesh and
swaddling clothes. Jesus gave a
precious gift to those who would
receive it, eternal life…
salvation. As if that weren’t
enough, God sent us another
gift, the Holy Spirit. Wow, we get all of God, all of Jesus and all of the Holy Spirit, plus eternal life. You
might be wondering what more
we could possibly ask for; how-
ever, if you know the heart of
God then you know that He
loves us so much that He de-
lights to lavish gifts upon us.
In that beautiful salvation pack-
age He included some pretty
amazing things. Psalm 103:1-6
– Bless the Lord, O my soul; and
all that is within me, bless His
holy name! Bless the Lord, O
my soul, and forget not all His
benefits; Who forgives all your
iniquities, Who heals all your
diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who
crowns you with lovingkind-ness and tender mercies, Who
satisfies your mouth with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
The Lord executes righteous-ness and justice for all who
are oppressed…
Shall I go on? Are you getting
excited yet? That’s the gift of
the Holy Spirit you feel stirring
inside of you right now. If you
don’t feel anything, back up
and read that scripture again,
this time a little more slowly.
This time as you read each
statement take the time to re-
member when He forgave you,
all the times He healed you,
when He redeemed you, when
He delivered you, when He
showed you mercy and kind-
ness even though you deserved
the opposite. How many times
has He renewed your strength?
How many times has He been
a shield to you? There are so
many times He protected you
and you don’t even know about
it!
I have children and when I
give them gifts it delights me
to see them enjoying and using
those gifts. How about we give a gift back to God? Let’s take Him at His Word. If
God says it, let’s believe it
without wavering. Let’s give Him joy by agreeing with His
Word and standing on His
promises! Let’s by faith,
receive all He has provided. If
you received a prophetic word
but haven’t seen it come to
pass yet, then contend for it. If
you’ve read a scripture about
healing but it hasn’t manifested
in your body yet, contend for
it. Agree with God and lay
claim to that which is yours.
He obviously wants you to
have it – He allowed the
darlin’ of Heaven to be
sacrificed so you could prosper,
body – soul – and spirit!
My heart beats with this one desire ~ To bless the Lord, O my soul and all that is within me. Bless His holy name!

As If That Weren’t Enough—Dr. Yvonne Waller
Psalm 31:19 How great is the goodness you have stored up for those who fear you. You lavish it on those who come to you for protection, blessing them before the watching world.

Merry Christmas to my MII family!
I am always amazed of how the spirit the lord moves and dwells amongst his children when we yield to his
presence. Recently, I had the opportunity to minister in a revival for about 4 days. What a wonderful ex-
perience it was. Anytime I prepare for a revival in that length of days, I fast and pray hard. This is so that
the Lord can move within me as his vessel.
Particularly, one night in the revival, the Lord prophetically gave me a word of knowledge concerning
someone in the room that needed healing from HIV! I openly said what the Holy Spirit inspired me to say,
“The Lord is going to extract the virus from your body.” I said that out loud.... Well, the next night the
Lord allowed me to minister to the individual and this person began to cry aloud and wail in the presence
of the Lord. I said to him personally, “The Lord is about to heal you completely.”
I got a call recently from the pastor who allowed me to minister at the revival and he was glorifying the
Lord on the phone with such great joy. He began to say repeatedly, "The Lord did it, the Lord did it,!” He
simply stated that the person I ministered to about the HIV called him to tell him that they had just left
their checkup and his doctor couldn't find the virus. They tested him twice and even called in 2 other spe-
cialists just to confirm that the virus was no longer there!
The doctors are baffled and simply asked him, “Where do you go to church?” The person who was healed
responded, “GOD DID IT!” Let's believe always in the power of our GOD! There is a balm in
Gilead!

My name is Jerry Cobb
and I have been on eleven
mission trips to Honduras
as a MII minister. We
work in the city of Talanga
with Project Manuelito.
This is a place where chil-
dren which have been
abandoned can go and
grow up in a safe environ-
ment. The Project was
started by a local pastor,
Jorge Pinto. He saw the
need and believed God he
would be able to make a
difference.
On the trips we offer our
service to help the nation-
als that work at the project.
Most of the work is build-
ing buildings to house the
children. We are not
skilled builders but we do
the work anyway.
The children at the project
have a song they sing. The
song goes like this, “We
don’t want your money,
we don’t want your pos-
sessions, we just want
your love!”
The real blessings in Hon-
duras are these children.
Each time we return we
think that we are going to
minister to the children
but they always end up
ministering to us. God is
God no matter where you
are. It is such a privilege
to go as a MII minister
and make a difference in
the lives of these children.

Much thanks to our MII ministers, family and friends that so gra-
ciously gave again this year to bless the children of Trinidad. We
were able to give out 120 pairs of nice tennis shoes and socks to
children that live in the orphanage and others that are from families
in the community that are struggling financially. It was prophesied
that we were to place a scripture in each pair of shoes as a declara-
tion over the children and their families.
Thank you for your generous hearts. We love you and bless you and
pray for a hundred fold return!!!!!

Do you find it amazing how that
during Christmas people find the
ability to bless family, friends
and even strangers? I love to
see everyone moving into the
state of mind that they are going
to be a blessing. We see more
joy in this time of the year than
any other.
Have you ever heard all the
wonderful testimonies of finan-
cial miracles? There are more
financial miracles during this
time of the year than any other.
The miracle of people that are
struggling to pay their bills and
put food on the table, all of a
sudden find the ability to buy
gifts, prepare major meals and
spend time with people they
hardly have time for in everyday
life.
The whole season of Christmas is
a miracle. Our heavenly Father
out of his love for mankind
started this season by giving the
greatest gift of all. John 3:16 It
is true that God gave us the best
gift ever given. He gave us his
son so that everyone that would
receive his gift would be saved
and have a place in eternity with
him, free from all the bad stuff.
I believe that as we celebrate
this gift of Jesus Christ that we
can’t help but get into the mind-
set of God’s giving heart. Let’s
call it a spirit of giving. Even
the story of Scrooge is about
when a self centered
Page 8
Christmas Giving
mean man, full of greed and
much pain, finds the spirit of
giving and the joy that comes
with it. The spirit of giving
changes people anytime they
enter into it. The nature of our
God is giving and love for
others seems to be mixed into
those that enter in.
Well, my thoughts are that
since we see love and miracles
multiplied during this season,
we ought to be doing this thing
called giving all year long.
After all, Luke 6:38 tells us
that when we give it comes
back in abundance.
So, I give a prayer for you this
Christmas that the spirit of
giving will find you and all
those around you so that your
season is filled with miracles
and lots of love.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
