Sunday's On The Way...

The dark night of Hurricane Ike is over and the light has revealed that God has preserved us and is already working this mess into a blessing.  In the end, many will get new homes, much needed renovations, the support of friends and church family, and most of all the experience of trusting God through uncertainty.  It's definitely not fun, but is destined to bring new levels of maturity and growth.


I'm reminded of a recent prophetic word from John Ragsdale...
God is getting ready to change the face of this church and the way you are portrayed in the community.  You thought the transformation you’ve been going through the past couple years is what it is all about.  No, that was just getting you ready for what is about to come to pass.  There is going to be an outbreak of revival across America to off-set the things that have been happening in other places.  God is about to launch an outbreak revival across America because he doesn’t want anyone to say, “I got it from that place” or “because of that man”.  This [Triumph] is going to be one of the places revival is going to happen.  You are going to see miracles, signs, and wonders.  It will happen when nobody is even laying hands on them.  It is going to happen during worship. – even in the foyer, this will take place...


He goes on to say to the congregation that we would soon be faced with many choices...

Choices – Choose wisely.  Don’t be selfish.  Don’t hoard and choose fleshly desires.  Get rid of all doubt and unbelief.  Watch as God begins to multiply and multiply and multiply.  I speak multiplication over you.

No doubt that God is going to enable us to make the wise decisions necessary in the coming days and weeks to propel His purpose for our lives and families.  Hurricane Ike was no surprise to God and He's already got a plan to "work it for our good."

SUNDAY IS ON THE WAY!!!  This Sunday we'll reunite for church at Triumph.  All four Triumph congregations will have regularly scheduled services with lights, A/C (praise the Lord), and most of all the Presence of God.  We'll celebrate and give thanks for God's protection.  We'll worship, preach, pray, and encourage one another.  Now, more than ever, we can rally together as the family of God!

Come on home, power is being restored daily, stores are opening, and help is on the way!

Hello, Pastor Deamon! I am happy to hear that you and your family are safe and we are fine. Doug, my mother and I are at a campground in our trailer north of Jasper. Our home is fine. Both of my brothers' houses were flooded. One lives in Seabrook and the other in Bridge City but they and their families are ok. How did Pastor Brenda's house come out? I lost my phone evacuating the first day, and I haven't been able to call her. All my numbers were on my phone!
We look forward to coming home and will help whomever needs our assistance.
WE LOVE YOU!
Sandy and Doug
