Greeting Beloved & Precious Family and Friends:

Happy Thanksgiving to you all!  May our thanks be to our Lord Jesus!  Psalm 7:17 says  "I will give thanks to the LORD because of His righteousness and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High."

My Thanksgiving to My Lord Jesus:

I have so much to give thanks and praises to our glorious Lord Jesus and I decided to pick these three praise reports to glorify God today:

1. Two weeks ago, my friend said she was touched by God to give me a sun glass of around $1,000 by Cartier.  It is made of gold and leather.  Wow!  God is so good to me.  I am just a simple person and don't care about brand name stuffs but God always used others to give me nice things.  I got one recently with Prada and now another one.

2.  God has given me the Holy Spirit to know all truth and all things and His anointing to bring many miracles, healing, and deliverance in my life and my ministry!  God always talks to me and has ordained me as a minister of faith (watch the video about faith from Dr. David Cho (attached), later).  It is far better and greater than anything else in this world. Why?  All wisdom and knowledge and provision come from the Holy Spirit (the third person of the trinity God).  Jesus (the Holy Spirit) is our life, our truth, our way.  The following is a good example.  I took my two missionary friends to Santa Anita Big Canyon for hiking a week before last Monday, 11/12/12.  My head felt heavy and my body is weak due to much driving and not much rest, I guess because I had a busy week; I took my missionary friends to do outreach in different places.  Some received and recommitted their lives!  So exciting to share the joy of the good news from Jesus!   For many years, I don't believe sickness and therefore, by faith, I have not been sick.  I asked the Lord, "Why it happens today?"  Then, I decided to stay at my car alone and read and so I picked up "Our Daily Bread" and deliberately flipped to an article.  I read the Scriptures, Philippians 2:25-30 there.  I found that the faithful servant of the Lord, Epaphroditus, brother of Paul, was sick almost unto death (v.26,27).  I  was comforted by these Scriptures that reveal a good servant of God can be sick too.  I then looked at the date.  I found that it is the same date Monday 11/12/12!   Amazing! 

I then flipped the page to the date before, Sunday, 11/11/12,  and found the reading in front of me; that is Revelations 2:10 "...Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life."  Refer to http://odb.org/2012/11/11/faithful-unto-death/  My ministry is called Royal Crown of Life; Jesus gave me this name a few years ago one night at home!  I shared that before.  And I knew then God is using this to speak to me.   Then I flipped again to the date before, Saturday 11/10/12, I found Matthew 14:23 "And when He (Jesus) sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray.  Now when evening came, He was alone there."  I was in the same situation like Jesus.  I left my two missionary friends and was alone in my car to pray and to read on the top of the mountain!  It is so awesome to see how God used this little book "Our Daily Bread" and His Scriptures to speak and comfort me.  I cannot stop praising and thanking Him and His lovingkindness towards me!  My heart is like fire. It is my joy to love and serve Him forever.  I got to tell you that He is living!  Trust Him!  He loves us so so so much!  Thanks to my two missionary friends, Cheryl and Jubilyn to serve together with me for the few days!   What a team work!  I also enjoyed our two classes with them from Simchat Yeshua congregation by Minister Gene.  He made us read a lot of Scriptures and shared how to outreach to the Jews, Do and Don't issues.  Thanks Gene!

(By David Cho in Korea, A message on Faith.  I found this article from the news: "Korea has impressive achievements; God has blessed their great country! In a country where there are no minerals, raw materials, the country reached the heights in economy, sports, culture and most importantly in the spiritual development.  In Korea, 25% of the people believe in Jesus Christ! When you go around the city, the impressive picture with many churches and you realize that only God could raise the country out of poverty!")

(Israel and Hamas cease fire today!  Praise the Lord!  I prayed frequently for the last three days and especially last night in our Tuesday Prayer meeting.  Thanks God to take control of this battle.  May God heal the land and comfort those whose family members were killed.)

May God richly bless you and your family in this special Thanksgiving Day tomorrow!  God loves you and me too!  I just pray for you all! 

In Agape Love and Tender caring of our Lord Yeshua,
