“So Jesus got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing and wrapped a towel around His waist. After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash His disciple’s feet, drying them with the towel wrapped around His waist. When He had finished washing their feet, He put on His clothes and returned to His place. ‘Do you understand what I have done for you?’ He asked them. ‘You call Me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord’, and rightly so, for that is what I am. Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. I tell you the truth, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.

Now that you know these things, you will be blessed IF you do them. (John 13:1-17)

Jesus knew:

“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers or this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” (Ephesians 6:12) After Pentecost, those that hated Jesus killed Stephen, but Stephen loved Jesus and was able to love them. That is the battle.

   If you are not sure about the global one-world government that hates the government that Jesus came to establish, fact-check the evil against these truths that are the foundation of that government. You don’t have to go any further than Genesis chapter 1 & 2. All the evil, in every shape and form is to destroy these 10 truths. There is only one God given government, all the rest are lumped into the opposing government of man, no matter what the title or location on the planet earth.

    Many thanks to the group of gifted musicians that lead us in worship at our Salt & Light fellowship on Sunday afternoons from 3-5:30pm at the Garden of Eden fellowship center 

14799 Avon Allen Rd in west Mt. Vernon.

Every Sunday, we make an effort to conduct our “orderly worship” as Paul described: “What then shall we say, brothers? When you come together, everyone has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. All of these must be done for the strengthening of the church.”

(1 Corinthians 14:26)

     

   Many thanks to our friends at the New Earth recovery homes and our local farmer friend that all donated aluminum cans for the Harvest Kids in the last two days. Lot’s of garden work today getting the elderberries in their new “tire” homes and getting the old Marrionberries removed and prepared to plant all new Marionberry and Boysen berries. Linda just got home from her 14 day, 3,800 mile mission trip (driving solo with Jesus) and our sister, Pam, worked real hard in the greenhouse to have plant starts potted in preparation for Linda’s return. We were also blessed with a family and their children that came to visit our friends in the petting zoo.

     We will be enjoying our Salt and Light family fellowship tomorrow at the Garden of Eden fellowship center from 3-5pm with a potluck afterwards. You are welcome to join us at 14799 Avon Allen Rd in west Mt. Vernon. This Thursday evening (April 20^th) at fellowship center, after breaking bread (potluck) together as we do every Thursday evening, we will have a foot-washing service to honor Jesus’ command to His disciples after washing their feet. (John 13:1-17)

     “When He had finished washing their feet, He put on His clothes and returned to His place. ‘Do you understand what I have done for you?’ He asked them. ‘You call Me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord’, and rightly so, for that is what I am. Now that I, your Lord and Teacher have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. I tell you the truth, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. Now that you know these things, you will be blessed IF you do them.”
