Dearest Friends in Harvest,
Praise God from whom all blessings come and that you and yours are enjoying His blessings that he daily loads us with.

Hello again from my pen to your heart,

Have you ever read this powerful statement? “If you believe what you like about the Gospel, and reject what you do not like, it is not the Gospel you believe, but yourself.” AUGUSTINE 354 A.D.

Hello Neighbor, Summer has come to an end and autumn is knocking at the door. I cannot remember a summer that has been any more memorable than the summer of 2023. It is as though the tide of awakening is rising and the days of anticipation have stirred something deep within our hearts.

Missionary Greetings to You With a Missionary Heartbeat, How often I have wished you could have been with me as we have traveled in ministry and mission over the years. One of my favorite memories is the Serengeti, in Kenya.

Dear Praying Brothers and Sisters,

In the next few days, the political machine will be in full swing and it is time for a call to prayer. It is not that we have not already mustered the prayer force of Heritage but there is always a need to remind ourselves that when good men do nothing evil prevails. We have found it profitable to make declarations and proclamations that will resound in our hearts and the courtroom of heaven. Recently Sherry Brackney, one of our intercessors, shared with me a prayer that she has been praying from the Psalms, it could be a help to you as well.

Blessings to you and yours today and every day, A verse from Psalms pierced my heart today and I wanted to share it with you. It is found in Psalms 57. I want to share it from several translations to get the full picture of what is being said by David the Psalmist when he is in thick of the battle. I am reading from verse 6:

Choice greetings on a beautiful summer day,

Wow, what a week in the Tri-State. How wonderful it is for a pastor to see the church working together as one big family. Recently, I have coined the phrase ‘MOVING PARTS’ and this exactly what God intends for His church family to be.

Dearest Friends in Harvest,

This week I thought I would share a throwback from the 90’s. Truth is truth, and what was true 30 years ago is still true today. Looking back and looking forward, the message is still the same!

Your pastor and friend,
Cleddie Keith

Thanking you for your investment in souls, through the moving parts of Heritage Fellowship

The Battle Is Not Over Until You've Won

Today is your promised day of victory. David had developed a worship and victory spirit while he kept his father Jesse's sheep in the lonely desert solitude.

Bob Buess, who has been our guest on several occasions, is a great faith preacher. He recommends: Learn to sing the word of God. Keep a melody flowing out of your spirit. This keeps your soul clean and fresh. You may feel awkward at first but once you develop a melody, it will flow and flow. Practice abiding in the word of God.

Psalm 34: 1 "I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise shall continually be in my mouth."
Prov 27:21 "As a firing pot for silver and a furnace for gold; so is a man to His praise."
Psalm 74:12 "Let not the oppressed return ashamed, let the poor and needy praise His name."
Psalm 67: 5-6 "Let the people praise Thee, then all the earth shall yield her increase; and God, even our own God shall bless us."

What Do We Learn From These Scriptures?

• Let praise, VICTORY praise, be in your mouth instead of a negative report.
• Praise purges and purifies just as a furnace will purify gold.
• The oppressed break the oppressor's yoke through praise.

As we yield to joy and worship and praise in our lives, we draw God into our lives. As we yield to negative influence and complaint, we draw in the influence of the enemy. The Battle is the Lord's And It Is Not Over Until We Win!!
