The most important thing in life is your FAMILY. There are days you love them, and others you don't. But, in the end, they’re the people you always come home too. Sometimes it’s the family you’re born into and sometimes it’s the one you make for yourself. So in a Family Love is spelled TIME.
where he is taking us as a family as well as individually.
This is a year of “Alarm”
Alarm - any sound, outcry, or information intended to warn or grab the
immediate attention of
Intentionally God is grabbing the attention of his people and making us an
“Alarm” to others.
For some of us 2015, was a year that made us feel robbed, assaulted and almost taken out. The attacks of the enemy were fierce, but this year we
sound “the alarm.” We put the enemy on notice, we speak a distinctive sound into the atmosphere.
You must sound the alarm! Regardless of how things may seem, we must put
a sound in the atmosphere.
In 2016, our sound will be the source of production in our life. God is allowing in this year, that we speak with authority and expectation, a change in our lives and circumstances surrounding them. Remember your sound is
producing.
Produce positive effects in your atmosphere. Don’t allow negative energy to invade your atmosphere this year. Sound the Alarm. Speak to your life and command Destiny. Speak to misdirection and command a turn around. Speak to insufficiency and command abundance. Speak to what seems to be
dead and demand life.
In 2016, don’t settle for nothing but the best. Don’t let the enemy run over you. Sound the Alarm. Produce positive outcomes with the sound God has given
you.
This Year let’s Sound the Alarm and Produce Life.
—Pastor Darrell Howell All For Christ Ministries
Joel 2:1 15 1. Blow ye the Trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand; 15. Blow the trumpet in
Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:
Hello family, Welcome to 2016!
I hope you are excited about what God is doing and
INTERESTING TIDBITS ABOUT JANUARY
JANUARY QUOTE Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow; The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
-Lord Tennyson Alfred
January is known as the wolf month to the Anglo-Saxons because in winter,
wolves came into the villages to search for food. It is the coldest month in the northern half of the world, nature is quiet and the birds travel less. Also, the bears and woodchucks go into hibernation. However, in southern half of the world, January is the warmest month. During this time, unlike the northern half of the
world, animals are active and plants are growing.
The month of January also has the following themes: National Blood Donor Month, National Braille Month, National hobby Month, National Soup Month,
and National Staying Healthy Month.
Jan 1st—In addition to New Year's Day, it's also Polar Bear Plunge/Swim Day.
Each year in Coney Island, NY a group of brave souls jump into the freezing cold water. Groups of "Polar Bears" get together throughout the colder months, but
1/1 marks this popular Coney Island boardwalk event.
Jan 8th—Elvis Pressley Birthday
Jan. 10, 1920—League of Nations formed.
Jan. 11, 1908—Grand Canyon monument was created.
Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday is held to observe the birthday of Rev. Martin
Luther King, Jr.
King was a key figure in the civil rights’ movement and was an advocate of using
nonviolent means to protest discrimination.
Martin Luther King, Jr. was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 as a result
of his dedication to fighting for civil rights without resorting to violence.
King was assassinated in 1968 and many civil rights’ activists petitioned for a holiday to be declared in honor of the civil rights’ leader. President Ronald Reagan declared a holiday in observance of the birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. and the first Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday was observed on 20 January 1986.
Because Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is a federal holiday, all non-essential federal employees are given the day off. Most schools are not in session and
there is no mail service on the holiday.
The purpose of the public holiday is to remember the struggles that people have had to overcome to obtain civil rights. As the holiday approaches,
many schools dedicate class sessions to teaching students about the importance
of preventing racism and other forms of prejudice.
—Sometimes, life will kick you around, but sooner or later, you realize you're not just a survivor,
you're a warrior, and You’re stronger than anything life throws your way. Martin Luther King Jr.
Martin Luther King, Jr.’s
actual birthday is 15 January 1929. The observation of the holiday celebrating his life and recognizing his accomplish-ments in the civil rights’ movement is designed to fall near his birthday, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Day has been held on the third Mon-
day in January since 1992.
