Lighthouse Family,
 
I trust each of you is enjoying knowing the person of Jesus Christ and continuing to walk in a manner worthy of the Kingdom. Also, keep your minds and hearts on those who are relatively new to Lighthouse. We have just finished the first half of 2009; only six months remain in this year. All of us must remain diligent in prayer and in your spiritual walk. Remember, there is a glory that we must walk into in this Kingdom.
 
This spiritual foundation will be completed in this house. Then our Father will raise Lighthouse up. We will do what the Father desires. The impact of this
Kingdom will be accomplished. As each one lives fully unto Christ, we prepare for the days ahead.
 
Remember, our lives are not for ourselves, but for the person of Christ. Diligence and obedience will form this body for the future. Do not forget the power that is in you. Live daily with expectation to leave signs and wonders for the unbeliever.
Finally, seek those things that are above. Every day allow Christ to give you the Kingdom. Be prepared to give an account of the joy of your salvation. Each of us knows how hot the weather has been of late. The kingdom has more fire and fervor than the heat of this summer.
 
Let us continue to turn our hearts and minds to Christ.  I promise you this scripture will become alive.  You will not be disappointed in this kingdom.
 
Your shepherd,
  
Pastor Ronnie

June 2009

Dear Lighthouse Family,

Here we are in the month of June 2009. The year is half way lived. The Lord has been most gracious to each of us. Now you are in the forming of the inner man. It is wonderful to see so many of you embracing the truth. The sowing of the seed you are given makes you free.

I believe the Lord Jesus Christ is accomplishing His will in this house. You are to be edified for your determination to deny self, to pick up your cross daily and follow Him. The foundation of Christ is being laid in all who do follow Him.
Suffer until He perfects and settles you. See the glory beyond the test. This is much of the New and living way Always remember to feed those around you. You have shown so much love, care and support when needed. Continue to live in this way for it confirms the love of Christ.

Finally, remember pressure causes forming. I once worked in an injection
molding plant. Plastic would come in the form of little pebbles. It was them poured into a hopper. Gravity fed the pebbles through the machine. It heated and forced the pebbles into a mold. A few seconds later the plastic came out formed. It took pressure, heat, and time. Then it had to be trimmed of excess plastic.

You are being formed the same way. The word of God is the seed that will form you into the likeness of Christ. Embrace the pressure for in it perseverance will be formed. Every part of your day is necessary to turn you toward the will of Christ.

It is our joy to watch you grow. Remember we are here when you need us.

Your Shepherd,

Ronnie Cannon

May 2009

My Dearest Family,

I speak to you on behalf of Christ whom I serve. We have now entered the fullness of the last moments of this Age. The Rapture of the church is soon to be at hand. The last laid plans of the Kingdom of God are now being implemented.

Souls of men are being prepared for the last call before our eternity begins. The chaos and uncertainty of this world is playing a vital part in preparing many to come into the Kingdom.

Are we ready, Lighthouse, to live the Father's will fully? Ministers of this Kingdom, are you ready to spend hours with people who need to be taught? Are you ready now to sow what has been sown into you? Are you ready to lay down your lives without hesitation?

I am telling you the truth. Your lives at this point have been easy. Imagine, spiritually, with me for a moment, this church – every one of you – with the same thing in mind, one common purpose: to go beyond a few words of witnessing, to embrace the Spirit of one day living, to live each day truly like your last breath will be at midnight, to have such focus of edifying each other, to have the knowing that your last day you will open your heart and speak every occasion to present Christ during your day.

I have for years seen the business of this Kingdom becoming everyone's life. The time is upon us now. No time for flesh, no time for sin. The time is here that all selfishness is put away. The time to grow aggressively and the discipline to stay focused are being released by drawing nigh to Christ Jesus. The day is come that the earthly treasures are seen for what they are-earthly. Our true treasures become heavenly.

Finally, as each day passes, this body is being spiritually turned to what has just been spoken. I am telling you the truth. There is much joy in this truth. There is much satisfaction in knowing our call.

Follow me as I follow Christ. Look around you every week you come into this house. You will see the Father is building this house. Our labor is not in vain. Our persistence shall see her fruit.

Hold tight for the Father is about to make a mighty move in this house.

Your Shepherd,

Pastor Ronnie
