Here at Tim Greenwood Ministries, our
mission is to diminish the kingdom of darkness by lifting up the
marvelous light of Jesus Christ!
That is exactly what we are doing through our God-given vision.
Our God-given vision to:
SAVE the lost; EQUIP the saved; EDIFY the equipped; DELIVER the
oppressed; teach the FAITH that pleases God and the AGAPE' love of God,
and provide INSTRUCTION for the renewal of the mind, TRAINING for
leadership and HEALING for the sick.
Through, and since my healing from terminal heart disease, we have with
the help of the Holy Spirit, learned what faith really is, how it works
and how to utilize it as God intended. We have come to know the very
heart of God and have been allowed to grasp the awesome role of His
love in our lives through His Word.
Faith and love through the Word - it sounds so simple. But the
applications of properly combining these can result in you operating at
ever expanding supernatural levels in the areas of salvation, healing,
deliverance and more. We desire to teach you these things, and with
your help carry this teaching around the world, building up the body of
Christ to complete the ministry of Jesus Christ through TGM.
Tens of thousands of lives have already been touched and changed
through salvations, healings, deliverances, and families turned right
side up through TGM outreaches.
But now, God wants us to prepare for a huge wave of people that is
about to come into the Kingdom. God has spoken to me about transforming
today's church members into tomorrow's leaders and to help pastors
prepare for what is about to come upon the church.
We are asking God for 500 people to partner with us during 2011 to
fulfill this mission and accomplish this vision. Will YOU help us to
reach people with the good news by giving a gift of $20 or more each
month? We believe that God will bless you mightily!

Hope
- the hope talked about in the Bible is a necessary commodity to
receiving from God. This hope should not to be confused with "a
wish."
When we think about it at all, we tend to focus on hope only being a
verb or an adverb such as "a desire with anticipation," "a desire with
expectation of obtainment" or "the expectation of fulfilment or
success," all of which are true and applicable.
But what has been hidden from us is that HOPE is also a noun.
That is to say, "someone or something on which hopes are centered."
Too often we place our hope on something tangible. When I became
ill my future hopes were based upon the success of my open-heart
surgery. When the surgery failed and I was dying, (you can read
my testimony of healing from terminal heart disease in my book "Walking
in Faith"), I placed my last hopes in all manner of medications and
therapies. Even though each provided some temporary relief, they
all, in turn, failed, causing my hope to flee like escaping birds,
leaving only an empty cage.
In the first Star Wars movie Princes Lea placed a recorded message in
the little droid that said, "Obewan Canobe, you are our only HOPE!"
Well, that was fiction, but this is fact: JESUS IS OUR ONLY
HOPE. You see, our hope, (your hope), should not only be based
upon something but rather someone. And that someone is Jesus.
Without JESUS you have no hope and here is why:
First, let's establish just WHO this Jesus person is.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
John 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
John 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
John 1:5 And the light shines in darkness; and the darkness overcame it not.
John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
John 1:11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to
become the children of God, even to them that believe on his name:
John 1:13 Who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and
we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,)
full of grace and truth.
John 1:15 John bore witness of him, and cried, saying, This was
he of whom I spoke, He that comes after me is preferred before me: for
he was before me.
John 1:16 And of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace.
John 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth
came by Jesus Christ, (the Anointed One and/or His anointing).
John 1:18 No man has seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him.
In the above passage, we see that John, probably in Jesus' eulogy is
unveiling the Godhead all the way back to Genesis 1:1, which is exactly
where we will pick up next month. TGM
