Matthew 16:13-17 Now when Jesus came into the district
of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his
disciples, Who do people say that the Son of Man is? And they
said, Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others
Jeremiah or one
of the prophets. He said to them, But who do you say that I am?
Simon Peter replied, You are the Christ, the Son of the living
God. And Jesus answered him, Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah!
For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my
Father who is in heaven.

Greetings Westbourne Family,
Thank you for your prayers and interest in the Aviation
Ministry. No
doubt you are aware of the many bomb threats associated with
various
airlines, and I appreciate prayers for aviation safety. I am on
standby,
and on call 24- 7 should anything happen. I was called to a
sad
situation when a lady passed away on an incoming flight last
month. She and her husband were Hindu. They drove 6 hours to
the
airport and flew nine hours from South Africa to Amsterdam and
while
waiting on a 7 hour layover, a Christian lady who was returning
to
Medicine Hat who was from there same village befriended them.
On
their 9 hour flight to Calgary this Hindu lady complained about
chest
pains and by Gods provision there were three Doctors on the
flight who tried to revive her, but she passed away. I was called
to meet the
family and pray with them. This born again lady and I had an
instant
ministry connection. She shared how she had opportunity to
witness to
the family in this tragic situation. The Hindu couple were
coming to
Canada to spend three months visiting there son and daughter
in-law
who they had not seen for 30 years, and meet their grandchildren
for the
first time. I share these details because it is always amazing
to me how
God has his people postured for ministry opportunities, and we
need to
make ourselves available for Kingdom ministry callings. We
are
continually interviewing new Chaplains and appointing people
into
service.
Email me if I can be of assistance to you in your Spiritual
Growth and
visit our web page www.aviationchaplaincy.com we are busy
preparing for our next store and active in touching people with
the
message of hope.

How To Pray For Our Government
Franklin Graham: Praying for Those in Authority is a Biblical
Command
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS WHAT TO PRAY
I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers,
intercession and thanksgiving be made for all peoplefor kings and
all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives
in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our
Savior. 1 Timothy 2:13, NIV Petition means to ask. God urges us to
ask, and He is pleased when we do. Prayer is talking to God,
anywhere, anytime, in any way. Intercession is praying for someone
else. The Bible tells us that Jesus Christ constantly intercedes
for us (see Romans 8:34), so it pleases God when we intercede for
someone
elseincluding heads of state and others in authoritybecause we
are doing what Christ does.
Thanksgiving always pleases God, and the Bible specifically
tells us to include thanksgiving when talking to God about those in
authority. We are to pray respectfully
for leaders. Show proper respect to everyone, fear God, honor
the emperor (1 Peter 2:17). We are to pray with the clear
understanding that government authority is
established by God. Let everyone be subject to the governing
authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has
established. The authorities that exist have been
established by God (Romans 13:1). We also pray knowing that Gods
Word says, The kings heart is like channels of water in the hand of
the Lord; He turns it wherever He wishes (Proverbs 21:1, NASB).
