Please continue to pray for Tom Malone as he was overnight in the hospital coughing
up blood. Coumadim, a blood thinner, caused his blood to be too thin. This is an effective, but dangerous medication which constantly has to be checked. It helps to prevent clots and strokes. All the tests were negative, and his medication was adjusted. He thanked God for this powerful medication which is helping him to be alive, but it has to be closely monitored. Let him remind you that we're in a great spiritual warfare as never before in these end times. Stand firm against Satan by putting on the full armor of God. In Eph. 6:10-20 we are to fasten the belt of Truth, breastplate of righteousness, feet of peace, shield of faith, helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God.

Purposely dedicate your life this Easter to service our Risen Lord in love with power coming from the Holy Spirit. Because Jesus lives, I also will live.
