Feast 2003 timing!


Dear Family,

We love you so much, and we're proud of you for striving each day to be what
Jesus needs you to be--for sacrificing so much for Him, yielding your
all, taking in His Words and letting them refresh and renew you. We're
proud of you for your faithfulness, dedication, and loyalty as disciples. We
admire you for rising to the challenges the Lord has presented us with this
year so far, and that you're growing stronger in Him each day, choosing to
give your all.

Our Husband has blessed us with so much truth, revelation,instruction, and
guidance; in fact, it seems He never stops pouring out to us His beautiful
treasures from Heaven. He spoils us as His brides every day of the
year, but the Feast is usually an extra special time of spiritual feeding, a
time to unite in prayer as one body. Each year we're blessed with something
different, yet always wonderful and priceless. We can't wait to
receive all that Jesus has prepared for this upcoming Feast and to pass it on to
you, but for now we wanted to let you know in advance about the timing of
Feast 2003 so that you can plan and prepare accordingly.

When we asked Him about the timing of the upcoming Feast, He confirmed that
it be held in January. He suggested beginning the Feast on Thursday
evening, January 9th, and ending Sunday evening, January 12th. However,
because in many areas of the world Sunday is a fruitful day for witnessing,
follow-up, Bible studies, and meetings, etc., as well as family day when parents
spend special time with their children, the Lord also gave us the option to
hold the Feast beginning Wednesday evening, January 8th, and ending
Saturday evening, January 11th. So this year, there are two choices as to when
to celebrate the Feast. Your COs will pray about this and will
communicate with you about the specific dates that the Homes in your area will be
celebrating the Feast 2003.

Each area should be in unity, with all the Homes in that area holdingtheir
Feast during one of the above-mentioned time frames. The Lord said that by
keeping the Feast days within these two options, we will still be
praying and uniting together at the same basic time, and He will bless and
pour out His Spirit in great measure.

Here's a message from our wonderful Husband and ever-faithfulWord-Giver, to
whet your appetite for what He has in store for us.

(Jesus:) The vats of Heaven are brimming with truth, revelations, and
instruction. There is no end. The flow of My New Wine never stops for those
who are yielded to Me, open, desirous, sucking, and worthy of My
truth. You, My brides, have proven yourselves worthy of My truth through your
many years of faithfulness, as you have treasured each drop I have privileged
you to receive.

I always have more to give. I know exactly what you need and when you need
it, and My timing and plan is impeccable. For the Feast 2003 I will
give you exactly what you need, My precious Family. It will be different than
last year, but just as fulfilling and rewarding. I will strengthen you in
spirit in the way I know is best. I will pour forth fresh Words from Heaven
that will be as thirst-quenching waters to you.

Look forward with great anticipation to the Feast that I will lay before you
for 2003. I'm choosing each morsel personally and your appetites will
be satisfied. No Feast menu is identical, but each time you sit at My
special banquet Feast I fill you with good things--strengthening,
enlightening, refreshing, muscle-building spiritual food. I am the Master Chef,
and I will set before you the very best of My spiritual delicacies and heavenly
dishes to feed and strengthen your spirits. (End of message from Jesus.)

Anticipating a feast of heavenly delights,
Mama and Peter
