Precious saints, it has been some time sense I have come to you with a morning message. It is an honor to write to you again! Whist going through my meditation this morning, my thoughts carried me to the August 2007 convention. I heard the choir singing and distinctly heard one of the speakers. I was then impressed with the thought, “Points of Contact”.

Points of contact refer to any righteous, happy, or good event in the past, where we know God was in the midst. When the present presents us with challenges, as it often does, we must learn to refer back to points of contact. In difficult situations, it is sometimes nearly impossible to feel God’s presence. However, by looking back, and knowing that God does not change, we can encourage ourselves to know that if God was with us, he is with us.

Another thought—we must always be on the lookout for God in our lives. When something good happens today, see God in it, and make note of it. Note the event in your mind, yes even write it down. Points of contact may come objectively from the spirit, or we can have a notebook where we write these things down and read through them during tough periods.

Finally, as we plan for the future, we need to plan for future points of contact. Set goals, both short term and long term. Look forward to victories, because with each victory we have yet another point of contact. We can accumulate so many points of contact, that the evil thoughts of doubt and fear will never have a chance to take root in our minds. Peace and power are yours.

I have the honor to be your obedient servant,
Rev. George H. Latimer-Knight
