JANUARY/FEBRUARY NEWSLETTER

Berean Publications

Newsletter ~ January / February 2009

To our dear friends,

We pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Glory, might give unto all of you, a spirit of wisdom and revelation, not just in knowing Him, but also in the acknowledgment of Him. And, that the eyes of your understanding might be flooded with light so you can know, in a way no one can take from you, not only the hope of God’s calling upon your lives, but the hope of knowing His enabling grace in your life.

Even during these days of trouble, when we have felt discouraged and weary, the Word of the Lord let us know that we have only just begun. The conviction grows within my heart that the Word of the Kingdom, empowered by the Holy Spirit, holds the only answer and guidance there is for the days ahead. I am not a philosopher nor a person who can look into the current state of affairs and come up with answers that will resolve the riddles of the times or provide answers where there seem to be none. But, I encourage you to come with us as we delve into what the Prophets have for us as we move into what may be the most formidable time the nations have ever known.

It is those of us who have given ourselves over to the love of the Truth, as well as the personal government of God’s Kingdom, who will be able to navigate the murky waters of the irregular rivers we shall be forced to sail while this age moves toward its consummation. Please move with us and get as many others as you can to come along, as we open ourselves to the Covenants, the Prophets, the Word of the Kingdom, the unfolding teachings of the Lord Jesus and His Apostles, along with what His Spirit has to reveal to us.

While we may not move on a rigid schedule, we expect to put out several Maschil articles this year with a focus on the prophesies of Daniel. We have wanted to do this for some time now, and many of you have requested it, so please pray that the darts of interference will be held at bay while we bring this Word to you. As we are moving along we will make expanded booklets available for each of these important studies.

Once again we thank you for your support and your prayers. You are important to this ministry. This body, though it is scattered throughout the nations, will hold some of the most prepared and ready people for the days to come. We love you and want all of you to stand in the strength and glory the Lord has made available to us through His Spirit and in His Word.

In the Love of Jesus, Ed Corley and our Berean family…

Note from Susanna:

Dearest Friends & Saints… We’re still here operating on Jesus Standard Time... Oh, the patience that is required. We deeply appreciate your patience and your standing with us in these difficult times. What a wonderful time to learn some of the most valuable lessons that Jesus came to earth to bring. We’ve come to realize the importance of hard times in teaching us obedience just as Jesus ...learned obedience by the things which He suffered—Hebrews 5:8. I can't help coming back to that many times in the day. It astounds me... just the idea that Jesus learned obedience through the things which He suffered! Just meditate on that and let the implications soak in. It is astounding to me! So, we are learning to rejoice in these things that we suffer that we might also learn obedience. And, Oh! how necessary that is going to be in the days to come.

We call out to you to follow Daniel’s lead as he told us… They that understand (the maschilim) among the people shall instruct many (11:33). That’s us and the time is now. As more and more people are beginning to hunger for the truth we need to step out in boldness to offer a more sure hope.

We have gotten a bit of a late start, but we are of course, going through The Discipline of Intercession again. If you would like to receive the 2009 “prayer-starter” booklets, please let me know! The material is costly to produce so we want to be sure that all who receive them do indeed want them and are interceding with us. Even though we’ve been through this discipline for years we expect this year to be full of new and exciting revelations relevant to the days we are living in. As awesome as last year was, I believe this year is going to be even better as we focus on the preparation of a Kingdom people to withstand whatever the enemy might throw at us in his attempt to wear us out. These first two booklets, though they are late, are well worth the wait. Don’t try to rush through them because you will miss out, just like you would have if we had rushed through them to bring them to you.

In the light of the days in which we are living, we are exploring again the depths of God’s Covenant Promise to His Anointed Son as it relates to the spreading of His Kingdom in all the earth. We have a booklet and a 4 CD set available.

We are also looking again at The Parousia …Christ’s Triumphant Return to Earth, a collection of articles written over the last 30 years. Some of you have read this book over the past few years but we have recently added more articles to it and had it professionally edited. To read it again in the light of the days we are living adds a great deal of excitement and expectation. It contains important information that we all need for this hour, so make sure to order this 100 page book. It’s a must-read for this day. And, if you have not read Hagar: Outraged Mother of the Arab World, make sure to get one of them as well. It is also newly edited. There is not a more informative book on the roots of the current struggle going on in the world today.

(These seem like awfully big expectations now that I write it all down, but then again, isn’t that what we’ve always done. In spite of our own goals, expectations and struggles, we pray that what does come forth, comes as it should be in just the right timing. )

Most of you know we have been crying out to the Lord to send help in the form of physical laborers. In answer to these prayers, the Lord is sending us just the right people, at just the right time to help get our material to you in a more professional and organized manner. Praise God! Please pray with us that these people will be protected and guided as they join us. We will tell you more about them as they arrive. In the mean time we appreciate your patience. There are just a few of us here right now and we are doing all we can to follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit in bringing you what He desires to say in these days now upon us. As the days become more difficult, it becomes more obvious that He is ever working at our sides and in our hearts. Changing, learning, growing…

Then we have that little aggravating pest that thinks he is going to stop us, when all he’s really doing is pushing us further into Him. At times, it seems as though he is causing delays, but we are just having to learn that we are in God’s hands and we are surrounded by His protection and that everything is working on His timing. As the groanings of creation await His coming, His provision and protection become more and more obvious. It’s exciting to watch. It’s even more exciting to be a part of it!

Your love and encouragement warm us, your support helps us, but your prayers sustain us. We need all of it. We are seeing answers to prayer, sometimes on a daily basis. Thank you and know that we love you and appreciate you. The enclosed prayer is our prayer for you as it becomes more and more necessary to lean into Him. With all our love ….

Susanna Corley & our Berean Family
