Subject: "FINALLY!" December 2025 New Mexico Prayer Connect / Prayer At The Heart Of New Mexico (PATH) / COG, NM/El Paso, TX & Southwest Indian Ministries (SWIM) Newsletter 2 Corinthians 13:11 (NASB 1995) "Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice, mend your ways, be comforted, be like minded, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you." As we finish off 2025 and prepare for 2026, after giving GOD Thanksgiving in November, so that we could cross the threshold of HIS Gates, we gain access into HIS Courts with Praise, for ALL that HE has done & everything HE's brought us through, as promised In Christ JESUS and look forward with great anticipation to what The LORD has in store for us at the end of December, so let us finish well, as we come to the final stretch of this year! Paul exhorts us with his closing comments to the Churches in Corinth, Ephesus, Philippi and Thessalonica, but Peter gets the final say in the matter of these Holy Spirit Words of LIFE, as they were moved upon to write these portions of Holy Script. Notice how positive their last Words to the called-out ones, these congregations of GOD are! The Greek Words used in all of these Scripture verses for "FINALLY" in the English language are very rich and meaningful from both human authors, because they expect maximum obedience to everything written prior to their conclusion, so as to bring forth GOD's ultimate prophetic purposes to the uttermost, for complete growth to occur and HIS Good Fruit of The HOLY GHOST to come forth. Philippians 3:1 (NASB 1995) "Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things again is no trouble to me, and it is a safeguard for you." Like GOD's, "Moses, Moses" or JESUS', "Verily, Verily" & "Truely, Truely," the least of the Apostles, as Paul called himself, the author of the most books in the New Testament tells us, although Luke actually wrote more WORDS, "Rejoice In The LORD/YAHWEH 'ALWAYS' And 'AGAIN' I Say (In The HOLY SPIRIT) REJOICE! I'm certain plenty reading this had ups, downs, ins and outs this year, but GOD Is Working 'ALL' Things Together For Our Good, For Those Who LOVE HIM & Are Called, According To HIS Purposes (Please take the time to reread and meditate upon the explanation for 'FINALLY' above, before continuing below). Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is [a] lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, [b] dwell on these things (NASB 1995). Footnotes Philippians 4:8 Or lovable and gracious Philippians 4:8 Lit ponder these things. JESUS Is The TRUTH, everything HE said and did was Honorable & Right, HE's Pure, Lovely, Lovable, Gracious & Good, absolutely Excellent in Every 'WAY' and HE Alone Is Worthy Of ALL Praise, so we should Dwell, Ponder and "Abide In HIM," according to John 15, in order to bear, produce for HIM, Good & Lasting Fruit for HIS Kingdom Of Righteousness, Peace/Shalom & Joy In The HOLY GHOST! HE Is Due ALL Honor & Glory, so turn & fix your eyes upon JESUS, look upon HIM, because HE Is The Author & Finisher of our Faith and without Faith it's Impossible to Please GOD. Hunger and thirst for HIS Righteousness, The Living Bread Of LIFE & the wine of HIS Blood, so rivers of Living Water will flow out of you. Read The WORD daily, out loud if possible, because Faith comes by hearing and hearing by The WORD Of GOD! HE, Who has begun a good work in you will complete it. You'll be transformed by the renewing of your heart and mind. 2 Thessalonians 3:1 Finally, brethren, pray for us that the word of the Lord will [a] spread rapidly and be glorified, just as it did also with you (NASB 1995); Footnotes 2 Thessalonians 3:1 Lit run. PRAY continually for those in leadership, your family, friends, coworkers, schoolmates, neighbors and even your enemies, because GOD wishes that none would perish and that ALL would come to Repentance, to turn and think differently, change their minds about what they think or heard about The LORD, but that they would actually be born-again and intimately come to know HIM personally! 1 Peter 3:8 [a] To sum up, all of you be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, and humble in spirit (NASB 1995); Footnotes 1 Peter 3:8 Or Finally. To wrap things up during this month of Hanukkah (Read John 10:22-23) & Christmas, I hope that the body of Christ/Messiah/The Anointed ONE, Jew & Gentile, will come together as ONE, according to JESUS' John 17 PRAYER and the book of Ephesians, because this is GOD's Heart's desire! 'Let Us' allow HIM to have HIS WAY with us, individually and corporately, in harmony, every member doing their part, for HIS Kingdom to come and HIS Will to be done on Earth, as It Is In HEAVEN. May HIS SPIRIT and the fruit thereof, as mentioned in Galatians 5, bring Peace/Shalom & Goodwill to ALL humankind. Resist the devil, submit yourself to GOD, humble yourself In HIS Sight and HE Will lift you up, seated in Heavenly Places With HIM. Be filled with The SPIRIT and serve/worship HIM wholeheartedly, trusting that HE has greater things instore for you in 2026!

While most will reflect on the start of the American Revolution in Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775, the actual phrase originated in the 1837 poem "Concord Hymn," by Ralph Waldo Emerson, commemorating the events of that day, but on Wednesday, September 10, 2025, 250 years afterwards, another shot rang out that will certainly change the landscape of these United States and the battle has been raging around the world ever since! Please bear, tolerate and endure with me, as I seek to enlighten you on the spiritual implications of what I believe is presently playing out in the natural realm, on earth, as it is in the heavenlies. Without stepping off into the weeds and certainly not going into numerology, I hope to give you insights into some biblical meanings in the above-mentioned numbers and those to come. From 1775 to 1837 is 62 years, so if we add 6+2=8 & from 1837 to 2025 is 188 years, so if we add 1+8+8=17, then 1+7=8, so the number 8 in the bible symbolizes 'new beginnings, resurrection, and spiritual regeneration.' It follows the number 7, which represents perfection and completion, signifying what comes after it and seven is exactly what you get when you take the 250 years (2+5=7) from 1775-2025 and that's 5 jubilees! The Hebrew word for "eight" sh'moneh, comes from a root that means "to fatten," connecting it to the idea of abundance. The number 8 often denotes something beyond the normal, such as supernatural events or acts of God's power and in a spiritual sense, the number 8 can also represent finding a balance between the spiritual and material worlds. A sideways 8, known as the infinity symbol, signifies limitlessness, eternity, and infinite possibilities in mathematics and other fields. It symbolizes an endless loop with no beginning or end, representing concepts such as endless love, hope, loyalty, continuity, prosperity, and spiritual wholeness across various cultures and disciplines. The symbol may have been inspired by the Roman numeral 1,000 or the Greek letter omega.
Subject: "LET US..." August 2025 NM Prayer Connect/Prayer At The Heart Of New Mexico/ COG, NM, El Paso, TX & Southwest Indian Ministries (SWIM) Newsletter! Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the [a] sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth (NASB 1995).” Footnotes Genesis 1:26 Lit heavens From 'The Beginning,' GOD says! In John 1:1, The Holy Spirit moves upon John the Apostle to write, "In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God," so if this is about Jesus (and we know it is), and in Revelation 1:8; 21:6 & 22:13; He states that He Is The Beginning, so whenever anyone says Jesus isn't God, they need to read Genesis 1:1; "In The Beginning God created the heaven and the earth," and Colossians 1:17 tells us that "By Him (Yeshua/Jesus) all things consist!" + Hebrews 1:10-12 says, "Thou, LORD (Yahweh), In 'The Beginning' hast laid the foundation of the earth," ALL confirming Jesus' (Eternal) statement, "Before Abraham was, I AM!" In (The Original) Las Vegas, NM, a billboard declares that Jesus never said He was God and a friend of mine just returned from TX, telling me he saw several of these same advertisements, so apparently someone is spending some money, probably nationwide, to discredit The Truth of Holy Script. Without further ado, our opening bible verse is the first mention of God speaking, "Let Us," but not without dispute. The Word "us" in this phrase refers to H430 'Elohim,' which is the plural of H433 in the Strong's Concordance, especially referencing The Supreme GOD, clearly pointing to The Trinity, Father, Son & Holy Spirit of the Christian Faith, like the Hebrew Word, Echad, meaning ONE, not in the singular sense, but how Paul the Apostle explained The Body Of Christ/Messiah/The Anointed ONE, as being 'many members, but ONE Head,' JESUS! Long story short, the phrase, "Let Us," occurs 191 times, from Genesis 1:26-Revelation 19:7 (NASB 1995) "Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come and His bride has made herself ready." If you prayerfully and biblically consider "The Great Commission," we are called out of the world/the darkness and into HIS marvelous LIGHT, but to what end? To go back into the world (not of it), to snatch people out of the fire, not by our own might or power, but in cooperation with GOD, "Not by might, not by power, but by My (HOLY) Spirit," says The LORD. HE promises never to leave or forsake us, to go before us, be our rear guard, coming alongside to help, to move upon, in and through us, to accomplish the works He has called us to do "In Christ Jesus." Christ in us is the Hope of Glory, manifesting His Presence, because we're in Him, just as He is in The Father and The Father in Him, ONE, according to His John 17 prayer. Andrew Murray's book, a commentary on Hebrews, 'The Holiest of All,' I believe is the closest thing to reading scripture itself, because he was such a man of prayer and an author of over 240 books, but Hebrews is like the Reader's Digest condensed version of Genesis- Malachi. In a nutshell, Hebrews 4:1-2 says, "Let Us Fear," to be sure of your Faith, with reverence toward GOD. Hebrews 4:11 states, "Let Us Labor In Our Faith." Why? Because we have works to do that JESUS prepared specifically for us, even before the foundations of this world were laid. HIS ½ Brother, James tells us that Faith without works is dead and Paul in Philippians 2:12 encourages the Church to "Work Out Your Salvation With Fear And Trembling," meaning 'to actively live out your Christian Faith with a deep sense of reverence and humility, recognizing GOD's work in you and striving to align your actions with HIS Will.' Notice he's telling us to "work out" not "work for!" In Hebrews 4:14, 23 Paul writes, while under the influence of The HOLY SPIRIT, "Let Us Hold Fast" & in verse 16, "Let Us Come Boldly Before The Throne Of Grace. Let Us Go On In Our Spiritual Growth" in Hebrews 6:1 is telling us to get off of the babies milk and start eating solid foods, so that we will be mature believers and not mere babes. Hebrews 10:22, 24; "Let Us Draw Near To GOD, & Let Us Consider ONE Another." We get a double whammy in Hebrews 12:1; "Let Us Lay Aside Every Sin, and Let Us Run The Race," to which Paul in 1 Corinthians 9:24 exhorts us to "Run In Such A WAY As The Get The Prize," encouraging Believers/Disciples to live their lives with purpose and dedication, striving for the ultimate prize of eternal LIFE in the Christian Faith! The "Let Us Have Grace" statement of Hebrews 12:28 can be twofold, as well, receiving The HOLY SPIRIT Of Grace and extending GOD's Grace to others, sometimes referencing HIS unmerited favor. In Hebrews chapter 13:13 we read, "Let Us Go To JESUS," which is a no brainer, because HIS NAME is the ONLY NAME under Heaven, by which we MUST Be SAVED, HE Is The ONLY WAY to The FATHER and finally in Hebrews 13:15, another double portion comes to our table, "Let Us PRAISE GOD!" Psalm 150 finishes of the Hebrew Psalter with verse 6; "Let EVERYTHING That Has Breath PRAISE The LORD. PRAISE The LORD!" It is a call for ALL Living Beings to offer PRAISE to GOD. Here's another, "Moses, Moses; Verily, Verily; Truly, Truly" statement, where GOD is trying to get our attention, emphasizing, magnifying what HE is trying to get across, because HE Alone Is WORTHY of ALL Glory, Honor & PRAISE! I'll let you go with two things. Bruce Cockburn, one of my favorite Christian Recording Artists from Canada has a song called, "Let Us Go Laughing," with this Chorus: And let us go laughing-o Let us go Let us go laughing-o Let us go Did you know that GOD Laughs? Finally or I should say, 'Last, but not least,' just 4 verses before 'The End' (Remember JESUS is The Beginning & The END) of The Book/BIBLE, I call you ALL to this final thought from Revelation 22:17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take the water of life without cost (NASB 1995). Read full chapter Revelation 22:17 in all English translations The HOLY SPIRIT and The Bride, representing The Church are both issuing this call together, in cooperation to fulfill 'The Great Co-Mission,' emphasizing the urgency and invitation to Salvation/Yeshua/JESUS. It's a direct call to those who are thirsty and desire the water of LIFE, so "Let Us!"

Subject: 7, 10 or 30 Mountains? September 2024 NM Prayer Connect, PATH - NM/COG, NM & El Paso, TX 7, 10 or 30 Mountains? September 2024 NM Prayer Connect, PATH - NM/COG, NM & El Paso, TX Blessings Prayer Warriors, As a former New Mexico National Day Of Prayer State Coordinator, there's nothing new under the sun, when it comes to the 7 Mountains of Prayer; Government, Media, Education, Church, Family, Military & Economy, but from a biblical perspective, there are 10 important mountains and as your present day Prayer Coordinator for NM Prayer Connect, Prayer At The Heart Of New Mexico & Church Of God, NM & El Paso, TX, we have 30 major summits in our state, that are high points to scale and pray over our geographic areas. Wheeler Peak is 13,123 feet, the highest summit of the state in the Taos Mountains, Mount Taylor is 11,305 ft in the San Mateo Mountains and Sandia Crest is 10,682 ft in the Sandia Mountains, where we have held several prayer gatherings over the years, but that excludes 27 other peaks, yet to climb, ranging in elevations exceeding 9,843-11,483 ft, but that's not counting prayer times at Carlsbad Caverns, which at its deepest levels is 1,027 feet belowground! Genesis 8:4 in the Amplified Bible (AMP) states: "On the seventeenth day of the seventh month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat"1. This verse is part of the narrative about the flood and Noah’s ark, describing the moment when the ark finally came to rest after the floodwaters began to recede. 13 “Then You came down on Mount Sinai, And spoke with them from heaven; And You gave them fair ordinances and true laws, Good statutes and commandments. 14 “So You made known to them Your holy Sabbath, And gave them commandments, statutes, and law, Through Your servant Moses. Nehemiah 9 | AMP Bible | YouVersion 1 Kings 8:1 from the Amplified Bible (AMP): "Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the leaders of the fathers’ households of the sons of Israel, to King Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord from the City of David, which is Zion."1 Deuteronomy 11:29 in the Amplified Bible (AMP) reads: "It shall come about, when the Lord your God brings you into the land which you are entering to possess, that you shall place the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ebal"1. This verse is part of a larger passage where Moses instructs the Israelites on the blessings and curses associated with obedience and disobedience to God’s commandments. Luke 22:39-46. Amplified Bible. The Garden of Gethsemane. 39 And He came out and went, as was His habit, to the Mount of Olives; and the disciples followed Him. Deuteronomy 32:49 in the Amplified Bible (AMP) reads: “Go up to this mountain of the Abarim, Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab opposite Jericho, and look at the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the sons of Israel as a possession”1. This verse is part of the instructions given to Moses before his death, where he is told to view the Promised Land from Mount Nebo. Genesis 22:2 in the Amplified Bible (AMP) reads: "God said, ‘Take now your son, your only son [of promise], whom you love, Isaac, and go to the region of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.’"12 This verse is part of the story where God tests Abraham’s faith by asking him to sacrifice his son Isaac. It’s a powerful and challenging passage that speaks to themes of faith, obedience, and trust in God’s plan. Matthew 17:1-9 from the Amplified Bible (AMP): The Transfiguration Six days later Jesus took with Him Peter and James and John the brother of James, and led them up on a high mountain by themselves. And His appearance changed dramatically in their presence; and His face shone [with heavenly glory, clear and bright] like the sun, and His clothing became as white as light. And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Jesus. Then Peter began to speak and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good and delightful and auspicious that we are here; if You wish, I will put up three [sacred] tents here–one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased and delighted! Listen to Him!” When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and were terrified. But Jesus came and touched them and said, “Get up, and do not be afraid.” And when they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus Himself alone. And as they were going down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, “Do not tell anyone what you have seen until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.” 2 Kings 2:25 from the Amplified Bible (AMP): “Then he went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.” This verse is part of the narrative about the prophet Elisha, who succeeded Elijah. Matthew 5:1 AMP. When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain; and when He was seated, His disciples came to Him. All above passages of Holy Script cover the 10 important mountains in the bible, according to their order mentioned: Mount Ararat, Sinai, Gerizim, Olives, Nebo, Moriah, Zion, Tabor, Carmel & Beatitudes, each significant in their own way, but what stories will be told of the happenings in our 33 counties and 23 tribal nations, as we connect and pray for God's Kingdom to come and His Will to be done (Luke 11:2-4 & Matthew 6:9-13), upon, in and through these earthen vessels that now contain His Holy Spirit and those yet to come? Ephesians tells us that when every member does their part we will all come into the fullness of God! If you want the fullness of God in, upon and working through your life, your family, friends, coworkers and neighbors, join us in reaching the heights of the remaining 27 mountaintops in our state. Paul Wilbur is coming for an "I Stand With Israel" conference on Saturday, September 21, 5pm, @ Casa Del Rey, 2500 Corona Drive NW, ABQ, NM 87120: I Will Stand With Israel Conference - Campaign (snwbll.com) the 22nd is 'Fasting To DC' and "Global Day Of Prayer" + Saturday, September 28, 10am-2pm, Prayer At The Heart of Las Vegas, NM will take place at the gazebo in The Plaza, so invite others & spread the word, as we pray for a true spiritual awakening and revival to come to our state, nation and the world!

HIS ½ Brother, James tells us that Faith without works is dead and Paul in Philippians 2:12 encourages the Church to "Work Out Your Salvation With Fear And Trembling," meaning 'to actively live out your Christian Faith with a deep sense of reverence and humility, recognizing GOD's work in you and striving to align your actions with HIS Will.' Notice he's telling us to "work out" not "work for!" In Hebrews 4:14, 23 Paul writes, while under the influence of The HOLY SPIRIT, "Let Us Hold Fast" & in verse 16, "Let Us Come Boldly Before The Throne Of Grace. Let Us Go On In Our Spiritual Growth" in Hebrews 6:1 is telling us to get off of the babies milk and start eating solid foods, so that we will be mature believers and not mere babes. Hebrews 10:22, 24; "Let Us Draw Near To GOD, & Let Us Consider ONE Another." We get a double whammy in Hebrews 12:1; "Let Us Lay Aside Every Sin, and Let Us Run The Race," to which Paul in 1 Corinthians 9:24 exhorts us to "Run In Such A WAY As The Get The Prize," encouraging Believers/Disciples to live their lives with purpose and dedication, striving for the ultimate prize of eternal LIFE in the Christian Faith! The "Let Us Have Grace" statement of Hebrews 12:28 can be twofold, as well, receiving The HOLY SPIRIT Of Grace and extending GOD's Grace to others, sometimes referencing HIS unmerited favor. In Hebrews chapter 13:13 we read, "Let Us Go To JESUS," which is a no brainer, because HIS NAME is the ONLY NAME under Heaven, by which we MUST Be SAVED, HE Is The ONLY WAY to The FATHER and finally in Hebrews 13:15, another double portion comes to our table, "Let Us PRAISE GOD!" Psalm 150 finishes of the Hebrew Psalter with verse 6; "Let EVERYTHING That Has Breath PRAISE The LORD. PRAISE The LORD!" It is a call for ALL Living Beings to offer PRAISE to GOD. Here's another, "Moses, Moses; Verily, Verily; Truly, Truly" statement, where GOD is trying to get our attention, emphasizing, magnifying what HE is trying to get across, because HE Alone Is WORTHY of ALL Glory, Honor & PRAISE! I'll let you go with two things. Bruce Cockburn, one of my favorite Christian Recording Artists from Canada has a song called, "Let Us Go Laughing," with this Chorus: And let us go laughing-o Let us go Let us go laughing-o Let us go Did you know that GOD Laughs? Finally or I should say, 'Last, but not least,' just 4 verses before 'The End' (Remember JESUS is The Beginning & The END) of The Book/BIBLE, I call you ALL to this final thought from Revelation 22:17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take the water of life without cost (NASB 1995). Read full chapter Revelation 22:17 in all English translations The HOLY SPIRIT and The Bride, representing The Church are both issuing this call together, in cooperation to fulfill 'The Great Co-Mission,' emphasizing the urgency and invitation to Salvation/Yeshua/JESUS. It's a direct call to those who are thirsty and desire the water of LIFE, so "Let Us!"
