Amidst a flurry of rumors and erroneous stories, the family of Pastor Timothy Wright released a statement, exclusively to Gospel Today, about his condition earlier today to bring clarity and accuracy to what is currently going on with Pastor Wright.
“Rev. Wright did not have a heart attack. But on January 21st his heart stopped suddenly. He was on life support for 2 to 3 weeks. But as of right now he’s off life support. He is breathing on his own. He’s not 100 percent responsive but he does open his eyes when we talk to him. He’s not brain dead but the lack of oxygen to his brain while his heart was stopped has caused his response to be very slow. So we’re praying that his response picks up and he returns back to normal. The doctors didn’t give us a time table but God will do it on his own time. Keep Rev in your prayers. God bless”
The family continues to thank all of those persons who have been holding Pastor Wright up in prayer and ask that they would continue to do so.

God says "Live"
It is such a blessing to read a word and hear God speaking so intensely. It's funny how are you read something, and what you read is challenged by the wiles of the enemy. It's like the devil messes with you and challenges you to stand by the Word. That's how you know that God is real, because the devil is always trying to confuse after a revelation. Today's encouragement comes from the Ezekiel 16:6.
Ezekiel 16:6 And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in thine own blood, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live; yea, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live.
Once again, I remind you that God said Live. Jesus declared that I came that you might have life, and life more abundantly. In order to have life, one must be in a state of death, darkness or lifelessness. And before the salvation of the Lord fell upon our souls, we were dead and living in bondage onto the prince of the power of the air. But God spoke a word and said "Live".
In this particular text, Ezekiel was being used by God to describe how God blessed Jerusalem. God is speaking and relating Jerusalem to the birth of a child. Just like Jerusalem, when we were found by the Lord, we had no one to deliver us. It was customary for midwives to assist in the birth process and do all the duties that doctors do during birth procedures nowadays. But God is saying there was no one there to deliver Jerusalem. We also had no one to deliver from the sin and iniquity we were born and shaped in. Not only that, there was no who could cut the connection or naval cord. There was no one in our lives to cut the connection of sin we were attached to. God goes further and says no one was there to complete the process of birth. No one was there to wash Jerusalem off, and apply salt onto the newborn body. No one had compassion on Jerusalem upon its birth, and it was left in the field needing help. How similar were we, we had nothing to wash off the iniquity, shame and sin that was all over us. Not only that, but we were left helpless, and longing for someone to care for us. But God walked through the field and found Jerusalem wrapped up in its own blood. And God spoke to Jerusalem while they were in their blood and said "Live". And while we were yet sinners, Christ died. God has spoken in your life and told you to "Live". It is my prayer that we walk in the commandment that has been giving by God. We need to live righteously for a righteous God. Be encouraged that God found us in a detestable arena of sin, and he told us to "Live". So I beseech you friends such as Paul did, "Stand therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage"

Trust
Psalms 11:In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
Trust is something that is essential in our relationship with God. We truly need to rely completely and solely on the Lord. The world chooses to rely on everything else but the Lord. Some trust in chariots, and some in horses Many are putting their hope and trust in material possessions, their money as well as flesh and blood. None of those entities are bad, but they are not be to relied upon. God is who we are supposed to trust. In these tough economic times, it is very apparent who America has put their trust in. Trust has been put in banks and large corporations, men who have evil in their heart. But none of these things can supply, sustain and bless you like Jesus can. But we have to trust him, and take him at his word. We have to believe that he is God and beside him there is no other. He understands all of our needs, desires and knows our prayers. But we need to trust in Jesus. Trust is an attribute of faith, and the world declares that without Faith, it is impossible to please God We need to believe and Trust in the only true and living God.
