As we reflect upon the year 2025 at Love of Jesus Deliverance New Hope, our hearts are filled with gratitude and awe for the faithfulness of Yahuah. Truly, we can declare as the prophet Samuel did, “Thus far Yahuah has helped us” (1 Samuel 7:12). Every victory, every open door, every soul touched, and every life strengthened stands as a testimony that it was not by might nor by power, but by His Spirit.

We give thanks to Yahuah for His abiding presence throughout 2025 and extend heartfelt appreciation to every servant, leader, volunteer, intercessor, supporter, and partner who labored faithfully to ensure that ministry events, outreach efforts, worship gatherings, and community initiatives were carried out with excellence and love. Your obedience, sacrifice, and steadfast commitment did not go unnoticed by Heaven.

We pause with reverence to honor and remember those who have gone on to glory—the late Mother Hazel McCloud and Sister Lois Davis. Their lives were living epistles, written with faith, service, and devotion to Yahuah. Though we grieve their absence, we rejoice in the blessed assurance that this separation is temporary. We hold fast to the promise that we shall meet again in glory, where death has no sting and sorrow has no place.

As we step forward, let us take hold of the seriousness of our call as disciples of Yashuah. This is not a casual walk, but a consecrated one. We are called to be watchful, faithful, and fully surrendered vessels. Yet, we are encouraged, knowing that we will accomplish more through the power of the Set-apart Spirit than we ever could in our own strength.

Let us begin this month strong by actively participating in the Solemn Assembly, January 5–9, 2025. This is a sacred time of fasting, prayer, repentance, and alignment. During our New Year’s Eve Service, we wrote down the petitions and requests we are presenting before the Father. As we fast, be intentional about setting aside dedicated time to communicate with Yahuah—listening as much as speaking, yielding as much as asking. Take seriously the spiritual disciplines we engage in to draw closer to Him, for intimacy with Yahuah produces clarity, power, and peace.

We move forward with confidence, knowing that Yahuah declares, “For I know the plans I have for you… plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” (Jeremiah 29:11). We are committed to advancing the Kingdom of Yah here on earth by abiding in the Father’s principles, laws, and precepts—living as ambassadors of righteousness in every sphere of influence.

At the same time, let us remain spiritually alert. The days ahead require discernment. The enemy’s tactics are subtle, strategic, and persistent, for “we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” (Ephesians 6:12). Therefore, be steadfast in your prayer life, clothed in the full armor of Elohim, anchored in truth, and unwavering in faith.

Let us abound in the Word and the work while it is day, redeeming the time and serving with joy and urgency. May Yahuah shield you, protect you, keep you, and grant you Shalom—peace that surpasses all understanding—as we press forward together in unity, purpose, and power.

Apostle Dr. Dawn Nichol-Manning
