Inside This Issue: + Cozy, Reflective Time

+ She’s Driving!

+ Justified Jesus

+ Changing Directions

Cassidy, our youngest, is

learning to drive. And

when I asked Mark to

give her a few pointers,

he jumped in there liter-

ally (see his pointing finger in the

photo).

We’re very proud of

Cassidy and we pray the

Lord would give her

This is a bitter-sweet

time for us. One where

we will surely covet your

prayers!

wisdom as she learns the

tremendous responsibility

of maneuvering a two ton

vehicle along the crowded

highways. And that He

would surround her with

His protective angels as

He leads her down this

new journey into adult

responsibilities.

It’s That Cozy, Reflective Time of Winter

She’s Driving and He’s Pointing!

Winter. It’s typically cold

and snowy, and when that

happens we just can’t get

outside as much. But

winter does offer us a

great opportunity to relax,

get cozy and reflect.

God has been so good to

us. As we take a look

back, 2011 was a bit of a

whirlwind but it carried

us across this portion of

the country allowing us to

meet some amazing new

friends and watch God

work in miraculous ways.

Personally, our lives were

greatly touched in 2011.

God molded and shaped

us as He led us from

North Carolina to Penn-

sylvania to Tennessee and

all throughout Ohio.

This past year, True

Blessings Ministries

hosted four different

conferences. Through

them we witnessed the

Lord unite, deliver, heal,

save, and fill so

many individuals.

And with the Christmas

ornaments and year-end

decorations, as we box

away 2011, we want you

to know that we are so

very blessed by each one

of you. It’s assuring to

depend on the fact that

you’re a vital part of what

God wishes to do in and

through this ministry for

2012.

We appreciate your

prayers and support.

We don’t know what

2012 will bring, but we

anticipate great, BIG

things from our great,

BIG God!

We hope you’ll enjoy

browsing through

the pages of this

newsletter and reflecting

with us the goodness of

God over the past year—

and the anticipation of

what He has waiting for

us in 2012.

Happy New Year! Mark and I pray that this year brings you much peace in the Lord and many True Blessings! Many of you have been in a wilderness season and a season of unanswered questions and even what seemed to be a lack of direction. I can hear the Lord saying, according to Matthew 25:23, "Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let's celebrate together!”

I know it’s been a difficult season and one where we have all sought more direction and clearer discernment of the times. Many of us managed to get through this season by simply doing the little bit that we knew He instructed us to do. I had been praying and seeking the Lord regarding these matters when I was given a dream. In the dream, I was standing on a city street and I saw a banner being lifted over the street. There was such an excitement in the air and it was a celebration that was coming and the banner was going to announce it to all! I knew in the dream that the feeling was one of ‘finally, it’s time’ and hearts were filled with joy. When I looked up at the words on the banner, it clearly said, “JUSTIFIED JESUS!”

When I woke up I couldn’t forget the words on the banner. Justified was clearly a word that I would have never thought of on my own or placed on a banner with Jesus. I know He’s justified and justified in my own heart and the

Father has justified Him. It wasn’t JUSTIFY but JUSTIFIED and then it dropped into my spirit. Justified. Done deal. Justified in the hearts of man and justified to where there is no more questions and no more doubt. Proven.

Justified: To demonstrate or prove to be just, right, or valid.

Knowing in my heart and spirit that every little step that we take in God is a test that we pass in order to be able to be trained and seasoned in order to be trusted with more, tells me that more responsibility is coming to us all now. It is time be a full demonstration of the power of Jesus Christ to those who we encounter and use every moment we can to be a witness to others so that we can attend the celebration that is sure to come! Can you imagine a move of God in a city so strong that they are celebrating in the streets knowing He is proven to all?

Let’s celebrate together! Happy New Year from our house to yours!

In His Love, Mark and Sue Knauff

church hosted a Christmas Fellowship dinner. Pastors Kelsey and Terry Crenshaw

and their ministry were able to attend as well as Dennis and Vicki O’Daniel. Like
