In Christ Ministries began
in the heart of Bert Midyette in 1982 prior to a mission trip to Canada. He traveled 200 miles above the Arctic Circle to
Cambridge Bay, Canada, to teach in an Eskimo Bible School. He mailed his first HEAVENLY REALITIES Teaching
letter from there in December 1982. Upon returning to the United States, he traveled throughout the Eastern U.S. with a vision
of Sharing God's Word through Teaching and Music. In 1983, he wrote and published his first book entitled, PRAISE
AND WORSHIP INTO THE THRONE ROOM and continued sharing the message of who the Believer is "In Christ"
and also conducting Praise and Worship Seminars. Since then, Bert has produced teaching tapes, praise
and worship tapes, teaching booklets and an album of mostly original songs called "His Word Has Wings".

Bert and his wife Joanne still publish the quarterly HEAVENLY REALITIES Teaching Letter and
a monthly Partner's Letter, which is available to those who wish to be ministry partners. Bert and Joanne
have primarily ministered to preschool children for several years, and now God has opened a door of minstry to share
in a monthly Bible Study for adults. They are available for speaking engagements and seminars.

| "Winter Scene" by Bert Midyette |
Heavenly Realities Teaching Letter Winter 2012 - Vol.
30, Issue 1 "Your constant concern must be
with the Heavenly Realities, not the worldly trivialities." Col. 3:2
"Tell My People..." (Part 4)
4. "How Much Victory
I've Given Them" In Part 1 we discussed
how much God loves us. In Part 2 we discovered how much God cares for us. Part 3 addressed how much God desires us to
know Him. This time let's explore how much victory He's given to us. 2
Corinthians 2:14 reads, "Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh
manifest the savour of His knowledge by us in every place." I like the New American Standard translation of that verse
which states, "But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ...". Yes, God always
leads us in victory, but do we always follow Him? I really like the way the Amplified reads, "Who in Christ always leads
is in triumph [as trophies of Christ's victory]...". Victory is not just for Heaven, but it is available now. It's not
just for the "sweet by and by", but for the "nasty now and now"! Victory
is a right for the Believer in Christ! Legally it is ours according to God's Word, but we must make it vital in our lives. It's
up to us to bring it into reality by applying our faith in the area we need that success and victory. 1 John
5:4 reads, "For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even
our faith." We can overcome the challenges in the world system by faith. Your faith can bring victory
into your world. I have a definition of faith over my desk that reads, "Faith is believing when there's no rational reason
to believe." Faith makes no sense to the unrenewed mind, but faith is the link that makes the legal vital. It makes the
Word of God come alive in your life in order for you to obtain victory. Jesus
demonstrated this truth when he spoke to the storm and said, "Peace, be still." He spoke to the wordly circumstance
that threatened the people in the boat with him. He used faith to make the legal vital. His actions made no sense to
the natural mind, but produced the desired result anyway. Victory was produced by faith! Victory overcame the world - by faith. Bert
