READ YOUR BIBLE!

 🛑COMPLETED READING THRU THE BIBLE AGAIN! God be praised! Though I’ve read it thru many times; this time was different. (I began after my wife passed & took my time, to complete the reading in under 1 year). This was for strength. This is how I stand! The Word works! Praise, worship, prayer, fasting etc., are all important disciplines. But, there are some valleys that are so treacherous; that they are only survivable by hearing from God (through Bible reading). What’s my next step? Go back to Genesis & start all over again! (Reminds me of the late Bishop G. T. Haywood, that required ministers in his church, to read the Bible through annually). #IveGotWorkToDo

Ps 119:105 ERV. “Your word is like a lamp that guides my steps, a light that shows the path I should take.”

Jer 15:16 TLB. “Your words are what sustain me; they are food to my hungry soul. They bring joy to my sorrowing heart and delight me. How proud I am to bear your name, O Lord.”

Happy Memorial Day!

Save the Date!

 

"Tell God, I Want It All!"

TELL GOD, “I WANT IT ALL!” Note in each passage below, it is referring to the same group (plus or minus a few people) and the same Holy Ghost. As you look at the definition of each word that Jesus uses; ask God to give it all to you! #IveGotWorkToDo #HolySpirit #HolyGhost #Pentecost #PilgrimageToPentecost

Clean!

 

SANCTIFICATION (defined as, “Set apart, distinct from a secular use to a divine use.”) makes you ready to receive the power of God in your life! We are not pitiful, powerless & barely making it. God always causes us to triumph (no matter what “life” throws our way), because we are His “set apart” people. We are picked up, cleaned up & ready to serve! #IveGotWorkToDo #Pentecost #PilgrimageToPentecost #Pentecost2022 #Holy #Sanctification #Sanctified
