“For with God nothing will be impossible.” Luke 1:37
We sing a song at New Life known as “The Days of Elijah.” What made the days of Elijah something so special that prophecy said Elijah would come before Messiah? When we think of the days of Elijah, we think of miracles and great powerful acts of God. Elijah was only one of dozens of prophets in Israel. Of all the prophets, Elijah is the prime example of being used by God.
Obviously, Elijah had faith and trusted God at His Word. He believed that nothing was impossible with God.
Let us look at one day of the days of Elijah. In I Kings 18:19 we see a man with a busy day. It started with a challenge, “if God is God, then serve Him.”
First, Elijah called down fire from heaven to consume a water-soaked sacrifice, an act the prophets of Baal could not duplicate. Secondly, he slew 450 of the Baal prophets to remove their influence from the people. Thirdly, he was anointed to outrun the chariot of Ahab being pulled by the best horses of Israel. It was quite a day. Most people do not see a lifetime with that much of the anointing of God, much less it happening in only one day!!
We call this a “top of the mountain” experience–a true testimony that nothing is impossible with God. Oh, did I fail to mention the rain that broke a three year drought? I believe I did. After a day like that, there would not be room for doubt, right? Wrong!! Elijah’s next act was to run in fear of Jezebel and hide himself in a cave. Elijah was human, just like we are , and humanity can be moved by fear if we draw back.
Elijah knew God; he knew the power of God, but in a moment of weakness, caused by fear, he lost sight of the miracles that he experienced all day long. In the midst of God’s miraculous, we can forget that “all things are possible with God.” Doubt is not a result of what is going on around you, but what is going on in you. God doesn’t change so any change comes from us.
Even with all that God has done, I still get discouraged when I fail to remember what God has done. I look at what is still left to do and the enemy says, “You can’t trust God to keep His word.” BUT…”I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed unto Him against that day.” II Timothy 1:12 (NKJV) I declare that “with God nothing shall be impossible..”
“The Peter opened his mouth and said: ‘In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality.’” Acts 10:34 (NKJV)
Have you ever been tempted to believe that God has favorites that He blessed better than others? According to the above verse, God is no respecter of persons. If God shows no partiality, why do some people seem to be more blessed than others? When Peter said the above, he was referring to the event when the Holy Spirit fell on the Gentiles. God’s favor is never withheld from those who seek it. The promise is to all who believe whoever they may be.
The Bible tells us in II Peter 1:3 that God has given us (every believer) all that pertains to life and godliness. Even our constitution says we believe that all men are created equal and given rights by God, the Creator.
There is a parable in the Word about a master that had three servants. To one he gave five talents. To another he gave two talents and the other he gave one talent. The parable is not about what the master gave the servants. The parable is about what the servant did with the talent. When they were put to work, they produced a blessing for the servant. When they were not put to use, the servant did not prosper. It was in the power of the servants to use them. When used, they prospered. When you use the talents given to you , they will prosper and increase. Everything that God has to give He gives to ALL His children. How we use what we are given will determine the extent of our blessing.
We must also remember that blessing is an attitude of the heart not a condition of the circumstances. You first must believe you are blessed wherever you may be. Remember, Joseph was blessed even as a slave and while in prison. Blessing is not dependent on your condition. It is dependent on your relationship with God. “For the Lord God is a sun and shield. The Lord will give GRACE and glory; NO GOOD THING will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.” Psalm 84:11 (NKJV)
“…and he was there in the prison.” Genesis 39:20
You may not readily recognize who this scripture is referring to. But, before he was in prison, he was a slave. Before that he was in a pit, put there by his own family. Of course you now recognize this is the story of Joseph.
He made a trip from his father’s favorite son to a common prisoner in Egypt’s prison. What did he do to deserve such a fate? Joseph was a man of extraordinary character as reflected in his encounter with Potiphar’s wife. He chose God over her in spite of his circumstances.
Joseph never knew what his future held, but he did know he could trust his God. Now that the story is complete we know that Joseph became second only to Pharoah in power in the land of Egypt.
Do not forget his “pit stops” along the way. They tested his character to the extreme. He was being prepared for the “palace” even in the pit and prison. He made it to the palace because he remained faithful in the pit and in the prison.
Joseph was mistreated and hated by his own brothers. He was lied about by a woman that got him put in prison. He was forgotten by a “friend” that was supposed to have helped him. Things went from bad to worse but Joseph never stopped serving God.
Are you in a pit? In prison? About to give up? Reconsider your position. You are a child of God. You are destined for the palace. Don’t give up before you get there. Remember, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Phil. 4:13
Hold on to the promises of God and expect to see the salvation of the Lord. The temporary “pit stops” are used to test our character. It is not God who needs to be convinced of your determination and ability to success. He already knows you are well able to win. The enemy is the one who must be convinced of your faithfulness.
Do not be distracted by where you are; keep looking at where you are supposed to be. Even if you are in the pit, remember, you are seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. See yourself where the Word says you are and do what the Word says you can do.
God prepared Joseph to save his entire family, but there was a cost. Thank God that Jesus paid our cost for victory. We must not forget that we always triumph in Christ Jesus. Don’t be moved by the devil’s shadows and mirrors. The palace is your goal. Stick with it.
ARE YOU WISE OR FOOLISH?
In 1992, Hurricane Andrew blasted southern Florida, literally leveling thousands of homes. Most areas looked like the after effects of an atomic bomb. In the backdrop of devastation, one house remained firmly anchored on its foundation. When a reporter asked the homeowner why his house had not been blown away, he replied, “I built this house myself. I also built it according to Florida state building code. When the code called for 2″ x 6″ roof trusses, I used 2″ x 6″ roof trusses. I was told that a house built according to code could withstand a hurricane – and it did.”
In Matthew 21:24-26 we read about the two type of people-a wise man and a foolish man. The man of wisdom builds his house upon the rock, and the foolish man builds his house upon the sand. None of us will get through this life without our foundation tested by the storms of life. A foundation built upon the sand produces destruction. A foundation built upon the Solid Rock produces duration. The Lord Jesus Christ is the only solid foundation upon which a man can build his life. Everything else is sinking sand.
The difference between a wise and foolish man: the wise man is not only a hearer of the Word but a doer. That person takes the Word and makes it applicable to his life. The foolish man hears the Word and fails to make them applicable to his life. As I write the above words I keep hearing the words to a song, “My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus blood and righteousness, I dare not trust the sweetest frame but wholly trust in Jesus name, on Christ the solid rock I stand all other ground is sinking sand.
Are you building your life according to code–the Word?
Here are 8 principles that help you live a life prepared to receive the empowerment of the Holy Spirit. (Chuck D. Pierce-Protecting Your Home From Spiritual Darkness)
1. Meditate on the Word of God. Joshua 1:9
2. Praying is communicating with God. Col. 4:2
3. Fasting removes spiritual clutter. Matt. 17:19-21
4. Giving is the very heart of God. Luke 6:38
5. Warring–Ephesians 6:10-18
6. Worshiping to enter into intimacy with God. John 4:23
7. Working–There is a time to do something. James 2:26
8. Resting–God rested on the seventh day. Heb. 4:10
“In the beginning God…” Gen. 1:1
We are very familiar with this statement, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” To be a true believer we must believe that all things originated from God. He is the Creator and Sustainer of all things. This means our lives are a product of God’s energy and creative effort.
When considering your own life, remember, the Word says, “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you…” (Jer. 1:5) You have been in contact with God since your “beginning.” This is not just a play on words but a basic truth that fosters faith in our walk with God.
In the beginning of every situation and circumstance, God is there. He desires to be the first source of help we seek after. It is a sad reflection on our faith when God ends up being our last resort.
Several years ago I heard a story about a woman taking a ship to Europe. After several days at seas the ship encountered a tremendous storm. Being concerned, the woman spoke to the Captain. “We have a strong ship. It will be fine,” said the Captain. Nothing changed, and the storm continued. Becoming more concerned, the lady approached the Captain again. “We have an excellent crew; we can weather the storm,” he said.
The storm continued to rage and the lady spoke to the Captain again. This time his response was, “ All we can do is pray.” To which the woman replied, “My God! Has it come to that?”
Seeking God as our first alternative gives Him a chance to work in our behalf. Putting our faith in Him brings peace from the beginning of the trial. Why wait until all else fails before we think to seek God?
God says in His word, “Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you and you shall glorify me.” (Ps. 50:15) Don’t wait until you are worn down by circumstances after days. Ask God for help in the very beginning of every issue of life.
Whatever faces you today, put it in God’s hands. If it is just beginning, give it to God now. If it has been going on for awhile, give it to Him now. He is your Helper. He is your source of strength. You don’t have to handle it yourself until the only thing left is prayer. Make prayer the first thing, after all, “In the beginning, God….”
God’s Will
When Jodie and I came here in Dec 2009, we felt it would only be for a short time, so we didn’t get involved much. We both have always been active in the church, so when we became “Pew Warmers” it seemed like a good resting period for us. However; when Pastor was unable to preach after his heart surgery, Sister Shirley and I covered the preaching duties until Pastor’s return on Easter weekend 2010.
Several times after Pastor’s return in 2010, I was planning on moving on to start a new church, yet something always prevented it… Now after Pastor’s most recent health issues I feel it was divine appointment that we are here for this time. Yet, as with most people, we have often second guessed hearing God’s Voice- the unction of the Holy Spirit guiding our steps.
When you sit and read ACTS 16:6-10, it surely makes us realize the divinity of the Holy Spirit and how if we will listen, we will be guided correctly- sometimes unknowingly. We may not know the how and where of tomorrow, but if we listen for God’s Guidance, it is sure to come. Be Blessed.

“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works…” Eph. 2:10 (NKJV)
This verse of scripture follows the well known verses Eph. 2:8-9 (salvation by grace and not by works). Verse 10 says, “we are His workmanship…” The word used here for workmanship is not used to imply a mechanical type piece of equipment but rather a work of art such as poetry, art, or a symphony. It refers to a display of worth rather than functional achievement.
We are a product of God’s character that reflects His attributes on display in human form. The fruits of the Spirit are the display God intended for us to exhibit.
“…created for good works.” Good works are ordained by God to follow our “new creation experience.” Works are not a performance to give us better standing with God. God does not love and accept us based on our works. He accepts us based on Jesus’ work. When we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior, God reconciles us to Himself. We are then His possession. Good works follow our acceptance of Christ. We are different. We act different. We live different. This is not a change to impress God but a change made possible by the likeness of Christ that we embrace at salvation. We believe in Christ to become Christians. Our behavior reflects our belief. This does not lead to perfect behavior but a “perfect attitude of love” toward God and others. Thus fulfilling the instructions, “be ye perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect…” We become perfect, not in performance but in attitude. It becomes important to us to do the will of God, even though we will persist in less than perfect behavior.
Since we are created for good works, let us submit to our Creator and live up to what we are made for. Good works do not make us more godly. They reflect our true understanding of who we are after becoming one with Jesus Christ. Think about it—the more we understand our relationship with God through Jesus Christ the more our behavior becomes the “good works” we are created to exhibit. Our life is not lived to impress God but to reflect Him to the world around us.
“And being fully convinced that what He had promised, He was also able to perform.” Roman 4:21 (NKJV)
As of yesterday we have finished three months of this present trial. In the beginning we figured that three months would see us through, and we would be back to business as usual. This has not been the case. It seems that we have at least that much longer to go. This tests our confidence and faith.
The scripture I referred to earlier is in reference to Abraham believing God’s promise concerning Isaac. As with us God never set a time limit. He just said it would happen. In Mark 16 Jesus said, “…they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover.” There was no time limit given on the recovery.
I am in the process of recovery. God is in charge of the time frame. It could be an instantaneous miracle or a medical procedure. The real issue is “believing that God will do what He said He would do.”
I am confident that God is at work in all of us because we all have a part to play in this recovery. It is my responsibility to believe and rest in Him. It is your responsibility to continue to be faithful in your calling.
Don’t allow time to interfere with your faith. Remember, God is in charge of time, and He is never late. Continue to be faithful, and we will all see the victory. It is a promise!
INSANITY
We have all heard it before, “INSANITY- Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results,” and though it has been credited to a lot of different people, most believe it originated with Albert Einstein-one of the most brilliant minds in history.
If we have all heard it, and all tried it, then why do we continue to do it? Maybe, perhaps we really don’t want change at all; after all, we are creatures of habit. Maybe we just like to think things will change without any effort on our part. I know, things will evolve and change on their own-Oh, that’s right- we don’t evolve that way, do we?
What would you have your church to be like if you could have it anyway you wanted ? What would you change? Who would you have doing each ministry? What would you do to make it that way? We are at an amazing time; a time where the church can be made to be whatever we want it to be- IF YOU HELP!! Will You ?
There are needs for workers in all Ministries of this church, from the cleaning crew, to the nursery, to the Women’s groups, to the Men’s group- which is vacant right now- to the prayer team, and Music Ministry and ……. You get the Point. OH, I almost forgot and the Ministry we haven’t started yet- You know, the one You are so passionate about, but they just don’t have it here…..WHY NOT? Because you haven’t started it yet!
Time to roll up the sleeves, take your places-quit thinking church as usual, and help make CHANGE! Not for the sake of Change, but for the sake of Progress. That is all!
Pastor Tim
INSTANT CHRISTIANITY
In our society today, where everything is instant–instant coffee, instant rice, instant potatoes (yuck), it is easy to get into the mindset that everything should be so quick. We get upset if our fast food order isn’t ready at the window when we pull up after just ordering it 20 seconds earlier, yet we would not be satisfied if the food was substandard due to that same “speedy” service.
In our Christian walk we often get in the same frame of mind, expecting to accept Christ, and suddenly we are “Sanctified and Holy”….Not So. James 4:8 says, “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.” We do draw near to God when we call on the name of Jesus for our salvation, however; the road to sanctification doesn’t end there. We do become a new creation in Christ yet the “Purifying of the heart” takes a bit longer.
How many of you remember your first kiss, your first this or that? You can probably remember what song was playing on the radio, where you where, and maybe even the date; so even though you are a new creation in Christ, there are things which we still hold in our memories.
It reminds me of the story I’ve told before of a little boy pushing the lawn mower down the street, and the preacher asking what he planned to do with it. He replied he was going to trade it for a bike. Knowing the church had an old bike in the shed but they needed a lawn mower, they made a trade. The boy gladly rode off on the bike after assuring the minister that the bike worked. After some time of yanking and pulling and a great deal of sweating the lawnmower did not start. The boy soon rode the bike near the church where the pastor stopped him and said, “Tommy, I thought you said this mower worked!” The boy replied, “Oh it does, you just gotta cuss it a few times.” The preacher said, “Tommy, I am a man of God; I don’t even remember how to cuss anymore.” The boy said, “Keep pulling that cord and it’ll come back to ya.”
I know the story sounds funny, but the truth is unless we daily call on the Lord for the renewing of our minds as Romans 12:2 tells us, “ And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” Then you may indeed slowly slip back into the old habits you had before, or even never changed. This Christian walk is like that of a marathon runner. Every step is closer to the goal, but we cannot sprint to the end. We take one step at a time- asking God to mature us along the way. Christianity-Yes! Instant- NO! Pastor Tim
Surely-Surely
Psalm 91:2-3 “ I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I confidently trust! Surely (for then) He will deliver You from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.”
In the world of 2012 you hear a lot of people say, “I have a lot of trust issues.” This mean they don’t trust easily. This is not a bad thing. Our main trust should be in the Lord, our God. There are two words in these verses that are very important.
The word, trust, means to rely on the integrity of someone who is being true to you. We can rely on the integrity of God. David said in 2 Samuel 22:31 “As for God, His way is perfect, the Word of the Lord is tried; He is a buckler to all them that trust in Him.”
The second important word is “surely.” It means firmly, unerringly, without missing; undoubtedly, certainly, assuredly, without fail; yes, indeed. When we trust in the integrity of God’s Word, we know He will certainly deliver us from the attacks of the enemy. Hebrews 13:6 “…for He (God) Himself has said, ‘I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. I will not, I will not, I will not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let you down (relax My hold on you)! Assuredly not!!’”
Pastor Jerry and I have been in “shadow of the Almighty (whose power no foe can withstand).” His complete healing and deliverance will come because we trust in the integrity of God’s Word. Some days you only need to say, “surely, surely, surely!”
Yes, indeed! Yes, indeed!
If I [can] speak in the tongues of men and [even] of angels, but have not love (that reasoning, intentional, spiritual devotion such as is inspired by God’s love for and in us), I am only a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose), and understand all the secret truths and mysteries and possess all knowledge, and if I have [sufficient] faith so that I can remove mountains, but have not love (God’s love in me) I am nothing (a useless nobody).Even if I dole out all that I have [to the poor in providing] food, and if I surrender my body to be burned or in order that I may glory, but have not love (God’s love in me), I gain nothing. Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily. It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God’s love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong]. It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail…Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening].Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end]. As for prophecy the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose), it will be fulfilled and pass away; as for tongues, they will be destroyed and cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away [it will lose its value and be superseded by truth]. 1 Cor. 13-1-8
THE HOLY ALPHABET
Although things are not perfect
Because of trial or pain
Continue in thanksgiving
Do not began to blame
Even when the times are hard
Fierce winds are bound to blow
God is forever able
Hold on to what you know
Imagine life without His love
Joy would cease to be
Keep thanking Him for all the things
Love imparts to you
Move out of “Camp Complaining”
No weapon that is known
On earth can yield the power
Praise can do alone
Quit looking at the future
Redeem the time at hand
Start every day with worship
To “thank” is a command
Until we see Him coming
Victorious in the sky
We’ll run the race with gratitude
Xalting God most high
Yes, there’ll be good times and some bad
Zion waits in glory…where none are ever sad!
This I recall to my mind, therefore I have hope. Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I hope in Him!” The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should hope and wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord. Lamentations 3:21-26
At some point in our lives we all have said, “I wish I could go back and make a different choice, correct a mistake, do something over again. The good news is the past is already out of God’s mind. He makes all things brand new and gives us a chance to make today a better day. Yesterday is gone, tomorrow has not yet come but we do have today.
Through God’s mercy today is the first day of the rest of our life. We can’t use up His mercies. We can wake up with a sense of God’s marvelous grace. Knowing and accepting the Lord’s mercies keep us from living with guilt or discouragement because of poor choices we may have made in the past.
God never intended for us to be stuck in the past with a “what if mentality.” Having a “what if mentality” will cause us to never step into the future of God’s promises. In a supernatural way God give gives us a new start every day.
God’s mercies are new every morning. Not mornings according to how I may feel. Even those mornings when you just want to put the sheet over your head and not get up. God is there with a hand extended saying to you, “come on today is a new day, my mercy is new, accept it.
“Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Matthew 16:16-18
Jesus heard what Peter was saying, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” From that statement Jesus made a declaration. “I will build My church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it”. True to his word Jesus has been building his church and continues to do so to this very day.
Continues meaning- to last or make something last beyond the present or throughout a period of time. The church continues to be built as the gospel is been preached and souls are added to the Kingdom of God. We are the Church Jesus is building as the Holy Spirit is moving among us today!
“RIDE OR WALK”
Acts 2:1 “And when the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.”
There has been the joke going around for several years that ask the question, “Where is a car listed in the Bible?” Most people can’t get it and so you respond with “An Accord” from the verse Acts 2:1. “They were all with (in) one accord.”
“With one accord” means being unanimous, having mutual consent, and being in agreement, having group unity, having one mind and purpose. The disciples had intellectual unanimity, an emotional rapport, and volitional agreement in the newly founded church. In each of its occurrences it shows a harmony leading to action.
In order for our church to go anywhere, we need to be in the same car and going in the same direction. Our purpose and vision must be the same to move on as pioneers and not “settle” down in one place.
Notice this verse also says with one accord “in one place.” Coming together for the services in so important to make sure we are still going in the same direction. Support the two services Sunday morning and Wednesday night. Sunday mornings includes corporate praise and worship and anointed teaching and preaching of the Word. Don’t leave out Wednesday nights. Bible Study and prayer from 6:30 to 7:30 are not very long to stay connected with the body. This is a service that most people neglect. “Well, pastor, you don’t know how hard I work and it is really difficult to get there.” I know some people have to work on Wednesdays and don’t have time to get there. To get the whole picture and direction of the church, try to come together in prayer on Wednesday nights.
Flying If God is your Copilot – you’re in the wrong seat!
Unconditional Love Yes, God loves us all, but He favors “fruits of the spirit” over “religious nuts!”
The Message Our job isn’t to change the message. Our job is to let the message change us.
Romans 15:13 Now by the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing that you may abound in hope through the power of the Holy Ghost.
Hope mean’s “to desire something with confident expectation of its fulfillment.
It seems as if some people are optimistic by nature. Whereas some may see a glass half full and the other one sees a glass half empty. One person sees the dark side of every cloud while the other looks for the silver lining.
The hope I am talking about is not based on our individual temperament. If it was it would be an empty, blind hope.
When we are standing in faith and seems as if our faith is quit working it hasn’t, we have just begin to lose hope. When things we are believing for take s long time in coming we must keep hope alive for that is what keep us knowing God is faithful to His promises. Hope is not based on wishful or desperation but on our covenant with God. (Eph. 2:12) Your faith is intact, it is in you because the word is in you.
Church let hope come alive and began to see yourself with what God has promised you more than you can see yourself with without.
Sister Shirley
REASON FOR THE POWER
Acts 1:8 “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and in Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
Many Christians experience the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and begin to live like this power was just for them to be used for themselves. That is not the reason God wants us full with His Spirit. ** Jesus had just said, “It is not yours to know the future (1:7), but it is yours to receive the Spirit’s power.” With these words He makes three points:
1. The Holy Spirit is the Person and the Power by which assistance and ability are given for serving, for sharing the life and power of God’s kingdom with others. It has been given to “witness” to others. That power is not to edify myself. Praying in tongues will “build you up” (Jude 20) you but the power “gifts” are for the body.
2. The Holy Spirit’s power must be “received.” It is not an automatic experience. As surely as the Holy Spirit indwells each believer (Rom. 8:9) so surely will He fill and overflow (John 7:37-39) each who receive the Holy Spirit in childlike faith. Ask for it.
3. When the Holy Spirit fills you, you will know it. Jesus said it and the disciples found it true. (Acts 1:5, 2:1-4)
Have you received the Holy Spirit? (Acts 19:1-6) You may, for the promise is as fully yours today as at any time in the past (Acts 2:38-39).
How much will New Life grow if we utilize this Power of the Holy Spirit to witness to the world around us?
