Something to think about.
Properly Prepared
45 David
said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and
javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the
God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. 1 Samuel 17:45
When you face a battle are you unarmed? Are you facing your adversary whether it be foe or situation with the “Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel,” Goliath with his weapons of war was unarmed before the Lord? He never had a chance.

Metaphorical?
Something to think about.
Metaphorical?
4 And falling
to the ground he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you
persecuting me?” 5 And he said, “Who are you, Lord?” And he said, “I am
Jesus, whom you are persecuting. Acts 9:4-5
At this moment as
Jesus is speaking to Saul He has been crucified and resurrected. He is
not anywhere where Saul can actually persecute Him. Jesus chooses to use
these words, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?" And again, “I am
Jesus, whom you are persecuting." He uses the words, Me and I. Jesus
does not say, my disciples, my people, my church. Is Jesus saying when
you are persecuting my people you are persecuting me because my people
and I are one? Imagine that if we are one with Christ those who
persecute us persecute Him who created the universe and all that is in
it.

New Every Morning
Something to think about.
New Every Morning
22 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
23 they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23 (ESV)
I
am grateful that the mercy of God towards me did not cease yesterday.
Every day His love grants me all the mercy I need for this day. Thank
you God for your mercy.

Announcement "Testimonies of Faith"
Announcement
"Testimonies of Faith"
To our family of faith at Faith Assembly of God in Orlando Florida. The writers of faith which is a small group of Faith Assembly of God has begun to compile stories, testimonies of what God has done in our lives. We will take this compilation and produce a book entitled “Testimonies of Faith.” We are asking those of you who attended faith to share your testimony. We are also asking you to share this post with all of your friends at faith.
Why are we doing this?
When John the Baptist had his doubts about Jesus he sent some of his disciples to Jesus asking Him are you the one.
When the men had come to Him, they said, “John the Baptist has sent us to You, saying, ‘Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?’ ” 21 And that very hour He cured many of infirmities, afflictions, and evil spirits; and to many blind He gave sight.
22 Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and tell John the things you have seen and heard: that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have the gospel preached to them. 23 And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me.” Luke 7:20-23
His response in short was go testify to John about what I have done. He asks us the same thing, go testify of what I have done. So we ask you to be a part of the tapestry that shows the wonder and majesty of God.

People Pleaser?
Something to think about.
People Pleaser?
“Am I now
trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to
please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a
servant of Christ.” Galatians 1:10 NIV
To stand for Christ
almost always means you will be at odds with society. Face it, if you
are a Christian you are an oddity the world cannot know you because they
do not know Him who lives in you.
