Category: AS THE WORLD TURNS

1st Corinthians 10:13 “There hath no temptation taken you but such is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.” Three things we need to recognize about trials: 1. Testings and temptations are COMMON to man.  Not one is ever tested or tried with things that are not common to mankind.  Satan does not have the right to call upon his experience as a heavenly, anointed being to apply things that are outside the realm of humanity, as tests or trials.    2. God is faithful…you will not face anything you cannot overcome.  3. God ALWAYS PROVIDES A WAY OF ESCAPE.

Psalm 143:8 “Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning: for in thee do I trust: cause me to know thy way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.” 

Psalm 90:1-3 “Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in al generations.  Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.” 

I speak BLESSINGS and PEACE to you today in Jesus Name. 

Looking forward to seeing you this morning as we gather together to lift up Jesus! YOU ARE WELL ABLE!

PD & Kathy

2nd Corinthians 10:4 “(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds;)”The enemies weapons are no match for the weapons God has provided for us.  Thank God, the weapons of our warfare are NOT CARNAL (flesh and blood).  BUT the enemy is limited to the things that are COMMON to mankind, BUT WE ARE NOT!  We have access to the full armor of God, HIMSELF.  Our patience rests solidly on the full assurance that, no matter what comes next, Jesus has provided more than enough to victory to put us over.  You are going OVER not UNDER! 

What a wonderful time we had together yesterday at Jubilee, just to remind you: Eccl. 8:4 “Where the word of a king is, there is power:…………” And you have been made a KING UNTO HIM, IT IS TIME TO MAKE SOME GODLY DECLARATIONS IN JESUS NAME!  YOU ARE WELL ABLE!

December 19th @ 10:30 is this year’s CHRISTMAS SERVICE, bring someone! 

PD & Kathy 

Sometimes, I have heard from many Christians that “….All things work together for good to them that love God” as a reason to fail.  That is one of the reasons that the Apostle Paul told Timothy to “STUDY” so that you can “RIGHTLY DIVIDE THE WORD OF TRUTH.” (2nd Tim. 2:15) Just that phrase alone, must mean that you can WRONGLY divide the Word.  For instance in the Scripture from Romans 8:28, people use it to say that “all the devil does to me will turn out for my good.  After all, you know the Bible says we are made stronger by the trials and tribulations of this life.”  The WORD DOES NOT SAY THAT AT ALL!  When the Apostle Paul wrote that ALL things work together for the good of those that love God and are called according to His purpose, he was teaching IN CONTEXT on intercessory prayer, and the ministry of the Holy Spirit. 

MEN OF DESTINY TONIGHT: this will be the last meeting of the year, we will be looking at lesson 6.

CHRISTMAS SUNDAY: DECEMBER 19TH @10:30…bring someone!   YOU ARE WELL ABLE! 

Yesterday’s trivia: Darius, Ezra 6:1,9.

Today’s trivia: The (priests, scribes, ministers) were to put salt on the bullock without blemish presented as an offering.                              Hint: Ezekiel 43:24. 

WE CALL YOU BLESSED IN JESUS NAME!

Romans 8:26-28 “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.  And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.  And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”  All things work together for the good of those who love God, when we are operating together in intercessory prayer!  More often than not, when I have heard this Scripture quoted, it was something like this: ‘and we know that all BAD THINGS work together;” Now, I realize that God can turn BAD THINGS around, but contextually this verse is not saying ALL BAD THINGS…in fact BAD THINGS isn’t mentioned.  The THINGS that work together are the WORD OF GOD, the GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, the NAME OF JESUS, and the POWERFUL WEAPONS of the Body of Christ.  Those are the THINGS that work together for the good of those who love God. As we operate by the Holy Spirit, the things that the enemy throws at you will be overcome by the power of the things of God, and VICTORY WILL BE THE RESULT!  THE WORD OF GOD WORKS WHEN WE PUT IT TO WORK….and YOU ARE WELL ABLE! 

TONIGHT: WARFARE ON WEDNESDAY…putting into practice Romans 8:26-28.

Thanks so much for the wonderful turnout of men last night, you are all a real joy…also, SPECIAL THANKS to SISTER THELMA WILEY who so wonderfully has been supplying the food.  WHAT A BLESSING! 

DECEMBER 19, will be our CHRISTMAS SERVICE, honoring the birth of our LORD JESUS!  

Yesterday’s trivia: Priests, Ezekiel 43:24.

Today’s trivia: Our (lives, speech, knowledge) should be seasoned with salt according to Paul. Hint: Colossians 4. 

PD & Kathy

In times past, the times when I have heard “all things work together for the good” used, it was used in context to some tragedy or difficulty that someone was experiencing, such as: “well you know, that airplane crashed, and all the passengers were killed but we know that all things work together for the good.” Or something like: “I lost my job and became homeless, but I know that all things work together for good.”  NO…NO…NO…a thousand times no, trials and tribulations do not build our faith, they can build character.  If it were the trials and tribulations that make us strong, everyone on earth would be a spiritual giant.  Certainly, there have been enough trials and tribulations to perfect the saints.  This must not be the avenue through which God perfects (matures) us. Ephesians 4:11-12 “And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, pastors and teachers; FOR THE PERFECTING OF THE SAINTS, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.”  (emphasis mine) This is the way the saints are perfected–not through tribulations.  We are to be perfected by the Word through the ministry.  We should be hearing things like: “Praise God sister so-and-so just inherited a million dollars, and we know that ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR THE GOOD.” 

GOD IS SOOOO GOOD! What a wonderful time we had together last night at intercessory prayer.  Thanks so much for your involvement. 

Yesterday’s trivia: Speech, Colossians 4:6

Today’s trivia: Who prayed with John that the Samaritans would receive the Holy Spirit? Hint: Acts 8

This Sunday is CHRISTMAS SUNDAY SERVICE, bring someone with you, and EXPECT GOD TO MOVE BY HIS SPIRIT! 

Every day with Jesus should be sweeter than the day before…and YOU ARE WEL ABLE.

PD & Kathy 

Praise God for John 10:10, I am so glad that God didn’t send cancer to edify me or poverty to perfect my faith.  No, these are under the curse of the law, they are from satan and we are to triumph over them with the power twins–faith and patience.  The Word does not say faith is developed by trials, but it does say that the trying of our faith works patience.  It’s what we do WITH trials and tribulations that makes the difference, not the fact that we are suffering.  There are those in the Church who think we are to glory in tribulations, but tribulation is not the goal of Christianity.

Yesterday’s trivia: Peter, Acts 8:124-15

Today’s trivia: Who was sent by God to restore Paul’s sight? Hint: Acts 9.

How many have you invited and are bringing to Church this Christmas Sunday? YOU ARE WELL ABLE.

PD & Kathy 

Many think we can’t be worth anything until we suffer.  That’s not true.  You’ll not be worth anything unless you OVERCOME that suffering.  Suffering is the result of the attack of the enemy.  The glory is in overcoming that trial with the Word of God, through the power of God.  There is no glory in knuckling down and enduring trials.  This is why we count it all joy when we are tried.  We know that Jesus has defeated the enemy, and that we are victors over anything he sends our way. John 16:33 says “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace.  In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”  The glory lies in overcoming the world and its trials and tribulations.  Trouble may come our way, but through the good things of God, He ALWAYS causes us to triumph IN CHRIST JESUS. 

TOMORROW IS CHRISTMAS SUNDAY…….I am expecting the Holy Spirit to move and touch many lives.

Yesterday’s trivia: Ananias, Acts 9:10-12.

Today’s trivia: Who witnessed to a eunuch in a chariot? Hint: Acts 8.

Looking forward to gathering together tomorrow in the HOLY GHOST. YOU ARE WELL ABLE! 

PD & Kathy 

THIS IS CHRISTMAS SUNDAY LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AND YOUR GUESTS!

Wanted to make sure that everyone understands some things: 1. We have Christmas trees, BUT we don’t worship them.         2. Jesus was probably NOT born on December 25th, and we don’t worship THE DAY. 3. We do celebrate the fact that Jesus was born to a virgin, God manifest in the flesh, GOD’S GIFT TO ALL MANKIND and we celebrate HIS BIRTH!

Yesterday’s trivia: Philip, Acts 8:26-27

Today’s trivia: According to the Bible, how many “wise men” were there? 

Did you know that the REAL MEANING OF CHRISTMAS is that ‘GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE’!  Aren’t you glad that you have RECEIVED that precious Gift?  YOU ARE WELL ABLE! 

PD & Kathy 

Romans 5:1-4 “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ…And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; and patience, experience; and experience, hope.”  Paul was saying that he had peace with God whatever came his way.  He had this peace, not only when things were working right for him, but also when trouble came down the road.  He did not let go of his peace with God because of tribulation.  This tribulation only worked patience in him, and PATIENCE BROUGHT THE EXPERIENCE OF VICTORY! Then the experience of victory worked hope. And faith puts SUBSTANCE to hope! 

What a glorious time we had yesterday, so many people worked so long and hard to bring our service together…what a BLESSING YOU ALL ARE… and it’s because: YOU ARE WELL ABLE IN JESUS NAME!  Thanks so much! 

Yesterday’s trivia: We don’t know the ACTUAL number of wise men, only that there was a plurality. Matthew 2:1

Today’s trivia: Who wanted to buy the power of the Holy Spirit? Hint: Acts 8.

WARFARE ON WEDNESDAY @7:00 our numbers and power are exponentially growing!
