BACK AND READY TO GO





Well church, we are back and ready to continue with current and anointed preaching of the Word of God. We had a great time traveling in Michigan, Tennessee and Georgia. Seeing and being with family and friends. They are always a great source of encouragement and enjoyment for us. I also had the opportunity and honor of preaching at the Wesleyan Mission Church in Hazel Park, Mi. We had a blessed time with our brothers and sisters in the faith. God gave me a message just for them. I trust the given Words of life blessed them as it did me.

Welcome everyone to your 24/7, week long, online church service. Always remember, church, everyone is welcome in this place. This is a special month for the Spirit of Wisdom Ministry. We are now entering our third year of presenting the 24/7, online church services to you. I am so thankful to our heavenly Father and his Son, Jesus Christ, for enabling us to be of service to you. Our desire is to impart the spirit of wisdom to you. Our focus is one with the apostle Paul as expressed in Ephesians 1:16-17. Let’s read it together:

(I) cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him.”

Truer words have never been spoken. I pray for each of you daily. The only real and true wisdom in this earth is that which God imparts to you by his Holy Spirit and the Word of God, which is of course, the Bible. Knowing God does not come from good works or from “being good.” No, my friends. Knowing God comes by revelation.

God makes himself available to you through his son Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit of God urges you to receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior. As we have said so many times before, receiving Jesus in your heart and living for him is a conscious and deliberate choice. Our online church is just one of the ways God uses to direct you to himself.

As we enter our third year of service preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ to you, it would be wise to review the purpose and direction God has given to us. The mission of our online church is pretty basic. First and foremost, we are to present Jesus Christ to a lost and dying world. We proclaim Jesus as the only, let me repeat that, Jesus Christ is the only salvation available to you for the forgiveness of sin and for the gift of eternal life with our Father in heaven.

Every message we give is designed to bring anyone who reads or listens to us to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. God’s only begotten son, who died on that old rugged cross just for you. Why did Jesus do that for us? The answer is this, my friends – LOVE. God loves us. A couple of Bible scriptures to show you how much God loves us will now be given. Take it personally, my friends. God loves you. Now, turn with me to I John 4:9-10:

“In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we love God, but that he loved us, and sent his son to be the propitiation for our sins.”
There, didn’t I tell you folks? God loved us before we could ever love him. Jesus became our substitute and because of his death, burial and resurrection, we may live through him. This gift is for everyone!! That is the reason everyone is welcome in our online services. Let’s continue. Romans 5:8 states:

“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
Do you get this, church? God did not wait for us to get righteous to send his son to die for us. No, Jesus died for us while we were yet sinners so we could become righteous in him. Conclusion – Our church mission is to help bring the lost to Jesus Christ so they may be saved. Is that you? We are here to help you. Have you known Jesus, but walked back into sin? We are here to help you.

The second part of our online church ministry is to preach healing to you. We believe God is the ultimate physician. While on the earth, Jesus healed many individuals. The devil is a spirit of sickness, disease, destruction and death. Jesus is a spirit of life. All through the Bible Jesus did three things. He preached, he taught and he healed. Matthew 11:1 shows this. All right, read it with me:

“And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.”

Well, guess what happened after Jesus preached and taught the people? Matthew 11:5 says, (Jesus is speaking here)

“The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up and the poor have the gospel preached to them.”
We can only conclude that God is a God of healing. Our ministry preaches healing of the mind, body and spirit through and by the name of Jesus Christ. And yes, my friends, healing is for today. Why? Because God is a present time God.

We also preach deliverance from demonic oppression. We believe in the casting out of devils. In fact, we command the spirits of doubt, unbelief, fear and infirmity to leave you this instant. Live in peace, love, mercy and grace. Praise God! We will continue this message next week.

God Bless You,
Bro. Bob
