Offering Message: In John 6:5 Jesus asked Philip to do beyond what he could do. Don’t measure what God asks you to do by what’s in your pocketbook. It’s “His treat”. God is a good communicator. We can go as much by what God does NOT say as much as what He does say. Sermon Message: The first part of Pastor Dale’s teaching on “Divine Guidance” was that your integrity will guide you. Do what you say you will do. Secondly, godly counsel, through a book or other people, can help lead you. People are put into your life to teach you and to give you another perspective through their experiences. Thirdly, obeying the Word guides you. God has given us everything that relates to life and godliness. Satan tries to deceive and complicate things, but slow down and separate the issues in complicated problems. When you are in the will of God, He honors your obedience. I John 1:5 tells us that God is light, and we are to walk in the light of God’s Word and in His fellowship. As we surrender to God, we can be lead by Him. If you are in confusion, doubt, fear, etc. do not make decisions. I John 2:9-11- unforgiveness and walking in unrepented sin clouds the mind and produces a shadow of doubt. Check on your relationship with the Lord. John 16:7-9 tells us that a believer should not walk in condemnation. The Holy Spirit will convict of in, so don’t let the world’s standards or another person judge you. Let God show you your sins and ask to be cleansed. I John 1:9- If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Heb. 4:16 tells us that we can come boldly into the throne room and receive mercy. Let God examine your heart and don’t get paranoid about sin. John 8:12- Walk in the light of life. Repentance puts you into a different state of mind. How do you keep out of trouble? Walk in love. What would love do? Let love direct your decisions.
Divine Guidance
Know God
Offering message: God meets all your needs. You get to choose what is your need. II Cor. 9:6 and 7 teaches us about the generous and the cheerful sower. The offering went to Alexy’s ministry and orphanage in Ukraine. Several pictures from his orphanage were shown during the offering. SERMON- Do you need more faith? Start with the Word of God. Paul’s letter to the church in Ephesus includes a powerful prayer that we should pray, too (Ephesians 1: 12-19). Pray for the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of God. We need to be dissatisfied with where we are. Is knowing God a priority in your life? We’re called to know God and to grow in the knowledge of Him. God raised Gideon up to be who God said he was. God loves us and the sinner. This world needs the power of God, and we need to be His mouthpieces for the Gospel. The riches of the glory of His inheritance is for when we go to heaven, but it is also for now. Pray for more than what you have presently.
The Next Decade Part 3
Eph. 4:11, 12. Ministry is work. It is equipping and perfecting the saints. A personal relationship with God requires relationship with others. God will build a perfect church. Don’t focus so much on your part that you lose the plan for the whole Body. John 3:16 tells us that God loves the world, and you should love what He loves. Eph. 5:24-27 explains that husbands are to love their wives as Christ loves the church. Jesus loves the church. Family is the first description of the church. John 10:10 strongly lets us know that Jesus Christ came to give us life abundantly. The abundant life is in the context of a good shepherd. The abundant life is in an abundant body of believers. People need to know that you care. You have something to give in the Body. The acronym for this body is T(ransform), E(quip), A(nd), M(obilize). The church should be the best equipping service in all arenas. You need all the ministry gifts. Mobilize; do something; get busy. Your ministry is where you are. Begin with prayer and your sphere of influence. Do what love would do. Read and personalize I Cor. 13:4-8. Offering Message: (Pat Murphy) I Chron. 16:25-33. Praise is part of bringing an offering. David worshiped and was a big giver. He provided for the needs of the temple to be built, from worshipers to gold. When the Ark of the Covenant was being moved the right way, an offering was made after every six steps. For a four mile distance, that would have been 6500 oxen and 6500 sheep. Real worshipers give liberally and give as an expression of love. Are you giving what God tells you to give?
How To Be Lead By The Spirit Part 3
Offering message: John 6:5 and 6. God will often make you face the impossible. Don’t be afraid of needs and problems. God will put you in a tough place to prove you. He’s going to use, bless, and fill you. He knows what He is going to do through you. Go after the big problems. God always knows what He is going to do. He doesn’t lose sleep over your problems. Pastor Dale tells of Paul Yonggi Cho’s (in The Fourth Dimension) sowing his house and needing $50,000 by the 31st of December of one year and how God showed him what to do during the last hours. Believe when you sow. Sermon Notes: Text: Prov. 6:20-22. You want to live knowing that you’ve done the will of God. How do you know what is God’s will for you? (1) Let your integrity guide you. (Listen to last Wednesday’s sermon.) (2) God has given the spirit of counsel. He wants us to tap into divine counsel. Safety is in the multitude of counselors. It doesn’t say decision-makers. Counsel does not give you the right to abdocate your personal responsibility. You still make the decisions. A good counselor will show you the options and the consequences of your decisions and will direct you to the responsibility to the Word and its consequences. Don’t be quick to guide people too much. You are giving counsel when a person acts on what he or she decides. Ask for anointed counsel. (3) Know that your actions are based on the Word of God. What you do needs to based on the Word of God. The Word leads you. Ps. 119:105 God’s Word is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path. Make a commitment to the Word. It’s an anchor. It will help you to discern. The Spirit and the Word always agree. Let the Word guide you. The Word is counsel. Hold onto it, and don’t let it go. I Cor. 15:57 God always leads you into victory. You are bound to victory like a husband and wife are bound to each other. Regulate your life by the Word of God. How do I apply the Word to my life? What does the Word say to or about me? Walk in love and keep the Word as a high priority. Matt. 6:24-34 tells you that you can’t serve God and money. Money should not be the determining factor when you make decisions. Don’t let the love of money be your guide or god. Don’t let style be your guide. If you start getting your eyes off the Word, you’ll start letting materialism get in. The Word gets rid of worry and will lead you. Be led by the Word, not by the world. Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all the other things (clothing, food, shelter…) will be added to you. Seek the kingdom. Don’t seek the things. How do you treat the Word? It is God’s revelation to you. I John 2:15-16 Don’t love the world’s system and the world’s way of doing things. The love in us is opposing the world’s thinking and system. Don’t follow the the lusts of the flesh, the lusts of the eyes, and the pride of life. Kenneth Hagin said that pride kept him from publishing several books.
The Next Decade Part 2
Offering: Pat Murphy ministered the offering message from Mal. 3:15-18. When you give, give with faith and worship, and bring your offerings with an expression of love to God. Dale Armstrong: Text: Eph. 1:16-20. Pray to find your calling. There are three core elements. We are to Transform, Equip And Mobilize. God transforms our lives and our thinking to be more like Jesus. Jesus crossed the sea in a storm to reach one demon-possessed man. Satan will try to stop whatever you try to do. Transformation goes into responsibility. Mobilization sends people out. Your calling gives you hope (Eph. 1:18). There is no destiny or purpose in evolution. There are no accidents. God has a plan for your life. Ask God why you are here and hold onto the hope of your calling. Hope is a sure cure for depression. #1 God has put desires in you. Ps. 37:4. Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart. There are two kinds of desires: the intrinsic desires of what’s inside of you, and there is the desire you pick up from the flesh, devil, and the world. You are responsible to not let go of the desires of God’s plan. Don’t mix the desires He gives with those of the world and flesh. For example, you may have a desire to be a doctor, or you may have a desire to be rich. #2 He gives you relationships. Make disciples and don’t use people. Serve the body and commit to it and don’t divorce your pastor. Value relationships and note divine appointments. Pastor Dale shares several experiences of divine appointments. Ask God for wisdom for the day and for His plan and calling for you.
How To Be Lead By The Spirit Part 2
Why should you want to be led by the Holy Spirit? It can lead you to new experiences, give you an accuracy in your decisions that will make you effective in evangelism, and save you time and money. How can you be led by the Holy Spirit? Prov. 11:3 tells you that the integrity of the upright will guide them. Your integrity can lead you, and you can do what is right. If you have a “scratchy” feeling about something, don’t go any further with it. Why should God give you a divine revelation when you aren’t following the scriptures? If you aren’t in fellowship with God, you’re walking in darkness. What will the Holy Spirit do for you? He will convict you of sin and lead you into repentance, and He will lead you into truth (John 16:13) which will set you free. Preach the truth and live your convictions. Follow the desires of your spirit. I John 2:20 and 27 inform you that you have an anointing from God, and He will lead you into what you need. The anointing lives in us and teaches us. It doesn’t matter who teaches you, you are the judge, and you decide what you will learn. You can learn from anyone if you yield to the Holy Spirit. How long will you need supernatural guidance and counsel? Ps. 73:24 tells you that you’ll need it your whole life. Prov. 2:1-11 advises you about receiving God’s counsel. Pay the price for getting God’s counsel. Seek for it. It will help you make decisions to make your life better.
The Next Decade Part 1
Using texts of Eph. 4:11-12 and Acts 26:13-16 Pastor Dale preaches about the promises of the Bible that are for the body of Christ corporately. Each church body has its own personality traits; they are not right or wrong necessarily, but just different. What has God called us (CWI) to be and do? Transform Equip And Mobilize. We are after transformation, not reformation. What’s the difference? Transformation changes the nature of a person through God’s power and compassion. Pastor Dale shares various examples he has seen of peoples’ lives being transformed. God can change people. Paul’s encounter with God transformed his life. Transformation is happening in our times of worship, in our children’s ministry, etc. What is a change of the nature in a person? It’s a heart of stone becoming a heart of flesh beating with God’s compassion. If we stop seeing transformation in peoples’ lives, we will lose compassion, and we need to question what we are doing. Believe in God’s power of transformation. Also in this service: A video was shown about Global Media Outreach and Dwight Miller and Miriam Remington explained how GMO works. Pastor Dale gave the offering message: Isaac and Jesus both had to cooperate with the sacrifices made by Abraham and God, respectively. Phil. 4:19 reminds us that God is “MY” God who will supply all your needs.
Focus On Jesus
God loves us and gives us the free-will to choose or reject Him. We have the choice to choose life. God did it all, and now it’s up to us to choose. He not only tells us what we should do, but He shows us how to do it. People are watching you as a Christian. Heb. 12:1-3 tells us that it’s our job to lay aside the weights and sins and that it’s easy for sin to come at us. It also tells us to focus on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. Jesus is our example. He endured for us and our salvation and so that people would have a choice for life. Matt. 6:22 The light of the body is the eye. Prov. 20:27 The spirit of man is the candle (light, lamp) of the Lord. The Greek word is the same for lamp, light, and candle. If your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. Matt. 6:23 If your focus is evil, your whole body will be full of darkness. Matt. 6:24 You can’t serve the world (money) and God. Don’t let money be your focus. Your focus determines who you will serve. I Cor. 2:12 We have received the Spirit of God. You can lose your salvation if you get your focus off Jesus. Eph. 5:8 For you were once darkness, but now you are in the light of the Lord. Walk as children of light. Repent and turn your focus to Christ. Choose life, focus on Him, and He will bring direction to your life, and it will be possible to cast your cares on Him. Where is your focus?
Think a New Thought and Be Bold
Mats Ola from Moscow challenges us to think what we have not thought before. In John 4, Jesus shocked His disciples and the woman at the well. He broke barriers by talking to a woman, first of all, and to a Samaritan secondly. The Jews did not do this! What was the result? A village and then a whole region was opened to the Gospel. The first step is: BELIEVE GOD FOR NEW STEPS, THE ABILITY TO SEE OPPORTUNITIES, AND THE RELEASE OF THE CREATIVE GIFT IN YOU. In I Cor. 2:9 we are told that we have not seen or heard and known in our hearts what things God has prepared for those who love Him. Mats Ola tells of a time he was called on to do something “impossible” (turn a glass right-side up with a tennis ball in it), but the Spirit of God showed him how to do it, and he shocked everyone there. In Acts 13:2 the Spirit clearly told the believers that Barnabas and Saul were to be separated for the work He had for them, but they had to seek Him to get the details (Acts 16:6). Mats Ola tells how he was led by the Spirit to go to a home group instead of to a big Christian concert and how he had to seek God and not give up in adopting his twin children. The unlimited is in us. Don’t give up too quickly! Think about your life in God. Ask: Where am I fruitless? Is there something lacking? Where am I stagnant? The second step is: BE BOLD TO DO SOMETHING YOU HAVE NOT DONE BEFORE. Know that there will be resistance, especially in the getting-started stage! It takes more force to get the train started than to keep it going. There are seeds of revelation in us, but there are hindrances and postponements. In II Kings 2 Elisha knew Elijah was going home, so he asked for a double portion of the anointing. He had a challenge when he saw Elijah go. Would the double portion work for him? Standing by the Jordan River with the sons of the prophets watching him to see what he would do, he had to be bold and believe that he had what he asked for. It was a risk, but he took it and the water divided. BE BOLD!
Testimony to Transform the Church to a House of Matthew
Offering and communion: Pastor Dale reminds us that we can do all through Christ Jesus (Phil. 4:13) and that we should see a need as an opportunity to touch others. He ministered communion using I Cor. 11:23-26. Pastor Mats Ola Ishoel, a Norwegian who pastors the vibrant Word of Life Church in Moscow, Russia, inspires the church to be Jesus to the unsaved and unbelievers. It is harvest time, and it is for a season. We should be attracting unbelievers to the church and to Jesus. How do we do that? It is the life and love of God and Jesus Christ in us! The house of Matthew (Matt. 9:9-13) was attractive to unbelievers with Jesus in the middle. There was no compromise, but there was fellowship and then life-changing salvations. Jesus was open and friendly. BE LIKE HIM! We should fear becoming cold and indifferent. Do we care about the fate of others around us? Be alive- from the inside out and care for others as Jesus does. Luke 6:36 tells us to be merciful. Our church should have new people all the time. We need to be interested in people and get to know them and take the initiative and be inclusive in our attitude. James 2:15-17 says clearly that our faith is dead without works. It’s the works and action that make our faith and love come alive. Invite and bring people to church. Connect with people. Do we love our church? Then we’ll talk about it to everyone we come in contact with. Ask God for wisdom and creativity to reach out to unbelievers, our neighbors, and co-workers. Matt. 9:36-38 Jesus was moved with compassion. The harvest is plentiful, and the laborers are few. Always be looking for people to attract to Jesus and the church. Care and be genuinely interested in them.
How to Be Led by the Holy Spirit Part 1
We must be led by and yield to the Spirit. Listen to how the Holy Spirit led Pastor Dale to find someone in Greece. Prov. 11:3 “The integrity of the upright shall guide them.” One side of this is that there is a measure of holiness and being in right relationship with God as a prerequisite. God leads the upright. We can be sensitive and hear and be fine-tuned to the Spirit. You don’t have to keep asking God, if you do what’s right. Integrity will guide you. God won’t give you a specific word when you don’t intend to follow the guidance He has written in His Word. Pastor Dale tells of his experience of being filled with the Holy Spirit in the United Methodist Church and having an opportunity to go to Asbury College. There was no decision when he saw that the application would only be accepted if he marked that he had never spoken in other tongues. God has integrity and is a gentleman who needs to be invited into your life. Ps. 15:4b “He who swears to his own hurt and does not change” … (verse 5 “shall not be moved”). Keeping your word is the other side of inegrity. God can’t guide you if you’ve already given your word and made a decision. Choices can confine you. Life is like a train on a train-track. You will fulfill God’s will on that track. Watch your words. God guides us according to the limits of your words. Pastor Dale tells of hearing from God when he went to Moscow and planned to go to Veronich to speak for a pastor. He sensed the Holy Spirit telling him not to get on the plane, but he had given his word, so he went to a great deal of difficulty to reach the pastor. The pastor was so glad he called, because he needed to leave because of a death in the family. Because he was in Moscow, he asked God what to do, and He told him to pray over the Metro stations in Moscow for three days/nights. As a result of his praying, the Spirit of God came and gave him a love for Moscow and the Russian people. BE OBEDIENT TO THE INTEGRITY OF YOUR WORD in order to get further revelation and guidance. When you do what you need to by integrity, God will fill in the gap with specifics. Do what God tells you to do and be usable. God will use whatever He needs to, to get you where you need to be. You don’t need to pray about doing what God has told you to do. FOLLOW THE INTEGRITY IN YOUR HEART.
The Next Decade What God Has Called Us To
God gave Jesus Christ all authority (power), and He gave it to us and told us to go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit- Matt. 28:18-20. The next decade goes to 2020, an important year in the world’s “measuring stick”. This generation is one of change: boundaries, accessibility to the whole world, America as the leader in missions, peoples to be evangelized… What does God want to perform in your life in the next ten years? Obey Jesus. God has the world in mind in everything you do. Mark 16:15 tells us to preach the gospel to every creature; it also tells us all what follows us when we believe. Eph. 4:11 God gave the five-fold ministries to equip the saints for the work of ministry for the building of the body of Christ. What’s your view of church life? Many people risk everything- their careers, finances, friends, security, lives- to worship with other believers. Do you value church life? We in the body of Christ need input from all of the five-fold ministries. One person can change many lives. (Example: An Arabic couple who risked their lives for ten years and have now started an Arabic television ministry in Detroit. Pradeep Perera prophesied over Pastor Dale for the next ten years about his apostolic ministry of church planting. In 1987 the Lord told him about church plants in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and Washington, D. C. He also sensed a call to Boston. Listen as Pastor Dale tells how God showed him in D. C., Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh how quickly He could put him in front of a large group of people. Each time, he had to learn that he needed to be faithful to finish what he was doing and that God would fulfill His word to him when He was ready and when Pastor Dale finished what he was doing. God is never in a hurry. In 1992-1993 God told him that He was opening a door for him and that he was to get through the door. Pastor Dale said that he had finished what God told him to do.
Your Personal Prayer Life
Phil. 4:6, 7. We are to not fret or have any anxiety for anything. God wants you to be free from anxiety and worry, but how can you do that? You turn your cares into prayers and your worries into thanksgiving. I Peter 5:7 tells you to cast your cares on Him for He cares for you. Make sure your prayers are full of thanksgiving and rejoice in the Lord. Pastor Dale tells of the time he and his wife, Teri, needed a place to live in Moscow and how they prayed and thanked the Lord for His answer. God gave them what they needed and even what they wanted. If you’re not at peace, keep thanking and praising God and look at the good. Phil. 4:8 tells us to look and think on things that are true and noble and just and pure and lovely and of good report and virtuous and praiseworthy. Just as you can lock out channels on a TV, put a lock on your mind. You choose what you think about, so speak scripture in your mind before you go to bed, and you’ll wake up with those scriptures on your mind. Negativity will take away your thanksgiving and praise. II Cor. 10:4 says that you are to pull down strongholds and imaginations, like an enemy building his castle on your property. You have to fight to pull it down. Don’t allow the stronghold to be greater than God. You can be free from depressive thoughts. You cannot stop yourself from what you’re thinking about, so you have to think about something else. Put the Word of God into your mind. (Prov. 6:20-22) (Ps. 112:1-3). Discriminate your thoughts against the Word.
Revelation to a Deeper Depth Part 2
This is a continuation of part 1 on Jan. 16th.
Revelation to a Deeper Depth Part 1
Pastor Dale tells about Gene Olon praying for someone in the “cake line” at a wedding. He also tells about praying for a man to be filled with the Holy Spirit while he was driving. Bob Hawk expounds on the word from the Lord given to him between Christmas and New Year’s 2009 about equipping us for His purpose. Sharpen your skill to listen to Him. He will quicken and illuminate what He already has in store for us. The spirit of confusion and fear has to be broken over the Body of Christ. CWI has a breaking anointing to set people free and set them into their destiny. After Oral Roberts died, there was an adjustment, a rearranging. God told Bob, “Revelations to deeper depth with a stronger flow will be released to My people. Righteousness, power to live right before the Lord, understanding how to stand in order in His body.” God is going to make adjustments in us, rearranging us, and putting us in order. Confusion comes into a church when people are out of order. Bob explains “righteousness” and “shift”. We were created for this time, and we must walk worthy, presenting our bodies as a living sacrifice, and stand perfect and complete in the will of God. We must shift from believing lies, tradition, and what symptoms say in our bodies, to the truth, which is the only thing we can agree upon.
Prophetic Releasing of Bob and Sharon Hawk into Ministry to Indonesia
Matt. 6:1,2,4,16,18; Acts 10:30, 31; Acts 13:2. God sees your heart when you give, fast, and pray. Giving pulls the greed out of you, and fasting pulls the bad out of you. God wants to show Himself strong on your behalf. Cornelius received an angelic manifestation after praying, giving alms, and fasting. (Angels help when a person does what they can, but there’s part that they need assistance, or they appear to encourage those who are not confident to do it. The purpose of Cornelius’ angelic manifestation was to bring the Gospel to the Gentiles. Pastor Dale has a word for Gene Olon. Sermon: Pastor Dale gives the history of Bob Hawk’s connection with him from the 1980s and the beginning of Church of the Word International. The first part of the “International” was meeting a man from the Philippines, and Bob was sent out to the Philippines. (Pastor Dale releases a word.) Another time in a home-church setting, Pastor Dale anointed Bob to go to all the world, even Russia. (Pastor Dale releases a word to Bob about the curtain being pulled back and that he would be going to Indonesia, that it would be a small door, and he would have to push through three times and then return immediately. The door will rip wide open and God will give him that nation. He will have to find trusted souls like Elijah and blow on them until they’re flaming. There were many other words for Bob and Sharon, such as assignment, not opportunity. Teri speaks over them, and then Steve Broich. Different people spoke prophetic words to them. Bob and Sharon prayed and prophesied over Dwight Miller. Debbie and Pastor Dale spoke about the importance of ministry to children.
Prophetic Conference: Call for Intercession
Bob Hawk delivers a word about CWI being a preparing, equipping, and sending church. In a prophetic act, the congregation formed a wall against the enemy by joining arms. Gene Olon and Bob ministered to those who are being led into deeper intercession. Bob expounds on the need for intercession.
My People Are the Prophet Over Their Own Lives
Prov. 18:20, 21 tells us about the power of the tongue for life and death Release the Word of God into the atmosphere. Mark 11:12-23. How do we speak life? By putting the Word in your heart, saying it, believing it, and guarding your heart. In Rom. 4:9 we learn that Abraham called thing that didn’t exist as though they did. Heb. 11:3 the worlds were framed by the Word of God. Be persistent and don’t draw back. We have a voice of authority. Yield to God. Job 22:21-28. We live by God’s words. Get to know Him and put His words in your heart. Ask Him what needs to come out of your heart. God assumes you will do what you say. Allow God’s two-edged sword to separate the flesh. You can’t drag your past into your future. Bob shares some personal testimonies and speaks out declarations.
The Next Decade: What We Can Know About the Future
Offering message: Matt. 6:1, 4, 6, 16, 18. Jesus guarded us for our breakthrough. Jesus is our lawyer. The manifestation is like a curtain pulled back on miracles. Get rid of the “I don’t deserve it” mentality. Don’t look for scriptures to condemn yourself. Remember, God isn’t against you. You will fight for what belongs to you- I. E. healing. Why live in poverty when Jesus died for you? Sermon: God wants to reveal your future. What can we know about the future? 1) You win. You are blessed. You are victorious. II Cor. 2:4. 2) We are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. You are created for purpose. God has already been where you are going. II Tim. 1:9 God has called us before time began. 3) Is. 45:11 Decree where you are going. He tells us to ask Him of things to come and command Him concerning the work of His hands. The congregation made personal and family decrees and declarations, as well as Pastor Dale and Teri, Bob, and Gene. There was ministry to those who are “Jonahs”. Pastor Dale had a word for Gene Olon.
The Next Decade The Kingdom of God
Bruce Ladebu gave a word to Jon Fike. Bruce talked about his work with the children (slaves) in Pakistan. Say yes and go into the glory and life zone. The church must act and take back the enemy’s territory. Change the world. Have you rescued someone from hell? The word that Bruce received for the next decade: 1) It will be a time of multi-generational teamwork. 2) It will be a time of wonder and amazement of the manifest power of God. 3) Unlikely characters will be raised up to reach cultures that have resisted Jesus Christ. 4) Persecution will increase but so will the church’s authority through love, grace, and mercy. The kingdom of God is about power to prosper, to rise out of your problems and to be joyful. It’s uncomfortable to expand the kingdom. Obey God. The power of God is available to every one of us. Dan. 11:32 The people who know their God shall be strong and carry out great exploits. The church must become relevant. We need to change. The essentials of life in the natural have spiritual compatibilities: air (the Holy Spirit), water (baptism of change to His ways), food (the Word), shelter (covenant relationships), exercise (being a doer of the Word), and to excrete wastes (God’s refining fire). Are you willing to change? Give. Bruce ministers prophetically to several people in the congregation and then he, Bob and Sharon, Dale and Teri, and Gene Olon ministered to the people.
