Jesus Must Be the Center

Hello everyone. Praise the Lord!

Here is a wonderful message that I read from another source, and I would love to share it here.

In any true and pure move of the Holy Ghost, Jesus will always be THE CENTER.  

Healing cannot become the message. 

Deliverance cannot become the message. 

Prosperity cannot become the message.  

Tongues cannot become the message. 

Spiritual warfare cannot become the message. 

Signs, miracles, and wonders cannot be the message.  

THE MESSAGE MUST REMAIN CENTERED AND FOCUSED UPON JESUS. 

He is the foundation. 

He is the absolute TRUTH. 

He is the measure of all things. 

When it becomes about deliverance, prosperity, prophecy, and theology, though wonderful, we begin to WANDER.

Divinely Healed

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

This is a story as reported by William J. Seymour and his book called, "The Azusa Street Papers," published in 1906.

Brother J. A. Warren of Houston, Texas, relates his experience as follows: "I had suffered two years from chills and fever and could never get rid of them. I was down with them, when it was told to me that the Lord would heal us and wanted to do it without the help of medicine, so I made up my mind that I would not have another chill; that the Lord would heal me. My chill was to come on about seven o'clock in the morning. It started to come and I was about to call my people to put more cover over me, when I thought how I had taken the Lord for my healer. So I got up and dressed and would not let the devil bring a chill on me, but prepared for breakfast. When the ice wagon came along and my little grandchild called my attention to it, I started to say, "No, I will not take ice for this is my chill day." (I was in the habit of taking ice only on the day I had fever). Then I stopped myself and said, "Yes, I will take ice," And I drank ice water all day. I was healed and in two months had gained about twenty-five pounds in flesh."

No Bottom

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

This is a true story told by William J. Seymour in his book, "The Azusa Street Papers," in 1906.

We meet many honest souls these days who are under the delusion that they have committed the unpardonable sin.  The following incident should be an encouragement to such.

A child of God was attacked by the enemy with the suggestion that she was forsaken of God and had committed the unpardonable sin.  She was then on a mission field in the South, separated from other Christian workers; And without any apparent cause, The archenemy that tempted our Savior told her that God hated her.  The words, "God hated you" seem to be continually shouted in her ears and she cannot get away from it.  She lost her faith and believed the enemy, not knowing his power.  The next suggestion was, "drown yourself in the river." She stood looking into the dark water, but the thought of her dear mother made her turn away.

She returned to her room, and throwing herself down, fell asleep and dreamed.  She seemed to be on a boat on which all the people but herself were rejoicing and praising God.  She heard the Captain call out to the pilot, "sound the depths and compare it with the love of God." The depths were sounded in the call came back "No bottom! No bottom!" She awoke in the ocean of God's love, All darkness past in the cry bringing in her ears, "No bottom!" For your sense then she has been in Gospel work on both sides of the ocean.
