If you can…
¨ Always be cheerful, ignoring your own pains
¨ Resist complaining about your troubles
¨ Eat the same food every day and be grateful
¨ Understand why people are too busy for you sometimes
¨ Overlook offenses committed against you
¨ Take criticism and blame without resentment
¨ Treat the rich and poor the same
¨ Face the world without lies and deceit
...then you are almost as good as your dog…
They say that a dog is a man’s best friend. Why? It’s because a dog’s love for his master never fails.
“Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away…”
Corinthians 13:8 |

But John intervened: "I'm baptizing you here in the river. The main character in this drama, to whom I'm a mere stagehand, will ignite the kingdom life, a fire, the Holy Spirit within you, changing you from the inside out. He's going to clean house—make a clean sweep of your lives. He'll place everything true in its proper place before God; everything false He'll put out with the trash to be burned."
John 3:16-17 (The Message Bible)
Recently at church we have been seeing the fire of God hit our services and you may be wondering what it’s all about. Well, the Word of God says that fire is sent to cleanse and burn away all that is not of Him. We have heard from the Lord that His fire is taking away all the sin & is refreshing our spirit. We need to be clean and ready for whatever the Lord has for us, whether it be to tell someone about Jesus, lay hands on them for healing, or pray with them. The fire of God is good, so when the anointing is flowing jump in and get refreshed |

The Takeover Starts Here! |
|
As many of you know the theme for Invasion this year is “The Takeover”. Whether you go to Invasion or not you need to realize that a change is needed in this world and do you know where it needs to start? With you. You need to decide whether you are going to keep the same lifestyle you kept over the last year or if you are going to let Jesus takeover your life. Now is the time to get rid of all the things that are holding you back from going all the way for Jesus. It could be as easy as adding more prayer and Bible time to your day or as hard as telling a friend that you can’t go to that party with them. You may need to get rid of some music or movies that are full of death, destruction and inappropriate scenes and language or you may need to work on treating people with love, patience & kindness. The list could go on but it is time to start the takeover, and it begins with you!
“God, make a fresh start in me, shape a Genesis week from the chaos of my life.” Psalm 51:10
