Fellowship Hall

Little Johnnie was talking to his mother about the fact of his sister Joy was getting married and they were getting a white wedding dress. Well, you know!.... He asked her why the bride wore a white dress. His mother , a very wise lady replied, " it is the happiest day of her life. She is marrying the man she love, everything is so perfect and this just the joyous occasion." Little Johnnie thought for a minute and then asked His Mom, then why does the groom wear black? Well, do you know? John 14:6- Jesus said, " I am the way, the truth and the life; no man cometh to the Father, but by me. This what the Lord has laid on my heart. At our movie night, we watched, "The passion of The Christ." You may ask, what that has to do with Jesus being the way? John 3:16-18- that God so loved the world that he gave Jesus for our redemption. No man could do what Jesus did for us at Calvary. God didn't send Jesus to condemn us but pay the price( Hebrews 9:22- says without the shedding of blood there is no remission, and 10:12-says that (Jesus Christ), offered the eternal sacrifice that all men might have the option to be saves, and then sat down at the right hand of God.Jesus did so much more. He took 39 stripes for our healing. The Jewish custom is 40 stripes minus 1. 2 Corinthians 11:24 Paul states that he was beaten with 40 stripes minus 1, 5 times. There are 39 major categories of diseases. Interesting isn't it, one stripe for each category of disease, such as cancer or mental illness. When Jesus went up to heaven he left us a comforter, the Holy Ghost to do teach, guide and protect us. He, the Holy Spirit convicts us of sin but not condemn us. Why would anyone refuse to receive the very person Jesus sent to be our helper and source. Jesus said in John 22:20 to receive the Holy Ghost. And Matthew 3:11 states that John baptized unto repentance; but one mightier than he would baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire. Jesus was that one. The fire is not natural fire but spiritual, which cleanses from sin. Oh, why do so many refuse the very help they need to get them through and get them ready for our eternal home. We need an old fashioned, sin killing, devil chasing. miracle revival. Isaiah 28:11,12- says that this is the rest and this is the refreshing wherewith the weary gets rest. All get weary at times. Receive the gracious gift from the Lord. Open your heart and receive the fullness of God. He is waiting on you. I love you in the Lord and want to see you in Heaven. Sis. Gena Jesus is coming soon. Be ready
