God Said

And God said, Let us make man in Our Image, after Our Likeness: So God created man in His Own Image, in the Image of God created He him; male and female created He them.  And God blessed them …  Gen 1:26-28

From The Pastor’s Study: I’m sure some time as you have been witnessing to an individual, they have said, “I love God!” or “Yes, I believe in God!” Today we want to renew some things that God has said which are very powerful to the life we have today. If one believes in God, then do they know what God has said? For the Word of God houses His Miracle working power in the earth. So lest we forget, let us renew our thoughts concerning God and some of the things that He has said. While these “sayings” were said many years ago, I read in Scripture … Everything that God has said, it is written for our learning.  Rom. 15 clarifies this as we read VS4 “For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have Hope.” The proverbs continues to speak about the “learning process” -- Prov 1:5 “A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:”  Prov 9:9-10 “Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the Holy is understanding.” In this Message today we will be reminded of some things that God has said: … In the beginning of all things, the Spirit of God moved upon earth and God began to speak. His first statement was “Let there be light:” So began our night and day. Can we even imagine how it was in that moment of time? There was no form until the Spirit of God moved upon the earth and God spoke forth the Light. We know it was the visible light, but could it have been the introduction of Christ, for we read “He is the Light of the world!” When one says they believe in God, what do they know about Him? Do they know what is in His heart toward humanity? When God spoke to Noah, it is evident that He was moved by the violence and cleared off the earth save Noah & family. O Church we need to “Hear” what the Spirit is saying to the Church today … Jesus cries out in the Revelation several times: “He that hath an ear let him hear!” May we hear afresh some of the Messages God has spoken and realize they are as powerful today as they were the day He said them.  Always loving you, Pastor
