Standing on the promises of Christ my King

Glory in the Highest I will shout and sing
STANDING ON THE PROMISES OF GOD!!

H.A.L.T.
Key Scripture: Matthew 24:43 Homeowners never know when a thief is coming, and they are always on guard to keep one from breaking in.
DANGER POINTS!
Here are 3 danger points at which the enemy will attack you: (1) Weariness. Old Testament times the “birthright” meant you inherited twice as much of your father’s estate. Normally Esau wouldn’t have considered selling his birthright, but he did in a state of exhaustion. Weariness can cause you to lose perspective and make decisions based on what’s convenient, rather than what’s good for you in the long term. Remember the H.A.L.T. sign: when you’re Hungry, Angry, Lonely or Tired you’re vulnerable, and you’ll make bad decisions. (2) Excitement. King Herod was seduced by a dancing girl, threw caution to the wind and said, “Whatever you ask me, I will give you (Mark 6:23). She asked for the head of John the Baptist. And since he was king, Herod couldn’t go back on his word. That moment of indulgence cost Herod his kingdom and his life. Be careful where you go looking for excitement, and how you react when you find it. It can cost you the game! (3) Discouragement. In a moment of discouragement Peter did what he swore he’d never do: deny his Lord. Discouragement can make you say things you don’t mean and do things that are out of character. Jude writes, “Carefully build yourselves up in this most holy faith by praying in the Holy Spirit, staying right at the center of God’s love (Jude 20). Esau’s weariness, Herod’s excitement, and Peter’s discouragement are what Jesus had in mind when He said, “If the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched.”

I just LOVE to have Church
What do you expect when you walk into church?
Acts 2: 1-4 says. "When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues[a] as the Spirit enabled them."
On Monday, April 28, 2008 at 4:10 p.m. I stood outside of the post office in the Driver Section of Suffolk and heard the sound of a rushing mighty wind. I had no idea it was a tornado about 100 ft away. Listening to this You Tube clip the sound is very similar to the sound of that wind.
My pastor has reminded us that Sunday, May 11, 2008 is Pentecost Sunday as well as Mother's Day. Give God the praise in your own way!!!!!!!!!
