Weekend Services

Yesterday was a wonderful day at the Harvest Church of God in Louisville, KY. The presence of God was very near in each of the services. Pastor Wheat and the congregation welcomed us back to the church with open arms of fellowship and encouragement. The flow of the love of God was very evident in each of the services as people responded to the call from God to offer praise, adoration, worship, and thanksgiving to the Lord God Almighty. It is still such an honor to be able to attend church services in which the freedom of the Spirit is present and in which people respond to that freedom in exalting the name of Christ. There were several people who received Christ as their Savior in the morning service as well as many others who brought their needs before God in prayer. Last night we witnessed the same response as people realized that God was not against them but that God is fighting for them. God is at work in our lives and through His presence He is leading us to victory. Will you and I be obedient to the Spirit and allow Him to lead us in the appropriate direction or will we continue to choose to walk our own path under our own strength? Is not the world full of examples of people who are choosing to follow their own ways rather than the Way, Truth, and Life which is Christ. People are looking for answers yet they are looking in all of the wrong places. Wrong places will produce wrong answers. Wrong answers will take you down the wrong road. The wrong road will lead to destruction. Destruction will lead to eternal separation from God. This is the day to make the right choice and follow God's way and allow Him to lead us into eternal life. Take a moment today and examine the choices that you are making; are your choices taking you away from God or they taking you toward God?
