Tardy but Thankful

It has been several days since I have made a post on this blog. I have been in North Carolina sharing the Word of God at The Roc in Rockingham. Pastors Steve and Vonnie Gilmer serve this wonderful community of believers who have a heart to reach their community with the life changing message of the Gospel. We were able to witness the effects of the Gospel message each evening in the services. The Worship Team led us into the presence of God from the very outset of the service and the Spirit continued to pour His presence into our spirits as the Word of God was shared. We were able to witness the purpose of the altar call in these meetings. The altar invitation time serves as an opportunity for each of us to have our lives altered through the combined efforts of the Word and Spirit. We can rejoice in the fact that God is still at work in the hearts of those people who willingly surrender their lives to His direction. I am thankful that I have not stopped believing in the power of the Word and the power of the Spirit to change, transform, forgive, deliver and heal us of any strategy that the enemy uses against us. I have seen God at work in the lives of people for over 41 years and I will continue to stand on the promises of God. Do not be dismayed or discouraged through the attempts of satan to overthrow and defeat your faith. God has given each believer the power and authority as a son/daughter in His family to defeat the powers of the enemy through the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord. Trust in His presence today and rely on His Grace to direct your steps.
