Our God is always with us. Heb 13:5 "Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." Seek God, His blessings are new every morning. Lam 3:22-23 "It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is Thy faithfulness." HE IS HERE: by Kirk Talley "He is here, Hallelujah! He is here, Amen! He is here, Holy, Holy I will bless His name again He is here, Listen closely Hear Him calling out your name He is here, you can touch Him You will never be the same."

The Formans blessed us with their anointed singing. They have blessed our church many years with their talent, but most of all, their love for the Lord! Isa 51:11 "Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away."

Mark 16:17-18 "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." We don't seek signs, the signs follow. Sometimes the signs are there but we ignore them. Sometimes we believe the signs, but make exceptions. Some signs come when we want them, but if no sign, what do we do? Mark 9:23 "Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth." But really it is all about believing that our Lord will do what He says He will do. Believe that what we do is to have the signs we display show Jesus and only Jesus. People see the signs following you. We want our signs to point to our Lord,

Exo 3:1-5 "Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb. And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I." And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground." Act 2:1-4 "And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance." Rev 10:1 "And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon His head, and His face was as it were the sun, and His feet as pillars of fire:"

Rev 3:5 "He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels." John 6:27 "Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed." Titus 1:2, Rev. 1:8, Rev. 22:13, Gen. 1:1, Rev. 4:11, Phil 1:6, 10, 20-21, Jude 20-21, Ps 71:5, John 3:16, Rev 21:1-27

Rev. Bert Knapp admonished to stop striving for who you are when God has already identified you. He has made you who you are. Stop striving to be what God has already made you to be. Walk in the Spirit and just be! Be like Jesus, live the best life God has for you. The Word of God is life, so Rev. Knapp shared an abundance of scriptures! Praise God! Hebrews 4:13, John 15:4-17, Matthew 5:14-16

Hebres 10:24-25 "And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching." Psa 122:1 A Song of degrees of David. "I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD." This is where we worship our Lord in spirit and in truth. It is a time of refreshing, and a time to praise our Lord singing hymns and reading His word. Our service is a time to lift one another up and have holy fellowship. Let us come into His presence with thanksgiving in our hearts.

1Thessalonians 4:16-17 "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord." Luke 21:27-28 "And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh." Jhn 14:2-6 "In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

1 John 2:15-16 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. Mat 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. Gen 3:13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. Gal 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. Gal 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

Isaiah 55:8 says, "For My thoughts are not your thoughts neither are your ways My ways, saith the Lord." The word "way" does not just mean a direction as in a road or means of travel. It also is a method, a style, or manner of doing something. It means an entry or exit from something. It means a particular aspect of something. Jeremiah 6:16 "Thus saith the LORD, stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, we will not walk therein." What does it really mean to walk in His ways? Believers are encouraged to "walk in His ways". It means aligning daily living, our morals, and our behavior with God's commandments. It is a lifestyle defined by faith, love, humility, and obedience. The Holy Spirit within us is our help.
