PRAY: To understand well the Words of Jesus Christ in John's Gospel.

'Apostle Paul's Speech And Message.'

1 Corinthians 2:4.

a)  And my speech

b)  And my message

c)  Were not in plausible words of wisdom,

d)  But in demonstration of the Spirit and of power. 

(Through this Second one I understand more about the motives behind Apostle Paul's Speech And Message)

PRAY: For the Messages spoken in our Churches.

---

Chris. 

Please note that Apostle Paul "owned" the Messages that he wrote and spoke! If all ministers followed this example, I believe the spiritual life and Bible knowledge of the Churches would grow significantly. It was obvious that He really depended on the Holy Spirit's anointing and power to enable him to fulfil his ministry - a great lesson for us!

Apostle Paul's Real Sufferings.

'Apostle Paul's Real Sufferings.'

Romans 8:36.

a)  As it is written:

b)  "For Your sake we face death all day long;

(This QT reminds me of Apostle Paul's Real Sufferings and causes me to pray for suffering Believers today)

PRAY: For suffering Believers. 

---------------------------

'More Than Conquerors.'

Romans 8:37. 

a)  No,

b)  In all these things

c)  We are more than conquerors

d)  Through Him Who loved us. 

(Through this Second one I am grateful to God that we can be More Than Conquerors)

PRAY: To live a conqueror's life in Jesus Christ.

--------------------------

Chris.

As True Believers there are certain things and people that we have to say "no" to! I think that, most importantly, we need to say "no" to any and all forms of sin. Temptation can come in many forms and through different people. God will always give us the strength to say "no" - He is always Faithful.

A Place For Water Baptism!

 'A Place For Water Baptism.'

John 1:28.

a)  These things were done

b)  In Bethabara beyond the Jordan,

(This Second one reminds me that The Word Became Flesh)

PRAY: For a real understanding of Who Christ is.

------------------

Chris.

This a very wonderful Truth and Fact! The Word (Christ) became flesh and made His Dwelling among us. There are many different ideas that people have, but here is the Truth - Christ became flesh! The Bible is true and it is God's Truth! He came in such humility and yet He came from the Father, full of Grace and Truth. 

Actively Loving Jesus Is Important!

 'Actively Loving Jesus Is Important.'

John 15:23.

a)  He who hates Me

b)  Hates My Father

c)  Also.

(This QT reminds me that Actively Loving Jesus Is Important)

PRAY:  To actively love Jesus.

---------------

'Acknowledge The Son.'

1 John 2:23.

a)  Whoever denies the Son,

b)  The same does not have the Father:

c)  But he who acknowledges the Son

d)  Has the Father also.

(Through this Second one I know that it is important to Acknowledge The Son)

PRAY: To Acknowledge The Son Well.

---------------

Chris.

I encourage every True Believer, especially every New Believer, to read the Word of God well. If you are not sure which version is best to read, or which version your Church reads, then please ask one of the Church Leaders for advice concerning this. Reading the Word of God for ourselves really helps us to grow well spiritually. 

Inseparable!

'Inseparable.'

Romans 8:35. 

a)  Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? 

b)  Shall:

1-Tribulation. 

2-Distress.

3-Persecution.

4-Famine.

5-Nakedness.

6-Danger.

2 Corinthians 13:14.

a)  May the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,

b)  And the Love of God,

c)  And the Fellowship of the Holy Spirit

d)  Be with you all.

(Through this Second one I both find and share Words Of Blessing)

PRAY: to be a person who shares Words Of Blessing.

--------------

Chris.

A personal study of 2 Corinthians would be a very beneficial study for every True Believer. It is probably correct to say that, if we really love the Lord then we will also love His Word! The way in which way get the greatest exposure to the Lord and to Him speaking to us is through His Word. Personal study of the Bible is always helpful.

Christ Came After John!

'Christ Came After John.' 

John 1:27.

a)  He is the One

b)  Who comes after me,

c)  The straps of whose sandals

d)  I am not worthy to untie.

(This QT reminds me that Christ Came After John)

PRAY: To understand how amazingly wonderful Christ is!

-------------

'Immanuel.'

Matthew 1:23.

a)  "Behold,

b)  The virgin shall be with child,

c)  And bear a Son,

d)  And they shall call His Name Immanuel,"

e)  Which is translated: "God With Us."

(This Second one reminds me of Christ - Immanuel)

PRAY: To know Immanuel in a real way.

-------------

Chris.

From His Birth right through until His Ascension, the Life of Christ is like an ongoing miracle. Faith, we are told, comes as we receive the Word of God for ourselves. Wherever we turn to in the Word of God we can find Words that Teach us, Inspire us, and make us holy! Let us frequently and regularly receive God's Word for ourselves!

No More Excuse!

 'No More Excuse.'

John 15:22.

a)  If I had not come and spoken to them,

a)  Come to Me

b)  All you who are weary and burdened,

c)  And I will give you rest.

d)  Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me,

e)  For I am gentle and humble in heart,

f)  And you will find rest for your souls.

(Through this Second one I know that we can Receive Rest From The Lord)

PRAY: Coming to the Lord.

-----------

Chris.

The invitation from the Lord to us is simple and clear! He says: "Come to Me". This should be the first step and major focus of our Prayer Life, coming to the Lord. We first come as His guest, not demanding or assuming anything, but in simple humility. He remains both gentle and humble in heart. When we find this rest for our souls, then we can pray effectively. 

Christ Makes Intercession For Us!

 'Christ Makes Intercession For Us.'

Romans 8:34.

Romans 16:20.

a)  And the God of Peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly.

b)  The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ 

c)  Be with you.

(This Second one is a Blessing of Victory)

PRAY: For Peace, Victory And Grace to be a part of our daily lives.

---------

Chris.

Peace, Victory and Grace are all amazing Gifts from the amazing Grace of our Lord! These are things that He really desires for us. The World system would try to rob us and prevent us from receiving them but God is Faithful, and every True Believer can enjoy Peace, Victory and Grace. We should come to God in Prayer, then we can experience His Peace, Victory and Grace.

Do We Know Him?

 'Do We Know Him?'

John 1:26.

a)  "I baptize with water,"

b)  John replied,

c)  "But among you stands One

d)  "You do not know."

(This QT gives me the question: Do We Know Him?)

--------

'Making Disciples.'

Matthew 28:19-20.

a)  "Go therefore and make Disciples of all the Nations,

b)  "Baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit,

c)  "Teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you;

d)  "And lo,

e)  "I am with you always,

f)  "Even to the end of the age.

(This Second one reminds me of the importance of Making Disciples)

PRAY:  To read and wisely apply Matthew 28:19-20 to our lives. 

--------

Chris.

Here is a Disciple making basic for every Church, Mission and Ministry: We should Teach them to observe all that the Lord commands us. If we follow this pattern as Churches, Missions and Ministries then we shall not fail. The problems come in when we begin to teach other things! 

Because They Do Not Know The One Who Sent Me!

 'Because They Do Not Know The One Who Sent Me.'

John 15:21.

a)  But they will do all these things to you

b)  On account of My Name,

c)  Because they do not know the One Who sent Me.

(This QT shows me what happened Because They Do Not Know The One Who Sent Me)

PRAY: To know Father God through His Son Jesus Christ.

-------

'Sleep Can Distort The Reality.'

Luke 9:32. 

a)  But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep:

b)  And when they were awake,

c)  They saw His Glory,

d)  And the two men who stood with Him.

(Through this Second one I know that Sleep Can Distort The Reality)

PRAY: To be alert in our waking hours. 

-------

Chris.

Luke's Gospel clearly reveals to us what Jesus and His Disciples were doing. There is a great lesson for the modern Church here. It was not, in the Gospels, merely what Jesus and His Disciples were saying. What is recorded for us is what they did and said. Modern Disciples of Jesus Christ can really learn from the Gospels!

It Is God That Justifies!

'It Is God That Justifies.'

Romans 8:33.

a)  Who shall bring a charge

b)  Against God's elect?

c)  It is God

d)  Who justifies.

(This QT teaches me that God That Justifies) 

PRAY: To live a life that is pleasing to God.

------

'In View Of God's Mercy.'

Romans 12:1.

a)  Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters,

b)  In view of God's Mercy,

d)  Holy and pleasing to God - 

e)  This is your true and proper Worship.

(This Second one is about living In View Of God's Mercy)

PRAY:  In view of God's Mercy.

------

Chris.

The True Believer lives In View Of God's Mercy. This means continual and real response to God in their daily life. When we are in view of something, it mean we can see it and act accordingly. Our response to God here should be the offering to God of our body as a living sacrifice. 

Pharisees Always Question And Doubt!

 ‘Pharisees Always Question And Doubt.’

John 1:24-25.

a)  Now those who were sent were from the Pharisees.

b)  And they asked Him saying:

c)  “Why then do you baptise if you are not the Christ?

d)  “Nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?”

(This QT reminds me that Pharisees Always Question And Doubt)

PRAY: Not to habitually Question And Doubt.

- - - - -

‘They Asked.’

a)  Genesis 21:29. Abimelech.

b)  Genesis 32:29.  Jacob.

c)  Exodus 12:35: Judges 1:1. The Children of Israel.

d)  1 Samuel 14:37. Saul.

e)  1 Samuel 20:28: 2 Samuel 11:7. David.

f)  1 Kings 3:10-11. Solomon.

g)  Daniel 2:16. Daniel.

h)  Matthew 22:41. Luke 9:18. Jesus.

i)  Luke 3:14. The soldiers.

j)  Luke 18:36. The blind man.

(Through this Second one I find that asking questions is acceptable)

PRAY: Asking Jesus.

——-

Chris.

Never be afraid to ask questions if we need to! This is something that should be taught in schools by the mature teacher. Whatever kind of school it is, there should always be a place for student’s questions! A major part of students’ learning is achieved by asking questions! As adults, we may also want to ask questions. This may help both us and others too!

Things To Remember!

'Things To Remember.'

John 15:20.

a)  "Remember what I told you:

b)  "A servant is not greater than his master."

c)  "If they persecuted Me, 

d)  "They will persecute you also.

e)  "If they obeyed My Teaching,

f)  "They will obey yours also."

(This QT teaches me some Things To Remember)

PRAY: To read the Bible with good understanding. 

----

'Beth Aven.'

('The House of Nothingness.')

Joshua 7:2. 

a)  Now Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai,

b)  Which is near Beth Aven, to the east of Bethel,

c)  And told them:

d)  "Go up, and spy out the region."

e)  So them men went up and spied out Ai. 

(This Second one calls me to Pray for the Churches not to be Beth Aven)

PRAY: For our local Church not to be a Beth Aven.

----

Chris.

They are nearby to each other, Beth Aven and Bethel! Bethel is the House of God and Beth Aven is the House of nothingness. May our Churches truly be "Bethel" Churches - Houses of God! If God's Servants are sent out from Bethel, they will surely produce good fruit and be able to raise up many new Believers and Churches!

It Is All Because Of Jesus Christ!

 'It Is All Because Of Jesus Christ.'

Romans 8:32.

a)  He Who did not spare His Own Son,

b)  But delivered Him up for us all,

c)  How shell He not with Him

d)  Also freely give us all things?

(This QT teaches me that It Is All Because Of Jesus Christ)

PRAY: Thank God for His Son - Jesus Christ.

---

'Truly Jesus Christ Took Our Place.'

2 Corinthians 5:21.

a)  For He hath made Him

b)  To be sin for us,

c)  Who knew no sin,

d)  That we might be made 

e)  The righteousness  of God in Him.

(Through this Second One I know that Truly Jesus Christ Took My Place)

PRAY: Thanking Jesus Christ for going to the Cross for us.

---

Chris.

It all comes from our Father God and what He has done for us! This is one of the reasons that we are exhorted to give thanks to Him! He is the One Who sent His Own Son to be our Saviour! Let us be grateful and give our thanks and Praises to Him. Our personal relationship with God is the "key" to all of our Christian Life and Ministry!

Get The Road Ready!

'Get The Road Ready.'

John 1:23.

a)  John answered in the Words of the Prophet Isaiah:

b)  "I am only someone shouting in the desert, 

c)  "Get the road ready for the Lord."

(This QT encourages me to Get The Road Ready)

PRAY: To be able to do the Will of God - just as  John did!

-------------------------

'Preparing The Way.'

John 3:28. 

a)  "You yourselves know how plainly I told you: 'I am not the Messiah.

b)  " 'I am only here 

c)  " 'To prepare the Way for Him."

(This Second one reminds me that there is a Ministry of Preparing The Way)

PRAY: To be sensitive to the Lord in our Ministries.

-------------------------

Chris. 

The Gospel of John is the first book that any aspiring Gospel Preacher should read. Of course, eventually the entire Bible should be read but the Gospel is presented clearly through the Book of John. The Gospel Preacher needs to have a clear intention to present the Gospel with clarity to the non-believer, preparing the Way for the Lord's Work and Will. 

No Longer A Part Of The World System!

'No Longer A Part Of The World System.'

John 15:19.

a)  The world would love you as one of its own

b)  If you belonged to it,

c)  But you are no longer part of the World.

d)  I chose you to come out of the World,

e)  So it hates you.

(This QT affirms to me that I am No Longer A Part Of The World System)

PRAY: To stop living in a World System way.

-----------------------

'Times When Discretion Is Needed.'

Matthew 16:20.

a)  Then Jesus commanded His Disciples

b)  That they should tell no one

c)  That He was Jesus the Christ. 

(Through this Second one I know that there are Times When Discretion Is Needed)

PRAY: To be Discreet when Discretion is needed.

-----------------------

Chris.

Here, again, is an amazing verse from Matthew's Gospel! One would have thought that Jesus would want everyone to know that He was the Christ. However Jesus commanded His Disciples to tell no one! As noted above, when we share the Gospel, we need to be sensitive to the people around us and their needs!

If God Is For Us!

 'If God Is For Us!'

Romans 8:31. 

a)  What then shall we say to these things?

b)  If God is for us,

c)  Who can be against us?

(This QT calls me to ask the question: If God is for us?)

PRAY: To have confidence in God.

--------------------

'We Are Not To Put God To The Test.'

Matthew 4:7. 

a)  Jesus said to him:

b)  "Again it is written:

c)  " 'You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.' "

(This Second one reminds me that We Are Not To Put God To The Test)

PRAY: Not to put God to the test.

---------------------

Chris.

We are still in Matthew's Gospel which has clear instructions for us! As we read this part today, we need to have a vehement desire not to put God to the test. Application of the Gospels to our lives is something every True Believer needs to endeavor to do! Let us take the Word of God and apply it to our lives where that is meant to be.

John's Reply To "Who Are You?"

 

''Who Are You?"

John 1:22.

a)  "Then who are you?

b)  "We need an answer for those who sent us.

c)  "What do you have to say about yourself?"

(Here is a common question in the Churches today: Who Are You?)

PRAY: For honesty and openness in the Churches today.

-----------------

'Learn And Report.'

Proverbs 22:21. 

a)  In order to teach you 

b)  True and reliable words.

c)  So that you may give a dependable report

d)  To those who sent you.

(This Second one teaches us to Learn And Report)

PRAY: To Learn And Report Well.

----------------

Chris. 

We need to pray for and practice Good Teaching. Good Teaching partially consists of true and reliable words. The Church that has Good Teaching will be at a high level of Faith. So please Pray for those who Teach God's Word in our Churches. The Church that is equipped in God's Word will have an effective testimony!

Hated By The World System!

 'Hated By The World System.'

John 15:18.

a)  "If the World hates you,

b)  "Know that it has hated Me

c)  "Before it hated you."

(This QT reminds me that sometimes True Believers are Hated By The World System)

PRAY: For people under the World System to be Saved.

--------------

'For The Poor (Humble) In Spirit.'

Matthew 5:3. 

a)  "Blessed are the poor in spirit,

b)  "For theirs

c)  "Is the Kingdom of Heaven."

(This Second one reveals the Blessing For The Poor In Spirit)

PRAY: To be Poor In Spirit.

--------------

Chris.

Here, in Matthew's Gospel, we read the Words of Christ about those people who are Poor In Spirit. The first thing that He mentions is about their Blessing. It is a Blessed Life to live if we live as one who is Poor in Spirit! The Second thing that He mentions is about the sure Promise of the Kingdom of Heaven.

From Predestination To Glorification!

 'From Predestination To Glorification.'

Romans 8:30.

a)  Moreover whom He predestined,

b)  These He also called;

c)  Whom He called,

d)  These He also Justified;

e)  And whom He Justified,

f)  These He also Glorified.

(This QT teaches me From Predestination To Glorification)

PRAY: To respond well to God's Calling.

-------------

'Conformed To The Image Of God's Son.'

Romans 8:29.

a)  For whom He foreknew,

b)  He also predestined to be conformed to the Image of His Son,

c)  That He might be the Firstborn

d)  Among many brethren.

(Through this Second one I desire to be Confirmed To The Image Of God's Son)

PRAY: To be Conformed To The Image Of God's Son.

-------------

Chris. 

Foreknowledge is one of the unique attributes of God. I do totally trust God in this area of my life even though I do not know all that I could know yet! God also fully knows the Plans and Purposes that He has for our lives, even before we were born! One thing that I am sure of though, is that God has predestined His children to be conformed to the Image of His Son!

Who John Baptist Was Not!

'Who John Baptist Was Not.'

John 1:21. 

a)  And they asked him,

b)  "What then, are you Elijah?"

c)  He said:  "I am not."

d) " Are you the Prophet?"

e)  And he answered: "No."

(This QT tells me Who John Baptist Was Not)

PRAY: To understand the Scriptures well.

------------

'The Power Of The Offer Of Peace.'

Deuteronomy 20:11.

a)  And it shall be that if they accept your offer of peace,

b)  And open to you,

c)  Then all the people who are found in it

d)  Shall be placed under tribute to you,

e)  And serve you. 

(This Second one teaches me The Power Of The Offer Of Peace)

PRAY: To make an offer of peace wherever it is possible and practical.

------------

Chris.

Peace comes first, then openness. It is extremely difficult to be open to other people when there is no environment of Peace. It can be possible to have Peace if there is a genuine desire for it. Peace and reconciliation can take place because Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace. Let us seek after Peace and pursue it!

Obedience Leads To Love!

'Obedience Leads To Love.'

John 15:17. 

a)  These things I command you,

b)  So that

c)  You will love one another. 

(This QT reminds me that Obedience Leads To Love)

PRAY: To obey the Lord and to love other Believers.

-----------

'Wait.'

Numbers 9:8. 

a)  And Moses said to them:

b)  "Wait,

c)  "That I may hear 

d)  "What the Lord will command concerning you." 

(This Second one reminds me that sometimes it is good to Wait, and listen to what the Lord says)

PRAY: For Patience to Wait when we need to wait.

-----------

Chris.

We need to be able to listen well to our Leaders, or those people who may have some spiritual responsibility for us. Confidence in our God-appointed Leaders is important for them and for us. The Body of Christ functions well when there is confidence within! Prayer for our Leaders will surely help both them and us. We also need to give our Leaders time to "wait on God". In this busy world system we should not expect our Leaders to follow its pattern. 

Honesty And Humility!

'Honesty And Humility.'

John 1:20.

a)  john did not fail to confess,

b)  But confessed freely,

c)  "I am not the Messiah."

(This QT reveals John's Honesty And Humility)

PRAY: To be both honest and humble.

---------

'God Knew.'

Micah 5:2.

a)  But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,

b)  Though you are small among the clans of Judah,

c)  Out of you will come for Me

d)  One Who will be Ruler over Israel,

e)  Whose origins are from old,

f)  From ancient times. 

(This Second one shows me that God Knew)

PRAY: To trust in God - because He Knows. 

---------

Chris.

God seems to 'specialize' in calling people out. We read of this kind of calling right through the Scriptures.  When He calls people out, it is always for His Glory and His Purposes. We should always be sensitive to the various "callings" of God upon our lives! We are called by the King of Kings and Lord of Lords!

 

Testimony Is A Good Answer!

 ‘Testimony Is A Good Answer.’

John 1:19.

a) And this is the testimony of John,

b) When the Jews sent priests and Levites 

c) From Jerusalem to ask him,

d) “Who are you?”

(This QT reveals that Testimony Is A Good Answer)

PRAY: To have a good Testimony that glorifies Christ.

————

‘See And Tell The Truth.’

John 19:35.

a) He who saw it has borne witness - 

b) His Testimony is true,

c) And he knows that he is telling the Truth -

d) That you also may believe.

(This Second one encourages me to See And Tell The Truth)

PRAY: To always be Telling The Truth.

————

Chris.

To tell the Truth as a Witness of Jesus Christ is very important. There is absolutely no need to exaggerate! To try to impress other people by telling them exaggerations is never a good thing to do. Simply tell the  Truth - it is up to the other people whether they receive it or not!

Chosen By The Lord!

 'Chosen By The Lord.'

John 15:16. 

a)  You did not choose Me,

b)  But I chose you

c)  And appointed you to go and bear fruit, (the fruit of hospitality, as seen in the picture, is very precious.)

d)  Fruit that remains,

e)  So that whatever you ask the Father in My Name

f) He will give you.

(This QT reminds me that we are Chosen By The Lord to be fruitful)

PRAY: To be a fruitful follower of Jesus Christ.

-------

'Apostles Are Named By The Lord.'

Luke 6:13.

a)  And when day came,

b)  He called His Disciples

c)  And chose from them twelve,

d)  Whom He named Apostles.

(Through this Second one I clearly see that Apostles Are Named By The Lord)

PRAY: For our Churches to welcome true Apostolic Ministry.

-------

Chris.

It seems that the "foundation" of Jesus' Ministry was imparted to the Disciples before it was given to the Church as a whole. Probably the same happens today. There is the "private ministry" of Jesus to the Disciples in the Churches before the public manifestation of that Ministry. There are many patterns that the modern day Churches should learn from the early Church.

It Is Very Clear!

 

'It Is Very Clear.'

John 1:18.

a)  No one has seen God at any time. 

b)  The only begotten Son,

c)  Who is in the bosom of the Father,

d)  He has declared Him. 

(This QT reminds me that It Is Very Clear, no one has seen God at any time)

PRAY: To understand the clarity of the Bible and to reject mythical heresies.

------

'Glorify God With Your Body.'

1 Corinthians 6:19-20.

a)  Don't you know that your body is a Temple of the Holy Spirit

b)  Who is in you,

c)  Whom you have from God?

d)  You are not your own, for you were bought at a price.

e)  So Glorify God with your body.

(This Second one reminds me to Glorify God With My Body)

PRAY: To Glorify God with your body.

------

Chris.

Here is a very clear reminder from Apostle Paul to the Corinthian Church and from God's Word to us... We are to Glorify God with our body. We should do this because our body is a Temple of the Holy Spirit. We also do this because we are not our own, we are bought at a price (the Precious Blood of Christ)! Think about... how can we glorify God with our body?

Apostle Paul's Call To Titus!

'Apostle Paul's Call To Titus.

Titus 3:12.

a)  When I send Artemas

b)  Or perhaps Tychicus to you,

c)  Make every effort to come to me at Nicopolis,

d)  For I have decided to spend the winter there. 

(This QT reveals Apostle Paul's Call To Titus)

PRAY: To respond well to God's Will.

-----

'God's Grace.'

Ephesians 1:8.

a)  God's Grace... 

b)  Which He lavished upon us,

c)  In all Wisdom and Insight. 

(This Second one makes me grateful for God's Grace)

PRAY: Giving thanks to God for His Grace.

-----

Chris.

Everything that we are and have in God comes from His Grace. We should be frequently giving thanks to God for His Grace and not be taking it for granted! God's Grace is abundant and He is always ready to share His Grace with us in some form or another! We exist because of the Grace of God and that is an Eternal Blessing

 

Not Servants But Friends!

'Not Servants But Friends.'

John 15:15.

a)  I do not call you servants anymore,

b)  Because a servant does not know what his master is doing.

c)  But I have called you friends

d)  Because I have made known to you everything

e)  That I have heard from My Father.

(This QT makes me realise the True Believer's identity: Not Servants But Friends)

PRAY: To live as a good friend of Jesus Christ.

'They Were Bewildered  ... Why?'

Acts 2:6. 

a)  And at this sound

b)  The multitude came together,

c)  And they were bewildered,

d)  Because each one

e)  Was hearing them speak in his own language. 

(This Second one answers the question: They Were Bewildered - Why?)

PRAY:  To be filled with the Holy Spirit and not to be bewildered.

Chris.

It must have been a bewildering and yet glorious sound when the Disciples here were filled with the Holy Spirit. I pray that our Churches will be filled with the Holy Spirit and fulfill the Plan and Purpose of God for each Church. We should not compare ourselves with others, but, rather, seek God.
