The Potter

man planting seedsThe Potter is one who chooses the clay (dirt). The one to decide what pot to use, whether it’s large or small, decorated or plain. One who presses in dirt the seed of his choice.

The Potter is obligated to tend to the plant. It is his delight to see growth. The seed (My children, My church) will grow into a healthy and strong plant. Whether it’s for shade or to grow food to nourish others is the potter’s choice.

But more than a plant whose span of life is but for a season, My children will live with Me forever. The plans I have for you are more glorious than even your imagination. As sunshine and rain are cycles necessary to grow any plant, let My children have hope and strength for all their days ahead.

Know that as with every devoted gardener, I will never leave you. I will feed, tend, and protect for you are more precious than you can know. Trust Me and the storms of life will only make you stronger.

I love you.

We can make a difference. Be a light in the darkness.

There’s a lost and dying world around us. Are we being the light they need to find their way to Jesus?

In looking at Luke 12:18-21 and Zephaniah 1:9-12, Pastor Bill discusses the choice we have to either let complacency and apathy kill us or choose God and seek after Him.

Hunger and Thirst

Trust Me to provide all you need and to feed you, not with food that will not satisfy, but with a banquet table. For I long to give to My children to provide all you need. Seek provision and food from Me, not of this world.

Open My Word and find nourishment for your soul. Be filled and satisfied from the meat of the Word.

Babies grow on milk, but My children need the strong nutrition of the meat of My Word. It will strengthen and grow you up. It will satisfy the hunger in you.

Don’t look to the world to fill an empty stomach, for you will hunger again and again. Most will run to the store to purchase food to satisfy their hunger, but in time they will hunger again. My Word will never leave you. It will strengthen, nourish, and grow faith in you. Isn’t that what you want growing up in you?

Come and eat. Soak in My Word. And watch your life change.

If You’re Comfortable, You’re in Trouble

If you accept part of the truth, you are accepting a lie. Truth must be kept whole.

Pastor Gray takes a compelling look knowing “exact truth” as stated in Luke 1:4 and at apathy in the church today.

Come to Me

sundial, come today is the day of salvationCome to Me.

Why would you ever hesitate or withdraw? Why would you believe the lie that this doesn’t mean you?

Come still means it’s your choice. Come still means there is time. Don’t wait for tomorrow; only today is promised to you. Embrace it now. Build up your faith. Be where the Word is preached so the lies of the enemy can never take root in you.

Oh, if only My children could know all the wonders that await them. That’s why I bid “come.” Now is the time for salvation, the time to declare and live a life of faith.

“Come,” I have much to show and tell you. Open the Word before you and come into My presence.

 

If My People Will… 10-7-2018

Pastor Larry Gray discusses taking God’s Word at face value with a look at 2 Chronicles 7:12-14 and applying it to today’s Christians.

The church has allowed humanism and secularism to enter into the church and call it normal. We can bring about change in the Church and in the world through prayer.

The Power of Music

violinMusic is the alignment to your soul. It places you where I can speak and move.

Be ready to participate in a more powerful way, and to receive as never before.

Thus saith the Lord!

God Is Not Done with Me

Pastor Gray states that the worst thing we can do is to stand before the Truth and reject it.

He examines John 8:32, Acts 1:11, and John 14:6, and discusses the truth of Jesus and what He did for us., Jesus expects us to be filled with His Holy Spirit and to take over where Jesus left off, doing greater things than He did.

Consistency

Consistency is better than rare moments of greatness.There is great advantage in doing things on a daily basis.

You don’t brush your teeth just once a week. You eat every day—several times.

If you will establish a habit of reading My Word every day, it will begin to change your life—one day at a time.

When you change your thoughts you change your life.

When you understand that healing is yours, you will walk in good health. When the truth of forgiveness gets deep within, you will know it is a hindrance to all your life to remain unforgiving. When you surrender your will every day, My will and plan for you can be established.

I have good plans for My children, but obedience must be a day-by-day commitment. Being in My House every week shows what is important in your life.

I change not and will do all I promise.
