Bible College isn't like Sunday School!

A week from this coming Tuesday I begin college. AGAIN! But this will be the LAST time I start again. I am studying for a B.A. in Leadership Ministries.  I lack a college Algebra from completing my core curriculum ~ that only took 25 years! (Don't laugh ~ that is REAL!)  Now I will focus on Bible and ministry courses.  I am an official student of a small, private (accredited) Bible college. ~ Even have the Student ID to prove it!

The Faith to Forgive - Another God-Cha!!

Earlier this week I wrote about the word I created ~ God-Cha!

I was given another God-Cha today.  I love T.D. Jakes and often I will listen to one of his sermon's while I clean the house.  Today I randomly chose this sermon:

The Faith to Forgive - June 12, 2011

What would you say to me today --- I can only imagine.

4:20 a.m., July 2, 1996 my father died in my arms. 

It was not the first time he left me, but it would be the last. I have felt closer to my father in death than I ever did in life.  My father allowed me a gift.  He allowed me to be with him when he died. It was not a Hollywood moment by any stretch ~ it was terrifying, amazing and miraculous ~ all at the same time.

Stagger not at the promises of God - Instead STAND!!!

On Wednesday of last week I watched the  Potter's House Bible Study via live-stream.

On this night Pastor Sheryl Brady was bringing the word.  She preached on Faith that Works.  I admit I never heard Pastor Brady preach - but I figured if T.D. Jakes allowed her in his pulpit she must be good ~ and I figured correctly.  Pastor Brady brought a powerful word from God ~ and laid it right at my feet. 

There were many powerful moments in Pastor Brady's sermon but the one thing in particular that stood out most was - STAND!  Stand flatfooted in your faith.

"You must stand flatfooted and say, 'God said it, I believe it.'  Everything you get from God will come BY FAITH."

 "God's promises are established and they will S-T-A-N-D!"
