tHE WIND OF THE SPIRIT

 "The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth:  so is every one that is born of the Spirit." 

The great work of the kingdom of God is not with denominations, or religion, nor is it found in men and their means. But it is in the Spirit of God, that the work of God's kingdom is done. And without the Spirit moving, working and being for God's glory, whatever men may do or try is nothing, but vanity. There is an absolute necessity for the Spirit to do the work. In this verse above, the Spirit of God working and moving, is compared to the wind that we know of in our atmosphere. 



It was a few weeks ago, that the SBC was celebrating the news that baptisms had increased the previous year, 26%. Some state conventions seeing double digit increases. All of this after years and decades of decreases and troubling signs of the time for baptism numbers. But at the same, the contrast of one denomination celebrating, "look what the Lord hath done", there was another mainline denomination, the United Methodists, that were celebrating that they had affirmed the LGBTQ groups into minsitry and their hcurches. That which God has already spoken and declared, "I abhor. . . I hate" this abomination being done by individuals, by nations and communities. That which God hates, those that declare they are of Him, are loving. How can children of Light, love that which God hates? It is not possible. For as He is, so must we be. Love the things that God loves and the way in which He loves; hate the things He hates, and the way in which He does so. A warning is given concerning such things, "do not add to, nor take away" from that which the Lord has declared.

It is a strange time for the church today. Because of this heresy, and blasphemy, it is increasing, in those groups, denomations, that we have long been apart of, supported and saw as "His church". But we are in a day that is revealing who is truly the Lord's, and those that are not His'. How do we know whose they are? or Whose we are? Because of this chapter 3, in John. Ye must be born again, is the emphasis and teaching of Christ. The truth of being born again, is this declaration from Him, "it is the wind of the Spirit" that does the work. The Apostle Paul said this way in I Corinthians, "one sow, another reaps, but it is GOD that gives the increase."

QUESTIONS REGARDING 100 HOURS OF PRAYER FOR SBC

 Greetings, Those that have joined us and participated in these protracted prayer meetings, are understanding of what this call to prayer is and how it works. But there are those that we are inviting and they have many questions as to how all this works. Here is a lists of questions to help you understand better what the "100 Hours of Prayer for SBC" is all about: What is it? - It is a continual prayer time, lasting 100 hours straight. Starting at Monday, October 7 at 8 AM (EST) and going through till Friday, Noon (EST) to finish. How is it set up? - During these 100 straight hours, it is set up in 15 minute increments. This creates 400 time slots to be filled to cover all 100 hours with someone praying.  Why? This is created as a catalyst to prompt a continued spirit of prayer for SBC life.

100 HOURS OF PRAYER - DEC. 2023

  Greetings, "Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?" Acts 9:6 "And He said unto her, What wilt Thou?" Matthew 20:21 "And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you?" Matthew 20:32 "When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, He saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?" John 5:6 In the book of Acts, Saul has been confronted by the Lord Jesus on the road to Damascus. Upon hearing Who is speaking to him, Saul seeks instructions from the Lord, "What would You have me do?" How often Saul, later his name turned to Paul, would ask that same question before the Lord, 'Lord, where would You have me go? To whom would You have me speak? what would you have me do?' A surrendered Christian is always seeking to be obedient in all things of our spiritual walk. We too, will be found asking this same question, that we may be found in His will and ways. Perhaps, it w

#1 Invite Letter for 100 Hours of Prayer for SBC - 20024

 Greetings, "And David said, What have I now done?  Is there not a cause?"  I Samuel 17:29 David had heard the words of Goliath. He had heard him defy the armies of Israel, and blaspheme the Name of his God. A holy anger welled up in him to do something about it. All the others, including his own brothers, feared and fainted before Goliath. But David contended with those of the army soldiers of Israel, and his own brothers that something must be done against this uncircumcised Philistine. David asked two questions: 1. "What have I now done?" 2. "Is there not a cause?" Set before you now are these same two questions. I ask of you the same questions in light of our current status. "Evil has come in like a flood" (Isaiah 59) upon our land, our cities, our families, minds and hearts of men and women, and even within the churches. God declares in Isaiah 59, that when evil does come in like a flood, that He raises up a standard against this evil. There
