| Rain Comes... |
Hi there. Pastor Perry shared some amazing insights when he preached on Sunday. Link for Perry's short video
When we got laid off from our jobs, one day apart, we were faithful tithers, partners with several ministries, and helpers at church and in the community.
It hit us like a landslide and caused some serious doubts. It was when I heard that 'rain comes to the righteous and the unrighteous' (ref. Mat. 5:45) that I realized that being a 'good' christian doesn't always mean that you will be protected from hardship.
On the contrary, our steps are ordered by God and he uses whatever he wants to mold us into his image. The Bible says to endure hardship like a good soldier (ref. 2Tim. 2:3)
I found out how addicted to comfort we were! A lot of extras had to go as we adjusted our lifestyles. It has been an interesting journey, to say the least!
Things turned around when I started to dig into the word of God and get serious with my confessions and praise and worship. Thank God for the power of his word! Thank God for the power of the blood of Jesus! Thank God for Holy Spirit who teaches, counsels and encourages us!
Watch the video and be encouraged!
Bless you!
