Dr. Barclay – Something to Think About

Feeding of the Multitude

Matthew 14:13-21

Matthew 15:32-38

In Matthew 14:13-21 talks of 12 baskets. 12 baskets can be seen as representative of the 12 tribes of Israel and 12 disciples.

In Matthew 15:32-38 talks of 7 baskets. 7 baskets can be seen as representative of God’s perfect number of completion.

In both of these chapters we learn there was always plenty of food left over. The Gospel is for the Jews first and then to the Gentiles. Gentiles can be seen as receiving the leftovers. The salvation that Christ gives is more than enough for everyone. The gift of salvation is for everyone on the planet and leaves no one out. Just like Christ feeding the multitude and there was more than enough food for everyone, Christ gift of salvation extends to everyone and is more than we will ever need.

Rev. Vincent Hanley- Revival in our Hearts

There is a big difference between having a religion and having the righteousness of God within us.

Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.

We need to be extremely careful what we see and hear and let into our minds.

Proverbs 4:23 Keep your heart with all diligence,
For out of it spring the issues of life.

We need to remove ourselves from any evil influences, we do not ever want to be involved or touch anything that would interfere with our walk with God.

When we have revival in our hearts and minds, other people around us will see it, hear it and know it.

In our daily conversations, when we respond to others, we should always ask ourselves, is it necessary and is it kind? If not, than we should keep quiet and let the Lord deal with the situation for us, because God is always faithful and he will handle others in just the right way.

We live in a world today where many people have the wrong concept of eternity. We have to believe the whole Bible, not just what others have told us.

Genesis 3:1-6

The devil is forceful, evil and sneaky and he will take everything he can get. If you give him an inch he will take a mile. Christians need to stand firm and tell the devil he is a liar.

When we rise in the morning we need to ask “Lord, what would you have me do today?

Dr. Barclay – Something to Think About

The Promises of God

Promises are Covenants. Promises God made with us.

There are warnings that come with the promises of God. God is faithful at keeping his covenants with us, but are we faithful at keeping them with him.

Exodus 24:3

So Moses came and told the people all the words of the Lord and all the judgments. And all the people answered with one voice and said, “All the words which the Lord has said we will do.”

Christ has promised us eternity with him, yet it is up to us to be faithful and keep our promise to God, live for him and not stray from God’s word so we may spend eternity with him.

John 14:2 In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

The bible says let our yes be yes and no be no.

Matthew 5:37

James 5:12

We need to be clear and certain when we make promises to each other that we do our utmost, humanely possible to remain true to our word. Today people often break their promises and fall back on their word with each other and also break their promises they made with God. When we are not faithful to each other and easily break our promises it hurts our Christian witness. The best way we can live out the Christian life is to remain faithful to each other and ultimately to Father God.

Rev. Roxann Spicer –Worship and Warfare, the two used as one.

Psalm 91:1-2

Ephesians 6:12

2 Corinthians 10:3-6

Worship enthrones God and focuses on God

Acts 16:25-28

Paul and Silas did not say, woe is me and feel and bad for themselves. They focused on Christ, worshiped and praised him. What a glorious witness for the other prisoners and the jailer. In a cold dark prison, Paul and Silas chained to the wall with praise and worship, singing hymns, the spirit of God invaded that area in a wondrous way. When we worship we are elevated above our circumstances situation and events. Our perspective is shifted from the problem to the problem solver.

We need to ask ourselves, can we be like Paul and Silas, can we raise a Hallelujah in both the good times and bad?

To be successful in the Christian life this is exactly what we must do. God is faithful, he knows and sees our circumstances and he will not fail us.

When it is time for spiritual warfare, we must go to war and fully fight the enemy, who is Satan.
