Praise

Last night we continued to go through the book of Hosea and we studied chapters 8&9. I know that might sound crazy right. Me, teaching through 2 chapters. I know, it is crazy to think, especially for those of you who know me, but that is what the Lord has had me doing. HAHA. Anyways, as I was studying and looking at what we would be going over, I immediately began to pray for the people who the Lord would have come to the service, because I knew that the message would truly be for us directly. One of the things that I shared with the church at the beginning of the message was the fact that the Word of God is truly LIVING, POWERFUL, and ACTIVE. And as we have been studying through Hosea, I have seen how this message (although it was written thousands of years ago) is directly for us today! I LOVE THE WORD OF GOD - there is nothing like it!

There were only 2 main points in these two chapters, with many sub-points as well. I saw that as I was teaching that the Lord was really directing the time and what I should press into or move on from. Well, at the end of the message, the Lord had made it pretty clear that this would be the time that we would really need to respond. I gave the invitation for people to either dedicate their lives to Christ or to rededicate their lives to Christ. There were 4 people who raised their hands to rededicate their lives! How amazing is that! It was also amazing to have the opportunity to talk with and also pray with many people last night after the service!

I praise the Lord for all that He did last night and do continue to pray that He would use these Wednesday nights to really work through His Word into each of our lives!
