  The Force of Faith Dear Partners, Friends & Family,  Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase. - Martin Luther King, Jr. This is a great quote from Martin Luther King, Jr. God has laid it on my heart to re-study and share on the topic of faith. Last Sunday Ps. Cherise brought an excellent life-giving and encouraging word on the importance of faith and what we can expect this supernatural power to achieve for us.  In Mark 11:23 Jesus exhorts us to have, obtain and operate in the God-kind of faith. The God-kind of faith is a free gift that is birthed in our spirit when we are born-again. From there, we can cultivate and grow our faith by feeding on the Word of God, praying in tongues and putting this miraculous force to work in our lives. Please read and meditate on the following three scriptures: Romans 10:17 - "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." Jude 20 - "But you, beloved, building yourselves up

  Dear Partners, Family & Friends,  A heart of praise and love shows others just what Jesus can do in the lives of people. Praise, like sunlight, helps good things to grow.

Regardless of the circumstance you are facing, if you will stop and start to praise the Lord wherever you are, you will bring the presence of God on the scene. Like the quote above,  praise is like sunlight, it causes good things to grow . The good things that you are believing for will come int

  Dear Partners, Family & Friends,  I hope you all had a lovely Easter and a great day yesterday. As I was thinking back over Easter, the following scripture came to mind. “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.”  - 1 Corinthians 1:18 Let's think about that for a moment, the preaching of the cross to us who are saved is the  power of God . I believe the church today needs more preaching on the cross, and the shed blood of Jesus. Easter is always a great reminder of what God accomplished for each and every one of us through the death and sacrifice of His Son Jesus, on that cross, that day. The Jews celebrate Passover, this feast of Israel that has been celebrated perpetually since the exodus of the children of God from their slavery in Egypt is a wonderful picture of what God did through Jesus Christ at Calvary.  Psalm 105:37 says,  "He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was
