CHURCH NEWS AND OTHER FEATURES
True Life is Lived by The
Spirit
Evangelist Rachel Thomas
I have wept, and cried
over God’s Word as the Holy
Spirit gave me Blessed
Assurance that Jesus is
Truth. He is the Word of
God and the Word has truly
blessed me through the years
even to the present as it
comes to life in my Spirit.
His word is truly Spirit
and life and we are His peo
ple. We Must live by it As
I count my blessings through
the beginning of my journey
with Him, I cannot express
my thankfulness, my grate
fulness.
Praise and Glory to
God for all He has done for
me and my family who has
gone ahead. He has done
miraculous moves in their
lives and mine.
It would take the writ
ing of a book to tell it all, but
through it all, I’ve learned to
trust in Jesus as I walk the
narrow way with Him in the
Spirit realm.
You see, we are not of
this world, we are only pil
grims going though it to
serve the Lord.. No, the
road won’t be easy but just
know without a doubt that
He will never leave you, nor
forsake you.
He is true to His prom
ises. He goes before you to
fix everything, and everyone
for you. I walk in prayer, I
cease not to pray.
That is why I lost my
job as a master teacher of
twenty-two years because I
would not cease to pray after
they took prayer out of the
schools after being elected
chaplain of the P.T.A.
