Insight for Living
Evan. Rachel Thomas
Living your life in and
through the Holy Spirit is the
best and only way to live.
The Bible states, “That the
flesh must die.” The flesh
killest... but the Spirit lives.
We are to crucify flesh so
that the Spirit can live. We
are to walk in the word of
God and in the Spirit of God.
No it won’t be easy. Has
there ever been anything
worthy that has been easy?
The word says many are the
trials of the righteous but
God delivers us out of them
all - hey! I am living proof
of it and yes - I’m still here!
Glory be to God. I don’t
know how much longer but I
intend and am determined to
live and walk each day in
and through the Living Spirit
of God and his words. I will
trust in and on God for all of
my needs and directions for I
will acknowledge Him to
direct my path.
He is faithful and true
to every word and His will is
for us to prosper as our souls
prosper. We bring sickness
and death by our sins and
weaknesses. God allows it
but He wants us to live and
not die. The Bible says
because of lack of knowl
edge the people perish. I
pray that I would get more
and more of God’s word in
my heart that I might not sin
against Him. We are living
in the last and evil days, and
if anyone is wise, we would
get closer and closer to God.
God said we Must Be Bom
Again. That is not a request,
but an action, a command or
we will walk the lake of fire
for eternity. As we live and
walk in God’s word and in
His Spirit, he promises never
to leave us, nor forsake us
-now to leave us alone is
ever true. He said to his
Bom Again Saints “I will
abide and dwell in you and
you in me.”
I would rather have
Jesus than anything that this
world can afford today.
Jesus is all I need, He is my
life and I desire to live every
step through Him on this nar
row path. He is my peace.
He is my love. He is my
deliverer. He is my joy. He
is my companion. He is my
light in a dark place. He is
my bright and morning star.
He is my way maker. He is
All and All to me. I love
Him with every inch of my
being. He is the Best thing
that EVER happened to me.
I urge you to walk with Him,
talk with Him, Love Him
with all you heart and you
will find out that it is worth it
all.
God Bless and as
always, I love you!

REMEMBER THE NAMES
I am convinced that
God is constantly
intervening in the
lives of all humanity.
If we are to truly
understand what God
is doing in our lives
we must first under
stand what He has
already done. We can
not appreciate the
blessings of where He
is taking us, if we
don’t remember where
He has brought us.
We can only appreci
ate our history when
we remember the c - MeGill Brown
names of those that have come before. One of my concerns
with the African American community today is that we do not
remember the names. I question whether we know the names
of those who paved the way.
Whenever black folk get together somebody ought to say,
“Lets remember the names”: Phyllis Wheatley, Benjamin
Banneker, Richard Allen, Nat Turner, Frederick Douglass, W.
E. B. DuBois, Paul Lawrence Dunbar, Ethel Waters, Marcus
Garvy, Adam Clayton Powell, and A. Philip Randolph just to
name a few.
In Savannah, remember the names; George Liele, Andrew
Bryan, Henry Cunningham, Ralph Mark Gilbert, William
Daniels, William Franklin Stokes, Willie Gwyn, Benny R.
Mitchell, Jr., W. W. Law and Curtis V. Cooper.
It is all right to talk about LeBron James, but don’t forget
Wilt Chamberlain, Meadowlark Lemon, and Kareem Abdul
Jabar. Its ok to talk about Barry Bonds, but you must first
remember Satchel Paige, Willie Mayes, and Hank Aaron.
Before Beyonce there was Lena Home. Before Venus and
Serena Williams there was Althea Gibson. Before Trayvon
Martin there was Emmett Louis Till. When you sit down for
dinner with your family tonight, take a moment and remem
ber the names.
