“U” MUST BE SPIRITUALLY
PREPARED
Tabernacle With us “LORD”
Desire, it is a dainty word! It were
much that He should satisfy the need,
the want; but He goeth far beyond
that. Pity is moved to meet our need;
duty may sometimes look after our
wants; but to satisfy the desire implies a tender watchfulness, a sweet
and gracious knowledge of us, an
eagerness of blessing.
God is never satisfied until He
has satisfied our desires.
REMEMBER THIS AND LIVE
I WOULD RATHER LIVE
MY LIFE AS IF THERE IS A
GOD, AND DIE TO FIND
OUT THERE ISN’T; THAN
LIVE MY LIFE AS IF
THERE ISN’T, AND DIE TO
FIND OUT THERE IS………

burnt offerings and presented fellowship

According to Deut. 8:18; God, Himself
gives you power to attain wealth. You
just have to believe that God has said it
to be so. Find yourself standing on His
promises and you’ll see that all He
wants is for you to trust Him.

I’ve come to realize that the God of my
salvation put a lot of time and effort
into creating and shaping what stands
before you today. I deem it indeed a
privilege and an honor to say that God
chose to tabernacle within this “messof-flesh”. So as I continue in my walk
for Jesus and God the Father, I will
always remember that living just
beyond a heartbeat away is the Spirit of
God.

WHAT IT SAYS
This is my Bible, I am who my Bible say I am,
I can do what my Bible say I can do. I have
what my Bible say I have, my Bible
teaches my spirit, my spirit teaches my
mind, and my mind teaches my body. My
Bible is full of promises and commandments, my Bible has good and bad examples. How do I know my Bible is true? By
comparing scripture with scripture and
spiritual things with spiritual things. I
study my Bible to show myself approved,
rightly dividing the Word of God.
