SUBJECT: WHAT HAPPENED TO GOD’S FAMILY

GENESIS 3:8-16, 19, 20, 23 & 24


Sin Destroyed God’s Family


The worth or value of the family.

The family: Let’s note some of the values:

1. The family helps us to get through hard times.


2. The family offers Love, Care, Trust, Honesty, Kindness, Compassion and Perseverance


3. Helps us to be good people, give integrity and responsibility.


Now, Right Off Heaven’s Press

1. What do we need to maintain the family?; To get it back?: 


2. First forgive: We need Prayer to forgive, Love Preparation to Move forward, to sacrifice for a Godly family.


3. What do we need to maintain the Godly family?, to get it back as ONE.


Listen termites get in your house, they will destroy it unless you do something about it.


SIN WILL DESTROY YOUR LIFE UNLESS YOU ACCEPT JESUS INTO YOUR LIFE HE IS THE SIN KILLER, TRY HIM.

Pastor Davis Speaks,


There is a word from the Lord: Listen if you would. What ever you are going through God knows.


Scripturally speaking Isaiah says in 73:11"And they say, How doth God know? And is there knowledge in the most high?

Isaiah 37:28 says "But I know thy abode, And thy going out and thy coming in"

Here is another one 

Isaiah 66:18 says "For I know their works and their thoughts"

Revelation 2:13 says " I know thy work and where thou dwellest"


Dear Members of The Greater Church Family and Others; God Knows and He Cares. 

The Psalmist gives us His words of comfort.

He says in 56:3-4 "What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee; In God I will praise His Word, In God I have put my trust.

I will not fear what flesh can do unto me."


If Pastor can be of service to you please call. We pray each day for you and trust you will share with us each night at 9:00 p.m. as we pray together


Serving In His Name,

Amen

 Question: Why is it important to study the word of God?

 Answer: To hear God speak to us, Remember, He is the same today as yesterday. God never changes. Study Psalm 33:11

                                                                                                                                 
 God’s word is truth, Jesus Himself is truth. Incarnate, (Spirit In Human form)

 Here are 6 main attributes of God.

1. Self Existent

2.  Eternal

3. Pure Spirit

4. Infinity Good

5. Omnipresent

6. First cause of all                                                                                                                                      

To conclude now, we give to you four ways God speak to us. 

As we said earlier,

1.  His word.

2.  In a still small voice,

3.  He speaks to us through His ministers

4.  Through visions-study Psalm 119:105

 Because we are under God’s condemnation and wrath: John 3:18, 36
 Because men are still dead in sin. Ephesian 2:1
 Thank God, A Savior Has been provided. Isaiah 53: 3-6
Because man needs an anchor, Thank God we have one: Hebrews 6: 17- 20
Because we need and thank God we have a Saviour.  
Know it in you head: II. Timothy 2:15
Stow it in your heart: Proverbs 4:4
Show it in your life: John 13:17 and James 1:22
Sow it in the world: Psalm 126: 5, 6, Luke 8:5, 11
Yes, we need a Saviour And Thank God .
Remember, God is still on the THRONE: Keep Praying and Trusting In His Word.

4/5/20
From The Pen Of Pastor Davis
We encourage you to listen to God’s preachers, We quote again Psalm 46:10, just a portion of the 46:10 verse “Be still, Why? SO you can hear God Speaking. He is speaking to this whole Nation. Yes, I can still hear Him saying to us; observe what I am doing in the midst of the work of satan; I am still with you.
I promised I Would not forsake you:
Let us take a prayerful observation of our physical problem. “Fear”.
Why do we fear? What is Fear? 
Someone has said fear is a feeling or emotion; fortunately all fears are learned, no one is born with fear.
Fear can be unlearned by practicing self discipline.
Let me make mention of several others, the fear of hope, fear of success, fear of failure, poverty, the loss of money, the fear of love, job, financial security, rejection, criticism and many more.
One’s prayer life and attitude can help you with your fears.
Fear can hold us back throughout our lives.
We fear because we become spiritually weak and lack of faith.
We close to remind us that the words fear are found over 300 times in the Bible,
Believe and Receive .
Study:
Psalm 27:1, Psalm 34:4-5
Psalm 23:4
Luke 1:12-14
Luke 8:25-24
THERE IS NO FAILURE IN GOD, SO DON’T TRY TO LIMIT HIM
HE IS OMNIPOTENT-ALL POWERFUL AND OMNISCIENT-ALL KNOWLEDGE
Serving In His Name, 
Pastor Davis, Sr.

Secondly, lets not be weary in well doing, for in due time we shall reap if we faint not. Galatians 6:9 (KJV)

Now, you know how Pastor is; "LET US OBEY THE LAW" practice social distancing as they have asked us to do, so that we will be in the midst of seeing each other again.

The peace of God which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7 (BJL)
