We had technical difficulties tonight and had to abandon our planned format. We allowed the Holy Spirit to flow and spent the show encouraging and giving testimony. Be blessed. If you know someone who is discouraged or maybe about to throw in the towel, contact them and tell them to listen to this broadcast. Below are scriptures we referred to:

Hebrews 13:3 Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body. 5 I will never leave you nor forsake you

 “Acts 4:13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.”

“Acts 4:31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.”

“Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) 24And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: 25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together…”

”St. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  -  10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”

“Is 53:4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5 But he was wounded for our transfressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”

We are still dealing with the Holy Ghost, the Word and, abiding. Ella makes the connection to how the Father and the Son are one and how we become one with them.

St. John 17:21 "That they all may be one; as thou, Father, [art] in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me."

Briefly summarized our desire to share our experience of fellowship together in the Word of God and the awesome presence of the Spirit of God. This year Word Alive covered the New Birth, The Holy Ghost, Progressing in God with the Holy Ghost and by Abiding in the Vine.

At some time or other each of us encounter a time of struggle in our walk in Christ. Those who are in a struggle or have a hurting heart be encouraged. Abundant life can flourish beyond your struggle and pain.

Abide in the Vine.

"John 15:5 I am the vine, ye [are] the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing."

[Jhn 1:1-5 KJV] 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

[Jhn 1:1-5 KJV] 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.A

There are stages of progress in God. One absolute is to abide in the vine. "John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing." (KJV)

The Holy Ghost - our comforter and more!
