The first place we went. We were in a small room with 10-20 elderly people. The Word of God went forth. Vincent preached on 'Emmanuel: God with us'. Christ in us is where real strength comes from. We can have a strong and overcoming spirit regardless of our situation. Thank you Lord! I was able to pray with the people. It was an honor to join my faith in God with a lady. She shared with me that she was believing that the nursing home was going to become a place filled with the anointing of God; where people would be healed by the power of God. Thank you Lord for desires and dreams you have given people.
Our second honor was ministering in a memory care center. We got straight to the Word after a couple of songs. I preached on the fact that God's Word is alive and full of power. It is sent forth to accomplish the divine puposes of God. I encourged them that the Word was sent to them to accomplish specific purposes and to open their hearts to receive the Word. From the Word, we noted three things God had sent. #1. Freedom from fear: we exhorted them that they have nothing to be afraid of (God is with them, God is for them). #2. God is our Healer. Healing is available to those who will believe. #3. Jesus gave us peace. Therefore we can have peace at all time and in all situations.
There is nothing more wonderful then the Word of God. He sent His Word and healed them; it was such an honor to be a vessel God used to share His Word and see people receieve it. Some will receive and some won't. We know that is not our concern; all we must do is what He has told us to do: "Preach the Word".
