I have been preparing the message for Sunday morning and just a few minutes ago, I felt the Holy Spirit nudge me to really rally prayer for Sunday morning:
The devil does NOT want you there, period.
Honestly, ...and this is not just 'promo talk',... this message, if it takes root in your heart, will absolutely serve to set the course for the rest of your life.
As I look back over my life, when I realized what I am going to talk about this weekend,......there is no other way to put it: The TRUTH began to unwind the lies. The road was set toward walking in life and freedom.
Whatever you have to do to get there Sunday, DO IT! Realize the enemy is going to do all he can to keep you at home. The temptation to sleep in, kids getting sick, you feeling sick, fights on the way to church....:)....hey, it does happen!....Satan will do all he can to keep you from walking in freedom.
RESIST HIM and come ready to RECEIVE Sunday!!!
Sorry to get 'preachy', but I felt this strongly. Love you guys.....and as 'Braveheart' said (in the movie, anyways..:)..)....
FREEDOM!!!!!!
PB
PS For those of you who signed up, see you Friday night at 6:30pm for "Dinner & A Movie"!!
awesome, awesome message.

Wow, you seem to have extra zeal about this one! :) I'll go and be ready to receive.
