Get the Picture

I spent several days in Raleigh at Living Word Family Church this past week with Karl and Lana Stewart. We were there observing the way they do "Church". We learned some great things. My thought for you today is simply this. When we are in faith for something, whether it is growth in the church, your personal life, or material things, it always helps to see it somewhere else. It might be as simple as getting some pictures or as involved as driving or flying somewhere to see it in operation. The point is, before you can have or do something you need to see it. By going to Raleigh, I saw where we as a church need to go. Once you see it, then you can do it!

YES, YES, YES!! As Jesse Duplantis teaces, faithing is so important...closing your eyes and seeing what you are believing for, but there is something about enjoying it with your natural eyes, that makes it real. It gives you that added hope that "all things are possible to him who believes". We all like to hear a good testimony to be reminded of how faithful God really is to us, getting those added "umphs" from others. Thanks for reminding us...there are few things I should probably go back and "look at" again to encourage myself...that IT IS possible!

THANKS! Pastor, for allowing Karl & I to see LWFC and to understand what you see when you look at VWC.

You are so right seeing where you want to be in person makes it seem so much more attainable and helps to "revive" your dedication to the end result.

This is so very true Pastor Eddie - we have to truly see it before we have it. Most people quit and give up on the vision right before their breakthrough. We have to see it and see it and see it - then work to achieve it. With God - all things are possible.

Most of what I have learned is by seeing it done.

I am SO glad you guys got to go...trying not to be jealous...wanted to go myself for several years...just to learn more about ministry! And boy have we seen the effects that trip has had on you...it's been so encouraging, thanks!

Pastor, It always helps me to visit other churches. It either helps me expand my vision or helps me realize that I am on the right track with what I am already doing. Every time I go to Raleigh, I come back with a much bigger vision. Glad you guys got to spend some time there.
