Doers of the Word

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

Hello I’m on the Friday night team. A while back I was reading the word and I read the first chapter of the book of James. The verses that ministered to my heart were 22, 23 and 24.

Verse 22 states:

But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves.

Verse 23 states:

For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror.

Verse 24 states:

for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was.

That’s an awesome word, as I write it brings chills down my spine. Not only are we to be hearers, but we are also to be doers. As we read the word, we should apply them to our everyday life. This is why I thank the Holy Spirit for living and working through us. We can’t walk this walk in our own strength but it is through the Holy Spirit we can live a victorious christian life. Jesus is Lord and he reigns for all eternity. Let him reign in your heart as well.

Findley Ave Raven 2008

This year like every year, the Raven Ministry went to Findley Avenue. This event was birthed in the heart of Victoria and Derrick Griffin many years ago and many years later the Lord is still touching their hearts to share his son Jesus in their neighborhood. The event took the form of a block party filled with activities for kids and teenagers alike. We had big speakers that played gospel music and we also had live performances by the YPC choir.We served popcorn, juice and hot dogs. We also shared the work of the lord and the heart of Christ to people at the event.For the teenagers, we had a basketball tournament and for the kids we had face painting, a water dunk tank and for the general audience we had a prayer station for whomever needed prayer and ministering to.

It was a wonderful way for us to show Christ’s love and to be his “hands and feet” to the people of Findley Avenue.
