GOT CHURCH? -3

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 Spirit, and they spoke the Word of GOD with boldness.

CHURCH - THE PLACE OF SIGNS AND WONDERS

The Church is the gathering of believers in JESUS, who pray together, hear the Word of the LORD, receive Communion and worship. When the Church gathers together, they are there to show their love for GOD, build one another up in the Holy Faith and receive the blessing of the Presence of GOD in their midst.

When the LORD is loved, worshiped, taught, preached and honored, the presence of the LORD is strong and powerful; He is known and felt. In the passage from Acts 4, the Holy Spirit filled the house and the people spoke the Word of GOD with boldness.  Does this always happen when the Church meets and prays? Yes it does, the question is, Are you looking for Him? Is He welcome?

JESUS said that when two or three are gathered in His Name, He is in the midst. It is puzzling that often times He is not acknowledged as being present.  The attendance role call is taken at a meeting, but the Name of JESUS is not spoken; business is conducted without calling on JESUS to guide the deliberations; Worship is held, the right words are said, but JESUS is never welcomed.  This is why we do not receive the blessings of the manifestation of the presence of GOD and His signs and wonders.

Proverbs 3: 6 says, "In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He will direct thy path." Welcome the presence of GOD in the midst, look and see how He  manifests Himself with signs and wonders.

HE WILL DIRECT THY PATH
