I firmly agree with the scholars' who wrote the 3 Study Notes  transcribed below with a Pentecostal perspective from the Fire Bible by Life Publishers.  So much so that I've attached them to my personal mission statement as a reminder to myself.

1-Study Note:

                               

"They do not serve your gods..."

  

  • "Though the Bible teaches us to obey, honor and pray for those in authority over us (Romans 13:1-7; 1 Timothy 2:1-2; 1 Peter 2:13-17), our first duty is to God.  If we obey what Jesus called "the first and great commandment"--to love the one true God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength (Deuteronomy 6:5; Matthew 22:37-38)--We cannot worship or honor any false god or any image representing a god.  This would also include giving priority to anything above God in our lives (see article on THE NATURE OF IDOLATRY, page 370 of Fire Bible)." 1. Fire Bible (FB) Modern English Version (MEV) Commentary Daniel 3:12 Note. ‘Obedience’   

2-Study Note:

"Hear, you deaf; look, you blind, that you may see."

 

 Isaiah 42:18-25

  • "Because of the spiritual blindness and deafness of God's people, they were being attacked and completely robbed by their enemy; there was no none to rescue and restore them."  Page 948 of the Fire Bible.


3-Study Note:

     

 "mentioning you in my prayers."

 

 Ephesians 1:16-20

  • "Paul's prayer for the Ephesians reflects God's highest desire for every follower of Christ.  He prays that the Spirit might work in and through their lives in greater and more powerful ways (Cross Ref. with Eph. 3:16).  The aim of the Spirit's activity in Christians' lives is that they may (a) know Christ better (v.  17), (b) receive more wisdom, insight and understanding concerning God's present and future purposes for them (v. 18) and (c) experience greater "power" of the Holy Spirit in their lives (vv. 19-20)."  Page 1716 of the Fire Bible (MEV). 2.  FB Pg. 963 The Will of God Article & Isaiah 42: 18-25 Note & Eph. 1:16-20 Note.

Carrying the Message

Image
Grabbing the Torch   Each of us carries the fire imputed within.  If you’re Christian, you carry this fire within.  A fire placed there by God.  Today we pass the baton like that of a relay race.  It’s a baton with fire & smoke.  Like that of the Israelites if you will.  We carry the message of eternal life & death.  You can say that it’s a hot topic in the world!   Ministry is a marathon relay race.  Winning requires Teamwork.  Strength & Conditioning.  Stamina.  Endurance.  Confidence.  Balance.  Flexibility.  Communication, Power, Speed, Coordination, Agility, & Accuracy.  All of these areas of spiritual conditioning must be explored and integrated into the character of the competitors.  The person passing the torch or baton needs to know that the receiver is ready.  They both need to know where to meet & when.  They need to know who.  We need to know how.  As teammates we must have the same objective in mind, heart & in spirit.  Or else the race will not

New Beginnings: Born Someplace Between His-story & Hope

The Dove is symbolic of purity & peace! The Genesis of it all for us began in Texas & Utah.  Kelli raised Episcopalian & Southern Baptist later marries a young Navy man who was reared in the Mormon community.  Roughly ten years into our marriage I hit great depths of despair while operating as a Deep-Sea Diver.  That’s when I met the real Jesus of the Bible.  And we received spiritual discipleship from the First Assemblies of God—Red Hill Oahu, Hawaii. Dove Creek First Assembly, as some of you know, was founded during the 21st Century Pentecostal movement in 1936 some 30 years after the Azusa street revival in Los Angeles by A.J. Justice & his wife, Madeline.  Sent to plant & pastor by the General Council of the Assemblies of God, Springfield MO.  The original facility for assembling was made of logs hauled by the local men of the church from the Blue Mountain in Monticello, UT.  Forty years later Pastor Edward Phelps, his sons & local men built the roof we now
