A Word from Pastor Jo (Week of April 2, 2017)

The Fruit of Faith - Judges 7:2 (NLT): The Lord said to Gideon, “You have too many warriors with you (there were 32, 000). If I let all of you fight the Midianites, the Israelites will boast to Me that they saved themselves by their own strength.” We all know the story of how Gideon won the battle with only 300 men. Gideon won through Faith! Saints, sometimes we see Faith as something hard to have because we have No idea what is going on behind the scenes. Sometimes we only see the fruit of faith. All we see is the beautiful apples already grown, picked, polished and on the shelf. I want to encourage you not to give up on what you are struggling with because you may not have all you need to bring to completion your dream. Know that God is working behind the scenes and He will give you what you need... so at the end He will be the One to get the glory. Keep your eyes on the One who can take that which is not and make it be. God has the power to change every situation.
