God's Word Develops Healthy Sheep

Acts 20:28 NKJV Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.

One of the many benefits of being a man or woman of God's Word is that a healthy dose of God's word regularly, will help keep you healthy! As we are fed a steady diet of God's Word, there is that natural tendency toward spiritual health and vibrancy!

We know that God's Word does not go out empty (Isaiah 55:11). So as it goes out: verse by verse, chapter by chapter, and book by book; it naturally nourishes the soul and promotes good, godly spiritual health. There is no alternative or substitute. The latest Christian book won't do it. The new popular YouTube video won't do it. The latest 10 CD set on this topic and that topic won't do it. But God's Word can and will, every time.

As you're feeding on a consistent diet of God's Word, you naturally become stronger and more vibrant in your spiritual life.

Become healthy, start feeding more regularly in the Word of God. Know Jesus and make Him known.

In Love,
Pastor Ed

Your study last Sunday on Acts 2 was so meaningful and freeing to me. God used you to clean up old, wrong teachings. I was raised in foster care. My high school years were with a minister's family. I had accepted Christ three years before. I was told I must speak in tongues to be fully saved. (If I didn't by the end of the upcoming revival meeting - I would have to move, as I wasn't an example to other youths.) If I didn't speak in tongues there was unconfessed sins. I prayed and begged God to speak in tongues. (They needed a mother's helper so no, they didn't send me on). I doubted my salvation. Three years later, I did speak in tongues in a private prayer and praise time, not in public. They said I didn't have the Holy Spirit because no one heard me. No one should beg for a gift - to anyone [?unto?] God who gives freely gifts to His children. Thank you for being used of God for what I needed. Sunday's service was awesome!
