You. Should be Teachers by Now!

Heb 5:12 For indeed because of the time, you ought to be teachers, you have need that one teach you again what are the first principles of the oracles of God. And you have become in need of milk, and not of solid food.
Heb 5:13 For everyone partaking of milk is unskillful in the Word of Righteousness, for he is an infant.
Heb 5:14 But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, even those who because of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

Raven eats solid food.
Raven feeds solid food
to those who think they are "Christians" and continue to walk in unrighteousness.

You most likely know that the people of the world have heard of a god and even "believe that Christ died for them" but their lives have not been changed-
They don't know Him, His way, nor His Word
they know of a "higher power"
usually their own way or a broad way
Lord, transform them by the renewing of their minds
We pray they hear the Word.
And How will they hear if we do not tell them? Amen

I thank God for Raven
for Truth and Light
for Salt and Wisdom
For Raven Philly, Pastor Frank and Carmen

Carmen's lesson this weekend was Hebrews 5:14
basically, some of them need a kick in the butt and she gives it to them-
"Get up out of your stink!" to those sleeping in their puke.
And they come back to thank her.

I thank God for Andretti,
for his love for the Lord
Andretti, being free from prison, free from the past
for his tenderness, for his strength, for his witness
and the Spirit of the Lord on Him
God's raising up a leader!
Wow! what a change
"a real conversion."

I thank God for the wonderful team of youth from New Jersey,
all high school students:
Erica, Christine, Jane, Honjoo, Kevin, H.j., and Hondo,

(oh please forgive me, the names I can not remember and those whom I did not get to know better).
How we love you and enjoy ministering with you.
What a wonderful team!
-ready to go, ready to serve

praying
and worshipping:
God, our Father, and the Son, Jesus Christ,

I'm broken for Robert (who was hooked on heroine)
I've been crying out for His deliverance all morning
He received the Word, sobered up and (most likely) used again-
He heard the Word; He knows the Way
That Word will not go void, Amen?

I'm blessed by Alex and his devotion to the Lord and to his child
We're praying for the mother of his child who has been labeled "bi-polar"
for her salvation, for deliverance, for Truth and Life, in her. Amen?!

Later at Inner City
We prayed for Crystal, for her women's ministry, for healing, for her marriage and a healthy childbirth-(she's birthing a nation).
The woman on the bench wanted off of crack, but wouldn't give up "weed."

Praise God for Carol (East Coast) who stepped out in faith and was blessed
never to go back to her old ways!! Amen

Thank you Scotty for the water.
Pastor George is always a blessing to watch as he ministers!
What a miracle!
Praise God!

Thank you Pastor Brandon for opening my eyes to the beauty of Philly (esp. Waterworks)
and Lucy for showing me the steps -where Rocky ran

Thank you Jesus
my Lord and Savior
Amen! Amen!!
