St. John AME - Springfield, IL

On Sunday, Rev. Patricia Herring told us about PTSD-Pray, Trust, be Still, and Depend. In times of worry it is important to demonstrate a sense of calm and understanding. Bring everything to God in prayer, and pray with the spirit of thanksgiving. When storms come trust is essential for believers. Stand still and witness His deliverance, it is in those moments of stillness when the Lord does his most powerful work. Depend on God for He is our source.

Is your fear covered by your faith?

Yesterday Rev. Patricia Herring preached at Table of Life Ministries for Rev. Jessie Herring’s Pastor Appreciation. She told us how you get double for your trouble!

Today Rev. Patricia Herring told us that full salvation is healing, protection, deliverance, strength, and transformation. The Blood has the power to heal and protect. The Blood of Jesus has the power to transform us into the image of God’s holiness. Isaiah 53:5 tells us that “By His stripes we are healed.”

Have you embraced the transforming power of the Blood?

Rev. Cynthia Newman reminded
us on Sunday to be of good cheer even when trials & tribulations bear down. “the Good will Always outlast the evil!’’ And, others are watching to see how our light and faith help us to respond to stress. “Our trials help others endure.”
