Soldiers on the front line

If you want your Corps Officer to be on fire, light her or him up with the flame of your own experience. Do you want to see your DC excited in the Spirit? Show the DC the fireworks in your spirit by the grace of God. How about your parents...or your friends...or even your kids. The fire of the Spirit is contagious when it is authentic. Hallelujah!

We have such an impression and impact on the people around us. Can we embrace it and accept the responsibility and challenge? We must! Don't be found napping here. Reveal life in Christ in ways that are compelling and fruitful. The Spirit will enable you. You can depend on Him.

Ephesians 6:10 (MSG)
10 And that about wraps it up. God is strong, and he wants you strong.

AMEN! I had an amazing New Years Eve! TWELVE hours of Praise and Worship at the Pioneer Corps in Philly. What an amazing way to start the new year. I was blessed as was everyone who attended. Why do we need to wait for new years to have times like this? Why can't it be like that every day! I pray that it is and that this year be a year of prayer and growth in our faith!
God Bless!!

We need the fire of the Holy Spirit in the Salvation Army. This is how we get the boldness and passion to fulfill all that Jesus requires of us.

P.S. Commissioner: Please forgive me if someone falls while we're praying... It's not me!
