My brothers and sisters please forgive me for missing last week, to say the month of May was “maying” would be an understatement! One dear sister suffered a double tragedy, losing everything in a fire that destroyed her home, while another received a stage four cancer diagnosis, with the disease having spread to all her organs—pancreas, liver, stomach, kidneys, brain, and blood. We laid her to rest last Tuesday. Yet in the midst of all this tragedy, devastation, and disease, I SAW GOD! I saw prayer work intentionally and specifically. I saw my sister go through a Job-like experience and still have peace and joy. I watched another sister receive the doctor’s report but stand firmly on the Lord’s report, declaring, “By His stripes I am healed,” whether that healing came on this side or the other. I’ve seen people pass away with peace, but I watched my sister, in less than three weeks, “die well.” Until her last breath, she had worship in her heart and praise on her lips. This past month has taught me so much and set me even more ablaze for the Lord! This is the Mature Believers Space, where faith meets fire—and I believe I’m in the right place! Back to presenting our bodies living sacrifices to the LORD!!

Welcome to The Mature Believers Space, where we are growing in the word of God, faith in Christ and love for one another. As with all Mature Believers we simply ask that you: 1. Respect this space, the Spirit of God who dwells here, and the people who gather in fellowship. 2. Honor and respect the Word of God. 3. While we respect all faiths and religions, in this space we reverence the name of Jesus, and His name alone. 4. We believe Jesus is the One and Only Begotten of the Father, the Living Word of God, The Way, The Truth, and The Life, and the Only Way to the Father. 5. We believe Jesus was crucified, buried, the first-born resurrected, His shed blood redeemed us, and will be returning for His church without spot or wrinkle, SOON! 6. We stand on Philippians 2:12, each working out our own salvation with fear and trembling, but there’s also an expected spiritual responsibility and accountability you embrace so we don’t have to. We will hold you accountable because we love you deeply, down to your soul. 7. Although we believe in supporting one another there is no solicitation in this group. This means there is no soliciting funds selling of goods or any of the sort. 8. This is not a dating space—keep it focused on Him. God bless, and have a blessed day!
