“Answers!”

Blessings Folk!

Pray with me.

An opportunity for the Kingdom has arisen.

This week we will begin a new television program, “Answers”.

It will be available locally through WCQT-TV27 (check your local cable provider for station listing).

It will also be available online… http://www.answers.blip.tv
(Hoping to have each episode posted by Friday each week)

I ask that you will be praying.

Here is the short story.

As many of you know, we do a local television program called “Prayerline.” This program was developed due to a need that was readily apparent. Folk were literally calling the station asking for someone to pray with them. This is what we do. Folk call the live program. We pray with them. (Thanks Debbie Wood for listening to the Spirit and spearheading the start of the program!)

Currently we do “Prayerline” live on Monday evenings, 8 p.m. CDT and it is rebroadcast two other times during the week.
(Those of y’all distant can join live via internet at http://www.justin.tv/prayerline )

This is fine, but folk can not call the rebroadcast. Also, we were noting something else.

People have questions.
People are searching for answers.
People need to know where Life and Hope are.

Out of this arises the new program, “Answers.” It will take the place of the rebroadcast “Prayerline” segments.

“Prayerline” will continue live on Mondays.

Simply put, we will seek to speak the Word of the Lord to the situations of life.

Will it be a “Bible study”?
Not in the traditional sense, but the Word of God will be read, studied, taken into our hearts, spoken, proclaimed. We hope to avoid the trap of “studying” and knowing what the Bible says, and yet not having it applied to our hearts. There are so many professing believers who are consumed with fear, doubt, hopelessness...

What will be the format?
It will be fluid and varied. We will spend the initial programs exploring how God is a covenant making and covenant keeping God. That being said, our first program will diverge from that! The first program, this Thursday, May 6th, will be on the same day as the “National Day of Prayer.” Therefore, we will be seeking the Lord related to such.

Our desire is that we will be able to speak to the issues and news of the day.

For instance, we would have addressed earthquakes, tornadoes, economic problems, leadership, middle east, etc. in recent weeks.

Does the Lord have things to say about such?

Oh yes!!

The foundational truth is this - God is the Answer.
Jesus is the Way, the Truth, the Life.
The Holy Spirit empowers and leads those who are His.

Again, I ask that you continue to intercede before the Lord. What might He do?

“Answers” will be broadcast on Thursdays, 4 p.m. and Sundays, 9:30 a.m. (The times are always subject to change...I’m also hoping to get a couple of “in the middle of the night slots”...many folk work 2nd and 3rd shifts.)˘

One last thing.

We will begin a new Bible study locally this week…”God Searches for a Heart Fully His”… this is Course 2 of the “Kings and Prophets” Series. We will cover 1 Kings 15-2 Kings 1 and 2 Chronicles 14-20. These courses are very short. This one is five weeks long. Join us if you live nearby. You do not need to have taken any previous courses.
If you live distant, join our Facebook group. As of today we have 146 folk in the Word together in the Facebook group. http://tinyurl.com/2ee3p7v

Thanks for allowing me to communicate this stuff to you. I really believe it is important for us to join as one through the Most High God.

Never forget, we are the Body of the Lord and servants of His and one another.

Blessings!
