Today our BFWC 2019 Crusade ended with a bang with several exciting results coming out of these series of services.  Last Wednesday, Apostle Joshua Giles preached and prophesied until God's presence invaded our church atmosphere so strong until it was tangible.  On Thursday again the presence of God was mighty in our midst as Psalmist Jermia Cannon ministered in song until the glory fell and again Apostle Giles ministered about the Python Spirit from Acts 16 where the Spirit of Divination was cast out of a fortune teller by Paul and Silas.  On Friday night our speaker Apostle Yolanda Powell had to miss due to the death of her mother, whom we knew in advance was seriously ill.  So, our Psalmist Sister Jermia lead us in a mini-concert session until again the room was filled with the glory of God and the presence of God made the room feel like it was spinning.  On Sunday, Bishop Major McIntyre ministered from the book of Ruth where Naomi decided not to allow the bitter waters of Mara to have the "last word" over her life.  Instead, she convinced her daughter-in-law and herself not to allow the bitter challenges in life that they had experienced to cause them to be bitter.  Bishop told us that people with "roots of bitterness" are contagious and spread their bitterness throughout their surrounding peers.  So if you are reading this little post, don't allow the bitter episodes in your life to contaminate you and cause your life to be bitter.  Decide today along with Me that the Joy of the Lord is my Strength and though some of the encounters in my life were hard and I didn't understand why some of them happened, I will not allow those encounters to make me Bitter.  God Bless,  RY
