158 Years and Still Counting Our Blessings

as the legacy lives on we're continuing to make it great in celebration of Berean Baptist's 158th a monumental journey that many would find impressing but we at Berean just simply count our blessings for there's no need to brag nor is there a need to boast as we are only still in existence by the grace of the Holy Ghost for 158 years we've stayed in prayer and preparation by giving all the glory to God for our church's continuation when Gideon went before the Lord God and then asked the Lord to do His part God then told Gideon there are a few things he needed to understand if he desired the Lord God to place victory in his hands you must be willing to step out on faith and willing to sacrifice whatever it takes you must faithfully believe in the cause for the Kingdom is at stake and there's no time to stop and pause you need to willing trust in God's instructions and lean not towards your own for it may lead to destruction you need to be willing to follow in line and keep the Lord God foremost on your mind you need to simply kneel down to God and pray that as long as you have a will God will find a way trusting in the Lord and no longer stressing having no more fears and just counting your blessings you need total faith and trust plus blind belief that God will answer your prayers and give you relief trusting in the Lord to always provide believing that He is always firmly by your side understanding that the Lord God is fully aware of everything that you are going through down here praying to the Lord and sincerely confessing repenting and atoning and counting your blessings chosen by the hand of God and now appointed touched by the word of God and now anointed in the presence of the Holy Spirit that has spurred you on a new disciple of Christ now renewed and reborn praying for yourself and everyone else who is around lifted up by the word of God and now planted on higher ground now living a life of substance and not mere window dressing making it great in 2008 by simply counting your blessings
