Ever Increasing Faith by Chaplain Steven Walle
"Now, faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen." Hebrews 11: 1.
Each man and woman are given a measure of faith. It is up to the individual to either increase his or her faith, or to let it grow falloe. I shall expound upon four avenues in which to increase your faith.
1. Prayer: Communication with our Heavenly Father through His Son Jesus Christ increases our faith through God answering prayer, giving us guidance, and feeling His Love for us through our intimate communication.
2. Studying The Word: Bible study is a key componant to increasing one's faith. If we know what the Word of God says, how can we know what we profess to believe in? Through study of The Scriptures we realise how the Word of God is active in our lives.
3. Fellowship with like-minded believers: We must never forsake our fellowship with our brothers and sisters in Christ. The Word states that iron sharpens iron, meaning that our faith is kindled when we see an other's faith growing, or when we can share our own growth with others.
4. Witnessing: When we profess out loud to an other what we believe our faith is strengthened. Our brain believes what it hears our mouth confess, so only give the good report. In Filipians Paul says, "Do all things with out grumbling and complaining."
There is an awsome book I would like to recomend by Smith Wigglesworth entitled (Ever_Increasing_Faith) You can find a free copy of it at

God bless you all and keep the faith.

Righteousness by Chaplain Steven Walle
"For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." Eph. 2: 10.
Let us break down this verse in to digestable pieces.
1."For we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus" In this verse the word (we) refers to God's Children, the saved ones. Our salvation is brought forth by believing in Christ Jesus, that He is the Son of God and has died for our sins so that we may be made free.
2."unto good works which God hath before ordained that we may walk in them."
Here, we see that righteousness is not of ourselves but of God. Man falls short of the Glory of God, so we must be created in Christ Jesus to attain His Righteousness.
Before we are saved all of our deeds, whether bad or good, are likened to filthy rags in Isiah. Filthy rags translated from the Hebrew is used menstral rags to be thrown on the fire to be burned.
Once we are saved, our good deeds which have already been planned for us to do, are as clean white linen. When we are saved we are compelled by Christ Jesus living in us, to do good works. We do not do the good deeds to be saved, but rather, we do the good deeds because we are saved.

Healthy Wealthy and Wise! by Steven Walle
Hello Saints. It is imparative that we take care of our health, that is physically, mentally, and the health of your pocket.
The Bible says to present our body as a living sacrifise, Holy and acceptable before the Lord for this is your reasonable service in Romans 12: 1. This suggests that we must take of our bodies by not puting anything harmfull in to them. We must excercise regularly; diet resposably; and use propper sanitation.
For a responsable diet, a good place to start is in Lev. 11. You don't have to keep the dietary law, but is is a good springboard from which to gain a healthy diet plan.
I recomend that we excercise at the very least 20 minnutes a day.
Mentally we must gain the Wisdomb of God by reading His Word dayly. Romans 12: 2. Protect your heart, by discriminateing betwene good and bad in what you are allowing yourself to hear, see, and ponder. For that which we take in we shall also give out. The principle of gigo applies hear. Garbage in garbage out, or Gospel in Glory out.
Through obedience to God's laws and commandments we may recieve many blessings. Deut 28: 1-14. Through disobedience we will recieve the curses found in verses following the blessings.
So in conclusion We may become healthy wealthy and wise if we obey the teachings of the Lord. May the Lord bless each one of you, and may His face shine upon you, and be gracious unto you. And may He bring you great joy and peace that passes all understanding. In the precious Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Amen.

Praise The Lord!!!
Sing a new song to the Lord. Glorify His Holy Name. This is the day that the Lord has made. I shall rejoice and be glad in it.
Good Morning Saints. Our Lord is so awsome. He provides every breath we breathe. He is the Alpha and Omega; He is the author and finisher of our faith. He is the mighty God of creation and still He cares about each and every one of His children as ef each one was the only one.
