First Church of the Nazarene

5 P.M. Service

A woman, who was the leader of the worship band, welcomed everyone and we sang “Trading My Sorrows”. The preacher, John Branham told us that he had news that there was a wreck down the road and that members of the church were involved. John said a prayer and we began worship. We sang “Here I Am To Worship”, “There Is Power In The Blood”, “The Lily of the Valley-My Wonderful Lord”, and “I Need You More”. The preacher had the offering ushers come forward. Piano music was playing while the offering was taken. John said that God is so good and he mentioned loved ones in a prayer. He read from Jeremiah 10:12-16. He said that in 600 B.C., people didn’t know about evaporation, but God knew. He read from Isaiah 40:28-29. He said “That’s my God” and that God is wonderful in all his ways. He asked how many people get up in the morning excited and energetic. He said that years ago he world work out four times a day at the gym and could run for eight to ten miles at one or two in the morning. He had lots of energy. He said that times are changing and that he doesn’t have the energy that he used to.

He said that gravity is bothering him. The moon has 1/6th the gravity as Earth. He said that the realm makes all the difference. God’s realm is not our realm. God is supernatural and perfect in all ways. He said that God’s word can make anything out of nothing and John mentioned the word logos. God’s power is creative. In Genesis 1 God created the world. In the 4th day he created the lights in Heaven. God created the Earth first and spoke or breathed the very life into us. God created Adam perfect. Mary conceived a child (Jesus) by the mere shadow of God. God is the same God yesterday, today and forever more. John mentioned Job and that Job said that he knew God can do everything. Everything created by man or with nature doesn’t compare with God’s power. John mentioned how God gave Moses the staff that became a snake and then a staff again, God had the water become blood, and John mentioned the other plagues. John then quoted Hebrews 1:3 and Genesis 8:22. He said that he doesn’t get upset about global warming because of this verse.

We have a mighty God from birth until our departure, not because we deserve it, but because our God is merciful. Our hope is in the LORD. We belong to him. Our strength and power and hope is in him. He said that our lives are a learning experience and that he doesn’t know anyone who has come to the end and talked about it. He said a prayer for us and we were dismissed.
