I pray that God move like a whirl wind in our lives and in the life of Rivers of Joy Baptist Church and we move into operating our Spiritual/Grace gifts and begin to minister to "one another" in the ENERGY of the Holy Spirit. (not in tongues)

LEARNING HOW TO DO GOD'S WILL IN THE LORD'S WA Y

will produce a spirit within our congregation, which will produce a life within us, and we will begin to see the Lord work within us. When the life and spirit of Christ is working within us, we will see the Work of Christ within this Body.

How do we learn the Lord's will?

• Note I Corinthians 15:58 "Therefore, brethren, be ye steadfast unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord. forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord."
  

WHAT IS THE LORD'S WORK?

• What did the Lord do while He was on earth? Two things: He evangelized and He edified. Luke 19:10


• The Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." Acts 1:2-3
  "Until the day in which Jesus was taken up (into heaven), He was speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God" Refers to the edification of Christ's disciples.
  
  The Lord's work is "labour" (work)Christians have been called to do the Lord's work in the Lord's way. And doing His work, your labor will not be in vain
