The Bible declares, “Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised…” We are so grateful to be counted among those who are in agreement with this truth.
Today commences our Spiritual Warriors Convention 2014. This is an additional opportunity afforded us here at F.E.A. for the Holy Spirit to impart His gifts and His graces to us in accordance with God’s purpose and plan. The only thing that He requires of us is that we make ourselves available to Him so that He can do His work in us. In order for God to use us, we must yield ourselves to the Holy Spirit.
Convention is also a time for signs, wonders and miracles. Whenever the people of God come together in this manner, God always manifests His glory in miracles, healing and deliverance. After all, He said that where two or three are gathered together in His name, He is in the midst. And when God is present we can expect great and mighty things to happen.
Finally, Convention is a time for fellowship one with another. It is always a wonderful thing when the people of God fellowship with one another. The Bible says “Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!”(Ps. 133:1).
When we dwell together in love and harmony, we attract God’s blessing to our lives.

CORKY
STEPHEN KUUSISTO GREW UP FEELING A STIGMA ABOUT BEING LEGALLY BLIND. FOR HIM, SIGHT CONSISTED OF A KALEIDOSCOPE OF SHAPES, COLORS, AND SHADOWS. PRIVATELY HE WOULD PRESS HIS FACE CLOSE TO THE PAGE OF A BOOK AND MEMORIZE STREET NAMES IN AN EXHAUSTING ATTEMPT TO APPEAR MORE ABLE TO SEE THAN HE REALLY COULD.
WHEN STEPHEN WAS 39, HIS LIFE CHANGED AFTER HE ACQUIRED AN AFFECTIONATE AND CAREFULLY TRAINED GUIDE-DOG NAMED CORKY. IN LEARNING TO USE CORKY TO LEAD HIM, STEPHEN REFLECTED ON THE GROWING TRUST IN THEIR RELATIONSHIP. HE SAID, “FAITH MOVES FROM BELIEF INTO CONVICTION, THEN TO CERTAINTY. WE ARE A …POWERHOUSE!” WHEN STEPHEN ADMITTED THAT HE NEEDED THE HELP OF A SIGHTED COMPANION, A NEW WORLD OF FREEDOM AND MOBILITY OPENED UP TO HIM.
MANY BELIEVERS BLINDLY STUMBLE THEIR WAY THROUGH THE CHRISTIAN LIFE IN THEIR OWN STRENGTH. SEEMINGLY, THEY ARE UNAWARE THAT GOD HAS PROVIDED A SUPERNATURAL GUIDE TO LEAD THE WAY. JESUS SAID HE WOULD SEND US A COMFORTER WHO WOULD GUIDE US INTO ALL TRUTH (JOHN 16:13). WHEN WE CONFESS ALL KNOWN SIN AND THEN DEPEND ON THE HOLY SPIRIT TO GUIDE US (GAL. 5:16, 18), WE BECOME A POWERHOUSE FOR GOD! “FOR WE WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT” (2 COR. 5:7). —Dennis Fisher
Where God guides, He provides.
