We're still working on the dating module, but have run into some road bumps on the road to getting this installed. Stay tuned, we're almost there. In the meantime, we still haven't come up with a suitable name for our new site. Please keep sending in your suggestions and remember we are offering a prize to the member that comes up with the best name.

 

Final plans for the GFB Bible Cruise are under way.  This will be a 4 day cruise leaving from Miami, Florida and going to a Caribbean Port. A specific date has not been set, but it will be in the fall. Costs and cruise activities are being finalized. Besides deep discounts for GFB members to join on the cruise, you will also have the opportunity to earn a FREE cabin on the cruise. More details will follow in upcoming newsletters and information that will be posted on GFB home page. This will be an exciting time for all of us and a great opportunity to meet fellow members. I am looking forward to meeting as many of you as I can. So, let's start talking to our fellow members and friends both on and off GFB about planning to join us.

 

And don't forget to start accumulating your points which will be converted to entries to our second Holy Land Sweepstakes. For those of you not familiar with our sweepstakes, the following should help. The Sweepstakes will run for 18 months culminating with a winner in August 2014. Entries into sweepstakes are issued for every point that you have in your profile. For example, if you have 300 points that gives you 300 entries into the sweepstakes.  Every time a member comes on to the site and posts a comment or posts a new video or posts their photo in their profile they receive points. Points are also given out every time a new friendship is made. Almost anything that members do are awarded with points. These points are tracked and posted on your profile page. All new members receive a point just for joining GFB. So  if you have a friend who joins, they  will receive an entry to sweepstakes just for joining GFB. So start posting and build up those points.

 

Remember, that this site does not belong to one person, it belongs to all of you. Without YOU, there is no US. Always Dare To Dream.

 

"Thank You Lord for this day, and for all you have done for us. Lord forgive us our sins, and help us with forgiveness of others. Lord please heal our bodies, minds and hearts, so that we are free and healthy in body, mind and Spirit. Lord may you guide , protect and provide for our family needs. In Jesus name we pray. Amen" 

 

                     WE ARE IN JESUS HAND SO DON'T WORRY HE IS ALWAYS WITH US.

Maintaining Your Elevation Through Higher Living 

by Anthony Osei Boateng
 
Paul said in 1Cor. 13:11 "when I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me" (NIV). This statement shows us that as Christians every level which God elevates us to, has a particular lifestyle which it requires. This special lifestyle is a very important requirement, if we desire to remain at the level to which God has elevated us. Another factor is that, God is a very good teacher and He will not give you such an elevation unless He has prepared you very well for it.

As soon as we accept Jesus as our Lord and personal Saviour, He starts pruning us to make us perfect in every way. He helps us to overcome our weaknesses and build us up as Christians. What we need to do is to be very good students, and follow the lead of the Holy Spirit. We should not keep on repeating the exact same things which the Holy Spirit has trained us to overcome. Unless we pass successfully we cannot proceed to the next level; and when we do proceed to the next level finally, we are required to maintain that higher living which we were living before attaining that height in our lives.

What do I mean when I say higher living? A higher living or a higher walk with God means having a very intimate walk with God. It means walking by faith and not by sight and being extremely sensitive to the Spirit of God. This kind of walk is very special and requires holiness and a tuning of one's spirit to the Spirit of God. Very few people in the Bible had such a walk with God, and these people lived uniquely blessed lives on Earth. Typical examples include Abraham, Job, Daniel, David and many more. When we sway from the higher walk, it has consequences. Just look at what happened when David took Bathsheba. This action generated many ripple effects but eventually God in His mercy turned things around, and ended David's punishment.

Eyes have not seen nor ears heard what God has in store for us. God has done His part by making these provisions available for us. It is now our turn to discipline ourselves to meet the requirements for having these treasures which God has laid in store for us. May God strengthen our hearts to make His will; our will, and to maintain a higher walk with Him always in Jesus' name, Amen!!

Weekly Prayer - Prayer to Treat Others Well

  

Father, thank you for bringing me into your family. May I never disappoint you in the way I treat others. Teach me to show love, patience, and acceptance to all who come to me; let me show peace of soul and firm conviction that your will governs all. And I pray that others may see in me the qualities of character that can only be attributed to your presence in my life.
Make my life a window for your light to shine through and a mirror to reflect your love to all I meet. To you be the glory and the honor, forever and ever, through Jesus my Lord.  Amen.
