 I teach the Word of God - but one of the most important lessons God has taught me is this:

It is not always my job to reach my students...It is ALWAYS my job to TEACH my students; 

The Lord Himself is the One who will reach them,  through the Word that I teach them...Because His Word will never return void, but will accomplish that for which He has sent it (Isaiah 55:11).

We can sow the seed; we can water the shoots...we can pray, pray, pray:  But then comes the real test of faith:  Can we let go and allow the Holy Spirit to do His job?...to do what only He can do (John16:8) ...Because it is the Lord who reaps the harvest. (1Corinthians3:6-7)

Also Zechariah 4:1-6

(“Shekhinah”  - literally means “dwelling” The Glory of God with man.) A walk through… As we enter in at the east end (just as Jesus came into Jerusalem from the East gate…and will come again the same Way) we come face to face with an imposing altar: Read Exodus 27:1-7.   https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus%2027%3A1-7&version=ESV This is the first place you are confronted with when you enter in…it is so noticeable you cannot avoid it. It is an appalling p...
