    If we really want the presence of Jesus we must put a demand upon him, He is always passing by but he will only come in where he is invited.

And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread. (KJV) THE PROPHET = THE WORD OF GOD constrained (KJV) 2388 chazaq (khaw-zak’); a primitive ...read more

    This road of life often seems to have potholes that will throw us off course. We begin to go this way or that, and soon discover that we are off of the path that God desires us to use. That's when the warning of Jesus to the church at Ephesus is given;

    Potholes in the Road to Ephesus Sunday, February 10, 2013 By Rev. James May The Holy Ghost led me to a passage of scripture this morning that I know He wants to use to speak to someone here this morning.
