Florida Christian/Bible teacher Terrie Ward told a large audience of women and men Saturday morning at Waycross Aglow Lighthouse, “The greatest love we have is God’s love in us. Let God show you where He wants you to show up!’’
At Our Beloved Church on Osceola avenue, Mrs. Ward captured the attention of her listeners, commenting, “Praise God and speak life. As we are obedient He will take care of responsibilities. God has a reason for planting you where you are today. What is it you want God to see? Let go of it and be whole. God wants us to know He sees us. He has given us the capability of walking through storms.’’
The speaker, born again at the age of 12 and committing her life to Christ in her 20s, said, “God offers forgiveness. Get rid of things in your life that don’t allow you to have the full power of God. My love for Jesus compels me to love others. We are in this world, but passing through. Don’t worry about what’s going on, but remember we are just passing through. Today is the only thing that holds me up. God in us is our rock and salvation.’’
Introduced by Aglow leader Rosalind Eskew, the speaker commented, “I am praying for a harvest. Plant a seed and be in intimate relationship with God. Let God carry you where he really wants you to be. I have been born again, spiritually for many years and have learned He will deliver you from the evil of the day. I want the flowing river in my life so I can be a disciple.’’
“God fixes trauma at the end. We are in a battle and we have to see God and He will strengthen you. You are going through boot camp,’’ the speaker said. “God encourages us one step at a time. He knows our greatest needs, struggles, despair. He knows the good, the bad and the ugly. The enemy tries to deceive you. The Holy Spirit and the power of God are enough to deliver you and set you free. He sees you, knows you and He loves you. You are the most important to Him. He called you true saints of God. You are a born again person. Anything not of God is antichrist and not of God.’’
Mrs. Ward teaches kindergarten/ first grade class at Beaches Chapel in Neptune Beach, Fla.
She also serves in leadership at the Jacksonville Beach Women’s Aglow Lighthouse.
