Does God still heal? Yes. Does God promise healing? No. Does God still make rich? Yes. Does God promise riches? No. Does God still cause success? Yes. Does God promise success? No. The “prosperity gospel” worships a false god, not the God of Scripture.

“Composers of spirituals, "Uncle Wallace" and "Aunt Minerva" Willis were slaves in the old Choctaw Nation area of Oklahoma during the mid-nineteenth century. A Choctaw named Britt Willis owned them. In addition to the usual chores done for the family, Willis hired the couple periodically to Spencer Academy, a Choctaw boys' school, to help with the work there. They were great favorites of the students during these periods because of the songs they sang while they worked. Uncle Wallace composed "plantation songs" as he worked in the fields. Aunt Minerva would sing along with him when they were asked to perform the songs for the students in the evenings. The songs composed by Uncle Wallace became well-known "spirituals." "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," "Roll, Jordan, Roll," "Steal Away to Jesus," "I'm A-Rollin', I'm A-Rollin'," and "The Angels Are A-Comin'" are among the most popular and best loved.

In 1849 Rev. Alexander Reid came to the academy as the superintendent. During the next twelve years Reid and his family grew to love the couple and their music. When the Civil War began in 1861, John Kingsbury, son of Rev. Cyrus Kingsbury, took Wallace, Minerva, and some of their children to Old Boggy Depot for protection. Later that year Rev. Reid's wife died after bearing his third child. In 1869 Reid and his children returned to Princeton, New Jersey, for the purpose of enrolling his children in eastern schools.

In 1871 the Jubilee Singers of Fisk University began a fund-raising tour for education work among the freedmen. They scheduled performances in several eastern cities, including New York City and surrounding suburbs.

Rev. Reid, with his family and some friends, attended a performance in Newark. Professor G. White, the leader of the singing group, made an announcement to the large audience that due to a lack of material, subsequent performances would be a repeat of the material that had just been heard. At that point, Reid remembered the songs created by Uncle Wallace and Aunt Minerva. He communicated this information to Professor White, who was delighted to hear of the existence of more "plantation songs" and was willing to have them taught to the Jubilees. Reid had no musical education and therefore resorted to writing down the words and singing the songs over and over to the eleven members of the group until the music was firmly fixed in memory.

Reid gave six songs to the group, including "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," "I'm A-Rollin', I'm A-Rollin'," and "Steal Away to Jesus." The songs were sung throughout the country and in Europe and became standard performance material for the Jubilee Singers. It is said that during a performance in London, England's Queen Victoria requested an encore of "Steal Away to Jesus." The popularity of both the Jubilee Singers and the songs they sang continued to grow. In 1883 Reverend Reid requested that photographs be made of Uncle Wallace and Aunt Minerva Willis, which he sent to Fisk University in remembrance of their musical contributions.”

Have a wonderful Saturday of the First Week of Advent!

Gospel MT 9:35–10:1, 5A, 6-8

Jesus went around to all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom, and curing every disease and illness. At the sight of the crowds, his heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.”

Then he summoned his Twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits to drive them out and to cure every disease and every illness.

Jesus sent out these Twelve after instructing them thus, “Go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. As you go, make this proclamation: ‘The Kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, drive out demons. Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give.”

Good News — October 2020 Every Home for Christ

Favorite Lines:

Scripture calls us to remember those in persecution as though we were being persecuted with them (Hebrews 13:3).

You can’t evangelize without prayer.

“I believe that intercession is probably the main way that those who are in the free world can engage with our brothers,” Tom shares. “We need to pray for the Church in these nations, that they will act with no fear because God is with them, that they will dare to do the impossible things.”

The Lord assumes that we will be persecuted for our faith, which is why he offers us this assurance: “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).

...“If we do not take these risks, the gospel cannot be preached.”

The gospel is the power of God that brings salvation (Romans 1:16). It is the only hope that people have to be rescued from their sins — the only message that points them to Jesus. This is why our brothers and sisters risk so much to share the message.

To them, the gospel is worth the persecution they face. To us, it is worth supporting them.

Christian Crosstalk "Waking Up" | The Lord Is Knocking on the Door—Come and Meet the Lord | The Church of Almighty God

Christian Crosstalk "Waking Up" | The Lord Is Knocking on the Door—Come and Meet the Lord (English Dubbed)

Just Awake and About To Wake are preachers of a Christian sect who both sincerely believe in the Lord, and who eagerly yearn for His return. But they have always felt puzzled and confused about how the Lord will knock at the door upon His return, and what they should do to welcome Him. When a sister knocks on her door many times to preach God's gospel of the last days, Just Awake finally awakens to reality through a period of seeking and investigation. After hearing Just Awake's experience, About To Wake also awakens from her confusion, and she comes to know that the Lord came in secret long ago, that He incarnated to express His words, that He uses His words to knock at the door of man's heart and that, by carefully listening to God's voice, the wise virgins are able to welcome the return of the Lord and follow God's footprints!
