13 AUGUST 2018 BODY OF CHRIST NEWS The Signs of God Today as we see the signs of God all around us, God is giving us time to do as he Commandeth in the book of Hebrew Chapter 12:1; wherefore seeing we also are com- passed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us. The Disciples asked Jesus a question, when will be the sign of your return? In the book of Matthew 24:2, Jesus told them there "shall be left no stone upon another". We are blessed to be witnesses to God's word, as we turn on our flat screen t.v., and the daily news show us the earth quake the buildings and homes that are left without one stone on top of the other, they have been crushed down to the Ground, this shows us that God's word is true no stone left, and in v5 he told them not to be deceive for there are people who will come saying they are the Christ, we have been warned not to be deceived, and we will hear of wars and rumors of wars, in our world today, we are living in the time Jesus spoke about wars and rumors of wars, Our Government is a part of the rumors. We should keep praying for peace in America and our government lead- ers Praise God, he has chosen us to be the witnesses of he's word and to tell of his Goodness. He tells us not to be troubled for these things must come to pass v7. "for nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom", Is this not the world we are living in today. It is written it is time to spend time in God's word he asked a question can't you spend at least one hour with me. In the book Luke 24: 25 then he said unto them," O'fools and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken" 19, "In that day shall there be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the Lord. 20, And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the Lord because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a savior, and a great one, and he shall deliver them." Isaiah 19:19-20. Commemorating the Life of Pastor Yvonne Emerson On Sunday, August 26, 2018, Now Faith Church will host a Women’s Day Celebration to pay tribute to the life of Pastor Yvonne Emerson, who was lovingly cherished in our community. It is the first year anniversary of Pastor Yvonne’s homegoing, and Evangelist Glenda Williams, of Glenda Williams Ministries, Tampa, Florida, one of Pastor Yvonne’s favorite Evangelists, will minister an anointed word at the 9:30am worship service at the Rachel B. Noel Campus located at 5290 Kittredge Street in Montbello, and a special evening service at 7:00pm, at the Now Faith Chapel located at 4840 N. Chambers Road. Pastor Yvonne was a beacon of light to women all over the world. She was sold out to Jesus Christ, and was a fabulous wife, mother, grandmother, and a great leader. She was a beautiful, bold, and blessed Woman of God, always exuding confidence, elegance and grace. Her demonstration of great faith and commit- ment to her church and family were unmatched and she impressed upon women to believe God and no matter the situation or circumstance to always “ACCENTUATE THE POSITIVE”. We will celebrate on this Women’s Day, the way she would want us to celebrate: by praising God! We honor Pastor Yvonne for her love, compassion and commitment to the kingdom of God… and we declare that her legacy will live on through those who were so positively impacted by her life! Live on, Pastor Yvonne, live on……. By Sister Carrie McElroy By Tawanna Sanders
