The Spirit of Faith Newsletter - October 1982

Main Article "From the Pastor's Desk" "Praise the Lord! I just wanted to share some things from my heart this month. I am amazed as I watch what God is doing in these days! The speed at which things are happening is beyond my imagination of only a year.. . or even six months ago. If you had told me then that we would be involved in satellite ministry - I would have said, "I don't know, that would seem to be far off, in the future, after we've grown some more as a ministry." But God had other plans! He spoke to me an said to be an "Electronic Church." What does this mean? He said to use every available means of modern technology to preach and teach the uncompromised Word of God. The Satellite Seminars are just the beginning of the fulfillment of this new part of our vision. The overall vision for Word of Faith Ministries, Inc. and our church, Healing Springs Faith Center is: "To Proclaim the Word of Faith, To Be A Showcase of Ministries (the satellite certainly makes that possible,) and Train People To Fulfill the Word of God."

Praise God, we have not lost sight of the vision! Without a vision the people fail and are destroyed, but with a vision? We grow and succeed! We are believing that many more will catch on to this vision. When God called me to pastor I thought, "Lord, are you sure? I've always been a teacher, a traveling minister; I don't know anything about pastoring!" But God said do it, and we've done it! Now, Healing Springs Faith Center is growing and prospering! We have the best people in the world attending and working together! I know that every pastor must feel that way but - Praise God, it's so! We have the greatest Children's Church in this whole area - because we have an anointed head of this area, Laura Adams. She's been teaching the kids the Word, not just baby sitting them. They even set goals for this year - the kids, not just Laura! They have big vision as well as the adults!

I am excited about the direction that we are headed in. Many things have happened in the past in this ministry... all of them were great adventures in faith. But I'm convinced that the best is yet to come! We are taking the whole area around Denton and Davidson county for Jesus! The spiritual atmosphere is changing over this area! I tell you, folks, it's time to get committed to a good Word Church and receive training on being a useful member of the Body of Christ! Praise God! There is a call of God going forth in these days to get committed! Too many have been sitting around "playing church" or being "cruise-a-matics" (that is someone that just floats from place to place looking to get blessed.) I know that some may have been able to get away with that it in the past - but I believe that God is telling us that that day is over! We need to be a blessing, not just want to get blessed ourselves. Now, there's nothing wrong in and of itself in being blessed. I'm talking about an attitude! We are going to have to realize that God has been training us in the Word, and faith so that we can do a job!
