Friday Thoughts...

July 10th, 1861 - "Yesterday afternoon I preached on 'Being led by the Spirit.'  God assisted me and shed light on many minds, and especially on mine.  At the close we had a prayer meeting for the baptism of the Holy Spirit.  It was a gracious time.  The Lord held me to a fuller consecration to Him than I had ever made.  I was led to consecrate myself (1st) to deny self, (2nd) to redeem the time, (3rd) to go forward in the work of God as much as I feel I ought to.  The Lord accepted and blessed me, and gave me His Holy Spirit."

From the journal of B.T. Roberts founder of the Free Methodist Church about one year after it was started.

The seeds have been planted.

Consecrated,

Pastor Dave
