82nd VirginiaState Convention

Church of God of Prophecy

“Fresh Anointing”

August 11-14, 2011 Roanoke Civic Center Performing Arts Theater

1

Greetings in the name of our Lord. As we see and hear the news of the world today it seems as if just about all is negative. Everywhere we turn there is trouble. Nations against nations, leaders against leaders, parents against children, children against parents and the list goes on. The only peace we will ever find is in the Lord and the church is our only haven in this world. Oh, how we need each other. So in the midst of all this turmoil we must relish every opportunity to "assemble ourselves together" because the return of our Saviour is near. As we gather from all parts of Virginia to our State Convention, we can turn our thoughts to the worship of the Lord and unite ourselves in the pleasing of Him only. No doubt this will be the last convention some will ever attend, but think of the reward for the faithful soldiers of God's army that have won the victory. We are getting ready to leave this world and only the "Spiritually Anointed" blood bought saints will go. In a landmark message by Peter in Acts 10 : 38 he said, "How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with Him". In verse 44 we find that “While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word". It would seem that perhaps this same anointing on us should give the same results. After all, we are to be like Him and He is our great example. Let's leave this convention with a fresh anointing!!
