Perry Noble speaking at WiBO

The notes below are from www.thewhiteboardsessions.com and a message shared there:

We must embrace the season of pain in our lives as God will work through it. When we do that, we will see and experience the blessing of God. We will see Jesus in a unique way. Just like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, the furnace had to be seven times hotter before they could see Jesus.

CRITICISM

It comes. It is just the way it is. Surround yourself with people who love Jesus and love you, but love you enough to tell you the truth. Listen to your coach and not the fat guy in the stands yelling at you. Don't focus on what you don't have. Focus on what you do have and what God is doing.

DEPRESSION

You must have FUN. What do you do for fun? When was the last time went on a date with your wife? Build your FAMILY. The church will turn its back on you but your family won't. Take care of your family. Check your FOCUS. Psalm 46:10 - be still (cease striving) and know that I am God. If you don't stay healthy, your church can't be healthy. Not taking care of ourselves is disobedience to God.

You are getting ready to see Jesus. That is why it is hot.

The book is Forgotten God . This is a phenomenal book about the power that Christians and the church can and must tap into. All of it is within the Holy Spirit. Francis talks about the power that was seen in the book of Acts when the Holy Spirit began to move among people. It is true that many have avoided or maybe forgotten what the Holy Spirit is all about. And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts. We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving of ourselves because we were made to do these things. It is when we live like this that the Spirit of God moves and ac...

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share. For me C.S. Lewis is one of those. He was a prolific writer who continues to grab the attention of thinkers from many different points of view. Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class. It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before. He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born. It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian. He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
