Do You Study God's Word or Are You Just A Believer?

Pastor Murray converts people to Christianity by teaching the Bible, but more importantly he shows you how to study it yourself.  Unfortunately this is not the norm..Most pastors use charisma to convert people to Christianity.  "You can be happy and positive like me" coins the teaching style nicely.  Pastor Murray is old, Pastor Dennis is boring, but they have something that still propels their Church to record numbers.  They get you to READ your Bible.
And doing so, give you the power.

My testimony. GodBless Shepherd's Chapel

Dear Pastor Dennis Murray;

I had a vivid dream sometime September of 2013. As usual I fell asleep listening to Pastor Arnold Murray while tuned in on Dish to Shepherd’s Chapel bible study hour.
In the dream I was with Pastor Arnold. I told him how much he was going to missed as I knew the time would soon come that he would go again back to the Lord. My lips began to swell and puff up and then water started gushing from them. I woke up and began sobbing deeply and was missing him already. That was my dream. I believe the Lord spoke to me thru the dream to awaken me to the knowledge that I was one of His elect. The water is His word spoken thru the Holy Spirit which I will allow when I am to be delivered up n the synagogue of Satan.
Blessed is He the Lord God Almighty.
I hope this letter and the enclosed 3 essays written by me in service to the Lord reach you personally as I am writing this today May 29’2014. I plan to be at the Chapel on July 20”2014
(that’s my birthday!) for your 3rd week of the month baptisms and hope to hand deliver them (incase you don’t get them.. realize your are very busy) to a staff member or to you personally because I really want you to read.
I want to thank you and the Chapel for awakening the Spirit in me. And for the first time (and I’m 50 years old..and will be 51 that day of baptism) making God’s Word understandable and personal to me on the deepest level of my soul. You will certainly get a crown for this!; as was heavily addicted to crack cocaine and was spending my entire life flying around in a stupor. I was completely in the grips of Satan. He had me so bad I was sleeping on the floor with no food, nothing to do but try to keep getting more and more.
I have found so much purpose, peace and vigor and there’s such a sense of urgency about my work now. I am completely in love with my Messiah, my King, My Lord and the Father and the Spirit ( the Elohim) who I see their hand in every little detail of my daily being; and in how much blessing I’ve received in this short time. I now know the reason why I am still alive. I have clean white towels and healthy food and ALL my earthly needs are attended to. He has given me everything I need to do my assignment. A google chromebook, internet, a good sharp brain, the gift of sight and the gift to write. I am working on creating a blog for the elect and the others who need to hear the Truth. And the writing I’ve enclosed were the first of the many I intend to publish to the web. What do you think about the name “Fig Informers” for the blog?!
I should in every right be dead as I am HIV and HCV positive and have been so for 25 years. I am undetectable for the HIV virus, and God got me this miracle medicine which I am in my second month of taking which will eradicated the HCV virus out of my blood as well.
Before this after taking a big hit, I passed out in a gran mal seizure and hit the floor so hard I almost knocked my front tooth out. When I came to, my little dog was panting and walking in circles around me as I lie on the floor. I surely was dead. But God in His grace has kept me here to do this most important work which is to say to allow Him to use me for Him to speak when the time comes.
How I long for this day and how I am loving each and every day I have loosed from the chains of Tyres rock. Rock is the street word for crack.. How appropriate. Now my rock is the Lord Jesus Christ, Yeshua Yeshiva how precious is my Savior's name, my redeemer. Amen and amen.
Love, Jennifer Siagian Malakbkny@gmail.com

I couldn't disagree more about your thoughts on Dennis Murray.
Maybe it is because he always got the short stick on the material. But He always has been a better teacher, than a preacher. If you don't know that your in a world of hurt.

As Pastor Arnold got older I believe he got better as a gun-totin preacher man. He always used the same cliché's, form the desk pounding days, but his delivery got smoother. His answers to his critic's(the one's that wouldn't have a life, if they can't attack Christ and His messengers)so heat felt and true. It was as if satellite was the bottle and Pastor Murray was the genie. One he popped out there was no going back.
I don't think you could find two better individual's to bring God's word.
I know Dennis has to stay healthy, if he is going to see this through til 2068. Or find some young Murray's, with a TV show voice, like Pastor Dennis' when he say's "It's getting late in the game."

It's not really about who's delivering the message and what character traits they might have or not have it's what's being said everything goes back to wisdom understanding and knowledge you can glean from anything dealing with the gifts of the Spirit 1st Corinthians talks about discernment is the key to true wisdom understanding and knowledge that's why the elect have the eyes to see dealing with religion a Creed a denomination there's always going to be discrepancies that's why you have to be able to take in what's needed and throw the rest out and that's how you glean wisdom is always referred to in a feminine sense it is the first ways of the father it's talked about in the first 10 chapters of proverbs her gift is understanding only then when you study to show thyself approved as the scripture says in discernment from all areas all religions all creeds all denominations you come to realize that everything goes back to Darkness and Light all are him he is all there's only one father Elohim he consists of both Darkness and Light because without one the other cannot coincide you have to have one in order for the other to be present that's the spirits on the left in the spirits on the right that's talked about at the end of 1st Kings he created Darkness he created light he created peace he created evil Isaiah 45 6 & 7 says the most high is all in all for the purpose of universal restoration because in the end light will prevail every knee will bow every tongue will confess that's how the meek shall inherit the earth and his mercy and his grace shall endure forever with this said I strive 2 help those been predestined for the greater calling so it doesn't matter who is bringing the message or what flawed character traits they may or may not have had because when you look at the elect in the Torah and this and the New Testament you will see that truly the last book comes first in the first becomes last in his service joshyost135741@gmail.com
