WOW WOW WOW!!! I needed this instruction, wisdom, motivation and chastisement so much tonight. Many things are going awry in with my children and work but tonights Word brought it all into perspective. Despite everything happening, I must be faithful like Paul when he was imprisoned to constantly give thanks and praise with a grateful heart. Indeed God has placed me in good ground at Potters House.
I so look forward to the sermon on the Holy Spirit. Should two people have the same spiritual language? I heard ministers repeating what they pastors would say and I could not understand how that would be the true manifestation of the Holy Spirit giving utterance. I have asked God to bless me with the gift of tongues and I have spoken once but I found myself intellectually thinking is this truly happening. What was I saying? How do I know to say it? Is this truly the Spirit or do I want it so much that I have tricked myself? Is there something wrong with me if I don’t immediately speak in tongues when hands are laid upon me?
I truly look forward to hearing the answers to these questions. Thank you so much!!!

Thank you so much, I look forward interacting with you and the other members! This is just the answer that I was looking for, I am blessed to be a part of such greatness & glory
God’s Greatness & His Glory
Bless the Potters House and all who are a part of the HEALING God is taking me thru.

My daughter was in a process of picking a husband and I accidentally came to hear you study on this. I directed my daughter in Nigeria to your site.I took down notes and we are going to study this very thoroughly.
Your teaching packs a punch.
God bless.

This was my first night here. It was an awesome teaching. I needed that deeply. I was starting to stray away from God and church. tonight has brought me back though. Praise God.

I want to thank you for being obedient to the holy spirit. I am definitely in the middle of making some critical decisions regarding my marriage and career. When you said sometimes faith means staying/standing, i felt a release in my spirit.
I am excited about the upcoming series on releasing the power of the holy spirit.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I recently made the decision to relocate to the DFW area for two reasons: to serve at The Potter’s House and for business purposes. While I was raised in the church, I realize now at the age of 37, that I DON’T have a clue (as you so eloquently put it last night)! I was never instructed on how to study the Bible or taught vs. preached the word of God. Nor did I ever take the initiative on my own to learn His word until now. In my quest to mature and grow in Christ, I have been seeking a structured and interactive Bible Study format/setting. I had not
attended BS in 3-4 weeks. I have been praying and seeking solutions. Something…well someone (I learned this last night at Bible Study) told me to get up and get my behind to Bible Study last night. So you have to know that I was beyond ecstatic to hear of your new approach to Bible Study. This is precisely what I have been praying for. So, I thank God for leading and guiding you and I pray that BS will continue to move in this direction as I am and I know many others are hungry to learn, study and intelligently share the word of our God. I was truly blessed yesterday evening! Carmenn

That was a powerful message! WOW I was speaking in tongues at the alter!!! Loved it! Can’t wait till next week!!!

I am so grateful for your teaching on “The Will of God For Your Life”. Without a doubt it was a word that was so apropos for the biggest challenge I have ever faced right here, right now. To put it mildly, I am 50ish and my job is horrific! However, despite everything that I endure daily, I feel with all that is in me that God has placed me there. Of course, I don’t know why, but my “knower” believes this to be true. It keeps me praying, praising and most importantly praying for my boss! Because, there is so much that he just doesn’t understand. I felt the Lord was speaking through you to me confirming that I should continue to wait this thing out. As Bishop said on last Sunday, our great adversity comes just before our greatest blessing. This struggle is keeping me humble and keeping my focus on the author and finisher of my faith! I already have the victory. I am looking forward to the remainder of your Wednesday night “Back to the Bible” teachings. I like so many others appreciate the fact that the Potter’s House continues to move as the Spirit dictates.

Thank you - you was talking to me all the way to Hawaii. I didn’t get to hear all of it. I have been battling for three years now and was ready to pack my bags and go to another church. I am now believing for a breakthrough this year and I am going to give it all to the Lord and ask the Holy Spirit to guide me. Thank you, great word.

I was blessed by the message Pastor Faison and it was so important for me to hear the directions you gave on discerning God’s will in my life. What a wonderful anointing that’s on your life and it is blessing others tremendously, especially me. God bless you and your family and continue preaching and teaching God’s Word. You are a blessing and truly a son of Bishop Jakes.

All I can say is WOW…God is so awesome! Your message was truly a blessing to me. That was a very powerful message and it really put things into perspective for me regarding how to discern God’s will for my life. I know it had to be God speaking through you at this appointed time because it sparked something on the inside of me in my spirit. I have been going through some things personally and at work and was beginning to get discouraged about my current job situation. I know at times I have felt that what I am doing is pointless and a waste of time, but I now know God has placed me here for a reason and that I need to work faithfully and wholeheartedly as if I am working for God. That was such an encouragement to me and it really motivated me to work diligently and know that God is working out ALL things for my good. I am looking forward to hearing tonight’s Bible study message. May God continue to bless you Pastor Faison.

Pastor Faison, thanks for this type of BS. I have been flopping around, like you mentioned last night, in the bible and made my devotionals my study. This type of study is so needed. I also am looking forward to hearing/studying this series on the Holy Spirit. I like others didn’t truly know what the Holy Spirit did for you until a few years ago. I just recently spoke in tongues, but like Hope mentioned before, I wanted to understand what I was saying. Also if it was truly from God. I didn’t want it to be fake. Right now, as others, I feel that I am facing spiritual warfare and I have my scriptures that I quote throughout the day to give me strength and to press on, but it is hard not to stress. I know the Lord will bring me through and I truly believe that Jesus has given us the victory. How do I not stress when things are going crazy at your job, in your family and so forth all at once? I just try to keep in front of me that in the end God wins and that greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. This helps me to move on. Thanks for bringing forth God’s word. Also March 5th the word spoken @Bible Study spoke to me also. Good word.

This teaching is powerful! I am so inspired to go higher in the Lord. Thanks be to God, our Bishop who allows the Holy Spirit to lead, and to you for being obedient to the Holy Spirit — not only in what you say but in how you (and your wife) live everyday (it shows!!).
Thank you!!!
March 24th, 2008 at 12:42 pm
I am so grateful for this teaching but I would like to enncourage those who cannot afford at this time to buy study tools, don’t be discouraged — the Holy Spirit will teach you alot as you research the scriptures Pastor Faison has given us and using just your bible!!

Pastor Faison,
This series blessed my life forever. Now, I know where I have gone WRONG with many people that I have tried to help. I needed to know my boundaries and they should have told me. But now, I am giving people your tape before I Mentor anyone else. I will NEVER go into another relationship un-balance.
May God forever bless you and keep teaching us who hungry for righteousness and being right in God’s eyes.
