Winter Bible Seminar: Wednesday February 17
Wednesday Morning, February 17. In the 8:30 session, RHEMA Bible Training Center instructor Joe Duininck explained that our perspective of ourselves can influence our ability to reach our true potential in Christ. He used the biblical examples of King Saul from First Samuel and Saul of Tarsus, who later became the Apostle Paul. Each had the potential to do something great for the Kingdom of God, but only one did. Rev. Duininck said, “The perspective we have as we look at ourselves determines how much of our potential we will fulfill.”
At 9:30, RBTC instructor Craig W. Hagin discussed “The Traits of a Winner.” He said, “If you want to be a winner, act like a winner, do what a winner does, know who you are in Christ, and become victorious!” Using analogies from sports and life, he shared nine characteristics that every believer should incorporate into his daily life to live as a champion.
Wednesday, February 17. At the 10:30 a.m. service, Lynette Hagin spoke boldly on staying sensitive to God’s Spirit. She noted that many believers have hardened their hearts—they’ve desensitized themselves because they haven’t been putting the flesh under. They haven’t been renewing their minds with God’s Word and communicating with the Father in prayer. “But God is calling His people to walk in the Spirit,” Lynette said. “We’ve got to clean our vessels out to be used in His service—to reach the highest level we can with Him.”
Wednesday night, February 17. To many people, a Holy Ghost meeting includes a lot of running, dancing, and shouting. The Wednesday evening Winter Bible Seminar service was a Holy Ghost meeting, but the Holy Spirit’s strong presence was felt in quietness and holiness. After a time of singing in the Spirit, Kenneth W. Hagin called the congregation to the altar to kneel and pray. “God is dealing with people tonight,” he said. “And it’s in atmospheres like this that the still, quiet voice of the Holy Spirit speaks.” Many hearts and lives were changed as people basked in the presence of a holy God.
