"...live close to God and pray every day..."

//Lynette Hagin

Many times our prayers are selfish. We talk to God only about what He can do for us. We tell Him our needs as if He is our heavenly Butler. We say, "Give me this," and "Give me that."

Other times we treat the Lord as our heavenly Lifeguard. If we're about to drown, we scream, "Help me, Lord!" and we start praying fervently. We know Who to call when problems come—we dial our spiritual 911! But we should not allow crises to be the steering wheel of our prayer life.

The Wednesday-through-Friday services at Winter Bible Seminar & Rhema Worldwide Homecoming provided a strong ending to a great week. Wednesday evening, Tad Gregurich, Dean of Rhema Bible Training College, began the service by inviting Dr. Steve Anderson of Transworld Accrediting Commission International to the platform. Dr. Anderson presented Kenneth and Lynette Hagin with a plaque honoring them for 40 years of excellence at the school.

In his Wednesday night message, Kenneth W. Hagin focused on another of Rhema's foundational values: possibility faith. Thursday night after a moving Parade of Nations ceremony he spoke about the global network the Rhema family has become.

In the 10:30 a.m. sessions Wednesday through Friday, Lynette Hagin continued her Heaven on Earth series. She shared on how to hear God's voice clearly. And she explained that as we listen to Him, we'll find our places in Christ's Body.

Those attending also heard uplifting, challenging messages from directors and key team members of Rhema international campuses. During those 8:30 and 9:30 morning sessions, the speakers' points dovetailed as they taught on faith, the importance of staying connected, and finding your place in the end-time harvest.

Friday night Craig W. Hagin closed out Winter Bible Seminar 2014 with a powerful healing service. He taught those present how to receive healing, then laid hands on the many who came forward.

"Believer, change your family, your marriage, your school, and your city with God's love." That was the from-the-heart message that the Jesus Culture band shared during their March 20 concert at Rhema Bible Church in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. During the Christian group's night of worship and preaching, hundreds filled the auditorium to sing about God's unfailing love, mercy, and goodness. Many encountered God's presence and had their hearts touched by His love.

It was Jesus Culture's ninth stop in 13 days on their 10-city tour and their first time in Broken Arrow. Singer Chris Quilala opened the night with Awaken Me, a song inviting God to touch cities and fill His people with His glory. "A new day dawning; You are shining like the sun arising. You awaken me, You awaken me," Chris sang, as blue-and-white stage lights lit up the auditorium and the crowd sang along passionately. God was awakening their hearts.

What is Rhema really about? At this year's Winter Bible Seminar & Rhema Worldwide Homecoming, Kenneth W. Hagin is addressing that question head-on. Every night he's taking it back to the foundation and sharing the Bible basics that Rhema was built upon.

To kick off the week, Rev. Hagin explained the secret to strong faith. "Your faith won't work if you don't know how to walk in love," he said. He continued on Monday and Tuesday nights by sharing on the Name of Jesus and how to be led by the Holy Spirit. A number of people were saved, healed, and filled with the Holy Spirit, and many received direction for the future.

In the 10:30 a.m. sessions, Lynette Hagin is explaining how we can experience Heaven on earth in our lives. And God is showing up in big ways. The anointing was so strong on Tuesday morning that attendees couldn't help but bow their heads and pray.

We're also experiencing powerful ministry times in the 8:30 and 9:30 morning sessions. Rhema Bible Training College directors and key team leaders from around the world are encouraging attendees to step out and do something for the Lord.
