Notes from:

Rev. Michael W. Waters and Atty. Yulise R. Waters
Joy Tabernacle A.M.E. Church

Where are we in this cycle of frustration?

Hope------->Frustration

To induce feeling of discouragement in:

1. I want a Christian marriage

----> Ideal of what we hope for.

----> When we begin we consider: getting in a faithful marriage, Christian hope in marriage.

2. I have been hurt or disappointed in my relationships.

----> Objectification can happen in 3 ways: Money, Access, Sex.

3. I am questioning the reality of what I once beleived in.


4. I give up.

----> Communication is key!

----> Committed non-committals---> doing everything to not commit to marriage.


Where are you at in the Cycle of Frustration to Hope.

Frustration------------->Hope

1. I am being healed of my wounds!

-----> we need to be restored.

2. My beliefs in Christian Marriage are being restored.

-----> Sometimes it has to be gained through your intimacy w/God.

3. I have hope in Christian Marriage, again!


4. I want a Christian marriage!

-----> not settling for anything less.

Can I get a witness?

I will contine with Job later but for now...

I am posting my notes for the Opening A.M.E. Convocation on yesterday July 16th, 2009. This was an amazing service preached by Rev. Dr. Marcus Cosby of Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church.

Can I get a witness?
Acts 4:18-20

¤ When a preacher asks the question can I get a witness, something should to be heard.

¤ The church is suffering from secret service saints.

¤ Everybody will not be thrilled about your witnessing.

¤ Witnesses are often in danger.
---> We need some:

¤ Ignited witnesses(Peter)

---> Holy Ghost filled --> when fire gets hold of you. Psalm 118:22

¤ Irrefutible witnesses

---> show up and speak up on their behalf of their God.
---> They have been with Jesus.
