Worship: For Heaven’s Sake After singing the Lord’s Prayer, which includes the phrase “Thy kingdom come,” Pastor Flemons explained how the term kingdom of heaven sometimes referred to the kingdom grace and at other times the kingdom of glory. John the Baptist, Jesus, and His disciples preached repentance because, as they said, “The kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Clearly they referred to the kingdom of grace.
Sins were being pardoned. People were being cleansed and empowered to live as witnesses for Jesus. They were being prepared to inherit the kingdom of glory. They understood that the kingdom of glory was still to come, when Jesus would return in His glory.
Pastor Flemons also explained the term glorified flesh in relation to Bible texts that confirm Jesus was flesh and blood and that Job expected to see God in his flesh. The Apostle Paul refers to glorified flesh as incorruption and immortality. He says that it will happen “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”

Also listen to the recording, which includes Pastor Flemons, singing “The Lord’s Prayer” based on Matthew 6:9-13.]
Wellness: For Health’s Sake The Bible said it first in Proverbs 17:22. Today, Pastor Flemons, a doctor of biblical wellness, repeated it and showed how the medical community is only now catching up. Singing does a heart good. Singing is medicine to overcome depression. Just as the little shepherd boy David was called to play his harp and soothe the depression of King Saul, a study has just concluded that mothers with postpartum depression can recover while singing with their babies.
The health.news article specifically stated this: “The researchers discovered that the recovery of mothers who took singing workshops with symptoms of moderate to severe postpartum depression significantly improved. On the other hand, the speed of recovery of the mothers who took part in creative play workshops were similar to those who received standard-of-care. Past studies suggest that singing allows depressed people to express their emotions and helps them get relaxed.”
“A merry heart doeth good like a medicine,” (Proverbs 17:22).

Words of Encouragement
Psalm 62:5-7 My soul, wait thou only upon God; For my expectation is from him. He only is my rock and my salvation: He is my defence; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory: The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. (Also read DA 413.)
Psalm 84:11, 12 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: The LORD will give grace and glory: No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. O LORD of hosts, Blessed is the man that trusteth in thee. (Also read SC 96.)
