Laying Hold of Christ

FEATURE RCW JAndrews150Rhema College Weekend Instructor Highlight

//JIM ANDREWS

he greatest battle I've fought hasn't been with financial needs or sickness and disease. The greatest battle I have fought has been to maintain my hold on Christ as my everything. Why? Because the tendency is for us to substitute something else for Christ. It could be our confession of the Word, our prayer life, or reading the Bible. Those things are good, but when we begin to substitute them for what Christ has already done, we're getting into trouble.

The Devil Made Me Do It

TIMELESS TEACHINGS

//KENNETH E. HAGIN

Some things that folks attribute to the devil are really nothing more than works of the flesh. It is important to realize that everything that's wrong in life is not directly the work of an evil spirit.

When the Bible talks about keeping the flesh under the dominion of the spirit, too many times folks think that only refers to keeping sexual desires under control. Well, it's true you'll have to keep your body under subjection in that area. But did you ever notice what else the Bible lists as works of the flesh or the old-man nature?

Rockets Over Rhema

An Unforgettable Patriotic Celebration

More than 60,000 people came out to Rockets Over Rhema
this year to celebrate America's freedom. The festivities opened with an original patriotic musical, Route 66: The Red, White, and Blue Tour, staged in the Rhema Bible Church auditorium. The audience followed the adventures of three musical acts "touring" America by bus in the 1950s. Toes tapped along as the cast sang songs honoring the United States and sharing a bit of its history. The cast and their audience made several stops along the historic highway. One was at the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, marking America's western expansion. Another was at a Civil War cemetery to honor the brave soldiers who fought in that terrible conflict.

No Time To Retire

SPECIAL REPORT: MISSIONS

//KATHIE FLEMING

After 35 years in ministry, 74-year-old Kathie Fleming is still going strong. "I've come to the decision," she says, "that I'm not going to retire. I feel so good. I believe the life of God is so big in us that it keeps us young!"

Traveling 45,000 miles a year wasn't something Kathie planned on doing after graduating from Rhema Bible Training College in 1979 with her husband, Dave. The Flemings first worked in local churches. In 1981, when an opportunity to pioneer a church in Okmulgee, Oklahoma, opened up, they jumped on it.

However, eight short years after the church started, Dave was diagnosed with advanced renal cell carcinoma. Kathie's world was suddenly rocked when a few weeks later, he died.
