Victory Word Church (VWC) International- Tokyo, Japan
Powerful time in Houston today! Houston Faith Church really rocks! It’s great to see a strong faith church in Texas.
The worship was excellent with a full band (even with Bongos!). People super friendly and loving. When I walked in early, they were praying in the sanctuary before service, with many people walking around.
Outside people were in the cafe fellowshipping. I was warmly greeted. The message was excellent appropriately on faith. Check out the linked vid above.
I’m totally stoked to visit Houston Faith Church in Houston Texas today. Praise God!
They have really grown. They are leading many people to Jesus and teaching them how to have strong faith for daily life.
It’s so cool to visit strong faith churches around the world. Thank you to pastors Chas and Joni for welcoming us! Excited to meet your church family today!
Sixteen Jehovah Titles
“Lord God” in Gen. 2:4 is Yahweh (H3069 ) ’Elohiym (H430 ). This is the first of hundreds of occurrences of this title. It means the self-existent or Eternal Creator, the ’Elohiym in covenant relationship with His people. Yahweh (Jehovah) really means the Eternal, the Immutable One, He who was, and is, and is to come (Gen. 21:33; Ex. 3:13-14; 6:3; Ps. 83:18; Isa. 12:2; 26:4; Rev. 1:4). The name Jehovah is combined with other words which form what we know as the Jehovah titles:
(Dake Study Bible Notes)
“Therefore, the LORD, the God of Israel, says: I promised that your branch of the tribe of Levi would always be my priests. But I will honor those who honor me, and I will despise those who think lightly of me.
–1 Samuel 2:30 (NLT)
This one hits you. If you want respect, honor, attention… you’d better honor the one who really deserves it first.

Micah 3:8-10
But truly I am full of power by the Spirit of the LORD,
And of justice and might,
To declare to Jacob his transgression
And to Israel his sin.
Now hear this,
You heads of the house of Jacob
And rulers of the house of Israel,
Who abhor justice
And pervert all equity,
Who build up Zion with bloodshed
And Jerusalem with iniquity:
John 3:6-8
That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
