First Aid for the Spirit Sr David A Rose

After joining World Overcomers Outreach Ministries Church, in Memphis, Tennessee, my wife and I were required to take thirteen "perfecting classes" for participation in any of the helps ministries. My eyes were literally opened to a whole new world of spiritual understanding after I completed these insightful course requirements. The myth and mystery of Christianity was replaced by wisdom, knowledge and understanding of the gospel that I could use to build and strengthen my faith.

This book was born out of the information I received in these "perfecting classes." As I was studying for these classes, I took a lot of notes. I felt a strong desire to share my new-found wisdom with others, so I decided to transform the notes into this book. The word of God is the foundation of the Christian faith. The stronger the foundation, the more trials, tribulations, and temptations we can endure. Just like a diamond, true perfection is never achieved without tremendous heat and pressure.

I realized that the problems I face were not a punishment from God, but rather, it was him allowing things to happen in order to perfect the faith that lives inside. The more we work on perfecting our faith, the closer we will get to becoming what God created us to be. Just like the "perfecting classes" were the spiritual first aid I need to heal my personal problems, I hope that you can find the same type of healing within the text of this writings as well. God has a divine plan for us all, but that plan requires us to be in good health spiritually in order to hear his voice of instruction which will help us fight the battles of world opposition to come.

May God continue to pour his mercy upon you and let his holy word give you the "First Aid for the Spirit" that will sustain you forever.
