Words of Faith

Our Heavenly Father speaks to and through Jeremiah when He says, "You have well seen.  I watch over my Word to perform it." What a joy there is in knowing that God watches over His Word to perform it. The imperative for us, as the creation of God, is to know what God has said and is saying at every passing moment. What God says informs us not only of His will for our lives, but should also increase our faith to live, move and have our being according to God's divine leading.

In 2007, the Lord impressed upon the hearts of Stephanie and I to begin writing Words of Faith - devotionals designed to encourage the people of God who we served as pastors of Faith Works Christian Fellowship. We were only able to see part of the picture as we moved by faith. To our surprise, God had intended our devotional emails to later serve as blogs, and eventually as eBooks to impact the lives of people across America, and around the world - all within the digital space.

We are excited to publish the second edition of Words of Faith in print, and we hope that as the seed of God's Word is impressed upon your heart, that you will water it through your reflection and application to your lives. May God bring forth a harvest as your faith is increased, as you share it with others, and as you walk with confidence toward the things the Lord has called you to do.

By Faith,
Pastor Emery B. Barber

Emery & Stephanie Barber are the pastors of Shepherd's House OBC, East New York, and founders of FaithWorks Christian Center, an online ministry of resources for the Kingdom to infuse hope with the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
