MY BROTHER On Wednesday morning I called my brother, William Harvey Wyatt at the Winn Parish Medical Center, Room 154. I asked him how was he doing? He said "Oh pretty good." He began to tell me some of his health problems. We talked about an hour. We began a discussion about the Lord. He told me that he prayed every day and the Lord had given him a REVELATION. I knew from talking to him that he had changed. We talked about getting the HEART right. For you see out of the heart comes your outer behavior. We discussed what should first come out; envy, jealousy, bitterness, malice, strife, a carnal mind, hard heart, sadness, depression and oppression. The God will create in you a clean heart of love, joy, peace and forgiveness. You won't be two-faced; one person in public and another in private; good one day and evil the next. For God sees all and he knows all. He told me he wanted to do the right thing and he had asked God to forgive him for his sins. I believe God heard his prayer. Mary L. Frazier I'm sure we are all here to mourn him for different reasons, but thank you for coming to express and share with us at this special time. Thank you for whatever part you have played, make like kindness be returned to you too fold by our Lord God Almighty. Let us all renew our relationship with God. Let us live the life that Christ wants us to live according to Acts 2:38-39. Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, everyone of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off for all whom the Lord our God will call we can all find comfort in Matt 5:3-12. Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are they that mourn, For they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst for righteousness for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called sons of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted Because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
