    About this ebook

    This book is a written version of my first sermon. It is not a story or an autobiography, so please do not read it as such. It is simply the preached word written in a simple manner for easy reading.
    As you read it, think of actually being in church and hearing me preach. No, I did not preach this whole book, but I did preach on every subject matter that you will read later on in Galatians chapter 5.
    When I was a little girl, we played a game called hide-and-seek. Several people could hide in this game at one time, but only one person could seek. The person that was chosen to seek was called IT. Everyone else would hide. As everyone was running to find a hiding place, IT was counting to ten. One, two, three, four, five. And to make the game a little more fun, or to make you worry a little bit, IT would say, Five, five and a half, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. You had about ten seconds to find a place to hide. After IT reached the number 10, he or she would cry with a loud voice,

    READY OR NOT, HERE I COME!

    Believe me, Jesus will return one day whether youre ready or not.
    I trust you will be blessed by this word.

      CONGRATULATIONS

      Gad,

      Congratulations on this new ministry.

      Therefore, my beloved, be steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the lord, for as mush as you know that your labor is not in vain in the lord.

      (1st Corinthians 15:58)

      You are truly an inspiration to me, for a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

      Our home is blessed with your loving touch. We appreciate you for always giving of yourself and sacrificing much for us.

      How do I say thank you to someone who is a part of every dream I have?

      God Bless!

      YOU GO GIRL!

      LOVE,

      YOUR HUSBAND

      BISHOP ROBERT GATHERS, JR.

      TO MY SISTER

      Oh, magnify the Lord with me, let us exalt His name together because the more we praise Him, the more He blesses us!

      Congratulations on the success of your book! I always knew you could do it. Keep up the good work and continue to rely on your true strength, the Lord God Almighty!

      Love always,

      Your Lil Sis

      Marline Cynthia Robinson

      To Gwen,

      The more you write, the more God will bless you. May your writing touch the hearts of those who read it. Sermons from God are messages to His people. May we take heed to what the Holy Spirit has to say.

      Congratulations on your wonderful success.

      Love always, your little adopted Sister

      Qwanteria Pamela Marie Hall

      A note from the Author

      I would like to thank God for inspiring me to write this small, but powerful book, The Preached Word. I hope it will encourage you in your daily walk with God. If you’re not walking with God, I’m sure you will be thinking about it seriously before you’re through reading this book.
