    Let’s hope that Leave Island Any Time doesn’t disappoint them and ruin their conference.

    Man/Woman, is divided into nine forms of manifestations, or modes of existence, or spheres of being spiritually. Religion is regarded as to the common people as true, By the wise as FAKE, and by the RULERS as USEFUL. All the time making one believe that GOD is foreign to the Human entity, not realizing that GOD is the MIND within, covered by the EVILS of DARKNESS,we look every where but within our self. These principles were never taught to us as a people, because of the need to control the mind, yes, the black man/woman is still held captive.Bob D

    Right now I am not a member of any Church denominating; God’s Church is One Great Family, just like Jacob was the Father of 12 Sons, who were made to become the Children of Israel, God’s Family on Earth, at that time–even if those sons had different names.

    But if I am to belong to a denomination, I would not want to belong to any other but the Pentecostal Church, for that is who I am.

    I am glad to know that event is being hosted by our Pentecostal Church in Dominica, blessings for that event all the way to the end.

    I am so happy this is taking place in Dominica.

    People will hear incredible music and singing.

    They will see people so joyful they will wonder if it is right to be this happy over religion. But this is not religion. It is a relationship with the living God through Jesus Christ.

    I expect there will be testimonies from people whose lives were changed when they encountered Christ.

    Best of all the gospel (good news) will be preached by speakers who have experienced its reality. People will hear how they can be saved by simply believing that Jesus Christ died for their sins and rose again the third day according to 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, and Romans 1:16. People who attend such services are often astonished to hear that they can be saved NOW according to 2 Corinthians 6:2, and they can KNOW they are saved according to 1 John 5:11-13.

    Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill.

      In Canada, in the Province of Newfoundland, there was a man who had never heard this good news before.
      He got drunk and attended an evangelistic service. When the preacher said he could KNOW he was saved, yes he could actually KNOW for sure he was going to heaven, something snapped :!: He jumped off his seat and headed to the door so angry he actually tore the door off the hall on the way out. (This is a true story.)

      Today this man is a full time evangelist. He has his own plane and flies to remote places in Northern Canada preaching this wonderful know-so salvation. No longer a slave to alcohol God is using him so set others free!
      I have met his family. They are so happy for the day the gospel reach the shores of an island called Newfoundland.

      Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill.

    HALLELUJAH………Dominica needs a dose of Spiritual vitality. You see that there are hardly any comments!! This is a sign of how far away Dominicans are from God. But had it been a “SEWO” or WCK, this page would be full to the overflow. But as the bible says, “They worship me with their lips; but their hearts are far from me.” Just a few people (among the multitudes) will make it into Heaven.

    He (God) knows how to separate the sheep from the goats. Light is greater than Darkness. Dominica is in TOTAL DARKNESS. But we pray for God’s mercies on our beloved Island – Hope it’s not too late; Because He didn’t spare Sodom and Gomorrah.
