Welcome From Pastor Wayne
At Gilbert Bible School we are motivated by a dream, not just any dream, a dream that God gave me in 2001 that brought a great change to my life. I dreamt that I was in a large city made up with different cultures and as I walked through the city there were people both men and women preaching to crowds of people some small others larger. As I listened to them I could see and hear that they were preaching and teaching out of their experiences, many of them had little or no formal education. I made the statement to myself in the dream that this was a problem going some place to happen. Then a loud voice said to me who will teach them will you? It was at that point I new that The Holy Spirit was calling me back into full time ministry, and within a year had given a complete bible school to our ministry to help complete this task (Gilbert Bible School).
Testimony From Random Student
Gilbert Bible School has been an answer to my prayers. The flexibility of your program allows me to further my education without interfering with my priorities as a husband, father and employee. I’m not very good with computers, but I found the online format to be user-friendly and easy to manage. It gives me the freedom to complete assignments on my own time. My advisor always takes his time with me on the phone and never makes me feel rushed or unimportant. The entire staff is supportive and nurturing. They truly want to see their students reach their full potential in God. – Bob M.
The Destined To Win Devotional
14Acts 19:1, 2 (NIV)
1 While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul took the road through the interior and arrived at
Ephesus. There he found some disciples 2 and asked them, "Did you receive the Holy
Spirit when you believed?" They answered, "No, we have not even heard that there is
a Holy Spirit."
What we need the most in our lives, more than money, more than time, more than
building alliances with this one or that one is a relationship with the Holy Spirit. The
Holy Spirit is able to make a bad marriage work. The Holy Spirit is able to make a business
that is suffering thrive. The Holy Spirit is able to make the most ignorant man wise beyond
their years. The Holy Spirit can empower you to overcome a spirit of laziness. The Holy
Spirit will empower you to overcome a spirit of fear. He is the very gasoline of God.
You can have the best car available but if you've got no gasoline in that tank,
all you are going to do is sit there and look at it. You can get behind the wheel and you
can pretend to drive it. You can tell people about it but you can never drive it and
occasionally you may talk a few friends into pushing you around the block so you can show
people it moves. If you have no gasoline in that tank no matter how finally tuned that
engine, no matter how aerodynamic that body, no matter how plush that interior it's not
going anywhere, yet it has the potential to propel you at great speed to wherever you want
to go. It's just that gasoline problem. So it is with our lives. We need the precious
Holy Spirit.
Now we know something about the Holy Spirit and that is simply this, to engulf our
lives in Him. He is the Spirit of encouragement, Spirit of power, Spirit of illumination
that can show you how you can do what you need to do even if you don't know how to do
it. But there is something that we need to understand and that is the Holy Spirit
doesn't ask for respect, He demands it. Jesus said, "You disrespect Me and
that'll be ok. You disrespect the Father and we can work with that but you disrespect
the Holy Spirit and there will be no forgiveness for that sin. Isn't that powerful?
