Wisdom to Overcome
Temptations, Trials & Tests
By Dr. Betty R. Price
In this excerpt from her new
book, Dr. Betty outlines how
temptation is not the sin.
Rather, it is what happens
after the temptation comes
that can cause the sin. She
offers encouragement to
Believers to overcome any-
thing if they choose to do
what God says in His Word.

His temptations, trials and tests. The key is to submit to

God. How do we submit to God? We submit by doing
the Word. I said earlier that in the Word there is a solu-
tion or an answer for every problem we face in life. For
instance, the temptation to do drugs and drink alcohol is
against the body. The Word says your body is the temple
of the Holy Spirit, so if you want to be free of that temp-
tation, then you have to choose to honor the temple and
not put anything in your body that would hurt or destroy
it. Jesus chose not to yield to temptation. In fact, apart
from Jesus Christ, it is difficult to overcome temptation,
because when you’re a sinner you don’t have much control
over what you do. Resisting the devil is a full-time job,
because he is never going to stop coming at you. If you
don’t resist him and the thoughts he brings to your mind,
those thoughts will eventually end up influencing your
body.

Temptations first come to our minds, and many
Christians think they have to yield to them. “Well, I
thought it, so I should just as well do it,” they reason. No,
this is where discipline comes in—discipline to do the
Word rather than yielding to the thought. If we would
submit to the instructions of the Bible, then we would not
find ourselves in these situations. Jesus said in Matthew
26:41: “Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation….”
Hebrews 4:15 tells us that Jesus was “in all points tempted
as we are, yet without sin.” That means, then, that Jesus
was tempted to gossip, lie, steal, fornicate, and do all the
other negative things that we are tempted to do. Yet He
didn’t do them, because if he had this scripture would
not be true. Jesus did not commit sin. He did not
yield to the temptation, and that means we don’t have
to yield to temptation either because Jesus is our
example. Keep in mind that Jesus wasn’t sinless
because He is God. He didn’t come to earth as God. He
came as man, a man subject to all the negativities of
mankind. He chose not to sin or to yield to the tempta-
tions that presented themselves to Him. This means that
since He operated in a sinless manner, He knows we can
do the same. And we can. It is just a matter of choice.
James 4:7 tells us: “Submit to God. Resist the devil
and he will flee from you.” That is how Jesus overcame

was really no excuse because whether you are into

this man was married and had a wonderful family.
She knew he had a good life with his wife. They had
money coming in, drove nice cars, business doing
well, everything going well. This younger woman
saw this and set her eyes on this man. She was the
type who would go with married men and think
nothing of it. She kept after this guy until she got
him to notice her. They began a hot affair, and he
ended up leaving his wife. While the affair was
going on, this woman would call the wife, curse her
out, and say all kinds of mean things to her. She
actually got the man to marry her, but the marriage
was never a happy one. The child born from this
union never had a happy day in his life. In fact, in his
later years he was sent to prison. Now the woman,
his mother, is calling on the Lord for help.
God can only do so much when we plant the
seed of sin in our lives, because those seeds are
going to come up, and we will have to pay the price.

Walking In Wisdom
By Antracia Moorings
This year marks the 30th year of the Wisdom From Above
Luncheon that Dr. Betty Price started after the women of Crenshaw
Christian Center wanted to hear from her and glean from the wisdom
that she’d gained over the years.
Hearing Dr. Betty speak, it’s hard to imagine that there was ever a
time when the thought of getting up in front of a crowd frightened her.
“When we first got called to ministry, I thought I would be a back-
ground person,” she points out. “I didn’t really care about being out front.
When you are a pastor’s wife people want you to speak. We went to
Australia and they would not let me get out of speaking. I remember
telling my husband, ‘you better have something to back me up because
I’m only going to last 20 minutes.’ Then when I began to talk, it lasted a
whole hour. I’m surprised myself that I could talk that much because I’m
very quiet. But I’ve tried to keep the Word inside of me.
“Mainly the way I teach is by example about how the Word has
worked in our lives. It has become very easy. But I never thought I
would be doing this. I love church and the Word of God. I just wanted
to be in the background—maybe helping to cook and clean.”
Needless to say, women would have missed out had Dr. Betty
stayed in the background. With more than 50 years of marriage behind
her and having raised God-fearing children, Dr. Betty knows that living
by the Word works—and it’s a message that she wants both men and
women to grab a hold of.
“I’ve lived the life and I’ve seen God move so it’s easy to share the
things that I have experienced,” she notes. “I’ve experienced them
because of the Word—and all the things I’ve gone through raising the
kids, that life-threatening situation (with cancer)—I used the Word on
all of that. Our financial blessings all came because of the Word. We did
what God said and we saw it come to pass. We know that God is not a
respecter of persons, what He’s done in our lives, He’ll do it in any one’s
life who will apply the Word. Obey the Word and then you’ll get the
results. A lot of people want results without obeying the Word. So that’s
why it’s become easy for me and nobody can talk me out of it because I’ve
been in it too long.”—EIF
The Price children were asked what one piece of wisdom their mother,
Dr. Betty R. Price shared with them that they consider priceless. Here’s
what they had to share:

power of faith testimony

By Sharon Mayo

I
n August of 2007, I found a copy of Apostle Fred
Price’s original book version of How Faith
Works. It was located amongst the trash at a
transitional housing facility where I was living
at the time. Someone had thrown out many
books, and I retrieved two boxes of spiritual books. I
chose to read How Faith Works first as I was very famil-
iar with Apostle Price from watching him on television
over the years.
As I read the book, it was like a light bulb came on. I
was totally transformed from that point on and I set my
heart to follow God. I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt
that my life would never be the same. I began reading the
Bible and praying as never before. I finally got what I had
been seeking from the time that I received Christ in 1978.
Before I read the book, I’d had it with life. It didn’t
get to the point where I wanted to end it, but I was total-
ly frustrated. It seemed that nothing was working out for
me, and I was preparing to move out of state just for a
change. I was tired and felt like I
couldn’t take any more. Little did I
know that my life was about to be As I read the

of 2007. In January 2008, after I God.
had been looking for an apartment
for quite a while, one of my co-
workers phoned me and asked me if I was still looking for an apart-
ment. I told her yes and she offered me the number of an apartment
she had seen near the church. I wrote the number down on a yellow
Post-It note and called the number several times. I also went there to
try to view the apartment. I could not find the apartment nor could I
reach anyone at the number. After a while, I just forgot about it.
In June, the Pastoral Office received a summer
hire and my supervisor asked me to retrieve the staff
handbook from my desk for her to read regarding pro-
cedures. I took down the handbook and stuck to it was
the same yellow Post-It note from January with the
phone number for the apartment.
I was surprised. I thought I had thrown that the
number away. Nevertheless, for some reason I was led to
call the number. I asked the person on the other line if
they had had an apartment for rent near the church in
January. The lady said yes but that the apartment had been
rented for months. But the lady said she had other properties
and told me about one in the Crenshaw district.
We made arrangements for me to see the apartment
and it was absolutely beautiful. The apartment was burned
out in a fire in December of 2007 and had been completely
restored. It had been vacant since February of 2008. The
lady said to me, “I have a good feeling about you.” She said
she would let me know something the following
Wednesday. I did not hear back until Thursday when her
husband left a message saying I did not qualify for the apart-
ment.
After hearing the message, I said to God, “You said that
You would give me Your best and if that apartment was not
Your best, I can’t wait to see the palace that You are going to
give me.”
Less than an hour later, the phone rang again. This time it
was the lady. She told me that she was not in agreement with her
husband about not letting me have the apartment and that she was
behind me 100%, but that she could not go against her husband.
She instructed me to phone him the next evening and tell him why
I thought I would be a good tenant. I did just that and he said that
I could have the apartment.
I knew that all of this could only be God’s favor. I have been
studying, praying and reading the “Favor Confession” over and
over. I believe every-
thing that God says. I
look forward to even
greater things as my
faith increases. I am
so happy that I have
finally gotten this
right. I know that
reading “How Faith
Works” set me on a new
path that I will follow for
the rest of my life.—EIF

from the headlines
By Pat Hays
“I
ve never been one who desired or sought after any special
attention or fanfare, rather, my primary motivation for
everything I do since making Jesus my Savior and
Lord, is to please my heavenly Father,” said Apostle
Designee, Dr. Frederick K.C. Price. These
words were spoken at the annual FICWFM
business meeting regarding his apostolic affirmation that took
place at the conclusion of this year’s convention. “I love what I
do and I would pay God to let me do it. I’ve always worked
hard at being a diligent doer of the Word. The Bible tells us
in Matt. 5:16: ‘…Let your light so shine before men, that they
may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.’
This is the goal and drive of my existence.”
This yearly coming together of pastors and their con-
gregations has taken place for the past 18 years, and it is a par-
ticularly exciting time for the membership of Crenshaw
Christian Center. “ I believe that as a result of my commit-
ment to the Word, others in the Body took special note of
the apostolic ministry in which I been have engaged for a
considerable number of years, and in July 2007 they
launched the beginning of a truly awesome yet hum-
bling period in my life,” Dr. Price informed the con-
gregation. It was at the 2007 FICWFM convention
that the title “Apostle of Faith” was bestowed upon
him, and the “Year of the Apostle” declared.
“Little could I have known in
accepting the call of God 55 years ago
to preach the Gospel that my heaven-
ly Father would bring me to this
moment in time,” said Dr. Price in
thanking the FICWFM members for
deciding to make the 2008 convention
“Apostle Affirmation Week.”
Instead of “business as usual,”
this convention week hosted a schedule
of special activities and guest speakers,
culminating in the public affirmation of Dr. Price as an
Apostle in accordance with Ephesians 4:11 in a cere-
mony uniquely geared to this to occasion.
The following are some highlights of the activi-
ties which took place during the 2008 convention ses-
sions:
MONDAY EVENING, JULY 21:
“Apostle of Faith” Library Fund Raiser --
Dinner and Concert. Guest Artist: CeCe
Winans:
This fundraiser was held at the Beverly
10 EVER INCREASING FAITH MAGAZINE Fall 2008
Wilshire Hotel, in the heart of Beverly Hills. Approximately 500 guests
enjoyed a sumptuous $250-plate dinner. The proceeds from this event are
to go towards the building of an “Apostle of Faith” library on the grounds
of Crenshaw Christian Center in Los Angeles. The library was intro-
duced at the 2006 convention by Bishop Wiley Jackson, FICWFM
board member and founder of Gospel Tabernacle Church in Atlanta,
Georgia. Schematic drawings were presented by Bishop Jackson at
the 2007 convention. “Effective preparation for a library is an enor-
mous undertaking, and it takes time, careful planning and financing.
Preliminary plans and schematics have been drawn up, and initial plan-
ning (through private donations) has begun,” said FICWFM
Executive Director Cheryl Price.
TUESDAY, JULY 22:
At the afternoon business meeting, members were informed
of the financial status of the organization, the missionary projects
that are supported by FICWFM, and the other necessary expen-
ditures that are required to operate the organization. Dr. Price
re-introduced Dr. Michael Freeman, executive vice presi-
dent, and founder of Spirit of Faith Christian Center in
Temple Hills, Maryland. Dr. Price informed the mem-
bers that Dr. Freeman would be assuming more respon-
sibility for the operation of the organization and would be
considered the second in command only to him. One of
Dr. Freeman’s primary duties will be the establishing of a
credit union on the grounds of CCC to be operational by
convention time 2009.

The convention officially began with opening cere-

WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, AND FRIDAY MORNING AND
AFTERNOON SESSIONS:
In keeping with the purpose and theme of this
year’s convention, Dr. Price was asked to minister at all
morning and afternoon teaching sessions on
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, particularly
addressing the subjects of faith, healing, and prosperity, for
EIFFall_08 10/22/08 11:38 PM Page 11
which he has attained world-wide recognition.
Wednesday Evening – Guest Speaker, Bishop
Charles Blake
Guest Psalmist: Mary, Mary:
Dr. Charles Blake, Presiding Bishop and
Chief Apostle of the Church of God in Christ with
6.5 million members internationally was the
Wednesday evening speaker. Bishop Blake is also
Pastor of the dynamic West Angeles Church of God
in Christ situated in Los Angeles with more than
12,000 members. Said Bishop Blake: “This is a glorious week, and I
would not have missed this time even though I had to cross the country in
order to get back here in time for this special occasion. Dr. Price is a vision-
ary leader and he has been a primary proponent of what some call the ‘faith
movement.’ His teaching ministry on faith has impacted the lives of all
races, particularly people of color. He is a man of known integrity and
excellence, and he has been a proven role-model for others to follow. We
can only honor what God has already done in conferring this apostleship
on Dr. Price.”
Of those expressing congratulations and good wishes to Drs. Prices
via video-taped messages during the evening meetings were: Rev. Oral
Roberts, Rev. Kenneth Hagin, Jr., Dr. Creflo Dollar, and Bishop Eddie
Long.
Thursday Evening – Guest Speaker: Dr. Jack Hayford
Guest Psalmist: Dr. Helen Baylor with special appearance by Vicki
Winans
Dr. Jack Hayford, President of Foursquare Church (with 55,000
churches worldwide) was the Thursday evening speaker. Using Matthew
12:9-14, Dr. Hayford spoke on the touch of Jesus, and said to Dr. Price,
“You have the same qualities displayed by Jesus in these verses.”
(800) 391-6145
Addressing the Price family, Dr. Hayford said: “I know
you are proud of this occasion for your parents, but it also
says something about you.” Speaking directly to Dr.
Price, Dr. Hayford continued: “The confirming of the
apostleship upon you is a testimony as to the depth of
your character, and the depth of the Holy Spirit working
in your life and ministry, and I echo the feelings that have
been expressed this evening regarding your apostleship
affirmation.”
FRIDAY EVENING:
APOSTLE’S AFFIRMATION SERVICE
This very solemn and holy, yet joyful evening began in a closed cere-
mony in the Fellowship Center of Crenshaw Christian Center. In atten-
dance at this Induction Ceremony were the ordaining bishops,
FICWFM board of directors, the Price family, CCC board members,
and other pastors and ministers. This ceremony was to sign and seal the
necessary documents confirming Dr. Price’s apostleship. Following this
ceremony, the group proceeded to the FaithDome for the main service.
In the FaithDome, there was a sense of excitement and an air of great
expectancy as the crowds filled the seats. There was no doubt that the
CCC members were very pleased and happy to see this day come for their
pastor, who has for more than 30 years impacted so many lives with his
ministry of the Word, teaching by precept and example of what it means
“to walk by faith and not by sight.”
In this very special ceremony on Friday, July 25, 2008, Dr. Frederick
K.C. Price, Pastor of Crenshaw Christian Center was affirmed to be “The
Apostle of Faith” and was presented with the Apostle’s ring, symbolizing
his authority, and the shepherd’s staff, symbolizing his shepherd’s office, in
service to almighty God and His people. —EIF

you are helping to make it happen
By Ephiel Mukamuri
T
hen shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come,
ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for
you from the foundation of the world: For I was an hun-
gered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me
drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye
clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came
unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw
we thee an hungered and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When
saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or
when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King
shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye
have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it
unto me. (Matthew 25:34-40)
Zimbabwe has a population of 14 million people. Over 4 million are
in the diaspora. Official statistics peg the inflation rate in Zimbabwe,
which is the highest in the world, at 11.2 million percent. However, inde-
pendent sources estimate the inflation rate at above 50 million percent.
The unemployment rate is over 80% and a third of the population is in
critical need of food aid.
Most people are living with an introspective, personal survival atti-
tude. But such is not the case with Ephiel and Elna Mukamuri and The
Logos Rhema Ministries which they lead. In 2004 they started the
Joseph Project which is a benevolent outreach of their church. The Lord
moved their bowels of compassion after they came face to face with the
reality of people suffering from poverty in their church. Ephiel Mukamuri
ministers God’s uncompromised word on faith and prosperity; but like
the Apostle Paul he radically believes in faith which works by love (Gal
5:6). He also believes the words of Jesus that the poor you will always
have with you.
Since 2004 they had been supporting the Harare Children’s Home.
This home has 85 orphaned and vulnerable children. The persistent harsh
economy in Zimbabwe has not spared this home such that in the first
quarter of 2008 the committee running the home invited Logos Rhema
Ministries into formal partnership. Ephiel Mukamuri is now one of the
trustees and Logos Rhema has spiritual oversight over the children.
14 EVER INCREASING FAITH MAGAZINE Fall 2008
Harare Children’s Home sits on 15 acres of prime land. Almost 10
acres is vacant land. Logos Rhema Ministries is coordinating the setting
up of income generating projects on this land; hence the Greenhouse
Project.
The Lord has already provided greenhouse tomato seeds. Once the
greenhouse project takes off the children will benefit through hands on
agricultural exposure, fresh food supplies and financial support from sales
of produce.
This project needs the support of God’s children through prayers,
finance, equipment and visits of those who have great expertise in green-
house vegetable farming.
The project will cost approximately $41,016. Below are the things
that Ephiel and Elna and Logos Rhema Ministries are trusting the Lord
for to effectively get the project running:
• a security wall
• sinking of a well/ borehole
• water pump
• reservoir tank
• electric standby generator
• timber
• greenhouse plastic
• drip irrigation equipment
• cucumber and carrot seeds
• truck
God’s Word says; he that gives to the poor lends to the Lord, and
the Lord will pay him back (He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto
the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again Pro
19:17.) The Lord has great promises for those who consider the poor
(Psalms 41: 1-3). One of the poorest and most vulnerable persons is the
orphaned and abandoned child. The Lord has given us a mandate of love
to help such.—EIF

THE HOLY LAND
TOUR WITH
DRS. FRED & BETTY PRICE
By Gertrude Bradley
In June 2008, Drs. Fred and Betty Price
hosted an inspirational tour of the Holy
Land. Tour participants witnessed spectacu-
lar panoramic vistas, sparkling brooks and
lush landscapes. Israel’s multicultural envi-
ronment is rich with innate beauty, history
and refined cuisines. The historic sites and
remains are captivating and spiritually con-
nect you to a country that cultivates a lifetime
of amazing memories.
Dr. Price taught the Word at some of the
many memorable sites like Caesarea, the
Garden Tomb, the Mt. of Olives, and the
newly excavated Pool of Siloam to name a
few. It was exhilarating to walk paths that
were once journeyed by Jesus and to put into
perspective the physical realities that our
Lord faced. It was sobering to stand on the
banks of the River Jordan, ride in a boat on
the Sea of Galilee and float in the Dead Sea
with a biblical understanding of how signifi-
cant these bodies of water were to Jesus’ life
and ministry.
The journey to Israel was a dream-come-true
for some, a land revisited for others, and the
tour of a lifetime for many. Ever Increasing
Faith Ministries plans a return tour to Israel
in 2010. Start making plans now to be part of
a life changing experience, you will not
return the same.

When the doctors couldn’t find
anything wrong, we went to the
oncologist. One of the doctors that
was helping us was in league with the
doctor that had been Betty’s oncolo-

very concerned because the symp-
toms sounded like cancer.

have been accused of stuff over the years—that never fazed me in
the least because opinions don’t mean anything. But ABC put
this big, bold-face lie on worldwide television that made me look
like a crook.
This hit me so hard that it affected me physically. I started
having night sweats. I would wake up about three times a night
just wringing wet. So I went to the doctor, but they didn’t
know what was wrong. I had this terrible cough. I did-
n’t realize the source was spiritual, but it was man-

When the oncologist called to give me the results of the tests
he was very apologetic. He said, “we are not exactly sure what it
is. It could be two things—cancer or an infectious disease.”
Looking back, I see now that at that point is when the devil shot
a dart—bang. My immune system shut down.
“If it is cancer, based on the symptoms,” the doctor said, “You
may have 4 to 6 years to live.” Four to six years? No I’ve got too
much to do, I thought to myself.
I couldn’t sleep. Some nights I would just be up the whole
night. I was praying in the spirit, out of the spirit, with the spirit,
by the spirit. Hey, I pulled out all of the stops. I did all the stuff I
knew. Meantime, I never missed a Sunday, any appointments or
cancelled any speaking engagements.
The oncologist wasn’t sure what it was so he sent me to a doc-
tor who was a world specialist in infectious diseases. They
thought it might have been Legionnaire’s disease or something
similar. But he said the only way we they were going to really find
out was to give me a bone marrow test.
After the test, we had to return to the hospital to get the
results. The doctor looked up at me and said, “Well you have
tuberculosis.” I said, “What?” He said, “you have TB and the
only protocol that we know that works is a prescribed med-

tion, “how many of you are living at a

M

over the years and it wasn’t an accident. It
was diligence to follow protocol. II
Corinthians 9:6, “But this I say, he who
sows sparingly will also reap sparingly.”
Now it is not written in there, but it is
implied. He that sows nothing will reap also nothing. So if
you don’t like what you have been receiving, check up on what
you have been sowing because it is the sowing that causes the
harvest.
Verse six says, “But this I say, he who sows sparingly will
reap also sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also reap
bountifully.” The ball is in our court. I love it because at one
time I thought it was all up to God. On the contrary, the bless-
ing plan is already in operation, but it has to be initiated by us.
God set up the system to work, but we initiate the system. We
cause it to work or not to work. Not Father God.
Verse six continues, “….so let each one give as he purpos-
es in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity for God loves a
cheerful giver,” meaning a happy and hilarious giver. Verse
eight says, “And God is able.” Oh yes, Hallelujah, Praise the
Lord, the Lord is able. I heard that for 17 years as a Christian,
“God is able.” While God was able they were repossessing my
car and TV. I was in court declaring bankruptcy—the
Apostle—bankrupt.
The fact that God is able does not change your cir-
cumstances. We don’t even have to discuss
it—it is a foregone conclusion that if God is
God He is able. Watch this now. Verse
eight, “And God is able to make all grace

—Corinthians 9:6 never get to the rest of the verse:
“having abundance for every good
work.” See you don’t do the good
work with your house note, rent or utility payments. The
good work has to come from the abundance.
Malachi 3:8 says “Will a man rob God?” A robber is a per-
son who takes something from someone else that doesn’t
belong to him. If God, the Father says, “Will a man rob God,”
and the people say, how? The Father says in “tithes and offer-
ings.” That must mean that the tithes always belonged to
Him. You couldn’t rob God of something that didn’t belong
to Him. Right?
God says because you have robbed Him;
“You are cursed with a curse.” “Bring all the
tithes into the storehouse that there may be
food (or meat) in my house and prove me
now in this.” “Prove me now in this.” In
what? In tithing.

Parents! Be Wise!

t a summer pool party, I met a friend’s col- office.”

I lege-freshman daughter for the first time. As

our conversation drifted to boys and life on
the college campus, I seized the opportunity
to tell her about a book I was reading.
Naked Truth by LaKita Garth, is written in
down-to-earth language and the author
leaves no stone unturned as she explains to teens how
to make the right decisions to remain sexually pure.
As this young lady and I continued to talk, she
mentioned that her doctor had recommended she take
the HPV vaccination to guard against cervical cancer
caused by the human papillomavirus. Her mother and
I were both alarmed to learn that never once did the
doctor explain that the virus is only contracted through
sexual activity. This young lady thought that HPV was
the inevitable fate for all women, virgins included.
Young women of color are often targeted for exper-
imental tests and fertility related services. Parents must
be wise about what’s going on college campuses—and
elementary, junior high, and high schools. To inform
you, I share the following excerpt from Keeping Your
Kids Sexually Pure: A How-To Guide for Parents,
Pastors, Youth Workers and Teachers

research.
When the bell rang, 50 sixth-grade girls in East
Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania lined up for class expecting
to learn their reading, writing, and arithmetic. With

securely tucked under their arms, eyes eager with inno-
cent anticipation.

class piled into the room throughout the morning, only
a few of the girls became slightly alarmed when they
noticed that the door was locked behind them.

SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH CENTERS
Clinics on public school grounds are called
School-Based Health Centers (SBHCs) or (SBCs).
The term, clinic, is not preferred by those who pro-
mote clinics. They prefer the more palatable term health center.
Some clinics are not located directly on school grounds, but since
they are strategically very close—usually within a block or two—they
are called School-Linked Clinics (SLCs) or School-Linked Health
Centers (SLHCs).

chosocial evaluations—mental health tests—again with-
out their parents’ notification or consent. The “results”
from these tests are placed into students’ school files and can follow
them throughout the rest of their years in the educational system.
And while regular school nurses cannot give students an aspirin
without their parents’ consent, nurses and doctors in these health
clinics can even prescribe mental health drugs if their psychosocial
evaluation so indicates.

PARENTS, BE WISE! Ask if your child’s school has a school-

their parents’ permission can be taken to the clinic, examined, “eval-
uated”, and prescribed medications. Clinic staff also have the right
to transport students off-campus during school hours for abor-
tions—all without parental knowledge or consent. Nurses and doc-
tors in these clinics are immune to otherwise restrictive laws govern-

Q&A with Drs. Fred and Betty Price

I want to become a student of the Bible. What is the best way to study the Bible?
A - While it is important for you to know
how to study, you must first understand what
study is. There is a tremendous difference
between just reading and actually studying the
scriptures. Reading is a survey – an overview
to become familiar with the content. Studying
is to examine IN DEPTH and begin to
explore every little facet of the material.
I encourage you to continue reading
through the New Testament to the Book of
Revelation. Then go back and read through
the entire New Testament again several times.
This will familiarize you with the content and
purpose of each of the books.
You need to develop your own individual
study plan. There is no right or wrong plan.
The best time and method for study is entirely
dependent upon you and your daily habits. I
do suggest that you designate a particular area
as your study place. After awhile, just going to
that area helps prepare you to get into the
Word.
Begin every study time with prayer (see
Psalm 119:18).
I really don’t have a formal study procedure
other than what I call my MINIMUM
DAILY REQUIREMENT in which I read
five chapters in the Bible every day, mostly out
of the New Testament (although I do read
from the Old Testament regularly). I do that
simply to keep my eyes, my mind, and my spir-
it exposed to the Word.
You should take advantage of some of the
good study helps available today. There are
many good books that can be helpful to you in
rightly dividing the Word and making your
study time more fruitful. Get a good concor-
dance such as Strong’s Exhaustive
Concordance or Young’s Analytical
Concordance. In the back of those books are
listed many Hebrew and Greek words along
with their original meanings. Also, another
excellent book for laymen is W.E. Vine’s
Expository Dictionary of New Testament
Words. This book has all the Greek-word lists
that most students of the Bible need.

the bizness
J
By Pastor Fred Price, Jr.
ohn 1:1 says,
“In the beginning was
the Word and the Word
was with God and the
Word was God.”
Then it goes on to let us know that the Word became a per-
son—became flesh. It says, “All things were made through Him
and nothing that was made…” In other words the Word was
instrumental in the things that were made.
I like to distinguish the difference between the Logos and the
Rhema. The Logos is the Christ—the Person—the spiritual per-
sonality being second in command as the Godhead. Then we
also have the Rhema, which is the utterance—the speaking. That
is how the worlds were framed—by the Rhema Word of God.
We are going to take a slightly different turn today on the
Word. Isaiah 55:11 says, “So shall My word be that goes forth from
My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish
what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.”
Now I am going to pick up the first part of this verse because it
reminds me of Hebrews 11:6 which says, “For without faith it is
impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe
that He is, and that He is a rewarder…” Before you believe that
He is a rewarder, you must first believe that He is. Notice what it
says in verse 11. First, before it says anything about the Word, it
first says, “So shall My word be.” I looked up ‘be’ and I found
some synonyms for ‘be’ and one of the synonyms for ‘be’ was exist.
But it says, “So shall My word be.” His Word is. Before we move
on to anything else, His word is—His word be. Are you with me?
He says, “That goes from My mouth.” He says, it shall not return
to Me empty. It shall not return to me void. That is what lets you
know that something strange took place in the beginning because
if the Earth was without form and void that had nothing to do
with the Word of God, because when God’s Word goes forth it

does not return to Him void. Something else happened to
cause the void and without form.
Something happened between Genesis 1:1 and
Genesis 1:2 because the end result of God’s Word could-
n’t be something that is void when His Word shall not
return to Him void. It says, “It shall accomplish what I
please.” “And, it shall prosper in the thing.” That is what I like
about the Word because now it is letting me know that we can
deal with specifics here. I can send the Word to something. Not
a general thing, but it is talking about specifics now. It will pros-
per in the thing which I sent it. All of you have some things that
you need to put the Word on. So shall my Word ‘be’. It shall not
return to Me void. It will accomplish what He pleases and it will
prosper in the thing for which He sent it.
Now children of God, you have the authority to use the Word
of God. In Psalm 103:20 it says, “His angels, who excel in
strength.” Notice it does not say, heeding His voice. It does not
say that they excel in strength and they heed His voice. It says,
“they excel in strength…heeding the voice of His word.” So angels
move when they hear the Word regardless of whether the Word
comes from the Father, the Son, the Spirit, or the seed of
Abraham. If the seed of Abraham uses the Word that we have
been given the right, privilege and authority to use, angels have to
move. They don’t move because you tell them to. They don’t
move and just do what you say because you want them to do
whatever, but they move when they hear the Word, whether it
comes down from heaven or out of your mouth.
We Christians are post-Cross and not pre-Cross. We have a
better covenant established on better promises. The Old
Testament saints probably would say, “The word of the Lord
came to me.” The Word of the Lord was in my heart. They
would say, “This is what the Lord says.” This is what the Lord
said would come to pass and the Lord would back it up. There is
something about knowledge and understanding of the Word so
that whatever God says, it ‘be’. I know that it ‘is’.
Look at Isaiah 55:10, “For as the rain comes down and the
snow from heaven, and do not return there…” I hope you see the
connection. “But water the earth, and make it bring forth and
bud, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater.”
When the rain and snow drop they don’t go back, they prosper in
the thing for which they were sent SO SHALL MY WORD
BE.—EIF
