President’s Message To the Yahweh’s Messengers Class of 2014, You have chosen the name Yahwehs’s Messengers. What a claim…you must have pondered about it four years ago and probably it already sunk deep in your soul and spirit, or did it just dawn on you. Four years later, the seriousness of that claim. No wonder one of your posted on Facebook, “after bethel, what?” Whatever it is, you have faced the reality of it. You are already marked. You are already branded. Before the Lord and everybody else, you are Yahweh’s Messengers. As Yahweh’s Messengers, like Malachi, malachi 3:1, “see, I will send my messenger who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly, the Lord you are seeking will come to His temple, the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come, says the Lord Almighty.” Prepare the way of the Lord, herald His coming, confront the rebelling self-righteous people to repentance, remove the spiritual stumbling blocks of self-righteousness, arrogance, unbelief, wickedness and perversity. And as your Administrators, Faculty and Staff, we can only say, Yahweh will always be with you… Rev. Fermin Z. Bercero President, Bethel Bible College of the Assmblies of God

A Prayer for the Graduating Class of Yahweh’s Messengers Rev. Bill Boyer
Our Heavenly Father, It is a delight to be called your children. You have blessed us beyond measure and certainly filled us beyond our capacity to understand or deserve. We praise you for your greatness, your everlasting and unconditional love, for your selflessness in redeeming us, the crown of your creation. Indeed, you are the only God and there is none beside You! Therefore
50
it is incomprehensible to us that people would try to make up another god to worship and pursue. We are honored, Lord, that You would have such an enthusiastic compassion for your people that you would be to us the kind of God we need you to be so that our hearts may be transformed by the wonder of your truth. The transforming power of your truth truly sets us free from the many sins of our heart
Bethel Bible College of the Assemblies of God
that prevent our relationship with you from becoming too intimate. Your truth sets us free from our own poor self-image, your truth delivers us from the torments of our wicked soul that tells us we are unworthy and therefore disqualified from the reaches of your vast grace. Were it not for that great grace, your longsuffering patience in the face of our rebellious stubbornness, and your gentle discipline we would not have come to know you as we do, our
Abba, Father. Thank you for loving us as you do. Beyond all these blessings that you have lavished upon us, continue to pour out, and ever will flow from your great love, you call us to join you as your messengers; to take the good news of your covenant to those who have yet to receive it and to those who have yet to even hear about it. Our hearts break for them and we ask for Your mercy on their behalf.
Thank you for reminding us in Your word, that we are messengers of your covenant; a message of eternal love, a message of forgiveness and a message of restoration. May we never forget, Abba, that this covenant demands our total trust in You to provide all we need, to give us direction, and to bless the work of our hands for your Name’s sake. Thank you for being patient in working in the depths of our heart to circumcise the cancerous wickedness you
find and there, through your forgiveness, replacing it with your eternal, healing love. Thank you for being determined to make of us an example of your grace for those around us to witness and to follow. We are eternally indebted and grateful for your mercy. Thank you for making yourself so vulnerable to our cruelty and bearing under the onslaught of our angry rebellion to be our own god. Thank you for revealing to us the terribleness of our sin so that we could repent
and come back to you in full relationship as you intended from the beginning of creation. With hearts overflowing with joy we go forth from this place we call Beth-el as witnesses and messengers of what you have provided for us, done for us, and caused us to be transformed by to share with others who have never heard. May we never forget that we have been blessed so that we may, in turn,
become a blessing to others. Our desire is to give our lives 100% to you to do with as You wish, to be spent where you call us and without reservation. We are your beloved children, grateful for Your love to us, motivated by your compassion for the lost and willingly sacrifice ourselves that Your will, not ours, be done in our lives to the everlasting glory of Christ Jesus our Lord, Savior, Master, King and Captain. Hallelujah!
