I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. Romans 8:18 niv
We also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. Romans 5:3-4
Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. James 1:12
The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever. 1 John 2:17
He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge." Psalm 91:4
~ INTRODUCTION ~
Greetings My Friends In Christ, Yes Reverend Howard is a True Friend of My wife Mary and myself and so many hundreds of you out there and I felt The Lord urging me to make this Tribute Page to Reverend Harold and Flora Howard and their many years of Dedication to the Ministry serving God and spreading His Word and Inspiration in many Churches and after his retierment, their starting the cyber Church, God's Meeting House, for the many shut-ins and people that can not get out to a church of their choosing on Sunday mornings. So I am making this page just like God's Meeting House with Christian Hymns and the words to sing along with, Scripture, his great Sermon,

Many years ago I came across, God's Meeting House on the internet and, I found it to be like I was sitting in a church, with Hymns to sing along with, advice and a new sermon every Sunday! and then came the calling to recieve Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior I was already a Christian but was very moved and inspired by the powerful words of this Man Of God. Also I noted at the end of the service there was a link to the prayer room, oh it was wondeful, at the time my older brother in Seattle had been diagnosed with pancriatic cancer and was told he had about 3 mounts to live, I emailed Rev. Howard and introduced myself and inclosed my WebSite, told him about my brother and requested he be placed on the prayer list.

The Next Sunday and on it appeared, The Result...... My brother improved and lived for more that 5 years after that doctors prediction...Prayer Works!! And it has worked over and over again as you will see in these pages.

Reverend Howard and I continued our e-mail and exchanging our mail outs and my new pages and I felt like he was like a mentor to me, as I learned and discovered so much in my Christian life. A wonderful friend was forwarding on Reverend Howards e-mail anouncing God's Meeting House each week, than she went from Webtv to a computer to work full time for God, making her wonderful Christian webpages, So I just continued sending them out, I made a Sig on my e-mail using graphics of a banner, "God's Meeting House" and a beautiful church with a Christian wav playing when it was opened, It went over good and people on my mailing list started sending it out to their friends, and then Reverend Howard and I began phone conversations and Folks that bring us up to date. Reverend Howard is 93 years young and just had cancer sergery on 1/3/11 and we do not know how long he can keep up God's Meeting House, And I am asking all of you to Lift him up in your prayers, for God Loves Him and We do Also.
God Bless You All,
WEDNESDAY Feb, 16th. 2011 7:00 P.M. CST Tonight I recieved a phone call from Florida from a very happy man, my friend Reverend Howard had recieved the e-mail I sent out today releasing this New page I made as a Tribute to him, his late wife Flora and God's Meeting House, he was very excited about the page, he said he felt he was in God's Meeting House and was so surprised and that it was done so well he said he knows of three souls that were saved watching God's Meeting House and if just one was saved all my work had been worthwhile an that he and his daughter had really enjoyed my Website and he had sent it on to others. He said he had been getting back his strenght, was getting around with a cane and will be seeing his doctor and will call me with a update. Praise The Lord!
UPDATE: 2/27/11
You know folks, as we get older we begin to think more and more about the second coming of Jesus OR of death. As I passed my 93rd birthday I like the idea of saying "I am 93" but only because I know I am that much closer to God's time to take me home to live with Jesus in that bright city and eternal future. With this malady of mine, I don't really know how long I have, but I intend to do all I can for him as long as I possibly can and able to get out GOD'S MEETING HOUSE until he's ready for me.
I do have this to say. I have made the acquaintance of some lovely and wonderful people and gained so many great friends on the internet and I hope to see all of you again someday up there in heaven. I pray that each and every one of you make it and can hear God say, "Welcome home, faithful servant." Thank you all for allowing me to serve you and be a part of your life.
Reverend Howard
~ THE CALLING: IN HIS WORDS ~
†
After never being in a church for 25 years I attended a Assembly of God church when I was 50 years of age. On the second Sunday I attended, I could run no longer. I gave my heart to Jesus.
†
When I was 57 I felt God's call to the ministry and I answered the call even tho I couldn't see how he could use me at that age. I started studying with the BEREAN SCHOOL OF THE BIBLE, an Assembly Of God institution.
In 1974 just one week before Christmas, I was talking with God. I felt by spring I would complete my studies and I prayed for God to send me a good Christian woman for a helpmate and to help with my 10 yr old daughter Who incidentally now helps pastor a church with her husband in Fontana, Southern Cal.. Without going thru a lengthy story, God sent Flora from Florida via Franklin, Ohio and on to a neighbor of mine. I met her, courted her, and on Feb. 20 were married.
†
God began opening doors. We moved 13 times in 15 yrs. Penny was in 5 different high schools, but was always on the honor roll. Flora had a beautiful, soft alto voice and was a great help to the ministry. We held services in many places including Ohio, Kentucky, Texas, New Mexico And California. Served as Assoc. pastor in 3 churches in Cal. Ky, & Ohio, two of them six years each.
†
The last one was at Bethel Assembly of God in Mt. Dora Florida for over six years. Because of health problems I resigned from there when I was 83 years old. Shortly thereafter, I got the idea for GOD'S MEETING HOUSE, and I am sure the thought came directly from God. And it has grown from that until today approximately 200 readers are present for the service.
"Shepherd of my soul, thank you for making me part of your family. Thank you for the wonderful brothers and sisters in Christ who have blessed my life over the years. Thank you for their support and encouragement. Please use me to bless others in your family as these precious people have blessed and honored me. In the name of Jesus, your Son and my older brother, I pray." Amen.
Pastor Howard.
Pastor Howard has been a Credentialled Minister of The Assemblies Of God for over 27 years.
THIS WEBSITE IS UNDER THE DIRECTION OF, AND FOR THE GLORY OF, GOD THE FATHER, GOD THE SON, AND GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT.
WELCOME TO THE SERVICE--YOU ARE ENTERING THE SANCTUARY OF GOD'S MEETING HOUSE. WE PRAY THAT YOU WILL REACH OUT TO THE HOLY SPIRIT AND INVITE HIM INTO YOUR HEART.

THE SERMON IS BROUGHT TO YOU TODAY BY REVEREND HAROLD HOWARD. OPEN YOUR HEARTS AND LET THE HOLY SPIRIT BRING THIS MESSAGE FROM GOD!
THE SERMON TODAY IS TITLED,
~ WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DIE ? ~
We are proud to inform you that GOD'S MEETING HOUSE is being attended all over this great country of ours as well as over the world. We have contacts from most states as well as England, Hong Kong, New Zealand, India, South Africa and others. Praise the Lord!!
Friends, we are suggesting right now, that you slow down, and take time to relax. Drop whatever you are doing. Relax in your easy chair in front of your computer or webtv. Try to throw out the things of the world that worry you and drag you down. In your mind's eye, realize that the Holy Spirit is right there with you and you are not alone. Enjoy that roll and cup of coffee or orange juice and begin to think about the Lord. Let the Holy Spirit help to keep your mind on spiritual things instead of worldly things. Realize that Jesus knows all about your problems; is right there with you and wants you to accept his peace. He will continue to be there throughout this service if you will allow Him to be.
Now, Throw off your troubles and give them to Him and have a really wonderful service that will elevate your soul to the heavens with Him. PRAISE THE LORD!
There is something about singing praises unto the Lord that adds enthusiasm to our praise. We should never stop proclaiming to the world the wonderful works of the Lord. We should never be ashamed to tell others of God.
We are what is in our heart. If our heart is rejoicing it would be because we sought the Lord and found Him.
I am weak, but He is strong. In my weakness, He is strong. The desire of every believer is to be in the presence of the Lord. To look upon His face, to seek the will of the Lord in our life.

Prayer:
"Lord Jesus fill our hearts with love, gratitude and generously. May we pour out our life in loving service for you and for others, just as you have so generously poured yourself out in love for us. I thank you as I pray in your name. For all the honor and glory is yours. Amen."
