GSM TAPE LIST

The following messages were recorded by Rayola Kelley.  Her messages have not only challenged many in their spiritual lives but have enriched those lives as well.  Below are some comments from listeners.

"I listened to 'Have You Taken Care of the High Places?' again thoroughly and took notes and wow what a sermon. That was the most awesome message. I think you just keep getting better all the time. You basically covered everything from A to Z. We need to get you preaching in a church." -  WA

"I listened to your tape today, 'Feel Like A Yo Yo?' Whew! I loved it!!! As always God nailed me with it, too. That's is what's so exciting about REAL preaching. It doesn't just patch you up or fluff your pillow. It does life-changing surgery on the diseased parts. And offers the healing of the Holy Spirit so you live over it to be obedient and holy." - ID

"I am so enjoying and being blessed by newsletters and tapes. Thank you for continuing to send them."  - MT

"We had a ladies get together on Saturday and I shared the 'Barren Place' tape. It really ministered to the ladies. It was neat to see the different things that were gotten out of it...That was the third time I listened to it and I still was blessed." - ID.

"I just listened to Rayola's sermon on possessing Jesus and it made me cry. I can't tell you how much I have been drawn to that scripture over the years, Philippians is my favorite... I just loved that sermon. I'm going to have the family listen to it on Sunday maybe instead of church..." - UT

"Dear Gals, Thanks for the special tapes you sent. I also want to expressly thank you, Rayola, for your preaching tapes. They really are a blessing to us." - ID.

"By the way, I listened to Rayola's messages. Wow! They were great. You don't get anything anywhere close in the church so she better keep it up. I think I'm going to stay home with the Lord and listen to her tapes again. I get more out of doing that than going anywhere." - WA.

"I listened to Rayola's message today and boy that was good as usual.  I really needed to hear it as we do so much take advantage of His longsuffering, mercy, grace and love He gives because He is trying to get us to the place that He wants us to be and save us from His judgment.  The scriptures that you gave with each one of these things that the church takes advantage of were so helpful.  I never can sit and hear Rayola's messages without needing to examine my life before God.  Thanks!" - WA

"...the tape you sent me...Rayola, I really needed that!!!  It was awesome!!!  It spoke very loud and clear to me, and what a reminder of not only God's faithfulness but His grace.  AHHHHH, refreshed!" - ID
