Birthed from her mothers womb as a mouth piece for
God, evolved the anointed, infallible, woman of God, Apostle
Antoinette M. Butler. As God molded her in His hands, He
purposed her for His works and for His people. From the
cradle to the pulpit this Apostle was destined to bring forth
the word of God with the anointing and power. Hearing the
call in her tender years, Antoinette began her ministry with
a Yes Lord, here am I, and sojourns her call in the path of
ministerial greatness. With an ear to hear His voice, and her
affections toward heavenly matters, this Apostle is unmovable and unstoppable on her
mission.
Apostle Dr. Antoinette M.Butler was born in Chicago, Illinois, to the parents of
Lenora Butler and Sam Ward. She is the middle child of her siblings. In her childhood
years it was evident she was a gifted child; peculiar, anointed and called to ministry. As the
gift of prophecy manifested through her voice, and prophetic dreams became perceptible
through full fl ourision, the mantel as Gods Prophetess was apparent. Apostle Butler was
saved at a very early age and received the Holy Ghost at 12 years old. She began serving
and spent many years from a very young age. In everything that she did, the anointing
was apparent, and her thirst for spiritual matters palpable. Apostle Dr. Antoinette
labored in ministry in many capacities prior to her being sent forth in her calling: choir
member, church secretary, Sunday school teacher, and Pastors Armor Bearer. She served
in the Hospital Ministry, Covenant Care Ministry, Food & Cloth Ministry, Evangelist

Holy Spirit

T he Holy Spirit is a person. Rauch Elohim is His name.

The Holy Spirit is a person, the third person of the Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is not a vague, ethereal shadow, nor an impersonal force. He is a person equal in every way with the Father and the Son. All the divine attributes ascribed to the Father and the Son are equally ascribed to the Holy Spirit.

The Personality (a person) of the Holy Spirit is composed of intellect, emotions, and will.

Intellect    1 Corinthians 2:11 "For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God" indicates that the Holy Spirit has intellect.

Will    1 Corinthians 12:11 "All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and He distributes them to each one, just as he determines". The Holy Spirit exercising His will.

The Nature of the Holy Spirit

John 16:13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.

Romans 8:2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.

Hebrews 10:29 How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?

Romans 1:4 and who through the Spirit of holiness was appointed the Son of God in power His his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord.

The Function or Role of the Holy Spirit

John 4:26 Then Jesus declared, I, the One speaking to you—I am He.

John 14:16 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to help you and be with you forever.

I Corinthians 3:16 Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst?

John 16:13-14 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you.

Acts 1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.

Actions the Holy Spirit perform

Acts 13:2 When the proconsul saw what had happened, he believed, for he was amazed at the teaching about the Lord.

Acts 8:29 The Spirit told Philip, Go to that chariot and stay near it.

Romans 8:14 For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.

John 16:7-8 But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. When He comes, He will prove the world to be

Reviews for Prepare Me

[teddyballgame · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This books provides some very interesting insights into former U.S. Presidents Nixon, Carter, Reagan, Bush and Clinton through a collection of previously published interviews that Scheer conducted over the last 30 or so years. Scheer also added some interesting insights into these men at the forefront of American politics. I learned many new things about our past Presidents through the republishing of these interviews.Scheer also reproduces numerous articles he wrote for various publications that criticizes President George W. Bush's policies in a post 9/11 world. While I understand and sympathize with Scheer's positions, I felt that it was a little over the top given that he failed to ever have an interview with the man. I know the book was designed to give light to previous Presidents' character and mental acuity in comparison with George W. Bush's actions, however, I thought that Scheer was overly zealous in his attacks and relatively unfair in the presentation of the book as the only President that fails to have a voice in the text was the actual man whose policies are being attacked.All in all, it was a very interesting read even though the end was rather tedious. I bought the book for the insights into past Presidents before George W. Bush and I was not disappointed.
