God created man in His image and in His likeness. He poured out His Spirit upon all flesh in these last days, but only those who believe may receive Him. Those of us who are hungry after a deeper spiritual walk with God know what the cost is to quench that thirst. Once that river flows in your heart, there’s no settling for anything less than His indwelling presence and his infilling power. In John 7:37-39, metaphorically, the Holy Spirit is called rivers of living water. Notice that the Scripture didn’t just say a river of living water, but rivers of living water, rivers with an “s.” Now, when we are studying Scripture, we’ve got to imagine in our minds the descriptive and colorful language, even if it’s symbolic language or metaphorical, we should picture in our mind, drawing an analogy between the reality and the metaphorical language to maximize the full effect of what the language is conveying. So, if I’m thirsty, and I come across rivers, with an “s,” of living water, then I begin to get the picture of what Scripture is conveying to me concerning the Holy Spirit, except this is giving me an idea of just how refreshing spiritually the indwelling presence and infilling power of the Holy Spirit truly is. You think of rivers as flowing, cool, refreshing, cleansing, and wet. Water quenches our thirsty body. The Holy Spirit quenches our spirit man. Rivers of water revive the tired, thirsty, and weary. The Holy Spirit revives our spirit. You can become immersed in rivers of water. We can become immersed in the Holy Spirit. The deeper you go under water the cooler and more refreshing it gets. The deeper we go in the Holy Spirit the more satisfied our thirst is quenched.

Practicing the presence of God in our faith walk should always be in the forefront of the mind of every Christian. Knowing that God is with us and in us is a powerful influence in the day-to-day activities in our faith journey. The God of creation, the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last, the I AM, lives on the inside of every Believer. We are the temple of God because His Spirit abides in us and once we truly tap into that revelation, we then have the audience of the true and living God. We can talk to God and God can talk to us. Out of all of God’s creation, man only, may have fellowship with Him, a personal relationship with Him, pray to Him, worship Him, and praise Him. In the days of Elijah the Lord passed by him and the Bible declares that “…a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and break in pieces the rocks before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the Lord was not in the earthquake: And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice. And it was so when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah,” 1 Ki. 19:11-13 (KJV). Sometimes we look for God in all the wrong ways when all we need is to listen to that still small voice of the Holy Spirit speaking to us just what we need to hear from God. Just listen to Him. Just listen. Don’t ever get too busy that the busyness drowns out the voice of God. Listen to what the Spirit is saying and then do what He says. “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me,” Jn. 10:27 (KJV).

The Holy Spirit’s anointing was prominent in both the Old & New Testaments, therefore for Christians there’s no excuse for being powerless and fearful in this age of grace. God is with us. The Holy Spirit was intimately involved in both testaments. To be honest, we see His involvement in the Word of God from Genesis to Revelation. Why would the Holy Spirit be awol in this present generation? The answer to that question is that the Holy Spirit was and is very much involved in the everyday affairs of the Church, Old and New Testament. That means His power is just as accessible and necessary now as it was in Bible days. Throughout the Word of God His presence is prominent. We need the power of the Holy Ghost. This is an evil generation and it’s going to take the power of the Holy Spirit in order that we navigate this dimension of wickedness. We’re witnessing some of the most unbridled wickedness in some very high places and the one entity that is supposed to represent righteousness, mercy, forgiveness, compassion, and empathy, is oftentimes on the wrong side of right. This is a sure sign of the times that we live in. Just know though, that God’s will will be fulfilled in the earth just like He said. We need the Holy Ghost in order that we retain our integrity and sanity. We need the Holy Spirit in order that we fight the evil of this present generation. We need the Holy Spirit to give us wisdom and guidance, be our Helper in the time of need. We need the Holy Spirit to lead us into all truth and bring things back to our remembrance. The time for shucking and jiving and lollygagging is over. When I was a child I spoke as a child, but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is anointed with the power of the Holy Spirit and that anointing destroys every yoke, lifts every burden, and sets every captives free. That anointing was on Christ when He walked this earth . Acts 10:38 (KJV): ³⁸ How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. Many don’t realize that in all actuality Christ is not the Lord’s last name, but Christ is from the Greek word Christos, Strong’s 5547, and it means anointed, i.e. the Messiah, an epithet of Jesus:-Christ. Couple that with the Old Testament Hebrew word for anointed, mashiah, of which the English word Messiah, that is ascribed to the Lord, is derived. Jesus is the Messiah, the anointed One and His anointing, and the same anointing is on the Church of Jesus Christ, the body of Christ, the ekklesia, the called out ones. We are anointed . 1 John 2:20 (KJV): ²⁰ But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. 1 John 2:27 (KJV): ²⁷ But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. We’ve got power over all of the power of the enemy. It’s the children’s bread and if the Church is going to walk in victory, then it must receive the revelation of the anointing that was on the Lord Jesus Christ is the same anointing that is with the Church and in the Church today. We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.

Throughout the Word of God, we witness the footprints of the Holy Spirit. From Genesis to Revelation, He’s there. Genesis 1:1, 2 (KJV): 1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. ² And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Revelation 22:1 (KJV): And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. There are some who believe that this scripture in Rev. 22:1 is reference to the Holy Spirit as compared to John 7:37–39 (KJV): ³⁷ In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. ³⁸ He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. ³⁹ (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.) The Holy Spirit was intimately involved overseeing in the early Church. Acts 16:6–7 (KJV): ⁶ Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia, ⁷ After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not. The same Holy Spirit is with the Church today. The Church will have confirmation by the Holy Spirit as long as the Church aligns with the Word just like the Holy Spirit did in the book of beginnings . Mark 16:20 (KJV): ²⁰ And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

Ezekiel 36:26–27 (KJV): ²⁶ A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. ²⁷ And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. God, through the prophet Ezekiel, revealed in that day that He would be doing a new thing in the house of Israel. He would put His Spirit in them, put His laws in their hearts, and give them a heart of flesh and He would be their God and they would be His people. Though Ezekiel prophesied to the Jews, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit is the reality in the Church as well. The Church age is the age of the Spirit. That is how God puts His laws into the hearts of His people. He gives them a new nature. 2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV): ¹⁷ Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. Believers are now partakers of the divine nature. 2 Peter 1:4 (KJV): ⁴ Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. We’ve been changed. God changed our “want to.” Now, we “want to” do right by God. We “want to” draw closer to Him. We “want to” treat our neighbor right. We may stumble, but our “want to” is to do what pleases God. The Holy Spirit helps us because He is with us and is in us. With the help of the Holy Spirit, we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. We must be ever so sensitive to God’s Spirit in us and He will lead us and guide us into all truth.

In the message today I’m going full throttle on one of the most neglected doctrines in this contemporary age, and that is the ministry of the Holy Spirit. As I encourage the saints on walking under an open Heaven and in the fullness of all that is the children’s bread, there is just no way that we can fulfill that without the ministry of the Holy Spirit. As we have already declared in previous messages, the Holy Spirit is in every aspect of our redemption. He’s also in every aspect of our faith journey, whether we confess that or not. The Holy Spirit creates, heals, gives life, casts out devils, convicts of sin, redeems, resurrects, inspires scriptures, distributes gifts, forms the body of Christ, endues with power, changes lives, directs gospel work, frees from sin, gives victory over sin, bears witness, searches the deep things of God, brings things back to our remembrance and teaches and guides into all truth, reveals secrets, dwells in Believers, guides in daily problems, helps in prayer, washes from sin, sanctifies, and justifies, imparts and causes supernatural powers to be manifested through Believers, imparts love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and self-control, seals men to divine ownership, gives access to God, imparts revelation, fills Believers, causes obedience to truth, speaks of Christ and glorifies Him, confirms the gospel, and carries on the work of God in the earth, He is the author of the new birth and the direct executive of God in all phases of creation and redemption, the Holy Spirit is the preserver of all things, and finally, He is God the Holy Spirit. Though I didn’t provide scripture background because it would have been too lengthy for the Pastor’s Pen but I do provide those scriptures on the Church’s website at cccwaverly.org.

The fruit and gifts of the Holy Spirit are for character building and service respectively in the kingdom of God. The people of God must always be mindful that first and foremost we are representatives of the kingdom of God. We, the Believers, are ambassadors of the kingdom of Heaven and what that translates to is everything else falls in line behind kingdom priority. We are just coming out of our 21 Day Consecration and during that consecration the Lord led me to encourage the congregation here at CCC that this year is the year of the open Heaven. In Gen. 7:11 and Mal. 3:10 are the only 2 places in the Bible where the windows of Heaven are mentioned being opened and in each case, there was an abundance. One was an abundance of judgment because of disobedience to God and the other was an abundance because of obedience to God, therefore I want the windows of Heaven open because of obedience to God and not disobedience. Therefore, obeying His commandments, walking by faith and not by sight, and abiding in His love is how we are going to keep those windows open. Of course, we understand that the words “windows of Heaven” are a figure of speech meaning that the favor of God is on the one who abides in God’s love. This is where the ministry of the Holy Spirit is ever so needed because whether it’s being built up in godly character or needing power for service, without the ministry of the Holy Spirit we’re sunk in the water. The fruit, gifts, and unction (anointing) of the Holy Spirit have been given to the Church by God just for such a time as this. Acts 1:8 (KJV): ⁸ But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

CCC’s firstfruit offering of a 21 Day Consecration is winding down but the spirit of the 21 Day Consecration continues on in our hearts and minds. The life of the Believer is a consecration unto God. This is the theme throughout God’s Word . Exodus 20:2–6 (KJV): ² I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. ³ Thou shalt have no other gods before me. ⁴ Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: ⁵ Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; ⁶ And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. 1 Corinthians 6:19–20 (KJV): ¹⁹ What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? ²⁰ For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s. Romans 12:1 (KJV): I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 1 Peter 2:9 (KJV): ⁹ But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light. We’re blessed to be God’s representatives in the earth, His ambassadors. The Bible declares that our citizenship, first and foremost, is of Heaven. Philippians 3:20 (KJV): ²⁰ For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ.

One of CCC’s youth came to me Sunday and she had one of the pamphlets promoting CCC’s 21 Day Consecration in her hand. She wanted to know whether or not we were on a total fast abstaining from any food or drink. In other words, a complete fast. I explained that the pamphlet reveals the different kinds of fasts and that it was left to each individual however the Lord leads them on any particular kind of fast to participate in. I could see her curiosity and desire to know more about fasting. The Bible speaks to whether or not we’re in the right kind of fasting or the wrong kind of fasting. It’s not so much about the abstaining from food and drink as much as being willing to change where change is needed in our lives because if we’re not willing to allow the Holy Spirit and God’s Word to shine the light from Heaven on our souls then you’re receiving no benefit from prayer and fasting except maybe to shed a few pounds and to give your digestive system a well deserved rest . Isaiah 58:6 (KJV): ⁶ Is not this the fast that I have chosen? To loose the bands of wickedness, To undo the heavy burdens, And to let the oppressed go free, And that ye break every yoke? Prayer and fasting is about a heart change more than changing your diet. If we’re not going to change our hearts toward God and in drawing nigh unto Him then you might as well order you a steak and a loaded bake potato and enjoy yourself, otherwise you’re just going hungry for nothing. Oh, but the benefits of fasting and praying with a genuine heart for God is more than worth the sacrifice in order that we draw nearer blessed Lord. As the Psalmist penned, Psalm 84:10 (KJV): ¹⁰ For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, Than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

The Lord laid on my heart the theme for 2026 which is “The Year of the Open Heaven.” There are only 2 places in the Bible where “the windows of Heaven” are mentioned and that’s in Malachi 3:10 and Genesis 7:11, and in each case it is referring to an abundance flowing from Heaven when its windows are open. The difference between the windows being opened in Genesis and Malachi is one is the judgment of God for disobedience to His will and the other is the blessing of God for obedience to His will. Both scenarios are the results of faith or the lack of faith in God. When the body of Christ is on fire for God there’s less of a chance for the enemy to set up camp among the people of God. When the Church is not on fire for God Satan gets place to come in and sow discord, offences, division, confusion, disunity, anger, hate, animosity, etc., in the body of Christ to hinder the plans and purposes of God in the earth. When the body of Christ is on fire, on the other hand, the enemy cannot so easily come in like a flood else the Lord will raise up a standard against him just as He did when David faced Goliath. David had a strength of character spiritually and when he faced the giant his hope was in his God. One of the ways I am convinced that the body of Christ will stay on fire is by maturing in godly character, Galatians 5:22–23 (KJV): 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Strength in godly character, strong in the Lord and in the power of His might is how we catch on fire and stay on fire. That’s one reason why the assembling of ourselves together is admonished in the Word of God. Hebrews 10:25 (KJV): 25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is ; but exhorting one another : and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

2025 is almost out of here and the new season of 2026 is about to roll in, and the Lord have given me a powerful theme for 2026: The Year of the Open Heaven. There are only 2 places in the Bible where the windows of heaven are mentioned and that’s in Mal. 3:10 & Gen. 7:11, and in each case it is referring to an abundance flowing from heaven when it’s windows are open. Genesis 7:11 (KJV): ¹¹ In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. Malachi 3:10 (KJV): ¹⁰ Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be meat in mine house, And prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, If I will not open you the windows of heaven, And pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. Gen. 7:11 was judgment upon the earth. Mal. 3:10 is the blessings because of obedience to God. I’m convinced that God’s people determine whether the windows of Heaven are opened in their lives by obedience to the will of God. I want to walk under an open Heaven, but that’s more easily said than done when living in a generation that’s anti-Christ for the most part. The winds of this end times blow hard against the plans and purposes of God and His chosen generation are swimming upstream because we’re in this world but not of this world. The Father have revealed His will unto men. If we want to walk under an open Heaven then we must walk in the revealed plans and purposes of God, Matthew 16:19 (KJV): ¹⁹ And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

As we celebrate this season of thanksgiving, reverence, and appreciation for the God-man who was sent from Heaven to a world of darkness, we take the time to tell God how much we love Him and dare not take for granted that every day that we wake up it’s because of Him. This season of celebration of the going out of the old and the coming in of the new year and new season. God is good to us. My life I can’t imagine without God. All of my conscious days as far back as I can remember has included faith in God and His Christ. Everybody is not so blessed to have been taught from a child the Lord Jesus Christ and those of us who have ought to find it difficult not to praise and worship Him every woke second of our lives. It is the season of celebration. The changing of the guard is upon us again. Out with 2025 and in with 2026. God have already given me the theme for 2026 and I will be sharing that on next Sunday. It’s a blessed time for the Church. It’s a blessed time for the Church because we live in a generation where the harvest is ripe yet the laborers are few and we have the opportunity to tell this generation the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ and that message is that God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. That Light has come into the world over 2000 years ago and He is the hope of the world, the way, the truth, and the life. He is the apex of God’s love. He also demonstrates that we are precious since He, the Creator of all things, were willing to take the form of a man, suffer the cross, die, be buried and raised again that we might have life and have it more abundantly. Thank you Father.

The Church is tasked with the mission of representing Heaven in the earth. We are Heaven’s ambassadors, 2 Corinthians 5:20 (KJV): ²⁰ Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. The Church is called the light of the world as is Christ, the Father, and the Word. Light means to illuminate, to shine, and in the Word of God light also is indicative of the kingdom of Heaven and the revelation of God in the earth. We are all of the light that many who we work with on our jobs will see, or who we work alongside in our businesses, our communities, schools, etc. In Jesus’ sermon on the mount, He reveals that our light is our good works , Matthew 5:16 (KJV): ¹⁶ Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. What we do reveals whether we’re walking in light or darkness according to the words of Christ in John 3:19–21 (KJV ): ¹⁹ And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. ²⁰ For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. ²¹ But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. Rom. 14 is an awesome chapter that encourages Believers to be mindful of how we influence our brothers and sisters, and to take it a step further, how we may influence all whom we may come in contact with. In other words, we are to be mindful of our actions and how we are encouraging or discouraging others as it relates to the things of God, Romans 14:21 (KJV): ²¹ It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak. Matthew 5:14 (KJV): ¹⁴ Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

War is going on in the earth. This war is an invisible war to the natural eye but to them that believe it’s a war none-the-less. The consolation to the Church though, is that we, the Church, have power from on high. God have given us authority over the ability of the devil and his kingdom. Jesus said, “If thou canst believe, all things are possible to them that believeth,” Mk. 9:23 (KJV). The Church in Acts was full of faith and power demonstrated by the signs and wonders manifested in their day. Acts 5:14–16 (KJV): ¹⁴ And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women. ¹⁵ Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them. ¹⁶ There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one. When the question was put to His disciples, “Who do men say that I am?” Peter answered, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Matthew 16:17–18 (KJV): ¹⁷ And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. ¹⁸ And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. The Church has been empowered by God. We are the lightning rod of God in the earth, the light of the world. The war is the kingdom of light against the kingdom of darkness. Now God have already went ahead and shown to us the end of the book. We win! You and I are on the winning team and Jesus is the captain of the Lord’s host.

John 15:11 (KJV): ¹¹ These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. “Joy” here in Jn. 15:11 is from the Greek word chara, pronounced khar-ah, from Strong’s G5463 and it means cheerfulness, that is calm, delight:- gladness, exceeding greatly, joy (-ful, -fully, -fulness, -ous). This joy is not a joy from having stuff, fame, riches, notoriety, popularity, or any of those things that satisfies our flesh. This joy does not come from anything in this world, but is birth out of our relationship with the God of our salvation. That means that the world didn’t give us this joy and the world can’t take away. When anything else is the source of our “joy,” then when that thing is taken away, or walks out of our lives our joy walks out with it, but when your joy hinges on nothing else such as how high I climb the economic ladder, or how many followers I have on social media, or how many people are under my leadership, but only on my relationship with my God then my joy is full. Now just to make sure that I’m not misunderstood, I’m not saying that there’s anything wrong in itself with being blessed with possessions, riches, fame, or whatever else in this life we may receive, but if these things become priority over our relationship with our Creator then we have a spiritual situation whereas God now has been relegated to an inferior place in our lives. The Word says that we should have no other “gods” before Him. Now I know that sounds like strong language, and it is, but what the scripture reveals is that we must get our priorities right in this life. If we really want to have full joy in this world it will be through a personal relationship with our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. This is the original plan of God and will have it’s fulfillment in the restoration of all things as revealed in Revelation 21:4 (KJV): ⁴ And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

Living right in a wrong world is the plight of the Christian . John 17:14–16 (KJV): ¹⁴ I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. ¹⁵ I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. ¹⁶ They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. One of the most powerful warnings in God’s Word revealing the Father’s attitude as it relates to Christians and their association with the world is found in 1 John 2:15–17 (KJV): ¹⁵ Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. ¹⁶ For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. ¹⁷ And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. In another scripture as Jesus was praying to the Father He revealed why His followers would be hated in this life. John 15:17–19 (KJV): ¹⁷ These things I command you, that ye love one another. ¹⁸ If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. ¹⁹ If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. The word “world” in all of these passages is from the Greek word “kosmos,” Strongs 2889, and is defined as follows: Orderly arrangement, that is decoration; by implication the world (in a wide or narrow sense including its inhabitants literally or figuratively [morally]):-adorning, world. To get entangled in the spirit of this age with no control, boundaries, limitations, or temperament on our desires is opposite of being mature spiritually. Galatians 5:16–17 (KJV): ¹⁶ This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. ¹⁷ For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

The Holy Spirit is there with us in time of need. He’s not only there in the time of need, but just look at how the Holy Spirit ministers to the Christian. John 14:16 (KJV): ¹⁶ And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever. He’s our Comforter. John 14:17 (KJV): ¹⁷ Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. He lives in the Believer and He’s the Spirit of truth. John 14:26 (KJV): ²⁶ But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. The Holy Spirit is our Teacher and He brings things to our remembrance. John 15:26 (KJV): ²⁶ But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me. The Holy Spirit testifies of Christ. John 16:7–8 (KJV): ⁷ Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. ⁸ And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment. The Holy Spirit convicts of sin, of our need for the righteousness of God, and of the judgment of God especially of Satan and all evil. John 16:13–14 (KJV): ¹³ Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. ¹⁴ He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

1 Corinthians 12:28 (KJV): ²⁸ And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. The ministry of helps is a supernatural ministry listed among things such as miracles and healings. It is a “gift” from God set in the Church like a concrete pillar to hold things up. Eph. 4:11, 12 (KJV): ¹¹ And he gave some, apostles; and some, ^h prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; ¹² For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ. Christians who are maturing and growing in the Lord will exhibit three qualities of assistance. They will build up and add to the welfare of God’s family, the Church. They will learn to minister, to help or serve, others. Then finally, they will help the Pastor and not hinder him. The ministry of helps is a supernatural ministry set in the Church by God to help bring to pass the vision or goal God gave the Pastor. The simple definition of helps is “one who gives assistance to the weak and needy.” God never intended for any Believer to be a pew warmer week after week. He put you in your Church to help. Where people do not help, the body of Christ is weak. The Church is made stronger when you are strong in the ministry of helps toward others. The Church is weak when everyone looks at a problem and says, “I wish someone would do something about that.” 1 Corinthians 12:18, 26, 27 (KJV): ¹⁸ But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. ²⁶ And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. ²⁷ Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. Everyone in the body of Christ is an integral part in bringing the vision to pass that God have given the Pastor. God have equipped the Church with the ministry gifts necessary to bring the vision to pass and complete the great commission that God have given the Church.

Joshua 1:9 (KJV): ⁹ Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. Moses, the great deliverer of the Jews, had died and the Lord would now raise up another to lead His people on into the promise land, a land flowing with milk & honey. Milk & honey symbolizes a place of prosperity and plenty. Joshua was a young man who had sat at the feet of Moses and observed how God used him mightily in the deliverance of His people out of Egyptian bondage. Joshua was there to see the miracles that caused Pharaoh to let God’s people go, Ex. 4:1-9. When God delivered Israel through the Red Sea, Ex. 14. When He led them in a cloud by day and a fire by night, Ex. 13:21, 22. On Mt. Sinai when God gave Moses the ten commandments, Ex. 20:1-17. Joshua witnessed God be with Moses during the rebellions in the wilderness, Ex. 32; Num. 13:17-33; 16:31-35. God let Joshua know that He would be with him as He was with Moses. Joshua 1:5 (KJV): ⁵ There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. As God was with Moses and Joshua, He is with His people today. In these contemporary times He’s the same yesterday, today and forever. Numbers 14:8–9 (KJV): ⁸ If the Lord delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey. ⁹ Only rebel not ye against the Lord, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the Lord is with us: fear them not.

Vision will change you in ways that you never expected because it places a demand on your being that can be life changing. When you put your whole heart into something, your total person spirit, soul, and body, can become immersed in it. God gives us vision because life is so awesome when we begin to experience it’s hidden rewards just enough to stir up our creativity. Then, God blesses us to share in the joy of the blessings when those hidden jewels are revealed, and we too share in the achievement of discovering them. Vision tugs at our creativity, potential, and abilities. We have not tapped into all that God have for them that believe. Our visions for our personal lives are intertwined with the grand vision from Heaven and the sooner we receive that revelation the sooner we walk into all that God have for our lives. Throughout the Word of God, we see the connection with personal vision and the greater scheme of things. God reveals His will to men and then it’s up to us to believe that what God have revealed to us, He is well able to perform. Romans 4:17–21 (KJV): ¹⁷ (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. ¹⁸ Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. ¹⁹ And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb: ²⁰ He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; ²¹ And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. When vision is embraced, deadlines are met, programs start on time, there’s excitement in the air, and energy abounds because all hearts are on bringing the vision to pass all to the glory of God.

It is amazing to me that when it comes to faith and vision how closely related they are. You can practically substitute vision in place of faith in Heb. 11:1 and the verse would not be unsound in any way. Hebrews 11:1 (KJV): ¹ Now faith (substitute vision in place of faith) is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (not perceived by the senses) . Sense the correlation between faith and vision in Genesis 15 (KJV): ¹ After these things the word of the Lord came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward. ² And Abram said, Lord God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus? ³ And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir. ⁴ And, behold, the word of the Lord came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir. ⁵ And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be. ⁶ And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness. God gave the vision to Abraham. Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Why? Because he believed God and acted like he believed God which now becomes faith. Abraham’s actions were proof that he believed God. Faith needs action and vision needs action. Faith without works is dead faith, and vision without works is dead vision. Proverbs 29:18 (KJV): ¹⁸ Where there is no vision, the people perish: But he that keepeth the law, happy is he. One translation reads, “Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint.” They have no discipline, boundaries, limits, or restraints necessary to bring a vision to pass. Vision and faith are not the same thing, but they need one another.

We are truly living in perilous times, but it’s not a time whereas we forget who we are in Christ Jesus. Romans 8:37 (KJV): ³⁷ Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. The eagle Christian is an overcomer. We are overcomers! For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world, and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. I am confident in my God, in myself, and in my brother, because I am an overcomer. I confess that all my needs are met and that I am prosperous spirit, soul, and body. I am blessed because I am an overcomer. Every weapon of Satan against me will fail. I am victorious in every arena of my life, all to the glory of God, my Rock, my Redeemer, and my Salvation, because I am an overcomer! The strength of the eagle is his diet. The eagle Christian’s strength is his diet of the Word of God . Deuteronomy 8:3 (KJV): ³ And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live. Of course, the Word of God is diet for the spirit man, the soulish man, and the natural man, the total man. Man does not live by natural means only, but he is a spirit, who has a soul and lives in a body. The Word of God is the truth and the light for mankind. John 8:31–32 (KJV): ³¹ Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; ³² And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Psalm 119:105 (KJV): ¹⁰⁵ NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, And a light unto my path. The eagle Christian is in covenant with our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ and have covenant rights and precious promises. Jesus is the surety (guarantee) of that covenant which gives His covenant people power and authority . Matthew 16:19 (KJV): ¹⁹ And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

All of the misleading information that enters our ear gates and our eye gates are very harmful to a healthy self-esteem. God sometimes uses colorful language to point us to some spiritual truth. God gave us a creative imagination that is stimulated by creative language that challenges our psyche. We see God use colorful language throughout the Old & New Testament to stir the interest of the Believer. Throughout the Bible we find symbolism, metaphors, types & shadows, allegories, parables, and colorful language by which God reveals spiritual truths. For instance, Jesus many times used parables to convey spiritual truth. In the parable of the sower there is an analogy drawn between the sower sowing seed into different grounds and the Word of God being sown in the hearts of men, Matt. 13:3-9, 18-23. In the book of Revelation and in the book of Daniel are much symbolic language such as in Daniel 2:31-45 when God, through Daniel, revealed unto King Nebuchadnezzar different kingdoms, including his kingdom of Babylon, through the image of a man made of different metals that were symbolic of kingdoms that would be established after king Nebuchadnezzar. The Old Testament with its types and shadows, is filled with language that is symbolic of spiritual truths future. The priest’s garments were symbolic of the glory of God. The sacrifices, the tabernacle, the altar, the laver, the altar of incense, the candlestick, the shewbread, the Ark of the Covenant with all of its items all symbolized some spiritual truth pertaining to our salvation. One of the birds that God uses to convey to the child of God that he has the spirit of a champion in him is the eagle. The eagle is the symbol of strength, confidence, grace, and excellence. The qualities of the eagle not only reflects the nature of God but also the nature of the eagle Christian. The world may not value you, but God does. He gave His only Son and proved it.

My potential will be realized when I know who I am in Christ. God’s Word is the only truth in this earth that reveals to me my potential and the potential of every person. If we won’t believe it though, then what good will it do to have the most powerful truth revealed and not believe it, yet that is exactly where we find ourselves in this generation. What more of a powerful revelation is there than the one and only true and living God, who spoke the worlds into existence, created man in His image, and everything that was created was created by Him, who knows all, is omnipresent, and omnipotent, who knows every intricate detail about us and His plans and purposes for each and every one of us, He reveals to me who I am knowing the beginning from the ending, and everything in between, what more powerful revelation can men receive than from God? That being said, we have that most powerful revelation practically in every home, hotel, in written form, software programs, on cd, dvd, and every medium you can imagine. We have it, but mankind as a whole treat it as of no value, compared to it’s true value. Matthew 13:44–46 (KJV): ⁴⁴ Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. ⁴⁵ Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: ⁴⁶ Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it. My God reveals to me that I am strong, awesomely made, creative, valuable, and am a citizen of His kingdom. I choose to believe this awesome God. To God be the glory.

August 7, 9, & 10, was the dates of my installation services here at CCC. I have the videos of the three pastors that preached for me that week, Pastor Mark Baker, Pastor Troy Moody, and Pastor Julius Hope. Pastor Mark Baker’s title was “I Am With You.” Pastor Troy Moody’s title was “The Gift,” and Pastor Julius Hope’s title was “Milk & Honey.” Moderator Green of the Gethsemane Association gave the charge to me that was the launching of my ministry here at Calvary Christian Center. The charge that Pastor Green gave at that time was prophetic. Much of what led up to me pastoring at Calvary was prophetic. Rev. Enoch Lee mentioning me coming back to minister at Calvary just before his passing led the leadership to invite me back to minister after Rev. Lee’s passing which led to my being offered the pastoral position, and of course, the rest is history. The vision God gave me then is the same vision blueprint that I follow to this day, “Building lives through the message of Christ.” “We are blind until we see, That in the human plan, Nothing is worth the making, If it does not make the man. Why build these cities glorious, If man unbuilded goes? In vain we build the world, Unless the builder also grows.” “Building lives, to build families, to build the Church, to build our world, through the message of Christ.” I remember this puzzle that is two-sided. When you put one side together, there’s also a picture on the other side. The one side, when you put this puzzle together, is the picture of a man, but when you look on the other side, it’s a picture of the world. The message of the puzzle is when you put the man together, you put the world together, but it starts with putting the man together. This is so true. None of what we do means anything if we’re not encouraging somebody to Christ, not religion, not a form of godliness, but a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Amen.

We need power for these times we presently live in. That power must be able to help us navigate through the traps and devices of the enemy. That power must be able to guide us and to lead us into all truth, not lies, to convict us of wrongdoing, strengthen us when we’re weak, give us wisdom liberally, be our Helper, Strengthener, Standby, Advocate, Counselor, and our Comforter. That power comes through the person of the Holy Spirit. The Bible reveals many powerful truths concerning the Holy Spirit, but one of the ministries of the Holy Spirit is He gives us power over our own sinful nature, that flesh, the carnal man. You and I need the power of the Holy Spirit if we are going to be in this world but not of the world. It’s going to take a strength of character in order to confront the evil of this age and without the Holy Spirit we are not set up for success. When the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life become the norm of the land, it’s going to take the power of God in the people of God to turn this mess around and just in case that there is any doubt that God can turn this generation around I’m reminded of what the Lord said to Sarah when He revealed to her that He would bless her with a son, Genesis 18:13-14 (KJV): ¹³ And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old? ¹⁴ Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son. Though prophecy predicts the end of times, it does not necessarily mean that all the things against Him has to happen in our particular location. Is there anything too hard for God?

Luke 24:49 (KJV): ⁴⁹ And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high . Acts 1:8 (KJV): ⁸ But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Acts 2:37-39 (KJV): ³⁷ Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? ³⁸ Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. ³⁹ For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. Ephesians 5:18 (KJV): ¹⁸ And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit. As revealed in the above scriptures, every Christian needs the baptism in power, not to bring attention upon ourselves, but primarily to be victorious over the flesh. We need power over this flesh! As the Apostle Paul revealed in Romans 7:22-25 (KJV): ²² For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: ²³ But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. ²⁴ O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? ²⁵ I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

In the 7 ^th . chapter of Romans the Apostle Paul reveals the struggle that is the reality of every human being. There is a fight between the flesh and the spirit of the man who wants to please God, and that battle is a real battle that if we are not strong then we give place to the enemy of our souls, Satan. The Apostle also reveals how we are victorious over this flesh and Satan. Romans 7:14-25 (KJV): ¹⁴ For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. ¹⁵ For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. ¹⁶ If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. ¹⁷ Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. ¹⁸ For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. ¹⁹ For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. ²⁰ Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. ²¹ I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. ²² For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: ²³ But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. ²⁴ O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? ²⁵ I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

The Word off God is our lifeline during this earth journey. As a matter of fact, one acronym for B.I.B.L.E. is Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. 2 Timothy 3:14-17 (KJV):
¹⁴ But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; ¹⁵ And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. ¹⁶ All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: ¹⁷ That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. The Word reveals to the people of God an unseen enemy. Invisible to the natural eye, yet this enemy can very well be seen through the eyes of faith. Faith in what the Bible reveals about Satan is our only means of knowing who this enemy is and the spiritual arsenal at our disposal to keep that enemy where he belongs, under our feet. The Church has been given the power and authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions (the kingdom of Satan), and over all off the power of the enemy. One powerful revelation in the Word of God is that this enemy works through the weakness of the flesh. If the people of God would walk by faith and not by sight, be filled with the Spirit, and walk in the Spirit, it would be game over for the devil. Galatians 5:16-17 (KJV): ¹⁶ This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. ¹⁷ For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

Many Christians do not take what the Bible reveals about Satan as seriously as they ought. Satan was not always a fallen angel. At one time he was known as Lucifer. The name Lucifer means “light bringer,” “shining one.” He was called the anointed cherub. He was considered a good angel until iniquity was found in him. Pride entered in and Lucifer “light bringer,” and “shining one” became Satan, which means “adversary.” He was created and is not omniscient, omnipotent, or omnipresent. He must be resisted though, 1 Peter 5:8-9 (KJV): ⁸ Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: ⁹ Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. Neither are Christians to give place to the devil, Ephesians 4:26-27 (KJV): ²⁶ Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: ²⁷ Neither give place to the devil. Some don’t believe he’s real. Others take him lightly. Satan has been around and obviously God takes him very seriously because Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil, 1 John 3:8 (KJV):
⁸ He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Satan is a spirit, therefore we will need spiritual weapons to be victorious over him, but be encouraged, Jesus have already destroyed the works of the devil. The Word of God is our hammer. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 (KJV): ⁴ (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) ⁵ Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.

When you are faced with an enemy who cannot be seen with the natural eye then you had better learn all you can about that enemy from reliable sources, especially if that source created that enemy. 1 Peter 5:8-9 (KJV) ⁸ Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: ⁹ Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. Satan is an adversary not to be taken lightly. He tempted our Lord with significant earthly power and possessions that many would not hesitate to accept the devil’s offer and in fact, do. Matthew 4:8-9 (KJV): ⁸ Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
⁹ And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. It would not be a temptation if Satan could not deliver, and Jesus never said that Satan couldn’t do what he said. The Bible declares that Satan is the god of this world and the prince of the power of the air. 2 Corinthians 4:3-4 (KJV): ³ But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: ⁴ In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

Praise is a powerful weapon in the kingdom. Jehoshaphat sent praisers into the forefront of the battle and confused the enemy, 2 Chron. 20:21, 22. The Syrophenician woman worshipped the Lord and her daughter who was vexed by demons was healed, Matt. 15:21-28. The Bible declares in Ps. 22:3 that God inhabits the praises of Israel. He inhabits the praise, period! I know in my own personal life the power of praise. In every dark situation as I looked to the Arthur and Finisher of my faith and worshipped, I received strength, peace, and joy. He will never fail you nor me. Praise boosts our faith, Philip. 4:6. Praise honors the Lord in reverential respect. It recalibrates our thinking to His, aligning with His Word and therefore the blessing. If I’m praising God, then I’m not giving place to the enemy of my soul to plant evil thoughts into my mind. Worship does so much to and for the worshipper. It invites God and Heaven into our situation, Ps. 22:3. For petition prayers it keeps us focused in faith for what we’re believing God for. It’s an act of faith in itself. Who worships what they don’t believe in? It’s like prayer. Who prays to someone they don’t believe in? We often say, “Prayer changes things.” Well, praise changes things too. For one thing, instead of using our mouths to speak doubt and unbelief, we’re using our tongue to give praise unto God. Praise also releases our faith into the atmosphere by praising God with the Word of faith. I’m learning more and more the importance of paying attention to details. The Bible says that faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God, Rom. 10:17.

Vision is the fire and combustion to those who see what others do not. That inner combustion is fueled by the imagination, pictures, and the dreams of those things desired that we don’t have presently. We’re convinced of the sight that we see with our faith but not yet visible to the natural eyes. We walk by faith and not by sight. How far I see is the potential for how much I will achieve. If I don’t see anything then I’m not going to achieve anything, but whatever I see in my spirit, I have the potential to achieve. What we envision, imagine, picture in our minds is the starting point. It’s the beginning of changing our present state of affairs for the future. It’s our down payment towards a better tomorrow and then we make installment payments toward that vision in order that the vision come to pass. We work the vision, never taking our eyes off of what God have given us, what we have seen, what we have imagined, and what we have pictured in our minds. Then, faith without works is dead. A vision is no greater than the desire and the action to achieve it. Never give up on your dreams. Never give up on your vision. It’s not just for you, but it’s to be a blessing to the multitudes. The vision is to inspire generations. God gave Abraham a vision that would inspire generations. Genesis 22:17-18 (KJV): ¹⁷ That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; ¹⁸ And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.

Because of sin death entered the earth separating men from God’s best for their lives. Poverty, sickness, and lack have never been the plan of God for mankind. Man was created in the image and likeness of God, and should never accept anything less than what God says, and God said in Genesis 1:26-27 (KJV): ²⁶ And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. ²⁷ So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Notice that God gave man dominion over fish, fowl, cattle, all the earth, and over creeping things. Nowhere in Gen. 1:26, 27, does it say man shall have dominion over other men. Man was created in the image and likeness of God, and sin keeps us separated from God’s best and I know that, for me, I hunger and thirst after my God and am looking forward to the full restoration and completion of our redemption, and until then I refuse to listen to the enemies of my soul including evil and wickedness in high places such as governments, whether local or nationally. Habakkuk 1:4 (KJV): ⁴ Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth. It will fail. Righteousness will win over darkness. The God-image will not let wicked people, wicked rulers, nor wicked governments prevail. 2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV): ¹⁴ If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

As we celebrate this blessed Mother’s Day there are so many precious memories of moms taking care of us growing up and even after becoming adults, we dare not forget the upbringing we all received at the loving care of our mothers. Mothers have shaped the world because they shaped the lives of those who rule it. More than anything though is that in our mothers we see the love of God through them. After all, even the Lord draws an analogy between natural parents and their relationship with their children, and our heavenly Father and His relationship with the children of God. Matthew 7:7-11 (KJV):
⁷ Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: ⁸ For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. ⁹ Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? ¹⁰ Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? ¹¹ If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? A mother’s love is priceless, unconditional, and unmatched by any. I was in my yard cleaning up one evening and suddenly a bird flew quite close to me and done it several times and I was like, “What in the world?” Then as I investigated further, I noticed that what was obviously the mother bird, flew back into the hedges where she had a nest with a little one in it. She was protecting her young. I thought to myself, “Wow! That mother bird is willing to fight with a human being 50 times her size to protect her young than to sit idly by while something happens to them.” Awesome. Happy Mother’s Day to all of our wonderful mothers.

In a hostile generation it is needful that every Christian know who they are in God, or many will fall prey to the lies of the devil. Truth is the weapon of choice against lies and deception. God’s Word is truth, and it is life. No wonder that iniquity abounds in a world that will accept a lie before truth can get its boots strapped on. Amazing how that is, that people will accept a lie without checking it out, making sure of its validity, or even checking out reputable resources for a second opinion. Listening to voices who do not have your best interest at heart is like trusting a toddler to do brain surgery on your brain. The Bible is the source of all truth and everything else should be compared to what God’s Word reveals and if it does not align with the Word of God then it is rejected as truth. God reveals in Gen. 1:26, 27 that He created man in His image and in His likeness. In Dr. Fredrick K. C. Price’s book titled: “Race, Religion, & Racism, A Bold Encounter With Division in the Church,” volume 1, in chapter 3 titled: “In God’s Image,” Dr. Price says: “In the Hebrew language, in which the Old Testament was originally written, the word for “image” and “likeness” found in Genesis 1:26 is tselem. Tselem comes from a root word meaning “form,” and, in addition to likeness and image, it implies “resemblance,” or a “representative figure.” This tells us that man is a copy or counterpart of God. Since God made man in His image (tselem); if we want to find out about man, we must first find out what God is. Then we will know what we are, because we are God’s tselem, copy or counterpart.” That’s all men, not just black men, or white men, or brown men, or yellow men, but all men! Though sin separated man from God in the Garden, Jesus made a way for the restoration of the God-image, Rom. 10:9, 10. All men can be restored to the likeness and image of the Creator and know who they are in Christ Jesus and walk in that revelation by faith.

Resurrection Sunday is one of the most holy and powerful celebrations for so many reasons. First of all, without the resurrection Christianity would fall apart. Like all other religious founders, if Christ had not risen then He would still be in the grave, or at least His body would still be in the grave. Christianity would be no different than all other religions whose founders you would still find their remains wherever they were laid. The other very powerful consequence from the resurrection, surprisingly, is not taught or preached about with the prominence that it should be and that is, when it comes to the resurrection it is directly part of the restoration of the God-image inside of them that believe as witnessed by the following scriptures: Romans 6:4 (KJV): ⁴ Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. Colossians 2:12 (KJV): ¹² Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. 2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV): ¹⁷ Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. Colossians 3:1-3 (KJV): ¹ If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. ² Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. ³ For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. Galatians 2:20 (KJV): ²⁰ I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. The “new man” is the resurrected man living the resurrected life in Christ Jesus. We too, as Lazarus was resurrected from natural death back to a natural life, were raised from spiritual death to spiritual life. With that resurrection from spiritual death came the revelation of the God-image and our relationship with God. Today’s message will explore that reality.

Today is resurrection Sunday, the event where not only was Jesus raised up from the grave, but so were we, Colossians 2:12 (KJV): ¹² Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. Since we have been raised up with Christ we are raised up to newness of life, Romans 6:4 (KJV): ⁴ Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. The Christian’s life is hid in Christ, Colossians 3:3 (KJV): ³ For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. That’s how the Father sees us, hid in Christ. He doesn’t see your past mistakes and God’s not condemning you and I because Romans 10:9-10 (KJV) reads: ⁹ That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. ¹⁰ For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. We live resurrected lives unto Christ now. We’re not our own, but we are bought with a price. The resurrected life is a life of faith in Jesus Christ, Galatians 2:20 (KJV): ²⁰ I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. That resurrected life is the transformed life as revealed in Romans 12:2 (KJV): ² And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. The word transformed is from the Greek word metamorpho whereas we get our English word metamorphosis which is the change as when a caterpillar is transformed into a butterfly. His inner systems as well as his outer systems are completely changed in the metamorphosis process. 2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV): ¹⁷ Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. When Jesus was resurrected, so were we, to a new life as unto God and not unto men, Col. 3:23.

Being spiritually minded, according to the Word of God, is to be aware of and understanding what the plans and purposes of God are, yielding to those plans and purposes all to His glory. A people humbled in His presence. The only wise and true God be glory and majesty, dominion and power, forever and ever. To know Him is the greatest honor and privilege in this life. We are a blessed people that are called by His name. His ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts. The Bible reveals that there is another realm that is even more real than the one we see in the natural. The reality of the spirit realm is God’s revelation to man and the possibility of the impossible being unlocked to them that believe. That’s what the generals of the faith teach us in Heb. 11. We too, have access into this realm where the impossible becomes possible. I’m convinced that, for the most part, we, the people of God, have not tapped into the authority and power that are the children’s bread, our covenant rights, paid for by the blood of the Lamb, our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. He paid the price so that you and I could know that this awesome God that we love and serve has yours and my best interest at heart. He not only provides our every need, but He is the guarantee of the covenant. Once we tap into this realm by faith, like many that I call generals of the faith, life becomes that rest because we’ve learned to trust in God more than anything else. He gives us a promise, Matthew 11:28-30 (KJV): ²⁸ Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. ²⁹ Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. ³⁰ For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

As we seek God concerning the spiritual and the natural, we can find in the Word of God powerful examples of what it takes to have a life that walks by faith and not by sight. The Bible reveals a people committed to a life set apart for the glory of God. They were people just like all other people except they had faith in God. Their faith in God set them apart then and our faith in God sets us apart now. What an encouragement to present-day Believers when they see in God’s Word how saints of old coped with their storms and trials of their faith. They weren’t given anything more special to deal with their tests than what we have. They weren’t given anything except what were their covenant rights and what was considered the children’s bread. Honestly, we are the more blessed as it relates to the Old & New Covenants. We have the better covenant with better promises. We have the Holy Spirit dwelling inside of us. The Old Testament saints did not have the blessing of the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit like the New Covenant Church enjoys today. We have more revelation. We’re under grace and not under the law. We are the more blessed because the Old Testament was the New Testament concealed, and the New Testament is the Old Testament revealed. Jesus is our Guarantee of the New Covenant. Ours is the generation with the revelation of the God-man, the Christ, God in the flesh, Immanuel, the second person of the trinity, by whose name is the only name under heaven by which men must be saved. Therefore, in all honesty, we’re in the most blessed time for the Church. We live in the age of the Spirit outpouring and the Lord’s soon return. Amen!

When you and I are faced with impossible odds against us we remain strong realizing that what may be impossible with man is possible with God because all things are possible with the Lord. Faith defies the odds. Matthew 19:26 (KJV): ²⁶ But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. That’s why for the people of God life is always our choice when facing the odds against us. Faith in the Word is our lifeline, 1 John 5:4-5 (KJV): ⁴ For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. ⁵ Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? Regardless of the pressure to follow our senses the mature Christian knows that the only choice is to stand on the promises of God and sometimes those options can seem very blurry which way to go, but the Holy Spirit will help us make the right decisions. He will guide us and lead us into all truth. Our faith is our victory right now, present tense, and our test will always be, will we follow God, or will we follow our senses? The choice is ours. Deuteronomy 30:19 (KJV): ¹⁹ I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live. To choose life is to choose His Word because His Word is life, John 6:63 (KJV): ⁶³ It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. John 10:10 (KJV):
¹⁰ The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

1 John 5:14-15 (KJV): ¹⁴ And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: ¹⁵ And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. The confidence, or assurance that we have in Christ is that whatever we ask God that’s aligned with His Word, then we can believe Him for it and know that we will receive it. Again, the Bible reads in John 14:13-14 (KJV): ¹³ And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. ¹⁴ If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. Asking anything in Jesus name means to ask in the authority of Jesus name in that we have been given the power-of-attorney meaning that when we act in the authority of Jesus it’s as if Jesus was doing it Himself. We have been given the authority to do the works of Christ, Matthew 16:18-19 (KJV): ¹⁸ And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. ¹⁹ And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. If I can find out what the Word of God says about any situation in my life then I can believe God for that and in expectation look forward to receiving which is what His Word teaches, Mark 11:22-24 (KJV): ²² And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. ²³ For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. ²⁴ Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

Proverbs 3:9-10 (KJV): ⁹ Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: ¹⁰ So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. To honor the Lord with our substance is the fruit of our reverence and respect. When you treat someone as if they are of value to you then they are of value to you. 1 Timothy 5:17 (KJV): ¹⁷ Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. The word honor here in 1 Tim. 5:17 is from the Greek word time, pronounced teemay, and it means a value that is money, paid or valuables. Esteem (especially of the highest degree) or the dignity itself:- honour, precious, price, some. Honor is a word that is becoming extinct in this generation, but still, as students of the Word, it is key to receiving the blessings of God. Ephesians 6:1-3 (KJV): ¹ Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. ² Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) ³ That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. God’s Word promises longevity to them that honor their father and mother. This is what Abraham teaches us when he was returning from war to free his nephew Lot in Gen. 14. Abraham met the high priest Melchizedec. Melchizedec blessed Abraham and the Bible says that Abraham paid tithes unto Melchizedec. There are types and shadows going on in this exchange. Abraham represented the Levitical priesthood and the law that were in his loins, Heb. 7:9, 10. Melchizedec was a type of Christ, Ps. 110:4. Abraham honored Melchizedec when he gave tithes unto him, Heb. 7:4-7, revealing that the ministry of Christ is a more excellent ministry than was the law of Moses, a better covenant with better promises.

Todays Pastor’s Pen is dedicated to CCC’s youth and the youth leaders who work with them. Today is youth Sunday, since our first youth Sunday after the pandemic was last first Sunday, and I am excited to see these youth of CCC getting more involved in the ministry. They bring fresh energy and excitement to the ministry. We should instill in them as much of the teachings of Jesus Christ we can while we have them with us. They are precious in the sight of the Lord and should be precious in our sight as well. God have trusted us to be responsible for their spiritual, mental, and physical wellbeing. At one point the Lord warned that it would be better for a man to tie a millstone around his neck and jump into the water and commit suicide than to offend one of these little ones, Matt. 18:6. Practically in every worship service one or more of the youth come up to me sharing their ideas with me or just to say, “Hey Pastor,” but not a service goes by that I don’t interact with them, sometimes several of the youth at one time. I also would like to take this opportunity to encourage all of CCC’s youth to go on CCC’s website at cccwaverly.org and when you come into the home page just scroll down to the bottom of the page and there you will find where you can sign up on our website and that way you will have another way by which you can communicate with myself, Pastor Muchison, and share your ideas or just to shoot-the-breeze with me. Just another way of reaching out to the youth and letting them know that you are loved and appreciated. Also, to all of the youth leaders, your leadership is obvious by the success of CCC’s youth program. Thank you all for your sacrifice and commitment. You have done a great job keeping it all together.

As we progress into this year of 2025 the Word of God is clear concerning the times that we find ourselves in. It’s a time of prophecy coming to pass. The outpouring of the Holy Spirit in this generation is a sign of the times. The young men seeing visions, the elder men dreaming dreams, servants and handmaidens receiving the fullness of the Holy Spirit is all coming to pass and this present-day Church is in the midst of all that God is doing in this hour. The plans and purposes of the kingdom do not hinge on the plans and purposes of the world. God’s will shall be done on earth as it is in Heaven. His will for them that believe shall be done and our part is to stay focused on the kingdom. We walk by faith and not by sight regardless of current events. We are blessed. Our children are blessed. Our spouses are blessed. Our families are blessed. Our fellow Christians are blessed. That was the children’s bread under the Old Covenant, Deut. 28:1-14. Yet, we’ve obtained a better covenant with better promises in Christ, Heb. 8:6. The Word is our lamp and light. The Holy Spirit is our guide. Most importantly our personal relationship with God, our fellowship, communion, coupled with prayer, praise, and worship, all of which ensures our understanding of the times, plans, and purposes of God for our generation. As we remain steadfast, unmovable, and always abounding in the work of the Lord, we are reminded of these things while also keeping our loved ones, fellow saints, neighbors, and friends, and even our enemies, lifted up in prayer and believing God that in spite of what it looks like, we don’t walk by what it looks like but by what the Word of God says. Isaiah 55:11 (KJV): ¹¹ So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Matthew 5:13-16 (KJV) 13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. 14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Notice that Jesus did not say that the Church is the way by which men must be saved. Jesus is the only name under Heaven by which men must be saved. He did not say if you confess with your mouth the Church, but if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in you heart that God raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. God never commanded the Church to save anybody. Of course we want men to be saved, but only God can save men. What He commanded the Church to do is be the salt of the earth, that city on a hill, and the light of the world. To be salt is to use our influence to encourage others to Christ and be that example before them so that they see God in us. To be the light is to be living epistles, living examples of what and how a Christian ought to live. A city on a hill is letting the world see your example in Christ, by your actions. The Church is commissioned to go into the world and preach the gospel, Matt. 28:18-20; to be a witness, Acts 1:8; and to be a light, Matt. 5:13-16. We can’t save anybody but like many of those who we were influenced by, we can be light to this generation. Ours is to be an influence, nudging men to Christ as they see our example and His goodness. Light in darkness leads people to salvation. We can’t save anyone, but we can lead them to the One who can.

There’s a storm out, over the ocean, and it’s moving this old way. If your soul’s not, anchored in Jesus, you will surely drift away. Drift away Lord, drift away Lord. You will surely drift away. If your soul’s not, anchored in Jesus, you will surely drift away. What an appropriate song for such a time as this. We had better be anchored in the Lord, for when the rains come, and the winds blow, and the floods, and the storms come, because they will come, our trust had better be in Christ. Everything is going down but the Word of God. Matthew 5:18 (KJV): ¹⁸ For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. There’s also another thing that’s coming, and that is that the will of God being done on this earth as it is in Heaven. God will purge the old things away in this earth and He will make all things new. 2 Peter 3:10-13 (KJV): ¹⁰ But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. ¹¹ Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, ¹² Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? ¹³ Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. The people of God are blessed because we have His Word, the light and the lamp, to guide us and illuminate the path ahead for us that we may know that the time is at hand and His coming is nearer than before. Be ye ready when He comes.

The 21 Day Consecration is always a blessing to my spirit man, but this 2025 21 Day Consecration was especially uplifting in the Word of faith concerning this season of outpouring. God said by the prophet Joel in Joel 2:28-29 (KJV): ²⁸ And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: ²⁹ And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. Peter quoted that prophesy by Joel on the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit was given to the Church, the called out ones, the ekklesia. Many in the Church today called the day of Pentecost the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. It was a prophesy revealed by other watchmen in the kingdom as well. Ezekiel 36:26-27 (KJV): ²⁶ A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. ²⁷ And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. In the denominational Churches there are different emphasis on what demonstrates you’ve received the Holy Spirit. Speaking in tongues, shouting or dancing in the Holy Ghost, the new birth, being endued with power, experiencing visions and dreams, and all of these are scriptural, but in Ezekiel there’s some very powerful revelation concerning the Holy Spirit’s outpouring and that is that God said He would give His people a new heart and take away the stony heart. By His Spirit He would also cause His people to walk in His statutes, keep His judgments, and do them. That is the greatest sign that others can see that is a sure sign that you have God’s Spirit on the inside of you. You will obey His commandments and do them.

Saints, don’t be distracted by current events as they are being unveiled on a regular basis now. Our hearts have been trained to the true and living God and there’s no God like our God. Even if I turn my head from looking at all the proof of His existence by the things that He have created, it don’t change the revelation of God and whether we believe in Him or not, He’s still God. We live in a world of calling right wrong and wrong right, good evil and evil good, like it’s no big deal at all. Well, it’s a huge deal. It’s a Heaven or Hell big deal. Yet, the world goes on like we’re all going to live in our present state forever. Men live like there is no God, as if there won’t be an accounting before God of the deeds we’ve committed in these bodies, as if there won’t be a judgment for all people. Many are deceived today, but did not the Word of God warn us of these things? Luke 17:26-30 (KJV): ²⁶ And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. ²⁷ They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. ²⁸ Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; ²⁹ But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. ³⁰ Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. The Word is our lamp and our light to guide us through the waters of this life until we fulfill our destinies. 1 John 2:15-17 (KJV): ¹⁵ Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. ¹⁶ For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. ¹⁷ And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

If I stop seeing, I stop dreaming. If I stop dreaming, I stop living. If I stop living, I start dying, and the devil is a liar. I want to live and not die, and in living, I am full of vision, seeing, and dreaming. I am full of enthusiasm, life, and expectation. Faith is expectation. I’m full of expectancy. My faith is in expectation 24-7’s. How could we not be full of expectation when we’re full of the Word of God. Hebrews 11:1 (KJV): ¹ Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. If we lose hope then we find ourselves in a bad place. Hope keeps us alive. Hope keeps us looking forward to the next day. Hope is a part of faith along with expectation. Hope is that life spark that keeps us putting our left foot in front of our right foot, in other words hope keeps us engaged. We need hope and that hope is in nothing less than Jesus Christ and His righteousness. God gives us hope through visions and dreams just like He did with Abraham, Isaac, & Jacob. Just the fact that He gives men visions, and dreams is proof that God communicates through those means. He wants us to live! Father, help us not to leave any vision or dream when we finish our course in this life, but let us run this race with patience looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. This same Jesus is coming back for His glorious Church without spot or wrinkle. See, that’s the other thing that plays a part in our hope today and that is that this is about eternity. We’ve got to see pass this earthly pilgrimage and see the eternal. Our hope is in a kingdom that will be established on earth by our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. A kingdom that will never be destroyed but will be a kingdom from everlasting to everlasting to the glory of God.

God gave Joseph a couple of dreams in Gen. 37 when Joseph was at the young age of 17. The dreams basically revealed that Joseph would become ruler over his parents and his older brothers. Joseph was 30 years of age when he became ruler in Egypt under Pharaoh, 13 years from the day he received the dreams until their fulfillment. What happened between the dreams and their fulfillment is worth noting because Christians often see the glory of those blessed leaders in the kingdom of God not knowing the story behind their success. Joseph was thrown in a pit by his own brothers. Then they took him out of the pit only to be sold into slavery. He was lied on and accused of sexual harassment by Potiphar’s wife. Potiphar threw Joseph into prison. It was in prison where Joseph interpreted the dreams of a butler and a baker. The baker, when released from prison, heard that Pharaoh also dreamed a dream but was not privy to it’s interpretation. The baker spoke to Pharaoh of Joseph and God used Joseph to interpret the dream for Pharaoh and he gave him understanding on what to do to prepare Egypt for the years of plenty and the years of famine. Pharaoh then promoted Joseph second only to him. 13 years from the promise to it’s fulfillment. Many would have given up and thrown in the towel. Joseph’s faith was in his God though. Even though his own brothers wronged him Joseph understood that the hand of God was upon him to set him up for the establishing of the nation of Israel. Every great leader in the Bible had their battles and much opposition. Moses, Elijah, the Apostles, Jesus, etc., and we too should not think it strange for the fights we find ourselves in, especially if you’re being used mightily for His glory. We become stronger, better, and wiser. To God be the glory for the great things He have done.

The clock is ticking and here we are in a new season as 2024 has ended and we’re now in this new season of 2025, “The Season of Visions.” The season of “seeing” what the Father sees for our lives. Visions, pictures, imaginations, to gaze at, to see our future and where we’re going before we get there. Knowing that God have given His people the grace for victory and to achieve, accomplish and bring to pass every dream He have sowed into our hearts. Victory over every obstacle, every hinderance and opposition, including the sin and weight that so easily besets us. Our minds are made up. As Elder Massey would say sometimes, “I’ve drawn the line devil.” But we’ve got to see it. See it in our minds. Proverbs 23:7 (KJV): ⁷ For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. In Mark 8:22-26, a blind man was brought to Jesus for the Lord to heal him. Jesus spit on his eyes and asked the man what he saw, and the blind man said, “I see men as trees walking.” Jesus then put His hands upon his eyes the second time, and the man was completely healed in his eyes and could see clearly. The Lord is opening our eyes to the devices of the enemy that we may see clearly, and without any kind of confusion, the thing that weighs His people down, not only is the Lord taking the mask off the devil, and not only is the Lord revealing what’s blocking and trying to stop us, trying to derail our faith and get us to focus on our problems more so than the answer, which is Jesus Christ, but God is giving us the grace, power, and authority to get the victory over it. But what’s our part to do? The Lord is not going to do our part, and we can’t do His part. The sooner we get the sight in our minds that we can do it, the sooner it will get done. Peace!

This time of year is a humbling time for me because of the great love demonstrated by our God. An unconditional love that I can’t imagine in my mind what this world would be like without the love of God. We can see what this age is like without His love and the rejection of that love by many today. Yet, you and I are very blessed that we are recipients of and have accepted the love of the Father. He gave the apex of His love through His Son, our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ, the gift that keeps on giving. He has carried me from my first breath to the last breath that I breathe. He has always been there for me and I love Him with all my heart with all my mind and with all my soul. This Christmas season is an awesome time of celebration. I imagine the wise men that came unto the consolation of Israel and brought expensive gifts unto the baby Jesus and worshipped Him as we should worship Him today. I can imagine in my mind the excitement in their hearts as they were guided by the bright and shining star to the One who would take away the sin of the world. How their hearts raced with anticipation to see Emmanuel, God with us. The Savior of the world was right there before their eyes and they would be blessed to witness it. His birth brought peace into the world, peace with our Creator and peace with one another. As the angel heralded in Luke 2:14 (KJV): ¹⁴ Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. And that is where this time of year is so humbling and consoling to me, that His peace is accessible and present for all. My prayer for our world is that it receives the peace of God, that troubled hearts are healed, and unsettling minds are calmed by the knowledge of Him and the hurting stops, and the celebration of life begins. Enjoy a prosperous Christmas everyone and a blessed New Year.

Vision is absolutely necessary whether we’re talking about an individual or group such as the local Church body. God gave Abraham a vision of His plans and purposes for his life and Abraham caught that vision and ran with it. The vision that God gave to Abraham was far reaching from his day to all future believers with like faith as was Abraham’s. The seed that God spoke to Abraham about was none other than our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. Yes, Abraham’s seeds (with an “s”) included his natural posterity but when God spoke of the 2 ^nd . person of the trinity he used the word seed singular, Galatians 3:29 (KJV) : ²⁹ And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. Galatians 3:16 (KJV): ¹⁶ Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. Galatians 3:6-7 (KJV): ⁶ Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. ⁷ Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. The vision that God gave Abraham was bigger than Abraham. If we can bring the vision to pass without God, then our vision is too small. The vision is bigger than us because just like the vision that God gave Abraham, it’s not just about us, but it’s about souls coming into a saving knowledge of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. It’s about reaching our relatives, our friends, neighbors, and co-workers for Christ. It’s not just about having religious meetings but what goes on after those meetings. What are we doing when the meetings are over? It’s about evangelizing the world and changing lives through the message of Christ with the help of God because the vision is bigger than any man or group of men for the vision is of God. Amen, amen, and amen!

Can you believe we are in December of 2024? One season is about to end, and another is soon to begin. Thank God for keeping us in both. As we enter into this next phase of our faith walk, may the Lord grant us wisdom, knowledge, and revelation concerning His plans and purposes for our lives. God gave me a vision in 2002, “Building lives through the message of Christ.” That is, building lives, to build families, to build communities, to build our world, through the message that God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. A vision whereas to accommodate bringing it to pass through ministry gifts of preaching and teaching sound doctrine from crib to grave the wonderful truths of God’s Word and demonstrating by practicing what we preach, that there is a God in Heaven who saves, sets free, and delivers. By these we glorify Him as His Word commands us to let our lights shine before men that they may see our good works and glorify our Father which is in Heaven. That’s why we established the 21 Day Consecration for a time set aside for prayer and fasting to get in the presence of God and to honor Him with the first fruits of the new year that He may bless the remainder of the year. As this is the dressing up room down here on this earth, the preparation for eternity for that which have not been imagined nor have entered the heart of men that God have prepared for His people. But not just when we transition to glory, but God would have us blessed on this side of Heaven. As His people, we should be in expectation of His will being manifested in our lives when we obey Him. Our future place in eternity reaches back to our present day to encourage the saints of God to focus on eternity and as the faith characters of Hebrews 11:13 (KJV): ¹³ These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

We’ll never understand nor comprehend the ways of the all-knowing omniscient God. The all-sufficient One who knows that which has been, that which is, and that which is to come. Psalm 139:7-8 (KJV): ⁷ Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? ⁸ If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. When I think of the awesomeness of the God of my salvation, how One so great as He, yet who loved mankind so much that He suffered for us to have life, how much more would He provide for those He suffered for, now that we name the name above all names. He knows all things concerning His people before they happen. Surely the God of the Bible has orchestrated with our best interest at heart. His people must be mindful of these things and not to be mindful of those things that are contrary to the revelation of our God. He who sustains all life, even to the smallest life unseen by the naked eye, maintains the entire creation, teaches the eagle to take care of it’s young, the caterpillar when to cocoon for it’s transformation, and knows our end before our beginning, also knows every storm we will face, every ambush the enemy sets for us, every high point and every low point, and if He takes care of the sparrow, and the grass of the field, the birds of the air, and even the ant we are encouraged to see the wisdom given the ant, the same God of which words can’t do justice to reveal Him in all of His glory, watches over His saints and when we call on Him He hears our cry. He’s still a healer. He’s still a way maker. He still provides. He’s the same, yesterday, today, and forever, therefore there’s a rest for the people of God when we mix the Word of God with faith.

Alright, I’m going to warn everyone right now, especially the youth. I’m getting ready to sound like an old man. Here’s why. Time does not automatically change things but over a period of time things do change. This is true in Christendom as well. As I listen to some of the old preachers and teachers of the gospel, I am amazed at the difference of messages and messaging. Even when things don’t necessarily change for any one particular item, everything around it is changing, therefore, in that context it’s changing as well. That’s exactly what has happened in the realm of confessing Christianity. I say confessing Christianity because I don’t know who’s saved and who’s not. Whether they are truly saved only God knows. My point being that the changes around the Church world have influenced it to the point that those old preachers that I mentioned would roll over in their graves if they could see the confessing Church today. Whether or not their preaching would be received today will never be known, but the Bible they preached from is still the same, so the confessing Church has changed, not the Bible. Christians are to live consecrated lives, set apart to the glory of God according to His Word, a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, to show forth the praises of Him who delivered us out of darkness into His marvelous light. Instead, many confessing Christians look more like the world. Remember, the Bible has not changed. Lying is still wrong. Murder is still wrong. Dishonoring your parents is still wrong. Fowl language is still wrong. Hating other people is still wrong, and all that God says is wrong, but we have watered the gospel down so to the point that we can’t even tell the difference between right and wrong, or at least we won’t, but this generation has fallen far from the tree of it’s Creator. The time has come though, when judgment will begin in His house of God, 1 Pet. 4:17, and men will be without excuse.

Matthew 19:26 (KJV): ²⁶ But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. What may be impossible with man is possible with God because all things are possible with the Lord. One subject that is a concern to many Christians is the subject of forgiveness. The Bible reveals in 1 John 1:9 (KJV): ⁹ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Also in 1 John 2:1 (KJV): ¹ My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. We whom are “in Christ” are clothe in His righteousness. Romans 3:22 (KJV): ²² Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference. Our identification with Christ qualifies us for every gospel benefit, including the forgiveness of sins. Colossians 2:13 (KJV): ¹³ And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened (or made alive) together with him, ( emphasis mine) having forgiven you all trespasses. Psalm 103:12 (KJV): ² As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. Knowing that we are forgiven shuts the accuser of the brethren down as it relates to our past mistakes, shortcomings, insufficiencies, deficiencies, whether we’re good enough, righteous enough, etc., and the assurance that the Believer has is their salvation is secure “in Christ.” It doesn’t mean that we’re mature spiritually because we’re growing and being transformed by the renewing of our minds as clearly revealed throughout scripture which is where we have to understand that just because a Christian may be struggling in a certain area doesn’t mean that they’re not saved, but that they’re growing spiritually, 1 Cor. 3:1-3.

The state of Florida must be storm weary after having back-to-back hurricanes. Helene and Milton hit the state within a two-week period. Insurance companies have exited the state due to the volume of claims in the storm ravaged state making it harder to afford flood insurance in Florida and many don’t have the flood insurance coverage consequently devastating many homeowners financially. Our area has been blessed many times during the past several storms and if you’re like me, I’m very thankful to God for keeping us. I know that there are praying people in Florida and North Carolina as well and our prayers are with those people as lives were lost and much devastation in those and surrounding areas. The one blessed part concerning hurricanes though is our meteorologists have gotten better at predicting the paths of the storms, though Helene caught the meteorologists and the rest of us off guard when it wobbled more easterly than forecasted resulting in the devastation of North Carolina. For the most part though, hurricanes are monitored long in advance of their path of travel and people know that it’s best to be prepared long before the storms approach our area. We’re constantly being encouraged in storm preparation, storm kits, plan of escape route, have extra food, batteries, flashlights, generators, etc. It should be a lesson to us for dealing with the storms of life. You shouldn’t wait until you get into a storm before you do something about it. We should have the Word so down in us that when our trial or test comes, we make the necessary spiritual and emotional adjustments to weather every storm. Matthew chapter six is such a chapter that edifies, builds us up, and brings us comfort knowing that He knows what we have need of.

In a high paced world where technology is advancing at warp speed and knowledge is increasing at a phenomenal rate, it can be mind blowing to keep up with it all. Yet keep up we must. We cannot expect a horse and buggy to keep up when we’re in a jet age. This especially is a warning for the contemporary Church. These new technologies and advancements can be used for evil purposes as well as for the good. Good people can take advantage of these advancements and help the poor, create jobs, build better schools, and better the quality of life for all people. I’ve always admired those leaders who promote securing the best that we can secure for all people regardless of your financial status, gender, ethnicity, or any of the other things that divide people. The leaders who impacted our world more from a positive perspective were those leaders who had a compassion for people. They are the real heroes. The Church too, must stay relevant with the times in which we live if we are to be as effective as we can be by taking full advantage as much as lie within us, of what has been made available to us and use it to the glory of God. We must not become complacent and indifferent by turning our heads as if these opportunities are not there. They are here and if we don’t take advantage of these, Satan will. The Bible speaks of how in the end times travel and knowledge will increase, Daniel 12:4 (KJV):
⁴ But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. Any student of the Bible knows that we’re in the end times, therefore the Church, like the tribe of Issachar, 1 Chronicles 12:32 (KJV): ³² And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment.

Today’s message is about Christians having on the whole armor of God if we are to stand in the evil day. These are evil days. We are in spiritual warfare and therefore if we are going to stand, we are going to do it by spiritual means. So, we are to be prepared by the gospel message for this faith journey. The helmet of salvation is knowing and understanding this great salvation. The breastplate of righteousness is the knowledge that Christ is our righteousness and our salvation. Knowing who we are in Christ is key to the Believer’s victory. Above all, making sure your shield of protection, which is your faith, is strong in the Lord. Having the two-edged sword of the Word as your weapon. Though prayer is not symbolized there in Eph. 6:18 as part of the armor, certainly without it the rest of the armor won’t work. I left out one part of the whole armor of God on purpose because I personally think that it is the most violated. In Eph. 6:14 (KJV) the Bible reads: “Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth.” Desiring truth, and the truth, should be the aim of everyone who names the name of Jesus. Without it nothing holds up in the armor of God because His Word is truth and if we won’t receive the truth then we won’t receive His Word. John 17:17 (KJV): ¹⁷ Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. The Bible is clear that in the end times one of the casualties of the age will be truth. We see the erosion of morality throughout our society and with that the uprising of falsehoods, heresies, conspiracy theories, lies, half-truths, deception, etc. Truth evades them who place their own selfish and self-centered desires over and above what is right regardless of who it hurts or destroys. That’s not the Spirit of Christ. Christ is compassionate, considerate, sacrificing, selfless, and full of grace and truth and those who are His are lovers of the truth. If we want to be on the winning team then we’d better be on the side of truth. Amen!

Let’s turn up the heat saints! Time to turn up the heat on the enemy. We recognize his devices and God have unmasked the devil by His Word. Satan is a real enemy of the saints, but God have given His Church victory over the enemy as witnessed by the following scriptures. 1 John 3:8 (KJV): ⁸ He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 1 Peter 5:8-9 (KJV): ⁸ Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: ⁹ Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. Luke 10:19 (KJV): ¹⁹ Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Revelation 12:10-11 (KJV): ¹⁰ And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. ¹¹ And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. James 4:7 (KJV): ⁷ Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. And so forth and so on we witness the glory of God throughout the Word of God and through faith in His Word the Church is loaded with precious promises that result in favor, favor, favor, on it . 1 John 5:4-5 (KJV): ⁴ For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. ⁵ Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

The Lord is preparing the Church for His soon return. He’s not returning for a weak defeated Church, but for a glorious Church washed in the blood of the Lamb. A Church full of faith and power, understanding the times and what the Church ought to do. The end time Church will not go out with less power than the newborn New Testament Church, but when Jesus return, the Church will be victorious and mighty in the Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians 1:17-23 (KJV): ¹⁷ That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
¹⁸ The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
¹⁹ And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, ²⁰ Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, ²¹ Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: ²² And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, ²³ Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all. Every Believer should spend much time studying Eph. 1:17-23 until they get a full understanding of this revelation. The Church has been given power and authority from on high through Christ . 1 John 5:4-5 (KJV): ⁴ For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. ⁵ Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

Exodus 33:17-23 (KJV): ¹⁷ And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name. ¹⁸ And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory. ¹⁹ And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy. ²⁰ And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live. ²¹ And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock: ²² And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by: ²³ And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen. This is one of the most intriguing verses of scriptures to me as it relates to the glory of God. Man cannot see God and live. No man can see God, in all of His glory, and live. I do believe we will be able to see God in our glorified bodies and spiritually as we see the tribulation saints in the book of the Revelation before they receive their glorified bodies. We will be with God forever and ever in His presence in the New Jerusalem. Then, we will experience the glory of God at a whole new level. Then, we will know what we should know now on this side of glory, and that is “Our God is the awesome God.” We may not can see God in all of His glory now, but we can have faith in His revelation, the Bible, the Word of God, and the holy Scriptures. Like Moses though, we all want to see God in all of His glory and the only thing that we will be able to do is worship Him.

Romans 1:20 (KJV): ²⁰ For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse. Over the past several years I have learned to appreciate the power of this verse in Rom. 1:20. For the most part in my early years in ministry I’ve always put my focus on expounding on the things not perceived by the senses as it relates to the revelation of God’s Word. God reveals Himself by His Word through faith in His Word. But what about when you are confronted by those who confess to be atheists and do not believe? What is our answer to them concerning our faith in God? Besides, the Bible is clear that our flesh cannot discern these things, but they are spiritually discerned, 1 Corinthians 2:14 (KJV): ¹⁴ But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. Rom. 1:20 though, points to the handywork of God in what we do see, His creation. In an increasingly secular society, many people today, especially those in public school or higher education, face intense pressure to reject belief in God. In most colleges and universities, especially in the Western world, a great many young men and women who start out believing in God will eventually end up denying His existence. They are not prepared for the arguments from textbooks and classes taught by atheist and agnostic teachers. Douglas Ell, an MIT graduate in math and physics who also holds a law degree, was a longtime skeptic about God. Yet not any longer. In his 2014 book “Counting to God: A Personal Journey Through Science to Belief” he explains why he now accepts the existence of God. “Each year brings new scientific evidence of wonder, facts for which there are essentially no explanations without God, no believable way around the wonder.”

I am excited to be able to include in the announcements today that CCC will be reestablishing its Children’s Church the first Sunday in August. This is truly awesome for the ministry. I have practically every Sunday had one or several of the youth to ask me, “Pastor, when are we going to have our youth Church again?” I would always tell them,” We’re working on it.” No ministry can survive without investing in it’s young people. This is prayer being answered for me and I want to commend Sis. Vicky and the youth leaders for their determination to make it happen. I know that we’re short of help and thank God for Sis. Michelle Massey joining in to help with our Children’s Church as well as others who have stepped up to be of service in whatever capacity that they can. Your service is key to building a youth ministry that will ensure our young people are not left behind but are receiving spiritual nourishment when they are with us. I promise you that this will go far in the hearts and minds of these young people as well as be a blessing to their parents that there are constructive kingdom activities for their youth when they participate in our Church services. We teach that the vision is “Building lives through the message of Christ,” well, that must include our youth. From cradle to grave the Church should be the institution for training up our youth in the way that they should go and when they are old, they will not depart from it. One of the purposes for marriage and the family is to train up godly seed to the glory of God, Malachi 2:14-15 (KJV): ¹⁴ Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.
¹⁵ And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.

There is a heavy responsibility that comes with the knowledge of God. Having an understanding of God’s plans and will for man means that we now know what the will of God is and are responsible for following His Word or receiving the judgment, consequences, and punishment for disobeying God for judgment begins at the house of the Lord, 1 Peter 4:17-18 (KJV): ¹⁷ For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? ¹⁸ And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? The closer we are to God the more severe the judgment for disobeying Him and choosing darkness over light, Luke 12:47-48 (KJV): ⁴⁷ And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. ⁴⁸ But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more. Why would God’s judgment be more severe on those that are closest to Him? Because they know better. For those of us who know the will of God but choose to disregard His Word, the judgment is even the more severe because we know right from wrong yet still, we choose darkness over light. We are His people and should show forth the praises of Him who delivered us out of darkness into His marvelous light. Others are watching us, and we are to let our lights shine before men that they may see our good works and glorify our Father which is in Heaven.

Vision is acting like where you want to go before you get there. Bishop T. D. Jakes says that before you get to the next level you must acquire the discipline necessary to stay at that level or you’ll find yourself not prepared for the next level. You don’t want to wait until you get to the next level to prepare for it. You want to be ready so that when that next level window opens for you, you’re ready on day one to take advantage of that opportunity. Therefore, we want to obtain the discipline, skills, knowledge, tools, excellence, and integrity to, not only maintain the next level, but to focus on preparing for the next level after that. Praise the Lord! In order to do that we must be persistent, consistent, and committed to making it happen by always absorbing new knowledge concerning the area of interest where we want to go. Seeing it before you see it, or you never will see it is what vision and faith is all about. God gave Abraham a vision, a picture of where he was headed. Genesis 22:15-18 (KJV): ¹⁵ And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time, ¹⁶ And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son: ¹⁷ That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
¹⁸ And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice. Then we must be about our Father’s business in making it happen, not procrastinating, slacking, but plowing ahead with enthusiasm, determination, standing flat footed and flint faced calling the devil what he is. He’s a liar and the truth is not in him. Habakkuk 2:2 (KJV): ² And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

James 1:17 (KJV): ¹⁷ Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. We are blessed and every day should be thankful unto God. Everything good in our lives comes from above. Every day that God gives us is a blessing, especially so when those days find you in good health, your needs supplied, and in your right mind. God, I thank you. You are the source of every good thing in our lives and praise unto you is in order. The verse, James 1:17, calls God the Father of lights. The word light here in James 1:17 is from the Greek word phos, and it means to shine or make manifest especially by rays. Luminousness (in the widest application natural or artificial, abstract or concrete, literal or figurative):- fire, light. In this verse it’s figurative in expressing that every good thing, righteous thing, holy thing, all that is right and good originated from God and He is the source of all that is good. If we’re going to boast let us boast of His goodness, His mercy, and His grace. God is good and His mercy endureth to all generations. No flesh will glory in His presence but He gets all the praise, all the glory, and all the honor. As the Word says in John 1:4-5 (KJV): ⁴ In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
⁵ And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. God help us to understand that if we have learned to appreciate the light of the kingdom of God in our lives then we are blessed. We’re living in a generation where less and less have people learned that and God help the next generation because they’re going to need it. Thank God for the generation before us who let their light shine and influenced many into a saving knowledge.

2 Timothy 2:3-4 (KJV): ³ Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. ⁴ No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. Christians are compared to military soldiers, a powerful analogy that helps the Believer understand the warfare in which he or she is in. We’re in a spiritual warfare and there are similarities that can be drawn between a soldier in the military and Christians in the good fight of faith. Soldiers train for war, to fight, combat the enemy, and to defend their country. They’re prepared to die if necessary to protect the homeland, but they would rather make their enemy die for theirs. A soldier must know the devices of his enemy, or he can wind up a casualty himself. He must be in top physical shape and on top of his A-game. He takes his training seriously because he relies on his training to keep him alive. He can’t afford to be slack when it comes to his training because one mistake can cost him his life and the life of those in his squad or platoon. He must be sharp. He must be mindful of his influence on younger soldiers. The younger soldiers must see the example of how a real soldier carries himself. It wasn’t until I actually saw with my own eyes mature Christians actually practicing what they preached that it dawned on me that this faith walk was more than just going to worship services on Sunday morning, but it’s who I am, my life, my actions, my talk, my walk, in Him I live, and move, and have my being. Now I know the real spiritual warfare that we as Christians are in every day of the week, 24-7’s, 365 days a year, and the devil doesn’t go on vacation, and neither does God. It’s up to us whether we will be good soldiers in the kingdom of light.

We have the light of Christ within us and are lights in our own rights and should always be mindful of our influence on others that we should let our lights shine before men that they may see our good works and glorify our Father which is in Heaven. Our lights should shine brightest among those of our own households. Those of us who were raised in Christian environments ought to be thankful for our upbringings. It was only by the grace of God that you and I were blessed to be born in a home where God is glorified and where the Lord Jesus Christ is lifted up. We had no choice at all in that, but God blessed us to have Christian parents whose shoulders we stand upon today. God, I thank you and do not take for granted your goodness, your mercy, and your grace. All the praise, glory, and honor belong to you. John 1:14 (KJV): ¹⁴ And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil and He was the Word made flesh. We have the Word in us and if we have the Word in us and He destroyed the works of the devil then I too have the victory over the enemy of my soul, 1 John 3:8 (KJV): ⁸ He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Revelation 12:10-11 (KJV): ¹⁰ And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. ¹¹ And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. It’s by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony by which we will gain the victory in every area of our lives all to the glory of almighty God. Amen!

God is light, and in Him is no darkness, at all, according to 1 Jn. 1:5. God knows that if there’s a time that this world needs light, it’s in the present. The light of the Lord is all around us, but men choose to ignore the light. God’s light reveals His plans and purposes for man, unmask the enemy of our souls, show us the way to salvation, opens our eyes to that which cannot be seen in the natural but through faith we can see that there’s another realm that cannot be detected by the senses. God’s light reveals His love, an unconditional love that the Bible says that there’s no greater love than that a man gives his life for his friend. God loved us so much that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Through Christ we have access to God’s grace. This is why Satan fights so hard to blind men to the truth, because as the Word of God reveals in 2 Corinthians 4:3-4 (KJV): ³ But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: ⁴ In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. The longer men remain in darkness the more challenging it is to see the light of God’s Word and be delivered from the darkness. Men can stay in darkness so long that they begin to adjust and get use to the darkness and that is what is the most dangerous about remaining in and around darkness for long periods of time. We can get so used to darkness that what use to offend us doesn’t anymore because we’ve become de-sensitized and so it’s not as offensive or convicting to us. This is what is implied in Matthew 24:12 (KJV): ¹² And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold, so that because so much evil is present, others will be affected by it. Lord help us.

A great big “God bless you” to everyone who helped in the renovation project over the past several weeks in the main sanctuary. You all made it seem so easy and it only goes to prove that when the people of God get together with a mind to work, nothing can be withheld from them. With such short notice there were a lot of moving parts behind the scene that were crucial in planning so that everything could flow and flow it did. The Building Committee kept the contractors and Brunswick Floors on track, and the men of the ministry moved all of the furniture accordingly while the P. A. System & Sound Team took care of all of the sensitive equipment during that process. Our Minister of Music took care of moving keyboards, cords, and necessary equipment, while the ladies cleaned up at the final stage of the project. A special thanks to Embassy Suites who gave us a super deal on the rental of the Palmetto room where we were able to have alternative worship services during the renovations. I’m so proud of the Praise Team, Deacons, and Ushers for making the necessary adjustments to facilitate the worship services during that time. Of course, “hats off” to all of our Partners of CCC for your faithfulness during this time as well. Everyone may now benefit from the renovation of all the bathrooms, the floor in the main sanctuary, as well as the replacing and installation of brand spanking new carpet in the main sanctuary. Job well done CCC, and long overdue. Give yourselves a pat on the back and enjoy the fruit of your labor but lets not go into our comfort zones just yet. We still have a lot of work to do. There are still areas in the ministry that have yet to recover from the pandemic such as our youth program that I know we can pull that program back together with the help of the Lord. Great job CCC!

One of the pillars of our faith is faith. It’s amazing to me how great a salvation God have bestowed upon them that believe in their hearts and confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord. Have faith in God according to Mark 11:22-24 (KJV): ²² And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. ²³ For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. ²⁴ Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. Faith is more than just believing God for things, but it’s believing God, period. It’s the Believer’s way of life. It’s the kingdom’s way of doing things. Faith is the common thread throughout the Word of God, Old & New Testaments. Habakkuk 2:4 (KJV): ⁴ Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith. Without faith the Bible declares in Hebrews 11:6 (KJV): ⁶ But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. 1 Jn. 5:4, 5 (KJV) reveals that our victory is in our faith: ⁴ For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. ⁵ Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? Christ is our victory and it’s our faith in Him that brings that victory to fruition. Without faith we will receive nothing from God and whatever we speak against we’ll never receive either. Have faith in God.

Well praise God from whom all blessings flow. The renovations that are well under way at the Church are progressing smoothly and, as a matter of fact, it looks like Santiago Construction is ahead of schedule. God have given us favor with the weather and the work looks great. God is giving us favor in every area of this project as well and we give Him all of the praise, glory, & honor for the great things He has done. When we put feet to our faith God will be glorified, He’ll give us favor with God and man, and the work that He have begun in every one of us, He is faithful to complete it. We want to do ministry in the spirit of excellence and integrity. When we give God our all He said in His Word, Luke 6:38 (KJV): ³⁸ Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. God will give us favor with man. Our monetary giving will be blessed as well, 2 Corinthians 9:6-10 (KJV): ⁶ But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. ⁷ Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. ⁸ And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: ⁹ (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever. ¹⁰ Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;). We can’t outgive God. The more we give, the more He gives back to us. Favor, favor, favor, will flow in our direction and God be glorified. Hallelujah!

So, we’re moving right along with the renovations on the main sanctuary, and I want to take the time to, again, thank the men and young men for a great job working together to move all of the furniture and sound equipment out of the Church so we can begin working on the floors. This Sunday will be our first Sunday away from home, but Jesus said that where two or three or gathered together in His name then He is in the mist. I’m in expectancy as we press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling in Christ Jesus, forgetting those things which are behind. Moving forward to the glory of God. Amen! I will be reminding the men as we get closer to completing the project at the Church that we will need everyone’s help again at the end of the renovations putting the sound equipment and the furniture back into place and by the way we all worked together the first time, it will be a breeze the second time. It will be a tight schedule since the following week afterwards will be elections on 5-21-24, and the Church is a designated voting facility. God will give us favor with the weather and with the project that the contractors will complete renovations ahead of schedule is my prayer. We are overcomers and as the Lord revealed to Zerubbabel that it would not be by might (human strength), nor by power, but by His anointing, the Holy Spirit, and it will be the same in our present situation. Whatever we need to succeed in any endeavor will be supplied to us by God. It’s by His grace that anything that we do is done. God gets the glory for the great things that He have done and His favor is all that we need to complete this project. Amen!

This correspondence is an effort to communicate to all of the men of CCC who have signed up to help us prepare for the renovation of the main sanctuary of the Church. We’re pressing forward beginning the week of Monday, 4-15-24, with removing all of the sound equipment. Anyone willing to help with the removing of the sound equipment please contact bro. Johnny Asbell or Elder James Fuller. We will also move as much of the pews and furniture as possible during that week as well. If you’re interested in helping with moving the furniture, please contact Elder Glennie Jackson or Pastor Jeffery A. Muchison. Finally, the big moving day is planned for that Saturday, 4-20-21, for moving everything that we were not able to move during the week. I’m going to say we’ll meet at the Church at 9 a.m. until. The Church will have breakfast and lunch for those who help us with this project. Afterward, the contractors and Brunswick Floors will need 3-4 weeks to complete renovation of the floors and replacement of carpet in which we’re looking at the week of Monday, 5-13-24, completing the project and the men of CCC returning at the end of that week to move all of the furniture and sound equipment back into the Church’s main sanctuary. We’ll plan to complete the moving of all equipment and furniture on Saturday, 5-18-24. During renovation we will have worship services the Sundays of 4-21-24, 4-28-24, 5-5-24, and 5-12-24, at the Embassy Suites in Brunswick on the 2 ^nd . floor in the Palmetto room services starting at 11 a.m. This will be a tight schedule everyone since elections will be held the next week on Tuesday, 5-21-24, of which our Church is designated as one of the facilities for elections in Camden County. This project is very much needed, and I pray that everyone be patient with us for any inconvenience, but it will only be for 4 weeks and it will end with having necessary repairs completed for our sanctuary and the installation of brand new carpet. To God be the glory.

Father, I pray for this country and its people and the people of all lands. It seems in my lifetime we’ve pushed you away. Forgive us Father, for we know not what we do. How can we not love you back, after hearing every loving fact, how could we not love you back? I pray for the family. It’s in the family where it all starts with learning of you. I thank you for my Christian upbringing. Thank you for family members, loved ones, Christian leaders, as well as others of like faith of whose shoulders I stand upon. Your heart must grieve at the wickedness and evil of the man you created. Man can sink low when disconnected from you. We need you O God first of all to turn it around in our own personal lives, that we, the Church, would be that beacon of hope in a dark world. I pray that our lights would shine that men would see our good works and glorify our Father which is in Heaven. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, in earth as it is in Heaven. Your Word says in 2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV): ¹⁴ If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Let us not be as Ezekiel 22:30 (KJV): ³⁰ And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none. But even now you have many that have not bowed the knee to Baal, praise be to God! Guide our leaders O God. Give them a heart for your people, give them wisdom and strength to do what is your will for those they lead. Forgive us Lord, where we’ve come short. Strengthen us where we’re weak and keep us strong where we’re strong. I pray for men, women, and children caught in war for their protection, their needs supplied, and that the evil of war ceases. We stand in the gap for our land.

A blessed resurrection Sunday I pray for all CCC Partners and friends as we celebrate one of the greatest events this side of glory, the resurrection of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. The resurrection sealed the promises of God to men since the gospel rises or falls on the resurrection, 1 Corinthians 15:12-19 (KJV): ¹² Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? ¹³ But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: ¹⁴ And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. ¹⁵ Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. ¹⁶ For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: ¹⁷ And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. ¹⁸ Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. ¹⁹ If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. The resurrection is the proof that God is who He says He is and that He will do what He said He would and for the Believer that brings us to the conclusion in Mark 11:22-24 (KJV): ²² And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. ²³ For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. ²⁴ Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. Have faith in God. This is the hope of the resurrection, that we can trust Him at His Word and not stagger at the promises of God through unbelief; but be strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he promises, he is able also to perform.

Well glory to God for all that He have done. I’m excited about the work that’s going on in the Church presently. The men’s bathroom has been completed and the women’s bathroom prayerfully will be completed next week. Then we have contractors looking at beginning work on the main sanctuary in a couple of weeks. I think the ladies will be pleasantly surprised concerning the work done in their bathroom since not only were the floors done, but there was some remodeling done on the stalls as well to give a more personal touch. The work was necessary to ensure the integrity of the flooring and we needed new carpeting anyway, so we are able to rectify multiple issues in the sanctuary. We are going to need the help of the men of the ministry as we will need to remove pews, pulpit, furniture in the choir stand, drums, P. A. system w/cords, in order that contractors and Brunswick Floors are able to access the sanctuary and complete the work at hand. Therefore, we’re giving a heads-up and asking every man to plan to help us get this very much needed work done. We will provide food and refreshments for the men that will help out with this task. Our heart is to provide the Partners of CCC with a pleasant atmosphere by which we all may experience the presence and glory of the Lord in our worship services as did the priests during the time of the dedication of Solomon’s Temple. 2 Chronicles 7:2 (KJV): ² And the priests could not enter into the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled the LORD'S house. To God be the glory for the things He have done. Let’s continue believing God in this season for greater. We’re going higher in the kingdom all to the glory of God.

We are overcomers. God have given His Church the victory through our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. The blood of Jesus has given the called-out-ones, the ekklesia, the Church, the set-apart ones, the victory through faith. None of this would be possible without the shedding of blood. The shedding of Christ’s blood is indicative of Him giving His life that we may live. The life that Christ imparts to us is Zoe life, the life that comes from God. He gives us life and He want us to live. And not just life, but the above, the over, the super-added, and the advantageous life. The life of an overcomer is not a trouble-free life, but it is a life that overcomes all obstacles and every Euroclydon storm that it faces. In everything we are more than conquerors through Christ who strengthens us. The Holy Spirit’s power enables us with might, strength, and ability to carry on the works of Jesus and greater works than these shall we do. The greatest example of an overcomer was our Savior. He overcame Satan, death, hell, and the grave, and He rose again with all power in His hands. Yet the greatest conqueror is he who conquers himself. Proverbs 16:32 (KJV): ³² He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city. Jesus ruled His flesh. When the devil tempted Him after 40 days and 40 nights of fasting, and Jesus was now hungry, and He said in Matthew 4:4 (KJV): ⁴ But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. When Satan tempted the Lord by showing Him all the kingdoms of this world and saying, “If thou wilt fall down and worship me, all these things will I give thee.” Matthew 4:10 (KJV) : ¹⁰ Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. We too are overcomers.

As I end my series on “Thine is the Kingdom,” but not the message, I want to echo the Words of Christ, Matthew 6:10 (KJV): 10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. The Lord was teaching the disciples to pray. I personally do not believe that He was teaching it to be repeated verbatim, but a model prayer teaching, not only the disciples, but us today, that we should pray for the kingdom of God to be established in the earth and that His will be done in earth as it is in Heaven. Just how do we think that His will is being done in Heaven? It’s His determination, His pleasure, His desire, His choice, and His will being done in the earth, and we should not accept anything that we know is not the good pleasure of God. At this point is where I want to be surgical about my communication because I know what I mean but I want to be sure that you understand what I mean. I’m not saying that death, sickness, poverty, lack, and all that separates us from God’s best for our lives are not real and that saints don’t suffer from these, but what I am saying is that anything that separates us from God’s best for our lives is not His will. This is what death is. It’s not just the separation of the spirit from the body, but it is separation from God’s best for our lives, period! Death is not God’s will, neither is poverty, sickness, or lack, and in His kingdom all of these will eventually be done away with, Revelation 21:4 (KJV): 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. Revelation 22:3 (KJV): 3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him. In order that we maximize our potential in the earth spirit, soul, and body, we seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness.

The kingdom mindset is a mind that’s stayed on the constitution of the kingdom (the Bible), and its revelation of the plans and purposes of God for man. It’s a mind that’s stayed on God, His Word, and what His Word commands us to do. The Holy Spirit is the kingdom’s Agent in carrying out God’s plans in the heart of them that believe. The revelation of the kingdom of God is so profound that can only be discerned by the help of the Holy Spirit but is the greatest heart awareness experience that any person can have in this life. Having revealed to your spirit the answer to all things in this life and why everything that’s created was created, as far as I am concerned, is the greatest privilege that any human being can have. God, the Holy Spirit, angels, Heaven, the spiritual realm, are all real, but so is Satan, demons, hell, good and evil, and the only source of truth concerning the issues of life is the kingdom of Heaven. Those of us who are citizens of the kingdom are highly favored, blessed, and privileged to be exposed to the understanding of the mysteries of life and have the opportunity to partake of the divine nature and be called the children of God, a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, to show forth the praises of Him who have called us out of darkness (ignorance) into His marvelous light. If we are to believe the constitution of the kingdom (the Bible) then we also understand that the enemy knows that his time is short and that in these last days Satan, that old serpent the devil, Lucifer, and diablos, the accuser of the brethren, is unleashing everything at his disposal against this generation that the kingdom reveals because men will not receive the truth but will receive a lie, many will be as our constitution (the Bible) reveals in Article 2 Thess. section 2, sub-section, 10: 2 Thessalonians 2:10 (KJV): ¹⁰ And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

Luke 2:49 (KJV): ⁴⁹ And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business? I sympathize with Joseph and Mary for their concern about the young Jesus. It’s what any good parent would do, but even at the age of 12, Jesus was focused on the business of the kingdom. The pandemic had an unwelcomed effect on the Church as well as businesses, governments, schools, etc. Now we’re passed the worst of it, though Covid has become another virus that we’re forced to reckon with. CCC has been blessed to have come through that ordeal and learned from it and now it’s time that we, and the rest of the world, be as the young Jesus was and be about our Father’s business, the business of establishing His kingdom in the earth. Daniel 2:44 (KJV): ⁴⁴ And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. Revelation 11:15 (KJV): ¹⁵ And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. We’re closer than we’ve ever been to these events, yet even many Christians live like the Bible’s not true and we’re going to continue on in this life just like what we are doing. Actually, that’s one of the signs of the end times. Luke 17:26-29 (KJV): ²⁶ And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. ²⁷ They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. ²⁸ Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; ²⁹ But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

Remaining strong during challenging times can be a challenge within itself. It’s not always that a person is weak, but when you’re in constant spiritual warfare and even finding yourself around very negative people who constantly spew doubt and unbelief out of their mouths then it will affect you. Regardless of how long you’ve been saved, or what your title is, or how far up the ladder you’ve climbed, you’re still in a body made out of flesh and blood. It’s a blessing when you have good support around you who will be there for you through thick and thin. The most important relationship though is your personal relationship with the Lord. If no one else will be faithful to you then just be encouraged that God will never leave you nor forsake you but will be with you until the end of the world. We pray and believe God and then we boost our faith with praise, affirmation, and confession of the promises of God concerning our personal situation. Then sometimes we need to be honest with ourselves because God already knows what we need, and confess to the Lord that we’re being challenged in our faith and that we need His help and of course we have His Spirit within who will be a present help in the time of need. Just be honest with God as we all should and don’t think that you’re alone in this. I know I personally confess to God whenever I find myself in tense spiritual warfare and being overwhelmed with emotions, and your mind being inundated with the wrong kind of thoughts, and He always come through for me. I may have to get to myself and not be around anyone, especially those who don’t understand the nature of spiritual warfare and that it requires prayer and reigning in that mind to the glory of God and the soldier that thinks that they’re exempt from this kind of experience is not being honest. That’s my personal opinion.

Philippians 3:13-14 (KJV): ¹³ Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, ¹⁴ I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling (upward call) of God in Christ Jesus. The upward call from Heaven is calling us to come up higher in the kingdom. A higher call of faith. An upward call of prayer. A higher call to worship, spiritual warfare, love, holiness, confession, praise, commitment, faithfulness, witness, power, His character and, in general, a closer walk with Him. Every child of the King should sense an urgency in the realm of the spiritual, and in particular, the spiritual kingdom of God, where the King has dominion. He’s King of kings and Lord of lords. He’s calling His redeemed, the Church, the ekklesia, the called out ones, kings and lords. It’s about time for the Church to act like kings and lords. Jesus called us that. I’m just repeating what the Lord said. Revelation 19:16 (KJV): ¹⁶ And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. Hallelujah king! Hallelujah lord! Receive it! Let that marinade in your spirit. We as Believers have listened too much to what the accuser of the brethren is calling us when we must get off the frequency that the devil is on and get on, and stay on, the frequency that God is on. Don’t be caught on AM when God is on FM. The upward call from Heaven calls to us, the body of Christ, to be about our Father’s business as Christ was when He walked this earth. No more shucking and jiving and lollygagging. It’s our time now, the age of the Church and the Spirit to be in this great move of God in transforming our world into the kingdom of our God. Revelation 11:15 (KJV): ¹⁵ And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

Today is the first Sunday of a new chapter in all of our lives and as CCC continues it’s 21 Day Consecration may the Lord open up to you the plans and purposes of God future for your life. The Apostle Paul said in Philip. 3:13, 14 (KJV): ¹³ Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, ¹⁴ I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. In this life we will face test, trials, tragedies, disappointments, etc., and we ought to have our priorities right as did the Apostle Paul, and make God first in our lives so that when those times come, we will not be destroyed. It may hurt us, but it will not destroy us. This month of January we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and in February we celebrate black history month and great sacrifices were made that black people, and many whites as well, benefited from. It’s a time of reflection as well as personal soul searching to examine our own personal contribution for the cause of all men to enjoy the freedoms endowed by our Creator. The greatest of these being the freedom to worship God as we see fit. The Church has been front and center of the Civil Rights movement and continues to be so today. Keeping God first has been the key to what successes we have seen over the years. Keeping Him first in our personal lives is key to our own personal successes as well. We cannot forget where our help comes from. Our help comes from the Lord who made Heaven and Earth. Prayer, prayer, and more prayer as we give the first-fruits of our time during our 21 Day Consecration and as we obey scripture to acknowledge God in all of our ways and He will direct our paths. 2024 will be a year of going higher in the kingdom all to the glory of God. I’m believing God for a year of fruitfulness in the ministry as well as in our personal lives for needs as well as relationships as well. Also, that God would heal our land, our people, and our planet, that all men would come to the saving knowledge of the truth. To God be the glory!

David, the Psalmist, has always been a powerful influencer and Ps. 23 has been one of the most consoling Psalms in the Bible. That Psalm has brought many a Christian through some challenging times. It has brought us through storms, floods, rains, winds, and tumultuous times that all point to how David structured Ps. 23. The Lord, He maketh, He leadeth, Thou rod and Thy staff, Thou preparest a table, Thou anointest my head with oil , all point to the source of our strength and if Believers today are to experience the glory of God in their lives, then we too must acknowledge Him in all our ways. David acknowledged that it was God who was his shepherd, God that makes him to lie down in green pastures, God leads him beside the still waters, God’s rod and staff comforts him, God prepares a table before him in the presence of his enemies, God anoints his head with oil, therefore David gives God all of the praise, glory, and honor. When we understand that Psalm 23 was wrote under the Mosaic Law and that we’re under a better covenant with better promises then we can understand that honor that we have to be in expectancy of an even greater glory under this new and better covenant, Hebrews 8:6 (KJV): ⁶ But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. Understanding that Jesus is our Shepherd and His Holy Spirit lives in us to guide us and lead us then we begin a journey of experiencing an even deeper walk and revelation of God. That we are clothe in the righteousness of God and have access to His grace, His favor on our lives, we too would lift up our hands, and open up our mouths, and tell God, “Thank you!” We too can have whatever God says we can have. Go wherever God says we can go. Do whatever God says we can do, and be whoever God says we can be, all to the glory of God. Hallelujah! The spirit of David is still among us in every Believer who will walk by faith and not by sight. It’s our covenant right. Amen!

God gave His Church the promise of the Holy Spirit because the Father knew that we would need power from on high to live this life for His glory. Without the Holy Spirit we are powerless to Satan, sin, and our flesh, or the human nature and even with the Holy Spirit we struggle in our flesh because we don’t give the Holy Spirit free course in our lives as revealed to us in the Word of God. If we understood the power of God living on the inside of us, we would live life from a totally different perspective because we would have the confidence in the power residing in us to not fear anything in this life because God is with us. Is not that what gave David confidence in the Psalm when he said, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me,” Psalm 23:4 (KJV). Knowing that God was with him was all the confidence that David needed to be able to face even death, why? Because David believed in His God and His Word. Remember what he said when facing Goliath. 1 Samuel 17:45 (KJV): ⁴⁵ Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. This David did without the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit of which we have. The Church today lives beneath its privilege and power when it comes to the power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit was there in the creation of all things , Gen. 1:2; Job 26:13; Ps. 104:30; He’s God the Holy Spirit, Acts 5:3, 4; 1 Cor. 3:16, 17; 6:19, 20; The Spirit imparts life, Rom. 8:2; The Holy Spirit redeems, Jn. 3:3-5; Titus 3:5-7; Resurrects, Rom. 8:9-11; Inspires scripture, 2 Tim. 3:15-17; 2 Pet. 1:21; Distributes gifts, 1 Cor. 12:4-11; The Holy Spirit is the overseer over the Churches, Acts 13:1-4; He brings things to our remembrance and teaches and guides into all truth, Jn. 14:16, 17, 26; 15:26; 16:7-15; He guides through daily problems , Rom. 8:14-16; He washes from sin, sanctifies, justifies , 1 Cor. 6:11; The Holy Spirit searches the deep things of God, 1 Cor. 2:10-12; He endues with power , Acts 1:8; He convicts of sin, Jn. 16:7-11; The Holy Spirit imparts love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and self-control to believers, Gal. 5:22, 23; He seals men to divine ownership , Eph. 1:13; 4:30; This is who lives inside of every Believer. He’s the power of God in the earth.

The principle of authority is so misunderstood in this generation for several reasons, one being people look at authority as one person having the right to rule over another person or persons. Another reason why authority is so misunderstood is because of the abuse of it by those in authority. Neither reason is an excuse to disregard the teachings of the Bible on authority as it was originated out of the mind of God. First of all, all authority come from God, John 19:11 (KJV): ¹¹ Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power (Greek word exousia, meaning authority) at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin. The centurion in Lk. 7:1-9 understood that Jesus had power and authority over sickness and said, “… but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.” The statement by the centurion was so insightful on the power of authority that Jesus acknowledged it, Luke 7:9 (KJV): ⁹ When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. The centurion believed that the Lord had the power to heal his servant and because he understood the principle of authority he believed that all Jesus had to do was speak the word and his servant would be healed. Luke 7:10 (KJV): ¹⁰ And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick. Jesus was given all authority in Heaven and in earth. He also delegated authority to the Church, Matthew 16:18-19 (KJV): ¹⁸ And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. ¹⁹ And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. We too, when we understand that Jesus has the power and the authority to do what He said He would, will receive the promises of God manifested in our lives. Amen!

I’m always awed at the creativity of movies today, their storylines and how there’s always a hero and a villain that pulls you into the narrative. We all like heroes because we want to believe that evil will not prevail always and that there’s that persona that will show up just in the nick of time to save the day. In the real world though, it’s much more complicated, especially for the many who have been wronged in this life, abused, mistreated, murdered, and worse. For so many on this earth today, life has not been so good to them because iniquity abounds, the love of many has waxed cold, and cold is being polite. There’s not a lot of hope in people who have been wronged like that, so men commit suicide, give up in life, lose their vision, as many who have no hope do. But in real life there are real life heroes, or to be more precise, saviors because our God is a real-life God with real life answers for real life problems. He brings hope to the hopeless, help for the helpless, strength for the weak, and salvation to the lost. Regardless of how horrific the life experiences that may have been thrown our way; with God all things are possible to them that believe. These type situations are difficult to imagine by those of us who are blessed to have all our needs met, but for those who find themselves in places that they did not ask for, it’s a nightmare, but there is hope today, and that hope is found in the pages of a book that’s still the world’s best seller, the Bible. In it’s pages are life, hope, and the message of love from Heaven, that there is a God in glory who took upon Himself the form of a man and was tempted in every point such as we were, therefore He knows what we go through, what we feel, and what we experience and took upon Himself our infirmities and bore our sicknesses and diseases that we wouldn’t have to and by His stripes we are healed. He offers man life.

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men, Lk. 2:14 (KJV). Lord, if there was a generation that needs peace, it’s the present. We need the peace that passes all understanding. That peace comes from Heaven. As we embark upon another Christmas season the thoughts in my head finds solace in these words from the angel and the multitude of heavenly hosts praising God and saying the verse of scripture in Lk. 2:14. They were heralding the birth of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. The truth of God’s salvation plan for man has all but fallen on deaf ears, ears that are desperately needing the message of peace. Jesus offers His peace, John 14:27 (KJV): ²⁷ Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. The word peace here in Jn. 14:27 means (to join); peace (literal or figurative); by implication prosperity :- one, peace, quietness, rest, + set at one again. Obviously, the word peace has several meanings like many English words. In another scripture Jesus says He didn’t come to bring peace but a sword, Matthew 10:34-36 (KJV): ³⁴ Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. ³⁵ For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. ³⁶ And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. They’re not scriptures of contradiction but Jesus places peace with God as priority over peace with those closest to us therefore the sword is the abrasiveness between those who accept Christ and those that do not. His peace be with you. Shalom.

Why do we see so much negativism and bad things happening to good people? Why does God allow these things to happen and why don’t He step in and stop the evil that we see in our generation? If we were more aware of what’s going on around us we would begin to see why. Many people questioning the things of God. The love of many waxing cold. Do you notice that good people are either quitting in public service, or they’re choosing not to serve because to them it’s not worth it. Less & less are the people we need to be involved in public service are getting involved because of the fight to just do the right thing. The way things are trending, the best people are not wanting any part of key positions in our communities, city governments, state governments, or the U. S. government, even in our religious institutions. Spiritual leaders, good spiritual leaders, are more difficult to find. Leadership means a whole different thing now in this generation. It use to mean you lead by your convictions, but more and more it’s turning into pleasing the status-quo in order to keep your job. It’s a babysitting job, Habakkuk 1:1-4 (KJV): ¹ The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see. ² O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save!
³ Why dost thou shew me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention. ⁴ Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth. I pray that good people whom are needed in government, good leaders in business, in our houses of worship, our institutions of higher learning, in local government, etc., do not lose that servants heart.

The Holy Spirit is the Church’s secret weapon in this spiritual warfare that we find ourselves in. The ministry of the Holy Spirit is needed as much now as it was under the Old Testament, on the day of Pentecost, and during the early days of the Church when God empowered His Church for the work of the ministry and the edifying of itself. To do the work of ministry, and in particular, the will of God for the body of Christ, we need the Spirit of God and His anointing. We cannot do ministry apart from the Spirit of God. Even Christ means “The Anointed One,” and therefore revealing that our Lord was anointed with the anointing of the Holy Spirit. The word anointing in 1 Jn. 2:20, 27 means an unguent or smearing, i.e. (figurative) the special endowment (“chrism”) of the Holy Spirit :- anointing, unction. In Acts 4:13 the Bible declares that the rulers, elders, and scribes had noted that the apostles were ignorant and unlearned men but also that they had been with Jesus. When you spend time with God, in His Presence, communing with God, in fellowship with Him, and enjoying a personal relationship with Him, His anointing will rub off on you. 2 Corinthians 1:21 (KJV): ²¹ Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God. God have anointed His people for the work of the ministry, and He will never fail us nor forsake us, but the Holy Spirit’s anointing is for the work of the ministry, and for building up the individual Believer, not for selfish self-centered desires. The Holy Spirit anointing is for the plans and purposes of God, and even though the gifts and calling of God is without repentance, the anointing is as the Spirit wills and as Michael Chitwood use to say, “And God ain’t gonna bless no mess!” We need God’s anointing, for without the anointing we cannot do what God have called us to do, but with God all things are possible to them that believe.

As much as it may not seem like it there are still good people around and as much as we like to put the attention on the negative personalities we encounter, maybe we should appreciate the people we encounter who are Christian and treat you with respect, compassion, thoughtfulness, and are considerate about your personal concerns. I don’t think that it’s a stretch for me to say that most Christians are more reserved, low keyed, and not loud and obnoxious people. I don’t know how others may feel about it but when I do come across a waitress who goes over and above the call of duty, or a mechanic who shows that they have my best interest at heart, or a cashier who is polite, courteous, and professional, I go out of my way to tip them, let them know I appreciate their professionalism, and it is just so awesome to be treated like you’re the customer and you’re appreciated instead of being treated like you stole something. I’m going to say this and I know it may sound a bit over the top, but it feels so good now when I do encounter a nice representative over the phone, or when I ask a question of my Dr.’s nurse and they take the time to make sure that my question is answered fully, or the Human Resource representative shows that they’re genuinely concerned about my case. I’ll be honest with you, it’s so rare now that when that happens, I say to myself, “Look at God.” I mean, it’s like God made sure that the right representative connected with me instead of someone who acts like they don’t want to be there. I used to think, “Am I being overly sensitive about this?” Then I thought to myself, “No, this is just the times that we’re living in, and it seems that people are more selfish and self-centered and think only about themselves.” I genuinely thank God when I get that person who’s serving me, and they just have a beautiful personality.

The spirit of many confessing Christians today seems disconnected from the truth of scripture. The message today will close out our series titled, “Through The Father’s Eyes,” and in this message we endeavor to reveal what the heart of the child of God ought to be if we are to believe God’s Word as opposed to the tradition of men. The tradition of men has watered down the gospel message to the Christians experience with God being no more than a series of Church meetings and not the real-life experience with God that the Bible teaches. An experience that transcends every fiber of being for the born again, faith walking, spirit-filled Believer today. I mean it’s obvious to see that the mindset of many confessing Christians today is that Christianity is just to go to Church every now and then and on Easter but don’t ask me to sacrifice any of my personal time, money, gifts, or talents for the cause of Christ, the kingdom, or anything else. They don’t want to hear anything about faithfulness, commitment, serving, or such like when the Bible teaches just that, that God requires no less than our total commitment to Him, Romans 12:1 (KJV): ¹ I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service, and that’s spirit, soul, and body , 1 Thessalonians 5:23 (KJV): ²³ And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. More and more Christians today are following the mistake of the Pharisees, and that is they are making the Word of God of no effect because of the tradition of men. They make for a false pretense that the man-manufactured rules of men supersede the will of God. It was a great mistake during Bible times and one of the gravest mistakes of Christians today.

We lose our true identity when we exclude God out of the equations of our lives. Apart from Him we are nothing, but with God, all things are possible to them that believe. The Father sees His people in Christ, in power and authority, and in the victory that Christ achieved during His earthly pilgrimage, victory over death, hell, and the grave. For Christians it translates to our minds being renewed to the mind of Christ. What was the mind of Christ? The mind of Christ was to do the will of the Father, John 5:30 (KJV): ³⁰ I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me. Jesus also said that this should be the mind of the people of God, Matthew 12:50 (KJV): ⁵⁰ For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother. The heart of the people of God, first and foremost, should be to do the will of the Father as well. This is the will of God. Man was put on this planet to please Him, Revelation 4:11 (KJV): ¹¹ Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. The safest place in this whole wide world is in the will of God. I know sometimes it doesn’t seem like it, but we don’t walk by what it seems like, we walk by faith. Sometimes we don’t feel like it’s the safest place in the world, but we don’t walk by how we feel, but by the Word of God. Sometimes it does not look like it’s the safest place in the world, but we don’t walk by how things look, but we walk by faith and not by sight, or our senses, emotions, feelings, by how things look, smell, taste, or sound. This is the will of God for you and I.

Challenges, tests, and trials can begin to weigh us down if we don’t keep our minds and focus on remembering that the just shall live by their faith and not by sight. Sure, we all have our tests but if we take each test with the right attitude, character, and faith, we will find ourselves landing on the side of victory every time. This is a part of life’s journey. The Lord declares in His Word that He makes the sun rise on the evil and the good and sends His rain on the just and the unjust. Life is a series of events that don’t necessarily determine our destiny, but how we handle them determines our destiny. We are the masters of our own soul and every decision will contribute to the successful conclusion or the missing of that destiny. Certainly, everyone goes through a myriad of events throughout the course of a lifetime, so don’t think that you are the only one who have been betrayed, double-crossed, lied on, talked about, ambushed, deceived, hoodwinked, misunderstood, lied to, attacked in your body, attacked in your finances, rejected, overlooked, disrespected, and whatever else you may have had go against the plans and purposes of God in your life. Trust me when I say, you’re not the only one, but then we also must do this as well, see all of the good that have gone on in your life as well. If we focus on only the negative then of course you have every right to be concerned, but let’s be honest, look at the good that have happened in your life. We sometimes judge our success or failure by the world’s standards when the world’s standards are not the standards of the kingdom. It’s the things eternal that matter most above all else. When we see things from the kingdom’s perspective we begin to see that the rich can sometimes be the poorest, that the poor can sometimes be the richest, that the greatest is servant of all, and the humblest is the most elevated in the kingdom of God. Stop judging yourself by the world’s standards, but see yourself as your God sees you. Psalm 139:14 (KJV): ¹⁴ I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

I want to take a moment to update Partners on my current situation. I’ve already thanked everyone at the Church for your prayers, cards, calls, and however you reached out to First Lady and myself. Presently I’m taking it easy pretty much at home allowing my body time to build strength at the instructions of my medical team. I will not be in worship service today but will be in the Bible study on tomorrow because I’m more relaxed in the Bible study and will be back in the worship service on next Sunday. Let me say, as I always have, that I give my God all of the praise, honor, & glory for watching over me during this season in my life. In new series on Sunday titled “Through The Father’s Eyes,” and my new series in the Bible study titled “Yes Faith,” both sum up how I approach the challenges in my life and that’s by viewing it through the Father’s eyes. The Bible says that in all of our ways to acknowledge Him and He will direct our paths. Because I’ve grown up in the Church living by faith is all I know. I don’t know what else to tell people when it comes to how to navigate this road called life. Faith is the key to it all. Trusting God through the good times, the bad times, and all of the times between is the only way to go in this life. It’s beyond me how people can go through this life not knowing the Lord in the pardon of their sins and risk spending eternity separated from God. I can’t imagine it. My mind can’t even wrap around that because eternity is more than just a long time, it’s eternity. There’s just no way. The Bible declares in Romans 5:1 that those of us who are justified by faith have peace with God. Partners, the only thing that I can tell y’all is that if there’s One you want to have with you when you’re going through a trial, test, storm or whatever, that One is God. Stay with God. I don’t care how bad it may get, stay with the God of our salvation, our Rock, and the Horn of our salvation. I’m just thankful.

As of the writing of this Pastor’s Pen I am expecting to be discharged from Southeast Ga. Health Sys. on Sunday afternoon after a whirlwind week of decision making that finally concluded with a successful regiment of treatment for what was a perfect storm that had the Dr.’s scratching their heads for how to diagnose what was happening in my body without getting too graphic. I personally have never been through anything like this in my body. I want the Partners to know something though, and that is that God was in the midst all the way. I appreciate all the prayers that were lifted up on my behalf from all of the saints. God gives us His Word which assures every Believer that God’s health program is solid and part of the New Covenant under which we are partakers, The Amplified Bible, Isa 53:4 through Isa 53:5: ^{Isa 53:4} Surely He has borne our griefs (sicknesses, weaknesses, and distresses) and carried our sorrows and pains [of punishment], yet we [ignorantly] considered Him stricken, smitten, and afflicted by God [as if with leprosy]. [Matt. 8:17] ^{Isa 53:5} But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities; the chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes [that wounded] Him we are healed and made whole. Our Heavenly Father wants His people to be blessed in their spirit, soul, & body, to prosper and be in health even as our souls prosper. This Jesus demonstrated when He walked this earth as revealed in the scripture quoted in Matt. 8:16, 17 (Amplified Bible), which was quoted from Isaiah 53:4 , 5. The Amplified Bible, Mt 8:16 through Mt 8:17: ^{Mt 8:16} When evening came, they brought to Him many who were ⁷ under the power of demons, and He drove out the spirits with a word and restored to health all who were sick. ^{Mt 8:17} And thus He fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah, He Himself took [ ⁸ in order to carry away] our weaknesses and infirmities and bore ⁹ away our diseases. [Isa. 53:4] . This faith journey is not without it’s challenges, but it’s so much better to know that God is with you. Amen!

First of all, thank you Partners for the phone calls, cards, texts, and for just taking the time to reach out to First Lady and myself during my stay in Southeast Ga. Health System week before last. Your prayers, kindness, and love were and are very much appreciated and, as I always say, First Lady and I don’t take for granted the time taken out to show us love. From our hearts to yours, we appreciate it. The week before last was my test and with the help of the Lord we passed our test with flying colors, but it also is an opportunity for me to encourage each Partner of this ministry to be diligent concerning your total person, spirit, soul, and body. Take good care of your total person. One of the things that helped me through that ordeal was having regular check-ups and Dr.’s visits so that they used previous information to help diagnose the attack against my body and I was released from the hospital sooner because of it. Take care of you because I don’t care how spiritual we are, we’re still in bodies made out of flesh and blood. Keep your appointments with your Dr. I know there are challenges with our health system, but I also know of some horror stories that didn’t have to be horror stories. We’ve got the victory through our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ, but we have to do our part. Know this one thing, God is faithful. His Word is everlasting and we can stand on His Word, Matthew 5:18 (KJV): ¹⁸ For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. The plans and purposes of God will be realized in our lives, to them that believe, that love God, Romans 8:28 (KJV): ²⁸ And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Be encouraged today. Let the Holy Spirit lead you to life, the life that He desires for you by heeding to His Word and keeping His commandments.

Well praise God from whom all blessings flow. His mercy endures to all generations, and that includes our generation. God is the awesome God and He’s worthy to be praise. Amen! Know ye that the Lord He is God and besides Him there is no other. Truly He is the awesome God. When I think about the goodness of Jesus and all He’s done for me, my soul cries out hallelujah, thank God for saving me. All the day long, I want to give Him praise because He is the God of my salvation. These are the days where our devotion to God must be pure, spiritual, and with everything that is within us because that is what God seeks for His people, John 4:21-26 (KJV) 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. 25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. 26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he. That’s my desire and heart today, that my worship be pure worship unto a loving Father who gave us the apex of His love, my Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. Every day with Him is sweeter than the day before. I’ll make my boast in the Lord for He is worthy to be praised. He’s our salvation, our hope, Strengthener, strong tower, Comforter, Intercessor, Mighty God, Rock, Advocate, and our God. David said: Psalm 18:1-3 (KJV) 1 I will love thee, O LORD, my strength. 2 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. 3 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

Taking care of your spirit, soul, & body, is one of the most important things you can do to maximize your potential on the earth. I specifically want to talk about the body though, since there are different viewpoints on what it means to walk by faith in terms of being prosperous and healthy, even as our souls prosper. I witnessed just in recent months a person who decided that they would believe God to be healed of a disease without having any doctors, or any medical treatment from any hospital facility to help them get the victory over that sickness. They fought a good fight, yet they later succumbed to the disease. Of course, there’s no guarantee that the treatment would have made a difference and I will never tell anyone not to follow the voice of God if they believed God specifically revealed to them not to go to a doctor because He would heal them apart from medical attention, but I would encourage them that they had better make sure it’s God. When God says He’ll supply all our needs and He’ll heal our bodies and work all things together for our good that doesn’t mean it’s time to go on vacation and not work, plan, and do our part in the natural to see these things come to pass. Yes, God says He’ll supply all of our needs, but we use the strength, the mind, and the wisdom that He gives us to do it. God says He’ll heal our bodies and be our Protector, but that don’t mean don’t have regular check-ups with your General Practitioner, or don’t purchase life, health, home, or auto insurance. You’re not trusting in those things, no! Your trust is in the Lord. These things are just the conduits by which God gets the blessings to us. There’s our part that we have as it relates to faith that we are responsible for. God has already done His part, but we must do ours.

The power of God works on our behalf as it has down through the centuries to them that love Him and to them who are the called according to His purpose. God has always been there for His people during the winters of their faith journey. In the good years He has always warned us not to be complacent. The enemy walks about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour, but to no avail to them that walk by faith and not by sight. We are commanded to put on the whole armor of God, armor for the spirit of man, to protect from the devices of the evil one, that old serpent the devil, a defeated foe at that, since Jesus destroyed the works of the devil and made a shew of them openly. Who can stand against the Lord? Who can fight against our God? No one can stand against the Lord, and no one can fight against our God and be victorious. He that spoke the worlds into existence, that spun the stars to their set places, who said, “Let there be light,” and light became, who said, “Let us make man in our image and after our likeness,” and the Lord formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul. That man who learns to love his Creator will abide in the shadow of the Almighty and the Lord shall be his refuge and his fortress, his God, and in Him will he trust. God fights for His people now as He did then and have given us the victory through His Son Jesus Christ. Our victory is sure through our Redeemer, 1 Corinthians

15:57 (KJV): 57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. What do we have victory over? We have the victory over everything that separates us from God’s best for our lives. Romans summed it up best, Romans 8:38-39 (KJV): 38 For I am

persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

As our country celebrates Independence Day, I can think of much we can be thankful for. This country has been tremendously blessed by God. There’s also need for much prayer for the state of affairs that this country finds itself in. I’m not being ungrateful. I’m seeing God more and more pushed out of our government, our schools, and our homes. This is the greatest country on the earth. What concerns me is that morally we’re not advancing as we are technologically. Of course, prophecy have already foretold these things, but the people of God have God on their side and with God all things are possible, even in these times. It’s a time to be thankful for sure. I’m thankful for the blessings of God on my life and the lives of my family. He’s brought us through every storm without fail. Some I created on my own but still, He brought me through. For that I’m thankful. He supplied all my needs and the needs of my loved ones. Truly I’m grateful. I’m thankful for Independence Day spiritually when the Lord found me and saved me and delivered me from the hands of the enemy. That was made

available to us all because of the Judaeo Christian heritage that this country was built on. There are good people in this country who have good hearts and have goodwill towards all men. Bad people take away from the good that good people do, which is why the good people must never give in to the bad things that go on around them. The bad people are not quitting. Why should we give in to the evil in this world when we have the truth of God’s Word? We have the kingdom backing us up. We have angels on our side. We have God on our side, and we have the prayers of the saints. Lord, I thank you.

Isaiah 55:8-11 (KJV): 8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. 10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: 11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. Whenever I find myself not understanding certain details about current events this is one of the scriptures that I stand on. You too may have experienced moments like these as well. We all have been there because, unlike the Lord, we are limited in our abilities. God is not. Here’s where our faith in God compensates for what we lack in the sense realm, but it’s also our greatest challenge. It’s a challenge to be strong enough in your faith to be governed more by what God says than by what your senses relay to you. Here lies the fight between the spirit and the flesh. The victory to walking by faith is to be anchored in the Lord. The word anchored, according to Webster’s New World Dictionary, means: 1. A heavy object, usually an iron weight with flutes, lowered from a vessel, as by cable, to prevent drifting. 2. Anything that gives security by remaining fixed in place or unchanging. That’s how I would describe faith, not drifting, but remaining fixed and unchanging in our trust in the Lord and His Word. To remain flat footed and flint faced in the face of the enemy, circumstances, winds, rains, floods, and storms, standing on the Word of

God. When we’re weak in human strength, then are we strong in divine strength. Even the Lord, when facing the cross, in the Garden of Gethsemane, sweated as if it were drops of blood falling down to the ground, Lk. 22:44. Jesus fulfilled His mission though, giving the example that we too can fulfill ours as well if we remain anchored in the Lord.

The Lord wants the people of God to know that He is in control and that His people not make the same mistake that Peter made. When Peter got out of the boat during the storm he did fine until he took his eyes off Jesus and got them on the storm. As long as he kept God his priority and kept his focus on what Jesus had told him, which was to “come” to Him on the water Peter walked on the water. Then Peter made the mistake that many Christians make today. He got into the sense realm, his emotions, his feelings, what the storm looked like, and began to sink. Jesus don’t want us to sink. That’s why He died and rose with all power in His hand. Sometimes victory seems out of our reach. Notice that I said “seems” like victory is out of our reach. That’s why we walk by faith and not by sight. When things seem a certain way and that way is not consistent with the Word of God, the Word is my true north and I’m staying with the Word. Jesus said come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burdens are light. His yoke is easy, and His burdens are light when we learn to trust in Him. That’s what the series was focused on titled, “Not by Might nor by Power,” but the Lord said it would be by His Spirit that the temple would be rebuilt by Zerubbabel, Joshua the priest, and the returned Jewish exiles who God raised up for the work because the people had a mind to work. That mind that God gave them to desire to do the work. It was of God that the people had a mind to work. The sooner we learn to rest in Him, the sooner we experience that His yoke is easy, and His burden is light. Have faith in your faith and just know that in all things and in every situation, God is in control.

I’m not talking about necessarily closing our eyes, kneeling and praying, but time meditating on His Word, quietly conversing with Him whenever an opportunity presents itself, and thinking on the things of God. What priority do we place on our relationship with our Redeemer, our Lord & Savior? Do we pray without ceasing realizing that the fervent effectual prayer of a righteous man avails much, or do we pray at all? Do we practice the Presence of God in our lives, or do we think about Him every once and a while? This generation is ripe for revival and is the most opportune time for the Church of Jesus Christ to let its light shine that men may see our good works and glorify our Father which is in Heaven. It's our time, the age of the Church. Acts 2:14-18 (KJV): 14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words: 15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. 16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; 17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: 18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy. Priority is the things of God in our lives and the plans and purposes of God for our lives which include going into all the world and preaching the gospel. I do believe that though the last days are times of rebellion against God there will be an end time revival where God will have His remnant reserved unto His glory. Hallelujah!

Time is moving and not stopping for anything or anyone. If you’re not careful, you’ll lose track of time and the next thing you know a deadline is upon you or missed altogether. James makes a real sobering revelation concerning time and our humanity as it relates to it. James 4:14 (KJV): 14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. It reveals how fragile life is. James compared it to a vapor that’s here for a little while and then vanishes away. Whatever our visions and dreams are we’d better get busy and get them done because time is not waiting on us. We must make good use of the time that we have in this life. Time is a terrible thing to waste. You can’t get it back. Whenever it’s gone, it’s gone. I have the utmost respect for time, my time, and others. When we don’t respect one another’s time then we’re being inconsiderate. Time is precious and we should not waste it, ours or the next person’s. Ephesians 5:16 (KJV): 16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Evil could mean what James said, that our lives will vanish away, or evil could mean the troubles we face in this life. Regardless, the point being, while the blood runs warm in our bodies, live. Enjoy your journey. Live life with purpose. Be fervent and intentional in your day-to-day activities. Whatever God’s plans and purposes are for your life give it your all giving glory to God for it is because of Him that we live and move and have our being. It’s our time now, the age of the Church and Jesus is soon to come back. Let Him find us occupying when He comes.

I am stirred in my spirit as I reminisce over the theme God gave me for 2023. “It’s Our Time, The Age of the Church.” God is restoring the Tabernacle of David, a place of intimacy, fellowship, communion, worship & praise unto the sovereign God. He is pouring out His Spirit

upon all flesh, people, nations, men, whether black, white, brown, and whatever is in between. It’s a time of restoration. The Spirit of God is the agent of restoration. Zerubbabel and Joshua the priest, were told it’s not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit saith the Lord. That Word was not only for Zerubbabel and Joshua, but for the body of Christ today. The Holy Spirit in us will accomplish all that is in the mind of God. To God be the glory! All the praise, all the glory, and all the honor belong to Him for all the great things that He have done. David said “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me.” If God be with us, the world against us will fail. But with God, all things are possible to them that believe. The Oil of the Holy Spirit is flowing from the Son to His Church that our light may shine, and men would see our good works and glorify our Father which is in Heaven. By grace through faith His glory be revealed through His Church. May His glory fill the earth like His glory filled the Temple that Solomon built at it’s dedication. 2 Chronicles 7:1-3 (KJV): 1 Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the LORD filled the house. 2 And the priests could not enter into the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled the LORD'S house. 3 And when all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the LORD upon the house, they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshipped, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.

Today we will not be having worship services at CCC because we will be celebrating the 35th ministry anniversary with Pastor Leon Washington and the Evergreen Missionary Baptist Church family. God have blessed this man of God along with First Lady Washington to be a voice for the kingdom of God not only for the 35 years in ministry, but Pastor Washington have served in different capacities even before his tenure at Evergreen. God said that He would give Pastors who would feed His people with knowledge and understanding. Pastor Washington and First Lady Washington have been two of those leaders who have done just such in the kingdom. To God be the glory! My prayer for them today is that God continue to smile upon them and their faithfulness in future commitments in ministering to a generation present and future. Our God is a generational God and raises up Apostles, Prophets, Teachers, Evangelists, & Pastors, to

speak, not only to this present generation, but to speak the blessings of God into the next generation as well. I pray that He continues to raise up the five-fold ministry until Jesus comes that will speak the Word of faith in a fashion that they can catch the revelation for themselves. I personally believe that we can preach and teach the Word out of our own understanding of God’s revelation, but until people get the understanding of the revelation for themselves it will not profit them. God continue to saturate this earth with His prophets who will not settle for less than the unadulterated truth of God’s Word but who will also minister the Word in such a way as it will not compromise its integrity but with the wisdom of God to convince the hearers that these things are so. Praise be to God! You and I are blessed to have had faithful gospel workers who turned us on to the things of God and because of them they contributed to our

spiritual growth and maturity. For that we tell God thank you and we thank those who went before us and were faithful to the core with the mission that God placed in their hands and today, because of them, souls have been snatched from the darkness into His marvelous light.

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the mothers during this time of celebrating you. I pray every mother enjoy a glorious day in the Lord with your families. We celebrate you. We honor you today as the gateway of life and the nurturer of men. A mother’s touch has soothed many

hurting hearts and encouraged others. She has been the spark of great leaders and the gamechanger for many destinies. Mothers command the power and influence over many people who see her as a bulwark, strong, intelligent, yet also having a gentile and tender heart full of compassion. We all are blessed to have mothers who love us unconditionally, that instill in us those character traits that set us up for success. Sometimes invoking tough love because they would rather see us angry for a season than to allow us to make serious mistakes that will cost us for years to come. How many in prison today would say that they would not be in the mess that they’re in if they had listened to mama. When I think of our mothers, I see the love of God demonstrated through them. God’s love in action since He gives mothers this instinct to love with a mother’s love that won’t quit. She will be there for her family through thick and thin, good and bad, to weather whatever to ensure that they are well. Just the thought of our mothers has the potential to cause us to change a decision that we were about to make because her influence on us makes us want to do the right thing and not do anything that would disappoint or bring shame. How blessed are we to have mothers who love God and have our best interest at heart. Who only wants to see good in our lives and not evil. Who always has time to listen and show compassion for whatever we may be going through, and to give her advice of love and understanding. Mama can always be dependent upon to be in your corner even when you’re the one who made the mistake, but she will not abandon you but help nurture you back to wholeness. In all of a mother’s love I see God and thank God for giving us

mothers after His own heart. Have a blessed Mother’s Day celebration.

The message that I will be sharing with the people of God today is a message that encouraged my heart to the utmost. Anyone who are or have been in a leadership role whether in the kingdom of God or secular arena, know those feelings of inadequacy that comes over us that can be quite overwhelming at times. I believe that’s normal for most of us. In our text today we find the man Moses coming down off of Mt. Sinai with the 2 nd . set of Ten Commandments but as he’s coming down off of the mount his face glowed so to the point that the people saw a tangible outward appearance on the face of Moses. Moses was coming down off of the 2 nd . 40 days and 40 nights of fasting before God and it showed. Moses was anointed and the glory of God showed on his countenance. God’s anointing on our lives makes all of the difference as it relates to accomplishing His will in the earth. Zerubbabel faced opposition in the rebuilding of

the temple, but God encouraged Zerubbabel that it’s not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit saith the Lord. God let Zerubbabel, and you and I as well, know that it’s not our abilities that He wants, but our availability. The work that God said that He would do will get done

whether we cooperate with God or not. If we don’t want to do His will then He’ll find someone who will. Regardless of how bad our present situations may look but just like God said He would give Zerubbabel the grace to complete his work, He will give us the grace today to finish our course. Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit saith the Lord. God already knows what the ends going to be. That’s why He does what it takes to get our attention and focus on His Word and off of the circumstances in our lives. It may look like the house is on fire and burning down but God is still in control and He will bring to pass the good things that He thinks of us therefore when the enemy is coming at you with everything that he can throw at you then lift up your hands, open up your mouth and give God the glory because evidently it’s promotion time. Hallelujah!

The people of God are victorious because of the finished work of Christ defeating the enemy and empowering His saints against the forces of darkness. Christ was crucified, died and was buried, was made alive, raised from the dead, and seated on the right hand of the Father with all power in His hands, equipping the Church with authority over all of the power of the enemy. We have been empowered over all of the powers of darkness. We’ve got the victory. This is the posture that every Believer should maintain. We have already won as far as God is concerned. We just have to receive it. We won’t realize that victory though, if we, like Peter, get our eyes off of Christ and on our circumstances. We can learn a lot from Peter’s experience. As long as Peter focused on Jesus and what Jesus spoke to him he walked by faith, but as soon as he got his eyes off of Jesus, the Bible says that he began to sink. Christians must stay highly knowledgeable of the Word of God and also keep the resolve to walk in that revelation. It’s like a doctor who wants to remain relevant in his field of study. In order to remain relevant in his area of expertise he must remain open to receive new knowledge or else he’s going to get left behind. Knowledge is increasing on a daily basis along with everything else and in order that doctors remain on top of their craft they must be on their a-game. For Christians we just need to keep God’s Word in our hearts allowing the Word to become action in our lives. The reason

that Christian should be ever so confident in their faith walk is because Jesus paid it all that we have these covenant rights. He fights for us. From Genesis to Revelation God fights for His people. He fights for us and He defeats the enemy for us and then lives in us to empower us, lead us, and guide us into all truth. The truth will make us free. The truth is that the devil is defeated, Jesus is exalted, and God is glorified, and we have the victory.

In a time when God has been diminished to worshipping when it’s convenient, the body of Christ struggles not to get sucked into the spirit of the age and becoming complacent with the things of God. It’s confusing sometimes as to what men promote as the supreme God because what is being promoted is a biased version of what we think God should be like and not what God is truly like as revealed in His Word. If we want to know what God is like all we have to do is examine the life of Christ. When Phillip asked Jesus to show them the Father the Lord pretty much said “You’re looking at Him.” When we look at the life of Christ, we will see a loving, compassionate Savior who gave His life for the remission of sin and the redemption of mankind. Preaching Christ is to preach the Lord who loves you just as you are but not to leave you that way. The amazing thing about our God is that the Creator of the universe, the omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent God comes to live on the inside of us to lead us, guide us, strengthen us, discern spiritual things, show us things to come, build Christian character, and empower us for the work of ministry and for the plans and purposes of God for our lives. That’s the one huge difference between the true and living God and these false gods that men promote. The God I serve lives on the inside of me. He’s not far away from those who believe but is nigh them that are of a perfect heart and a right spirit towards Him. After the lame man at the gate Beautiful had received his healing and went about praising and glorifying God, Peter explained that men should not look at them as if they healed the lame man but that faith in the name of Jesus made the lame man whole. Today we too preach Christ and His triumph over Satan, death, hell, and the grave. Christ’s exaltation and glorification of the Church is the result of our identification with Him. To God be the glory.

Today’s message is a continuation of last Sunday’s message titled “He is not here, He is Risen,” that we may emphasize the power of the resurrection for Christians presently and how the resurrection is key to all that we receive from the gospel of Jesus Christ. If we believe in the resurrection of Jesus Christ that sets the stage for all gospel benefits that are at our access. The Apostle Paul makes it abundantly clear that without faith in the resurrection then all of the gospel falls , 1 Corinthians 15:12-19 (KJV): 12 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: 14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. 15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. 16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: 17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. 18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. 19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. What the resurrection means for us today is VICTORY! It sealed the truth that we can stand on the Word of God. God will do what He said He would if we believe. God said that He will stand over His Word to perform it, Jeremiah 1:12 (KJV): 12 Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it . His Word will not return void, but will accomplish what God pleases, Isaiah 55:11 (KJV): 11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. This is the blessed hope that is the fruit of every Believer who confesses with their mouths the Lord Jesus Christ and believes in their hearts that God raised Him from the dead. We receive so great a

salvation.

“He is not here: for he is risen,” is one of the most essential statements in the life events of Christ. The meaning was that Jesus had risen. The one manifestation of the power of God in His resolve to save the man that sinned and had gotten himself separated from his Creator was the resurrection of Christ from the dead. The Lord kept His Word as He had prophesied, Mark 8:31 (KJV): 31 And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. Jesus will cause everything dead in our lives to rise up. I’m reminded of Isaiah 40:31 (KJV): 31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Jesus said “I am the resurrection,” and resurrection is in every Believer, because the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead will also make our mortal bodies rise again as well, Romans 8:11 (KJV): 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. Resurrection power resides in us. You and I have get up in us and the Holy Spirit will rise to the occasion when we need Him. Acts 1:8 (KJV): 8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. The resurrection demonstrates our total dependence on our Lord, for without Him we could do nothing. We cannot save ourselves. It was only because of the resurrection and His sufferings that we enjoy the blessings of so great a salvation. The Amplified Bible: Isa 53:5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities; the

chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes [that wounded] Him we are healed and made whole. “He is not here: for he is risen.”

Never let the enemy steal your praise! Never let him steal your joy, or your enthusiasm. You give God the praise even if it’s in the midst of the storm, or whatever it is you may be going through. Hallelujah anyhow! Never let the devil get you down. When the devil comes your

way, hold your head up high and say, Hallelujah anyhow. We invite God into our situations when we acknowledge Him. He can’t lie, and He said that in all of our ways to acknowledge Him and He will direct our paths. I just choose to believe the Word over and above what my

situation dictates to me and let what God says in His Word be more influential than my circumstances. God is able to do more than what I can ask and think. In all things we should give thanks with a grateful heart and praise God from whom all blessings flow. We all have

entered into the house of God challenged in our lives with something that has caused us pain, financial disruption, or whatever it may be that has shaken our faith, but we decided to get ourselves to the house of God anyhow and when we did and began to get our focus on God through worship and praise and listening to the Word of God being preached that day, we realized that God is greater than any problem or challenge that we may face. My faith is put into action first, by my praise unto Him as well as by my continued right corresponding action to the Word of faith. One thing is for sure, I will always render praise, glory, and honor unto my God through the good, the bad, and the ugly. Praise proves my faith in God when it comes from a genuine heart of faith. True worshippers will worship God in spirit and in truth. God seeks such to worship Him. Well, God don’t have to look far for my praise. As long as I have had consciousness I’ve always been a praiser and even the more so as I truly received the understanding of true worship and praise. Hallelujah!

The peace of God be with His people as we travel the road of life. Thank God for salvation for the total man. Many hurting people are searching for answers in a world of traps and chaos that can lead to dead end streets if not directed by the Spirit of God and His Word and even with the Word we’ve got to have faith in the Word and do what the Word commands us. My point being that there’s room at the table of the Lord and, as we have been ministering in the past several messages, God extends His invitation of salvation to all people. The message of Christ is the message for hurting people, the unsaved, sick, troubled, and every person who’s looking for hope. Christ is the blessed hope. As I take note of current events, I’m mindful that we live in a time when there’s a great falling away from the things of God but that doesn’t have to mean that there’s a falling away in our household, neighborhood, or in our sphere of influence. People need the Lord and every day many are suffering because they have no hope in this life or the next and it does not have to be that way. God give us the heart and the resolve to not waste any time in this life being about our Father’s business. That business is about reaching these hurting people and letting them know that there is a God in Heaven that loves them and is the answer to every loose end in their lives. He has provided every need in their lives but beyond their natural needs, He has provided for their spiritual needs which is that we all need a savior and that Savior is Jesus Christ. This is the priority of our generation. That priority is to let people know that there’s a peace that passes understanding. There’s a refreshing from Heaven that only comes from the presence of the Lord that’s more awesome than anything in this natural life. That refreshing is in a personal relationship with the Lord.

Ephesians 5:19 (KJV): 19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord. Colossians 3:16 (KJV): 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. The power of praise and worship is so misunderstood in this generation, even among the lions. Two of the most powerful scriptures that gives us insight on the power of praise is found in Ps. 22:3 (KJV); and Heb. 13:15 (KJV): Psalm 22:3 (KJV): 3 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. Hebrews 13:15 (KJV): 15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. My favorite though, is the account of king Jehoshaphat against the Ammonites, Moabites, and Seir in 2 Chron. 20:20-24 (KJV): 20 And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper. 21 And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever. 22 And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten. 23 For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another. 24 And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they looked unto the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped.

The Word of God reveals to us things past, present, & future. It gives us insight into our own generation and illuminates the path before us not allowing ourselves to be ambushed by the enemy. Our relationship with God should take priority over every other relationship in our lives because all other relationships flow from the relationship we have with Him. God has given us every good thing with our best interest at heart. His plans and purposes for our lives were before the foundation of the world. He predestined us for greatness and has set us up for success. That is the Word of God and His love is demonstrated throughout. He demonstrates His love each and every day if we would take the time to notice instead of focusing on the negative things in our lives. In my series titled “A peculiar Treasure,” the question is asked why does God call us a peculiar treasure, a peculiar people, a kingdom of priests, a royal priesthood a holy nation, a chosen generation, called out of darkness into His marvelous light? We are proof that there is a God in Heaven. We have been called from the foundation of the world to be His witnesses of His goodness, mercy, and grace. God have blessed us with all spiritual blessings and we now are the seed of Abraham, a people of faith of whom God said that all things are possible to them that believe. It’s not God’s will that any should perish, and we are part of the great commission to the rest of the world to let them know that there is the awesome God who loves them so much that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. This is the message to a world in need of the light of the gospel of Jesus Christ and God is calling for a peculiar treasure, a peculiar people, a kingdom of priests, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a chosen generation, called out of darkness into His marvelous light to be His witnesses.

Finding out what God’s plans and purposes are for our lives in this time is detrimental to our fulfilling our destinies in the earth. In order that we achieve that we must know the voice of God. His Word reveals that His sheep hears His voice. John 10:16 (KJV): 16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. John 10:27 (KJV): 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. There’s much competing for our attention but we must

prioritize what’s important and what’s not priority in our lives. Every decision must be seasoned by the anointing of the Holy Spirit. We must be sure that whatever we do it’s in alignment with the Word of God. Reality is that many Christians attempt to do things their way and any of us who have had that mindset knows that it does not take long to come to the conclusion that God’s way is the only way, and our finite minds will miss the mark that God have set for us. What we can do though is pray, study the Word, practice His presence in our lives, love with the love of God, live holy, walk by faith and not by sight, knowing that Jesus Christ, the hope of glory, is the guarantee of the covenant that He established in His own blood and that we can be assured in that reality. God is good, and His mercy endureth to all generations. When we do things our way it will lead us on a path to destruction, every time. Proverbs 16:25 (KJV): 25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. Oh, but getting the human nature to cooperate with the things of God is

where the fight begins. We all know what the Word of God says about the battle between the spirit of man and his flesh. I know that I have the s in spirit in lower case. That’s because the battle is not between the Holy Spirit and our flesh, but between the human spirit, that wants to follow God, and the flesh. No wonder that God says, “Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.”

As we maneuver through what has turned into a 3 yr. pandemic let us not forget to respect principles in the spirit and natural realms. We should continue to use wisdom and do all of the appropriate precautions in the natural to protect ourselves from this virus. Yet, I trust God to be my all sufficiency in the time of need. His Word reveals that by His stripes we are already healed, 1 Pet. 2:24 (KJV): 24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. This pandemic has caused much heartache and pain. Many died and others still have lingering effects from the virus. We shall overcome by the grace of God. Wisdom and diligence with faith in God will be the key to finally making Covid-19 a virus that’s under control like many others man have learned to live with. There have been so much affected by Covid. It forced many Churches into other avenues to provide access to worship services and the like. Covid forced the body of Christ to become more creative in our methods to get the gospel out. It also showed us that there were cracks in our spiritual armor. Many Pastors acknowledged that some parishioners didn’t return to worship services after the pandemic. Technology has brought the message of Christ into our living rooms via television, internet, streaming, satellite, etc., but these do not take the place of accountability, service unto God, fellowship with people of like faith, and what spiritual growth that occurs as we learn to come together for a common goal. Many don’t realize that God is at work when we learn to discipline ourselves to do what God called us to do when faced with abrasive relationships. That’s the part we don’t like but it is part of growing in grace.

Sometimes I wonder what goes through the mind of our awesome, loving God as He sees every evil wicked thing that goes on every second of every day. He sees every murder, every abortion, every act of incest, every rape, every war, every child killed, every hate crime, every wrong jailing, every kidnapping, every sexual abuse, every political manipulation and abuse, all sexual trafficking, drug abuse, death, and I could type for days all the wrong. Of course there’s a lot of good that goes on, probably much more than the evil, souls coming into a saving knowledge, getting filled with the Holy Spirit, those being set free and delivered, beautiful families training up their children, lives being restored, men doing great things at the leading of the Spirit, babies born, couples getting married, seeing His children walking in the blessings, and much much more great things that are going on in the earth. We are made in the image of God, and we have very much the same emotional feelings that God has, and we would be so grieved in our hearts at the evil perpetrated by men. The little that we do know and see is enough to make our hearts heavy. The love of many have waxed cold. Even the best of us come short of His glory. God saw through all of that ugliness though and His love compelled Him to compassion for the man He created and to become the Lamb of God who would sacrifice His natural life for the sin of the world that men might partake of the tree of life. His love is passed understanding. His mercy endureth to all generations. That includes ours. In The end we all must conclude that we’re all in need of a savior, and that Savior He is, as the psalmist wrote:

² The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower, Psalm 18:2 (KJV).

First of all, let me say that the celebration of life service for Bro. Ronnie was off-the-chain. A shout out of thanks to everyone who put their hands to the plow to make the service a great success. Our hearts and prayers continue to go out to the family of Bro. Ronnie who obviously touched many lives and will be tremendously missed though we know he’s in Heaven now, no suffering, no dialysis, no effects of a stroke, heart issues, amputations, no worries about a kidney transplant, but in his spirit body which will soon be reunited with a glorified body that will not have any of those kind of blemishes, the blessing of being in covenant relationship with the only wise and true God. What a wonderful man of God. Prayerfully the service met the expectations of the family. Mr. Martin and his team, as usual, did a fantastic job and are to be commended. Be encouraged family & saints and you already know why I say this, not that we won’t miss Bro. Ronnie’s kind and humble spirit, but because we will be together again in all eternity. We not only enjoy this present life but we prepare for the life to come. What will not follow us into eternity are the ills of this life, death, sickness, poverty, war, crime, hatred, and such like. Think of it this way, what is the few years of this life compared to eternity? James 4:14 (KJV): 14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. Psalm 90:10 (KJV): 10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. With these Scriptures in mind, priority for all men must be eternity, of course enjoying our faith journey on earth, but keeping our priorities right. Thank God, my brother in Christ, Bro. Ronnie, kept his priorities right. To God be the glory!

Prophesy is proof that the Word of God is a sure foundation, not that Believers need proof, but there are doubters, scoffers, and unbelievers, who may want proof that the Word of God is truth. God revealed thousands of years in advance things that would happen future and as sure as He revealed it, it came to pass. It was revealed in Jesus would be betrayed by a friend in Ps. 41:9 (KJV): 9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me. It was fulfilled in Matt. 26:47-50 (KJV): 47 And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people. 48 Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast. 49 And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him. 50 And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him. We are that generation that was prophesied about in Amos 9:11, 12, that God would raise up called by His name in 1 Pet. 2:9, who would be after God’s own heart as David was according to Acts 15:16, for such a time as this. If prophesy past is any indication, then what God says He will bring to pass He will do. We are living in the greatest time of the Church because according to Acts 2:14-18, this is the age of the Spirit, and according to Acts 15:13-17, this is also the age of the Church. These are the times whereas the Word reveals are perilous times according to 2 Tim. 3:1, but also the generation of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit as well. So, though we live in perilous times, we are also in the best time of the Church, with the revelation of Jesus Christ,

the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and the canon of scripture, the body of Christ is more equipped than any other time in history to walk in victory. We’re also in the most blessed place to carry on the great commission to go into all the world and preach the gospel that men may come into a saving knowledge of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ which is the mind of God according to Acts 15:17. Praise the Lord!

The Spirit of the Lord is the Church’s Helper, Comforter, Intercessor, Advocate, & Strengthener. He is the promise of the Father to the Church in these last days. Without the Holy Spirit we would be powerless over our flesh, and against the enemy. He will help us if we let Him. As we embark upon this new season of 2023 God is our Rock and has us in mind as He restores His people to His best for their lives. That does not mean that Satan is going to roll over and not do what he does, but God have given us power over all of the power of the enemy. We have been ministering from Acts 15:13-17 and the Holy Spirit is very much a part of the restoration of the Tabernacle of David. The outpouring of the Holy Spirit is synonymous with the age of the Church. He will guide you and I if we let Him. We play a part in how much the Holy Spirit is involved in our lives. We do have a say in what degree God is allowed in our lives. The Word of God is clear that we may fellowship with the Holy Spirit, Philip. 2:1 (KJV): ¹ If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies. We are commanded to be filled with the Holy Spirit, Eph. 5:18 (KJV): ¹⁸ And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit. Thank God for the Holy Spirit. At so many intervals in my life I can attest to the Spirit of God’s involvement that put me over the top and I got the victory in each individual situation. Many of those situations could have ended in turmoil but with God’s help, I experienced a much better outcome. At other times, even with the help of the Holy Spirit, situations may not turn out for the best, but it’s not because of God not doing His part, it’s the fallow ground of the hearts of men who ignore God’s will and plans for their lives. None-the-less, the Holy Spirit endues with power, and that power is for character building and service in the kingdom of God. That service is for the work of ministry as revealed in Eph. 4:12 (KJV): ¹² For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ. To God be the glory.

Though the 21 Day Consecration concludes on today, the restoration of the Tabernacle of David prophesied in Amos 9:11, 12 is the plans and purposes of God at this present time for the Church which is the center focus of this last day Pentecost that’s already begun. Studying the life of king David gives us insight into the Church’s part in this move of God. We’ve examined David’s quest returning the Ark of the Covenant, which was the presence and power of God during the days of Israel, but David’s life represents so much more. David’s actions were the outflow of his faith. I would even go as far as saying that David had great faith if I were to judge his faith by his actions. David was listed as one of the faith greats in Heb. 11:32 (KJV): 32 And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets. In the Apostle Paul’s revelation of the faith of Abraham being counted to him for righteousness, David’s quote from Ps. 32:1, 2 (KJV) was cross-referenced in Rom. 4:6-8 (KJV): 6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, 7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. Psalm 32:1-2 (KJV): 1 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. 2 Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile. David’s faith was beyond his time. He spoke as one under grace and not under the Law of Moses. The heart of David was to please his God, Acts 13:22 (KJV): 22 And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will. In these last days the Lord is building a spiritual house of Davids, those who have a heart to please their God. We are that generation of Christians.

The Holy Spirit’s outpouring signaled a new dispensation in the plans and purposes of God in the earth. It would be a new era, an era where men could once again, have a personal relationship with their Creator as Adam did in the Garden of Eden. Man’s full restoration will

be realized after the second coming of Christ. Until then the Lord blesses us to have His Spirit within us to guide us, lead us, help us, and empower us. My prayer is that those things which should be priority in our lives take their rightful place and spiritual things and things of the natural find their balance. We have His Word in these end times and is what guides us through the darkness. The light of the Word unveils the devices of the enemy as well as uncover the traps of the wicked one that the people of God will have eyes wide open to the darts of the devil. God will not let His people be blindsided nor ambushed but we must be sober and be vigilant for as the Word declares, our adversary, the devil walks about seeking whom he may devour. During CCC’s 21 Day Consecration my prayer is that God reveal Himself in such a way that the enemy couldn’t harm you regardless of his strategies because you will be so close to your God that evil would be easily revealed and defeated. The same prayer for the body of Christ, the Church, that we would be so close to God that evil would be easily revealed and dealt with before it can do any harm to the people of God. The anointing would be so in the Church that evil could not set up camp because the people of God would not allow it. It’s our time, the age of the Church and the age of the Holy Spirit. God’s Spirit was given to the Church and it’s by His Spirit that we, the Church, will be victorious in every arena of our lives. Faith in

God and in His Christ is the key. Let His body, the Church, walk in the fullness of God’s revelation of who we are in Christ that we might persuade others to come into a saving knowledge of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. With your help oh God, we will be that beacon of

hope.

As we seek God’s face during CCC’s 21 Day Consecration ushering in the New Year of 2023, I pray that God reveals Himself in a much deeper way spiritually. His plans and purposes for each and everyone who will take the time to seek after God be revealed in a clear and more intentional fashion. As I continue the series “It’s Our Time, The Age of the Church” I would encourage the Partners of CCC to see the spiritual connection between Acts 15:13-17 and the present-day Church. The Church today is that generation of worshippers that God prophesied about through the prophet Amos that He would restore the Tabernacle of David, the intimacy between God and His people, a people who won’t settle for religion, an outward form of worship without a true inner experience with the God of their salvation. God is fulfilling His Word to them that believe. The blessing of this awesome move of God is that all people, every nation, and in every corner of the earth, in this hour, are part of one of the last end time moves of God just because they’re a part of this generation and this is the generation that is about as close as I can get my fingers to His soon coming. God’s salvation plan of restoration, redemption, by grace through faith is the Church’s message to a dying world. We are the vessels that God is using to extend that grace to all lands and all people. It’s our time, for the Church to shine in the Master’s hand. Shine because we are that light, the salt of the earth, the city on a hill for such a time as this to show forth the praises of Him who delivered us out of darkness into His marvelous light. That light is the only hope that mankind has and apart from God there is no hope. Jesus is the hope of our salvation and the hope for ours and every generation before us and after us. The psalmist was so right when he said in 1 Chron. 16: 21-23 (KJV): 31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The LORD reigneth. 32 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the fields rejoice,

and all that is therein. 33 Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the LORD, because he cometh to judge the earth.

Happy New Year Partners, as we usher in year 2023. Today marks the first day of CCC’s annual 21 Day Consecration, in which we will upload a copy of our 21 Day Consecration guide to our website as well as we will place some in the foyer of the main sanctuary. Actually, the theme for CCC’s 21 Day Consecration for 2023 is in alignment with what God has prophesied for this age and this generation. Our theme for the 21 Day Consecration will be further explained in the message uploaded to CCC’s website for Sunday, 1-1-23. The 21 Day Consecration is about seeking Him, His Presence, communion, fellowship, and intimacy with God. Worshipping Him, praising Him, and drawing closer to Him is what I’m encouraging the saints of God to find themselves spending as much time in as possible during the consecration. After all, this is what the consecration is designed for, to spend time in the presence of the Lord. The theme for the

21 Day Consecration as well as for 2023 is: “It’s Our Time, The Age of the Church.” The research for the theme, as well as the teaching behind the tabernacle of David, will be shared with the Partners and friends of CCC in future messages that will also be uploaded to our website. Until the Church follows God’s blueprint our efforts are in vain. Isaiah 1 reveals a people who had all but turned the worship of God into nothing more than ecclesiastical formalities and outward religious performances, but their hearts were far from Him. God is not interested in empty religious rhetoric, but He taught Adam how to conduct himself in the presence of God, with praise and worship, with reverential respect for the Creator of all things. The Holy Spirit being an integral part of the age of the Church, it also being the age of the Spirit. His indwelling presence and infilling power is essential in this age of restoration whereas God is restoring the man He created back to what He had originally intended between them and that was a personal relationship with one another which is a far cry from religion and outward formality.

Merry Christmas and a blessed 2023 New Year CCC Partners as we close out yet another chapter. In the message today I will be sharing with you the theme for 2023 as well as celebrating the birth of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. Jesus was who the schoolmaster, the

law, pointed to. The burnt offering, peace offering, meal offering, the scapegoat offering, sin offering, trespass offering, the Ark of the Covenant, the priesthood, the Tabernacle of Moses, all pointed to Christ. The birth of Christ ushered in a new age, the age of the Church. The gospel had been preached to the Jews but not being mixed with faith did not profit them, Heb. 4:1-3 (KJV): 1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. 2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. 3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the

foundation of the world. After the message of Christ was preached, God raised up a man named Peter to go to the Gentiles, Acts 9, 10. It had been prophesied in Isa. 11:10 (KJV) that Christ, the root of Jesse, would be who the Gentiles would seek after to find that rest of God.

Isaiah 11:10 (KJV): 10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious. That day has come and that day is now. This is the age of the Church, and the age of the Holy Spirit, since the Holy Spirit is our Helper, Comforter, Strengthener, Counselor, Intercessor, Advocate, and our Standby, in the earth. CCC’s theme for 2023 is: “It’s Our Time, The Age of the Church. Our theme scripture is Acts 15:13-17 (KJV). We will have CCC’s annual 21 Day Consecration

with each Monday night being a night of prayer from 7:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. I will be providing a guide to fasting as I always do to encourage parishioners of CCC in the things that God have given me for the New Year of 2023.

As we bring to a close another chapter in all of our lives, we now can look forward to our next chapter that God has in His plans and purposes for each and every one of us. 2022 didn’t wait on any of us. It seems like only a few days ago we were talking about the end of 2021 going into 2022. I believe that God has so much in store for all of our futures and we all will have some connection with the plans and purposes of God for each another. You see, I am convinced that this is the age of the Church, and the age of the Holy Spirit. God is revealing Himself in ways that let us know it’s Him that’s doing the work. The anointing of the Holy Spirit is guiding the Church just like He always has throughout the Old and New Testaments and for those who were sensitive to the things of God, were always able to sense in the spirit what the will of God was. Great things are ahead for them that believe. It’s our time as the Church, the body of Christ, for such a time as this, to make a difference all to the glory of God. As we will share in the message today, we’ve been equipped with all of the necessary tools to do what God have called us to. He has called us to be His witnesses, to preach the gospel, and to be a light to the world. This is the greatest hour and opportunity of the Church because God said so, Acts 2:14-18. The awesomeness of it all is that God is revealing to His people those things in the mind of God reserved just for this age. The Holy Spirit will reveal to the Church of Jesus Christ the plans of God as is necessary for our generation. That doesn’t mean we stop praying, studying the Word, praising God, nor any of the things that we have done as worshippers up to this point, but should, if anything, increase our awareness of these things as we seek the Lord and remember what James revealed to us in James 4:8 (KJV): Draw nigh to God and he will draw nigh to you. Now, more than ever, is the time to draw nigh to God and not get caught up in the spirit of this age. Don’t miss out on the blessings that God is about to rain down on His people. It's our time now saints of God. It’s our time, the age of the Church.

I keep hearing in my spirit, “It’s our time, It’s our time,” and I ask the Lord, “Lord, if it’s our time then why does it seem like we’re not walking in it?” The Lord reminded me of the caterpillar when it’s in the cocoon. The struggle to break out of the cocoon prepares the caterpillar, now turned butterfly, for flight. The trials of our faith and the tests God will use for a greater good as we trust Him in the midst of them. And as I mentioned in a prior Pastor’s Pen, when we think we’re going through a struggle, rest assured, there’s someone wrestling with much worse. As a matter of fact, right now, as I pen this writing, I received a text from an ex-co-worker and he just shared with me another co-worker of ours had just passed. Many would be glad to have the challenges that we have. I’m not saying that trials and tests feel good while we’re in them, but what I am saying is God will work them together for our good. “And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience,” Rom. 5:3 (KJV), or tribulation worketh character. The word tribulation is from the Gr. thlipsis, and it means pressure, afflicted, affliction, anguish, burdened, persecution, tribulation, and trouble. The word patience in this verse is from the Gr. hupomone, and it means endurance, constancy, enduring, patience, patient, continuance, and waiting. It’s the character necessary in this life for everything we will have to confront and get the victory over. It’s also a balanced perspective of life, and not being catapulted to the extreme in one direction or another. “My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing,” James 1:2-4 (KJV).

This year is coming to a close and I personally am reminiscing over how awesome God have been throughout the “Year of Divine Shifting and Rearranging to the Order of God.” We’ve slowly, but methodically re-opened our worship services and we had planned to re-open CCC’s Children’s Church this month of December but we’ve had to set that date back because we’re not quite ready. I’ve always said that if we can’t do things right then we won’t do it. We are full speed ahead for 2023 and I pray that the entire CCC family is as prepared to move forward as well. It’s our time! The Church age is the greatest time for the body of Christ. We have the Word, the Holy Spirit, the angels, and one another to get this thing done for the glory of God. Remember what God told Peter when Peter asked what was in it for them since they left all to follow Jesus? “And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel’s, But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and the world to come eternal life,” Mk. 10:29, 30 (KJV). We don’t lose in the kingdom, but we will reap if we faint not. Evidently, we can faint. God commands us to be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God. We will see the glory of the Lord in our generation. His glory has manifested throughout the Old & New Testaments, and we will see His glory come down in our generation. Our expectation should be to experience His glory like Solomon when he dedicated the temple. “And the priests could not enter into the house of the Lord, because the glory of the Lord had filled the Lord’s house,” 2 Chron. 7:2 (KJV).

I pray that everyone enjoyed a blessed Thanksgiving celebration. We have much to be thankful for. God is good to us and He’s worthy of all the praise that’s due unto His name. Praise, out of a heart of thanksgiving, is appropriate. I love the Thanksgiving holiday because it is a time set aside particularly to consider the things that He have done for us, and the proper response is the giving of thanks. Of course, we enjoy some great food as well and I don’t think the Lord have no problem with that, but the focus is the giving of thanks and expressing our praise and adoration unto the God of our salvation. The Giver of life and the source of every good gift and every perfect gift, the all-sufficient One, and the lifter of our heads, dwells in the praises of His people. 15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name, Hebrews 13:15 (KJV). If Thanksgiving is the only time that we think

about giving God thanks we are in trouble since the blessings of God are showered down upon us each and every day. We are loaded with benefits daily. 45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust, Matthew 5:45 (KJV). His blessings are upon the just and the unjust. He is the awesome God! All in this life necessary to be all that we can be, has already been done for us. He has predestined us for His purposes and plans for our lives and have already, from the foundation of the world, gone ahead of us and illuminated the way for us. He

gave His Spirit to guide us and help us along the path because without God’s Spirit we could do nothing. Thank God for the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, He who empowers us, and His indwelling Presence builds us in Christian character that we may be equipped for the mission set before us. Thank you, Father God, for the life that comes from above. Amen.

It may not seem like it in the natural, but in the spiritual realm, this present age is the age of the Church, the ekklesia, the body of Christ, Acts 2:14-18 (Amplified Bible): ^{Ac 2:14} But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them: You Jews and all you residents of Jerusalem, let this be [explained] to you so that you will know and understand; listen closely to what I have to say. ^{Ac 2:15} For these men are not drunk, as you imagine, for it is [only] the third hour (about 9:00 a.m.) of the day; ^{Ac 2:16} But [instead] this is [the beginning of] what was spoken through the prophet Joel: ^{Ac 2:17} And it shall come to pass in the last days, God declares, that I will pour out of My Spirit upon all mankind, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy [ ² telling forth the divine counsels] and your young men shall see visions ( ³ divinely granted appearances), and your old men shall dream [ ⁴ divinely suggested] dreams. ^{Ac 2:18} Yes, and on My menservants also and on My maidservants in those days I will pour out of My Spirit, and they shall prophesy [ ⁵ telling forth the divine counsels and ⁶ predicting future events pertaining especially to God’s kingdom]. Though we’re living in troubling times it’s also the reason that I believe the Church’s time is now since the Word of God says that the Church is the light of the world, the salt of the earth, the city on a hill, to have a purifying affect on this age, a preserving affect from the standpoint that the Church is the vessel God is using in these last days to illuminate the way of the kingdom, present righteousness in a world of darkness, and to give men a choice as opposed to the evil in our present day. ¹³ Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. ¹⁴ Ye are the light of the world.

I am sure that many of you are breathing somewhat of a sigh of relief after the Tuesday elections even if you didn’t see candidates you may have voted for win. Though there are still ballots being counted, like 2020, I am convinced that this country dodged a bullet. There are forces in this country that are willing to lie, cheat, and steal to hold onto power, and in extreme cases, willing to put others lives in jeopardy. I’m not going to focus on politics in this Pastor’s Pen, but I do want to use the climate of our politics to highlight the focus of my message today titled “It’s Our Time.” In the message we confront how Christians also, can get caught up in the influence of a particular political party over the influence of the kingdom of God. Mature Christians who are built up in Christian character according to Gal. 5:22, 23; 1 Cor. 13:4-8, are balanced Christians who don’t allow the influences of this life to override the influence of the kingdom. They’re strong in their faith. They believe in their God with all their hearts, minds, and strength. They’re built up in their total being spirit, soul, and body. Lord knows we need more mature Christians who can influence the climate of our generation. I’m convinced that the only reason that the bad guys didn’t win during this last election is because there were a few good people who had enough of the circus that has become of our politics and said that enough is enough, but how long before the bad guys have enough of them to pull off their shenanigans, as the politicians would say. If it were not for those with a Christian conscience, this country would be in trouble a long time ago. We need mature Christians to rise up for such a time as this and affect our areas of influence for the kingdom of God. It’s that or let the extreme drag this country down to nothing and us with it, and that’s not happening without a fight.

Today, as I type this Pastor’s Pen, I’m reminded of one writer who said that our area didn’t dodge a bullet, we dodged a missile, speaking of Hurricane Ian. All I know is that God answered the prayers of the saints, not saying that there were not saints praying for Florida, we were just blessed that the timing of a wind shift, a cold front, and the moving of Hurricane Ian more easterly resulted in what followed in our area. For me though, it was God, and for that I thank Him and give God all the praise, glory, and honor. When we look at the devastation of Ft. Myers Fl., Tampa, Ft. Myers beach, and the surrounding communities, saints we are blessed that Hurricane Ian didn’t do the damage in our area that it did in theirs. Of course, our hearts and prayers go out to Floridians because no one wants to see these types of disasters happen to anyone. This is what I mean when I say that we just don’t know from one day to the next what life is going to throw at us. Yes, God is with us. Yes, God will provide. Yes, He is able, but He’s all those things to the Christians in Florida as well yet they find themselves temporarily without homes, food, water, and some of the simple necessities of life. I personally am going to find some way to donate to agencies that are presently in Florida helping those people recover from what will go down as one of the most consequential storms in Florida’s history, and I pray that Partners of CCC will find it in their hearts to do the same. We may not be able to be there with them, but we can support those agencies who can. That’s a personal decision for each individual to make and I very much respect that. Thank you, Lord, for your mighty outstretched arms to protect your people and keep us from all hurt, harm, and danger.

Calvary is on the move saints. God has given us favor and the grace to be able to get some things done around the Church that has long been overdue. Contractors have done an excellent job on the roof and the vinyl siding will be completed on Monday. The under siding has been completed, and all that remains is the gables. Elder Jackson and Bro. Randolph spearheaded the work on the building. We appreciate them taking the lead on those projects. Sis. Sylvia Williams is helping with the website and we’re continuing to make progress with making our website more personal and user friendly. I encourage everyone to explore the membership portal and familiarize yourself with all the capabilities within the membership portal. I personally appreciate all those who put their hands to the plow within the ministry of Calvary Christian Center to help keep the vision alive. It will not happen if we don’t have the ministry of helps in full force within the ministry. As I continue the series “Order in the Kingdom” I will be sharing concerning the blessing of walking in the order of God and remaining in His order. Many in the body of Christ never tap into the fullness of what God have for them because that level of faith is not for the faint of heart, but for them who endure to the end, or who will remain faithful through the storms, winds, floods, and the rains. When it comes to the things of God, you’ve got to be in it for the long haul, not just when you’re on the mountaintop. Living by faith is the order of God. His will, His plans and purposes, His Word revealed is the heart of the Church. True joy and happiness come from a personal relationship with the Lord, not silver and gold, money or houses, fame, or fortune. This joy that I have, the world didn’t give it, and the world can’t take it away. In Him we live and move and have our being. This is the order of God.

The Lord is good, and His mercy endures forever. His grace is everlasting. I’ll make my boast in the Lord and give Him the praise that’s due unto His name. If I had ten thousand tongues, I couldn’t praise Him enough. Jehovah dwells in the praises of His people. I thank God in the morning, evening, and at night. There’s nobody like Him. Who wouldn’t serve a God like this? The Lord have kept me these many years. He’s Jehovah-Jireh, the Lord my provider. If we, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto our children, how much more would the Father give to them that ask? He never gives us just enough to get by, but He gives us abundantly, above all that we can ask or think. He gives us more than enough. My trust is in the Lord who made Heaven and Earth. His Word says that if I delight myself in the Lord, He’ll give me the desires of my heart. His love is unheard of, matchless, and beyond natural comprehension. He loved you and I so much that He didn’t send an archangel, but He clothe Himself in human form according to Phillip. 2, and submitted Himself to be obedient unto death. His death was His own precarious way of saving man. Now if we confess with our mouths the Lord Jesus Christ and believe in our hearts that God raised Him from the dead the Bible says we would be saved. For with our hearts, we believe unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Once we cross that river we are crucified with Christ. It’s no longer us living, but the life that we now live, we live by the grace of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. We are now restored to God’s original plan for man in the Garden of Eden. A place of communion, fellowship, praise, worship, and a personal relationship with Him.

In our last message titled, “Order in the Kingdom,” we examined the events surrounding the prodigal son, Lk. 15:11-32, his father, and the elder son. The events of this story present an astonishing analogy drawn between what happened when the younger son left the provisions of his father and took all his inheritance and spent it on riotous living in comparison to those who ignore the order, will, or Word of God. The consequence in each case is devastating. They lead to an end of destruction. It may not be the same destruction but destruction it will be. The purpose of the parable of the prodigal son was to illustrate how the kingdom rejoices over those who were dead (separated from God) but are found. Of course, it’s not God’s will that any should perish but that all should come to a saving knowledge of the truth. That truth being that salvation is extended to all men. We know from the Apostle Peter that God is no respecter of persons but in all nations he that fears God and works righteousness is accepted of Him. One of the highlights of the parable of the prodigal son was when the father revealed to the elder son that as long as he was with his father, he had access to all that his father possessed. That’s powerful. Saints don’t have to be jealous of one another. The elder son should have been excited and glad as well, but he had somewhat of a selfish spirit when he had access to all that his father had as well as his younger brother. Instead of seeing the need of restoration for his younger brother who was lost but was found, he saw it as he was being overlooked when, in actuality, he was not. Gal. 6:1 (KJV) reads: “Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.” The key to it all is remaining in the order of God and not allowing the enemy to separate us from His best for our lives.

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God, Romans 10:17 (KJV).

Hearing means hearing over and over again, reminding ourselves of the Word and will of God

over and over again. We can’t just hear the Word once or twice or even a million times and

think that we’ve heard it enough. As Believers we must remind ourselves of what God says to

us, what He says of us, and who He says we are, or we can begin to waver in our faith. Why?

Because God said so. Faith comes by hearing, and if God says that faith will only come when

we constantly and continually hear it over and over again then faith will only come when we

hear it and continue to hear it over and over again. I know personally that over a period of time

my memory will be less sharp if I don’t keep myself reminded of certain important information.

Other less important things I will totally forget about over a period of time until I see it again

and then I remember that information. That’s why it is absolutely essential to our faith to hear

the Word over and over again, reminding ourselves what the Word reveals. This is especially

true as it relates to the tests and trials of our faith. 7 That the trial of your faith, being much

more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto

praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ, 1 Peter 1:7 (KJV). 2 My

brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying

of your faith worketh patience, James 1:2-3 (KJV). 12 Blessed is the man that endureth

temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath

promised to them that love him, James 1:12 (KJV). I know that in the natural we don’t like

trials and tests, but they are necessary because they will show us where we truly are in our faith.

When the big test comes, we’ll know that our faith is genuine because we would have

demonstrated by experience that we have grown to trust God in every situation. 5 Trust in the

LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways

acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths, Proverbs 3:5, 6 (KJV).

In an age when so much light has been revealed and yet, the kingdom of darkness still seems to

have sway over much of this generation. We, the Church, have been raised up for such a time

as this to be light in a world of darkness. Heaven, and the kingdom of light, has been revealed

against Satan, and the kingdom of darkness, and therefore you would think that the choice for

the kingdom of light would be a no-brainer. The deception in this generation is that people are

totally oblivious of the spiritual warfare that goes on outside of the natural realm and therefore

they don’t sense the urgency of the times that we live in, nor are they aware that the two

kingdoms even exist, or at least to a minimum, they choose to ignore that reality. The light

shines in the darkness. Light representing the revelation of the kingdom of God, and His Christ,

and the kingdom of darkness representing the kingdom of Satan, demons, and his kingdom.

Ignorance is the tool of Satan he depends on to wreak havoc on unsuspecting individuals that

are blinded by him. The Bible is clear on this in 2 Cor. 4:3, 4 (KJV): 3 But if our gospel be hid, it

is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them

which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God,

should shine unto them. The Church is the only hope for the world today. You say “But Pastor,

don’t you mean God is the only hope for the world today?” Of course, but the arm that God

uses in the earth is the Church. God does nothing in the earth except through a man. Think

about it. He came in the form of a man. Even the angels are limited in what they can do in the

earth but through the invite of a man. Our, the Church’s, place in the earth is to be His

mouthpiece, His arms, His ambassadors representing Heaven, not just another religious sect

promoting the will of man over the will of God. In this season, the light from the lighthouse is

God’s final appeal to men that He calls heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I

have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou

and thy seed may live, Deut. 30:19 (KJV).

In today’s message we solicit the help of Lk. 16:19-31 to encourage the people of God in our generation to be diligent in our faith walk. As Christians we can sometimes think that just because we’re already saved and heaven bound, we need not be concerned with the destiny of others who are lost, but that’s as far from the truth as light is from darkness. The account of the rich man and Lazarus in this story focuses more on what happened after their deaths more so than their lives but I want to flip the script and spend more time on their living than after their deaths because it was what they had done before their deaths that determined their destinies after their deaths. As a people of the eternal, we should be concerned about what happens in eternity than what happens in the temporal since understanding the eternal will influence how we live in the temporal. In Lk. 16:19-21 (KJV) the Bible reads: ^{Lk 16:19} There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: ^{Lk 16:20} And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, ^{Lk 16:21} And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. The rich man didn’t see what was coming and obviously by his priorities, he wasn’t mindful of things eternal. If he had, then he would not have ended up where he did. On the other hand, Lazarus did not have much in this life, yet he was rich spiritually. This too was obvious, or he would not have ended up in paradise. We live in this life, some of us have been blessed to have had great shoulders to have stood upon and gained a great Christian heritage. Others though, have not been so blessed, and like the rich man, stumbles in the dark without the light of the gospel of Christ. That’s where we, the people of God, come in. Though life has it uncertainties, we have the truth. That truth will guide us in this life and in the life to come. While on this side of glory we have the opportunity to encourage those like the rich man, at least to be an instrument in His hands that through us God might be able to save some.

I am glad to announce that CCC’s new website is 100% up and running. We’re uploading videos and Bible study messages again. We’ve also updated the Coronavirus page with the latest update from the CDC that was given on Thursday, 8-11-22. We’re continuing to follow our present protocol as it relates to the Church services at CCC. We will continue to put the newsletter out on the front door of the main sanctuary as we have in the past for those who do not have access to the internet. We’ve still working on plans to open our Sunday worship services every Sunday. As we work through all the complications of the pandemic, we solicit your prayers that God would continue to give us the wisdom to execute His plans and purposes for CCC decently and in order. We desire and will practice what we preach and that is that we too follow the order of God. I want everything that we do to be done to the glory of God. His order brings His blessings on all that we do, because we do whatever we do as unto the Lord, and not unto men. I don’t want to do anything that God is not in it and if God is not in it then we won’t do it. I also want to thank Elder Glennie Jackson and Elder Kevin Massey for ministering the Word while First Lady and I got a chance to get a little down time and some r&r. Also, along with Elder Jackson, bro. Elvis Randolph for overseeing the new roof and porch for the Church. These were all desperately needed, and they were well executed, and the finished work is over and above what we expected. We still have much work to do though saints of God. Even though the website is 100% up and functioning, there’s still some fine tuning to do in order that we take full advantage of what the new website affords us. I especially am excited about the correspondence capabilities between those who interact with the website and myself. We will continue to communicate with you, the Partners of the ministry, and update you on our progress. Also, I want to thank everyone for your prayers for First Lady and myself as today First Lady tested negative for Covid-19. GOD ANSWERS PRAYER! HALLELUJAH!

Order In The Kingdom

Sun, 07 Aug 2022 15:57:13 GMT

In today’s message we’re encouraging the people of God in His order, and in His way of doing. In a time where anger and hate is the norm, God still says “Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.” Excellence and integrity are the rallying cry for them that love God and are the called according to His purpose. Everything, as it relates to the Church and the people of God, should be done decently and in order. As God’s children we should exemplify His character, Gal. 5:22, 23 (KJV): ²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, ²³ Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. His character is the fruit of our relationship with Him. We are to walk in the Spirit and not in our flesh. For many many years I have used Gal. 5:22, 23 to teach that the character of God should be priority in our faith walk. Gifts and talents will get us to places that our character won’t keep us if we’re not prepared for what comes with promotion. When the blessings of God come upon us, we’ve got to be mature enough to know how to carry ourselves mentally and emotionally in order to enjoy those blessings and not allow ourselves to forget where those blessings come from. Humility is not one of the most prominent traits in our world today. As God prospers us, we should let the world know that it wasn’t by our power nor by our might that brought us our wealth, but it was the Lord that have given us the ability to prosper and be in health even as our souls prosper. As I was having a conversation with another Pastor, we were talking about current events and both of us simultaneously voiced how blessed we are in this great country of America, despite its shortcomings, as opposed to the chaos that is going on across the world today. If you have food on your table, a roof over your head, clothes on your back, health and strength, you’re blessed. God is good to us, “That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust,” Matt. 5:45 (KJV). Our part is to point people to Him by them seeing His character in us, being His witnesses, and testifying of His goodness and His grace.

He was a noble, honorable, dedicated, patriotic, and committed soldier under King David’s leadership. When Bathsheba became pregnant from […]

Contributions By The Descendants Of Ham

Sun, 06 Feb 2022 16:37:00 GMT

Many do not know about the contributions to mankind by the descendants of Ham, the father of the Negro and darker-skinned people throughout the earth. God determined the boundaries of their habitation and that is also for all people on the earth. “And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on […]

Look At God

Sun, 30 Jan 2022 18:33:00 GMT

2022 is well on its way and I pray that you’re walking in the blessings spirit, soul, and body. As we launch into the new year just be mindful that the Lord loves you and has the best in mind for you and your family. His plans and purposes for our lives are always best and will […]

Celebrating Accomplishments

Sun, 23 Jan 2022 18:55:00 GMT

As we celebrate the accomplishments of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his contributions to society, and as we prepare to celebrate Black History month, my Sunday series titled “Out of His Wisdom, Our Uniqueness,” dives deep into the contributions of the descendants of Ham, which are people of color, to explore what God’s Word […]

Sun, 16 Jan 2022 16:05:00 GMT

As we near the end of CCC’s 21 Day Consecration I am also planning for the final in-person prayer this Monday, 1-17-22 from 7:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. Again, we will be following COVID-19 protocol of wearing protective coverings, physical distancing, and temperature checks upon entrance into the main sanctuary. The prayer on last Monday, 1-8-22, had […]

First Live Service

Sun, 09 Jan 2022 16:43:00 GMT

This Monday, 1-10-22, I’m planning to proceed with our first live worship service for 2022 when we come together for our prayer during our 21 Day Consecration. I’m asking those who plan to attend to be prepared to go through COVID-19 protocol such as temperature checks, face coverings, physical distancing, washing of hands, and follow every […]

The Winds Of Change

Sun, 02 Jan 2022 15:11:00 GMT

A blessed New Year to CCC Partners and to all of our neighbors and friends. The winds of change continue to be all over the place as we cross the threshold of another year. I’m going to share some news with everyone concerning the new year and some changes as we continue monitoring our situation here […]

Much To Answer To God For

Sun, 26 Dec 2021 15:02:00 GMT

What would be the commentary of Jesus, the Light of the world, on man’s present stewardship of those things that have been placed into his hands? Ps. 8:4-9 (KJV) reads 4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? 5 For thou hast made him a little lower than […]

Put It In The Master’s Hands

Sun, 12 Dec 2021 17:03:00 GMT

Is it just me or does it seem like the world is getting meaner? Whatever the answer is to that question it sure seems to me that people at the drive-thru restaurants, the neighborhood grocery, the auto repair shop, etc., are edgier. For me, in general, it just seems like people are less patient, quicker to get […]

A Servant’s Heart

Sun, 05 Dec 2021 15:15:00 GMT

Let’s Prepare For A Blessed Year

Mon, 29 Nov 2021 00:54:00 GMT

In tomorrow’s Bible study I will begin sharing the theme for 2022 as well as sharing preparation for advancing to Phase 3 of CCC’s COVID-19 protocol. Of course, we’ll continue safety measures already established and I will be providing information to all of our Partners. God is working all things together for the good to them that […]

Blessed To Be Here Still

Sun, 21 Nov 2021 15:38:00 GMT

Well, the past 2 yrs. have been an experience for our country as well as our world with the COVID-19 pandemic, shutdowns, furloughs, business closures, jobs lost, and all of the fallout from the pandemic whose tentacles reached out into every aspect of our lives. I, for one, have never faced a pandemic such as we […]

The Greatest Fulfillment

Sun, 14 Nov 2021 16:16:00 GMT

As we wrapped up our series on “Remaining Faithful in a Faithless Generation” we focused on the calling of the Church being the light of the world, the city on a hill, the salt of the earth. The Church’s calling is the greatest calling since souls are in the balance, therefore our remaining faithful in a […]

Update For CCC

Sun, 07 Nov 2021 14:46:00 GMT

I want to give our Partners at CCC an update since meeting with CCC’s Brd. Of Dir. and Medical Emergency Response Team this past Tuesday. We continue monitoring the COVID-19 situation in our area through the CDC and Ga. Coastal Health District. Average new cases and deaths in surrounding counties are dropping though they’re about where we […]

Lest We Forget

Sun, 31 Oct 2021 14:54:00 GMT

In a world that seems to not want God a part of their lives, He certainly wants to be part of yours & mine. After all, He died for the sin of the world. The Father gave His only begotten Son that we might be saved and reconciled back to Him. The message of Christ is the message […]

Maximize The God Image

Sun, 24 Oct 2021 13:21:00 GMT

“Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is,” Jeremiah 17:7 (KJV). Today's message is encouraging the people of God to look into their hearts to know that they are trusting in the Lord, being true to themselves, and those around them. The culture we live in today is a powerfully influencing culture that is challenging […]

God’s Expectation Revealed

Sun, 17 Oct 2021 14:57:00 GMT

The expectation of the Lord on those of us who name the name of Jesus is revealed in His revelation, the Bible. We don’t get to change what God’s expectation is for the people of God, but our responsibility is to say what God says and not give our opinion. Heaven is the government for the born-again […]

By His Grace

Sun, 10 Oct 2021 13:53:00 GMT

This week I met with CCC’s Brd. Of Dir. and CCC’s Medical Emergency Response Team to follow up on our previous meetings addressing the Covid-19 situation and the status of our ministry as it relates to when we will again look to re-open worship services. We are aware that across the U. S. that COVID-19 cases […]

Through The Eyes Of The Word

Sun, 03 Oct 2021 14:59:00 GMT

The Word of God can simplify separating good and evil if we would not allow ourselves to see everything through our experiences, but see everything through the eyes of faith. See everything through the eyes of the Word, and let the chips fall where they may. Don’t try to call out individual persons, but just see what […]

Remain In His Love And Rest In Him

Sun, 19 Sep 2021 15:04:00 GMT

I remember the story of the man in New Orleans who after being stuck on his roof after Hurricane Katrina how he had gotten down to his last can of food knowing that things were getting worse. At that moment he thought to himself that all the time he had been stranded it didn’t dawn […]

Reflecting Back On That Terrible Moment

Sun, 12 Sep 2021 14:49:00 GMT

As our nation commemorates the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center it’s a stark reminder of devious actions that others, who do not agree with what America stands for, are willing to go to in order to express their disdain. These persons were willing to sacrifice their own lives along with approx. 3,000 others […]

Come Up To The High Place

Sun, 05 Sep 2021 12:25:00 GMT

“Everything is going down but the Word of God” is a popular saying in Christendom but it’s simply implying that only what’s in God will endure. Everything else is sinking sand. Spiritually minded people are in tune with things eternal and not on the things on this earth. There’s a scripture in the book of […]

This Past Year…

Sun, 29 Aug 2021 15:05:00 GMT

This past year has been tough on so many people during the pandemic and all of the fallout from it, especially the physical suffering that has resulted from COVID-19. Of course, politics haven’t helped things at all. The fall-out from the pandemic has far-reaching tentacles, affecting the medical community, businesses, jobs, our way of life, schools, law […]

Stop And Give God Praise

Sun, 15 Aug 2021 14:52:00 GMT

You know, sometimes we get so caught up in the forefront of this spiritual battle that we need to stop and just lift our hands and tell God “Thank you!” We have much more going for us than what is going up against us. It is good to give thanks unto the Lord for He is good […]

It’s The Church’s Finest Hour

Sun, 08 Aug 2021 17:46:00 GMT

As I close out the series titled “Without a Vision,” in our Monday night Bible study I pray that every Partner of CCC knows and understands the Lord’s vision for their personal lives and give their all, spirit, soul, & body to bringing that vision to pass. To do it with enthusiasm, energy, all your might, […]

Plans To Reopen Canceled

Sun, 01 Aug 2021 15:07:00 GMT

I’ve e-blasted the following information to CCC Partners signed up on the Churches website but am sharing it in this Pastor’s Pen to reach out to as many Partners as possible and inform as to the decision to not continue with the re-opening of Sunday services as well as return to Phase 2 of CCC’s […]

Plans for Sunday Worship Opening

Sun, 25 Jul 2021 15:29:00 GMT

Sunday, Aug. 1, 2021, at 11 a.m. our first Sunday worship service is scheduled, and the second Sunday worship service is scheduled for Sunday, Aug. 22, 2021, at 11 a.m. We will not have any other worship services during the month of August other than the Bible study services. I am working closely with CCC’s Medical […]

Sunday Worship Service Plans

Sun, 18 Jul 2021 18:11:00 GMT

We’re all hearing how the COVID-19 virus infections are going back up in most states to the point of concern to many health workers. At present, I intend to continue with plans to open our Sunday worship service for those parishioners that are comfortable with returning to live services. For those who are not comfortable, or are […]

God’s Love In Action

Sun, 11 Jul 2021 14:40:00 GMT

In Mondays Bible study we talk about God’s love in action in Lk. 15:1-10 whereas the man leaves the 99 sheep to seek the one that is lost demonstrating God’s love in action. Jesus was responding to accusations by the Pharisees that Jesus associated with publicans and sinners as if that was a sin in […]

Appreciate The Gems In Our Lives

Sun, 30 May 2021 13:52:00 GMT

As I’ve gotten older I’ve learned to appreciate the gems in our lives that sometimes we can take for granted since they’re always there and have been there for some period of time. Now I stop to really take in the moments that I value and the people that I value in my life. Have you ever […]

Progress Of Preparations For Re-Opening

Sun, 11 Apr 2021 22:41:00 GMT

I want to take this opportunity to address the progress of preparations for re-opening Church services at Calvary Christian Center in this Pastor’s Pen. I have been meeting with leaders in the ministry here at CCC to discuss plans for re-opening services as well as what it would take to have our sanctuary prepared to […]

The Joy Of The Lord Is Our Strength

Sun, 21 Feb 2021 04:07:00 GMT

“Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength,” Neh. 8:10 (KJV). Nehemiah encouraged the people during a challenging […]

Honoring A General In The Body Of Christ: Dr. Frederick K. C. Price

Sun, 14 Feb 2021 17:56:00 GMT

Just a week after honoring Pastor Daniel Wilson I find myself honoring another of the generals in the body of Christ, Dr. Frederick K. C. Price. No other leader in the body of Christ has inspired my faith walk more than Dr. Price. No one taught the faith message with the passion that Dr. Price did. He and […]

The Faith Life

Sun, 31 Jan 2021 14:37:00 GMT

The faith life opens up the impossible to become possible. It’s the life of unlimited boundaries, unrestricted visions, and out-of-the-box ideas. It’s creative genius being released from the inner-most consciousness of our spirit man. It’s a spiritual faucet opened and its source is the God of creation. But the faith life is more than what we may accomplish, achieve, […]

The Practice Of Every Believer

Sun, 24 Jan 2021 13:17:00 GMT

Pastor’s Pen for Sunday, 1-24-21 We’ve already gotten a month deep into 2021 and we’re already witnessing prayers being answered. I pray this year that every partner of CCC experience a prosperous and blessed journey and for all mankind as well. Of course, we’ve just had our 21 Day Consecration and God always show Himself […]

God Truly Is Our Shepherd

Sun, 17 Jan 2021 18:29:00 GMT

Just getting home after officiating the celebration of life services for Sergeant Aaron Elisha Phillips, the grandson of Bro. Ernest and Sis. Burnell Phillips. The family of Sergeant Phillips has been devastated. Several families of Calvary Christian Center have experienced the pain of a loved one passing. Sis. Cheryl Adams experienced the hurt of the passing of her […]

Five Considerations As We Seek To Draw Nigh To God

Sun, 10 Jan 2021 13:47:00 GMT

In our 21 Day Consecration guide I listed five considerations as our ministry seeks to draw nigh unto God. The first was that we’re in spiritual warfare. Certainly, there has been an intensification of that warfare exhibited by current events. As a ministry, we must gird up for the battles to be fought. By His grace, we already have […]

Until Jesus Comes

Sun, 03 Jan 2021 14:00:00 GMT

“Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time. Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the […]

2021, Year Of Divine Providence

Mon, 28 Dec 2020 01:41:00 GMT

As we come to the close of another year we are reminded of how fragile life is throughout the pandemic. Our 21 Day Consecration will begin Jan. 1-21, 2021. During the 21 Day Consecration we will have prayer virtually via Zoom on Monday, 1-4-21; Sunday, 1-10-21; and Monday, 1-18-21 from 7:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. 2020 was the Year […]

Our Part Is To Trust His Wisdom

Sun, 20 Dec 2020 13:51:00 GMT

2020 has been a year of unforeseen events that have forced us all to revisit what we had established as normal in our country. Where we thought we had made considerable progress we lost ground. Relationships that we assumed were stable turned out to not be the case. Jobs that we thought were secure were not. A virus caused, […]

David’s Trust In His God

Sun, 13 Dec 2020 15:17:00 GMT

Today’s message finds the prophet Samuel at the father of David’s home to anoint a king over Israel in the place of king Saul who was rejected for disobeying God. But when the sons of Jesse were called they didn’t even consider David until Samuel asked if Jesse had any other sons. Samuel thought surely that Eliab […]

Kingdom Equipped for Kingdom Dominion

Sun, 06 Dec 2020 14:27:00 GMT

“Kingdom Equipped for Kingdom Dominion” is the rallying cry for the saints in 2020. God has given us, His people, all spiritual blessings through Christ who strengthens us. In Him, we live and move and have our being. It’s in Him also that we have been equipped for kingdom dominion. “For in him dwelleth all the […]

Misguided Love

Sun, 29 Nov 2020 15:44:00 GMT

If there’s a time that we need the truth of God’s Word it’s now. Love without truth is misguided love. Without the truth of God’s Word men become like the days of the judges in the Old Testament where everyone did what was right in their own eyes, Judges 21:25. Just by current events, we can see where […]

Lying Is Wrong, And Still A Sin

Sun, 22 Nov 2020 15:53:00 GMT

“Now therefore, behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, and the Lord hath spoken evil against thee,” 2 Chron. 18:22 (KJV). The prophet Micaiah (pronounced Mee-kaw) was prophesying against king Ahab, king of Israel because of his sin and rebellion against God causing the people of God to […]

Have Faith In God, Period!

Sun, 15 Nov 2020 10:15:00 GMT

“And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God,” Mk. 11:22 (KJV). What a powerful commandment from the Lord to His people then and now. Have faith in God! Have faith in God through your storm. Have faith in God on the mountain top. Have faith in God with everything in between. Have faith in God, period! This is the sign […]

When The Church Aligns With Heaven

Sun, 08 Nov 2020 15:37:00 GMT

This election cycle has revealed some very ugly things about this country, the visible Church, and about what’s truly in the hearts of the citizenship of this country. It has been revealing the past 4 years as our country has wrestled with racial tensions, justice reform, police brutality, protests over the death of African Americans at […]

A Test For Our Nation

Sun, 01 Nov 2020 15:37:00 GMT

This week is a test for our nation. The divisions are real and the stakes are high. Our nation continues to struggle with race, COVID-19, jobs, and the economy. Trust in our elected officials has eroded. Trust in our traditional institutions has eroded along with trust in the government as a whole. Even the visible […]

Jesus Preached The Kingdom

Sun, 25 Oct 2020 14:24:00 GMT

The kingdom, the kingdom, the kingdom, Jesus preached the kingdom. “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you,” Matt. 6:33 (KJV). Many of the kingdom of heaven parables start out with “The kingdom of heaven is likened unto,” and the Lord would proceed with […]

The Father Has Provided Again

Sun, 18 Oct 2020 15:22:00 GMT

Pastor’s Pen for Sunday, 10-18-20 Thank God for Jesus, His sacrifice, and for His resurrection without which there would be no salvation. The Father has provided again. That provision is real and for God’s people today, October 18, 2020, right now, present tense. You and I have no worries because Father God says that “If ye then, being evil, […]

Our Hope Is In Christ

Sun, 11 Oct 2020 13:45:00 GMT

“Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; […]

Updates Related To Reopening Services

Sun, 04 Oct 2020 14:13:00 GMT

I want to take the time to update partners on where the ministry is headed as it relates to re-opening services, the COVID-19 pandemic, and some additional things we’re doing as a result of suggestions from Board of Directors members and partners of the ministry. We’re pushing forward with preparations (and I emphasize preparations) for […]

Be Sober And Vigilant On How We Pray To God For Our Country

Sun, 27 Sep 2020 22:46:00 GMT

It’s easy to get overwhelmed with all of the chaotic events that are happening in the country. I’m reminded of the movie “The Perfect Storm” whereas a boat of fishermen was caught in a storm that caught their vessel in just the right (or wrong depending on how you look at it) circumstances which ended in […]

The Power Of Influence

Sun, 20 Sep 2020 14:04:00 GMT

As the people of God navigate this life, this generation in which we live, the influences that are constantly pushing us one way or another are ever-present. I’m convinced that influences are not given the attention it should be given because people, in general, are blinded to what it is that moves them. We assume we know […]

Always Be Mindful Of Eternity And Our Preparation For It

Sun, 13 Sep 2020 13:19:00 GMT

“Wherefore, seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy […]

Remain Strong And Stay Positive

Sun, 06 Sep 2020 12:32:00 GMT

I pray everyone’s taking care of yourselves and not allowing COVID-19 to dictate your time. I’m a reader myself therefore I’ve found more time to read up on some interesting subjects that grab my attention. I’m enjoying being able to spend more time with my wife and having those powerful conversations that we as couples need to […]

Christians Are To Advance The Kingdom Of Heaven, Not A Political Party

Sun, 30 Aug 2020 14:38:00 GMT

This past week was the example of a country that’s showing signs of serious moral decay. Of course, these things have always been there but never so prevalent and blatant in the highest offices in our land, at least not that I remember in my lifetime. As I said earlier, and I can hear many of you […]

Hate Is Destroying The Fabric Of This Nation

Sun, 23 Aug 2020 05:15:00 GMT

As I read the news and watch news stations I can’t help but notice the hate that’s being expressed by many across our nation. This especially since the explosion of social media which exposes some of the most hateful language that I’ve ever seen in my 61 years of living. I’ve been pretty athletic all […]

Fasting: A Recipe For A Deeper Relationship With God

Sun, 16 Aug 2020 11:49:00 GMT

I pray that everyone’s well and walking in the blessings. In our Bible study this Monday, 8-17-20, we’ll be covering a subject that I believe is a powerful ingredient in a recipe for a deeper and closer relationship with God, fasting. I usually couple fasting together with prayer because I can see praying without fasting but fasting […]

The Voice That Should Be The Loudest Is Muffled

Sun, 09 Aug 2020 14:32:00 GMT

I pray everyone is being safe and are healthy spirit, soul, & body. I’m sure that we’re all praying that our area and the nation will do whatever is necessary to be victorious over COVID-19 and can finally get back to some normalcy. This pandemic has brought out a lot of painful things that obviously our country […]

The Danger Of Following The Desires Of Our Flesh

Sun, 02 Aug 2020 12:00:00 GMT

In this present generation the spirit of the age is real, it’s powerful, and very influential. The advancements in technology and in practically every area has made it better for humankind but has also made it easier to access some terrible things as well. The advancements that have been made can be used for the good but […]

Using Wisdom With Relationships

Sun, 26 Jul 2020 12:38:00 GMT

Just for your information, I want to update friends and partners concerning hernia surgery I just had this past Thursday, 7-23-20. And yes, that’s on top of the surgery I had 2 weeks ago on my right arm for a pinched nerve. I’m doing fine. Both surgeries were quite successful but I am doing the Sunday message, 7-26-20, […]

Continue Praying For Our Leaders As Well As Leading The Fight

Sun, 19 Jul 2020 12:48:00 GMT

CCC, please remain diligent with fighting COVID-19. I am amazed at the total lack of the wearing of protective coverings, physical distancing and just plain common sense behavior such as the washing of hands, not congregating irresponsibly without protective coverings, etc., as I see when I am out in the public. As a people we […]

Let’s Continue To Be Diligent

Sun, 12 Jul 2020 14:05:00 GMT

Please see my Pastor’s Pen Live for Sunday, 7-12-20 to go along with this written Pastor’s Pen for more update on COVID-19. Just to update partners of CCC, obviously the Coastal Health District of Ga., which includes Bryan, Camden, Chatham, Effingham, Glynn, Liberty, & McIntosh counties have experienced increases in COVID-19 cases and deaths. Regretfully politics in […]

Decision Concerning Communion During Pandemic

Sun, 05 Jul 2020 13:41:00 GMT

I’ve e-blasted a similar message out earlier concerning the subject of which I will address now in this Pastor’s Pen. Because some of our partners do not receive the e-blasts we’re choosing to address the subject now in this communication. I’ve been asked about communion several times during this pandemic and to address the subject in order […]

The Bible Addresses The Subject Of Race

Sun, 28 Jun 2020 17:25:00 GMT

The Bible addresses the subject of race in Acts 17:26 (KJV): “And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation.” There were challenges even among the early Church when God sent Peter […]

Reflect The Will Of Heaven

Thu, 25 Jun 2020 00:07:00 GMT

In this season of uncertainty and confusion due to the COVID-19 pandemic, protests against injustices in our country, and the political climate, it’s no wonder that many people are searching for answers to why and look to the Church to provide direction, consolation, and comfort during this time only to find that the place where […]

Pastor’s Pen 6/14/20

Sun, 14 Jun 2020 09:49:00 GMT

We continue to monitor information coming from the CDC (Center for Disease Control & Prevention), Ga. Dept. of Public Health, Coastal Health District, as well as the City of Brunswick and the Camden Emergency Management Agency in order that we make an informed decision as it relates to the re-opening of worship services at Calvary […]

Without Him We Are Nothing

Sun, 07 Jun 2020 18:02:00 GMT

In the message for today, Sunday, June 7, 2020 I am addressing what Jesus did to confront the ills in, not only the time that He walked the earth, but from Genesis to Revelation, it was the same. He addressed the root cause first, sin and man’s rebellion against God, restoring his relationship with his […]

Phases In The Restoration Of Worship Services

Sun, 31 May 2020 18:14:00 GMT

Board of Directors and I met on Tuesday, 5-26-20 via Zoom to discuss plans for returning worship services at Calvary Christian Center. I proposed to the Board that we should move forward in phases in the restoration of worship services. Those phases and the speed in which we move from one phase to the next […]

Let’s Agree In Prayer

Sun, 24 May 2020 16:27:00 GMT

This Memorial Day weekend I would like for CCC partners to agree with me in prayer for our communities and our nation. I will be posting a Memorial Day prayer video and invite all of the partners of CCC to set aside some time this Memorial Day to agree with me in prayer concerning events […]

Keep God In The Equation

Sun, 17 May 2020 12:33:00 GMT

The past 2 weeks have been filled with rallies and meetings surrounding the Ahmaud Arbery incident and there are many voices coming into the Golden Isles most of which are good. Then there are some that are questionable and you have to wonder what are their motivation? This is where the people of God must […]

If God’s People…

Sun, 10 May 2020 16:31:00 GMT

Since the beginning of 2020, this nation has been shaken by a pandemic caused by COVID-19, a virus that has contributed to the deaths of many around the world. Then, in February of this year, the senseless murder of Ahmaud Arbery shook our nation again only after the horrific video of his murder by three […]

God Will Keep His People

Sun, 03 May 2020 15:48:00 GMT

I pray all of the partners and friends of Calvary Christian Center are doing well and walking in the blessings. My Bible declares that Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever, Heb. 13:8 (KJV). He’s the same miracle worker today as He was during His earthly pilgrimage. That lets me know that what […]

If We Miss God

Sun, 26 Apr 2020 06:07:00 GMT

As you all know Governor Kemp has re-open select businesses in Ga., including Churches. This among the increasing of COVID-19 cases presently not subsiding or has not flattened in our state. Medical experts and professionals are warning against opening our businesses too soon as well as the possibility of this virus making a second return […]

Letting Your Light Shine

Sun, 19 Apr 2020 22:23:00 GMT

Through all of the disruptions, changes, and inconveniences of the past several weeks I commend the partners of CCC for your unwavering resolve and commitment to God and the ministry. You have been solid in your support and I am convinced solid support by way of your prayers for myself, First Lady, the leadership, partners, […]

The Lord Is My Shepherd

Sun, 12 Apr 2020 13:41:00 GMT

“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will […]

Prayer Changes Things

Sun, 05 Apr 2020 13:54:00 GMT

Well praise the Lord saints of God. My prayer today for you is that every partner and friend of Calvary Christian Center is walking in the blessings of God and His divine favor. Prayer changes things and there is power in prayer. Prayer can do whatever God says it can do and that is much. […]

Ministry Update in the wake of the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic

Sun, 29 Mar 2020 17:16:00 GMT

I want to update everyone on what our ministry is doing in the wake of the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic that has turned our world upside down yet requiring wisdom on our part on how we conduct ourselves as we respond to it. As I mentioned in a previous newsletter all of our engagements are subject […]

Doing Our Part In The Spiritual

Sun, 22 Mar 2020 19:46:00 GMT

The Board of Directors and I met on this past Thursday, March 19, 2020 to plan for how Calvary Christian Center will handle the situation going forward concerning the COVID-19 (Corona Virus). As every partner, by now already know, we have cancelled all services until further notice to protect our partners and obey the guidelines […]

Faith Is The Way Of The Kingdom

Sun, 15 Mar 2020 21:11:00 GMT

The Battle Between Light And Darkness

Sun, 01 Mar 2020 15:15:00 GMT

As we emphasize the kingdom of God and the Christian’s understanding of that kingdom we dare not lose sight that there’s another kingdom as well, the kingdom of darkness, the kingdom of Satan. The kingdom of light will always trump the kingdom of darkness. Satan’s kingdom is real and active against the kingdom of light. […]

A Kingdom Of Order

Sun, 23 Feb 2020 15:31:00 GMT

The kingdom of Heaven is definitely a kingdom of order though God allows the freewill of man within that order. Even those things that are allowed fit into a definite order in the kingdom of God, for instance we read in Rev. 17:17 (KJV): “For God hath put in their hearts to fulfill his will, […]

Where Is The Hunger For Souls?

Sun, 16 Feb 2020 15:36:00 GMT

The kingdom of God calls all to it’s shores and invites all to come and partake of the eternal blessings for them that believe. The kingdom of God calls all men to salvation but it is only to those who will believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and His resurrection. It’s not His will that […]

Understanding The Kingdom

Sun, 09 Feb 2020 15:42:00 GMT

Kingdom, though a word used often in the Bible, is not a popular word in a democracy or a republic. Because of how our democracy, or republic, is structured, we do not understand kingdom concepts as well. If we are to understand the kingdom of God then we will have to adjust our thinking from […]

The Groud Of The Heart

Sun, 02 Feb 2020 15:49:00 GMT

Jesus used parables to reveal the kingdom of heaven to those who’s hearts were ready to receive it, but the parables also cloaked the kingdom from those who’s hearts were far from God. The parables encouraged watchfulness, faithfulness, stewardship, commitment, etc., as well as revelation of the kingdom. As the parable of the sower reveals […]

An Everlasting Kingdom

Sun, 19 Jan 2020 12:00:00 GMT

What is the message of the kingdom? The kingdom is the message of the kingdom. Yes, Jesus preached you must be born again. Yes, Jesus preached salvation. But then what? Once a person receives Christ, then what? The what is the kingdom of God. Jesus taught the kingdom. That kingdom is two-fold. First, the kingdom […]

God Gave Dominion Over The Earth To Man

Sun, 12 Jan 2020 19:40:00 GMT

God’s will for man, according to the book of beginnings, Gen. 1:26-28, was then and is now, that man tread down, subjugate, crumble off, come to have dominion, make to have dominion, prevail against, reign, bear, make to rule, rule over, and take dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds in the air, […]

The Year Of Kingdom Dominion

Sun, 05 Jan 2020 19:37:00 GMT

“2020, The Year of Kingdom Dominion.” “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the […]

Man Needs A Savior

Sun, 29 Dec 2019 19:34:00 GMT

“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God,” Rom. 3:23 (KJV). Man needs a savior. Rom. 3:23 and the entire Bible teaches us that man needs a savior. The people who do not admit their need for a savior will never seek for one. None of us are perfect and never […]

The Agape Love Of God

Sun, 22 Dec 2019 19:27:00 GMT

Jesus Is The Only Way

Sun, 15 Dec 2019 19:22:00 GMT

As we prepare to move into another chapter of our lives, what priority will God have in that chapter and how will we fit into His will and plans for the next chapter of our lives and not go about doing things our way. The road of life is scattered with the casualties of those […]

The Season Of Reminiscing Over His Love And Sacrifice

Mon, 09 Dec 2019 04:09:00 GMT

We continue the thanksgiving celebration into the Christmas season thanking God for stepping out of eternity into time and answering the call of salvation through His Son, our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ, the light of the world, our Redeemer, and our righteousness, shed His blood on the cross that men might be […]

Unfinished Business

Sun, 01 Dec 2019 18:54:00 GMT

Here we are in the final days of 2019. It seems like the older you get the faster the years go by. But I’m not complaining. I’m thankful for every day Father God blesses me to see and in this year of faith there’s much that the Lord will do in 31 days. He created […]

Much To Be Thankful For

Sun, 24 Nov 2019 18:38:00 GMT

As we enter this Thanksgiving season we have much to be thankful for. In spite of all the political turmoil presently happening in our nation it’s still the greatest nation on this planet. And in spite of the cultural climate and changes away from God the United States of America is still the most free […]

Trusting in the Lord, The Believer’s Cornerstone of Faith

Sun, 17 Nov 2019 16:01:00 GMT

Trusting in the Lord for the Believer is the cornerstone of our faith. It’s more than a superficial, skin deep trust that’s not just strong on the mountaintop but also strong in the valleys of our faith walk. Even when we are going through turbulent times, even when shaken in our faith, even when we […]

God’s Word Must Be The Priority

Sun, 10 Nov 2019 12:19:00 GMT

The Word of God is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path but only to them that believe the Word. Yet God’s Word is not a priority in the lives of many. Then there are others who can quote scriptures fluently but their actions betray what they say they believe. In […]

Wisdom Is The Principle Thing

Mon, 04 Nov 2019 01:59:00 GMT

“Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding,” Pr. 4:7 (KJV). Here lies a big obstacle to many between their walking in the fullness that God have for them and missing out on the blessings of God. Solomon, in this verse encourages to get wisdom. Wisdom is how […]

Our Season

Sun, 27 Oct 2019 10:29:00 GMT

It’s our season, our time, our year, and our turn to walk in the fullness of what God has for His people. It’s time that the Church of Jesus Christ walk in the blessings of God that He shed His blood on the cross for us to have. We are a blessed people. A chosen […]

Life’s Experiences

Sun, 20 Oct 2019 11:14:00 GMT

Life is full of great experiences, some not so great experiences, and some experiences that we would rather not talk about. There are mountain top experiences and there are valley experiences. We will have tests and trials of which may have lifechanging affects. There are many challenges that we will experience in this life, some […]

The Lord Is Our Strength

Sun, 13 Oct 2019 11:13:00 GMT

“The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him,” Ps. 28:7 (KJV). The Lord truly is the strength of the Christian who trusts in the God of their salvation. We can certainly be confident […]

No Time To Faint

Sun, 06 Oct 2019 16:11:00 GMT

I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who put their hands to the plow for CCC’s 132nd. Church anniversary on last Sunday. As always our guests were pleasantly surprised at the excellence and integrity of the entire service. My thanks also to Pastor Carl Brown and the Mt. Olive Baptist Church family. Pastor […]

The Central Message

Sun, 22 Sep 2019 11:08:00 GMT

What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus; What can make me whole again? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Oh! Precious is the flow That makes me white as snow; No other fount I know, Nothing but the blood of Jesus. This and other great hymns such as “Amazing Grace” […]

Thank You Lord

Sun, 08 Sep 2019 11:05:00 GMT

“Thank you Lord” is all that I can say after Hurricane Dorian. A week ago today we were in prayer that God would watch over us and protect our area and He answered prayer. Compared to the Bahamas we dare not complain. There were people praying in the Bahamas as well, and yet they received […]

Let Us Keep The Vision Alive

Sun, 25 Aug 2019 10:08:00 GMT

Approx. 17 yrs. ago the leadership of this ministry asked me to consider accepting the role of Pastor since the former Pastor, Rev. Enoch Lee had went on to be with the Lord. I met with the leadership and the congregation of this Church over a period of time. Afterward I accepted the invitation. Shortly […]

The Importance of Family

Sun, 11 Aug 2019 21:53:00 GMT

Again, First Lady and I would like to thank everyone who sowed into our lives. My son Joshua, along with his sister Rhonda, and their Mother, First Lady Sandra A. Muchison invited many of my family to help celebrate my 60th. Birthday and it really hit home with me the importance of family. I say […]

What We Do for Others, God Will Do for Us

Sun, 28 Jul 2019 21:41:00 GMT

Many people are hurting and challenged with the uncertainties of life and come to the Church for help and for answers. We, as the representatives of Heaven, must be ever so sensitive to those around us and those close to us since we don’t know what our neighbor may be going through. The Holy Spirit […]

The Just Shall Live By Faith

Sun, 07 Jul 2019 21:30:00 GMT

“As it is written, I have made you the father of many nations. [He was appointed our father] in the sight of God in Whom he believed, Who gives life to the dead and speaks of the nonexistent things that [He has foretold and promised] as if they [already] existed. [For Abraham, human reason for] […]

Essential to the Purpose & Destiny of the Believer

Sun, 30 Jun 2019 21:29:00 GMT

Faith, vision, & passion is essential to the purpose & destiny of the Believer being realized in the earth. But don’t be deceived into thinking that our enemy, that old serpent the devil, is not close by to destroy God’s plan for your life. Saints of God, I encourage you to study eschatology (end time […]

Christianity: A Personal Relationship With Christ

Sun, 23 Jun 2019 18:59:00 GMT

“Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart a person believes (adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Christ) and so […]

Fathers and the Blessing of Fatherhood

Sun, 16 Jun 2019 11:12:00 GMT

Today we celebrate fathers and the blessing of fatherhood. I personally celebrate all of our dads and my prayer today for the men of God who have families is that God continues to shine upon you with strength, wisdom, guidance, and agape love for you and yours. You’ve been there for your spouses and your […]

Understand The Devices of Our Enemy

Mon, 10 Jun 2019 00:01:00 GMT

In the U. S. Army, my MOS was 16P Chaparral Crewman which was air defense artillery. I was trained to defend this country against any air threat. But in order to do that we had to be able to recognize the difference between friendly aircraft and enemy aircraft or else we could end […]

Believers Must Be Strong

Sun, 02 Jun 2019 10:03:00 GMT

In last Sunday’s Pastor’s Pen, I came out of Deuteronomy 8 because this chapter is the chapter God gave me in forming the Vision He gave for Calvary Christian Center. It is fitting for the times we live in as well as for the message God has given me to encourage His people […]

Keep The Commandments of The Lord Your God

Sun, 26 May 2019 10:08:00 GMT

So you shall keep the commandments of the Lord your God, to walk in His ways and [reverently] fear Him. For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, flowing forth in valleys and hills; A land of wheat and […]

Seek Ye First

Sun, 19 May 2019 11:00:00 GMT

In order to fight the good fight of faith, you’ve got to use the spiritual weapons revealed in God’s Word. Where many Christians make a huge mistake is ignoring God’s Word and not giving the Word of God the priority it should have in their lives. “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and […]

Thank You Mom

Sun, 12 May 2019 11:00:00 GMT

Happy Mother’s Day to all our Mothers today. We love you with all of our heart and appreciate you beyond this 1 day but 365 days a year you are loved. “Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies. Strength and honor are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in […]

Don’t Be Deceived

Sun, 05 May 2019 23:00:00 GMT

Don’t be deceived by Satan and his demonic influence in these last days even if it means standing alone. The great falling away has already begun and a sure sign that you are getting caught up in the snowball effect in this age is a lack of spiritual hunger for the things of God, no […]

Where Is God in The Hearts and Minds of Men

Sun, 28 Apr 2019 15:22:00 GMT

“And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. Likewise also as […]

Remain Focused

Sun, 21 Apr 2019 15:15:00 GMT

Dear saints of the Most High, please take very seriously this Pastor’s Pen. I am alarmed at the total disregard for the Word of God concerning the climate in these end times preceding Christ’s 2nd. coming back to this earth to set up His kingdom forever. The Bible is clear in warning of the spirit […]

The Gift Of Tongues

Sun, 31 Mar 2019 15:08:00 GMT

“And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance,” Acts 2:4 (KJV). The gift of tongues is a powerful weapon in our spiritual arsenal but primarily the gift is a devotional gift for our private worship unto the Lord in prayer, praise, […]

He Will Be Found of Those That Seek After Him

Sun, 24 Mar 2019 15:01:00 GMT

“Blessed and fortunate and happy and spiritually prosperous (in that state in which the born-again child of God enjoys His favor and salvation) are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God), for they shall be completely satisfied,” Matt. 5:6 (Amplified Bible). When men have a strong desire after the […]

Where Our Help Comes From

Sun, 17 Mar 2019 11:00:00 GMT

Champions are usually known for their strength and courage. We’re captivated by those who display exemplary character and charisma. No wonder that our superheroes are men and women of strength and power. Heroes that help the less fortunate and protect the weak from those stronger and more powerful than they who would take advantage of […]

Have Faith & Trust In Him

Sun, 10 Mar 2019 11:00:00 GMT

The Word of God will not return void but it will accomplish what pleases Him and prosper unto the thing that He desires though circumstances seem otherwise. Heb. 11 proves that contrary circumstances do not change the truth of God’s Word. Cain killed Abel yet God saw a more excellent spirit in Abel and he […]

Strong Faith

Sun, 03 Mar 2019 12:00:00 GMT

“As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations, before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was […]

Know HIS Voice

Sun, 24 Feb 2019 12:00:00 GMT

Be encouraged saints of God in these trying times. The Lord our God is with us wherever we go. The days are at hand which have been prophesied from of old. Yet He is in control. His people continue in the blessings of God to this day, if we believe. Though all around us is […]

To Know the Natural and Spirit Realms, We Must Study Them Both Diligently

Sun, 17 Feb 2019 12:00:00 GMT

In our Bible study, we have been teaching on the subject “Fight The Good Fight” with emphasis on the spirit realm and understanding what the Word of God reveals about a realm not perceived by the five senses. God, the Holy Spirit, and angels are real not to mention that Satan, devils, and demons are […]

Genuine Faith in God’s Word Produces Victory

Sun, 10 Feb 2019 12:00:00 GMT

God is faithful to His Word. The Word is the Believer’s lifeline. Anyone who loves the Lord can testify concerning what God’s Word means to them. How often we have found ourselves in battles where we struggled to understand how we got ourselves in the mess we found ourselves in. Then His Word is the […]

Be Confident In Your God

Sun, 03 Feb 2019 12:56:00 GMT

Be encouraged saints of God in your faith. Be confident, bold, and resolved in your faith walk. Be confident in your God. Be confident in yourself and be confident in one another, knowing that our Redeemer lives. Have faith in God and the God kind of faith. Believe in who He says you are and […]

Quality Time In His Presence

Sun, 20 Jan 2019 12:00:00 GMT

Several parishioners of CCC have shared with me of their experiences in the Presence of the Lord during our 21 Day Consecration. The Lord grant the answers to every prayer prayed during the Consecration. In the face of all that we’re seeing in our generation we need prayer now and after the 21 Day Consecration. […]

Let Us Go Up, And Possess The Land

Sun, 13 Jan 2019 12:00:00 GMT

God has given us the land. Go in and possess the land. Those were the rallying cries for the nation of Israel after God brought them out of Egyptian bondage. God gave them the promise that His angel would go before them and drive out their enemies. All Israel had to do was obey Him. […]

The Year of Faith

Sun, 06 Jan 2019 11:01:00 GMT

2019 is “The Year of Faith!” “As it is written, I have made you the father of many nations, [He was appointed our father] in the sight of God in Whom he believed, Who gives life to the dead and speaks of the nonexistent things that [He has foretold and promised] as if they [already] […]

The Year of Faith

Sun, 30 Dec 2018 12:00:00 GMT

In 2018 we witnessed the Year of Restoration as God had given me. 2018 was for me a year of restoration in my personal life as well as in my family. In the ministry I watched God restore in several areas of the ministry as it relates to the property and building of CCC. God […]

The Message During This Season

Sun, 23 Dec 2018 06:59:00 GMT

Jesus sacrificed His life paying the ultimate price to take away the sin of the world. His expiatory death satisfied God’s justice providing a way out of no way for the redemption of man. Men have been blinded by Satan to his spiritual predicament even though we’ve been blessed with the abundance of revelation. No […]

God Is In Control

Sun, 16 Dec 2018 16:31:00 GMT

Sun, 05 Aug 2018 10:00:00 GMT

Sun, 08 Apr 2018 20:07:00 GMT

In these end times , it’s imperative that we as the people of God remain confident in our God that He will do what He said He would. Not only should we remain confident in Him but in each other as well. One of the purposes of meeting together as Christians is to encourage one another. “Not forsaking or neglecting to assemble together [as believers], as is the habit of some people, but admonishing (warning, urging, and encouraging) one another, and all the more faithfully as you see the day approaching,” Heb. 10:25 (AMPLIFIED BIBLE). One of the purposes of the local Church is for the encouragement of the Believer according to 1 Cor. 14:3 (AMPLIFIED BIBLE): “But [on the other hand], the one who prophecies [who interprets the divine will and purpose in inspired preaching and teaching] speaks to men for their upbuilding and constructive spiritual progress and encouraging and consolation.” That encouragement is a natural consequence of faith in God and His Word. That encouragement also comes from personal relationships with those of like faith. Iron sharpens iron. We encourage and sharpen each other with words of faith building confidence. We’re encouraged to hold fast to our confidence because it carries a great and glorious compensation of reward, Heb. 10:35. We are living in the last days and are reminded practically on a daily basis of it. The last thing a Christian wants to do is lose their hope and confidence. Speaking with an acquaintance recently, they confessed to me that they had just lost everything. They had lost their home, their relationship with their spouse and children was on shaky ground, they were living with their mother, had lost their job, and one of their children were in jail. They felt like they had no friend and all was lost. I informed them that that was not true and that God loved them and that they had a friend in Jesus and they had a friend in me. Never lose your hope and confidence in God. Keep the Vision Alive!

As we celebrate the 130 ^th . Yr. anniversary of Calvary Christian Center today I am reminded of the horrific storms that Harvey and Irma were and both of these storms occurring in the same year, that wrecked havoc on the gulf coast and along the east coast of the U.S. In 130 yrs. I’m sure that there have been many storms weathered along the way as well as there will be many storms to face in the future. But storms are a part of life and it’s in the midst of storms that we are molded into the men and women of Christian character as long as we depend on Him during the storm. One thing is for sure if you’re still breathing and in your right mind you ought not have any problem lifting up your hands and telling God thank you. Many living in the Caribbean Islands, Key West, Puerto Rico and other vulnerable areas, really took a hit, therefore, we are blessed if all we experienced was a little inconvenience of an electrical power outage, having to evacuate, and throw away some food. Those things are important, but the most important thing is you, your safety and the safety of your loved ones. As we celebrate 130 yrs. of ministry we should see it as 130 yrs. of equipping individuals, as well as families, for the real-life challenges where we live every day. We serve a real-life God with real-life answers to real-life problems. The Word of God has made the difference in the lives of the many parishioners who have passed through the doors of Calvary Christian Center and moving forward the Word of God will keep all that obey it and walk by faith and not by sight. The Word kept us through Irma and though many evacuated we returned home safely yet I would solicit the prayers of the saints on behalf of the Williams family. We know God is with Sis. Sheila Williams, Dea. Ed Williams Jr. and family as they fight one of, if not the greatest storm they’ve had to face in recent years. God’s Presence and keeping power be upon Sis. Sheila Williams in Jesus name, Amen.

In His Service,

Pastor Jeffery A. Muchison

God Moments

Fri, 22 Sep 2017 12:41:00 GMT

A co-worker shared with me what I call a “God moment.” He said that while going about his normal day the Holy Spirit quickened in his spirit 2 words, righteousness and sin consciousness. He went on to describe how he began to research those words and ended up online reading from a Christian author concerning these 2 subjects. I could hardly wait until he finished so that I could share with him that our last Bible study was on the exact same 2 subjects, righteousness and sin consciousness. We experienced another God moment. High fives were in order. A God moment is when the Lord uses a person, circumstance, situation, etc., to bring our attention to His divine providence, His love for us, and the conveying of these to our enlightenment. Even in what we may consider small things, God is present and involved with His elect. I have grown to be more aware of these God moments. It might be in the reading of scripture that speaks so amazingly to exactly what my spirit needs at that moment. It may be a gentle nudge by the Holy Spirit to take another route different from my normal route home and run into a loved one that I hadn’t seen in years and find that they’re in need of help. Maybe that blessing that came in the mail at a time when you really needed it. Don’t ignore the God moments in your life for they are the little assurances along the journey to remind us that God is with us. Have an awesome God moment today.

In His Service,
Pastor Jeffery A. Muchison

Respect for Authority

Fri, 22 Sep 2017 12:29:00 GMT

One of the most tragic observations that have caught my attention over the past let’s say 20 years has been the deterioration of the respect for authority. I read a story in the local newspaper where a female officer was disciplining some teenage girls and the girls jumped the officer and if it had not been for a bystander helping her she would have been overwhelmed by the teenagers. I know that some of this is disrespect for authority is brought on because of the way that some in authority carry on. One incident I witnessed personally whereas a mother publicly used some of the most vulgar language I’ve ever heard as she angrily unleashed on her wayward son. I thought to myself how can she expect her son to respect her after that public humiliation. Some take the principle of authority lightly but I see it as one of the biggest tricks of the devil whether it’s disrespecting authority or one in authority not taking their responsibilities seriously. It’s a slow suicide for any people and directly linked to the behaviors that eventually destroy the fabric that holds a nation together. For if this disrespect reaches the highest level of authority which is Almighty God Himself then there is no basis for right or wrong, no foundation to stand upon but a return to the days of the Judges. “In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes,” Judges 21:25 (KJV).
