The days are upon us spoken of in the Bible when many will depart from the faith . Before someone can depart from something, they have to have been a part of something first, therefore those departing from the faith have had to been part of the faith before. Either this scripture speaks to mankind as a whole, or to the individual, or to both. I happen to believe that it’s speaking to both. Now, scripture such as 2 Tim. 3:5 should make all of us sit up straight and pay attention. For [although] they hold a form of piety (true religion), they deny and reject and are strangers to the power of it [their conduct belies the genuineness of their profession]. Avoid [all] such people [turn away from them],” 2 Tim. 3: 5 (Amplified Bible). Men will have a form of godliness, but they don’t allow the power of the Word, and the Holy Spirit, to change their character. As powerful as the Word and the Holy Spirit is, they cannot change the heart filled with doubt and unbelief, resulting in one devoid of spiritual life, but drying up spiritually and falling away from God. Mark 6:1–6 (KJV): And he went out from thence, and came into his own country; and his disciples follow him. 2 And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands ? 3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him. 4 But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house. 5 And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. 6 And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching. In these last days it will be even worse, since not only will men depart from the faith, but they will also believe a lie. Come Lord Jesus.  In His Service, Pastor Jeffery A. Muchison Scripture for Sunday, 10-25-26 2 Thessalonians 2:11–12 (KJV) 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

The Word of God reveals His salvation plan for all them that will believe, and accept His conditions that if a man shall confess with his mouth the Lord Jesus Christ and believe in his heart that God raised Him from the dead, shall be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Salvation for the total man, 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. In order that we maximize our potential in the earth we must understand the principles that govern the spiritual and natural realms. Once we learn these principles and practice them, we will receive the blessing. God’s will is that we walk in our covenant rights that Jesus so willingly gave His life, enduring the cross, despising the shame, that you and I might be free. Isaiah 53:4–5 (KJV): 4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, And carried our sorrows: Yet we did esteem him stricken, Smitten of God, and afflicted. 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: The chastisement of our peace was upon him; And with his stripes we are healed. It is the will of God that we walk in the blessings, spirit, soul, and body, or He would have told us different. I choose to believe whatsoever God says. Whatever He says I can have, I can have it. Wherever He says I can go, then I can go. Whatever God says I can do, I can do, and whatever God says I can be, then I can be. Jesus said that not one jot or tittle of His Word will fail. That means not the smallest part of God’s Word will fail. Everything is failing, but the Word of God. Our responsibility is to receive the blessing that God may be glorified. He is glorified when men see our good works. Let our lives glorify He who deserves all of the praise, and all of the glory, and all of the honor, in Jesus name.  In His Service, Pastor Jeffery A. Muchison Scripture for Sunday, 10-18-26 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.

In our series in the Sunday worship service titled, “I’m in the Fight of my Life,” and in our series in the Bible study titled, “In the Spirit of your Mind,” the conclusion of the whole matter is that it’s our faith in God’s Word that transforms us into the image of His Son, our Lord & Savior Jesus, Romans 8:29 (KJV): 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. In the image and the likeness of God is the born again, re-created spirit, the new creature, the new man, the candle of the Lord, the inner man who has accepted the conditions of God in Romans 10:9–10 (KJV): 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. The divine nature in us in the person of the Holy Spirit produces the fruit of love, 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. That’s what the Holy Spirit’s indwelling presence in the inner man manifests, love. Romans 5:5 (KJV): 5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. The most powerful principle on this earth is the love of God. Everything that God the Father does is out of a motivation of love. His love towards men moved Him to give His only begotten Son to suffer under Pontius Pilate and give His life a ransom that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. A love that is translated into the inner man of them that believe, that we too should horizontally transfer that love to all people, but especially to those of the household of faith, Galatians 6:10 (KJV): 10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. In His Service, Pastor Jeffery A. Muchison Scripture for Sunday, 10-11-26 Romans 14:17 (KJV) 17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

God knows all things, and all things God knows, whether they be good or evil, right or wrong, light or darkness, nothing catches God by surprise. He already went ahead of us and equipped us with everything that we need in this life that we would need to be victorious. I certainly cannot explain all that I see or experience in this life, but one thing that I have done, I’ve put all my trust in the one who knows all things and have faith that He will do what He says He will. Regardless of what I understand or don’t understand, I am in the same mindset of Job in Job 13:15 (KJV): 15 Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: But I will maintain mine own ways before him. Also in Proverbs 3:5–6 (KJV): 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. The Holy Spirit will help us through these trying times and through these times of hurt and pain. That’s what the Holy Spirit does. The Bible reads in Jn. 14:16, 17 (Amplified Bible): -16- And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever - -17- The Spirit of Truth, Whom the world cannot receive (welcome, take to its heart), because it does not see Him or know and recognize Him. But you know and recognize Him, for He lives with you [constantly] and will be in you. Thank God for His indwelling presence which is a very present help in the time of need. In His presence is the fullness of joy. There is a refreshing that comes from the presence of the Lord. He is a river inside of the Believer, 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.) In His Service, Pastor Jeffery A. Muchison Scripture for Sunday, 10-4-26 John 4:14 (KJV) 14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. Announcements for Sunday, 10-4-26 1. CCC will have Bible study every Monday night at 7:30 p.m. unless otherwise announced. 2.

The power of the Holy Spirit and His indwelling presence is no doubt the Christian’s key to victory over the influence of the flesh. Faith in God’s Word reveals how the ministry of the Holy Spirit gives us power over this flesh, Romans 8:13 (KJV): 13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. Galatians 5:16 (KJV): 16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. Galatians 5:24–26 (KJV): 24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. As I have been ministering in our Sunday services, as well as now in the Bible study, God is in the business of change from the inside out as it relates to those who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit. Through faith, which is how we receive everything that we receive from God according to His Word, we have access to God’s grace. His grace is sufficient for us because grace is everything that we need. God’s great salvation is the all-inclusive word for all of the gospel benefits in Christ, our covenant rights, the children’s bread, and whatever we need in this life. There is no excuse for us living in defeat, or in surrender to this flesh, the enemy, or whatever it may be that is contrary to the will of God. We live so beneath our privilege when Jesus paid it all that we might have life and have it more abundantly, the above, and the over, the super-added, the superior, and the advantageous life. Jesus already defeated the devil, death, hell, and the grave, sin, and it’s twins sickness and poverty, if we would believe. All things are possible to them that believe. I believe the Word. I believe in the power of God, and that He have given us power over all of the power of the enemy, and certainly He have given us power over the flesh.  In His Service, Pastor Jeffery A. Muchison Scripture for Sunday, 9-27-26 Romans 10:9–10 (KJV) 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.

The Holy Spirit empowers the people of God for spiritual warfare beginning with the battle within, the battle between the Believer’s recreated human spirit and his flesh. As we yield to the Holy Spirit, He empowers the human spirit with abilities that only He can, that we may be victorious in this inner battle we fight. This inner battle is revealed throughout scripture, Mark 7:21–23 (KJV): 21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, 22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: 23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man. Romans 8:5–6 (KJV): 5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 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. It’s by the Holy Spirit, and faith in God’s Word by which we are victorious over this flesh, Romans 8:13 (KJV): 13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 1 John 5:4 (KJV): 4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Thank God for the Holy Spirit, the Word of God, and faith in His Word. Jesus gave His life that we might have life and have it more abundantly. 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.  In His Service, Pastor Jeffery A. Muchison Scripture for Sunday, 9-20-26 Jeremiah 31:33 (KJV) 33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, And write it in their hearts; And will be their God, And they shall be my people.

The Bible reveals that all scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be thoroughly furnished unto all good works. If we believe that this is true, then we must believe that God inspired the Bible. One translation says that it was “God breathed.” In other words, the Bible is God’s Word to trust for teaching the truth concerning His will, plans, and purposes for our lives. There are many in this generation who disregard the Bible. They don’t believe in God, at least not to the point that they would confess with their mouths and believe in their hearts that they would be saved. They think that the Bible is out of date with the times and is old fashioned. It’s out of touch with the times that we live in and does not speak to this contemporary generation. What they don’t understand, and many others don’t either, is that if God inspired the Word of God and He’s omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscient, then He’s already where we’re going, is still where we’ve been, and is present with us right now, because He’s not in time, but in eternity. God already knew what would happen before it happened. He already knew us before we were ever born, and He already knew who would be where and what they would be doing. His Word is for every generation regardless of how much we’ve advanced in technology, or how much knowledge we have accumulated, nor how much we have advanced intellectually, God already knew these things and revealed it long before it happened, 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. The Bible is a moral revelation revealing the consequences of sin and God’s answer to remedy it. When men ignore it, the end result is immorality as revealed by end time scriptures. In His Service, Pastor Jeffery A. Muchison Scripture for Sunday, 9-13-26 Luke 17:29 (KJV) 29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

Many are the challenges of this generation, but the key to victory in this life is to ensure that before we fix the world, we need to start with the man first, or ourselves first. Before I can advise others, I need to make sure that I’m whole, and then I may be able to help another. We limit our potential when we allow others to dictate to us who we are, what we can accomplish, what we become, or anything else that does not align with the plans and purposes of God for our own personal lives. We’ve got to guard our hearts against wrong assumptions, lies, distortions, untruths, half-truths, etc. We live beneath our covenant rights when we see ourselves as grasshoppers in our own eyes. We’ve got to stop this foolishness, this poisoning of the mind by the enemy, and see ourselves as the conquerors that we are in Christ Jesus. We become prisoners of our own mindsets when we accept those things that are contrary to the will of God. I refuse to allow the lies of the enemy to take up residence in my spirit. Only that which is strictly in alignment with scripture will I dwell on as the Word reveals in Joshua 1:8 (KJV): 8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Meditate day and night on what God says about me, not what somebody who hates my guts says about me. Lord help us. It’s about time we stop being so naïve about the reality that there are those who don’t have our best interest at heart and call it out for what it is. We fight an inward battle as revealed throughout scripture. That’s why the Word tells us to fight the good fight of faith. Faith is within, therefore when we get ourselves together on the inside, everything else will fall in place.  In His Service, Pastor Jeffery A. Muchison Scripture for Sunday, 9-6-26 Matthew 12:35 (KJV) 35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

Life is full of paths that lead to different outcomes, surprises, some good and some bad, disappointments, successes, love, hate, life and death. We may not be able to provide answers to all that we do not understand, but we can learn from each experience and make better decisions in the future. Our present dilemma can change from one situation to another without checking with us, and without notice, so that those who are less fortunate today can be on top tomorrow. We should always remember that life can be volatile and unpredictable. There are some things we can be sure about, then there are other things that we pray about and put in the Master’s hands. With God and the eternal, these things become less of a concern. I’m not encouraging that the former should be ignored, but just that priority be placed on the eternal and the word of faith balances between the two that we may live the fullest in the natural and the spiritual. In order that we do that though, we must have faith. Romans 10:8–11 (KJV): 8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 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. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. If we confess with our mouths and believe in our hearts the word of faith, then we are blessed in this life.  In His Service, Pastor Jeffery A. Muchison Scripture for Sunday, 8-30-26 2 Timothy 3:15 (KJV) 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.
