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. The Holy Spirit is our Guide. He is one with the Father and the Son and He glorifies the Son. He reveals the future.  In His Service, Pastor Jeffery A.

In the time of trouble and disappointment we’ve got to remember that we have God’s Spirit in us and the Holy Spirit will help us in the time of trouble. He’s a very present help in the time of need. Let the Spirit of God minister unto you during these times. Personally, I have to make time, set aside space, for the distinct purpose of listening to God. He never fails me. Whenever I call on Him, He’s there. I’ve never been disappointed or concerned that when I need my God, He’s not available. His presence is tangible, and His love is unconditional and everlasting. I can lean and depend on Him. I talk to the Holy Spirit and He talks back to me. I’m always aware of His presence. I reverence Him and respect Him and He always represents the Father and the Son. He’s God, the Holy Spirit, the third person of the trinity. The Word of God reveals to us His ministry in the earth. He leads us, guides us, is our Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor, Strengthener, Helper, Counselor, and Standby. The Holy Spirit is essential to our salvation, Titus 3:4–7 (KJV): 4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, 5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; 6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; 7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. He’s my prayer partner, my friend, in whom I have fellowship, communion with, and relationship with, that is my desire to have with Him every second of the day, 24-7’s, 365 days a year. He’s my life, my joy, peace, and the lifter of my head. He reminds me of who I am in Christ, brings things back to my remembrance, and helps me to discern spiritual things. I trust in Him. Over the years of my Christian experience, if there’s one thing that I have come to appreciate, it’s my relationship with the One who is with us in this earth presently, the Holy Spirit. Thank you, Father, for your Holy Spirit. In His Service, Pastor Jeffery A. Muchison Scripture for Sunday, 11-9-25 Acts 11:16 (KJV) 16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.

Thank you, Lord, for your Holy Spirit. The gift of the Holy Spirit is the greater blessing from Heaven. He’s God, the Holy Spirit, the third person of the trinity. To practice His presence in our lives is to be aware that God sees all, knows all, and hears all that we do in this life which should encourage a life consecrated, sanctified, set apart, and holy unto the Lord. The Holy Spirit gives strength to those without strength. All of us have found ourselves without strength, that is, human strength, but when that divine strength manifests, we know it. You can tell when it happens. You know when God’s strength manifests because the weight of your problems are gone. Your spirit man becomes more sensitive to the Holy Spirit and we’re reminded that we are the children of God. Hallelujah! Strength comes through the power of the Holy Spirit. The gifts and anointings of the Holy Spirit put super on our natural and we are enabled to do the works of Christ and greater works than these shall we do. Sometimes we want others to affirm us when the Holy Spirit affirms us, Romans 8:16 (KJV): 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God. He will reign us back into spiritual reality because our natural man will forget that we have covenant rights, and that we have power with God, 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. There’s power with the Holy Spirit. When we need a rhema Word the Holy Spirit will bring that Word back to our remembrance. What God’s Word says concerning a specific situation, He’ll bring that Word back to us and we know our Helper helps us. He speaks to us in that still small voice that He is with us, in us, and for us at all times. The Holy Spirit lives in us and takes His abode inside of us. He helps us in prayer, not that we don’t know how to pray, but what to pray the Holy Spirit helps us. Thank you, Holy Spirit.  In His Service, Pastor Jeffery A. Muchison Scripture for Sunday, 11-2-25 John 1:33 (KJV) 33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.

Focus we must be in this generation of deception, lies, and conspiracy theories. We’re children of the kingdom and serving in God’s kingdom is the highest honor. Our allegiance is to the most high God Jehovah, Yahweh, Yeshua. The quagmire that the Church will find itself in today, if we’re not spiritually minded, is identifying with a political party and that being priority over our identification with Christ which, in my humble opinion, will lead to some strange and awkward companionships forced upon the parties involved. For instance, if I’m a born again Christian and I’m asked to go along with some rule that’s clearly against the Word of God then we’ve got a problem, or should have a problem, which is my point. Too many Christians compromise their faith to fit into a political party and what a person does is between them and the good master, but here’s the problem with that position. Once you cross that line your credibility as a representative, ambassador, and a citizen of the kingdom of God is all but non-existent. When we can’t call right right and wrong wrong then who is going to listen to us when we say we’re speaking for God? When Christians go along with evil because it’s their team but are quick to condemn others for the same thing, it’s hypocrisy. The word hypocrisy in the Bible means stage actor. What we have in this age are stage actors who are professional liars and will rob, cheat, and steal in order to have their political way. Truth is thrown out the window. The war cry is by any means necessary regardless of who it may hurt or destroy. This, while Christians stand idly by and are silent. Dr. Fredrick K. C. Price made a profound statement in his series titled, “Race, Religion, & Racism, A Bold Encounter with Division in The Church” when he said, “Racism could not have flourished in America without the consent of the Church.” In His Service, Pastor Jeffery Muchison Scripture for Sunday, 10-26-25 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.

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. In His Service, Pastor Jeffery A.

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. I pray the spirit of Joshua and Caleb fill this land of milk and honey. In His Service, Pastor Jeffery A.

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. In His Service, Pastor Jeffery A. Muchison Scripture for Sunday, 10-5-25 Genesis 15:5 (KJV) 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.

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. In His Service, Pastor Jeffery A. Muchison Scripture for Sunday, 9-28-25 Hebrews 11:12–13 (KJV) 12 Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable. 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.
