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. In His Service, Pastor Jeffery A. Muchison Scripture for Sunday, 2-15-26 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.

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 His Service, Pastor Jeffery A. Muchison Scripture for Sunday, 2-8-26 John 16:13 (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.

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.

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. The greatest honor is to be citizens of the kingdom of the most high God. Amen.  In His Service, Pastor Jeffery A.

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.  In His Service, Pastor Jeffery A. Muchison Scripture for Sunday, 1-11-26 Luke 2:36–37 (KJV) 36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity; 37 And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.

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.  In His Service, Pastor Jeffery A.

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.
