The battle is on. You did not ask for it but it has come upon you. The enemy is coming, he wants ground, he wants spoils, and he wants you. If the enemy can make you his servant he will be glad for that. If he destroys you he does not care and is pleased either way. He is pleased with himself and your demise.
I am reminded of the story of Lot being taken by the kings who fought against S***m and Gomorah. Lot was taken by the enemy and all his possessions. Nevertheless, there was Abraham. Abraham had gotten word of the situation and took immediate action to salvage the life of his kin. Abraham with armed servants chases, battles, disbands the enemy and takes back the people, the spoils, and frees Lot.
What heroism Abraham shows. His compassion for his family caused him to rise up and do what was needed. It is not told that Abraham was a warrior but he becomes one for the sake of his family.
Thank the Lord, Jehovah, (the Father, the Son, the Spirit) that He arises and becomes our warrior, He is sword, He is shield. He protects. He salvages. Moses tells us who God is in Exodus 15:3. We are encouraged in 2Chronicles 20:15, who the battle belongs to. But David here too says, "teaches my hands to war". We are in the thick of the fight, we fight, and God is our shield. Trust Jehovah in the war, battle, fight, and look for the victory.

ALL are welcome!
Inspiring Worship is at 10:30
We are studying Acts 11:27-30, Conveyance.
Here are a few things we will hear;

There is no biblical headquarter church.

All churches should have their own direction from God's scripture and God's Spirit.

They gave by trusting the word and trusting the man that gave the word.

They acted then, when they heard the word and not later when they could see the word taking place.

Giving helps to fill the emptiness, or what is lacking.

We each should create a lifestyle where we can give.

What we need is determination in spirit before we get struck with the problem. 🙋

The experience is not just life but would be with the handling of life properly.

Be our guest. ALL are welcome.
Tomorrow we will continue the study of Acts 11, Conveyance; here are some things we will hear;

Do not tell God, do not tell yourself, that you cannot be an implement of God's grace.

What did the Lord do, he pointed to a man who was delivered, and had the words of deliverance.

Counsel should come from God, the word of God, and godly people.

You must reach for the life preserver that is presented.

Deliverance is of the Lord, but we must act on the word to be delivered.

It shows one is burning for God but not burned out for the flame is the Eternal Spirit.

The church should not refuse anyone with a living testimony of salvation.

Jesus was the greatest man that ever walked the earth. His greatness was in reflection of who he served which was his Father. Jesus answers the great questions of life. Where did I come from? Who am I? Why am I here? Where am I going? These questions are about origin of life, meaning of life, destiny in life, and mortality the afterlife. Jesus answered each of these by his Father; I am of, the Son of, to Glorify, and will return to my Father.

Jesus knew who he was because of the relationship he had with the Father and Spirit. This relationship built in him a stability and care for others. Jesus acted by the Spirit within him and for the Father around him.

The relationship of oneness Jesus has with the Spirit and the Father is demonstrated outward to people. Jesus being the ultimate example to follow of friendship. His friendship to all people is the very relationship he has with the Spirit and Father. This relationship that is intimately between the Trinity is desired to be shared with all.

This is how Jesus can be a friend of sinners, a friend that sticks closer than a brother, and calls those friends who follow his commandments. Jesus is allowing all to recieve exactly what he recieves of his relationship.

The friendship of Jesus cannot be compared just as the friendship within the Trinity can hardly be explained.

The waves were relentless, the wind whipped the sea into a frenzy. The rain came it seemed from all directions and the only thing the disciples knew is that they were going contrary to the wind but Jesus had commanded that they go to the other side. Just like the disciples many times the storm is right upon us, while we are taking on water, bobbing wildly in the waves, knowing God told us to go this way. Hold on deliverance is coming. De facto here He comes walking on water. 😮🙌🏼

Natural life and bad decisions can put us in the deep in need of deliverance. Praise be to God it is still not to late to be delivered! I know a Deliverer. We are not immune to a sin cursed world. Actually, we are rowing right through it. Sorrows, pain, heartache, loss, are all around us and we did not request it nor seek it. We need to also realize that it may be a test of faith. So, what is the reason of your deliverance? Is it bad decisions, cursed world, or trial of faith? Or a little of all three? 🤷🏽 Either way God is the best at deliverance. There is none that compares like He does at delivering. Ask Abraham and Isacc, when the angel said, "their is a ram in the thickett". Ask the Isrealites, standing on the other side of the Red Sea with fish in hands watching the enemy drown. Ask Ruth, when she watched Naomi hold her child born of Boaz. Ask, Mary Magdolene, John the beloved, Matthew the tax collector, the Centurion at the cross, Saul who becomes Paul, and well, frankly me who has been delivered and He continues to deliver.

It is interesting to note that the word Savior in the Hebrew and Greek has the meaning of "one that delivers". I personally find it easier to say savior than "one that delivers" or even deliverer. With that being said, we have a Savior.

Are you in need of a Savior? I bet you are. Call out to Jesus like Peter did when he sank in the storm on the sea and found the hand of a Savior delivering him.

Day 13 of 29 days of purposed prayer,
Please pray;

Lord God, we welcome you into our house, into hearts, into our worship. Lord we have not truly worshipped if you are not our focus. Fill us with your known presence. We want to freely worship.

Jehovah, we give you thanks. We are so grateful for a central place to meet with the family to worship. We thank you Jesus for your taking upon yourself our sins, dying a sinner's death, but we thank you for being eternally resurrected. You are life God! We thank you for life.

Lord, we repent of any sin against you. We repent of not focusing on You. We repent of not following You. We leave behind the sin of unyielding and disobedience. We surrender to Your will. We run to you Jehovah.

We release Lord. Holy Ghost of God speak to us what we need to release to recieve from you. We release ___________ and receive your grace and goodness for our healing and your work.
We desire Father your will be done. We desire that You be sanctified in our hearts, in our service, in our worship. We ask that you move over our community and that the gospel be heard and recieved. Bless our families. Grow our church family. May Your name be glorified. Amen.

We are looking forward to worship tomorrow!
One verse, one word has jumped out at the pastor and he wants to encourage all who are hurting, needful, bitter, broken, wrecked, etc. to come and receive a biblical celebration.
Acts 10 Calculation and vs. 36 is our study and here are a few things we will hear;

When God brings it all together it is recognizably of God.

The real true peace each of us seek will never come through anything attached to the secular.

You can never comprehend the peace of God until you have peace with God.

We need the initiating peace of salvation from Jesus Christ to change our spirit.

Once you have the peace of God it heals your heart and stabilizes the mind. (Amen!) 🙌

Believers are screaming for peace, hungering, thirsting, and weeping for peace and yet, will not get in the word. 😯

God's peace is just as large as God is.

The peace from Jesus is rest within the chaos.

God's peace can be in your spirit, if you open your spirit to God and not your spirit to the problem. (Hello!)

🤔 I wonder what this message is on?

Many times when it comes to signs and wonders we immediately begin thinking of outward physical healings. But what of the greatest healing that of the sin sick soul?

The greater biblical truth of signs and wonders were for the Jew to believe in God. More specific, when Jesus came healing it was for the Jew to believe in Him as the Messiah, and Promised Son, and King. For the Gentile to believe it is by wisdom, by truth.

Today, we have the encapsulated truth called the Bible. The bride of Christ is to uphold the Word and its illuminating properties will give sight to the "blind", the blind in spirit.

I will never dismiss a miracle, God is Almigty and a Healer. However, have you been soul healed. We are sick with the most aggressive cancer to date, that of our own rebellion against God and His Word. Sin. Iniquity. Transgression against God's commandments. Label it how you will it weighs heavy upon us. There is not a physician in the land, holistic, modern, gifted hands, or otherwise that can cut this cancer from you. However, there is a Great Physician, a Healer that can in a moment cleanse you, pardon you, deliver you, and forgive you from every sin ever committed. You will be free, you will have dominion, you will be healed from sin.

Humbly bow your spirit before God admitting you have wronged Him in your sinful lifestyle and abandon that lifestyle. Give your life to Jesus and receive his life.

Knowing the sickness, knowing the Healer, you then know the cure, and you can know the healing.

As a church we have prayed 8 days together; let us keep it going.

We welcome you Lord into our church. We want Your direction. We want your presence Jehovah. We choose You above everything.

We thank you Jesus for your death and resurrection which brings us life. We thank you Holy Spirit for your indwelling. We thank you Father for your redeeming us. Jehovah, thank you for all that we have and the grace that we do not even realize we have.

We repent Lord. We turn from any distraction that takes away our faith in You. We repent of any hurtful or harmful spirit within our church family. We turn from sin and to you Savior.

God, we release anything hindering us from worship. We release worldly pressures, bad news, and empty pleasures. We release these things to recieve You and what you have for us.

Lord, we desire your movement, direction, and encouragement in the spirit of our church family. We desire our community to know You. Help us present the gospel and may the hearers receive it. Bless our church family with cheer, worship, peace, health, finances, and life. Amen.

Day 5 of prayer, our journey has just begun, but it is already good...
Please join us as we pray for Bethel;
Jehovah, we invite you to be the Leader of our worship. Lord, you are our worship. We come around you, bowing, praising, and being filled by you.
We give thanks unto You the Creator of all. The Creator of us. You have created the church. Lord, you have birthed us the believer. Thank You. We are eternally grateful. Thank You for our place of worship and the people of worship.
Forgive us Lord, where we have failed you. We repent of not being aware. We repent of disobedience. We repent of being uncheerful. Enlighten us where we must grow.
Lord, help us to release. What do we need to release? We release __________ in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, we desire you to direct us. We ask for communion with You and among the brethren. Lord, speak to our community, reveal yourself to them. We ask that the gospel triumph in hearts. Lord please move among our family. We seek you for growth. In the name of the resurrected King, Jesus. Amen.
