✨ Sunday Recap ✨

As we closed out our “Walk It Out” series, we were blessed to hear the Gospel preached for the first time by our very own Deacon Carlos Diaz!

Deacon Carlos opened with a powerful reminder from Luke 9:62:

"No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God."

As we walk with Christ, we cannot afford to be double-minded. There are many roles we can carry in life. We can be fathers, husbands, mothers, wives, professionals, and so much more. But we cannot be both a man of God and a man of the world. Walking it out requires us to walk according to the Spirit.

Deacon Carlos took us through the fruit of the Spirit , reminding us that these fruits do not simply appear without cultivation. We have to walk them out daily with the Holy Spirit.

Love is an action, not merely a feeling. We can experience emotions in love, but biblical love requires effort, stewardship, and intentionality over what God has entrusted to us, especially our relationships.
-1 John3:18 ; Mark 12:30-31

Longsuffering is something none of us particularly want to experience, but it is part of the walk. While it is often translated as patience, longsuffering is more than simply waiting. It is enduring hardship while continuing to stand and walk with God. It requires action, endurance, and stillness in Him.

We were reminded through Colossians 3:5-13 that walking with Christ means putting away the things that belong to our old nature and putting on what reflects Him.

Then there is Peace. Scripture tells us to live at peace with everyone, but that becomes difficult when we continue operating in the flesh every time we encounter hardship or opposition. Our path is not simply where we are walking, but also how we are thinking along the way.

The Bible tells in Ephs. 4:27 we cannot allow the enemy to gain a foothold and turn temporary struggles into strongholds.

It is not easy.

Walking it out includes struggle. It includes moments when our flesh wants to respond differently. It includes enduring, forgiving, loving, waiting, and choosing the Spirit again and again.

But keep walking.

Keep cultivating.

Keep allowing the Holy Spirit to produce His fruit in you.

And as we continue to walk it out, we are reminded:

“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."
-Galatians 6:9

The fruit will come.

Don't stop walking it out.🙏🏽

Speak life w/ Sister Pamela Diaz

This week’s Speak Life reminder was simple but powerful: don’t allow what you see to make you doubt what God has spoken.

When doubt creeps in, we have to remember that we walk by faith and not by sight. The enemy will try to convince us that we are forgotten, disqualified, defeated, or that it’s simply “over.” But God says, “I’m not finished.”

2 Timothy 1:7 reminds us that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.

Just because you haven’t seen the harvest yet doesn’t mean God has stopped working. Don’t give up because you haven’t seen the promise come to pass yet.

We were also reminded to use wisdom and discernment about whose voice we allow to speak into our lives. Everyone who has an opinion does not necessarily have the wisdom or fruit to guide us. Age should speak advanced years, and advanced years should teach wisdom.

So this week, choose carefully which voice you believe.

When the enemy says, “It’s over,” God says, “I’m not finished.”
When the enemy says, “You can’t,” God says, “I am with you.”
When the enemy says, “You’re defeated,”God says, “Stay firm.”

Speak life. Believe God’s truth over the enemy’s lies. Walk by faith. And keep goin❤️

✨ Sunday Recap✨

This Sunday, Pastor Mary Walker continued our “Walk It Out” series with a powerful teaching word reminding us that sometimes, when we are walking out what God has called us to do, it can feel as though His presence is silent.

But even in the silence, we are called to align ourselves with God daily and allow His Word to truly be a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path. We cannot walk this thing out in our flesh. We have to release it to God and allow Him to lead us.

Pastor Mary reminded us that when we are in a holding pattern, our posture should be prayer. Instead of asking, “What do I want to do?”we must ask, “God, what do You require of me?” Desperation has a voice, but the only tradeoff is complete surrender. When Jesus is our center, the path becomes narrow and straight. There is only one way to walk, and that is forward in Him. Do not let despair be your only time you come to Him.

Transformation requires friction. The heating and burning away of the old is often uncomfortable, but temporary suffering can be necessary for our transition into something new. You cannot build a new house on top of an old house. God is doing a work in us that requires us to release what can no longer come with us.

We were reminded that we can pray, quote Scripture, and know the Word, but we must also believe!!!
God will not violate our free will. The Word He gave you is still your Word, so pray it over yourself and walk it out.

Pastor Mary pointed us to the woman with the issue of blood, who heard that Jesus was coming and pursued her healing regardless of who, what, or where stood in her way. She was willing to reach for Jesus because she believed there was something available to her through Him.

Sometimes we say God has told us what to do, and we know He has provided what we need to do it, but we still aren't walking it out. Where is our faith?

We can walk it out, but it begins on our knees.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God”(John 1:1)

Get in the Word. Stay in the Word. Put the Word on your situation and keep moving forward.

And perhaps one of the most powerful reminders from this teaching: this message was not preached by happenstance. It flowed from Pastor Mary's own time with God and her willingness to walk out her assignment.

Teaching, not preaching. Walking it out, not just talking about it🙏🏽

“Good morning, Bishop,

Myself, along with the Shine for Christ family, give thanks to Christ Jesus for the opportunity to witness the culmination of your vision on Sunday at the dedication ceremony.
In real time, we had the privilege of seeing what Psalm 23:5 truly looks like: “My cup runs over.”
May God continue to richly bless you, your vision, and the entire New Beginning Church family. What a beautiful testament to God’s faithfulness and your obedience to His call.
Blessings to you always!

-Pastor Larry Walker”

**HALLELUJAH!!! 🙌🏾**

What a beautiful inspiration it was to witness firsthand that when God speaks a word and gives you a vision, He will bring it to fruition!

Yesterday, Shine For Christ loaded up and hit the road to Micanopy, Florida, to support and celebrate the groundbreaking of New Beginnings’ “NEW BEGINNING.”

The event embodied Psalm 23:5 in the natural: “My cup runneth over!”

STANDING ROOM ONLY!!!There was not a seat in the house! More than 20 ministers poured into the building, and well over 100 guests filled every available space, even lining the walls! The overflow room needed an overflow room!

It was truly a spectacular sight to behold, a tangible reminder of what happens when faith, obedience, vision, and God’s Provision come together.

And now the question comes quickly:

What has God spoken to you? And can you hold on long enough to see it come to fruition?

God never promised us a journey without valleys, but He has proven time and time again that ,He does not make promises He will not keep.

Keep believing.
Keep trusting.
Keep pressing.
Keep holding on.

If God said it, He will do it!

✨ Sunday Recap ✨
This Sunday, Pastor Larry Walker continued encouraging the congregation in the “Walk It Out” series with a powerful reminder:

🛡️ STAND! 🛡️

Opening in Ephesians 6, Pastor reminded us once again that as believers, we are engaged in spiritual warfare whether we recognize it or not. The battle is real, but God has not left us defenseless. He has fully equipped us to stand.

Pastor began by teaching that understanding warfare is essential. Just as every branch of the military has a unique assignment, every piece of the Armor of God has a specific purpose. Each part works together to prepare us for victory.

Walking through Ephesians 6:13-18, Pastor explained the significance of each piece:

The Belt of Truth reminds us not to become entangled in the enemy's lies. One of his greatest deceptions is convincing believers that we are fighting for victory, when in reality, Christ has already won the victory. We stand from a place of triumph, not defeat.

The Breastplate of Righteousness protects our hearts. Pastor reminded us that our own righteousness is as filthy rags, but because we are covered by Christ, when the accuser comes, we can boldly declare that we come in the name of the Lord, not in our own strength.

Feet fitted with the Gospel of Peace prepare us to keep moving forward. The enemy constantly attacks our peace through life's daily struggles, but the peace Jesus gives is not dependent on circumstances. It is a supernatural peace that steadies us even in the middle of the storm.

The Shield of Faith enables us to withstand the enemy's attacks. Pastor reminded us that faith even as small as a mustard seed has the power to move mountains. Our faith becomes our defense when doubt and fear come against us.

The Helmet of Salvation guards our minds, because the battlefield is often fought there first. Pastor reminded us that if the head falls, the body will follow. The enemy seeks to attack our thoughts with fear, doubt, condemnation, and deception, but the assurance of our salvation protects our minds and keeps us focused on the truth of who we are in Christ.

The Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, is our offensive weapon. Scripture is living and powerful, sharper than any two-edged sword. God's Word cuts away the dead things in our lives, exposes what does not belong, and calls us to lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily entangles us.

But Pastor emphasized that Paul was not finished after describing the armor.

We must pray.

And keep praying.

Ephesians 6:18 reminds us to pray on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and petitions. Prayer is our continual conversation with the Father. It is our privilege to bring our own needs before Him while also standing in the gap for others through intercession.

Finally, Paul instructs believers to stay alert. Spiritual battles require spiritual awareness. We cannot afford to become distracted, complacent, or spiritually asleep.

Pastor challenged us to remember that putting on the armor is not enough, we must stand in it.

Stand in truth.
Stand in righteousness.
Stand in peace.
Stand in faith.
Stand on the Word.
Stand in prayer.

And after you've done all to stand...

Stand therefore.
