Attendance: 377
Saved: 102
These are the numbers for Sunday's services! We had John Jacob's and the Power Force come and God moved mightily. The testimonies of these men were absolutely amazing. What was even more amazing was the lives changed in this service alone. People from all over the community that never even knew where the church was located came Sunday night. People that for years have ran from the Lord were there as well. The church was full of saved and unsaved, young and old, as well as all different races. This is how it is supposed to be! The most important thing was not that the church was packed out, but that there wasn't enough room at the altars for all that came forward.
I have prayed for many hours for what started Sunday night. I believe this is only the beginning. Many that gave their hearts to the Lord said they will be back Sunday morning. God is so awesome! I have always stuck to my faith, but it has amazed me at just how much he has increased us in every single area within the past few months! It pays to stick with God's plan! The anointing, unity, hunger, visitors, finances, and every thing else you could think of has increased drastically! There is only one way and I thank God daily we chose that way! The word must be the final authority in our lives!
We are planning right now to have The Power Force come back in the fall for a Monday thru a Wednesday. They will get in the schools in the daytime and do assemblies and invite them to the church at night. They have a mighty impact on all, but especially the youth.
We also are planning right now to start our evangelization and outreach ministry. After training, we will go to the streets and bring the harvest into the church.
Thank God for what he is doing in our lives! We were born for such a time as this!
Until next time,
Pastor J

Get ready! Get ready! Get ready! I know that many have thought we were crazy for the message we have been preaching some time now, but I see it coming to pass every single day. We definitely are not the only ones for everyone that is in tune with the Holy Spirit has been saying the same thing! It is now time to stand up and be all that he has called you to be. We see the world system getting worse every single day and this will only continue to get worse. God never promised us in his word that he was coming back for a glorious world, but for a glorious church.
It is amazing to me what he has been doing within our church. I see people coming back that have not been in church for some time now. I see people rededicating their lives to God that have not walked with him in many years. We are experiencing the power of God and the Gifts of the Spirit like never before. Is seems to be increasing every week now. I am so thankful that when so many false doctrines have been all around we made the decision to stay with the word. The bible says that you shall know them by their fruits. When people say they have a new revelation, but have failure in their lives you better watch out. The fruit tells the story about what is really going on. I have watched so many people conform the gospel to fit their lifestyle instead of allow the gospel to change them that it is pitiful. What is worse is that now is the time that the fruits are being found out. We are children of a God that takes care of us in good times and in bad.
I don't know about others, but I know that right in the middle of all that is going on in this world God is taking care of every aspect of my life and ministry. Matter of fact it is getting better every single day! Yes, we have to stand by faith in God's word, but as we do this he always provides!
I believe the world is going to wax worse and worse and those that have put faith in the world system will be in great trouble. Many have claimed to be christians, but lived like the world and the devil and now is not the time to be found in that situation. The great part is that as the world waxes worse the church is going to become more glorious than ever before. I believe we will see uncountable salvations, rededications, healings, and deliverances like never before. we are going out of here soon, but we are not going out quietly!
Remember that it is never too late to give your heart and life to God as long as you have breath in your body! Give your all to him today and he will absolutely amaze you at the changes that will take place within you. Jesus is the way!

Well, it has been some time now since my last post. I pray everyone had a great Christmas and New Year. We have much to expect this year concerning the things of God. As the Lord told us repeatedly over the last few years the world is waxing worse every single day. There is now so much of the world in the church that you cannot tell the difference between them. It is amazing how so many have fallen away from the faith that we are to contend for daily.
It is such a terrible thing to watch people's lives crumble around them. So many have refused to listen to what God has been saying for so long now that they have been caught off guard. Many enjoyed times of rebelliousness during great economic times, but that is coming to a sudden halt. I have been preaching and will never stop preaching that Jesus is the only way! We should get on our knees and seek God with everything within us every day and night of our life.
What is even more awesome is that many who turned away for some time are now returning. We are continuing to preach the same message that many have said was not right, but not only is God sustaining us he is also growing us. I believe that the number one thing God is looking for is a pure heart. I know that God has had me checking every area of my life lately to make sure it is line with his word. To make sure that my motives are right in all areas. If we are not treating our spouses and children like God has instructed us to I do not believe that we qualify for anyone else to listen to us. My desire is to be real and true in all areas of my life. No wrong motives, no wrong agendas. It seems so very often that we leave off the most important things and then we are limited in how far we can go. I choose not to make the mistakes that I have seen so many others make and that is to make sure things look right in public and let their character and private life fall apart.
Well, I don't know why I got off on that, but thank God for the victory. We have so much to be thankful for. As I was thinking the other day I don't have one single thing to complain about. I have a beautiful wife, 3 beautiful kids, an awesome church, and my God who sees me through all that I face in this life.
Remember that no matter what goes on in the news and in the world that God has not given us a spirit of fear. The word of God still reads the same and God is still on our side. The promises of God are yes and amen!

Time is drawing closer every single day. It seems like I keep repeating myself at the direction of the Lord. In every thing that I preach and teach the same message is coming up. I believe a great storm is on the horizon for those who have decided to live their lives apart from God. It seems like so many are paying no attention at the warnings that are going forth. I see now that this was one of the main reasons for so many erroneous teachings and false doctrines going forth in these last days. This is why so many Christians are scared to death right now is because they know what they have been teaching and living is not of God. It is time to get serious like never before! Many believe that things will get better this year. This will not get better for a nation without God, but will only get worse. More jobs lost, more economic woes, more families doing without!
Many ask me why I would say these things when I am supposed to be a faith teacher. I have watched so many Christians decide to do what they wanted to do instead of what God instructed them to do. Now they are suffering not for God, but for the decisions they have made without God. The Lord told me just a few weeks ago that it would shock me at who would become a part of this ministry in the days to come. The reason for this would be because of the situation and circumstances that would prevail in their lives due to their decisions to do as they pleased.
As I say all of these things our church members know this is not the mentality in our church. We have been experiencing increase in every area. This past Sunday was just another example. God is moving in the lives of his people that are obedient to him. It is so great to see new faces in the church weekly. It is so great to be financially sound and increasing as we watch the economy sour. God takes care of his people that submit to his will. Thank God for the fruit of faithfulness!
Please remember that we are no longer living in a time when we can get by doing our own thing! Let's get back with God! Jesus is the only way!

Well, it seems like just yesterday that this year was beginning and now Thanksgiving has come and gone and Christmas is drawing near. As usual, Thanksgiving was very busy for us, but also very enjoyable. It is always good to see family you have not seen in a year and see how they are doing. Our family is doing great and God gets all of the glory for that.
As I have been saying for some time now I believe we are living in the most critical times of our lives. I know many have been predicting things to get better, but the Holy Spirit told me several months ago that God's word never promised us that he was coming back for a glorious world, but a glorious church. If your hope and faith is in the world you are in trouble. I have watched so many people make fun of the gospel we live and preach, but it doesn't seem to be so funny any more. It is time to get serious with God if you have not been.
I am so thankful for the ministry of my father that i was raised under. He was a man that refused to waiver no matter who ridiculed him. As a result of his faithfulness and now ours this ministry and our lives individually have not faltered at all. Thank God his word works in good times and in bad! It does hurt to see other people hurt and I believe we should do all we possibly can to reach out to them and help them. The most important thing we can do in these times is hold fast to the unchanging word of God. His word never fails!

Well, another week has come and gone. It is amazing at how fast this year has gone by. It is also amazing at how much things have changed since this time last year. Thank God in an ever changing world we serve a never changing God!
We have been praying daily for a fresh move of the Holy Spirit within the church. Over the last several weeks we have seen the power of God escalate every single week. During yesterday's services we had an individual rededicate their life to God as well as several instant healings in last night's healing service. It was absolutely amazing to see God touch people's lives in the way he is doing. The gifts of the Spirit have been flowing like never before and the impact has been awesome in the lives of the people. We have had some that have been out of church for years to return because of the way God is speaking into their lives.
I am learning daily that if we will just yield to God and allow him to guide us we will be a success at everything we do. Sometimes this is very hard to do with all of the foolishness in the world as well as in the church that you continually hear. There is so much being said that is contrary to the Word of God this day and time that you must continually stay in God's word in order to stay balanced. I see so many people go astray from God's plan for their lives because they listen to other people and take what they are saying hook, line, and sinker. The problem is that what they are saying is contrary to God's word.
Well, I pray each of you have a Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy your families. We are praying for each of you and are here if you need us.
Until next time,

Thank God for the power of the Holy Ghost. We have been seeking God more than ever before for revival and he is showing up in a mighty way. He moved miraculously in both services yesterday and people's lives were changed. It is great to see people coming back as well as visitors that we've never seen before. God is so good!
I do not believe that many people, especially Christians, realize the times and seasons we are living in. It seems as if many are just waiting on things to get better not realizing that the word never promises us that the world will get better. As I was praying some time ago the Lord spoke to me and said, "Many people, including some christians, have bought into the American dream and the American dream is a dream without God." So many people have decided to go their own way apart from the Word of God and now is the time to get right with God. God never promised us that he was coming back for a glorious world, but a glorious church. It is time for the glory to return to the church of the living God in a way we have never seen before. If we will yield to him now and step out in faith he will show up in a glorious and mighty way. I know this to be true because we are seeing this weekly in the church. God is visiting those who are crying out for a visitation. It is time now that we wake up and realize that "with man it may be impossible, but with God all things are possible to him that believeth."
We must continue to pray for our leaders daily, our troops, our churches, and those that are lost. The best is truly yet to come for the church that stays with God and his word and moves by his Spirit.
Until next time,
