Now That We Know

With Ash Wednesday, Lent Services, Holy Week, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Sunrise and Easter morning service; sermons and songs and praise dancing and worship have been geared toward the risen Savior. Jesus Lives! The stone has been rolled away, the tomb is empty, the napkin is still folded, Sin is Defeated, Hallelujah! He's not there, He has risen from the grave with all authority. Jesus lives is the story. We believe that to be Truth; according to the songs we sing, the testimonies we have, and the WORD we hear. God is looking for men and women “who can see” with their spiritual eyes and catch the wind of God’s Spirit. God is looking for men and women who are dependable, focused and fearless when it comes to their God given assignments. Jesus said, "All power and authority in heaven and earth has been given to me". As members of the Body of Christ we have a major assignment from God. Disciples need to be made, unsaved must be ministered to, the unchurched must be reached, the unsaved must be saved, the empty pew must be filled, the Body of Christ must come outside of the four walls of the Church and begin to minister to individuals; that they may come into a Saving Relationship with Christ. There are not enough people being saved! Our Churches are so wonderful....Our People are so smart.... Our accomplishments are so great....Yet the Unsaved and UnChurched and UnCared for are so left alone, unattended, unapproached for their soul's salvation, undisturbed, and unmoved...with all the Church that's going on in our cities. God help me to be the vessel that will lead your people outside of the walls, outside of tradition, outside of denomination, outside of limitation, outside of fears, outside of economic and race, barriers, into the bold place of witnessing and making disciples and baptising men and women into the Body of Christ in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Speak to my heart that I may speak to your people that which invokes a desire to see men turn from unrighteousness and unfaithfulness into a faithful, loving relationship with you; In Jesus name I ask, Amen!
