We pray that this newsletter and its contents that we share will help you on your daily journey with Christ, causing you to grow in the ways of the Lord.

The giftings of the fivefold ministry (Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor, Teacher) should have one purpose, and that is the teaching and equipping of the saints until we come into unity.

This is why we teach so that you can grow stronger in your faith until unity comes in the body of Christ. Take what you have learned and share it with others so that we can further the kingdom for Jesus Christ.

FRESH OIL

________________

If you have ever done any cooking, then you know that oil that gets old often turns rancid. It smells and tastes horrible.

When it comes to spiritual symbols, oil is symbolic of the Holy Spirit. We are told in Ephesians 5:18, “And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit. [Holy Spirit]”

The correct rendering of be filled is “be being filled” which indicates it is a continuous process and not a one-time filling.

As Christians, we often sin which causes us to “leak” spiritually. We repent, and then get refilled with the Holy Spirit. This is the fresh oil that keeps us continuously “lit with the fire of God.” This ongoing filling keeps us fresh with the Lord and never rancid.

This fresh supply of oil will sustain us when the “heat” is turned up in our lives. It will sustain us when we have no one to turn to with our problems. The Holy Spirit comes and brings his comfort. Hebrews 1:9 says, “Thou hath loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.”

We cannot go a day without fresh oil, my friends. It is what keeps us burning for the Lord. Allow the Lord to pour it into you.

THE CHRISTMAS SERIES – PART 1

GOD’S GIFT TO MANKIND

_______________

We are coming into the happiest and most jolly season of the year, Christmas. It is first and foremost a time to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. This was God’s gift to a world under the curse of sin and eternal condemnation. This gift of a baby born to a woman from the seed of God Himself (Holy Spirit) would become the means of salvation from sin and eternal death unto soul cleansing and eternal life. This was God’s sacrificial gift of love to us.,

We joyously celebrate that birth event at this time of year on December 25^th. Events that are truly worthy of the celebration of Jesus include His birth, death, resurrection, and ascension back to heaven. However, the church has been slack in teaching the history and origins of His birth and the celebration of it. Much ignorance (lack of knowledge) of it persists still today.

The lack of knowledge and understanding is often used by cults to undermine a person’s faith and re-direct them into a cult. Jehovah’s witnesses especially use this tactic by attacking people’s belief that Jesus was born on December 25^th. We shall therefore examine the truth about Christmas and Jesus’ birth so that we do not become victimized by such subversive motives.

We must realize that regardless of what part of the year Jesus was born (and it was not December 25), the important matter is that we are commemorating the fact that God’s gift of love, His only begotten Son, was to redeem us from sin and bring us into the family of God (and the Kingdom of Heaven). This is the reason for the season

PROPHETIC WORDS AND EXHORTATIONS

A warning to the body of Christ that must be listened to

A PROPHETIC WORD

AS GIVEN TO HELEN SANDERS

THE TIME OF EASE IS OVER. For many have been swept up in the time of ease and have not listened to my voice. Oh yes, they say that they are mine, but they have been distracted by so many things. I have called unto them to come to me and sit at my feet and listen, but many have been dull of hearing and have been living the life of ease which is not the way it should be. For I would say that there are changes coming that will bring many in that place of ease to their knees. They will say, Lord, Lord, and I will say I never knew you. For this is the hour to have your lamps full of my oil and the time to be prepared to meet your bridegroom. For in an hour that you do not expect it, I shall come, and it will be too late for many. For have I not said that the times would be as in the Days of Noah? Have I not said that there would be chaos and deception? Have I not warned you and warned you that you must be prepared and ready? Yet many have not listened. My Spirit has wooed and drawn many, but they have refused to surrender their lives. Oh my, it shall be a time of weeping. It shall be a time of wrath like you have never seen. For those that have not listened it shall surely come upon them as in the days of Noah. The door will be shut, and it will be too late. But for those that have listened and stood vigilantly in the armor of God, they shall see the power of God rest upon them, and they shall rise in this hour and do great exploits. They shall be hated and mocked, and many shall lose their lives for my sake. Yet, because they have remained faithful and stood while others lived the life of ease, they shall be rewarded for their faithfulness. They shall see my hand upon them guiding them in what is ahead, and they shall see and do great things for my kingdom. For as the Son awaits His bride, the bride that stands awaits the Son. So, listen, watch, and pray, for things are going to change rapidly.

Thursday Word of the Lord

And Jesus said: Did you know I loved you? I loved you when you didn’t believe and I loved you when you received Me into your heart and mind. Life wasn’t easy for you but My purpose for your life has not changed. I will not forsake you. I will never leave you. For you are My perfect creation. You don’t see yourself like that but it doesn’t change My view of you. Reach out to Me and I will take you through.

APOSTLE PAT MURRAY

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION

Just rest easy and be assured for the troubling setback you’ve experienced is becoming rather obvious that it’s now; Well on the way of doing a big FLIP in your favor…And then all your critics will know it was the hand of God at work in you. Oh yes, for what has tried so hard to BREAK you is just about to divinely BLESS you; And it will be in many ways that you never did see coming…SO start REJOICING!!!
