Takin' It To The Streets

Matthew 11:12 -  And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.

The Potter's House Christian Church of Pasadena TX is on the move! God promised that we would win the city in His name, but it's a battle that we must fight! Just as God didn't simply hand over Canaan to the children of Israel, He isn't going to hand over our city to us, not without a fight!

Isaiah 59:19- So shall they fear
The name of the Lord from the west,
And His glory from the rising of the sun;
When the enemy comes in like a flood,
The Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.

 That standard was the Word of God itself, and we waived it with honor and humility last Saturday Night! To put it plainly, we took the Lord at His Word, and went to a local movie theater in Pasadena. The aim was to outreach, and get the bullhorn blowing the gospel! We actually have a karaoke machine that we were also going to use for a rap attack but when we arrived, it didn't work properly. We didn't give up though, people were still determined to outreach and lead people to Christ...a brother in the church, (Felipe), got an idea - he told me to hook my phone up to his sound system to play the instrumentals; he has a very loud sound system. After this was arranged, we used the bullhorn as a microphone, and voila, it was on and poppin'!!

God had given us absolute dominion in that parking lot! People were getting saved all around us, and even begin to help us pass out fliers and witness! It was amazing! Another brother in the church, (Rene), actually stood on top of Felipe's car and started street preaching!! You could actually hear him all the way up to the front of the movie theater - people were staring at us, driving through, even the police stopped by to check on us, making sure that WE were protected!!  HA! I give the Lord all the glory and praise for what He did that night...

Acts 17: 6b, '“These who have turned the world upside down have come here too."

This is our mantra, this is our calling, to take our city and turn it upside down for the gospel of Jesus Christ! The heart of Jesus, His passion has always been the souls of men and women...I have come to know that sinners are not the enemy...they are the prize!

Continue to pray for us, as we take our city in Jesus' name!

The Power of God

Hebrews 12: 29 - 'Our God is a consuming fire...'  I thank my God that we were able to witness this momentous occasion. My brother (Casi), and my sister (Veronica), tied the knot this morning! What a beautiful story of integrity, fidelity, and prayerful persistence! According to testimony...Veronica received a word from Pastor Dillard October 2014 that her prayers would be answered and the one she has been praying for would be by her side not too long from now...this has actually come true!! Through fasting, prayer, counseling and perseverance...that prayer was answered in a big way! Casi, a man of the penal system, made some serious decisions to turn his life around and give Jesus his life. This took a lot of soul - searching, and a lot of humility; usually a man of great pride and arrogance, now had to come to grips with the truth that he was in desperate need of the blood of Jesus. His love for Veronica had surfaced, but her commitment to Christ through him for a loop...

Pain

I finally got a chance to speak with pain; I had a lot of questions for pain to answer hopefully. The first question was obvious – Who asked you to come here? No answer Why do you afflict my life? Still no answer Then I realized I was asking the wrong questions, so I shouted out: Who do you think you are? Pain turned around and finally answered, ‘O just a friend.’ Well you’re no friend of mine! At this, pain started laughing hysterically then said, ‘I remind you of your frailty, your capabilities and your nature, without me you would start thinking that you’re perfect; or even God Himself! I thought about what pain said, then he rose up and asked me…’ Can I go now? I have work to do’ So I asked pain, where are you going? He replied, not very far, I’m still working in this house . I begged pain to leave…he said, “I can leave but there’s a problem.” What’s that? He answered, if I leave, you would have no motivation to seek God. With that, pain turned and walked away – ...

Need of Ministry

1 Samuel 3:1-14  3 Now the boy Samuel ministered to the Lord before Eli. And the word of the Lord was rare in those days; there was no widespread revelation. 2 And it came to pass at that time, while Eli was lying down in his place, and when his eyes had begun to grow so dim that he could not see, 3 and before the lamp of God went out in the tabernacle of the Lord where the ark of God was, and while Samuel was lying down, 4 that the Lord called Samuel. And he answered, “Here I am!” 5 So he ran to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” And he said, “I did not call; lie down again.” And he went and lay down. 6 Then the Lord called yet again, “Samuel!” So Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” He answered, “I did not call, my son; lie down again.” 7 (Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, nor was the word of the Lord yet revealed to him.) 8 And the Lord called Samuel again the third time. So he arose and went to Eli, and said, “H...
