Common Goal






Acts 2:1-4

2 When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

God wants to meet with His people just as much as we want Him to...however, the bible makes it clear the prerequisite for this to happen...

1 - They were in One Place
2 - They were in One Accord
3 - The celebration (opportunity of mass gathering) was in full effect

God wanted the attention of the lost masses...He waited for the opportunity to present itself, and decided to select a group of people who were in unity to do it! God does powerful things through His people who are in one accord with Him and with one another.

If a church is every in upheaval, it's because they are not on the same page. This weekend showed me that God's people were on the same page! For 16+ hours, people in the church got together and began to build/remodel our current building! It was hard work, but together, we were able to accomplish this great feat.

I believe with all my heart that the reward for this will be SOULS! In fact, since the rearranging of the sanctuary, we've seen 10 visitors! If you are going to accomplish ALL that God has for you, you must be where He wants you to be. This is usually where He found you!!
'The will of God has an address...' - Joe Campbell (2011)

Have you found your place in His kingdom? Are you ready to do His will, or are you so preoccupied with what you wanna do, it's clouded your mind's ability to discern the voice of God? You will do NOTHING for God if you refuse to bloom where you've been planted...too many are church - hopping, for whatever reason...but I'll tell you plainly, IT'S NOT RIGHT!! What's worse, is people say, 'God spoke to me', you better be careful about putting words in our Lord's mouth!

As a body of believers, we must come together in order to see His gospel spread throughout the land! There are too many Christians filled with their own self-interests, and literally 'Walk Out' of the will of God in order to suit their desires. God help us! We should be winning the world, not soaking in it!
Let Jesus fulfill His will for you > our presumptuous manufacturing will get us into trouble every time...let's build for God!!

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...

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...

Overcoming Witchcraft

Numbers 23:20 - "...Behold I have received a command to bless; He has blessed, and I cannot reverse it..." It is in the devil's nature to oppose, restrict, and curse the people of God. He will stop at nothing to make you and I very small...this is what witchcraft is designed to do; we, as the people of God must stand up and walk in the freedom that God has given us. Too many of God's children simply accept the circumstances they face, this allows the devil to tell you and I that the hell we are going through is either 'normal', or it's 'our fault.' This is a lie from hell! God's people are to be blessed...have dominion and authority - we no longer have to live under the tyranny of hell and its principalities - "...He whom the Son sets free is free indeed" It's time to do business with God and break the chains of witchcraft and curses off of our lives! First of all, you must recognize where the curse is coming from and ...
