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!!

You Must

Exodus 33: 15 - The Moses said to Him, "Lord, if Your presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here." What a powerful time in Killeen TX this past weekend! We were a part of the 2018 Killeen Harvester's Homecoming! It was spectacular! There were wonderful messages from the men of God, awesome testimonies from overseas as well as stateside, and tremendous fellowship and meeting new people. With all that said, there was one thing in particular that stood out to me I want to share with you...during the times of testimony, we enjoy hearing about what the Lord is doing in various churches and the city where they pastor. One of the nights, a young pastor by the name of Miguel Soliz got up and testified about what God is doing in the city he pastors, (Belton TX). He spoke of seeing people saved in his church, and he spoke of God moving on hearts as they evangelize, but that's not what shook me...he also spoke of being diagnosed with Diabetes. And he said...

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 – ...

Speak To The Rock

Numbers 20:1-13 Moses’ Error at Kadesh 20　Then the children of Israel, the whole congregation, came into the Wilderness of Zin in the first month, and the people stayed in Kadesh; and Miriam died there and was buried there. 2　Now there was no water for the congregation; so they gathered together against Moses and Aaron. 3　And the people contended with Moses and spoke, saying: "If only we had died when our brethren died before the Lord! 4　Why have you brought up the assembly of the Lord into this wilderness, that we and our animals should die here? 5　And why have you made us come up out of Egypt, to bring us to this evil place? It is not a place of grain or figs or vines or pomegranates; nor is there any water to drink." 6　So Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the tabernacle of meeting, and they fell on their faces. And the glory of the Lord appeared to them. 7　Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 8　"Take the rod; you and yo...
