We are in the
middle of a great move of God in Jacksonville Florida. God is moving
in a miraculous way. The real exciting part for me is the fact that
my church is in the middle of the movement. I am not saying that my
church is an exclusive center for God. This might be happening in
every church. The only one I know for sure about is mine, because I
attend there very regularly.
Last Sunday we
were informed in a church service. That the county school department,
had contacted our church to, give them the thumbs up, to go in, and
minister to fifteen public schools. Everybody in this country knows
that God is not welcome in our public school system. Since the 60's
Father has been booted out in the way of Bible reading, and prayer.
Our church has
been doing things for the schools in our area. We have went out
there, and cleaned the property up where it was needed. I believe
that we have even built things that either needed to be built, or
repaired things that were damaged. While doing all these things we
did not infringe on anybody’s rights, in any way. We did not charge
for any of the stuff that we did. We did things that needed to be
done in order to advance our educational community. We did them from the heart of the church, to show that the love of God, is alive and well. We did it basically,
because it was the right thing. Asking nothing in return except the
ability to help where help was needed. God is opening doors in this
community, and He is using our church to go through.
You wouldn't
believe how busy things are at the church. We sponsor over one
hundred missionaries throughout the world. Every month we send
construction teams, made up from our congregation to build a church
in an area of a country that doesn't have one. We even let the
children of our church get involved in building of a church. At my
church we are a family. Right now we are in the process of planning
trips to, Romania, Asia, Lithuania, Germany, and also two states in
our country; Alaska, and South Dakota.
We are involved
heavily in our local community. (Prison Crusades, Sidewalk Sunday
School, Juvenile Detention, S.O.S. Homeless Ministry, School Supply
Drives, Disaster Relief, Toys for Kids, Chi-Alpha , Reach America,
ETAG Iron Motorcycle Ministry, City Rescue Mission,High School Campus
Outreach ) I don't even understand what some of this is, but we take
care of things as a whole. As members we have a choice of where we
want to minister, or not at all.
We are in the
process of building a new sign for our church. We are located right
next to the interstate, and our sign ministers to a minimum of
100,000 cars that pass by it each day. It is a great opportunity to
encourage, and invite those that are currently involved with a church
to visit ours.
This is a very
busy times of the year because of Easter. This is the time that we
recognize that our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, defeated hell and
death, and rose from the grave. We love, and worship a risen Savior!!
It is much more that an egg hunt, but we do that for our children. We
love our children!! We have this egg hunt called an Easter
Eggstravaganza, and this is the time that our excellent production
team goes into action. The name is the perfect lion. If you go
thought the video's posted on the website you can see last years
production.
I really love my
church, because my church really loves their God!! We don't play
church, with all the silly rules and regulations of man. We are the
church. We meet to worship the One true God!! We are led by the
Spirit, and filled with the Spirit. We welcome Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit into our church. We sing praises to Him. We worship Him
individually inside of a corporate setting. Everything that we do is
to honor our God. We do nothing in honor of ourselves. It is all
about the Jesus that we love!!
The best thing
about our church is the fact that we worship the Lord, and He honors
us with His presence every time. We never have to worry whether or
not that He will show up. If you would make the Lord the guest of
honor in your services he would be there with you!! One more thing,
maybe two. We also have a television ministry, and live streaming on
the Internet. They show the meat of the service, but lack real badly
in the gravy department. Our services are energized with the fire of
God!! Y'all come and give us a visit one way or the other!! This link

.............Much Love
