From Pastor Angela Brown What
I am about to share with you is not a boast but a testament to the greatness
of the God we serve. When I was 17, I felt called to the ministry, but
because I was God
has a plan for each and every one of us. His perfect plan does not function
on our schedule, but the Godly schedule in his PDA. Almost twenty years after
I heard the call of God on my life, God put his plan into action and
yesterday I was ordained as a pastor in service for my awesome God and his
church. What
does God have planned for you? Whatever it is, don’t rush, let God take the
lead and he will get you where you need to go when you need to get there. Joshua
24:15 And
if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will
serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side
of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for
me and my house, we will serve the LORD. Look
What The Lord Has Done Look
what the Lord has done, Look
what the Lord has done, He
healed my body, he touched my mind. He
saved me just in time. I’m
gonna praise his name. Each
day is just the same. Come
on and praise him, Look
what the Lord has done. |
From Pastor Joan Castle (Say the following out loud during your devotional
time, and mediate on these scriptural promises) Heavenly Father, I seek Your word and wisdom, for it is far greater than
any riches. I seek You first and pursue after Your love and
grace. Your mercies are everlasting. Thank You for creating me
and forming me and knowing me before the foundation of the world. You
know all about me. My going in and my coming out. You know what I
will do before I do it. Thank You Holy Spirit for being my close friend
and leading me in the path of righteousness. I choose to hear the voice of the Good Shepherd. The devil’s voice
I will not follow. I will run from it. Today and everyday I will
hear what the Spirit of God is saying, and I will not harden my heart or
shove aside His promptings. Your Word, Lord, is a lamp to my feet and a
light to my path. You lead me in paths of righteousness for Your name’s
sake. The steps of a good man or woman are ordered by the Lord.
The Lord guides me with His counsel. The Holy Spirit is in me to reveal the hidden things that I cannot see
with my natural eyes. I believe that God gives me the spirit of wisdom
and revelation through a growing knowledge of Him. The Spirit of truth lives
in me and He will guide me into all that is truth. He will show me
things to come as I allow Him to speak into my life. I have the mind of
Christ and my thoughts and attitudes are obedient to the Holy Spirit.
Amen . |

2007 Growing For Sowing Exceed to Seed
If God is giving you
dreams and visions for something to accomplish here at New Covenant, then
please, by all means share it with Pastor Randy. Write it down and e-mail
it: Habakkuk 2:2 says, “And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make
it plain upon tables, that he may run that reads it.” Write down what God is showing you and
share it. |
2007 is a year of “Growing for Sowing.” A time for us to continue to grow. As we are set to enter into the hundreds here at this local church, let’s keep in mind that God has also called us to other cities, other nations, etc. God is setting in motion events that will send various leaders here at New Covenant to the north, south, east, and west. We’re not just going to call them in, we will go out. So, 2007 will be the year that we grow in order to sow. That we exceed where we are in order to seed in other places. Keeping in mind that God has called this church, |

Your Prayer Life |
||
|
Pray, Pray, Pray. It’s a great activity and nothing yields greater and higher rewards in every area of life. Today, I want to give a few pointers that can act as a “checklist” for your prayer life. Go through these pointers and begin to develop a successful time alone with God. How to pray: Alone with God Jesus said, “When you pray, go into your closet alone, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly” (Matthew 6:6). Everyday, have a time set apart to be alone with God. This “ With someone else and/or in a group Jesus said, “If two or more are assembled together in my name, I will be among them” (Matthew 18:20). He also said, “if two shall agree as touching anything in prayer, it shall be done” (Matthew 18:19). There is power in agreement praying. Try it out today. Call someone and say, “Hey, can we pray together?” Then, simply bring petitions to God together. And watch as your prayer life begins to increase. What to say when you pray: 1. Worship When we come before God, we should always enter into His Presence with praise and worship (Psalm 100:4). Sing a song of praise. Speak words of adoration. Bless Him first. So often we run into the throne room of our Father and say, “gimme, gimme, gimme, often with no regard for His heart. The very love of our souls should be honored before a petition is made. 2. Listen At the end of your worship time, begin to grow quiet and listen. Praise and worship will activate the voice of God (Acts 13:1). Simply grow quiet and listen. Be sure to write down everything God speaks to your heart. You will steadily become very skilled in hearing His Voice. Then “Pray-Out” everything He speaks to you. When He speaks, use what He says to release it. For example, if God speaks to you and says, “My people are perishing for a lack of knowledge,” then take that and pray: “Father, you have said to me that many of your people are perishing
for a lack of knowledge. Today, I ask
you to give us, in this church, a spirit of revelation knowledge. I rebuke ignorance and say that the ‘eyes of
our understanding will be flooded with light and we will know’ what you want
us to know. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.” 3. Petition Begin to make your petitions known to God as well (Phil 4:6). Have a list of things that you and God are working on. Pray about your job, about your spouse, about having a spouse (if you’re single), for your church, for your president, for your boss, etc. Pray for those you know who are sick. Make your petitions known to God. Ask Him to do what only He can do – to “fix” what only He can fix. 4. Worship Then, finally, close again in praise and worship. He’s going to answer your prayers. He’s going to do what He said He would do, now thank Him for it. Begin to pray. You’ll find your life changing more and
more. |
