(New Covenant’s
Intercessory Prayer Ministry) From Ron
Rock I
will head up a group of people to meet in the park this Sunday as it is the
first Sunday in May. We will gather some "park" and bring it to
Sunday morning intercession. We can meet at the bridge that comes in from |
Mondays
- at Ron Rock’s Home in Tucker. For
more information, see him. A number of years ago, when we first began our “Pride
Evangelism Outreaches” here at New Covenant, we “prayer walked”
the park prior to our outreach. The
first time we did it, we collected a few little zip-lock bags of dirt, rocks,
small parts of the park to bring to intercessory prayer meetings as a “Point
of Contact” in order to make prophetic declarations over the park
together. 6 years later, we are
taking up the burden again as it once was, God has restored the burden for
the lost and we are taking up the call to pray, and Ron will be helping
herald the call for prayer. God Bless, Pastor Randy Morgan |

Hardly a week goes by that the office doesn’t receive calls from people “in need.” Relationship issues, orientation-reconciliation issues, depression, bitterness, financial help, spiritual guidance, physical ailments, family problems, direction about the ministry, Bible Studies, church-issues, etc. The needs are so many, and so overwhelming in so many lives. Often it is heartbreaking to hear as the stories are told. Good News - There is a very powerful anointing on New Covenant to help address these issues and remove many of these burdens (Isaiah 10:27 KJV). God has been very good to us as a church, and the blessings that God pours out helps us help others. However, it is imperative for me to occasionally readdress the issue of WHY WE ARE ACTUALLY HERE, and how we are called to help others. We are here to lead the lost to
Jesus Christ, sinners to repentance, teach the Word of God, worship God, and
equip believers to become active in the work of the ministry. For more of a detailed description of our
ministry, click here. We are
a full-Gospel, Spirit-filled, Spirit-led, How does One Go About
Getting Help from The first thing one must do to receive help from us is receive the help that is offered every week – Worship and the Word of God. If you are a part of New Covenant in theory but never attend services and never go to home groups, then you need not ask for help unless you’re ready to shift your mindsets and receive the Word of God… Worship and the Word are the two things that help transform lives more than anything else. The Word taught stirs faith (Romans 10:17), then the faith pulls the answers to needs out of the spiritual realm and into lives. If you can not be faithful, then we can not help you. We are called to serve, not enable bad behaviors. Believe it or not, the people who call the most, with the most issues, more often than not, are those who are not under the Word or under authority on a regular basis, those who “come to church when they feel like it,” those who, “don’t have to go to church or home groups regularly…” Usually those who do not stir themselves to get to the House of the Lord to receive the Word are those who end up in desperate situations because the Word works for those who hear it, receive it, and implement it into their lives. The Word of God is forever settled (Psalm 119:89). If you have unsettled situations, financially, spiritually, emotionally, relationally, etc, then get the Word of God on those situations and watch the Word of God settle them. That being said: We have a benevolence fund that is often a source of help for all active, faithful members of New Covenant. If you are a member and have shown yourself faithful to the Word, then we are here to add an extra “Umpphhhh” to that through other means. Pastoral counsel is available to those who show themselves willing to submit to the Word of God when it is given and taught. However, no submission to the Word, no counsel for you. If you don’t live in We are here for you. If you need us, we will help. However, we won’t help you be unfaithful to God, nor will we dishonor His blessings by being frivolous with those blessings. We will serve you and bless you, but maybe in a package that you’re not expecting. There are many ways that we serve. There are many things that we do to reach out and be a blessing. However, the building block of everything we say and/or do to meet the needs of others will always be established in and from the Word of God. No priority is higher in anyone’s life. God Bless, Pastor Randy Morgan |

From Pastor Angela Brown This morning the song Let It Rise has
been on my heart. The words of the song are: Let the glory of the Lord, rise among
us, Let the glory of the Lord, rise among
us. Let the praises of the King rise among
us, Let it rise. Let the songs of the Lord, rise among
us, Let the songs of the Lord, rise among
us. Let the joy of the King, rise among us, Let it rise. Oh - oh - oh, let it rise. Oh - oh - oh, let it rise. These words tell us that the glory of
God is within each of us. To have this glory consume us, all we have to do is
allow it to take place. So often we allow the influences of the world to get
us, either up or down. Today, Let The Glory of The Lord take control
of your life and your soul. 1 John 5:4-6 4for everyone born of God overcomes the
world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.
5Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus
is the Son of God. 6This
is the one who came by water and blood-Jesus Christ. He did not come by water only, but by water and
blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the
truth. . |
From Pastor Joan Castle (Say the following out loud during your devotional
time, and meditate on these scriptural promises) I
confess, “Jesus is my Lord” I possess salvation. I confess, “By His Stripes I am healed,” I
possess healing. I confess, “the Son
has made me free,” I possess absolute freedom. I confess “the love of God is shed abroad
in my heart by the Holy Ghost,” I possess the ability to love everyone. I
confess, “the righteous are as bold as a lion,” I possess lion-hearted
boldness in spiritual warfare. I
confess, “He will never leave me nor forsake me,” I possess the presence of
God each step I take. I confess, “I am
the redeemed of the Lord,” I possess redemption benefits every day. I confess, “the anointing of the Holy One
abides in me,” I possess yoke destroying results by this anointing. I confess, “in the name of Jesus I can cast
out devils,” I possess dynamic deliverances as I defeat the enemy. I confess, “I lay hands on the sick and
they recover,” I possess positive healings for the oppressed. I confess, “I am a branch of the Living
Vine,” I possess Vine-Life wherever I go.
I confess, “I am a temple of the living God,” I possess God dwelling
in me and walking in me. I confess,
“My God shall supply all my need,” I possess the supply of my every need” In
Jesus Name, 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, |
