Pastor Jasmine announced during her time here in Atlanta in October that she is asking to be under the covering of Apostle Randy Morgan.  So, as a church family, we rejoice together with Pastor Jasmine about what God is doing in her area.

Happy Thanksgiving

From Apostle and Pastor Randy and Johnny Layton-Morgan

 

It’s Thanksgiving, again.  I can not believe that this year is nearly at an end.  I love Thanksgiving because it gives me the opportunity to look back over the year and reflect on what I’m Thankful for and to do an evaluation of the past and begin forecasting for the next season of our life as a church family.

 

I am so thankful for all that God has done this year.  This has been the year of “Growing for Sowing.”  We have grown and God is giving us more and more responsibility to sow into the lives of our city, community, and nation.  We’ve been introduced to a dynamic prophetic couple – Barry and Ruth Cooper – www.AboveAllNames.org.  The life of our church has more freely flowed into the prophetic and apostolic.  God has birthed a dozen or so new ministries (check them out).  We’ve added many members.  Souls have been saved.  Our evangelism team under the direction of Evangelist Brian has been traveling and making a powerful impact.  A church has been started across the country and is beginning with our help and love – City on a Hill.  I went out of country for the first time and preached in Mexico City at Comunidad Cristiana de Esperanza  - http://ccemexico.org/.  The worship ministry (the Levites) have thrived under dynamic leadership and empowerment.  My wonderful spouse, Pastor Johnny Layton, has moved into his pastoral role more than ever.  The staff has come into powerful agreement, and God has just blessed immensely. 

 

In all of this, we are so thankful for all of you, our dearest church family.  I can’t tell you how much it means to us to have such a loving, unified church that pursues hard after our God and King.

 

We love you, Happy Thanksgiving, and Remember, Our God Reigns,

 

Apostle and Pastor Randy and Johnny Layton-Morgan

 

 

 

November Home Groups, The Vision for 2008, and Learning to EAT AGAIN!!!

By:  Apostle Randy Morgan

 

For too long, so many of my children have not sat at the table to eat what I have placed before them, but I am calling them to return and be nourished, even now,” was the word God spoke to my heart as I was driving last week.  Right before the Word came, the image by Norman Rockwell to the left was put in my heart.  I suddenly felt God saying that it was time to learn to be nourished and that 2008 would be the year of “Restoring the Blessing of the Table.”  It would be the year that we learn to:

·    Stir our Hunger for the Word

·    Stir our Hunger for God’s Presence

·    Crave the nourishment of fellowship

·    Recognize The Father at the Head of the Table, His Rules, His Family, His Ways, and His Table Disciplines, as well as the joy at the table of the Lord.

·    Why He chooses to “Prepare the table before us in the Presence of our enemies???”

·    The church, Her Role in the distribution of the spiritual food in the earth and spiritual realm

·    The times for the main course and the times for desserts…

 

This is the time for us to learn how to come to the table of the Lord and feast through the study of His Word, Worship, and fellowshipping with one another. 

 

For the rest of November, all home groups will be meeting at the church on Tuesdays to eat at “the common table.”  We will be coming together to eat dinner every Tuesday for the rest of the month.  During the meal, I will share brief insights into the coming year for the whole ministry and how that is going to affect us as a church.  We’re also going to use the physical dinner as a “Prophetic Declaration and Act” to prophesy our “feasting on the things of God in 2008.”  Our declaration shall become, “We SHALL BE NOURISHED NOW MORE THAN EVER.”

 

Pastor Joan’s Home group will be responsible for this coming Tuesday evenings sides.

Pastors’ Corner with Pastor Angela and Pastor Joan

Faith

Faith. The word needs no more description than to just be typed. Faith can be put in, held onto, stood upon, and relied upon. We know that faith can move a mountain and can keep us when nothing else can. For some, it can get shaky, while for others it is steadfast and unmovable. Whatever the situation that you find yourself standing in right now, faith can get you through. Our God is a faithful, unchanging, unmoving, and always loving. Place your faith in the right place and know that He is God.

Heb 11:1-3 1Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. 2This is what the ancients were commended for.

 3By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible

Confession of Faith

 

God in all His completeness dwells in Christ. The fullness of His nature and power lives embodied in Him.  Christ has everything God has.  In Christ there is all of God in a human body.  The complete being of the Godhead resides in Him.  All the wealth of God’s being in Him as a living form.  I am in union with Christ.  The fullness of God’s nature and being that dwell in Him are now in me.  In union with Christ I am joined to that same fullness by a living connection of my spirit with Him; I have everything that I need to have.  All this is because of who Jesus is and what He did for me.  I am filled with the fullness of God’s nature, eternal life.  I am filled with the fullness of God’s love, for God is love.

What is The 150???

 

Scriptural basis for GROWING:

So pray to the Lord of the harvest to force out and thrust laborers into His harvest (Matthew 9:38)

Great multitudes followed Jesus (Matthew 4:25).

Great multitudes gathered together unto Him (Jesus) (Matthew 13:2).

Great multitudes came unto him having with Him those who were lame, blind, dumb, and maimed and many others and cast them at Jesus’ feet and He healed them … and the multitudes were amazed (Matthew 15:30).

The multitudes resorted to Him (Jesus) and He taught them (Mark 2:13).

And the believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both men and women (Acts 5:14)

The Word increased and the number of disciples increased (Acts 6:7)

The Hand of the Lord was with them and a great number believed and turned to the Lord (Acts 11:21)

 

We are always setting goals here at New Covenant for higher, greater, more excellent, and more powerful service to God.  Without a vision people perish and cast off all restraint, so goals are vital for any group to thrive and grow, especially in the Kingdom.  God has given us a vision and a message that will reach the nations, help revolutionize lives, and lead souls into a relationship with our God and King.  With that in mind, in order to fulfill the vision that God has given New Covenant Church of Atlanta, we must grow even beyond the awesome growth we’ve seen through the years – we need many more people.  Not just to sit in pews, but laborers, ready to get to work for the demonstration of God’s plans and purposes.  So, a goal has been set - 150 people as our base attendance and beyond.  

 

Will you set your faith in agreement?  Will you call friends, family, loved ones, those who haven’t been to church in a while?  Will you send cards, e-mails, etc.?  Will you call it forth in prayer?  If so, thank you.  God is going to do amazing things here in this Body of Believers.  We need the exponential power of unity and growth to continue here at New Covenant – to breakthrough the 100 or so mark in attendance, to increase in order to sow out into the world.  Let’s reach higher than we’ve ever reached before

 

A corporate confession based on the Scriptures above, say this out loud:

 

Where Jesus was, multitudes followed Him, gathered together with Him, were healed by Him, and taught by Him.  Father, your Word makes it plain that where Jesus is, people come – we call them in through prayer first.  You add to the church and I thank you now that the church is being added to in number.  The Word will increase, so I thank you that as the people grow in their understanding and hearing of the Word that you will increase.  Your Word increases and the people grow in their understanding of the Word; therefore, people will be added to the church. In the Name of Jesus
