Thank
you!!! And INVOKE!!! By: Apostle Randy Morgan New
Covenant, thank you so much for your prayers and support. Pastor Johnny and I are so grateful for
this church family. As many of you
know, we have recently, continued to face physical challenges. However, we trust God and know Him to be
our sufficiency in all of this (2 Cor. 12:7-10). What an awesome team of leaders we have as
a church!!! When we are not there, the
team of leaders still carries on with power and demonstration. I’m so grateful for a church that is not
built on who I am but is built on a sure foundation, the King of Glory. I (AR) am
also so thankful for all the calls, voice mails, e-mails, cards, and e-cards
wishing me a happy birthday. You all are
such a blessing. I have been hearing the word “Invoke” over and over in my spirit. When I have gone to God in prayer, recently,
every time I go to speak, I hear the word “invoke.” So, Deacon Tonna and I began an
investigation as to what this might mean. We came up with this definition: to petition for help or support; to appeal
to or cite as authority 2: to call forth by repetitious and continual
speaking and singing particular scriptures or cited authority. 3: to make an earnest request
for; 4: to put into effect or operation. I believe what God is saying to me in this
time, this very strategic time,
even the next 2-3 weeks, it is time for this army to begin to “Invoke”
specific direction, to begin to appeal to God’s strength, to cite His Word,
to call forth by repetitious, faithful meditation in that Word, to make
earnest request for, and to put into effect and operation, the plans and purposes
of God. I believe that right now, today, it is time for you to find the
promises of God concerning your situations and the situations of this
ministry. It’s time to “INVOKE” God’s
promises. If you are sick – by His Stripes you were
healed (Isa. 53:5-6) If you need financial provision – My God
supplies all your needs (Phil. 4:19) If you are depressed – In His presence is
the fullness of joy (Psalm 16:11) For this church – So pray to the Lord of the harvest to force out and
thrust laborers into His harvest (Matthew 9:38) For this church – Great multitudes followed Jesus (Matthew 4:25). For this church – Great multitudes gathered together unto Him (Jesus)
(Matthew 13:2). For this church – 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). For this church – The multitudes resorted to Him (Jesus) and He taught
them (Mark 2:13). For this church – And the believers were the more added to the Lord,
multitudes both men and women (Acts 5:14) For this church – The Word increased and the number of disciples
increased (Acts 6:7) For this church – The Hand of the Lord was with them and a great
number believed and turned to the Lord (Acts 11:21) I encourage you today, begin to invoke the
power and authority of God. Appeal to
His Strength and ability. Occults and new age have tried to copy the word “invoke” and use it
for their purposes, but the truth is when we truly invoke the authentic power
and promises of God, then true and authentic results come to pass. This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth (Invoke), but you shall meditate in
it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written
in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have
good success (Joshua 1:8) I will also meditate (Invoke) on all Your work, And talk of Your
deeds (Psalm 77:12) Call upon
(Invoke) Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall
glorify Me (Psalm 50:15) As for me, I will call upon (Invoke) God, And the Lord
shall save me (Psalm 55:16) |

Pastors’ Corner with Pastor Angela and Pastor Joan Helping
Feed the Family of God |

1+1 There is an
old rock song that talks about one being the loneliest number that there ever
was. For us, as we walk this earth, we find ourselves often drawn to others because
e enjoy or need the company of another. When we draw to others for
friendship, comfort, support, etc. we often find ourselves feeling better
than we did when it was just us. God calls us to come together, and where two
or more are in agreement, he also will be there (Matt. 18-20), but we must do
so in his name. when we get together and give God
the praise, honor, and glory we will be drawn together more often for more
celebration. Get with
someone today and give a praise report, be an encourager, an extension of the
love of God. Ecc. 3:9-10 9 Two are better
than one, 10
If one falls down, |
Weekly Confession For with my heart I believe unto righteousness and with
my mouth confession is made unto salvation. My tongue has power of life and death. I speak the word of God that is in line with
His will for my life. When I open my mouth to speak the word of God that is
in line with His will, the heavens are sanctioned and God brings His word
from the supernatural realm and manifests it in to the natural realm. I confess Gods word today for Peace, Joy, perfect
health and prosperity in every area of my life. Jesus who is my salvation rescued me from sin and
death. I am healed, cured, preserved, kept safe and sound, I
am kept from spiritual death by forgiving sin and its effects, and I have a
new life and a new heart |

By Deacon Tonna
Eidson One day when I was worshiping and praying in the Spirit, I noticed myself sounding like various instruments in my prayer language. That started me thinking about musical instruments and how they represented things in Bible times.
When they are plucked by man they exude sweet sounds. It makes me think about our lives and how much are we to exude sweet sounds when the world is plucking at us right and left. And the vibration, it reminds me of the anointing we have on our lives, that even after we make the first sound, it keeps moving in the spirit.
Psalm 66:1 says “Make
a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands.” We are self-sounding instruments
(as God says in His Word), “Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise“ (Matthew 21:16). It’s what we
were created for!
But also, as we know, sometimes an instrument may be out of key or off beat. We can take a lesson from Ras Robinson, founder of God’s Fullness Online who says that for over fifty years his wife had often had an opposing idea to what he said. He says she expressed it nicely and consistently. After being totally convinced he could never change her, he decided to listen carefully to what she had to say and see if he could in some way harmonize with her to a greater good. It worked! Harmony now rules their home and they make decisions together--they insist on unity in all things. Is there a someone in your life, who by their very core personality, rubs you the wrong way? Is there friction and agitation in your heart toward them? Ras says, “Broaden your bandwidth to include that person, seek with all you might to be one with them.” You can‘t agree with everybody but the Bible does teach us to try. Matthew 5:25 says, “Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him…” and in Romans 15:5-6 we read "Now may the God who gives perseverance and encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus, so that with one accord you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ."

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 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 |
For God's Glory,
Pastors Randy and Johnny
