OUR WORLD NEEDS PRAYER!!!

PEOPLE OF GOD!!!  Remember, "For We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places" (Ephesians 6:12 NKJV).  Stay focused.  Stay prayerful.  Stay strong, trust God and never live in fear.  Go forward!

*** NOTE ***

Dear Friend, if you are in the Body of Christ please join us in serious prayer for our Families, our Parents and our Children. 

What We Believe...

It is our belief that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.  Christ died on the cross so that our sins can be forgiven.  Accepting Christ as our personal Lord and Saviour is what makes us saved and  it allows us to be "filled" with the Holy Spirit.  Serving the Lord is what makes us worthy of the blessings and the joys promised.  We love the Lord.  We serve the Lord.  We love one another.  We support one another. 

Our task is to preach and teach the Word of God to the people of God in such a way as to move us to make choices and changes in our lives that will allow God to have His way in and through us.  Everyone, regardless of age, race, gender or religious "affiliation" needs to know that Jesus Christ died on the cross for their sins and all Christ asks in return is that we form a personal relationship with him and and receive the Holy Spirit.

- - - - - - - - - - -  

Here, I have to warn you that this personal relationship with Christ, if it is true, if it is based on faith and love and trust, it can bring you everything you desire in life.  The warning is needed because others may not have that same level of faith, love and trust that you might have and subsequently they might not understand or appreciate the "new you."  Keep growing and going forward and God will give you what you need in due time. 

Hang in there because the changes in your life will be worth the effort.
