THIS COMING SUNDAY - SEPTEMBER 3rd
MESSAGE - HOW BITTER ROOT JUDGMENTS HINDER PROPHETIC DESTINY
​​​​​​​

Have you ever made a bitter root judgment? "I'll never be hurt again!"...."I will never forgive him for what he did to me!"...."I'll not be like my Dad!"...."I swear I'll not be like my mother." These and many other such statements, when spoken in times of anger, resentment, and pain can have a very poisonous impact on our lives. They also can block and impede the God things in our lives and enslave us in a place of pain and bondage. What steps do we take to become liberated from the damage done in our lives not only from the pain others may have caused but also the continued problems we have because of how we have responded. These bitter root judgments are enemies to us. This Sunday I'll be teaching on HOW BITTER ROOT JUDGMENTS CAN HINDER YOUR PROPHETIC DESTINY. We see this in Scripture very plainly. Come worship and dive into the Word with us at Grace House. I believe there will be healing in the house this Sunday at 8:45 & 10:30 a.m.
 
DON'T MISS THE BIG SUNDAY AT GRACE HOUSE
We will be celebrating our 9th Anniversary, sharing vision for the future, and launching our Fall semester of small groups. It's going to be a BIG day at Grace House. We want our whole GH family to be present. You don't want to hear about what happens at this service second hand.

He was with us in January and our people are still talking about the word he shared with us. A great opportunity to pour into the arising generation and to touch people around the world.

Pastor Eddie will be ministering in South Korea for nine days preaching and teaching on the Ministering in Kingdom Power and Authority. He will be ministering to Leaders and students who are very hungry to know more about the Holy Spirit, His gifts, and power. Please pray that Pastor Eddie will hear clearly as he has the opportunity to minister prophetically to each person in attendance at the Spiritual Coaching Schools in which he will be ministering.There will be an opportunity to sow into this trip this coming Sunday at GH.

Also we are excited about Blake Kasmeir going to Vietnam and James Nesbit ministering in Israel in the month of March. We will be praying for them in our services and GH will also sow into these trips as well through your regular giving. In addition, we will also be sowing in the Ricketts ministry in Thailand as they reach the children who are suffering due to human trafficking. We are grateful to be able to sow into other ministries on a regular basis as well. God blesses the people who bless missions!
