The Final Goodbye will be leading the worship in our service this Sunday. With a heart for worship and a desire for people to experience the love of God, we will be blessed by their presence with us. They will also lead the worship in the ARK service. They are from Orlando, FL, and are presently on a tour, so we have the wonderful opportunity of receiving from them and being an encouragement to them. Here is a link to one of their videos. Watch it and be blessed:  THE FINAL GOODBYE 

Last week we began looking at the SIGNS OF THE KINGDOM. I plan on sharing Pt. 8 of this series this Sunday as we continue to see some of the evidences that the Kingdom is manifesting in our lives. It is exciting for all of us to learn these powerful truths together and to continue to grow together. Knowing how to walk in the reality of the Kingdom of God is the adventure we were created to experience. You are much more powerful than you may imagine. By learning who you are in Christ, and how to live from that place of truth, we experience the Kingdom. Hope to see you Sunday!

Some have asked about the prophetic word I released two Sundays ago.  I have been praying into it. I received it during worship at our Weds. night service on August 22. I prayed about it and then released it publicly in our Sunday service on Sept. 2nd. Since that time, we have purposefully been using the shout in our services much more. Also, in the last three Sundays we have experienced a shofar blowing. The first time was on August 26. We heard it blow several times....but no one in our service had a shofar or used it. We asked around.....The following Sunday the shofar was heard again during our worship service without anyone in the natural blowing it. This last Sunday, we had the Shofar blown by Tommy McCable during a corporate release of the shout and some prophetic decrees that were being released. Interestingly, when our shofar blew and finished another one blew (but not in the natural)....hmmmm. We have not mentioned this publicly but our Tuesday men's group discussed it and prayed about it we several testifying to hearing it.  So....we rejoice in the supernatural sound being released and let's continue to pray for the breakthrough in the realm of the Spirit the Father is calling us to bring about through obedience to His divine strategies. May the waves of glory come washing in upon us.

WAVES OF GLORY

Prophetic Word - Received Wednesday night, August 22 and released Sunday. September 2, 2012 - by Eddie Lawrence

On the 17th day of September watch the waves, the reeling and rocking. Know that I am the Lord who knows all things. My heart is to send the waves of my glory until men reel and rock under the weight of them. It is my power that changes what needs to be changed. 

I am calling you to pray, to shout, the release faith into the atmosphere of your homes, streets, in the city and region.

Do not underestimate what a shout can do. The enemy has silenced my worshipping warriors for too long. Begin to declare that the muzzle is being removed. Pray for boldness and courage. 

The sound of your voice is prcious to me. I created your voice. There is a void that is filled when you release your voice of praise. My Spirit moves from within you to impact the atmosphere where your voice is heard. My Word in your mouth is so important. My Word released from your mouth will move mountains. 

As I move the ocean by my decree, I will also move in response to your voice and release waves of glory.

It's awesome that together, the ARK and Grace House gave over $1000.00 through bringing our coins to church during August. As I shared last week, one of the things this money is doing is providing a Bore Well in India where the people are suffering from water shortage. This well will be dug to share God's love with these hurting people. The Pastor there is so grateful and will send us pics when the well is completed. The photo to the left is of a recent well that was supplied for a village in need.  More later....

This is a very fragile and tense time in the Middle East. Let's all increase our prayer for Israel, peace in Jerusalem, and throughout the Middle East. Our prayers matter. The enemy is at work through destruction and terrorism and we must prevail in prayer for strategy and wisdom to be given to all our governmental leaders, the leaders in Israel, and for the church to be faithful in intercession.

We had an awesome time at Christ Chapel last Sunday night and there are other encouraging things happening in our region. I mentioned a few of these in a Face Book testimony I share this week. Here it is:

Mikki will lead a night for the women of Grace House at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday night, September 25, at Grace House. This will be an inspirational and fun evening together. Please bring a finger food, appetizer, or dessert.....yum, yum, yum. Most of all, bring yourself and a friend.

We have a faithful group of powerful praying women who meet each Wednesday at 9:00 a.m. at our facility. You are invited to join with them. I remember a story of a guest who visited the Metropolitan Tabernacle where Charles Haddon Spurgeon preached week by week in the late 1800's. The church was exploding with growth and many souls were being saved. The guest asked the well-know pastor, "What is the secret of the growth of this church?" Right before the service started, Spurgeon carried the guest to a door in the basement of the church. He opened the door, and there in the room was a large group crying out to God in intercession. Spurgeon turned to the guest and said, "This is the secret!" Thank God for all of you who pray and travail before the Lord for those things on His heart.
