An Important MessageThis Sunday: 5 Prophetic Words for Grace House for Right Now!
Since we met last Sunday there is has been a lot of supernatural activity. In the middle of this, I believe the Lord has shown me 5 words to release over Grace House. Yes, this is for us, and it is for RIGHT NOW. These words have been confirmed by one dream I had, two dreams that one of our deacons had just a couple of nights apart, as well as discerning the ways of the Lord in other things that have been happening around my life. I am excited to share these words with you. They are rooted in Scripture and are to have our attention RIGHT NOW. They hold some warning and much promise for our lives.
I encourage you to be at church on time Sunday at 9:00 a.m. Be in prayer to receive. Come with a heart focused on the Lord and full obedience to do His will. This Sunday will be a very focused time to receive revelation and strategy for our lives and the lives of our families. I do not often make such remarks, but this is one of those times that you do not want to miss out on because of the timing involved.
Please begin right now praying for God's grace on this special time of release and direction from the Lord.
Reports from Last Sunday
We are so grateful for the blessing of the Lord on our gathering last Sunday. The worship was awesome. God's Word was shared and the Lord's presence was so evident as we took communion together. Many CD's of the teaching have been given to sick people in the area and already reports are coming back of how God is drawing people closer to Him and raising people's faith to believe for their healing. Praise the Lord!
We are also grateful for the new people the Lord is sending to us who are plugging in and enjoying the love of God flowing in our midst.
Testimonies
The river was flowing this past Weds. night as our ARK and Grace House folks worshiped together. The prophetic began coming forth and we witnessed people being touched, weeping, healed and blessed. It was so refreshing and wonderful to behold.
As I shared last Sunday, I have been struggling with back pain for over a week now as a result of bending over and putting a pizza in the oven (go figure?). During the service Weds. night, a jolt of electricity hit me in the back area and all the pain left and I had full range of painless motion restored. Yeah God! It was so incredible. We also saw several other people healed.
Get this. Pastor Phillip got a word of knowledge about a bill or invoice for $278.00. A dear lady there had a power bill overdue for $278.00 and her power was to be cut off in two more days. A spontaneous offering was taken and the need met. Yeah God!
I saw two dear women at different times literally melt to their knees weeping as the prophetic word of the Lord was given to them. It was so obvious that God was doing a deep work in their hearts.
WE ARE PLANNING TO ONCE AGAIN THIS WEDNESDAY NIGHT TO COME TOGETHER AND LET THE RIVER OF REFRESHING FLOW. PLEASE PRAY ABOUT BEING A PART OF THIS.

Thankful for Life Groups...
We are so grateful for the togetherness that our life groups are enjoying.
This past week a few different people shared with me how much the Life Groups Ministry is touching their lives. I rejoice to hear about how our groups are praying for one another, ministering the Word to one another, going places together, building deep relationships. This is an important part of the family life of belonging to a local congregation.
If you have questions about being in a group or leading a group, just get with Hillard and Charlotte Matthews who lead our Life Groups ministry.
You are now able to view all the options on our new Life Groups website at

Our Next Grace House Mission Trip
Please be praying for the development of our next mission trip. About nine years ago the Lord really touched me deeply concerning the island nations. Since that time, I have had the opportunity to see the Lord do some amazing things in the Caribbean. We had an awesome time in Trinidad last year and this past April we saw God do a mighty work in Carriacou and Petite Martinque. It looks as if our next trip will be to Barbados with the possibility of island jumping to revisit Trinidad and Carriacou.
We will keep you posted on the details as they emerge. We will let you know the requirements for participating as well as costs and dates soon. There is no doubt that developing a missions heart is one of the greatest things a congregation can do.
Have A Laugh....
A Sunday school teacher asked her little children, as they were on the way to church service, "And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?" One bright little girl replied, "Because people are sleeping."
