I took notes as Pastor Allan
began his message and present here an edited sermon.
Pastor began by looking
around and making a statement. “I don’t
see a building, I see a congregation standing in the throne room of the King. God is here today to bring healing and
deliverance to those who struggle and reach out for help.
Help is here in the presence
of Jesus, the one who paid for all our needs, and our sorrows can be met in
Him.
We are waiting on God. We are in a bumper Zone and God is stretching
us. No apology is necessary, as we give
permission for the Holy Spirit to take over the service according to His plan
and direction.
If we are not careful with
our attitude, we will find ourselves walking in the desert places.
The will of God was for the
children of Israel
to go forward and enter the promised land, but they complained, murmured and refused to believe. This caused them to wander for 40 years.
Open your eyes and ears to
see and hear what the Holy Spirit is saying today.
What is going on here is a
shift with coming changes to bring us out of our comfort zone. God desires to use you, but He wants a Holy
Vessel one who is willing to allow the Holy Spirit to work through. There is no room for pride or fear, so take
boldness as a friend.
Realize you are no longer the
person you once were, but you are now identified with Christ, and are sharing
the heart of God and His desire for our church.
We all meet at the cross and
leave our burdens there. The Bible tells
us that our sins are removed as far as the East is from the West and God does
not remember them any more.
God has made you Holy, so
your responsibility is to walk Holy.
God has made the provision,
and it is up to us to come and partake.
Blessings come with obedience to His Word.
Malachi 3:10 (NKJV) Bring all the
tithes into the storehouse, That
there may be food in My house, And
try Me now in this,” Says the Lord of hosts, “If I will not open for you the windows of heaven, and pour out for you such
blessing that there will not be
room enough to receive it.”
Today we are doing something
a bit different. If you placed your
tithes in the offering box at the back of the church; that is fine, but we are
going to take a special offering toward the purchase of this building.
Giving is also an act of
worship. We are not twisting arms,
because giving must be from a cheerful heart.
Invest in the future of this church, as we train leaders to go forth and
advance the Kingdom of God.
Ecclesiastes 3:1
- - To everything there is a season, A time for
every purpose under heaven: A time to be born,
And a time to die; A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted;
A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to
mourn, And a time to dance; - -
Don’t allow time to pass you by, but embrace each season in life.
Pastor
said, he preaches at funerals, but he doesn’t like funerals. They remind us that life is fragile and death
awaits us all.
When we receive Jesus and His
life, there is no fear of death, for we depart to be with Jesus in heaven. In the mean time, it is needful that we stay
here and serve our Lord.
Speak life giving words, and
when changes come, keep a good attitude, walking in faith, not in fear.

Life speaking words Amen. There are so many words of wisdom in your sermon note, Aunt Hazel.
How is your hubby? I hope all is well?
I read your comment on my recent post! That experience was very recent Aunt Hazel and God intervened. I declare over your son's case by the power in the Name of Jesus that that false accusation be pronounced closed. The Almighty God who showed up for me would do the same for you and your family in Jesus name.
God bless my dearest friend whom I would love to meet in person if the Lord permit.
much wisdom shared here.
I've always love the way the season reflects our stages in life. Amazing how nature works, and amazing how God works in our lives.
Thank you for sharing the Word. That counts strongly!!
