Youth Prayer on Monday nights

We have been so blessed by our Monday night Youth Prayer…. We are forever indebted to the Lord for allowing us to feel his presence time and time again…. Throughout this past year we have had some life changing prayer meetings and we want the Lord to know – we are so thankful! Thank you Jesus for meeting with us on Monday nights….. this past Monday night was no exception…. All day Monday you could feel this expectancy and you couldn’t wait to get to Youth Prayer…….Our youth leader wanted to start this prayer meeting out a little different…. We usually pray in our conference room, but our youth leader wanted us to pray in the main sanctuary….. We started out with some praise & worship and the Holy Ghost began to move right away….. it felt as if the Lord was just waiting on us to give him our praise so HE could do what HE does best by pouring out HIS spirit….. Since we had such a move of God on Sunday night – it was as if the anointing was still lingering in the sanctuary….. it was so powerful! Then our youth leader had a phone list of our congregation setting on the pulpit and asked every young person to pick out a member or family and go to where they sit in the Church and pray for that seat….. God honored our Youth Leader’s request and the Holy Ghost began to move in a powerful way…… The presence of God was moving on everyone and no one wanted to leave….. We never want to take Monday nights for granted..... Thank the Lord for your goodness and blessing our youth group….. We are so grateful for your many blessings! Get ready young people there’s no telling what God wants to do next Monday night…… We love you all!!!

Sunday Night Was Awesome

If you missed last night – get the CD! The service was unexplainable…. You could feel this expectancy as we started the service and as the praise team started to sing – the Holy Ghost started to move….. Before the choir sang – there was this wave that washed over the entire congregation and you knew that God was about to do something mighty….. As our Pastor got up to preach you could feel that God was not finished moving in our midst…. Our Pastor preached under a strong and anointing and toward the end he asked that we find a child and pray with that child…. The service began to break wide open and the Holy Ghost started doing a work…. Everywhere you looked children had their hands raised and tears were streaming down their cheeks…. And those that don’t have the Holy Ghost were seeking for it…. all you could do was weep as you looked around at these precious children reaching out to God…. But you know how God works – it did not just stay on the children…. Everyone was reaching out and getting a touch…. As you looked around the Church God was moving on everyone…. At that point our Youth Leader got up and told a vision that one of the young people had and once again another wave swept over us as we were rejoicing for what God is doing…. Some didn’t leave the Church until 11 p.m. – you didn’t want to leave the presence of God…We’re so THANKFUL for what God is doing…. There were two of the children that just couldn’t get enough…. Madison Rowell and Seth Clark…. Seth and Madi prayed earnestly for the Holy Ghost and were so close…. It’s just a matter of time they will be speaking in tongues….. it was so touching to watch them as the tears flowed down their little cheeks….. after the service Seth kept saying, I feel great! Logan Rowell was baptized in Jesus name last night also….. God is doing something with our children…Thank you Jesus!

No Limits - 2009

This conference was so inspiring!!!! The preaching was dynamic and the move of God was powerful! Not only were many prayers answered during this conference, but our Pastor received a specific word from the Lord! On Thursday Bro. Cody Marks came to our Pastor and his wife and prophesied over them….Thank you Bro. Marks for being sensitive and allowing God to use you to minister to our Pastor and wife…. Get ready Church God is going to answer our prayers and fulfill the promises. Just remember what was preached on Friday night – “I refuse to lose” God called our Pastor to the city of Ontario and God is going to bring the dreams and visions to pass…. This is OUR city so let’s go for it…. Thank you Bro. Marks for encouraging our Pastor to take authority over our city and see the promises come to pass…. Get ready young people!

JESUS WAS IN THE HOUSE!!!

Wow last night service was tremendous! Brother Buxton called Pastor Clark and told him that God gave him a message for our church family and our children. It always amazes me how God brings someone to give us a word right when we need it! Bro Buxton came and preached an awesome message to our church..I can not even describe in words what we all felt! God's presence was so strong in the services it brought us strait down to our knees on our face weeping and basking in his presence....He was God sent!! what he preached hit home to all of our families in the church! God used Bro. Buxton to speak to Pastor Clark and Sister Clark and others in the church. We has a body of Christ came together as one last night and prayed for our Pastor and Sister Clark....The bond that was put in our church was a bond from GOD! He preached on how we should not disobey or disrespect the man of God but to trust that he is going to lead us in the right direction. He preached how our children these days need us to restrict them from the things of this world more now then ever and that GOD is going to fill our church.. I can go on and on that's how awesome it was!

GOD definitely filled our cups last night and gave us the strength we need to run this race as a family united!!!!!
