It is hard to believe that in this New Year, 3 months have come and gone!

And with me saying this, I want to ask, "What have we accomplished for the Lord in these first 3 months of the New Year?"

The reason that I ask this question on this beautiful morning is because the scriptures tells us to Go and Tell everyone we see about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And as I awoke this morning and was praying, I asked God to place people in my path that I might be able to tell someone about the Love of Christ. In the world that we live in, there are people who are hurting and lonely; let us be a light and a help to all those who are hurting and lonely. Let us be food for their soul; let us be water for the thirst that they are experiencing; let us tell.....

Let me encourage everyone this morning to, "GO AND TELL".....

One Month to Live "Thirty Days with No-Regrets Life"

Starting tomorrow night at the Beckley Praise Church, located at 250 Elm Street, we will be starting a New Series "One Month to Live". This is a series that will cause us to relook at our way of living as a Christian.

What if you only had one month to live?

How would you make each day really matter?

What would you start and what would you stop, doing?

How would you related to others?

This series that we will begin on Wednesday, March 25th, 2009 at the Beckley Praise Church, will empower us to focus on being who God created us to be - passionate, fully alive, living with no-regrets.

Come and be with us as we explore what God has intended for us to do and intended us to be!

God bless you and hope to see you there!

The scriptures says, "Train up a child in the way that they should go and they will not depart from it....." As I was thinking about our children and the this world. If, we the church do not take a stand and train the children in the way that they should go then we are looking at a lost generation. We have a great responsibility church. We need to step up to the plate and begin doing what the Bible instructs all of us to do!

We must take our callings so very serious. If you are childrens church workers, Sunday School Teachers or just Children of God, we need to do everything we can in instructing our children the right way to go.

If the world is not trying to raise the children right then we MUST step up to the challenge.

God bless you - this was on my heart this morning and I just wanted to bring it to the fore front of this blog and say "Come on Church - let's take the stand that the world is looking for".

Today, as I was cleaning house and listening to the Gospel Radio Station, I could not help but to think of David when he stated in the scriptures "Create in me a clean Heart". As I was cleaning, I began to pray and ask the Lord to clean me all over. I continued to pray and ask God to watch over me and keep me that I may not sin against Him.

We must know that we can have a relationship with our Heavenly Father even when nothing is wrong, when all is going well, when we have not sinned or have sinned against someone else. We must continue to stay in the right relationship with HIM.

In the day and time that we are living in, the devil will try to trip us up and cause us to fall. That is why we must continue to pray and stay in a RIGHT relationship with our Heavenly Father. We must continue to call out to our God and when there is something that stands in our way we must call out to Him even more!

I am so glad that we have a Savior who is not to busy to take care of our needs! We have a direct line and we can call Him up when no one else wants to listen. This Savior that I am talking about is JESUS!

May God Bless You on this Day!

Friday, March 20, 2009 - What's on my heart....

As I awoke this morning, the Lord kept impressing upon my Spirit, "Making a World of Differences one Person at a Time" and as I was thinking about this, the scripture that came to me was the one that tells us to "Stand in the Gap". If there is ever a time that we need to "stand in the gap" for our family, our friends and our nation it is NOW!

People are wondering to and from searching for something and we have what they are searching for! Jesus Christ! For we believers know that HE is the answer to all of life's problems, all of life's questions and we know that when all else fails, Jesus never fails us!

The economy, Wall Street, the banking industries, mortgage companies are all saying they are at their lowest but I come to tell someone this morning that these business' that I just mentioned DO NOT control our God's resources. We serve a God of PLENTY! We serve a God of ENOUGH! We serve a God of OVERFLOW! We serve a God of ABUNDANCE!

We need to stay out of this state of fear of loosing things and know that our God said, "I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU"! I don't believe He said that in one aspect of our lives but HE proclaimed that over EVERY aspect of our lives.

May the Lord bless you today as you walk in God's resources for your Life!

What's Happening at Beckley Praise Church

Wow - were do I begin! The Lord has really been blessing us since the first of the January! We entered 2009 literally running for the Lord!

January 2009 - we started the year out in a 21 day prayer and fast and my how we seen the Lord bless the church for their obedience. We were blessed to see 5 people saved and numerous people have stated that their walk with the Lord has been renewed and they feel so strong in the Lord. As the pastor of this great church we stayed focused on the vision that God has given to us and we continued to preach the messages that the Lord has given to us to preach. We preached messages such as: Keep the Fire Burning, Walking in Increase, Steadfast and Unmoveable, Jesus is in the House, Now it is Revival Time..... By staying focused on the Word of God we were able to go into February with a SHOUT!

February 2009 - February 2009 started out with a Loud Shout from in our services. We started the 1st of February (Sunday Morning) out preaching "Promises of Revival" and the Holy Spirit just took over the next three weeks of Revival services and we were blessed to see 15 Saved or Rededicated, 4 Healings and 3 Received the Baptism of the Holy Ghost. The entire time that this Spirit of Revival is taking place our people were still in a Mode of Fasting and Praying for our services and for our lost. As we ended the Revival with Evangelist Steve Board, we continued to look ahead at what the Lord would want from Beckley Praise and what the Lord would want me to preach. We preached messages such as: The Dr's in the House, Just Because the Enemy has Said, Anti-Christ, What on Earth will be in Heaven..... Well, as you can tell we were running right out of February and right into March.

March 2009 - in the Month of March since we have been at the church we have considered March as a month to reach out and really capture the community and those surrounding the church. Every Sunday we entitled it a different theme.

1st Sunday in March - Community Sunday

2nd Sunday in March - Friend Sunday

3rd Sunday in March - Family Sunday

And this Sunday coming up we have declared this Sunday - Pack-A-Pew Sunday and the last Sunday in March will be Missions Sunday. We have really been blessed of the Lord the first 3 Sundays by seeing 6 souls come to the Lord and we are looking for more to come.

Brother Jeff Bennett http://wvjeff.blogspot.com , from the Kilsyth Free Will Baptist Church came and spoke on Wednesday, March 18th Missions Night and what a wonderful job he did.

Let me take this time to invite you to our services: we are located at 250 Elm Street in Beckley, WV and you can find us in between the Papa Johns Pizza and the Beckley Car Wash located on Robert C Byrd Drive. Come on by and be with us!
