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.
