July 28th - Tuesday Post

What a trying time we have gone through over the last couple of weeks! We have had 2 wonderful Women of God get their promotion to Glory! What a happy time but a sad time also. As I was thinking of these two ladies, I could not help but to think back over the last couple of months and see how much they loved the Lord and how much they loved to Worship their God! God reminded me that they were just getting in practice for a life time of Praise and Worship! They were preparing to meet the one they had longed for for many years!

So to you who read these, don't wait to late to give your life to the Lord and to all those who know the Lord as your personal Savior - don't wait to late to praise Him. Praise Him now and get into some practice in worshipping Him.

Just think, we will be doing in forever!

July 9th - Receiving What thus saith the Lord

What a blessing it is to be able to receive a FRESH WORD from the Lord on a daily basis. I am just so thrilled that every time that I get in the Word of God, there is always a word for me for that day! It is a word that is never too early and it is a word that is never too late. The Word of God is always on time and it will speak to the very situation that you are going through.

The scriptures tells us to be "....rooted and grounded in the Word..." and it also says to "...study to show thyself approved...."! As I preached last night at the church, we must know what the Lord is saying to us, more now than ever before. If we know what He is saying then there is no where that we walk that He will not bless us and walk with us!

If you are reading this and wonder if there is a FRESH WORD for you - get into the Word and find out - I just believe that He will speak to you also.

God bless - Pastor Paul Chapman

June 10, 2009 - Expecting from the Lord

Wow! It is has been a while since my last posting but can I tell you that it is because the Lord has been blessing and sharing so much with me that I just cannot always put it in words!

I am just truly amazed at how the Lord will birth something in you and as you grow in the Lord and keep you eyes on Him, that dream that He has birthed in you begins to grow and begins to show just as a lady who is ready to deliver a child. Just as the lady with child, she eats and rest for not just herself but for the child inside of her. I truly believe that God expects us to do the same when he has birthed a dream in us. We must eat and rest so that we can be our best during this time of carrying this dream.

Pastor Paul, how can we do this? Great question, the Bible tells us that we should, "pray continually", that we should "read the Word of God daily" and we should spend time in "praise and worship". When we do these things, we can rest assured that God will do His part and we can carrying this dream to full term. Not only will we get to carry this to full term but we will see this dream come forth and grow as the Lord said it would.

So today, let me encourage you and say that if God has birthed something in you, follow through on that dream and you nurture that dream until God has brought you to full term and births that dream for everyone else to see.

God bless you as you "Expect from the Lord" today!

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

hello to all who read this blog - we pray that you are receiving the blessings from the Lord and that you are not just receiving but you are also being a blessing to God.

We are in the middle of a three day revival with Sister Rita Sharp and Remnant Ministries and my how I am realizing that God is more awesome everyday that I commune with Him. His presence is what I long for everyday! Once you have experienced His REALNESS you know when FAKE comes around and you move quickly away from those who are FAKE and want HIS REALNESS more and more.

As I was sitting here, I could not help but to think of the song that says, "....it's the realness of the Spirit....." and I don't know about you dear Saints of God but I want the realness of the Spirirt.

God bless you all and if you get a chance come on by and hear a Word from the Lord.

We are living in the greatest time as Christians. There is so much for all of us to do to continue to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ and it is almost time to take our flight to Glory!

So as you can see, we areally are living in the best time for the believer!

Joyce Meyers wrote a book several of years ago entitled, "The Secret to True Happiness". If only people would realize that true happiness is attainable through Jesus Christ!

Let me take this time to invite you to the Beckley Praise Church to hear Sister Rita Sharp with Remnant Ministries. She will bless you and your family.

God bless all of you who read this!

As I began to look at this cartoon this morning and hear so many people speak of not receiving from the Lord during services. I got to thinking, do we have our cups turned up ready to receive from the Lord or do we continue to come to services with our cups turned over to were we cannot receive from the Lord!

We will receive from the Lord if we are expecting and anticipating on receiving from the Lord! The scriptures says, "I will enter into HIS gates with thanksgiving and praise." If we go in not expecting we will leave with not getting anything.

The next time that you go into the church, go in with your arms upraised in the praise and thanksgiving and just go in Worshipping the Lord and I guarantee if you do that - you will leave the sanctuary receiving blessings fromt he Lord!

April 15th, 2009, Wednesday

As I sit here and anticipate the services for tonight, I get really excited about what the Lord is going to do! The Lord tells us that if we will come into His house with Praise and Thanksgiving, He will meet us there. Tonight, as I go in to the services, I will go in with only Praise and Worship on my mind and on my heart!

I know that if I do that, He will fill the House with His presence! I pray that all of us, will enter into His house with praise and worship!

God bless you as you worship the Savior of our Souls!
