Special Services with Michael Easter

newlife — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 20:53:28 +0000

God wants to give you an abundant and fruitful life.

In a country like ours it’s pretty easy to accumulate a bunch of stuff. And still feel unsatisfied. You may have never thought of it like this before, but that desire for more is actually from God. It’s just that we misdirect it to things, instead of to Him and the abundant and fruitful life that He desires for us. And so we feel deep down like there has got to be more to life than this.

Jesus told some of His friends, "I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever remains in me will bear much fruit.” Fruit such as love, joy, peace, patience, and goodness. Being in relationship with Jesus brings the truly abundant life that we all want. It brings that much sought after satisfaction.

Jesus is inviting you today to the abundant life.

Join us for a special series of services on September 15, 17, and 19 with guest speaker Michael Easter that will focus on healing, deliverance, miracles, and Spirit baptism. If you need a miracle, please come expecting. If you need to receive the Holy Spirit, or know someone who does, this is the time!

We had a great back-to-school service last Sunday night! Hopefully everyone is settling back into their routines. This is a great time to renew consecrations and make sure you have regular times of prayer, fasting, and Bible reading in your schedule.

We are currently in our twenty-one days of prayer and fasting for our revival. Take time to intercede for our revival services. Please remember to pray for the sale of our building when you pray.

We have special revival services scheduled with Michael Easter on September 15, 17, and 19. These services will focus on healing, deliverance, miracles, and Spirit baptism. If you need a miracle, please come expecting. If you need to receive the Holy Spirit, or know someone who does, this is the time!

Monday, August 23, we will begin 21 days of prayer and fasting to prepare for these services. Everyone is encouraged to pray daily for our special services. Additionally, please join the following corporate prayer meetings when possible: 30 minutes before evening services in the prayer rooms; Friday night prayer meetings, from 8 pm to 10 pm in the sanctuary; and a special all-church prayer meeting on Wednesday, September 8. Pray for the following: the free-flowing move of God's Spirit, for God to lead you to people who need Him, for the effectiveness of our advertising campaign, and for those who have known the Lord but who are not living for Him.

Everyone is also encouraged to participate in regular fasting during this time. It is recommended that everyone who is able take one day of fasting each week during these three weeks. Others may want to fast more.

Last Sunday night, small commitment cards were passed out that provide room for three names to be listed. Each person was asked to write down the names of three people they would invest in by praying for them, sharing their testimony with them, and inviting them to church. If you did not receive a card, they are available in the foyer.

We will have special services with Evangelist Michael Easter on September 15, 17, and 19. These services will focus on healing, deliverance, and Spirit baptism. I will share more with you tonight on how we can prepare for these special services. Please be in prayer about these services.

We will continue our series on spiritual fruit this Wednesday night. I want to thank you for your faithfulness to attend Wednesday nights. Faithfulness to Bible study and the regularly scheduled services of the church is a key to spiritual success. Worship, hearing the preached and taught Word of God, and fellowship give us the spiritual and emotional strength needed to be victorious.

I also want to thank you for the good charity offering that was received last Sunday evening. Your giving will go to help several families who are in need. One person testified of receiving a gift of three times what she gave in the offering. It is a joy to give!

We are having a blessed summer. Our Wednesday night services are being attended very well, and there is a sense of expectancy about what God is doing. If you have not been present on Wednesday evenings, I would like to encourage you to attend as I teach a series of lessons on the fruit of the Spirit. If we are truly followers of Jesus, there will be evidence of this in our lives. If we are truly alive spiritually, there will always be spiritual fruit. Join us as we explore the specific virtues and characteristics that the Holy Spirit cultivates in the lives of those who walk in the Spirit, and he will also discuss how we play a crucial role in this process as we prepare the right conditions for the Spirit to work in our lives.

This is the time of year when some of our college students leave and when our children and youth prepare to return to school. Please keep them in your prayers.

Please be in prayer for our upcoming revival, September 15, 17, and 19. Be thinking of who you can invite. It will be a week of miracles!
