As I write this, we have only one more scheduled “revival service”.
Come to the door marked “staff” and go straight into the room you see
That in no way, shape, or form means that Revival is over. Revival
should now be our mindset, our focus, our plan, our prayer and our
determination. What a time we’ve had! Souls are coming to the Lord,
lives are being changed, people being filled with the Holy Ghost, young
people coming to prayer meeting on Monday nights, and people
wanting to be baptized in water and join the church….
HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!
But we cannot give in, give up, or give over. We must stay focused
and continue to press in to the Lord. Bro. Nolan preached to us this
weekend that the Word said “seek me and live”. I can only truly live
IN Christ and I can only truly be IN Christ when I’ve sought Him,
found Him and thrown myself at His feet.
And how the Lord loves us! Sunday morning, the Holy Ghost
repeatedly called for someone to come to Him. I’ve not been broken
like that in a long time. I felt the weight of their soul and was torn up
that they did not respond. My prayer has been “Lord have mercy”. I’m
glad to tell you that God is a merciful God, but He also will not always
strive with man. If the Lord has been dealing with you concerning
anything, MOVE IN OBEDIENCE TO HIM!!!!!! If you have lost
loved ones, tell them about the Lord. Don’t wait on someone
else…..talk to them. We don’t know what the future holds! We don’t
know when the Lord is coming nor do we know when we may be
called home. BE READY!
Part of this Revival is also the fact that God is responding to our prayer
& fasting. Every service, people are turning in their red
“AFTERWARD” cards. Just in the last 3 services, 33 cards have been
turned in. That’s 33 answered prayers directly tied to our 40 days of
prayer and fasting. That’s why the devil tried so hard to push against
your efforts. He knew he was losing ground! Oh HALLELUJAH!!!
And for those of you that have yet to fill out your cards, YOUR
AFTERWARD IS COMING!!!!!!! I truly believe that God is already
working on the scene. Don’t give up, don’t doubt and don’t weaken.
Stand strong and your afterward will be here before you know it!
Sunday morning is the day designated for CHURCH
MEMBERSHIP. If you want to join our church as a new member or
by transfer, meet Pastor Terry at 9:30 in the Christian Life Center.
PLEASE JOIN US
as you enter the door. Please call the church office (864-476-2977) and
let us know that you plan on attending.
Sunday night will be a special time of praise, testimony and baptism.
God has been so good to us and we need to testify about His greatness.
We’ll do that with singing, sharing words of what God has done and
also share with those as they testify of the old man dying and becoming
a new man. That is what water baptism is all about. If you plan on
being baptized, call the church office at the above listed number and let
us know. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A TIME!!!!!!
This Sunday is Palm Sunday and I’ll be preaching about “Halfway
Salvation” and next Sunday (April 4th) will be Easter. I believe we
have a very unique Easter Service entitled “Who Is This King of
Glory?” planned for you. Once the service starts, there will be no
stopping and starting. CHOIR WILL PRACTICE this Sunday, March
th rd
28 , at 5 PM, Dress Rehearsal will be Saturday, April 3 , at 10 AM.
What a wonderful time for you to bring your family and friends to
worship the Lord…..who knows, your AFTERWARD might just be
answered on this Easter Sunday. Make your plans to be here!!!!!!!!!

 ADDICTION It’s asking for forgiveness

If you’ve never faced addiction Amen!

And the scars that can remain March 30 , at 6:30 P.M.
How it ruins families
Make the strongest seem so weak
When temptation is the uttermost
Of everything they’ll seek
The lure of something special
That they think will fill a need
But instead becomes destructive
To the person they could be
How you wake up in the morning
With just one thing on your mind
When your life becomes a habit
Just filled with endless time
For addiction is a sickness
But it has a cure
It takes a willingness to change your life
From the things that you endure
But it will be a destination
Reached one step at a time
It starts with knowing Jesus
And His mercy your will find
Faith alone can heal all hearts
Give you strength to overcome
Change the person that you are
Repair the things you have done
There is hope on the horizon
Your future can be bright
A second chance awaits you
If you turn your eyes to Christ
Each day is a new beginning
A chance to be renewed
To walk out of the darkness
That has a hold on you
The first step to recovery
Is making changes in your life
