A Sanctuary for Saints and Sinners in Need of a Saviour. Luke 18:9-14
Overview of Prayer Meeting November 17th, 2024
Even though we were planning on having a regular church service with a message, the Holy Spirit led us to spend the day in prayer and to have a prayer meeting instead.
But first to back up though to last Sunday, November 10th. A brother in the Lord came to the service, a first time visitor who normally attends a Baptist church (and our church is more Pentecostal & Book of Acts). The first thing we discerned is that he came in down-hearted, depressed and oppressed. Why that is notable is the fact that during the day in prayer, both Pastor Richard and myself were being attacked with the same spirits but we didn’t know where it was coming from, other than from the devil. You know, sometimes, we are picking up in the spirit what is happening around us, but the devil lies and makes us believe that there is something the matter with us, when in reality we’re picking up (perceiving and discerning) what is going on around us or those we are about to come in contact with. That’s why we need the Holy Spirit to give us those gifts of discerning of spirits.
Such was the case when this brother came to church. During the day we were picking up what the devil was harassing this brother with. But it didn’t stay that way! As we started worshipping the Lord, praising Him and started praying, things began to break off in the spirit in Jesus’ name. We were able to pray for him and his family and when he left, he left with a skip in his step, having received a touch from the Holy Spirit and the demonic assignments were broken off of him. He also received an animated Action Bible to share with his sister’s children who he felt a need to pray for in the prayer service. James 5:16 Amplified Bible says; “16Therefore, confess your sins to one another [your false steps, your offenses], and pray for one another, that you may be healed and restored. The heartfelt and persistent prayer of a righteous man (believer) is able to accomplish much [when put into action and made effective by God--it is dynamic and can have tremendous power].”
Also, a few weeks before that, we had another first time guest come to church. This was amazing, because as he walked in the doors (the worship had already started), he was very taken back and had to sit down immediately as the presence of the Lord was overtaking him, he almost couldn’t stand up. He couldn't even speak and was on the verge of tears as the power of the Holy Spirit ministered to him.
So, that’s what happens as the Holy Ghost church prays. Ephesians 6:18 says; “18With all prayer and petition pray [with specific requests] at all times [on every occasion and in every season] in the Spirit, and with this in view, stay alert with all perseverance and petition [interceding in prayer] for all [e]God’s people.”
The Holy Spirit is there, deliverance happens, prophetic words are given, the Lord’s Supper is shared and so much more. Every church service we celebrate communion as it’s important for the body to partake in the breaking of bread and drinking the cup, 1 Corinthians 10:16-17. This is what the Lord desires to do in your life too. The same happened this Sunday as we worshipped, prayed and had communion, the Holy Spirit spoke (click here to read the prophecy), prayers were prayed and we know the answer is at hand. Amen!

Balaam - In and Out of Insanity For The Love of Money - Message 3 - November 3rd, 2024
In 2 Peter 2, the Apostle Peter is talking about the rise of false prophets and God’s impending judgment on them, and it’s in verse 15-16 that He compares them to the false teacher Balaam.
2 Peter 2:15-16 Amplified Bible;“15 Abandoning the straight road [that is, the right way to live], they have gone astray; they have followed the way of [the false teacher] Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the reward of wickedness; 16 but he was rebuked for his own transgression: a mute donkey spoke with a man’s voice and restrained the prophet’s madness.”
It’s interesting to see that it was a mute donkey, maybe it couldn’t even utter a bray. Maybe she was a special donkey. There may be a few special donkey’s in God’s house, that have a word of the Lord for the mad Christians. The ones that have allowed the love of money to drive them insane, even as Balaam was driven to insanity and madness. There are a few special donkey’s that are now speaking into the lives of mad Christians today. Prophets trying to stop them in their track because they can’t see signs on the road that are warning them, they can’t hear any more, they are deaf and dumb in the spirit because of their hardness of heart that’s allowed them to love money more than God.
That wasn’t in my notes, it just came out and it’s a good word for someone.
This word madness in 2 Peter 2:16 means the following in Greek; “..."contrary-beside" ,"internal perspective regulating behavior" , "beside oneself," madness; insane (irrational) behavior, describing someone acting "out of their mind" (used only in 2 Pet 2:16).
How many are acting the same way today? According to the Bible, you’re supposed to have a sound mind, God hasn’t given you a mad mind. How many are full of fear, doubt, unbelief, worrying about tomorrow, trying to secure themselves in this world by the love of money? You don’t have to stay there.

Vision
Our desire is to advance Christianity by teaching and preaching the religious tenants, doctrines, and observances associated with the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, according to the Holy Bible in both the Old and New Testament.
We believe in the Baptism in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues and the Gifts of the Holy Spirit to be in operation according to I Corinthians 12.
What We Believe
- We believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Creator of heaven and earth and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord.
- We believe Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary.
- We believe Jesus was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day He arose again from the dead.
- We believe He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty, whence He will come to judge the living and the dead.
- We believe in the communion of the saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and everlasting life.
- We believe that there is no other name or person but Jesus Christ, by which a person can be saved.
- We believe in all the gifts of the Holy Spirit and with the evidence of speaking with new tongues.
- We believe not one soul should perish into eternity without Jesus, but that all should be saved.
- We believe in the Great Commission. "And He said to them, 'Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover". Mark 16:15-18
- Acts 5:42; "And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they kept right on teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ."
- We believe that the doctrine of ‘eternal security’ or ‘once saved always saved’ is not true. Every Christian still has a free will to keep walking with Christ or to turn away. It’s what one does and how they live between being born again and dying that counts. It’s not how you start the race by becoming born again, but how you finish the race. We’re to run the race (the Christian life) with perseverance and not look back so that we cross the finish line victorious and win the prize (2 Timothy 4:7). Works of righteousness need to accompany our faith in Jesus Christ because faith without works is dead (James 2:20). God’s grace is made available to every Christian to resist temptations when they come as we know the devil is relentless in coming to rob, steal and destroy, ultimately to get them to back-slide (John 10:10).
Here are a number of Bible scriptures to back that up;
- Hebrews 6:4-6; “4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6 [a]if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.”
- 2 Peter 2:20; “For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning.”
- 2 Corinthians 13:5; “ Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you [a]are disqualified.”
- Luke 9:62; “But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”
- Matthew 7:21-23; “21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’”
