Sunday May 23rd

Today in Sunday school Bro. Mark asked " Are you giving what you can't keep anyway...in order to gain what you cant lose?" Gods principles and promises are reveled in scripture as they relate to our possessions and money. Today we saw how our spiritual condition is connected to how we view and handle our possessions and money. relevant scriptures can be found in Matthew Chapter 6 and Matthew Chapter 13 and Luke chapter 3...

Prior to regular service today Pastor Carolyn asked several of us to go get a commode from the women's ministry house and bring the toilet to church ...and she asked us not ask any questions but there was sure to be a "Kodak Moment"...well in classic Pastor Carolyn fashion she has successfully used a toilet as an object lesson for today's church service...and in today's church service it was Pastor Hawk-I 's Birthday...Our pastor sat on the throne and had an opportunity to flush his problems away...

On a more serious note: Todays sermon from Pastor Hawk-I

The King of Kings, Lord of Lords

We are to integrate his character in to our lives...The Character of Christ...we are the temple and the Body..

.Mat 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

If we are emanating the love of God we will not demonstrate fear...we must employ the gifts that the lord has given us...we have been given great and precious promises....God will always empower us to accomplish what He want us to accomplish....Christ had no fear...let us have no fear and move by the Power of His spirit...for in Him we live and move and have our being...let us come together one mind and one spirit...remembering that Christ came to serve and not be served...

THE MOTHERS DAY GIFT !

One Year ago our Brother Gus came to Ocala Foursquare Church. He say's " I surrendered to God that day at this church and asked Him to give me the strength to stay sober. Today I am celebrating one year soberiety thanks to God. My soberiety date is May 10th 2009. I called my Mother today because it is Mothers day and she said that this is the best gift I could give her....a sober and happy son."
Brother Gus has been an encouragment to all of us , especially those of us who have been struggling with addictions . God is faithful and we celebrate with Gus on this very happy day .

GET A HOLD OF GOD ...AND GET A HOLD OF PEACE

Question? what are yopu doing in the desert when you can be on the mountain top? There may be life in the desert, but by no means is it abundant life! do you want to move on from the desert? than praise your way out! work your way out of the thornes and thistles and the dry place and PRAISE YOUR WAY TO PEACE through the desert. Praise the devil away. an inner change will bring forth an outer peace...peace comes from within and AN INWARD RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS WILL GIVE US OUR PEACE...THE PEACE WILL COME FROM FOLLOWING GODS PLAN NOT OUR PLAN...GET A HOLD OF GOD AND GET A HOLD OF PEACE!

Eze 37:1 The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,
Eze 37:2 And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.

We are called out of the deadness of the desert...but the lord has given us life. The day victory hope strength has come...for this purpose the SON OF MAN was manifest, to destroy the works of the devil. let us all remember to come to the cross and die to self for without death there is no ressurection!!!Let us all be responsive to the call of christ. Lets all get a HOLD OF CHRIST ...AND GET A HOLD OF PEACE. AMEN..(This was a combined messege from Pastors Carolyn and Hawk-i Peters delivered on Sunday April 11, 2010)

GRATITUDE...IT IS AN ACTION WORD!!!

Robert P has shown tremedous growth while here at the Sheepgate ministry. Prior to his surrender and susequent supernatral healing Robert was part of the revolving door process at the Centers psyciatric institution , returning each time only to have a very busy doctor show very little interest in his overall well being.
We believe that the heart of the matter is the matter of the heart. Unless a man open the door to his own heart and ask Jesus Christ to enter; unless a man so humbles himself we beleive that the necessary "heart change" will not occure to the degree that is needed for true healing. We believe it has been through the love and prayers of his Pastors, brothers and sisters here at the Sheepgate that Robert has shown a yielding to the Holy Spirit. Today Robert demonstrates gratitude in action by accomplishing many tasks around the ministry. The motives behind Roberts work seem to be driven by the fact the "he was once dead...but now lives". we Love Robert and today he serves as a power of example to all those who are on the road to recovery! Gratitude like faith is dead without works!!!

Hawk-I and Ms. Carolyn thank you so much
if it were'nt for you both and this ministry for me , today would be rough.

The backsliding was an embaressing thing, the using was as painful as a scorpions sting.

You took me back in the house and had confidence in me when all i looked at myself there was none to see.

Thank you so much, it is easier for me to put into words
so i will write it in this poem, so i know it will be heard.
Robert P.

REPENTANCE...THE BATTLE...THE CHOICE...THE REWARD!

REPENTANCE

THE BATTLE...

THE MOMENT WE REALIZE THE BATTLE IS NOT OURS TO WIN AND IN FACT THE BATTLE HAS ALREADY BEEN WON AT THE CROSS...WE ARE ON THE ROAD TO FULL RECOVERY...VICTORY...AND OVERCOMMING AND TRUE REPENTANCE!


Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.


Jas 4:1 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?

VICTORY IN SINGLE HANDED COMBAT AGAINST ..."SPIRITUAL WICKEDNESS IN HIGH PLACES"....AND...."THE LUSTS THAT WAR IN OUR MEMBERS"...IS AN ILLUSION . WE ONLY THINK WE ARE WINNING WHEN IN FACT APART FROM THE ONE AND ONLY TRUE VICTOR...JESUS CHRIST...WE WILL LOOSE THE BATTLE AND THE WAR EVERY TIME.

THE CHOICE...

WITHOUT FAITH, THE CHOICES THAT WE MAKE WILL ONLY CONSIDER THE FLESH AND WHAT WE THINK IS BEST FOR THE FLESH AND THE END RESULT WILL ALWAYS BE CORRUPTION...Gal 6:8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruptionn; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

OUR CHOICES WE MAKE WHILE IN THE ACT OF REPENTANCE MUST INCLUDE SETTING OUR AFFECTIONS ON THINGS ABOVE...BEING KINGDOM MINDED INSTED OF FLESH MINDED IS ESSENTIAL...WE MUST REMEMBER THAT WE CANNOT FIX OUR FLESH WITH OUR FLESH

1Jn 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

Deu 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:


THE REWARD...


Rev 14:1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.


Rev 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

Rev 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels

Rev 17:14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.


Repentance...The Battle...The Choice...The Reward.... is a personal observation from my own walk. My HOPE AND PRAYER IS THAT FOR ANYONE WHO IS IN BATTLE WITH SERIOUS SIN AND IS AT WAR WITH THEM SELVES ....STOP...AND REALIZE THE BATTLE IS NOT YOURS AND THE WAR HAS ALREADY BEEN WON AT THE CROSS . OUR CHOICES WHEN MADE WITH FAITH WILL ALWAYS YEILD VICTORY...AMEN
