MINISTRY UPDATES:Beloved Family and Friends,
Though it has been some time since our last update I could not be more joyful as I write to you of the rich presence of the Lord in and among the saints. The day of Christ is at hand and ready to be revealed in ever increasing splendor, glory and power. His descent from above is being trumpeted with a mighty sound on earth in and through The Body of Christ now brought to maturity, perfect in knowledge and mighty in deeds and works of power.
“Knowing, brethren beloved, your Election of God. 1Thessalonians 1:4
It is an amazing experience. The joy and liberty that comes to your whole heart and mind as you discover that salvation is not a matter of personal strengths or weakness nor is it the exclusive property of religious traditions and interpretations. Salvation belongs to the Lord and was given to us, in Him, from before the world began.
“Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began.” 2Timothy 1:9
God has chosen us in Christ. He has called us to share in His divine plan. Whose purpose is to pour out His Spirit upon all flesh and establish His righteous dominion in every creature through faith. Equip the saints with divine power and the understanding of all things.
It was to this end that St. Paul cried out in Romans 8:33 “Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s ELECT? It is God that justifieth. Knowing that God the Father has already made provision for us to be declared righteous and just, through the blood of Jesus Romans 3:22 asks rhetorically, already knowing the answer, “What shall we say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?”
As of this update I am preparing for meetings in Omaha, Nebraska, and Garden City Long Island New York. Trust that I will see as many of you as possible in these locations. For those in other areas of the country please be patient as we put together a plan to reach all of you as soon as possible.
Please take advantage of visiting our website often for the latest updates, ministry articles and other news from Light of the City Ministries. The Kingdom Life E-Store has a listing of ALL CD and tape cassette audio series, booklets and video’s from our catalog as well as many present truth messages of the Kingdom of God available for immediate download.
We have and are posting new video clips of Kingdom Life Class and other spiritual events on YouTube:
LightofTheCity1 . I am also producing a new video series exclusively for viewing on the world wide web. Our website is truly an information center for learning and linking with others who are pressing toward the Mark of the High Calling of God In Christ Jesus. Since it’s inception we have had thousands of visitors and great interest in the materials being sent all over the world.
The other day I was writing a note on Twitter: LOTCMinistries: and Facebook and was contacted by a precious brother from Nigeria, through an Instant message, who told me he had been sharing my teaching throughout Europe and Africa for over nine years. He was currently in Germany and met a sister in Christ who knew of us and had many copies of booklets and tapes and could not stop talking of the Blessing of the Lord she had been receiving through the ministry. What a great blessing for all of us who labor together for a united purpose in Christ toward reaching all who have ears to hear what the Spirit of the Lord is speaking in and through the saints.
Many have written in asking if we are planning another International conference this year.
We are setting aside a weekend in July, 2010 for a special series of meetings on the Kingdom of God, dates to be announced. Please feel free to come by and visit anytime you are in our area. Meetings take place every Sunday morning at 11 A.M. and every Tuesday and Friday nights at 7.P.M. Prayer and ministry for every need. House of the Resurrection
Local Update - House of the Resurrection
Today we also are rejoicing in the Lord for his expansion of our inner workings and ministry here at Light of the City Ministries, House of the Resurrection. Over the years we have seen the Lord birth, grow and prosper many of his children unto maturity. This week the Spirit of the Lord ordained for appointment and recognition those among us who are being dedicated as Servants of the Church. There are so many arms and legs needed in a ministry like this to keep it personal and careful to all the needs of the spiritual community. These chosen men have already shown themselves to be dedicated to the purposes which they will now serve. The names of our candidates now appointed are, Gregory Fetch, Bill Morris, Gregory Hill, George Davis and Michael Morgan. Congratulations to each one of these men and may God continue to prosper their love, labor and service in Christ.
WORD of LIFE:
The Psalmist asked…what is Man, that thou art mindful of him?
Have you ever wondered why God has apprehended your life? Even after a life’s journey of faith you may still be asking yourself these questions. Who Am I and Why Am I here, What is the purpose of my life, Where have I come from and Where will I go? The real answer to these questions has troubled humanity since the beginning of time. God has given the answers to these deep questions of life in the present truth revelation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Not Deeper Truth, but the Truth Deeply Applied.
Our most recent Kingdom Life Class has birthed a new series entitled Hebrew Chronicles. The move of the Spirit during these times has been exciting, enlightening and enlarging the substance of Belief. If you are a member of the Audio Presentation of the month, you have already received a taste of good things to come. However the first six messages in this series covering chapters one and two are now available through Light of the City Ministries.
I love this epistle deeply and am always drawn to its chapters, searching its words and researching again. This is not the first time I have been allowed to speak from its magnificent facts of truth but it seems that everything since the Lord appeared has brought so MUCH MORE that he has promised to bring to our remembrance. Every verse of scripture seems to reach out and grab hold of your whole BODY and pull you INTO the very text themselves into a chamber of reverberation, amplified and increased in its piercing, and actualize their meaning in us and through us as never before. That is the very power of God streaming through with no interference, distortion or diffusing of any kind.
The term or name Hebrew, itself yields many wonderful things about Christ in us. It is derived and used first in relation to Abraham whose name at that time was Abram.
Genesis 14:13 And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew;
H5680 yrIb.[Hebrew = "one from beyond
designation of the patriarchs and the Israelites
H5677 rb, [Eber or Heber = "the region beyond"
There is one more root that this name descends from which means to cross over. A Hebrew is One from a REGION BEYOND who like Abraham are strangers and pilgrims in the earth. Meaning we consider our earthly sojourn and identity strange to us and know that we come from a region beyond.
Though we were born into bondage, as Israel was brought into Egypt, they were brought out as we have been brought out of our darkness as well. Now we are crossing over by a new and living way into that plan purpose and place that God has prepared for us from before the foundation of the world. This epistle is called the Book of Better things. Christ is become a High Priest after the order of Melchizedek, of all the heavenly things to come.
This epistle leads us out from darkness to Light. From the outer world of the physical, natural and carnal realm of the Adamic nature into the realm of the Spiritual, Heavenly and Life giving state of being in Christ.
The revelation in and through the Sons of God is Better than the word of angels. There is a Better Rest than the keeping of a Sabbath day. There is a better priesthood than the order of Aaron and there is a better sacrifice based upon better promises guaranteed by a better Blood than the blood of bulls and goats. All the 'betters’ combine together for a powerful transformation that occurs in and through the saints, by the Spirit. A Better Metamorphosis!
Do not miss any of the parts of this new series which comes ‘From The Region Beyond.’
