A Prophetic Word For Our Congregation

5/29/2023

0 Comments

 
       Yesterday during our Morning Worship Service a message in tongues was given, but no interpretation followed.  After waiting an appropriate time, with no  interpretation given, I moved on with the service.  After the conclusion of the service, after the sanctuary had cleared, a gentlemen approached me.  He was very emotional.  He could hardly speak because of the tears and emotions.  “Pastor, the Holy Spirit did not make any mistakes this morning.  I had the interpretation for the message in tongues, but I failed to stand and give it.  And this is what the Spirit gave me as the interpretation, ‘I love people.  And I will heal this nation’”.  
      I assumed my friend that I would shared this message with our congregation.  I remind us of the scripture that we pray so many times at First Assembly:

“If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
‭‭2 Chronicles‬ ‭7‬:‭14‬ ‭

Congregation,
      In February of this year I felt led to begin a series of Saturday night worship services entitled “Pursuing The Heart Of God”.  The impact was immediate.  I could feel momentum, passion and enthusiasm.  As we witnessed revival sweeping our nation, our goal was to pursue the heart of God and not be left out of the move of God in our nation.  We want to be a part!  
      Then, suddenly, the atmosphere seemed to change.  The momentum died and it seemed we were traveling up hill all the time.  I have spent several weeks of sleepless nights and uneasiness.   I couldn’t quite figure out what was happening!
       Early this morning as I was praying I heard a clear message in my spirit:
”Don’t be surprised that the forces of evil fight back when you move forward for God.    But, be at rest and peace, breakthrough is coming!”.
     So, this is the encouraging word I share with you.  Be at rest and peace, breakthrough is coming!
     See you tomorrow at 10:00 AM.  Breakthrough is coming!
​-Pastor Jeff Carico

      Who are all of those people Paul mentioned in the last chapter of the book of Romans?  Have you ever asked yourself that question?  Paul calls by name at least 30 different people as he closes his letter to the church at Rome.  Who were they?
       My Sunday sermon will be “Paul Knew Them By Name”.  I have greatly enjoyed researching and preparing this sermon, and I believe you will enjoy it also!  Most of the people mentioned by Paul will not be remembered in history.  Their name has been forgotten, but Paul knew their name, and so did God.   As a matter of fact, God still knows their name!  What they did for Christ will never be forgotten.  They have received their reward, and so will you!
        I hope you can join us Sunday morning at 10:00 AM.  I’ll be looking for you!

     In approximately 57 AD Paul wrote a letter to the Christian believers in Rome.  It was a letter of explanation, hope, and encouragement.  While staying in the city of Corinth, Paul dictated this letter to his associate, Tertius.   Phoebe, a lady whom Paul described as a servant or deaconess,  delivered the letter.    The Holy Spirit has preserved this letter so that future generations of believers can continue to be encouraged, informed, and given hope.  We know this letter as “The Book of Romans” in the New Testament of the Bible.
      My Sunday sermon will center on the theme of Paul’s letter to the Roman believers:  “Salvation Comes Through Faith In Jesus Christ”.    I believe the Book of Romans is one of the foundational writings of Paul, and has become one of the building blocks of Christian theology in the New Testament.
        I hope to present this letter of Paul just as he intended it to be:  informative, encouraging and hopeful.   I ask that you and your family join me this Sunday at 10:00 AM.  I will look to see you there!
