Pastor Loren's message on Helps continues. If you're going to do something for God, you need the help of the Holy Spirit to get the job done. Even Jesus didn't begin his earthly ministry until he was "filled with the spirit".

The bible commands us to be filled. We need to be filled fresh each day.
"Try running your car forever on one tank of gas!" Church is the place we can come each week to get (re)filled with the Holy Spirit.

The "Floodgates were Open" during the evening service! Many were free to run, dance, shout, and praise like never before!
People were healed, delivered, and set free!

After ministry, Pastor Loren began a new series on "Laws of Confession"
Our words are seeds and they must first be planted before they can grow.
"If you believed every word you say would come to pass, then many of us would be changing our vocabulary."

Rev. Chris D'Amico

Rev. Chris D'Amico blessed us with ministry that came straight from the heart of God for this church at this particular time! The power and wisdom of God spoke to everyone who would listen.

Brother Chris brought up so many issues that all of us face each day. He talked at length about the rightful authority that we as believers should be walking in every day of our lives. Jesus intended for US to have dominion. It's not always easy to keep fighting the enemy but we cannot let up now!
"If you're fighting and you're hurt, keep fighting anyway! You cannot stop! Just because your feeling some pain, doesn't mean you're defeated.
WE CAN'T STOP NOW!"

Brother Chris was extremely sensitive to the spirit and gave Him complete reign over the service. He was led by the spirit to call out many issues such as heart problems, ear & eye problems, depression, and anger just to name a few.

We look forward to Brother Chris's next visit to us in August! Each time he comes, he places a deposit into Amazing Grace that raises us all up to the next level.

If you're looking for the truth, then don't miss these meetings! Come and hear what God has to say!

Last week Pastor Loren's message on "Help" centered on commitment. This week the focus was on the importance of being filled with the Spirit. Being filled with the Holy Spirit can make all the difference in where or not you will be equipped for the works of the ministry!
But how do we get filled and stay filled?

If you want oil in your lamp, you have to go where the oil is . . .
If you want the Holy Spirit, you have to go where the Holy Spirit is . . .
CHURCH - that's where we fill up our spirit man each week and that is how we stay filled!
Hebrews 10:25 (NLT)
And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage and warn each other, especially now that the day of his coming back again is drawing near.

Pastor Loren felt during a time of ministry that there was a spirit of unbelief that has been dogging the tracks of many and keeping them from fully receiving from the Lord. Tonight was the night to deal with that spirit of unbelief once and for all!

Pastor Loren brings an end to his message on
"God's Most Excellent Way - The Love Way".
Tenderhearted people are free to laugh, free to dance, free to cry, free to shout, free to praise and free to pray! Always stay tenderhearted towards God and to each other.

Sunday, March 4, 2007
As Pastor Loren continues his series on "Helps Ministries" we can clearly see that without commitment, you'll never accomplish all that God has for you.
"You've got to give it all or nothing for God - you can't run down that yellow line in the middle of the road"!

That place of commitment is:

During the evening service alter call, Pastor Loren called many forward as he was led by the Spirit. He then sensed that the Lord was wanting to minister to all those that felt called to be more of a financial blessing to the church.

God's Most Excellent Way = The LOVE Way!
An important aspect of showing love is to always think about the effect of your words before you speak them, not afterwards. Some things in life cannot be reversed - our words are one of them.
"Once you release that fiery dart, you can't take it back."
Our words should be ones of love, encouragement, support, edification, exhortation and comfort.

Amazing Grace welcomed Rev. Craig & Peggy Harvey, FCF Missionaries from Guatemala. They are very excited about what is happening down there and shared many things with us!
"We all have a calling - to be a witness for
Jesus Christ"
They both feel strongly called to minister to children.

They live in a small village of about 1200 people. Their feeding programs and Bible clubs are ministering to more that 40 children each week. In addition, they are also being led more into the arena of miracles; something their village is not very familiar with. However, we know that God is wanting to bring miracle not only to our country, but also to every tribe and every nation!

In Pastor Loren's "Helps Ministry" series
we were given the following:
"A family (church) that works together, stays together"
This became a perfect opportunity to recognize our housekeeping volunteers. Their hard work and dedication is so greatly appreciated!

We're making many changes here at Amazing Grace with the remodeling of our K.I.D.S. Church and an addition to our nursery and it is taking the work of many people here - people who are willing to dig in and do the work of the ministry.
No matter what the task, we are a family church working together to get a job done!

During a time of ministry, God's healing was in the house! Many came and received that touch they needed in their physical bodies.

"God's Way - A More Excellent Way"!

God's most excellent way is the LOVE way. There is always a right and wrong way to handle every situation in life. The right way is always motivated by LOVE! And when the motivation is LOVE, it will always result in wisdom and understanding.

Pastor Loren is presenting his next series of messages on "The Ministry of Helps".
"Why did God decide to use people and why did He chose the ones He did"?
He began with Matthew 14:18-22. Jesus called out to four ordinary fisherman who became extraordinary disciples.

There are three reasons why we are important to God

1) Who we are
2) What we've cost Him
3) What we can become in Him

The evening service proved to be a spectacular one,
full of Holy Ghost power!
2 young men received Jesus, one man broke down a wall of bitterness that has had him bound, and others received physical healing in their bodies.

After ministry, Pastor Loren continued his message on "Choices". Whether or not we live our lives God's way is a matter of our choice. If you are unsure of what God's way is, then all we need to do is ask Him to show us. It's just that simple.

Pastor Loren's morning message was on
"TEAMS" No organization can survive without team work and the greatest asset of a team is it's people!

Together Experiencing A Ministry

"A ministry team is made up of ordinary people working together in an extraordinary way!"

The goal of this Amazing Grace team is to bring the power and anointing of God to this city!

It is also our desire to raise up leaders within the church; to see people grow and to walk in the fullness of God's will for their lives.

Pastor Loren was directed by the spirit that many were battling intense spiritual warfare; some feeling like God was not as close as He used to be - although that certainly is not the case. For those who came forward, this was the night for those walls to come down!

Continuing his message from last Sunday, Pastor Loren talked about those choices we make and how those choice must revolve around God's way and not our own way.

God's Best = God's Way = Your Choice!

Sunday, January 21, 2007
In Pastor's message on "Making Right Choices", he makes it very clear that choosing sin over God is the worst decision we could ever make with the most devastating consequences!
In Genesis, chapter 13, Abraham and Lot both made choices. One resulted in blessing and one resulted in curses.

If you have made some wrong choices in your life and you're finding yourself on the wrong road, God always gives us the hope of a turn around.
A right heart; a repentant heart, will always return you back to the sweet presence of the Lord!

An alter call during the evening service brought many forward in prayer for their families and loved ones. Others needed help with habits they wanted to
be rid of.

Pastor Loren also spoke of some of the prophecies that have come forth for this 2007 year.
Kenneth Copeland's prophecy can be seen on his website at www.kcm.org.
For those committed to Christ, this will be a tremendously blessed year;
"The Year of the Open Door"!

Sunday, January 14, 2007
Pastor Loren has turned his morning messages over to the topic of "Making Right Choices". Dueteronomy 28 clearly points out the results of the choices we make in life. And the consequences of those choices are often passed down to our children as well.

"Making a right choice once is not enough, it needs to be done every day. Each morning we have the responsibility of making the choice of what kind of day we are going to have."

The evening service began with ministry that saw one woman set free from worry. Pastor called others forward as he was led by the Spirit.

Sister Dorothy came forward with an exhortation to all those dwelling the the valley of indecision to make this night a turning point; to decide once and for all that Jesus is the Lord of our lives and to serve Him with all our spirit, soul and body!

Sunday, January 7, 2007
Pastor Loren finished his teaching on "Temptation". Temptation has the potential to destroy us if we let it, therefore, the key to mastering temptation is to take control of your own life.

Now is not the time to follow today's culture, it's time to stand up for biblical character! If Christians will stand up for what is right, the world will follow. Compromise will never win anyone.
How well do you stand when temptation comes?

The evening service was full of God's power and glory! The spirit moved in such a mighty way that everyone in the house was touched!

Are you ready for a change in your life? Are you ready to experience God in a fresh new way? Then join us at Amazing Grace where you will always be accepted and loved just as you are.

Sunday, December 31, 2006
As we prepare to bring in a new year, Pastor Loren began a very relevant series of teachings on "Temptation". We must be extremely careful of who and what we listen to in these days. We are all tempted and there are very real consequences to sin - we will reap what we sow.

Our evening service was not our normal service at all!
We have our very own unique way of bringing in the new year. The whole night consisted of comedy, skits, music, gospel illusionist Rene' Colin, dramas, a special salute to our armed forces and veterans, and candlelight communion right at midnight.
