Pastor’s Notes

As I write this, I’m sitting in a

hotel room in Aiken S.C. I’m
here for the annual Church of God Prayer
Conference. Although the worship has been
great and the Word was timely, my mind and
heart is in Woodruff. I can’t seem to get the
services from Sunday off my mind. I am still
overwhelmed at God’s presence and His constant desire to let us know how much He
wants to pour Himself out on us. I thought Sunday morning was good, but Sunday night
was AWESOME!!!! When we actually do what the Lord has wanted us to
do….WORSHIP….we see the evidence of what He wants to do. His Holy Ghost
presence was there and conviction filled the room and at least 1 person committed their
life to Christ. While the worship was going on, a person with a bad back and could
hardly walk, began to walk around the sanctuary and was healed by the power of God..
There was other prayer made that I’m confident is going to result in GREAT THINGS!!!!

When one of the messages in tongues went out, I had this though go through my
mind….God was one more time wanting to tell us that we had only scratched the surface.
He’s told us that many times and I felt like He was trying to say it again. I truly believe
that this is only the surface and that the intensity level is about to turn up many notches.
BUT….. We cannot let up what we are doing!!!!! The reason these things are happening
is because the people of God are beginning to get serious about this. We are
FASTING….. We are PRAYING….. We are CONFESSING….. We are doing the things
that are necessary in order to see God move. But we cannot be satisfied with what He did
Sunday. Tomorrow is a new day and that means another opportunity for another wave of
His glory!!!!!! I’m so ready for God to reveal Himself in unprecedented fashion!!!! So
keep on FASTING, even when the going gets tough! Keep on praying, even when the
flesh isn’t so willing! Keep on confessing, even when it hurts your pride. KEEP IT
UP….IT’S WORKING!!!!!!!

We are not quite half way with our 40 day fast. God
is already answering prayers!!!!! Revival seems to be
churching…. Somebody’s mother was prayed
through to salvation…. Don’t loose your focus and
allow yourself to slip from your commitment to fast.
STAY THE COURSE! The AFTERWARD will be
so worth it!!!!!!
 Sitting in church Monday night of Prayer Conference, I
felt the Lord to prod me to call for prayer to be made on
our new property. I believe that we need to began forging
forward in the endeavor of building the building and
relocating. I was reminding tonight in church just how
powerful prayer is. So this Saturday, at 10:00 AM, I’d love anybody who would love to
come and spend some time praying on the new property to come and join me. I plan on
having our church board meet at differing times as well. I’d love to see some youth
groups out there praying, youth boards, children’s boards, children’s teachers & workers,
choir & musicians, etc….. The Bible says “Where there is no vision, the people perish”.
Let us keep the vision before us and use the power of prayer to see God move on our
behalf. Hope to see you Saturday at 10:00 at the new property on Hwy. 101.

Special Children’s service is scheduled for February 20th at 10:30 AM. Our children’s
ministry is really growing, both numerically and spiritually. They are having children in
the altars, weeping because of feeling the presence of the
Lord. God is moving!!!!! We must allow them opportunity
to share their ministry with us and to expose them to “big
church”. We are so thankful for Donna Burdette, her
husband Garren and their staff of teachers and workers.
Special thanks also to all the van drivers and workers and to
Sis. Betty Ball and her staff of the Kidz Kafe!!! Our
children’s ministry is MOVING FORWARD. Please make
your plans to be in the service on Feb. 20th and invite your friends and neighbors. Hey,
invite some of the neighborhood kids to come!!!!

Baby dedication is still planned for February 27th. Please call the
church office and give us the name of your child and the other
needed information. We will have a section reserved for the
families and friends of the children being dedicated. This gives
you a special view for those cherished photos. Please don’t forget
