A Position of Favor and Protection

God has been increasingly revealing Himself to man over generations, and He desires an intimate relationship with His church. The church is the focus of God’s work in the earth, and nothing is more important to Him than those He has purchased with His own blood. For this reason the church enjoys a position of favor and protection.

The Bible provides the foundation of reason and understanding for Christians. By the infilling of the Holy Spirit, we have the opportunity to occupy a position of understanding, not only God’s nature and essence but His ways and expectations as well.

Our response to God’s call to is to become a member of the church, a church that is committed to God through a relationship of love and faithfulness to Him. This new-birth experience begins a relationship between God and the believer that will endure any tests and trials that may come our way. Through the “new birth”, God lives within our heart and we become a member of the church—not a denomination or a local church, but the body of Jesus Christ.

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” (II Corinthians 5:17).

As a part of this body, we have security against the enemy, power over evil, and divine illumination of the Scriptures. But the greatest benefit of being a member of the church is eternal life with Him. Jesus said,

“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand” (John 10:27-28).

We are in the middle of an awesome revival at Haughton United Pentecostal Church! Rev. Patterson & his wife ministered to us through out our weekend services! There is such a great move of God leading people through a much needed breakthrough. A sense of restoration can be felt all around. Thank God for his saving grace & healing power. We will soon witness miracles of deliverance from strongholds like never before witnessed in our lives! Be amazed & stand in awe as God begins unraveling our busy frantic lives & fills them with peace, love, & joy of the Holy Spirit. I have no doubt that we have just entered into a new era of living for God.

Let’s join together in the ushering in of this refreshing revival that has the potential to overcome one of the most unstable periods of time mankind has ever known. We can stand back & be the one witnessing great revelations & spiritual victories or we can be the one that is receiving the revelations & overcoming our adversary. While we are being led by Jesus our Lord & Savior lets remember to lead others to Him as well. He is worthy of all our praise & worship! Psalms 106:1 Praise ye the Lord. O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
