Today I read from 1Corinthians chapter 12 verses 1-11. It says this:
” 1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant: 2 You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb idols, however you were led. 3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.
4 There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: 8 for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same[b] Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.”
It is very important that we as men and women of God not forget the power and authority that is within us. God has been gracious and has all foreknowledge that we would need the spiritual gifts in today’s world. Verse two sounds like he is talking to most of today’s society. “2 You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb idols, however you were led.” Much of America has been led astray to many idols the biggest being money! You see I believe completely that God delights and desires His children to be prosperous, but it should not come from idolatry and greed, but by following the principles of the Word of God. The interesting fact is that Word specifically speaks about those building idols and believing in idols, but on the same token says do not be ignorant of the spiritual gifts. Today I want you to know that where ever you are in life, no matter what you have done, God always wants you back. He always wants to be able to utilize another faith heart to reach out to the lost and dying. So I ask you today… are you being ignorant of the works of the Holy Spirit? Are you living a life that is embarrassing and you do not know how to get out? Well cry out to Jesus to lift you up and wash you clean, so the Word can move freely in your life. A church that has the power of the Holy Spirit is a church that is growing, healthy, prospering and living to full capacity. I want to be a part of a church like that! Don’t you? Well come check us out at New Covenant Worship Center! We are that church!

The Unshakable life is something we should all desire to attain. In Luke chapter 6 verses 46-49 states of the man who will cry out Lord Lord. One was a man who listened and obeyed the other was a man who did not obey. The man who obeyed the Words was a man who built his foundation on the Rock. The man who did not listen built his foundation on the earth.
We all have foundations but it is a matter of what we lay the foundation on. For when on the rock life is unshakable, no matter how hard the enemy would try to shake you, you wont be moved. This is a large key to a successful life, a life of victories and prosperity. We must be willing to sacrifice ourselves for the vision of success to become a part of our lives.

This past week I spoke from the first chapter of Luke where the neighbors and family of Elizabeth hear the news that a baby was born of the barren woman, and the rejoiced with her. I spoke to the church that it is important to tell of the great things God is doing. Many of the time what happens is God will do something amazing, but even those who were absent that Sunday never hear let alone our nieghbors and friends. The sad aspect of life is that more often than not we complain to our neighbors and family who have never stepped foot in the church more then we tell them the goodness of God.
I spoke about the importance of standing on what God has told you to do. God had told Elizabeth to name her son John. Subsiquently Zacharias was mute because of his unbelief, so he did not have a vital part in much of the speaking. Elizabeth’s family acted like many that you may know. They asked Elizabeth her vision she shared and they did not believe. So what did they do???? They went behind her back to go to her husband. As many will do, they will hear your vision, decide they do not like it and go behind your back to try and prove you wrong. But I tell you God was pleased with Elizabeth for standing up for the vision he spoke to her. Zacharias also stood for the vision by finding a way to speak the vision even when speaking the vision was not an option.
I shared that while sharing the vision is not always an easy task to do because you know many will not understand and support God’s plan for your life, business, or church. But I encourage you to stand on the vision of God no matter who or what comes against you. Because they will come against you! But there is a mighty freedom in the vision. Zacharias stood for the vision and was freed from his ailment! So again I encourage you to STAND for the VISION of God! You will be blessed beyond measure!

This last Sunday (June 14) I spoke from the first chapter of Luke and the 39 verse through the 56th verse. I think it is amazing that this portion of scripture is one that is of great importance to the church today. This portion of scripture marks the first occurrence of the gift of prophecy moving through a human being in the New Testament. When Mary enters the door of Elizabeth’s house Elizabeth is filled with the Holy Spirit and speak a prophecy that would set a up the church forever. She confirms all that the Angel had told Mary. It is important to realize that prophecy still happens today! It is a gift of the spirit that has great importance in the body of Christ today. It was not by happenstance that Paul states in 1Corinthians that I wish you all would prophecy.
The second portion of the scripture it speaks of the STRONG ARM OF THE LORD! We must realize that there will come a day when the strong Arm of the Lord will scatter those who raise themselves up above God. There are many Organizations even those that call themselves to be Spirit led organizations that will be scattered some day due to a proud and haughty spirit. Those that raise themselves higher than God shall be scattered and left empty. The Kingdom of God was not meant to be a democracy but a theocracy! I encourage all to realize that we serve a great God who desires to lead us in to a life of blessing and not cursing. The Bible clearly states that God delights in the prosperity of His children, yet we must have a heart after him for us to truly prosper!
I pray you will be blessed by this blog, and possibly it will open the eyes of many who serve man made organizations.

Good Afternoon everyone!
I want express very briefly a message that I spoke this past Sunday at our Church. The title being the end of the Supernatural Silence. Marking a 400 year dry spell in history. I spoke from Luke 1:1-25 where the Angel Gabriel appears to Zacharias as he was doing his priestly duties in the temple. Zacharias was afraid when he saw the angel and fear came upon him. Yet there was something special about Zacharias meeting this angel in the temple. It marked the first Supernatural “sighting” if you will in 400 years. This is a vital point in history because here marks the begining of the New Testament or Covenant! God had not given up on man and was setting human life up for an event that would change history forever!
The point of my message was that many people in our world today have been supernaturally silent for a long period of time, and I believe that it is time to end the supernatural silence! We must be people who desire the supernatural! God loves us SO MUCH that He desires to make Himself known to us! There are many ways God shows himself to His people. I want to encourage everyone out there to start looking up because the supernatural silence is over and your visitation may be coming soon! Get ready for your supernatural life empowering visitation! God let it come! We want more!
Signs and Wonders shall follow the word!
In His Purpose,
Pastor Ryan
8 Remember that Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, was raised from the dead according to my gospel, 9 for which I suffer trouble as an evildoer, even to the point of chains; but the word of God is not chained. 10 Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, hat they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
11 This is a faithful saying:
We shall also live with Him.
We shall also reign with Him.
He also will deny us.
13 If we are faithless,
He remains faithful;
I encourage everyone this day to remember Christ and all He has done for you! He has loved you! He has never forgotten you! And will never lie to you! The word of God is not chained, therefore it reaches to all peoples, all generations, and all the WORLD! I ask that you remember the Word and the Power that is with in the Word of God! Please be open to the leading of the Word this day! God will open doors you have never seen open in your life before if you stand in faith. God desires to show you His will, and believes in you so believe in yourself. God loves you, and desires to be your captain. Allow Him to direct the ship, and you shall reach your destination!
