We are born again and made new creations in Christ. This is a faith fact. This means we are brand new and have the same nature as God because we are His sons and daughters. Amen.

Our spirits are not healed, they are new creations (II Cor. 5:17). Why should we make this distinction? It is because many take the healing promises and provisions in scripture and interpret them to mean spiritual healing. I understand why this is done. It helps to explain why it is that many are not healed physically. It also takes away the pressure of expecting physical healing. Most of this comes from our experiences, not from scripture itself.

The scripture goes on to describe...

Lord of Lords BCC has become part of the grace revolution of these last days. This means we get it that our salvation and walk all depend upon who God is to us. Our faith only stands when we stand in what God has done in Jesus in us. Other churches are joining in not to start a new denomination but to return us to the foundation of Paul's revelations in his letters to the churches.

The gospel is a gospel of grace. It's not about what we do for God, or how much we love Him; it's about what He's already done in us through Christ who is in us and how much God loves us!

We have moved in and now we are moving on! After adjusting from being in the Priff school for ten years we have come to enjoy our new place. What is amazing to us is that God put on on Rt. 9! The site work and sign have turned out better than we imagined. The focus and purpose of Lord of Lords BCC is that we be a place rich in God's grace and we are seen by hundreds every day.

We are seeing new people coming almost every week. A good number have decided to stay. As we look to our future in Waretown, we want to remain faithful to the call and vision God has given to us. We want to present God in Christ Jesus as He ever meant to be known. God has removed...

For most of my Christian life (since 12 years old) I have misunderstood the true nature of worship. I have looked at it like is was my purpose and obligation to God because He is my creator. I was made to worship and when I don't I'm not pleasing God. I often don't worship God because I tend to see it as a vague and often useless responsibility to help in my life on earth. The only use I saw in it was appeasing God. I worshiped out of fear or duty knowing it is expected. I worshiped because I should--after all God is God. I worshiped so that God would not be angry at me or curse me...

Worship is what human beings do to recognize how great God is. The underlying implication is that our worship is something God required and desired of us for His own purposes. God required our worship much like we might see someone demanding that we acknowledge their authority over us. We might see worship as our sign of surrender to someone superior to us. When we look at worship from a human point of view we see God somehow using it over us or receiving it from us as acknowledgement of His Lordship.


This idea or persuasion motivating worship is all wrong. If we see worship as something we must do, should do, as in a duty, obligation, or responsibility, we are missing the real purpose of it. If we think that our worship is us giving God something and God is receiving, or taking in, or somehow feeding off of it--we are way off again. God doesn't need our worship, He doesn't need our praise! In fact, God doesn't need our love, adoration, and appreciation. God doesn't need anything--He is God.

Worship is not us giving it is us receiving!

We don't have to be strong or pretend to be something we are not; God is not interested in us playing games. This doesn't mean that we don't stand strong in confidence of who God is in us. We believe these things because God's word says these things:

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me (Php 4:13)! He is my life and by faith I know He is in me and is faithful to intercede and make me hit the mark of God's glory (Heb. 7:25). God's glory is made perfect when we rest in Him, trust His word, and stand against the fallen facts of this realm. We speak God's word and pray His will into our life situations because He is in us to fulfill His purposes.

When we acknowledge that our strength and purpose is God's gift to us we are staying in His grace (Philemon 1:6). I speak His word over against any lack in my life (Mark 11:23). I speak His word over against any sickness in my life. I do this because His word authorized me to use His name, peace, position, and righteousness to command God's will done in my life (John 14:14). I speak and then walk towards that mountain to see it move away by the miracle working power of God.

We have separated the gospel from God's power. For most the gospel of Jesus Christ is a message of salvation in repentance from sin. The gospel has been reduced to getting people saved as in a ticket to the kingdom of God.
We have gotten the idea that God's word is for peace, right living, and doing what pleases God. These are good things; however, the power of God's transformation, deliverance from the curse, healing, and freedom is almost forgotten. There is no question that being born again is the most important miracle of Jesus; however, it is the signs, wonders, and miracles of healing and deliverance that bring people to salvation! The power of God makes the word of God real, meaningful, believable; leading unbelievers to believe!
Paul wrote:
    I Cor. 2:2  For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
    3  I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.
    4  And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in                             demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
    5  that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.

Jesus said that when we were sent by Him we are being sent by the Father (John 20:21). He went onto say that if they rejected Him, they will reject us.

    Joh 15:20  "Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they
    persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also.

When we became born again we came into a new kingdom (Col. 1:13). The old is passed away; behold all things are new (II Cor. 5:17). This also means that we no longer belong to ourselves but we have been bought with the blood of Christ--we belong to God (I Cor. 6:20). What we say, do, and live to in Christ means that we are not alone or on our own. We've been sent; we've been inspired and led.

When we witness, share, pray for, preach, teach, and promote the love of God it is not our own. We are drawing from the grace of God to work the works of Christ (John 14:12). We've been blessed with the infusion of the divine nature that is empowering us to believe, to act and think in the realm of faith (II Pet. 1:4). We are walking in His steps (with Him); abiding in His Spirit (John 15:5). All of this is to say that when we witness for Him it is the Lord's work through us. When we preach, teach, and share, it is the Lord's work in us.

    Eph 2:10  For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared       
    beforehand that we should walk in them.
