Do ONE great thing during your lifetime!

Hi everyone...Last Sunday morning, Jack Harris from Global Messenger International came
and spoke a very challenging message to our church body. He shared that the word "average" should be elimated from a christians vocabulary. To put his message in one sentence I would have to say that the sentence reads as this "when we put others and there needs first, over our own, that something great always happens"!

Revival is 3 days away...we're so excited and expecting great things! We're having a special prayer and worship service tonight in preparation for the upcoming revival. A guest speaker shared a word that she felt was for our church body...

Repentance + Reconcilation = Revival

Pastor Terry and I are applying that word to our lives and preparing our hearts, so all hinderances are removed...remember King David's words...Ps 51...."Create in me a pure and clean heart..." its our heartfelt prayer....Joanie

Healer

What a beautiful & anointed song... "Healer"...what a beautiful and anointed service Sunday.
The past two services have been different...His presence closer, more tangible and more powerful...I love HIM and HIS faithfulness!

Remember, when others may forsake you...family or friends, or both...HE has never left you! How awesome is that...no strings attached...no fear of betrayal...only HIS unfailing love, strength, peace, encouragement...letting us know that everything will be alright!

Be encouraged if your going through a hard time. HE hasn't left you...never doubt HIS love for you...you will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of living just as King David did many years ago...Psalm 27.

You'll be OK...it's HIS promise...Joanie

"Yours"

Many of you may know that a new verse has been added to Steven Curtis Chapmans song "Yours". They have been playing the new version on JoyFm...the verse was added after the death of his precious, 5 yr old little girl Marie Sue. Here are the words to the new verse:

I've walked the valley of deaths shadow

So deep & dark that I could barely breathe

I've had to let go of more than I could bear

And questioned everything that I believe

But still even here in this great darkness

A comfort and hope come breaking through

As I can say in life or death

God we belong to you

Through the many seasons of change in our lives, his words express what our hearts have felt many times. This awesome families journey can be followed on the links below. Our prayers go with them...what honor their lives have brought to Christ! Joanie

Revival in the air!

Wow! What an awesome service Sunday morning! Several people told me Sunday, how they felt revival in the air...the past two weeks I feel the Holy Spirit has been preparing our leadership & the congregations hearts for the upcoming revival.
Joanie & I both know that Change of Heart is entering a new season that we have never experienced before-everyone keep preparing your hearts so that the Holy Spirit has freedom to move-God is faithful and all the prophectic words that have been spoken over COH will come to past if we do our part & be obedient. Invite a freind to services next weekend! Have a blessed week....Pastor Terry

Just when you need it...HE shows up!

Hi, everyone! It's been a busy weekend so far. Last night Terry & I, Gabe, Swappy, Chuck, Dick and Jackie went to a special service at Oasis International Ministries in St. Louis...it was a word in due season. The special speaker was from Illinois...he moves alot in the gift of prophecy...as service was closing he came up to our seats and gave us a prophetic word...we will share more of what he spoke in the days to come...but I wanted to share the one thing spoken- "it was that all of the road blocks we're going to be removed." How right-on his words were, for sure 2008 has been a year of road blocks, from all directions.

I know in my heart that FREEDOM is truly coming! The things spoken prophetically in days, months & years past are going to manifest...its time...its time! Are you ready for revival? Are you ready for restoration? The Holy Spirit is ready & willing...all we have to do is keep our hearts seeking His. To retain a heart of repentance...than reconciliation is there which brings about revival!

Londa, Allie & I worked on our mailing for the upcoming revival with Jeff Ferguson. Also, the songwriters & worship leaders conference in September. Our goal is to send 500 packet to churches & individuals. We know it's going to be an awesome event!

We'll see everyone tomorrow...have a blessed & peaceful evening....Joanie
