You Are A Masterpiece - by Russ Fochler

On his 1994 album “Poiema”, Michael Card wrote: "The Bible tells us that we are God's masterpieces (poiema in Greek); not only creatures, but His creations, His poems (Eph 2:10). We are living epistles (2 Cor 3:3). And so, our lives are meant to be listened to, because it is God who is speaking into and out of and through the symphony of the years, and the masterpiece of a lifetime."

What if we saw Jesus - the author and finisher of our faith - as an artist as well as our savior? How would we view our journey through life? How would that change how we relate with Him? How would we view time and timing? I'm looking forward to exploring this with many of you in this Saturday's message.

Changing the Culture:

As sons and daughters of the King of Kings, we have the joy and mission to bring the Kingdom of Heaven to cultures and people. One way we can be "salt and light" is to study the issues and candidates with the counsel of the Holy Spirit. And then cast our vote. And then continue to pray for grace, wisdom, justice, and life-giving values for our governmental leaders; no matter who is elected.

Redeeming the Time - October 31st

God created each day of the year - including October 31st when many in our country celebrate Halloween. I encourage you to celebrate and worship Jesus on this day. And shine His light in your neighborhood.

Another opportunity to redeem this time is offered by Gina Prince:

"Holy Ghost Story Night" at Rick & Gina's home at 220 Love Ln, Danville, CA at 5:30 PM. Please bring an appetizer, salad or dessert to share (and a candle if you'd like). Contact: 925-580-8758 An offering will be given for special guest Recie Saunders. Come to share your "God stories" and to celebrate the "God stories" of others....

You Are God's Choice

These past few weeks have been supernaturally charged as we have seen God heal, conservatively, over 100 people of all kinds of injuries and illnesses, including cancerous tumors disappearing (with a doctor's examination) and decades-long traumatic injuries instantly removed! Why does he do these things? It's very simple: He is a good papa who loves his kids!

To bring home my point, I want to share with you a few paraphrased renditions of Ephesians 1:3-6 as creatively written by our Kingdom Training School of Supernatural students. We have 43 amazing students this year, by the way. I wish I could share what all of them wrote, but here are just a few...Enjoy!

"I pour out my congratulations with my whole heart, mind & soul and give my greatest & deepest expression of thanksgiving and utmost excitement to the best, most loving and generous Daddy ever!!! His generosity supersedes the extravagance of the most extravagant, providing all of the invaluable riches & treasures of the heavens, because of Who & What Jesus is and did for me/us. Daddy God has always wanted this. It's been brewing in His heart to the point of implosion, to bring us into the family so that we can live in His house and have full access to the fridge whenever we want. He couldn't wait for us to make ourselves at home. Our room has been prepared with our favorite wall colors. He initiated this out of His own desire and purpose - to show outrageous preferential treatment as His kids that we don't deserve or could ever earn." (Damali Vaughn, 2nd year student)

"God is astounding! How incredible He is! He moves me into beautiful blessing through his Son, Jesus. He had his eye on me before he created time in order that I might know the bounty of his love, the very essence of who he is, all for myself! He couldn't wait to make me part of his family with Jesus bringing me in! BAM!! How amazing is that! And now I get to receive more awesome gifts from his hand than I can ever carry in one load!" (David Vahlstrom, 1st year student)

And just one more...

"Wow! Wow! Wow! To my Father in Heaven! You have so blessed me in the anointing Jesus, full and jam-packed with blessing in our heavenly realm. Father, in his love, actually pulled me out of the frying pan--holding me now close to him. Showing me I am forever consecrated and set apart for him. W O W !!! I am blameless. I am free from reproach. Always before him in love. For he adopted me in his plan of love." (Dana Ortiz, 2nd year student)

As You Go...

Jesus came to perfectly show us the Father's heart. He said, "If you have seen me, you've seen my Dad!" Everything he did reflected the goodness, kindness and power of our Father in Heaven. And what did Jesus do? He loved people! He healed people! He gave them hope! He set them free!

AND

He said to us,

"I want you to do the same!"

He said it this way: "And as you go, proclaim that the kingdom of Heaven is close at hand. Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those suffering from virulent skin diseases, drive out demons. You received without charge, give without charge." (Matthew 10:6-8)

How is this possible?

Quite simple: CHRIST IN YOU!

If you are needing greater revelation of the glory that you carry and the authority that you have to represent Father God as an ambassador of His Kingdom just as Jesus did,

I encourage you to attend as much of the Angels & Miracles conference as you can this Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

As Suzanne and I were having dinner with Gary Oates tonight, he was sharing one miracle story after another and describing how each Angels & Miracles conference they have held has been more powerful than the last.

You will be empowered and encouraged to do just what Jesus asked!

You will be immersed in an atmosphere of expectancy to see and experience the unseen realm of the Kingdom!

You will have fun with a Father who's in a really good mood
and who is proud to call you His own!

Come with a great expectancy in your heart that God is going to do
abundantly above and beyond all that you can ask or imagine!!

MASSIVE BLESSINGS!!

Pastor Brent
