THE FIVEFOLD MINISTRY
The giftings of the fivefold ministry (Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor, Teacher) should have one purpose, and that is the teaching and equipping of the saints until we come into unity.

GOD’S ETERNAL WORD
__________________
In Psalm 89:34 God says, “My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that has gone out of my lips.”
This tells us not only that God’s word is true, but also that it will never, ever, ever, change. His Word stands true, faithful, and unchanged for all eternity.
Therefore, whatever his Word says, our faith can completely rest upon it. If he said it, you must stand upon it and not waver from it. That is true faith.
God said it, I believe it, and that settles it. When you truly believe his Word, that is true faith. When you pray, you know and understand with absolute conviction that you have what you asked for, regardless of whether it is physically there. Faith acts as though it is already there. What you see with your eyes of faith is just as real as that which you see with your physical eyes.
In John 14:13-14 Jesus said whatever you ask of your heavenly Father in Jesus’ name, you will have it. No, “not maybe” you will have it. You WILL have it, so look at it as already done, because it is already done in heaven. Stand firm on your belief (faith) and wait patiently for it to materialize in this world, because you already have it in God’s world, the spiritual realm.
If you struggle with this, then I would encourage you to tune in to our Bible School Tuesday evenings at 7:00 p.m. Eastern time. We are currently teaching a series on faith on both Facebook and YouTube. You can find the past lessons in the archives at spiritoflifeintl.org

IT’S OKAY TO BE YOU
________________
So often people want to compare themselves with others. They want to be like their mother, or father, or their pastor, or teacher. It is okay to have a mentor, but we must remember that each of us are made uniquely by God. No two of us have the same thumbprints, or tongue prints. Even identical twins are not totally identical.
We are all a unique creation of God. I believe God made us to be unique because he wanted to show us how much he loves us individually. No one could show that individual love to us more than God. He knows every detail about us and wants you to know that it is okay to be “you.”
Now this does not mean that we live a life of sin after salvation or neglect letting God bring change into our lives. What it does mean is that God works on each of us individually, and what may be good for me may not be the same for you. He knows each of us individually with our own personalities and designed us in such a way to be unique.
Do not try to be something that God did not make you to be. Learn to love the “YOU” who God made. Accept the fact that he did not make a mistake when he created you. Let his love come into every area of your life and be that special unique person he made.
Remember, like a puzzle, each piece is unique. If they were all square how could the puzzle be put together? Likewise, with you, God designed you to fit in the perfect place that He has for you. So, be that unique “YOU” that special person God created, and you will live victoriously.
Be like Mary when Gabriel told her that she would carry Messiah in her womb. Her words were In Luke 1:38, “… Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word…”
Like Mary, God has a plan for you my friend, and it is perfectly designed for you! It is okay to be you!

PROPHETIC WORD
AS GIVEN TO HELEN SANDERS
Do not be surprised as things change rapidly. For what you thought was secure will not be secure any longer. I am bringing such a shaking that even the roots of many things shall be pulled out. For I am a Holy God, and I desire holiness within my children. Many have been riding the fence with one foot on the world’s side and the other on the kingdom of God’s side. You must make a choice my children to not dangle with the world. Yes, you go into the world to bring them out of darkness, but you do not stay in the world. You must shake those things loose that are displeasing to me and allow me to bring you into total submission of my will. For the days ahead will be so filled with darkness that you must not allow any of that darkness to be in you. Your enemy will certainly use any tactic against you, and has been coming before my throne already, desiring to sift you as he desired to sift Peter. Oh, my child, let go of those things of hidden darkness and turn to me with your whole heart. As I said, the shaking will be more intense than ever. Those that submit to this shaking will come forth in such a way that they will reflect my light and glory. Those that do not will be severely tested, and some may lose their life because they could not let go of the things of the world. For in this hour, I am bringing about a great separation. You cannot say that it is the enemy doing this, for it is your God that is doing the shaking. Spend time in the secret place and know that in that place lies the answer to every question that you have. Let go of all bitterness and anger my child, for it does not reflect the light. It reflects darkness. Be the one that lives a lifestyle of repentance for those truly are my children. Let things go and do not harbor any resentment or unforgiveness. I long for you to be free of these things my child, but you must be willing to go through the fiery trials that will bring your freedom to pass. Now, do not think that the shaking is because of any hatred toward you, for I love you with an everlasting love that will never fail. Be prepared and know that I will be with you as you go through this shaking saith the Lord.

APOSTLE PAT MURRAY
PROPHETIC EXHORTATION
5-9-2024
No doubt we can all agree the shepherd boy David had quite an unusual weapon to have to actually defend himself with. Although it sure did prove to be a powerful weapon when he was faced with taking on a giant. Now we know David had proved this weapon to be successful on many occasions; And he KNEW he could COUNT on it to keep the wild animals away from killing him and his family’s sheep. Oh, but it was a totally different story when he came face to face with a huge giant named Goliath. (I Samuel 17:34-36) We’ve read Biblical accounts of how David was greatly OUTSIZED when it came down to this giant; But he was NOT ever OUTSMARTED nor was he OUTWITTED. Somehow I can almost hear young David confidently…But NEVER arrogantly saying underneath his breath, “Ok God you’ve used me before to protect these sheep and you can do it again; For God you know this showdown is for your glory”. Then in desperation little David cried out with all the authority of Heaven backing him as he said...”Goliath I say to you in Jesus Name…You are a dead man”. Then about that time one smooth stone hurled out from David’s sling shot; And Goliath was DEAD and sweet VICTORY was WON. So here’s a great lesson you need to learn and don’t ever forget it; With God on your side...You can accomplish MORE...With less. In closing, let’s remember the words in 2 Corinthians 10:4-5…”The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. Casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Jesus Christ”. Now if God came through for David He can and He WILL come through for you.

Suffering! HCC
Suffering, give thanks for it, for with suffering you grow,
You improve spiritually, you move to the Savior.
Think of this as you suffer in this life.
You are sharing your suffering with Christ Jesus.
Remember all that he suffered for you.
Remember the Cross, the blood, his torture.
So many with sufferings, Cancer, old age,
Where are bodies fail us. Lots of suffering in this life.
But our Jesus is with us, and soon he’ll take us home.
Our sufferings then are gone!
