Pastor Lawrence
You shall receive power. God wants the church to be a church to have power. The church is a church of power. The church is a church supernatural move in our midst.
Today is Pentecost Sunday
John 14:12-14
The Answered Prayer
“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.
The church is a church of the greater works.
Church of Jesus Christ arise and take your place.
The glory of the greater house will be greater than the latter.
A thousand years to the Lord is like one day
The glory of the land house will be greater than ever.
Amos 9:11-15
Israel Will Be Restored
“On that day I will raise up
The tabernacle of David, which has fallen down,
And repair its damages;
I will raise up its ruins,
And rebuild it as in the days of old;
That they may possess the remnant of Edom,
And all the Gentiles who are called by My name,”
Says the LORD who does this thing.
“Behold, the days are coming,” says the LORD,
“When the plowman shall overtake the reaper,
And the treader of grapes him who sows seed;
The mountains shall drip with sweet wine,
And all the hills shall flow with it.
I will bring back the captives of My people Israel;
They shall build the waste cities and inhabit them;
They shall plant vineyards and drink wine from them;
They shall also make gardens and eat fruit from them.
I will plant them in their land,
And no longer shall they be pulled up
From the land I have given them,”
Says the LORD your God.
We are the end time church. There is a calling for us.
Miracles are happening
God is still opening deaf ears, blind eyes today.
Look to the Lord. He is turning all things for good
The church needs to know, we shall receive power from high.
Luke 21:26-28
men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”
There is darkness all around. Men’s hearts will fail them because of fear.
Look up and lift up your heads because your redemption draw neigh
What is THE hope?
THE hope is our redemption
We have a beautiful home in heaven. EACH of us will have beautiful mansion in heaven
Matthew 24:6-7
And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.
You will hear of wars and rumours of wars. But seeing that you do not trouble.
The children of Israel was protected
God will always protect and safeguard His people
The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.
Matthew 6:25-34
Do Not Worry
(Luke 12:22–31)
“Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
“So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added to you
Seek FIRST
Righteousness is a gift from God
It is the most important truth
We are justified by faith today
Galatians 2:16
knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.
All men has sin and fallen short of God’s glory
A righteous man is a man who never sin.
Have we sin? Are we righteous?
Yes!
Jesus never sin! Outwardly and inwardly
We are today justified by faith in Christ
Romans 1:16-17
The Just Live by Faith
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”
2 Corinthians 5:21
For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
2 Corinthians 5:17-19
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
God is for you, not against you.
There is now therefore no condemnation for those who are in Christ
You have received the promise the blessing and the power of God
You are the righteousness of God in Christ
Romans 14:17
for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Exodus 15:26
and said, “If you diligently heed the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the LORD who heals you.”
Righteousness equal healing
