POWER WORSHIP! - GOD YOU REIGN!

LINCOLN BREWSTER was born in Nome, Alaska but found his calling in Southern California. He was a session guitarist in the mid 1990's when JOURNEY's lead singer Steve Perry asked him to be on his first Solo project and tour with him! But God had different plans for Lincoln!! He saved him and brought Lincoln into the Kingdom of Christ to serve in a worship group. He is now one of the foremost musicians in Worship Music and leads the Worship Arts ministry at Bayside Church in Sacramento, California.
Lincoln blessed us here in Springfield, Il. a couple weeks ago at a fundraiser for Contact Ministries. Here is the most powerful song in his repertoire and one that would lead you worship the King - "GOD YOU REIGN!"

Annual Chili Cookoff, 2009!

The Secret Chili Recipe I developed about 5 years ago led to another victory in the annual CMS chili cookoff, for the computer operations department. The recipe is still a secret, but let's just say it has a Texas Twang and great aftertaste!
God bless,

Bernie

PART ONE OF SERIES "The Secret/Sacred Place"

Psalm 91:1 (KJV) says: "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty."

THE SECRET/SACRED PLACE, part 1

Now more than ever God is calling His people to that Secret Place - the place where He meets with us, fellowships with us, reveals to us His Will and His Word. The great thing is His Revelation NEVER contradicts the Living Word of God, found in 66 books of the Bible!

There are many requirements, once the saint or believer, decides he/she wants to enter this SACRED PLACE! In my humble opinion, they are:
1. Complete Faith in the Power of God and the Glorious Mystery of the Cross.
2. Complete surrender to the Son of God, knowing we are nothing without Him.
3. Complete consecration centering on the Character of God.

It could take a series of sermons to flesh these points out into an aggressive dynamic for flourishing in the Secret Place with Abba Father. But we will have to settle for bite-sized morsels in this blog, until the book comes out! :-)) So here we go!

1. Complete Faith: The Majesty and Power of God is evident for ALL mankind to see, but more so to the saint as we have the Holy Spirit to guide and instruct. Ninety percent of the World does NOT, and will not, even after hearing the Gospel. The Power of God is not in dispute. What gets those who are perishing is the Glorious Mystery and Power of the Cross! THIS they, including infidels in the church, will never grasp, even as their rank disobedience descends with them into the eternal fire.

NEXT: THE POWER OF THE CROSS IN THE SECRET PLACE!

AWAKEN YOUR HEART OF PRAYER! LOU ENGLE IN SPRINGFIELD, IL. NOV 5-7 2009!


It is a known fact that more women pray than men. From first hand experience, I know that almost every strain of the National Prayer ministries are populated by a majority of women. Why is this? Why are men, whom Almighty God, through Creator Christ, put in positions of leadership from Adam on down, loath to spend time on their knees?

Reasons and excuses are many. The good news is that changes are coming. Starting in 2008, our National Day of Prayer head office in Colorado Springs forged alliances with national men's movements like the National Iron Sharpens Iron and Joe White's Men at the Cross Conferences, that are bearing fruit. From Kansas City, the International House of Prayer (IHOP) movement spread like wildfire across America and here into Springfield, Illinois (led by Scott Beauchamp).

Men - young and old are now walking in the Spirit as mighty warriors of prayer in the IHOP, Apostolic and other independent prayer networks and churches we travel in.

The primary goal is to Glorify God; seek His Face; repent of personal and corporate sins and travail in intercession with someone in need (or over a critical issue).

For the fervent and effective prayer to be heard, the spiritual heart of a righteous man MUST be awakened to the Call of the King. Too many men lose out on this amazing blessing, by thinking crazy things about prayer warriors - except when they need us!

If you wish to find out for yourself, contact Scott or anyone of us. One great opportunity is here: consider attending this Awakened Hearts Conference led by Lou Engle from November 5-7, all or part of it. A meaningful relationship with Christ can not be developed only by going to church on Sunday. Pray about it.
