New Life Words Of Enrichment

Bishop Kenneth Mack preached from Isaiah 41:14 - 15. A worm is so weak and so insignificant, it’s fragile. What is this earth moving machine that God said He would cause Jacob to become? A worm is so small that no one even knows it’s there. But God said I will not stop there, I will help you. I will make you a machine, something that is noticeable...something that will make the earth shake.

Apostle Paul Shields let's us know in this message that preparation is not something that you just do, but preparing for God's working in our lives is a process just like a potter has an extensive process to prepare clay to be worked on the potters wheel.

Apostle Paul Shields shared with New Life the importance of understanding our individual role in receiving our promised blessing. While the actual miracle of our blessing comes from God, we must do our part in preparing for God's out pouring in our life. Even when it does not make sense to us, we must follow God's instruction in preparing for His miracle in our life.

When we have weakness in our flesh we must be mindful not to feed that weakness and bring temptation upon ourselves. David had a particular “problem” in the flesh, he had a fondness for women who were not his wife. After David committed the sins of adultery and the murder of Uriah, the servant of God came to confront David about his sin.David was so broken that he cried out in Psalms 51:11, his prayer was that God would not cast him away from His presence nor take His Spirit way from him. Romans 8:1 tells us that there is no condemnation in Christ when we have repentant and are walking after the Spirit of God.

David enjoyed a special relationship and the favor of God. However, David allowed himself to become distracted by selfish desires and eventually placed his desires above obeying the commands of God.

If we do not forgive there will be hindrances in our lives and some destruction that will come. What is forgiveness? Forgiveness is to pardon for a fault or offense; to excuse for a debt owed.

Bishop Perry reminds us that we don’t have to accept the things the devil throws at you. You have to speak to the issues in faith. In Luke 8:40 - 50 we see a woman who for twelve years suffered with an issue of blood...she suffered going to the doctors in hopes to be cured. She had reached her limited, the limit that it was time for Jesus to step in.

Bishop Perry visits John 8:30 - 36, reminding us that it is not enough to just believe in Jesus, but we must also act out our faith in Him. In order to truly know Him and trust Him, we must be willing to have a true relationship with Him, grow in understanding of who He is, and walk in obedience to His word.

Sis. Mary Colemon shares with us what Jesus birth meant to the world, as well as what it should mean to each individual who's life has been transformed by His birth, death, and resurrection.

Bishop Brenda Perry reminds us that God has a perfect will and plan for our lives. God had a plan for John that did not include following in the footsteps of his father Zacharias. The plan was part of a larger plan that was going to change the everything, unexpected change.

Bishop Perry shares with us that David took caring for his father’s sheep to heart though he was alone. David did not know that his faithfulness to his father would bring elevation from God. We don’t know when God is getting ready to bless, heal, or deliver us. But we have to be ready and be in the place where God is. We can’t listen to the voice of our problems and allow fear and disbelief to grip our heart.

Bishop Brenda Perry reminds us that God desires that believers prepare for the promotion and elevation that He brings. We can not expect for God to promote us if we have not prepared or meet the qualification for the promotions He is trying bring in our life for His glory.

Bishop Brenda Perry reminds us that God honors and blesses unity among His children.

Bishop Brenda Perry, speaking from Proverbs 6:12 - 19 and Ephesians 4:, let's us know that all of Heaven works in unity, and all of the forces of evil are unified. But can the same be said about the children of God? Are working towards building unity or we working in a spirit of discord?

In Bishop Perry's message she shares that the enemy knows what they body of Christ fails to understand. He knows that he has less power and ability if he is divided. He knows that he is ineffective if he is in conflict with the demons that work with him.The Body of Christ (the Church) is not divided. However, many who go to local assemblies (church) are divided. 1 Corinthians 1:10 - Paul instructs the Church to all speak the same thing because division causes strife. You can not have a divided congregation, or even the Body of Christ as a whole, and expect to have power.

Four ministers of New Life exhorted on the subject of Praise In the Midst of the Storm using various personalities from the Bible and the life storms they faced, and how they overcame those situations; giving God praise through it all.

Bishop Perry reminds us that head the words of Isaiah 61:3 -4 and we are willing to take on the garment of praise, stop complaining and murmuring, God will pour on us His oil upon us and give us beauty for our ashes, and make us to be a tree of righteousness.

As we look at the world around us today it seems that people have become more wicked, the mind is consumed in wickedness. We are in a battle for the mind. 1 Peter 1:13 reminds us as believers that we must gird up our mind.

Bishop Frederick Mosley shares with New Life the importance of understanding the words that James wrote in his salutations and introductions to the church. James wanted every believer to understand that test and trails are sure to come, but we must stand firm amidst the pressure for it is in that pressure that we come to truly understand who God is and see our faith grow.

What would happen if all the Christians, forgetting our minor difference, would come together and take a stand for the name of Jesus Christ, like the millions of people did in 1963 who took a stand on the National Mall for the purpose of freedom? How we, as the body of Christ, could change this nation if we would stand together in righteousness and serve people...
