2 The un-comfortability Of The Christian Life. A burning bush experience. Supernatural encounter with God. A Holy Ghost Experience. A wilderness journey. A water walking adventure.

3 The Uniqueness of New Harvest Christian Fellowship First we are an inter denominational church. Second we have Pentecostals to Catholics. Third we have 23 Nationalities in this fellowship. People who worship God in different ways.

4 The Uniqueness of New Harvest Fifth we have alcoholics, addicts, prostitutes, murders, ex-felons, homosexuals, lesbians, adulators, people who live together, every kind of sinner you can imagine. I have been told that these kind of people should not be allowed, but all are welcomed to worship & hear the Word of God because the Word of God will set them free.

5 Luke 4:18 19 (NASB95) 18 THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE HE ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR. HE HAS SENT ME TO PROCLAIM RELEASE TO THE CAPTIVES, AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND, TO SET FREE THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSED, 19 TO PROCLAIM THE FAVORABLE YEAR OF THE LORD.

6 IF ONE IS NOT CALLED ONE WILL NOT STAY! 2 Timothy 4:1 2 (NASB95) 1 I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom:

7 2 Timothy 4:1 2 (NASB95) 2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction.

8 THE MOST CONTENTIOUS PASSAGES IN SCRIPTURE! Isaiah 53:4 5 (NASB95) 4 Surely our griefs He Himself bore, And our sorrows He carried; Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, Smitten of God, and afflicted.

9 THE MOST CONTENTIOUS PASSAGES IN SCRIPTURE! Isaiah 53:4 5 (NASB95) 5 But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, And by His scourging we are healed.

10 Strong s, 2390 iaomai [ee-ah-omahee] meaning I heal, generally of the physical, sometimes of spiritual disease. healing, particularly as supernatural and bringing attention to the Lord Himself as the Great Physician

11 Mark 16:15 18 (NASB95) 15 And He said to them, Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16 He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned.

12 Mark 16:15 18 (NASB95) 17 These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues; 18 they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.

13 James 5:14 15 (NASB95) 14 Is anyone among you sick? Then he must call for the elders of the church and they are to pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord;

14 James 5:14 15 (NASB95) 15 and the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him. [sickness: weakness, frailty, want of strength, weakness, illness, suffering, calamity, frailty.]

15 1 Corinthians 12:8 10 (NASB95) 8 For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit,

16 1 Corinthians 12:8 10 (NASB95) 10 and to another the effecting of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another the distinguishing of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues.

17 1 Corinthians 14:27 28 (NASB95) 27 If anyone speaks in a tongue, it should be by two or at the most three, and each in turn, and one must interpret; 28 but if there is no interpreter, he must keep silent in the church; and let him speak to himself and to God.

18 The Greek definition of the word tongue means: language. In Jerusalem there were 17 known languages, today there are 7,106. When a person speaks in tongues it is a message from God. That message is to be interpreted. The message is to edify the church.

19 How do we know if the person speaking is speaking a real language? First of all I don t know all of the 7,106 languages. How do we know if the person who interprets, interprets correctly? Second the interpretation should not be taken lightly because they are actually saying, Thus sayeth the Lord. Third is must edify the church.

20 1 Corinthians 14:1 (NASB95) Prophecy a Superior Gift 1 Pursue love, yet desire earnestly spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy. 1 Corinthians 14:39 (NASB95) 39 Therefore, my brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak in tongues.

21 2 Timothy 4:1 2 (NASB95) Preach the Word 1 I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: 2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction.

22 2 Timothy 4:3 4 (NASB95) 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, 4 and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.

23 This is my 28 year of ministry. Not by the world but by Christians I have been labeled as trash. I have been chastised for my biblical beliefs. My family has been verbally assaulted. I have confided personal information to friends that was used against me. I have seen my wife cry. I have been rebuked for the time I donate to the PD. Recently told in a round about way that I have lost my normalcy and will never get it back. I have asked the question why should I keep going, much easier to quit.

24 WHY DO I KEEP GOING, ALLOW ME TO SHARE, FIRST BECAUSE..

25 2 Timothy 4:1 2 (NASB95) 2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction.
