Paths to Run In

What a Great Day!

2008-06-03T00:29:00.000-07:00

Wow, That is all I can say, when people ask about how Sunday went! Sunday morning was amazing! I am thankful for the outpouring of the Spirit of God. God has complete love and compassion for His people. Sunday Night was wonderful also. I am beginning to receive testimonies of the miracles and how God spoke to so many. I will try and share them with you tomorrow or tomorrow night. If you would like to add to the testimonies please send me an email so I can pass on to others what God did for you on Sunday. I would love to hear from you big or small and you can be an encourager and faith-builder to others.
A special thanks to those who have been praying for our Fireworks Fundraiser! Chris and I went to make a presentation to the Springfield City counsel and mayor. They were favorable and seemed appalled that the existing laws that they had made put us in a difficult position. Please pray for us as we draft up some new proposals to changes to the current laws!
I would also like to give a special thanks to the people who volunteered to paint up at the United States Basketball Academy. Their efforts saved us a lot because we owed them money from our last Breakin' the Ice Winter camp. Thank you to Rod Campbell for heading up the team who painted.

We love you and are believing God’s best for you!
Pastor Aaron & Kristy

Florida Revival Trip - Last Night

2008-05-30T23:35:00.000-07:00

We had a wonderful day and tomorrow we flight out early for home! We left early this morning to Fort Pierce to meet up with Leann Rawlins. As I mentioned last night, she is a woman who was saved and delivered from drugs in our church many years ago and we wanted to visit together while we were here. We had a great time visiting and hearing how God is using her and Randy here in Florida. We left Fort Pierce and headed straight to the meetings in Lakewood.
We once again had a wonderful outpouring of God’s spirit at the revival meetings. Two more were raised from the dead tonight bringing the total to eighteen. One right here in Lakewood Medical Center and the family was there to testify about it. He had been considered brain dead since Wed morning. They were going to pull life support and before they did they prayed. God brought the man back to life. He is off life support and communicating with the family with no signs of any brain damage. Many, Many miracles and great times of worship. God is really up to some great things all over. This is starting to break out all over America and even throughout the World. Remember the miracles are the results of the outpouring, and faith when the Word is proclaimed. It’s not a man, it’s not a method, it’s God being God and being true to His word. God chooses who He will anoint and when He wants to anoint them for His purposes. Todd is anointed but it is starting to spread like wild fire all over the world.
Because it is late and we have to get up early to start our long flight home, I want to share a word God gave me and then I am going to get some sleep. While the meeting was going on tonight God spoke to me an amazing word. He brought to my mind the story of when Elijah called down fire. Then God said “I have allowed the prophets of death and destruction to have their time to bring fire. All they could display to the world is pain and terror. The world is not impressed with the power of their gods. God is using the Church to display His fire and this revival will be a witness to who God is, worldwide. The anointing of God is being poured out all over the world and it is with power. God, Himself, is beginning to let the world know that He is the one and true God, before the second coming of Christ.
I am excited for Sunday morning, but even more so, I am excited for Sunday night at 5:30 pm for Preparation Prayer and 6:00pm for our worship night. I believe if we will show up hungry, God will show up in His power. Let us come on Sunday having made ourselves ready. Let us seek His face and not His hand. If we seek His face God will give us His hand if we simply ask. I will see many of you Sunday. Begin to prepare yourselves right now for what God is wanting to do.

Please email, phone or tell those who are hungry about Sunday evening. Let them know to begin to prepare themselves now and be expectant.

It's 2:44am EST here. We are going to go to sleep so we can get a few hour of sleep, if you are still awake and recieve this tonight, please pray that Maverick sleeps the next few hours.

We love and miss you Pastor Aaron & Kristy

Florida Revival day two!

2008-05-30T01:50:00.000-07:00

Tonight was a powerful night. God did some amazing things. Miracles were abundant. The presence of the Lord was even more abundant. Signs followed. Where the Spirit of the Lord is we can expect miracles. The Lord gave me a very special Word and I am very thankful to have received it. Please accept this as from the Lord, for us as a body of believers and get this Word out!

“Breakdown barricades and be a bridge builder!” This was a word God gave me and I believe it is for right now. God is calling us to be people who call forth the good/God in people (because we know God is good). Division is easy but unity takes the Spirit. Anger and bitterness come easy but forgiveness and love are of the kingdom/Spirit. Build up, Build up, Build up people in my holy faith. God is calling us to be bridge builders, kingdom builders, HIS kingdom. Speak truth, speak peace, speak love and unity of the Spirit and the bond of peace. God is wanting to pour out His Spirit on us without limit, so let us not limit Him, Crossfire family of believes. Let us begin to make ourselves ready as a bride would make herself ready to see her Groom and King. Let us begin to pray, seek His face and speak holiness, love, peace, truth with our brethren. Those in the faith and to those who are without. Bridge builders, that we might find our way together into the kingdom presence of the Lord. Life, life, life. This is the Word of the Lord to us! Our lives will be found in the Kingdom of His Presence!

Right before I hear this from the Lord, God told me to call Dennis Wallen and pray for a creative Miricle to begin in His Kidneys. So I did and he recieved it very well!

Right after I heard this Word from the Lord, a Pastor (Frank Castanet) and Ministry leader (Dale from Last Resort) who are both form Eugene OR came up to say Hi to Kristy and I. They were very excited about what God was doing. After talking for a few moments I invited them to join us on Sunday night. I hope they can. I believe this would be great. God gave me an opportunity to build a bridge within moments of giving me a word about building bridges and Breaking down Barricades. When we do this in the natural and within relations we also are doing it in the Spiritual. Let us pour out the love of God on others so God can pour out His love on us! NO LIMITS to what we are willing to do and there will be no limits to what God will do!

A few nights ago God spoke to Todd about a man who he knew nothing about named Bob Rogers. The Lord told Todd that this man was going to take Kentucky for Jesus and he would have a powerful hub of the Spirit. Tonight Bob Rogers showed up and Todd introduced him to everyone (Todd had met him tonight for the first time). Bob is a pastor of a Pentecostal/Charismatic church of over eight thousand people. God is already using him mightily. On our way home from the meeting we debated if we should stop and get something to eat. We stopped at IHOP to get a bite. When we went in we were sat next to Bob Rogers and two other pastors. Long story short. We made a real spiritual connection. It was awesome. Pastor Bob Rogers gave me a Bible that he had just printed at their new publishing company. It is really a wonderful thing. One of his associates was a pastor from Chicago Illinois, James Horvath. God gave him a vision of the Philippines and especially Bacolod City. He will be in Bacolod in ten days doing a city wide crusade. For those who don’t know, this is where our covenant churches are headquartered. Ronni and Salomie Binas Pastor there and we have forty-five churches on the Island of Negros (Bacolod is the capital city). We actually called the Philippines from that restaurant to establish a connection. It is awesome how God works. Pastor James wants to partner with us and help facilitate the Gospel to that area together. God is building bridges.

TONIGHT I RECIVED THIS RESPONSE TO LASTS NIGHTS, PATHS TO RUN IN (It really encouraged me along with others responses):
Pastor Aaron,I am passed ready!!!!!!!! Yeah!! I am so excited that you are where you are and receiving what you are receiving!! I can't wait till you come back! ! The warfare has been pushing me to my limits. Let's get this show on the road!I will be praying that I will be ready for whatever the Lord desires to do, and that the people will be hungry and ready, also. I believe this will be stronger and bigger than anything the enemy could attempt to put in our way. This isn't a beautiful visitation by a vulnerable Father, as the last outpouring. This is the will of an ALL Powerful God who desires to set up a throne of His authority in this city and region, (nation). The desire of a Savior who wants to set the captives free. The determination of a Warrior King who will see the enemy dethroned and destroyed. An Almighty God who desires to display His Glory and Power to and through His people and to those who do not know Him. The passion of a Bridegroom desiring intimacy and oneness with His Bride. This outpouring does not belong to the church. It exists solely for the purposes of a majestic King who is taking back what is His. His reputation, His church, His children, His Way. It is the expression of WHO HE IS. IAM THAT IAM. The restoration of all that His heart has desired for this age. I just can't believe that I get to be a part of it. It humbles me to my very core……

(SHE THEN WROTE SOME PERSONAL THINGS THAT GOD GAVE HER FOR KRISTY AND I THAT WERE VERY ENCOURAGING).

(I will be there Sunday and Ready!)
I am honored to be a part of this with you. So, count me in.
We love you!Susan Christian

I hope you all are feeling this way and are preparing yourselves for an outpouring of God’s Spirit! I am Hungry are You?

TOMORROW: It is right now 4:50am EST (so much for getting caught up on sleep). Tomorrow we are going to visit with Leann Rolings. She was a drug addicted girl who many years ago who came to our church and accepted the Lord. I will never forget the night she came and gave me her stash of drugs and paraphernalia. She said “will you get ride of this for me, I am free.”. She has been serving God faithfully ever since. Today she is a mother of two boys and the wife to her wonderful husband Randy. She is a nurse and together they live in Southern Florida. When she found out we were coming to Florida, she asked if we could get together. She lives four and a half hours away. So we are going to meet in the middle and try to be back in time for the evening meeting. Pray for me because we have to leave in just a few hours.

PERSONAL NOTE: Kristy got to lay out in the sun this afternoon so she could burn her self??? I watched Maverick and got caught up on some of my very delinquent voice mail messages and emails. I took maverick in the shower with me to clean him up and cool him down from the hot weather. He loves the water. After a few minutes I called for Kristy to come and see maverick. He was in my arms, with the water running on him, completely sound asleep. That is how I want to be with my heavenly father. Completely at rest in his arms.

God’s not coming, He’s here! He is not getting ready, he is waiting, on us! Let’s make ourselves ready!
Pastor Aaron and Kristy Taylor

P.S. As great of a time as we are having, we are missing our kids so very much. Please say an extra prayer for that!

Live from the Florida Revival:

2008-05-29T02:25:00.000-07:00

Kristy and I (& Maverick) just got back to our hotel from the Florida Revival with Todd Bentley. Tonight (as many of you may have watched on God Television) was resurrection night. Tonight God was very present and the fifteenth person was raised from the dead since the revival began. This is an outpouring that is spreading! What did we take away from the meeting tonight. Spiritually more than I can comprehend or explain. I am very thankful for being here and glad that we came. I did realize a few things that are very important. This is about the supernatural and hunger.
HUNGER- 1st we found that people are more hungry and expectant. Thousands showed up early to get a front seat. They show up to have an hour of prayer. Then we had over two hours of worship then three hours of the prophetic ministry, testimonies, and prayer. There were some (like any meeting) who left early but most stayed until the end. As the meeting progressed the impact increased. I find the same hunger among many in our own congregation, but not the same expectancy. For this reason I am asking everyone who is hungry to begin to prepare now for next Sunday night. We will gather together for an outpouring of the Spirit to all those who are hungry.
OUTPOURING– There is definitely an outpouring happening here. Is it unique to here? Well, I am not sure. There is something very unique about what is happening here, but the outpouring is the same everywhere. I feel the same outpouring in our meetings, but the intensity is usually less. There does seem to be an open heaven, but I know we can have the same intensity if we choose to operate in it. We all must ask how far do we want to go, how much do we want and what are we willing to invest to receive it? These are important questions and very necessary to ask ourselves. These are things the local church here had to ask when they began to intercede for a move of God. Tonight, Todd made a very important statement, “this is not a miracle crusade, it is an outpouring.” This really rang true to me. When you have an outpouring of the Spirit, you can expect the miraculous to follow. Signs follow an outpouring of the Spirit. This is an outpouring and it is happening all over the world. It is spreading like fire. We are excited to bring home some fire and intensity of the Spirit. I am asking for those who are hungry to start fasting and praying now. You might ask why should we wait for Sunday night, why not Sunday morning? The answer is: God can do what God wants to do any time with us. I do believe that Sunday morning is full of people who may or may not be hungry. This is why I am asking for us to set a special time for those who are hungry to go out of their way to invest in a move of the Lord. If you are hungry let’s get ready for a move of God.
PREPARATION HAS ALREADY BEGUN– God began preparing us months ago. We have been moving FORWARD into KINGDOM living. God is wanting to prepare His bride for the final display of His glory. It is not one place or one man. God is definitely beginning an outpouring and it includes all who what it. Healing has been happening in small instances in our church and last Sunday was just one example. Many accepted God on Sunday as their savior, but I didn’t know until I arrived here that Marianne Barkley was healed miraculously Sunday morning. I encourage you to go to the testimony page and check out her testimony she just sent in.
IMPARTATION– We are here because we want all God has for us as His body. Tonight we were prayed for personally by Todd Bentley for an impartation of anointing. I am thankful for his graciousness. Kristy and I want all we can get. I came here with one prayer, “God we want all you have for us.” I ask that you would have that as your prayer also. We don’t want any more or any less than God’s best for us.
BEGIN NOW- Once again we encourage you to begin right now to pray for an outpouring without limitations. We are excited to come home already. I am thankful for what God is doing here but I am expectant for what He will do in our outpouring.
Ready or not!!!!! Pastor Aaron and Kristy

FAMILY TRAVEL NEWS: Maverick is doing great. He did great on the plane and he did great in the service tonight. He really loves church! He slept through almost the whole thing. We have ran into some pastors that we know from home. It is good to know that there is family where ever you go. We are also very excited for Friday when we are going to meet up with Leann and Randy Rawlins. They are a couple who used to go to our church and was saved in Crossfire and delivered from drugs. They now serve the Lord here in Florida.

New Taylor Baby Pictures!!!

2008-04-25T00:08:00.000-07:00

Everything is great and the Birth of Maverick went well. Kristy did wonderful and the baby is perfect. Thank you for all of your support and prayers! We will do our best to let you know more as soon as things calm down. Aaron, Kristy and family

Please keep us in your Prayers!

2008-03-08T13:01:00.000-08:00

Please keep us in your Prayers: (Paths to Run In will continue SOON!)

I want to let you all know what is going on with Kristy and the baby, before I head back up to the hospital. The Doctor today told her that the bleeding has slowed but that they were not going to let her out of the hospital until the placenta has no signs of bleeding for at least three days. She wants out of the hospital very bad but we are willing to do what the Doctor says. Today, we have been asked to take a tour of the N.I.C.U. in case we will be needing it. We want the baby to go full term but know it is all in Gods hands. We have full faith and trust in the Lord and know that Maverick is in Gods hands. Please keep us in your prayers. I will see everyone tomorrow morning at church. Pastor Aaron, Kristy & Taylor Family

Urgent, please wait and pray:

2008-03-07T06:07:00.000-08:00

Thanks for your prayers! For those who are a part of our online prayer team, you may have heard and started praying. Some of you may not have heard but please continue to stand with us. It is currently around three thirty in the morning. Let me take you back to around 8:45 p.m. last night. I had just gotten home from work and Kristy was still at work waiting for a computer backup to finish. I had left work to go home and work on my Paths To Run In, so we could have a late evening together. Then I received a very disturbing call from my lovely wife. She said she was bleeding and was heading straight to Sacred Heart Hospital. Most of you know that she is seven months pregnant with our son Maverick. I had my computer open to our web site so I clicked on our prayer team button and simply said Kristy is bleeding, please pray and that I was headed to the hospital. We got there within a few minutes of each other. She was just being admitted. After they did an ultra sound and some tests they came up with this conclusion. She must have a tear in her placenta. This is causing the bleeding and making her contractions start and she was dilated to a one. The baby was healthy and the heart was beating strong. They gave her a shot of steroids to help the babies lungs develop. They also gave her meds to stop the dilation. If the bleeding stops, which it hasn't yet, she may be able to resume her pregnancy. If she keeps bleeding then they want to keep her from having the baby for at least forty eight hours so the steroids can help the babies lungs develop. She is just now getting some sleep. The contractions have stopped and it is just a wait and pray time. Please no one worry but do stand with us for God’s will to be done. This is a difficult time because of B.T.I. this weekend but we have such a great staff I know they will take care of everything. I am going to try and get some rest. I will let you know more tomorrow on the prayer line as well as this testimony line. Pastor Aaron

Jesus is able for you to live right!

2008-03-06T00:21:00.000-08:00

The Kingdom provides abundant ability!

2 Peter 1:3 His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.

Once again I want to deal with 2 Peter 1:1-9 and the Abundance God has for His people. The Kingdom of God is more than enough. It is a kingdom of abundance. Anyone entering/living in the Kingdom will have all that they have need of. There is provision in the Kingdom. It is ours by inheritance but that does not mean it is ours to neglect or abuse. Verse three says that God’s divine power has provided everything we need to live in this life and to live like Christ. Then, we get this explanative word. (through). The divine power for all we need comes through our knowledge of Him.
The word Knowledge is the same word used other places. The word knowledge is Greek in Peter and Hebrew in the Old Testament. But the definition has many of the same components. We can live with all that we need as our intimate relationship with Christ develops. This is why we must continually add to our basic faith in Christ. We have all that we need through our relationship with Christ. He called us to know him by the authority of His own glorious, perfection and the authority of His character.
What this one verse means to us today, is we have the power to be who God has called us to be. We can be led by His Spirit, we can meet the challenges of everyday as more than able in Christ Jesus. You have all that you need through Christ's ability. GO MEET THE CHALLENGES OF THIS DAY BECAUSE JESUS IS IN YOU AND ARE ABLE! Pastor Aaron

Current Family & Ministry Update:
Yesterday, was a wonderful day. It didn’t start so well. Kristy woke up very sick, throwing up, and her body ached all over. She rested and slept most of the day. I am glad she is feeling better and I think she needed the rest no matter what. I started the morning by going to a chapel at Willamette Christian School for a Pastor’s Appreciation Chapel. It was wonderful to see the kids who had invited me and to see their faces light up. Today, I was reminded that what you can do in the lives of children matters the most and it really doesn’t take very much. Show a little care, go out of your way and it can mean the world to a child.
I went home to check on my lovely wife and to take her everything. I thought Wal-Mart might have that would make her feel better. I hate to see her not feeling well. She is such an amazing woman and it takes a lot to get her down. If you can please pray for her and that my rumbling stomach doesn’t get any worse. We are both needing to get things ready for B.T.I. this weekend.
The day was full and kept me very busy. Some days it seems like my main function is just problem solving. This was one of those days. I worked with Hudson on some T.V stuff and did four weeks of openings and closings for our television program. I pray that God uses these television messages to reach people and to go into places where the message of Christ might no go otherwise.
My daughter Lauren called because she was very excited to have a girl at school come to her and ask her about getting serious about her relationship with God. Lauren was excited to be able to minister to her.
Jet and Haley were so blessed to have my parents visit their school for grandparents day. Once again this shows how the investment you make in the lives of a child is very worth the effort.
Our mid week adult Bible study went well and was very exciting to hear the passion in people’s voices when they spoke of their love for Christ and their desire to follow Him. Worship, testimonies, the Word of God and the fellowship was all very fulfilling. Have a wonderful day and allow your knowledge of Christ to increase. Pastor Aaron

P.S. Check out the wonderful new testimonies of how God is working in the lives of people. There are new ones up today. Go to ww.4crossfire.com and click on testimonies.

Living in the Kingdom of Abundance:

2008-03-05T02:59:00.000-08:00

Abundance!

I am sorry about not getting my devotions out to you the last few days. We have had some amazing days in the Lord this week.

Abundance: This is a word that drives us to think money when we hear abundance. 2 {Peter 1:2 let us know what real abundance really is. To associate true abundance with what money can buy is short sighted. True abundance is what money cannot buy. Look below AND KEEP IN MIND. God wants us to live in true abundance. The word means multiplied. Ever increasing. More. I say more Lord, more.

2 Peter 1:1-9 Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith as precious as ours: 2 Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. 3 His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. 4 Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. 5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7 and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. 8 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.

We all need money and God is faithful to take care of us. In God’s kingdom there is no lack. We must learn what real abundance is, so we can be trusted with financial abundance. Jesus is not a get rich scheme. He is faithful to us and keeps His promises. He gives us all we need but we will find what we need, as we begin to live in the Kingdom (begin being led by the Spirit). When you live in the Kingdom all you need and more is already yours. It isn’t about heaping unto yourself. It is about partaking in your inheritance. In the Kingdom of God, money is a tool to reach this world and provide for God’s people. Money honestly has nothing to do with real abundance. In the next few days I want to deal with this wonderful word abundance. God has called us to be blessed or in abundance. Be blessed as you learn to live in God’s Kingdom!

Current Life and Ministry Update:
Once again, I am sorry for my delay in getting devotions out to you all. I was so happy to deal with the subject Love and the Kingdom of God All of last week was awesome. I am excited for BTI youth camp, the upcoming March 15 message (on loving your enemies), as well as Resurrection Sunday. God is up to some great things. I am sorry that I left some of you hanging after my last update. I did finally get our horse buried. It was like he was singing that old song “ain’t no grave, gonna hold this body down—I’m gonna get up, get up, get up, out of this ground. This was one of those things you will never forget. I went to court and that went very well but I will be going back to court in May. God is being very faithful. One thing I had not mentioned was, I was in great need to refinance my home. I need to pay for the room additions to make extra space for our new addition, also give each of my wonderful children their own rooms. This loan would also help us get to July when we are hoping to begin receiving a salary again. Having no income for the last six months also makes getting a loan very difficult. People don’t like to loan to people who are not currently making any money. Praise the Lord, Sunday I was given a word from the Lord to just ask. This might be a little pre-mature, but it looks like this loan will be coming through. This is a huge weight off of me, (one I should have been letting Jesus carry all along). We had a great weekend. Sunday morning was great. I had a great time with everyone at our Sunday pizza fellowship. Sunday night worship night was better than I could have asked for. We had a great turn out and I believe everyone who came, found it very worth while.
Please pray for Kristy, she woke me up around four in the morning and asked me to pray for her because she was throwing up ad felt cold and had the chills all over her body. She things she go food poisoning. Please lift her up in prayer. Have a blessed day and trust Jesus all day long, He is trustworthy. Pastor Aaron

Qualifying Love—Kingdom Living!

2008-02-29T04:30:00.000-08:00

Qualifying to be loved by me!

We have spoke much about loving your enemies over the last few days. Some of us find it hard to love anyone and dealing with family might be the hardest people of all to love. Remember what love is!
1 Cor 13:4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails……..
Love (agape) is! Love is something! It is tangible and yet it is invisible because the roots of real love is spiritual.

Luke 10:26-37
26 "What is written in the Law?" he replied. "How do you read it?" 27 He answered: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'" 28 "You have answered correctly," Jesus replied. "Do this and you will live." 29 But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?" 30 In reply Jesus said: "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. 32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, took him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper. 'Look after him,' he said, 'and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.' 36 "Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?" 37 The expert in the law replied, "The one who had mercy on him." Jesus told him, "Go and do likewise."

Love your God: I always hear, “I don’t have to go to church to be a Christian!” My question is, If you love God (and he said not to say you love Him and then forsake ones brethren). Wouldn’t you want to worship with the brethren. Those who love God must put down their criticisms of each other and come together.

Love your neighbor: This is sometimes harder than loving an enemy or a stranger. Because the closer someone is to you, the greater hurt they can cause you.

Who is your neighbor? This was a good question with bad motives, Jesus put this man in a place of having to admit that to keep the commandments of the law, one would have to break the Pharisaical law (said to be the interpretation of the law). The law of the O.T. never had the power to save us but to show us we needed to be saved. It also had a keeping power until the promise of the Father was reviled.
Who is our neighbor, Jesus made it clear all people great and small, any race and even of any state of their lives, even our enemies, are our neighbors.

Disqualification:
Today you will have the opportunity to try and disqualify people out of your circle of love. Jesus has no circle of love. Jesus is Love! We are called to be like Him. When we justify our bitterness and hatred, then we are the ones being disqualified. Our self righteousness tries to determine who deserves God’s love from us. The answer is that we don’t deserve God’s love yet he gives it freely. Who do we think we are to not actively love someone else. The qualification to receive God’s love is that you exist. What are your qualifications for people to be loved by you. (remember what love is 1 Cor 14:4-8).

No apologies required:
Are you waiting for someone to apologies for something, Jesus has showed us love while we were yet sinners he gave to us. If you are waiting on an apology or for someone to come to you then you are not like Christ. Jesus draws people by His love. If you are waiting on some to respond to you then tear down your pride and lets see what God can do to bring healing.

What about repentance?:
You may say, don’t we have to repent for God to accept us. The answer is that God is, in and of Himself (we are not) our holiness and or righteousness comes from God alone. God loves us while we are yet sinners. To have a relationship with him we must repent and accept His love. We must love period. For us to have a relationship with others we must unconditionally love. We love without repentance but for a relationship to happen, the one being loved must receive our love. Because we are not God, demanding repentance for someone's wrong doing is more about us and less about true love. Let it go, love and get on with flourishing fruit in your life.

Who can you actively love today, not for your benefit but for there benefit?___________

Current Family and Ministry Update!
The court hearing went well but there are two more scheduled in the coming months. My children are doing well. Lauren has tons of homework each night because progress reports are coming. I rented a backhoe to burry my horse because tomorrow I am taking part of the day off, to also put in storm drains in around our house and move the foundation dirt that is piled up. My father in law (Ron came over to help) we buried the horse eight feet under but because to water table is so High. Well, he just kept coming up out of the ground. I believe, well after dark, I finally got him to stay underneath. We will find out in a little while when I go check to see if he is staying underneath. A little gross but very true. I did miss the the Guths wedding and that was disappointing. Other than that my day was very blessed and God has given me much grace. Jesus is great and each day is wonderful when you look for miracles in each day God gives you. 1. Haley is feeling much better. 2. I found favor with the rental company today without even asking. 3. I got a full size backhoe for $225 for four days. 4. The court has required mediation which is exactly what I wanted. 5. Marlene came over to help my wife around the house just because she loves us and to be helpful to my lovely wife. 6. My children love me and I love spending time with them. 7. My son and I had a great time playing with the big man toys in the back yard (The Backhoe). 8. My wife is doing very well with the pregnancy and Maverick is very healthy. 9. My wife is amazing and she loves me just like God loves me. She is my best friend and I love her more each time I speak to her 10. I felt the presence of God all day. 11. I am blessed beyond what I deserve and God is always faithful to me. 12 I could go on all day but I better get back to getting ready to take my children to the dentist. We have to leave at 7:00am. Be blessed today, love someone new today and keep Jesus first in all that you do! Love Pastor Aaron & Kristy.

Blessed Beyond Comprehension!

2008-02-28T13:05:00.001-08:00

February—March, Update Article

I want to start this by saying, a huge, Praise the Lord and thank you for all of your support. God is always faithful! We have had one of the most exciting beginnings to a year that we have ever had. I hope this Update gives you a small idea of some of the great things God is doing. Many of you attend Crossfire Family Worship Center and most of you attend some place else or no place at all. I am not sure what is happening in other churches, but we are seeing and I am hearing an increase in the manifestations of God’s power all around. Regardless of where we attend, I believe we are all very desirous of the power of God to be displayed in our midst. We are experiencing the seeds of some very exciting and genuine revival. We are blessed beyond comprehension.

Eph 3:14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height — 19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. 20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. NKJV

I recently spoke about how simply recognizing the miracles around you will allow God to increase the miraculous in our lives. The scripture above is always an encouragement. I am always encouraged to realize that God is wanting to strengthen all of us in our inner man. In this Christ can dwell in us, to allow us to comprehend the incomprehensible. This means that the Kingdom of God is beyond comprehension, yet God places in each of us the ability to love and understand who God is and what He is wanting to do. We can be led by the Spirit, but only when we seek Him first and give Him glory/recognition daily for all He does. If you have asked Jesus into your heart, the power of God is at work in you. How much supernatural work He will do in you is limited only by your faith and obedience to Him. V20 –21 declares Gods unlimited power is designed to work in us.

God is working through His people in greater dimensions. We have been experiencing an outpouring where God is drawing people into the congregation right off the streets. Where they are coming out of drugs and life-controlling problems wanting to accept Christ. It seems like we rarely get through a worship service when people aren’t asking Jesus into their hearts during the worship service. We have had them stop by, call and write asking to accept Christ. We are finding that during worship, people are having people ask ushers to accept the Lord. In the restroom and (thank you Jesus) in the altar call people are wanting Christ. God is drawing His people. A week never goes by without a wonderful testimony of salvation. God is blessing us beyond what we could ask or think.

Thank you for supporting and praying for this ministry. All I can ask is, give us more souls Lord! And give us the wisdom and ability to disciple those who are accepting the Lord so they can live in the fullness of His Spirit. We love you with the love of the Lord, Pastor Aaron & Kristy

Current Family and Ministry Update:
We started out our Wednesday with the sound of children in the house. I love waking to hearing my children, even if it’s a little loud. Lauren had a late start, so we got Jet & Haley to school, dropped of one vehicle to get the brakes fixed, and we took Lauren to breakfast. We went to work a little late after dropping off Lauren at school. I received an encouraging call from some pastors in Pakistan wanting to set up a country wide evangelistic crusade in Pakistan. Please pray for wisdom about this. It was a normal, wonderful day but that is not how it stayed. Our plan was to go home for a few hours between work and church. We got a call from Haley. She said she had a fever and was not feeling well. We left a little early to go get her. The vet came to check out our horse because he was very sick and not eating or drinking. We thought is was a viral infection but they told us it was a tumor in his esophagus. They told us there was nothing they could do for him. We then gathered the children and said goodbye to buddy. It was a very emotional time. The vet put him down and tomorrow I will bury him in our field. Having him put down was a hard decision but we didn’t want him to suffer. Thank you for your prayers. I believe the Lord was there to comfort the us during this loss. Immediately after, I received a call about some domestic problems and a child who was possibly being abused. I spent the next couple hours trying to help this family get things back on track. I am always thankful for God’s grace and supernatural wisdom during these kind of encounters. My wife took Jet to church and because I didn’t get home until after church started, the girls and I stayed home. Haley getting some rest, Lauren preparing for a huge test and I was getting ready for a court hearing tomorrow. We closed the day with prayer and each of the children thanked God for having the opportunity of having buddy (our horse) in our lives and that Jesus was with us during this day. It was a hard day but we are blessed beyond comprehension. My amazing wife prayed this, “This is the day the Lord has made let us rejoice and be glad in it!” I say to us all for today, This is the day the Lord has made let us rejoice and be glad in it! Have a blessed day, beyond your comprehension! Pastor Aaron Taylor

Loving Your Enemies Takes 20-20 Spiritual Vision!

2008-02-27T12:44:00.000-08:00

20-20 Spiritual Vision!

Yesterday, I dealt with loving your enemies. The Word is very clear on this point. I encourage you to read it again if your not clear on it or if you didn’t get a chance to read it. Today I want to deal with one simple, yet very necessary and profound thought.
How can you really love someone who hurts you, wrongs you and despitefully uses you. It’s not just a good idea, it is necessary as far as God is concerned. It is a God idea. Love your enemies. I used the gospel of John Yesterday and today I want to look at Matthew 5:43-47 -
43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy.
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; ……….. 46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? KJV
We hopefully understand the need to love your enemies but how do I view them without feeling hateful or angry? It will take some supernatural vision but hopefully I can simply explain the how! Read these scriptures very carefully.

Gen 3:13 And the Lord God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate." NKJV

1 Tim 2:13-15 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression. NKJV

Titus 3:1-7
3 Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work, 2 to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men. 3 For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. 4 But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, 5 not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, 6 whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. NKJV

In Titus what was it that reached out to each of us, while we were still in our sin and deception? God’s Kindness and love! (These are really translated just agape) Without that, we would all be lost and yet we were all there at one time. God saves us at different times and yet it doesn’t mean that we are somehow better than the next person. In fact God treats us all the same.
To understand how to actively love a sinner is to first see them for who they really are. If I asked you to love a poor starving child you could do that very easily. I have had the privilege to help feed the poor, helpless and sick people around the world. These have been some of my most cherished opportunities in my life. They are hungry for many reasons, but the one common thread is that they are hungry. If we begin to see people as Christ sees people then we will find it easy to love those who hate us and despitefully use us.
The Bibles says that Eve was deceived, yet Adam sinned willingly. I know this is true but not completely understood. Eve was deceived directly by the enemy and Adam knew what he was doing. Adam had walked with God and yet made the wrong decision. Adam was self deceived by his own lust. Once we have truly walked with God, we have no excuse but notice God restored and continued to love Adam.
I believe no one in their right mind (true understanding) would reject God. For this reason, All men are deceived (Titus 3:3) and are in need of the truth. When someone acts out on you they are really angry at God and with themselves. Jesus said that they really don’t hate you they hate me. He knew they hated him and He showed them nothing but love.
John 7:7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify of it that its works are evil. NKJV
Jesus hates evil works and deeds but He loves the individual. This is not an emotion alone. Jesus chose to actively love them while they crucified Him He was actively loving them. If you get a real 20/20 vision of how Jesus sees sinners you will find it easy to hate the sin that hold them in bondage and love the sinner. See the sinner for who he is. They are deceived and in great need of the love of Jesus. We posses that love and must be willing to act like Christ did towards those who He wept over. On the Cross He asked for their forgiveness. We must strive to love our enemies as Christ loves them.
I hope this devotion helps you live your life by walking deeper into the Kingdom of God/learn to be led by the Spirit. When the body of Christ learns to love like Jesus loves we will then find revival in all areas of our lives and the world. If just you will learn to love as Christ loves, it will revive your world and those who you come in contact with. Don’t wait, go start a revival in your world.

Current family and Ministry News!
Kristy and I had the privilege to go to the hospital and pray with Trigger before her surgery and she was just a little out of it! She is such a wonderful and sweet person. I missed our staff prayer because of that but everyone understood. Later, Trigger called and told me that her doctor got sick and postponed the surgery. All I can say is that we prayed God’s will and protection and I believe that is exactly what God did. I then had a staff meeting and numerous meetings. We have been trying to sell three older buses and a very dear friend to this ministry who attends another church asked about them. After speaking with him we decided to just donate them to his church so they can just keep on doing the work of the kingdom. In the afternoon I received a call from a person who wanted to know if we could meet. I found some time and they came by and said that they had been given some money and wanted to be a blessing to the Church. They gave a much needed offering of $3500 to general fund and $1000 to one of our Crossfire Ministries. It was very needed and was cause for much rejoicing. The day was amazing. Kristy and I were personally in need of a financial miracle and between our tax return and a gift from a very faithful friend we were able to pay our house payment and a few other bills we needed to pay before the end of the month. God is always so faithful and takes such wonderful care of us. When we picked up the kids they were full of stories of the day to the point they were talking over each other. Although I had to make them talk one at a time, I am so thankful they are so eager to share their day with us. Kristy’s leg/hip is feeling better but continue to keep her in our prayers. She is such a wonderful mother and I am thankful she is so excited about Maverick. She takes such good care of him already. Please pray for our horse, Buddy. This morning when we fed him, he didn’t come to eat. This evening he still had not eaten. We went out in the field and find him in very bad shape. We believe he has a very bad case of horse influenza. We brought him into a stall and tomorrow we are hoping the vet will be able to help him and get him to eat!
Please pray for this need, I know it is a horse but God is not limited. Most of all we don’t want him to suffer. We also have a cilvil court hearing coming up and really want God’s Will in it all. We love all of you and appreciate your love, prayers and support. Pastor Aaron and Kristy

We are called to Love! Like Christ Loved!

2008-02-26T05:30:00.000-08:00

There is love and then there is Kingdom Love!

We are called to love, That seems like such an easy command. Yet we must realize that God has placed into each Christian the ability to have complete agape/love. Not just for our friends, family or those we like. We are called to love those who hate us, talk evil about us and despitefully use us. For this is the love of God. Today each of us will come into contact with these kind of people and we can avoid them but God called us to actively love them. Read this very challenging scripture, it is for each of us. Then answer to yourself truthfully the questions below.

Luke 6:32-38
32 "If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' love those who love them. 33 And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' do that. 34 And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' lend to 'sinners,' expecting to be repaid in full. 35 But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. 36 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. 37 "Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. 38 Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."

We often write this scripture off by saying we love them in our heart. Let us examine what it means to actively love our enemies.

1 Cor 13:4-7
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

We can say that we Love people but Christian love is one who loves those who hates them. Are You Patient with those who are angry and hateful towards you? ______ Do you what the best for those who flaunt what they have in your face and use what they have and who they are to make you feel like you are nothing and have nothing? ______ Do you speak well privately, of those who boast publicly for their greatness? ______ When you are treated rudely do you speak kind back? ______ Do you look for ways to serve those who hate you or to those who just get under your skin? ______ Do you speak to frustrate or bring peace? ___________ Do you choose to release people from their wrongs without even being asked or do you hold their wrong doings and sins against them? ___________ Do you find pleasure in your thoughts of someone's failure or demise? __________ Do you love to speak the truth in love to restore or condemn? ________ Do you protect those who hurt you by stopping slander and gossip about them? _____________ Do you trust or desire the best for those who hate you? ________________ Do you trust even when you might look foolish for trusting someone who uses you? _____ Do you hope the best for those who hate you? _______ Are you willing to restore and sacrifice for, those who willingly hurt you? ________

I think we get the point. God loves us, which means he can answer correctly, these questions, about each one of us. God put this kind of love in you. Just let it begin to flow out of you. Don’t love so they will change. Love actively even if they never change. Love others as unto the Lord. I must say this is very hard but it is the will of God for our lives. Love someone that is hard to love, today. Learn to love everyone actively everyday. I am challenged how about you. I will pray for you to learn to love and please pray for me to learn the same.

Current Family and Ministry Update: Not a whole lot to mention today, except paint, paint, tape and more paint. This was my day off and I spent the early morning on the phone doing business. Then I began painting and tomorrow after work I am hoping to finish most of the painting that we have started. Around eight we met with our Master Directors, Chris and Kori Cheek who had just returned from a month long ministry tour. It was so great to see them. We missed them and the kids so much this year. I am leaving in just a little while to go and visit Trigger before she goes into surgery. Please keep her in your prayers. We love you, Pastor Aaron and Kristy Taylor

If You Love Me?You Will Do What I Say! Jesus?

2008-02-25T00:56:00.000-08:00

This is a wonderful truth, We will keep His words if we Love Him but learn how and Why Below!
John 14:15-24
15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever — 17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.
19 "A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. 20 At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. 21 He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him."
22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, "Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?"
23 Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. 24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father's who sent Me. NKJV

If you Love me, you will keep my Commandments. When we hear this, we often associate this statements with God’s love for us. This is not about God’s love for us or about God’s acceptance. I John 2:15-17 (listed below) makes this statement much more understandable. This is about fruit. God is the one who loves us and gives us the ability to have a divine agape love relationship with Himself as well as with others. God has given us love, His kind of love, completely unconditional and sacrificial love for Him and for others. One of the fruits of the Spirit is Agape Love. From this we understand that if you possess agape love, obedience to the commands/Word of God will be your desire and ultimate end. The result of real love is obedience to Christ. Jesus was not speaking a condemning word but conveying a truth about God’s love in us. God desires to place His Spirit into each one of us. When He does it will produce fruit. One part and the greatest part of that fruit is Love.

1 John 2:15-17
15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For everything in the world — the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does — comes not from the Father but from the world. 17 The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever. NIV

This statement out of 1 John is important to understand. What I want us to really look at is (the love of the Father is not in him). This is possible. If we are living by the flesh thus we are not being let by the Spirit. The fruit of the Spirit is love. If we are lovers of the world, we are not being led by the Spirit and the love of God is not in us. Accepting Christ into our hearts is the only way to receive/accept the God kind of love (agape).

REMINDER:
We don’t love God or reject the world to be led by the Spirit. We accept Christ, He then gives us His Spirit and we can be led by His Spirit. Immediately, by God’s Grace, He begins to produce fruit and causes us to be able to love God.
Last night a lady who did not know Christ called and said, “how do I love God”. God was drawing her to Him, but until she commits her life to Christ she cannot really love God. Agape/love is a fruit of being led by the Spirit.
We are drawn to God by His Spirit via many avenues. We walk into the Kingdom of God through the door (Christ). There is no other way, Christ said that many will try other ways, but he was the only way, anyone who declares another way is a thief and a liar. Once we have accepted Christ. At that very moment, God places His Spirit in us and as we allow His Spirit to quicken our spirit, we become alive unto God. Then we begin to produce or have the Fruit of the Spirit.
If we tell an unbeliever to “love God,” he is in a quandary, because except for the external drawing of the Spirit by/because of God’s love for him, he has no ability to love God. It is better to tell the unbeliever that God loves them and has sacrificed for them and He will teach them to love Him. We also are called to show them our love for God by our love for one another. Go out today and show everyone the unconditional and sacrificial love.

Current Family and Ministry Update:
I am sorry that I have not written for a few days. No excuses, but I will quickly catch you up. Friday we worked with our guests, Decatur Alabama Master Commission, selling Krispy Kreme Donuts for a fundraiser to help them with their West coast trip. We did great and sold all of our donuts. Kristy and I then had a late night tax appointment. Praise the Lord we are getting a refund. We had a late dinner with Jon and Kelly. They are the best. We are so blessed to have them as Pastors in our church. Saturday, We slept in. This had to be one of my favorite parts of the week. No doubt, it was Kristy’s best part of the week. Saturday evening we met Derek From D.M.C and had five hours of wonderful fellowship. We have a real kindred spirit between us. I am thankful for our friendship. Sunday was a wonderful morning and D.M.C. did a wonderful Job. Worship was great and God was awesome in the altar time. He really spoke to many including me and my family. Carrie Goodson came home from being in Arizona. I was wonderful to see her and have her home. We can’t wait to see her husband David get home. We took the Masters team to Home Town Buffet and many of the church people joined us. Counting everyone, there we almost sixty. We then ran home and got the rest of the sheetrock dust swept up from our home. Our home group was a great time of fellowship, testimony, and prayer. To really know what I mean you would have really had to be there. Please pray for Kristy, because her right hip is really hurting her. Tomorrow is our day off and I hope she will be able to get some rest and I will be trying to finish more of the painting on the addition. Our Heart of David team retuned from their Idaho ministry trip and tomorrow our Master Commission team will be returning. I know that we all miss them very much. God is getting God is wanting to bless you! Accept His blessing, thank Him for it and bless someone else with it! Serving a wonderful God, Pastor Aaron

Confident Love Even to the Very End!The Word of the Kingdom is LOVE.

2008-02-21T21:39:00.000-08:00

Our greatest place of security should be found in the Love of God, yet it is important for us to realize that the fact that God loves us is incomplete until it is received. God showed us His love by loving us enough to die for us and reestablishing within us the ability for a relationship. But a relationship is incomplete unless both parties enter into the vow/commitment. God loves us to a degree that is beyond our comprehension to understand or to reciprocate. Yet God ignites our love by His spirit in our hearts that our soul can respond to Him bringing alive the covenant that has been made. 1Jn 4:17 (printed below) shows that the love of God should enable us to the point of understanding that there is no reason for fear. That the only fear is a fear and awe of respect towards God. But no other fear (fear as a degree of torment) should be in a believer’s life.
A boldness comes from the understanding that we have been invited into a kingdom where no judgment can be measured against us as long as we remain in the kingdom, partaking of the fruit of the kingdom. Which means that we can stand bold in the day of judgment knowing that the blood of Christ will be our sufficient plea. In this one aspect of God’s love for us as well as the many other facets of His love shows us that we can be confident in His love.
Being a pastor over the last 20 years I have seen and counseled so many who aren’t confident in their covenant relationships. Marriages where people are together, yet their hearts are far from each other. They lack confidence in each other as well as in their demonstrated love. God wants us to understand the confidence that we can have in His love and have it translated into our relationships here on this earth. As we can learn to have confidence in the love that abides in the heavenly kingdom of God, we can then begin to pull down into our own lives and relationships, that same kind of unconditional love. It’s easy to be confident in God’s love for us and we know in our own hearts whether we love God or not. If we do, it is easy to be confident in our love towards God. But God has asked us to go further and translate that love into our daily relationships with others. God has asked us to not only have faith and love in Him but to have faith and love in others. I know with many hurts and pains that have been caused in relationships, trust seems almost impossible, yet God has demonstrated His love towards us that while we were yet failures (sinners) Christ loved us. That while we were unfaithful and even haters of God, He died for us/sacrificed for us. I know that this is hard to realize that it isn’t enough to just love God, but to love others with the same kind of love that He has loved us.
John 6:24 states that because of our faith and love for Christ as we believe in Him there is no judgment against us. This means that His mercy has taken away all past and present judgments that we may live. God is not only asking us to receive His love but to demonstrate His love to others. He has given us both the grace to receive His love and to show His love towards others. Have the God kind of love you enter into a place where you begin to cease judging one another’s motives and begin to see one another with a pure heart. God does not keep a record of wrong, love doesn’t keep a record of wrong and you cannot keep a record of wrong. We are called to set people free as Christ has set us free and to be confident in them as God has been confident in us. As you read the scriptures below you will have a better understanding of what I am talking about. The greatest thing we have is love for God and each other. But we have to begin to have confidence in one another. Setting people free from the sins of their past that you could live in a true covenant relationship being confident in God’s love that dwells in all of His people.

1 John 4:7-21
7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 9 In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. 10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us. 13 By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world. 15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 16 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him. 17 Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. 19 We love Him because He first loved us.
20 If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? 21 And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also. NKJV
1 John 4:17-19

Truly, truly I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life"
John 5:24

Current Ministry and Family Update:
This is a day that the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it. I began the day by meeting with a crew that we had hired that was taking down a very large tree between the church property and the neighbors home. It was very difficult not only because of the cost, but I didn’t want to take the tree down. Our neighbor was complaining of sap falling from it on to his side of the fence. He asked us to cut it down and to be honest with you, it didn’t want to because I liked the tree and it wasn’t a nuisance for us and I didn’t want to spend the money to cut it down. We drug our feet for awhile, but God convicted me about it and challenged me to be a good neighbor. Sometimes it costs you to be a good neighbor. So we began the day by having to remove a large tree near our playground area, but it did seem to make our neighbor happy because the sap from the tree won’t fall on his side of the fence anymore. It is challenging sometimes when you have to yield to others for their benefit when you cannot find any benefit of your own, only a sacrifice, but when it is over you find that the benefit is in your heart. Then the rest of the day made me realize just how old I am getting. A couple of people came to help us move 42,000 lbs of food by hand. One of our volunteers ending up having to leave after getting his toes smashed. Please pray for him, his name is Dale, he accepted the Lord the night before. It was a tiring but very exciting day. We were able to set aside large amounts of food for our weekly hot meal to the homeless ministry (Field of Dreams), our Cottage Grove women’s shelter (Love Links) and for our Masters Commission students. We were also able to share large amounts of food with The Prayer house in Salem for their upcoming missions trip and their food box ministry as well as River of Life for their community outreach feeding program that feeds over 2500 families per month. And believe it or not, we still had food left over to share with the Eugene Mission. It was a long day, yet my heart wanted to leap out of my chest knowing how much good will come from this food and how thankful I am that God used us. Once we were finished moving the food, Decatur Alabama’s Masters Commission (who we are housing at our church for 4 days while they are doing ministry) showed up. It was great to see them. They are wonderful kids and they made us miss our Masters Commission more (if that’s even possible). I ate my only meal of the day on the run and only had about an hour with my wife before I had to leave to drive to Portland to pick up Krispy Kreme Donuts for our fundraiser that starts at 6:00 am. It was around 2:00 am by the time that I got home. Please pray that today’s fundraiser will be a blessing the Masters Commission that is here and to our own church ministries that are here. No matter what you go through today, remember that God made this day for you. He desires for you to be confident in His love and to confidently reach out and love others. Especially when they don’t deserve it. Both Kristy and I love and appreciate all of you who are so faithful to this ministry. Love, Pastor Aaron and his family of 5 1/2

The Word of the Kingdom - Love (Continued)

2008-02-21T05:00:00.001-08:00

LOVE IS ALL THESE THINGS, DO YOU REALLY LOVE?
This is an explanation of what love (agape) really is. It is a way to gauge yourself. Love is an action and displays the character of Christ!

1 Corinthians 13:4-13
4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. 13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. NKJV

Tonight we had a wonderful Adult Bible study. Tom Haeg spoke tonight and amazingly he spoke on the love of God. It didn’t take much to get me stirred up. Love is all over scripture. God’s very essence/nature is love. Love is a choice. God gives us love by His Spirit. It is a fruit of the Spirit. It grows in the kingdom of God and the Word says that the kingdom is established inside of you. Love is not a feeling but the fruit or effects of love is very emotional. We don’t love because of how we feel, but when we love, we definitely feel. Our emotions are effected by our love. It is important that we know that God has birthed His agape (love) in our hearts. It flows from His Spirit and causes our soul to respond correctly. Soul = mind, will and emotions. These all three are drastically effected and developed by His love. As love flows from the Spirit to effect our souls, it then begins to cause our actions to conform to the will of God. Tomorrow I will deal with the obedience of Love. (If you Love me??????)

Current Family and Ministry Update:
What a amazing day in the Lord! I had back to back to back appointments all day with paperwork slammed in between but it was a wonderful day. I was able to get most of my computer back up and running. I am short some of my calendar and email information. Tomorrow I am going to have a computer tech take one more stab at it. Please pray for full restoration of my computer (that sounds a little weird). Don’t get me wrong, I was thrilled to get as much restored as I did. We received some shirts that say Maverick (the name of our soon to be born son). I also wanted to share with you a picture of our babies about to possibly feel a little displaced. Herkemur (don’t ask) and Diesel.
Tonight at our Adult Bible Study, it began it right. In fact before I even arrived and before my wife started worship, a man named Dale came forward and asked Jesus into his heart. He was very genuine and touched by the Lord. Praise the LORD! Please pray for Dale. He has some difficult situations to face, but he’s very excited to have Jesus in his life. We also had a time of testimony where one after another spoke up to tell of how God was working miracles in their lives. Display the love of Jesus all day long. Let the fruit of Christ flow today. Pastor Aaron

LOVE is Kind! Do you Love? Etc…...

The Word of the Kingdom - Love

2008-02-20T06:20:00.000-08:00

I don’t wish to sound like a broken record (Skipping CD) but I am far from being done with talking about the Kingdom. This week I am excited to speak about a wonderful subject, LOVE! The Kingdom of God has fruit, the fruit of the Kingdom is the fruit of the Spirit. The greatest of these is Love!
We must start by determining who can really love! And what does Love really mean.
This is an offensive questions for some. Having to face that not everyone can really love!
God has a nature and the very essence of God is Love.

1 John 4:7-8
7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

DOES THIS MEAN THAT ONLY CHRISTIANS CAN TRULY LOVE AND THOSE WHO DO NOT LOVE ARE NOT CHRISTIANS? YES & NO

Love is translated many different words in the Bible, We have to know what Love we are speaking of and what the context is, before we can answer this correctly.

You must be born again (born of God/His Spirit) to ever really possess a true agape love. I say that and hope you understand that because you have prayed the sinners prayer does not mean you are one who produces the God kind of Love at all times but you should and have complete access to agape love. In understanding Phileo Love, you must know that it comes from agape loves and is often mistaken for the out flow that is from God.

Non Christians can love, but not with a true God kind of Love until the are born of God!

UNDERSTANDING LOVES:
There are many kinds of loves, three main kinds of loves:
-Agape/agapeo = The God kind of Love - Christian Love - Self sacrifice to the point of death. The most often used for love in the bible. The kind of love where others matter more than ones comfort and even life. Completely selfless love.
-Phileo = Brotherly love, Care and human kindness. Natural love that is effected my human nature, human kindness. This is not agape love but is derived from it. We are not called to have this kind of love alone. We have agape love which is far better.
-Eros = gratification, of a sexual nature / strong desire. Derived out of what feels good. This is not evil in nature but has a tendency to be selfish without one possessing agape love.

This word come from the word Love (they come from Phileo word for Love):
-philanthropia = is a love for money. 1 Tim 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many grief's.

This word comes from Eros type of Love:
-thelo, "to wish," is translated "love" (RV, "desire"). Mark 12:38

Agape Love is found in the Kingdom of God. The Cross of Jesus (His death and resurrection) gives us access to the Kingdom of God. Love is a fruit we find growing in the Kingdom. As Christians we must live, enter in and eat in the Kingdom so we can love the way we are suppose to.

Read this scripture with this understanding and it is much more understand able! These words love are all translated/defined as Agape Love!
1 John 4:7-21
7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 9 In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. 10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us. 13 By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world. 15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 16 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him. 17 Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. 19 We love Him because He first loved us. 20 If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? 21 And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also. NKJV

Enter the Kingdom daily(at all times) and eat of Gods Love so you can love like God! Much more tomorrow, Pastor Aaron

Current family and ministry updates! Yesterday was a wonderful day. I began the day with dropping off the kids at their schools. Then off to meet with our ministry staff to pray. We had a great time of prayer.
Pastor Jon needs all our prayer because he has been struggling with an extreme rash. The Doctor says it’s viral and I say it has no place in Jon’s life. So lets stand together that is dissipates immediately. After our prayer time, we had a short staff meeting about our food distribution for this week, Decatur AL Masters Commissions ministering with us starting Friday, our Friday fundraiser and a few other things. The rest of my day was spent in the office trying to get caught up. God was amazing on every level.
I was honored to meet a Lady who has started coming to Crossfire Family Worship Center in just the last month. She came in and we talked for quite a while. She has taken in her nephew who lost his mother and brother in a fire last year. She began to share about her life and testimony of Gods grace. She was very involved in ministry for many years but then found herself hurt and rejected. God has drawn her back and she loves our Church. As a pastor I love to hear that. She told me the best complement that our church can have. She said when she came in everyone was nice but what really hit her was that the presence of God was so obvious. I just love to hear that. I am so thankful and honored by Gods presence in our meetings. Lets keep humble and hungry for God abiding with us when we come together in His manifest presence.
I spent the evening with my family. I am thankful to God, he is very good to me. One huge, praise the Lord, is that I was able to get most of my data off of my crashed hard drive. I now have most of my information retrieved and now I have a back up system.
Praise be to Jesus. I believe that God knew how much I could handle and losing all of my work for the last year, must not have been something I could handle. Ha Ha!

Lets live in the Kingdom being led by God’s Spirit, today and everyday. Love and bless as many people as you can on this day that the Lord has made for you. Rejoice and be glad!

A Wonderful Day in the Kingdom

2008-02-19T02:39:00.000-08:00

Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in his ways. 2 You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours. 3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your sons will be like olive shoots around your table. 4 Thus is the man blessed who fears the Lord. 5 May the Lord bless you from Zion all the days of your life; may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem, 6 and may you live to see your children's children. Peace be upon Israel. Ps 128NIV

My Children had the day off today due to the national holiday. Today was painting day. My oldest daughter and my son both made other plans (although they knew the day was emanate). They wanted to get their new rooms painted but they also wanted to do other things. I reminded them of the importance of the day and why we needed to work and they quickly acknowledge the importance of the day.
It was not as if they wanted to go out and do evil things. Lauren wanted to get together with some friends to work on a school project due at the end of the week. Jet wanted to go out and try and find some buried treasure. (no Joke he really did). Haley like always just wanted to stay at home and play some games. Nothing evil, in fact all very wholesome and productive things. The problem was painting needed to happen. Our little kingdom/home needed to get painted.
The Kingdom of God is often found in disrepair or needing to expand. There are many good and wholesome things we could go and do but there are also some things that we need to do to make sure that we are growing each day and that the Kingdom is expanding. God has called this church to move forward and we are doing just that. Today was a BIG work day for us as afamily and those days must come along once in a while, just like in the Kingdom of God.
Real progress in not made in the bog days. Real progress is found in the consistently moving forward day after day. I want to encourage us all to be part of the Kingdom each day. Live everyday. Don’t just be alive but truly live. When each day is done. Let us recognize the progress that we have made and the miracles God has preformed. Let us look back on each day and know that we have done the will of our Father and have gotten to know Him more. Let us also make sure that as God blesses us that we are also being a blessing to others. We all have the ability to be Jesus to someone each day.
Today, I worked with my family. My wife, being pregnant, had to work from a far (due to the paint fumes) so she ran around and got supplies and took a few crazy pictures of us all. You see today was my day off from work and although we worked very hard at home, my family worked together for a common purpose. This was life building and life changing for them. We came together as a family to accomplish something they admittedly, didn’t know if it would ever get accomplished. We are far from done but we made progress.
Each day we need to ask ourselves did we make any real progress towards the hopes and dreams God has put in our hearts. Was their any eternal value to our day? The real progress of my day had very little to do with our new home addition. It had everything to do with my children learning to work together and building a stronger relationships with each other. We had a wonderful day in the Kingdom! Today you will have a choice to live in the Kingdom (Realm of God) following His Spirit or just exist another day! Have a wonderful day in the Kingdom.

-Kingdom Builders love and take good care of their families and love ones, Unity in our personal and church family is so very important to see the fulfillment of the will of God in our lives. Let our families be whole and let God’s church be in unity.
25 Jesus knew their thoughts and replied, "Any kingdom divided by civil war is doomed. A town or family splintered by feuding will fall apart. Matt 12:25

Current family and Ministry Update: I spent the early morning coordinating this weeks food donations. We are working with some churches and other ministries to help them with the excess of this last huge semi of food we received. I was so blessed Sunday to see the distribution begin. I loved seeing it going out to be used. Our Cottage Grove women’s shelter (love link) received the first boxes on Sunday. We also had two men give their hearts to Christ and many testified of a breakthrough concerning their battles with depression. One young lady came up to me after service was over and told me that she came to church today because she knew she needed to get her life right and from the moment she arrived she felt Jesus and made a commitment of her Life to Christ. She told me that she had never felt so free. Another lady told me how her and her son accepted Christ three weeks ago and each week God seems to use the message to speak to her with exactly where she is at with what she needs. Sunday evening Jon Fargher spoke about what it means in the Bible to shout. It was a great message that really got everyone stirred up! God is truly doing great things. Pray for me because tomorrow they find out if they can recover any of my lost data and contacts from my crashed computer. As I mentioned above, I spent most of my day off painting with my family. Then I spend a late night trying to get my programs restored onto my new hard drive. We are getting there. I finally have my Bible program back and working. Praise the Lord. It is honestly hard to live without that. I speak for Kristy and myself when I tell you all that we appreciate your love and support towards us. Have a wonderful day in the Kingdom and be a blessing to someone today, Pastor Aaron

Computer Meltdown

2008-02-17T08:27:00.000-08:00

Please Pray for me this morning. Last might I had a complete computer melt down. My hard drive of my computer will not even start up (boot up). My last backup was six months ago. I know, Not very smart! I will be trying to get it going this afternoon. Right now I am using my wife's computer. I am still very excited about this morning. I hope I will see many of you this morning where we can worship together. For those who are not a part of Crossfire Family Worship Center, I hope you fellowship someplace and God's inhabits your place of worship this morning.

Current Family & Ministry News: We began Saturday with a funeral for Bella O'Connor. It was a real honor to officiate the services for this great family. It was a beautiful time of memorializing her life. We were able to fellowship with the family and many of our church members. It was a hard time for David and Joanne but a wonderful time also. I huge thank you to Janice and Trigger for all their hard work on the food.
I then had the privilege of officiating the wedding of John and Becky. The wedding was beautiful and Gods presence was felt. I pray even now God's best for them and that God would have His way in their life. The rest of the evening (what was left of it) I spent with my family and preparing for Sunday morning. I am excited for what God will do in the hearts of people today. What new miracles will happen today. Be blessed and be a blessing, Pastor Aaron

The Joy of The Kingdom of God! (expounded)

2008-02-16T03:53:00.000-08:00

IMPORTANT! (If you read nothing else)
Make sure you scroll down and at least read the last three paragraphs of today’s “Current Family & Ministry News!”

The “Kingdom is Joy” (not just some Joy but full of Joy)!
Rom 14:17-18 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. 18 For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men.
-The Kingdom (Kings Realm) in NOT Flesh (Good or Bad flesh it isn’t flesh or even soul) Although if dealt with correctly it cannot help but restore/effect both of those things.

-Remember, we are triune beings:
Body (Flesh, old man, fallen nature) - Soul (mind, will and emotions) - Spirit (made alive upon salvation)
-Rom 14:17
then says the Kingdom is RIGHTEOUSNESS - Right standing with God and Man—achieved at the Cross!
Peace = Prosperity of our Spirit—a fruit of the Spirit,
The JOY = This is also a Fruit of the Spirit, All the Fruits of the Spirit are found in Kingdom Living!

Joy is not happiness, Happiness is a fruit of Joy, when Joy flows into the soul realm.
Happiness is often but should not always be based on circumstances.
Happiness defined is makarios; a prolonged form of the poetical makar:; supremely blest; by extension, fortunate, well off:

Comparison example for better understanding: Depression-Sadness vs. Joy-Happiness

Depression is a total work of the flesh; It is part of our fallen nature effected by sin, You may say that depression is chemical. I would agree that it often but not always is. Depression in and of ourselves in not an emotion but it effects our emotions/mind( soul) through extreme sadness. It is part of our sinful, fallen nature. Depression is the effects of an attack of an evil spirit upon our flesh. It is manifested spiritually and sometimes physically (chemically, acting out). Sadness is the effects on our soul (mind, will and emotions) due to circumstances. Sadness is often but not always the effects on our soul from our flesh being depressed in one degree or another.

Joy is a total work of the Spirit; It is the part of us without sin and made alive by Christ alone. Joy is not an emotion but it causes great emotion. You can have happiness without Joy but Happiness (blissful circumstances) doesn’t bring true Joy. Luke 10:21 says that your Joy is made complete in the Spirit. The truth, (Word of God) by the Spirit revealed, also brings true Joy. We are told to have Joy even in persecution and trials James 1:2. Joy of the Lord is our strength according to Ne 8:10. Joy is a fruit of living a Kingdom life / being led by the Spirit in all things.

Matt 6:31-34
31 "Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

WHEN WE SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM:
Then we need not worry because the fruit of God’s Spirit begins to supernaturally take effect on our lives. As the fruit of the Kingdom grows it begins to manifest the will of God in our Soul and our Bodies. When we seek first the Kingdom of God, supernaturally God begins to take care of every need. Remember we gain access into the Kingdom by His righteousness gained for us at the cross. When we begin to live in the Kingdom (what are you waiting for) there is a Spiritual nature (supernatural/miraculous) that begins to take effect. It awaits each of us.

KINGDOM DIMENSIONS:
How deep can I go into the Kingdom? How High can I go in the Kingdom?

NO LIMITS!!!!!!!!!! God is Love (another fruit of the Kingdom) Eph 3:18

I am going to stop here but I can’t wait to preach Sunday. Be there if you can and if for some reason you can’t, the live Podcast and audio broadcast will be free as it is happening and available all week. There is nothing like being there. God is moving in our services. From the moment the prayer warriors gather before the meeting, through the alter call and the closing prayer. Don’t just show up, come jump in. The river is great! Let God be God in you this weekend!

Current Family & Ministry News: We had a wonderful (very FULL) day! It began with a field trip with Haley and ended with one of the greatest words of encouragement I have ever received.
I had the privilege of taking off the morning and going to a field trip with my lovely daughter Haley and her school. Normally Kristy would have went but she had a Dr. appointment for her and our baby (Maverick). This was the first one I missed but it was in full support of Kristy because she knew how important the field trip was. Kristy caught up with us after her appointment and both the field trip and the Doctor’s appointment we great. Kristy and I then ran two different directions running errands for a few hours. I then went to John and Becky wedding rehearsal. I am very excited for them, their big day is tomorrow and I wish them God’s best.
Then we rounded us, our kids and some from church then headed to Salem for a Concert with Matthew west, Jeremy Camp and Toby Mac. The kids totally loved it. Kristy and I saw literally hundreds of people we have known over the years. We hugged a lot of necks and had a fabulous time. One person stood out and encouraged me so very much.
A girl in her late teens or early twenties came up to me during the concert and asked if I remembered her. Her face seemed vaguely familiar. She told me that she had came to a Crossfire camp when she was in the seventh grade from Roseburg with a friend. She then told me that see accepted the Lord there and her life was changed forever. Her eyes started to tear up and she said that ever since then she has been living for God and going to Church. She said, “I try and watch you on TV every chance I get.” She said Jesus has changed my life through your ministry. She grabbed me by the neck and gave me a huge hug. I told her that she had encouraged me so very much. She said she was glad and told me her name was Danielle. The she said see had to go and disappeared into the crowd. Praise Jesus! Is all I can say. God’s hand is not shortened and he does amazing things. We need to all be very grateful that he can use us to work His miracles like he did in this girl’s life.
I then got everyone home safe and opened my email and received a request to preach in India, and another in Africa. Then I read this wonderful email from a young man serving our country in Afghanistan. He said that he had gotten my email from our website and that he had went to our Summer and Winter camps all through High school. He said he was trying to reach his fellow soldiers and as of right now he is the only Christian in his unit. He was asking for advice on how to reach them with the Gospel. Pray for me that my response would be anointed and help him in this very vital mission. To win the lost for Jesus! Thanks for you love, prayers and support, Pastor Aaron
