2021 Volume 30 Issue 15 “The Christian Prayer”
Surely some of you have prayed this prayer:
“Father, we come before you today asking for forgiveness of our sins and to seek guidance and direction. We know your Word says, “Woe to those that call evil good.” This is exactly what we h ave done. We have completely lost our morals and reversed our values. *We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery. *We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare. * We have killed our unborn and called it choice. * We have neglected to discipline our children and called it self esteem. * We have abused the power and called it politics. * We have coveted our neighbor’s possessions and called it ambition. * We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression. * We have stood lightly by and watched men marry men and women marry women and called it civil union. * We’ve watched as they ripped the Ten Commandments off the walls of our government buildings and made it against the law to teach Jesus in schools and called it separation of church and state. Search our hearts Lord and forgive us of our sins. This country needs an awakening, but please allow Mercy and Grace to be present. We ask this in Jesus’ name, Amen.” Christian’, it’s time to take action against the devil. God has given us the boldness, wisdom and sound mind to do so. We must use the tools He has furnished and defeat the enemy once and for all. When shall we start? Right now! Where shall we start? Right where you are. What shall we do? Stand firm on Christian principles and values. Teach them at home, in your neighborhood and throughout your community. Settle for nothing less than complete honesty, dignity and Christian morality in your life and from those you come in contact with.
Sharing The Gift
What a better gift could you possibly give another person than sharing the gift of eternal life? Each time our telecast airs, we share the gift with millions of people. The Bible teach us, that faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. Please take the time to call family and friends and tell them to watch our telecast on CW 22 Raleigh, NC Sunday mornings at 8:30 am, WNCR-TV Rocky Mount, NC Sunday morning at 9 am and Mon.-Sat. 11 am, WWAY-TV Wilmington Sunday morning at 10 am and The Word Network, National Monday’s at 1 am.
Holy Ghost Movement
We are experiencing a great movement of God in our church and Ministry. As we move forward into the last days, as we know them, we are going to see and feel the power of God move right before our eyes. In acts 2:17, the Bible says, “And it shall come to pass in the last days saith God, I will pour out of my spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions and your old men shall dream dreams:” Prophesying is the foretelling of future events. This is done when the Holy Spirit moves upon a person and God speaks through them to instruct direct or warn His people of things to come. We know most churches or should we say, denominations, don’t understand or believe in prophesying, but God’s Word says, different. There’s a movement taking place and we should all want to be right in the middle of it. You have to feel it to understand it. We invite you to come worship with us, one time and feel the presence of our Lord and Saviour move in the service. We have always been able to feel His presence. If you live within driving distance, please make plans to visit one of these Holy Ghost filled services and get your blessings. This is one church that welcomes the Holy Spirit and believes in the gifts of the Spirit. We feel that is why the Lord is moving so. He knows He is welcome here at Crossroads Church.
We Are Chosen
How precious is it to know we have been chosen by God, Himself, to spend eternity with Him and Jesus Christ? We may not have been chosen to be a great singing idle or a movie start, but we are special. There could never be a higher honor, on earth, than to be chosen by God to be His child. The Bible clearly tells us in John 15:16, that we didn’t choose Him, but He chose us. We were called unto repentance and this calling is very special. In John 6:44 and 6:65, Christ clearly tells us, that we cannot come unto Him except we be drawn or called by God. He then tells us in John 6:37-39, “All who the Father giveth me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. For I came down from Heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of Him that sent me. And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which He hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.” I don’t know about where you live, but around here, those are shouting words. We, Christians, have so much to look forward to. We know that this life is temporary. We shall live with our Saviour forever.

Sinner’s Prayer
If the Holy Ghost has placed you under conviction, you fear of going to hell, you need to repent and ask Jesus to come into your heart. Please repeat: Father God, I’m a sinner, please forgive my sins. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Your Son and I believe in my heart You raised Him from the dead. I ask Jesus to come into my heart and be my Saviour, Amen.
