Please Join us as we welcome Messianic Rabbi, Stephen Luft !

Shalom Brethren!

 Some of us believers are blessed indeed by actually visiting The Holy Land. Some of us like our ministry's endeared Rev. Dr. Wilbert D. Gough, have had the opportunity to experience an exposure to the Jewish mind-set, which I'm confident is the mind-set of our Lord and Savior,
Jesus Christ ( Yeshua ha Mashiach ) !

Although late notice, we would like to welcome you to join us yet again at FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH of KITTERY POINT, Maine this Sunday, December 11th at 10:00 AM, when we will be Blessed by Messianic Rabbi Stephen Luft, of MAINE'S FIRST and ONLY  MESSIANIC SYNAGOGUE .... KEHILA HOUSE. Rabbi Stephen ( my graceful and guiding seminary lesson tutor and Brother ) has graciously agreed to present us with a Sunday Sermon that we fully believe will be pleasing to Our Father God, Adonai, as both  MESSIANIC ' believing Jew and Christian will be " Praying,Worshiping, and having Fellowship "Together" in HIS Holy Name ".

What a Rare Opportunity to Share Worship, to Edify one another in Christ, to His Glory!

WE PRAY YOU MIGHT JOIN US for This RARE BLESSING of Fellowship within the Body of Christ.

Feel free to peruse the Kehila House site link above. Additionally, and in technologically challenging for a knucklehead like me, the following is a YouTube link attempt to a video presented by Messianic Rabbi Schneider of " Discovering The Jewish Jesus Ministries ", whom I have followed since the inception of my continued Messianic and Jewish seminary studies.

I found this video to be a very good introduction into Scriptural Covenants, and God's intended interaction between Jew and Gentile as we TOGETHER, 'Grow the Remnant', as prophesied

to prepare One New Man to the satisfaction of God (Adonai), and  necessary for Our Saviors RETURN !

                                 GOD BLESS YOU, and HOPE to SEE YOU THERE !

Step With Christ, and share in the Holy Spirit Gifts of the TIM JANIS ENSEMBLE !

Happy Holidays Brethren !

Are you ready for an early Christmas Gift ?   Please join us as we join The Tim Janis Ensemble
 at FIRST PARISH CHURCH on Dec. 12th, as Tim and company share their Holy Spirit Gifts of soul inspiring Christmas Music. Once again! York's own Internationally recognized musician,
Mr. Tim Janis who has over 10 charting Billboard  CD's, and over 1 Million albums sold, and several National Public Television Specials

York, Maine. This joint community endeavor has been a very pleasing gift to our community and far beyond, as Tim's following continues to grow at an alarming rate ! WE THANK YOU BOTH!

So!, please join us as Tim returns home to York after his upcoming performance of ' The American Christmas Carol ' at CARNEGIE HALL. Just in time for First Parish Church, to once again host Tim as he presents his Musical Gift of  a ' CHRISTMAS with TIM JANIS '  !!!

With Prayers We See You There!

THANKSGIVING ! , ... yesterday, today, and every Day !

Shalom and Happy Thanksgiving To All !

Albeit a day late, Step With Christ Ministries would like to extend our Heartfelt blessings of Thanksgiving to our Fellowship Family, our Southern Maine partner Churches, our inter-church
Ministry and Missionary Partners, and most of all to Our Loving and Gracious Father, Savior, and Holy Spirit whom provide all ' Manna ', equaling the joyful sustenance promised us in Holy Scripture.
Very eloquently and concisely put forward by Yeshua 's early Christian and Apostolic Church,
" Thanksgiving is a natural development of Christian Worship ( 1 Cor. 16-17 ) and is to characterize all Christian Life ( Col. 2:7; 4:2 ) ... Thankfulness was expressed for national Deliverance  ( Ps. 44: 7-8 ), God's Covenant Faith ( Ps. 100:5 ), and Personal Thankfulness to
God, ( Adonai ) ( Ps 35:19 )

Thanksgiving,... Gratitude directed toward God, generally in response to God's concrete

acts in history. Thanksgiving was very central to OLD TESTAMENT worship, ultimately and

cohesively adding to the paramount fact that The Holy Bible is ONE HARMONIOUS BOOK !

Last night when I began this Thanksgiving blog post, I reflected on the multitude of God sent blessings I and we have received this year. There were many !, despite the very fact that day by day,

Godly Morality seems to become more and more convoluted. This could very easily be the case for a great many people. But as Children of God, as we mature, we learn to look for Godly signs, and

what we have begun to call, ... " Affirmations by Our Father ".

How easy it is to be caught in the 'doom n' gloom'  of what certainly seems like a failing morality.

But I beg of you , ..... Please look back at Franklin Graham's DECISION AMERICA 2016

Prayer Rally Prayer, which is simply a strong and powerful Prayer for God's protection and Intervention. A Prayer,..... an unequivocal Biblical Prayer, which has been used and ANSWERED

time and time again throughout Biblical HISTORY. I speak of course of Franklin Graham's 2nd 

Chronicles prayer plea.

I do indeed believe with a completely circumcised heart, that God's people have Prayed in zeal and fervently for God to realize our heartfelt repentance, and Prayed for Him to hear, and for God to heal our land.

At this point my brethren, if we look for His signs, it certainly appears to many that God has indeed heard our cries from Heaven. Indeed, and with steadfast Faith in God, it appears He has afforded his children a sort of reprieve.  ( Is it not a bit sad, that many people and things must become completely broken, for us to whole-heartedly realize that Christ,Jesus IS OUR ONLY HOPE! ),

and that He has been there longing for us to reach out for His Healing Love.

So, in closing, I would like to reflect back to my sermon titled " Every Day is National Prayer Day"

Just alike Nat'l Prayer Day, in our endless effort to be pleasing in the eyes of the Father, and in respect, reverence, and DEEP THANKSGIVING, for the Calvary Love Sacrifice of Our Savior

Yeshua, Jesus, let's make every day a Thanksgiving Day to our Creator and Sustainer  ! 

Starting Each Day as a Christ-Centered Day, will assure our due Thanksgiving to our Almighty!

Believing that music can be more than entertainment, Tim Janis created Music with a Mission and Music of Hope, with the purpose of encouraging understanding and cognizance between different people and cultures. He has brought the all-female HIV-positive South African choir Sinikithemba to the U.S. to raise awareness about the AIDS epidemic there, performed a series of concerts in China to bridge communication between the two countries, and as of 2006 was still leading the Music in Our Schools volunteer program, which is meant to inspire elementary school students to create and study music.

Voting for Christianity !

Blessings of God's Peace to YOU, ...my Family in Christ !



Family, we are THREE days from our countries biggest Election opportunity to demonstrate the Unity of Christianity, and to re-establish the Unity of what our God fearing forefathers declared to be these

United States of America !,...... 'One Nation, Under God, Indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for All'.

Even Christians !

When you step into your voting booth, open your heart to the guidance of your discerning and indwelling Holy Spirit of God. Allow your good and Holy, Spirit driven heart and mind to direct your vote toward candidates most likely to aspire to Biblical Morality. May God Bless You greatly with His love and Wisdom over these next three days, as we all Pray in the name of Our Three !

In The Holy Names of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit

Please discern the following video from our partner Franklin Graham, seen this AM on Fox news

God Bless You !, ..... and, God Bless America

Voting for ' Biblical Morality ' !

Blessings To All !

Although many of us have rightly lost our trust in the truthfulness of Main Stream Media sources, it doesn't mean that we cannot be informed. ( Perhaps through spiritual discern-ship, we can find some Truth and Accuracy through Social Media )
Like the following post, you can indeed find some Truth and Accuracy, but beware friends !
Discern, Discern, Discern !!!, ... because we know well that the evil one has laden the internet with landmines of extremely damaging ' Chaos Causing ' obstacles to impede our walks with Christ.

But, please enjoy the following note from our partners at Billy Graham Evangelistic. Sure to be quickly addressed by the President Elect, will be the Supreme Court Justice position. Upon this paramount choice is simply either more Christian Persecution and Declining Morality, or an opportunity
to Revive ! a country ' United ' in Godly Morality and build a government with More and More Men and Women in reverence of  The Holy Bible and it's Truthful role in our earthly lives.
May God Bless You with discerning wisdom at the voting booth next week. May the results   afford us the opportunity to Serve Him a bit longer and justly,.... ' until His remnant  has grown sufficiently, ...enough to merit the coming Return of our Messiah !'  ............... How wondrous it can be. 

Doesn't  it make sense at this point, ..... That we Must 'REVIVE to SURVIVE' ?

God Guide You !

	Dear Pastor, Tuesday is Election Day, and I am appealing to Christians across America to pray and to vote. I’ve just finished going to all 50 state capitols to hold prayer rallies for our nation, and we have put together a 30-minute video called “A Time for Decision” that highlights the crucial need for God’s people to pray, to engage our communities with God’s truth, and to vote. It isn’t a political video, but it is about praying for our nation. A pastor contacted me this week and had shown “A Time for Decision” to his congregation, and there was a great response. He said he wished he had shown it earlier! So I am giving you the link where you can download the video right here if you would like to show it in your church this weekend. There’s also a shorter 7-minute version, if that works better for you. I truly believe this is the most critical election of our lifetime, and Christians have a crucial role by praying and by voting. We must let the Christian voice be heard. “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14, NKJV). May God bless you, Franklin Graham P.S. On the eve of Election Day, I will be LIVE on my Facebook page to pray for the election and for the nation, and I’m asking everyone to pray with me. Will you join me Monday, November 7, at 9 p.m. ET?

Our Votes Matter !

Dear Brethren,

I pray my ' Technological Challenges ' enable me to cut and paste the (hopefully' following informative post sent in by Mrs. Nancy Barnaby, Elder of Worship at First Christian Church of Kittery Point Maine. Please join us in Prayer!

WE ALL KNOW IT,.... OUR NATION IS IN TROUBLE, GOD IS OUR HOPE !

SHALOM TO ALL !,.........PLEASE VOTE 1

Join us tonight! Pray and Vote Special with Franklin Graham and Tim Wildmon Tuesday, November 1, 2016 Dear David & Nancy, If we as God's people will humble ourselves and pray, He will hear our prayers and heal our land. Tonight, Franklin Graham, myself and others will pray for the elections and for our nation. God is our one true hope.  I invite you to join us for a time of prayer on American Family Radio tonight, beginning at 5:00 PM central for a Pray and Vote special broadcast. I will be joined by Franklin Graham, Dr. James Dobson and AFR's Sandy Rios. You can listen to Pray and Vote on AFR.net or watch it live at afaaction.net. If our mission resonates with you, please consider supporting our work financially with a tax-deductible donation. The easiest way to do that is through online giving. It is easy to use, and most of all, it is secure. Thank you, Tim Wildmon, President American Family Association

DECISION AMERICA 2016, A Prayer from our brother Franklin !

Click Here to View in Browser

	Dear Friend, I concluded the Decision America Tour in Raleigh, NC, last week. We had over 14,200 people there at the State Capitol confessing their sins and praying for the nation. I am so thankful for the tens of thousands who came out across the country to pray as we went state to state. We are just a few weeks away from the most important election in our lifetime: two flawed candidates with two completely different visions for America. I try to remind everyone that the most important issue of this election is the Supreme Court. It comes down to this: Which of the two candidates do you trust to nominate justices to serve lifetime terms on the Supreme Court? I remind people that this election is not about Trump’s tax returns or vulgar language, or Hillary’s lies or deception. This election is about the Supreme Court. Whoever is appointed to the court will set the direction for our nation for generations to come. This will impact what kind of country we leave our children and our grandchildren. I am encouraging everyone to pray and to get your friends, your family, and your church to pray for this election and the future of America. Thank you for participating in the Decision America Tour and for signing the pledge. I’m heading to Liberia this week, but I will be praying as I go to Africa, that God will heal our country. Also, I would like to pray with you on the night before this most critical election. On November 7 at 9 p.m. (ET), will you join me on my Facebook page LIVE, so that we can stand together in prayer? Even if you aren’t on Facebook, you can still join as long as you click on this link. We need Christians across the country praying, so mark your calendar, set your reminder, and let others know to join us. Sincerely, Franklin Graham “‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the LORD of hosts.” –Zechariah 4:6, NKJV

Decision America Tour and Your Vote !

Greetings Brethren !

Just when I thought I had written my last DECISION 2016 post for our Billy Graham friends,
our Ministries brother Franklin has sent the following Tour Announcement and Reminder to
VOTE !!!

In fact !, how often do we consider how VERY BLESSED was are to live in a Nation where we can   VOTE

To my friends who would say, for instance, ... ' my vote won't matter ',...... I say,....'Poppycock'! my Friend. ( Can I say that word ? )   Merely by being known as a 'Christian' in Your Town who cares for ' Biblical Values ', and being SEEN going to that Voting Booth ~!   YOU are part of His light   Friends, this is simply  (part of), being that ' Beacon of Light ' we are to be to others. So Please, offer Our Father deep thanksgiving for the Blessing of living where we CAN vote. This is a blessing that millions of God's children around the world wish they had. 

Please enjoy this Franklin Graham message!

May God Bless You

Use These Questions to Make a Plan Now to Vote. Click Here to View in Browser

	Dear Friend, We’re in the home stretch of the Decision America Tour, with only two prayer rallies to go. We’ll be in Richmond, Virginia, tomorrow, and then we'll wrap up the tour this Thursday in Raleigh, North Carolina. In less than a month, we’ll have the responsibility—and God-given duty—to vote to elect the next president of the United States. Whoever wins will immediately appoint one Supreme Court justice and could appoint several more during his or her term. The direction of our nation hangs in the balance. In addition to praying, it is critical that we make sure the Christian voice is heard loud and clear this Election Day. The following questions will help you plan now so that you’re prepared to vote on November 8: • Are you registered to vote? (Find your local requirements at vote.org.) • Where is your polling station? (Locate it at vote.org.) • What time of day will you vote? • Do you need to let your employer know when you’re voting? • Do you have a way to get there? • Do you have child care? • Is there a friend or neighbor who needs a ride? • What identification do you need? (Find out at vote.org.) As you make your plan to vote, continue to research the candidates, platforms, and issues and then prayerfully ask God for wisdom. The candidates may not be perfect, but not voting is not an option. Thank you for taking a stand for God’s truth and for the future of America. May God richly bless you, Franklin Graham “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” –2 Chronicles 7:14, NKJV

Football, Faith, and Fellowship !

Shalom Beloved !

Although this post is a bit tardy, ( due to wrapping up our Caravan for Christ and DECISION 2016 ),

Our 8th year of our Inter-Church, Fantasy Football Fellowship, ( Very appropriately named

Football, Faith, and Fellowship )  has officially begun ! ......... NO gambling, NO fee, NO worldly 'baggage', Just an agenda of Christian Fellowship among Inter-Church Football Fanatics!

Through the entirety of this Fellowship Initiative, many lasting Christ Centered Friendships and memories have been forged ( As You Can See Below, a pix. of our youngest Team Owner, Andrew, from First Christian Church of Kittery Point ).

Andrew by the way, has thus far demonstrated his 'Football Prowess' through week 4, and is in sole

possession of Second Place!, striking fear into the hearts of the leagues tenured team owners.

Here, Team Andrew is in diligent player evaluation

in the 'War Room' of this year's draft.

We are excited this year, to include interested Youth ministry students as you see above. We find this
to be endearing to the next generation. We very fervently Pray that by including our Children, we may impress on them the paramount importance of Christian Fellowship in a world that appears to willfully be falling away from The Word of God !
We Pray that that our Inter-Generational fellowship with our Children, will result in the Mind-Set

that

" It's Cool ! , to be a Christian "

We hope to be able to share some ' Tail-Gate Testimonies ', as our brother in Christ

(Art Ashley) from Advent Christian Church, is helping to arrange a group UNH Football game and Tailgate Party

Good luck to all team owners this year!, and if your Church would care to learn more about how this Fellowship vehicle has impacted Church Fellowship, please email or call !

God Bless You this day, and ever more!

Discovering The Jewish Jesus !

The Feast of Trumpets

As many of you are aware, I am in midst of taking continuing education classes through the Institute of Jewish-Christian Studies. As a matter of fact, one of my 'Home Church's' Elders ( Brother Randy Lawson ) has chosen to join me in my deep topical studies. How Awesome!,....... CHURCH DISCIPLESHIP and FELLOWSHIP, ( all resulting in the Edification of Yeshua, Christ Jesus! ).

What we are finding, is that we are being blessed with additional insight toward both Scripture

and Prophecy, to say nothing of the deepening of our personal relationships with our Savior,Jesus.

Hebrew Class with Rabbi Jack

(Rabbi Jack is affiliated with Jewish Voice Today magazine and the Messianic teachings of Rabbi Jonathan Bernis,.... see them here.... Jewish Voice Ministries 

So!, Now that the Fall Festivals are upon us, we would like to convey an excellent and (short)

Hebraic Fact of The Day which speaks to the Jewishness of Jesus. Today's word is " mo-ed ",

pronounced.....(moe-ED). It's Hebraic meaning ( and ancient hebraic words may have different meanings, which leaves a much more difficult job for the translator)

Found in Leviticus 23:1-2, ....... " THEN ADONAI SPOKE TO MOSES SAYING: 'SPEAK TO BNEI-YISRAEL, AND TELL THEM: ..... 'THESE ARE THE APPOINTED TIMES, APPOINTED MOEDIM OF ADONAI, WHICH YOU ARE TO PROCLAIM TO BE HOLY CONVOCATIONS-----MY MOEDIM."

MOEDIM

Often, and alike English, Hebrew words can have either deeper or multiple meanings,

and such is the case here. When we speak of Moedim, we're referring to these feasts

more formally as " God's Appointed Times "

( A deeper study would show the Feasts significance in several ways such as PROPHECY,

and how Jesus Himself was and is the fulfillment!  AMEN )

As Rabbi Jonathan Bernis noted in his article, Acts 15 makes it clear that under the new covenant,

Believers from the nations are not obligated to keep the Moedim God established for the Jewish people. Nor do they in any way affect our salvation. BUT !, that does not mean we are not wise to take note of them and experience the blessings that can flow into our lives when we more fully understand how they find their fulfillment in YESHUA !

Happy Rosh Hashana

or

Feast of Trumpets

( WITH FERVENT BLESSINGS TO OUR MESSIANIC/JEWISH BELIEVING

BROTHERS AND SISTERS AT KEHILA HOUSE IN S. PORTLAND!  WE THANK YOU

FOR YOUR EDIFICATION IN CHRIST )

( Be sure to check back for a post which will illustrate the Fall Feasts in greater detail )

and

(  In the Winter months, we plan a 'JEWISHNESS of JESUS'  Bible Study with the date and Church location, or a ' Church Rotation Schedule ' )

LEARN WHY JESUS OBSERVED THE FEASTS ALONG WITH HIS DISCIPLES

CARAVAN for CHRIST ! ....Wrap-Up and Pix

Shalom My Dear Family in Christ !

I don't think I can adequately Thank the many, many, convicted  CARAVAN for CHRIST and the  DECISION  2016 participants at the Augusta Prayer Rally ! 
As you know, we have partnered with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, and their Maine State Representative, Pastor Ron Witham as the Southern Maine BGEA, MY HOPE initiative contact. 
As our dear Brother in Christ Franklin puts it,.... " We have a responsibility as the Church to be the Salt and light in this world. We are to speak the truth of God's word to a society whose spiritual and moral foundation is crumbling at an alarming rate. The only hope for our nation is for us to Pray, Seek His Face, and Stand Firm on the Word. "
As Franklin begins his last leg of the 50 State Tour, we would kindly ask that you continue to Pray
for this cause. That we, ( as God's Greater Church ) will Unite, Re-Unite, and INVITE lost sheep of the fold to a very deep relationship with Yeshua, Christ Jesus.
This is by no means a ' Soapbox, Social Justice Ministry ' by any stretch of the imagination. We simply Pray you may partake in both local and national elections, and discern choosing a candidate with strong Christian Morality and Biblical Respect.

CARAVAN  for CHRIST !

TOGETHER,WE BURNED BRIGHTER FOR CHRIST!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At our sponsoring Church, FIRST  CHRISTIAN  CHURCH of KITTERY POINT, we gathered

for Holy Spirit driven Prayer and an outstanding performance by the Seacoast's Favorite Tenor,

Nathan Cox. ( One wonders these days,how long we will be able to keep GOD at the center of our Anthem, or mentioned at all for that fact! ) But!,..What a compelling performance!

THANX  NATE !

AND,........ after a quick coffee and donuts, we joined hands once again,prayed, and were off!

Off to rendez-vous with partner Churches and individuals at 95N rest areas, whom were inspired to make a VISUAL STATEMENT for CHRIST !

God Bless America and Caravan Prayer

The Hebraic Shofar ( an instrument,ram's horn)  was Blown to call God's Caravan Children at Each Stop

TEAM  YESHUA!

Another Nice Surprise at the last Stop in W. Gardner
Many Blessings are sent to the Bus Driver Who Cordially transported our participants from off site parking to the State House

A few of the 3,400 Prayer Rally Participants

The Holy Spirit Alive and VERY Well !

God Bless The Children 

Wrapping up our Initiative at FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH of  KITTERY POINT

All in all, our CARAVAN for CHRIST was well accepted by many Southern Maine Churches.

Although 'tainted' by the WCSH NewsCast interview a bit (to be posted over the weekend) The Prayer Rally was indeed a HUGE SUCCESS!  Many Mainer's had NO choice but to see our

Visual Statement that Christianity is alive and ready to REVIVE !

And, we send plentiful blessings of The Joy of Jesus to the many individuals and Churches whom

either participated in the Caravan, and to those whom were in Prayer for the cause. If you are searching for a Strong Loving Bible-Based Church, feel free to visit any of the following Caravan/DECISION 2016 partner Churches. You won't go wrong with any of these fine Scripture Loving Churches.

Aside from the story of Soddom and Gomorrah, can you recall a time more appropriate than right now to Pray for His Intercession and Saving Grace?

GOD BE WITH YOU ALL !

A Message From Franklin Graham

	Dear Friend, Earlier this week and last week, thousands of people joined me live on Facebook to pray for America before the opening of the Republican and Democratic conventions. I thank God for this growing movement of prayer for our nation. You can follow me on Facebook and set your notifications to receive word about future Facebook Live broadcasts. We’re heading into our busiest month for Decision America Tour prayer rallies. During August, we will be praying in eight state capitals—Helena, Mont.; Boise, Idaho; Cheyenne, Wyo.; Augusta, Maine; Montpelier, Vt.; Albany, N.Y.; Boston, Mass.; and Providence, R.I. If you live in one of these states, I hope you will bring your friends, family members, and people from your church to join me and other Christians in prayer. If another state’s rally is closer or more convenient for you, feel free to join us there.  Unless something changes in America, our country is doomed. The presidential campaign over the last year has been bitter and divisive—for both parties—and over the last few weeks, violence has torn through the heart of many communities. Our nation needs the Lord Jesus Christ; we need revival. Do you believe in prayer? Do you believe that God answers prayer? I sure do, and I won’t stop calling Christians across America to lift up their voices, to humbly repent on behalf of our nation, and to ask God to heal our land. “The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much” (James 5:16, NKJV). Thank you for standing with us. May God bless you—and may God bless America again. Sincerely, Franklin Graham P.S. I hope you will share these remaining prayer rallies with your friends and loved ones: Feel Free to Call Step With Christ at 207-363-1775, First Christian Church of Kittery Point at 207-429-4021, or email Pastor Ron Witham with BGEA at rwitham@BGEA.org Our most merciful God appears to already be answering our Spirit driven Prayers. Please remain Praying steadfast with fervor and zeal, that He continues to heal our land and answer our heartfelt Prayers for His paramount Intercession ! " CHRIST  EVER-LIVES TO INTERCEDE ON OUR BEHALF " Extrapolated from Heb; 7 of NKJ , and alike most Christian Bibles. I'm ever convinced He honors His promises. I believe the same conviction lies in your hearts also ! Feel Free to visit Franklin's Tour Site, click here,.. DECISION AMERICA BLESSINGS  IN  HIS  HOLY  NAME ! b PS- Check back often between now, and the Rally/Caravan, to find Caravan Rendez-Vous spots NORTH on 95. Please join!, and make Mainer's Eyes actually SEE the Love of Christ and Our Holy Spirit's work in progress ! PROGRESS  FOR the KINGDOM PROCESS ! amen!

Nation Uniting ! , in 'PRAYER FOR REVIVAL' !!

Shalom My Friends,

I pray this post finds you in The Joy of Christ, Jesus ! , and enjoying a beautiful God-given Summer of  Christian Fellowship.
Friends, ... I've heard many a brother in Christ speak of ' coincidences ' within their Christian Journey's, as being contributory to their growing Faith. A few months back, a wonderful sister of Christ whom I was blessed to have attended a longstanding local Bible Study with, ( Hello Marilyn !,
......'she moved recently', ....Blessings! ) , but Marilyn had responded very kindly to a post that spoke of such. Well,.... Marilyn appropriately termed the above mentioned " coincidences ", as
" God Incidences ". Well said, Marilyn !
So, where am I going with this ?   I'm headed toward witnessing how our Father,..Adonai, has been
working in my life, and in my Church as of late. I believe strongly that sharing our testimonies and witnessing's are crucial to the Christ-Like edification of one another!

Please stay with me!  I think you will find it worth the read.

As I have mentioned on many occasions, Reverend, Dr. Wilbert D. Gough ( my 98 years young Mentor ), and the planter of an endless number of seeds to God's Kingdom Process, blesses us with the role of a Scriptural Adviser here at Step With Christ Ministries.

Well, on June 19th of this year, Pastor finally chose to retire as the Senior Pastor at First Christian Church of Kittery Point, Maine. He's finally decided to cut down, and work Part-Time ! ( Somewhere around 70 years of Pulpit work, and still sowing the seeds of God Almighty ! )  A man so very many people would tell you, is A TRUE VESSEL of YESHUA, JESUS ! . ( Pastor's Last Sermon was on 'Prayer' ! ) .....hang onto that!

So, I'm rambling right?  Well the very next week, I was honored, I was Blessed, to stand behind

my Mentor's Pulpit. We have a God of Grace, do we not?

I happened to know I would be in the pulpit of my mentor the week prior to Pastor G's sermon.

(  My Communion Sunday Sermon was on The Saving Grace of Intercessional 'Prayer' )
( The following week, Sr. Elder, Randy Lawson presented his sermon which was an outstanding sermon covering THE FAITH & 'PRAYER' of our Nation's Forefathers !

The very next Sunday Service, we were honored with the wisdom of nationally known Reverend Dr. Reginald Dunlap , whose sermon topic was,.......... You guessed it friends, .... PRAYER !
( NOTE; Dr. Dunlap will again lead service at FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH at Kittery Point
Sunday July 17th, 2016 ,.. feel free to join us! , 'We will likely ' PRAY ' 
ANYONE  SEE A DISTINCT PATTERN ?

A GOD- INCIDENCE ?

( Perhaps an AFFIRMATION of God ? )

There's More!, ...... As I believe you also know, we are currently working closely with the Billy Graham folks, and specifically Franklin Graham's DECISION AMERICA 2016 Tour 'PRAYER' Rally.

( CHECK BACK IN 48 HRS. FOR THE " CARAVAN FOR CHRIST " / RALLY  info )

( and an updated church participation list )

BUT !,....once again !,.... there it is,...... PRAYER !  As Marilyn would say , ...another 

GOD-INCIDENCE !          

DO  YOU EVER GET the FEELING HE'S TELLING U SOMETHING? 

PRAYER,  PRAYER,  PRAYER !  All we need to do is to turn the television on to DISCERN that

we desperately need to Pray with fervor, that YESHUA, JESUS petition the Father to intercede in this Gray world, as no One person, or Political Party can save us from the damage we have brought on ourselves. " Do you think that perhaps we have been born for such a time as this ? "

And finally, as I make this post, there is a HUGE, Christian Unification endeavor called 
RESET 2016 !  happening in DC !, ... and Shame on the mainstream media, and gov't leaders for not covering this  Large Display of Christian ( Unification )that is HAPPENING NOW !,  taking place with outstanding attendance at our Washington Monument, National Mall . Christian Leaders from all generations, ranging from TIM TEBOW, DR. RAVI  ZACHARIAS, FRANCIS CHAN, and many more, along with many Nationally recognized Christian Worship bands. Truly, Needed Fellowship in a Graying World. But no coverage ! , ...... WE NEED ! , to NOW! more than ever, stand up and be seen ! as CHRISTIANS.
Please visit the RESET 2016 initiative here.... RESET 2016, as you will not likely find it on this evening's news.
Please, Pray for the Intercession, Pray for REVIVAL in CHRIST, it's happening NOW ! , He Hears Us and is answering Prayers Now ! Be a Visual Christian, be the BEACON of LIGHT that is life in Yeshua Christ JESUS !

    PLEASE CONTEMPLATE THIS VIDEO, and PRAY !  blessings,b

DECISION AMERICA 2016,..Maine !

Greetings Brethren, 

What a day to Glorify God, and to Pray for the Intercession of Christ Jesus !
Please excuse my ' Technological Bankruptcy ', if my DECISION 2016  cut n' paste job does not arrive with all provided graphics.
This past week, was a week filled with blessings for our Billy Graham partnership initiative, and specifically our effort to enlist Southern Maine Christians to help us 
' Burn Brighter for Christ ! ' and magnify the need for 'Intercessional Prayer'

Last week began with a call from, and a follow-up coffee meeting with, representatives from the
NEW LIFE CHURCH .( Contact Joan W. at NEW LIFE CHURCH for Biddeford details ). New Life Church is a dynamic and Family and God Centered church located in Biddeford,Maine. Their story is impressive, to the Glory of God, and their God Centered impact to their family and community is likely correlated to their growing number of Christian Families.
They certainly seem to be leading the way to Christ in the greater Biddeford area. Our 'hats off'
to Pastor Jeff and his entire Congregation for their steadfast commitment to Christ ! 
Feel free to visit their site link just above for further details. Should you be from the Biddeford area,
feel free to call for more details of how you can join the PRAYER INITIATIVE, and possible to join our Pilgrimage Care-A-Van from First Christian Church of Kittery Point, to Franklin Graham's 
Prayer Rally on the steps of our Capitol building in Augusta. Aside from our request for Intercessional Prayer, We Pray to enlist any help available to join our Caravan for Christ !,.... This NEEDED
effort for a very VISUAL statement of our Faith is an attempt to ' BURN BRIGHTER for CHRIST!, That the light of the fire in our hearts will attract both our need, and any remaining Lost Sheep of God's world. 
Should you, Your Church, Your Prayer Group, or Bible Study Group like further details, please feel free to call us or any of the previously mentioned Churches.

Lets make a difference for Christ ! Let us visually and publicly make a Statement of Faith!

Please Join Us !
