THE FIVEFOLD MINISTRY
The giftings of the fivefold ministry (Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor, Teacher) should have one purpose, and that is the teaching and equipping of the saints until we come into unity.

FISHERS OF MEN
I had my first experience fishing at six years old with a cane pole. I was with my dad and his friend, and I caught several bream (sunfish) called stumpknockers, on the Withlacoochee River near Inverness, Florida. I fell in love with fishing and spent my youth doing just that.
As an adult, my dad and his friend introduced my brother and I to saltwater fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. In both cases, it was always a friend of my dad that insisted that I was brought along. I have caught many fish over my lifetime.
Jesus loved fishermen such as me. In fact, all his earliest chosen disciples were fishermen. As we see in Matthew 4:18-22, it was fishermen whom he called. Andrew brought his brother Peter to Jesus and Jesus said, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” They immediately left their boat and nets to follow Jesus as also two other fishermen, namely James and his brother John.
As professional fishermen, they were well acquainted on how to harvest fish from the lake. Now, they had a different call. They were called out to a new kind of harvest, namely, the harvest of mankind for the kingdom of heaven.
You and I, along with every believer, are also called to that same harvest of souls. In Matthew 28:19-20 Jesus gives us all the “Great Commission” to, “go ye therefore and teach all nations…” and Mark 16:15, “…Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel…” Again, in Luke 24:47, “… should be preached in His name among all nations…” In Acts 1:8 Jesus said, “… ye shall be witnesses unto me… unto the uttermost part of the earth.”
To witness for Jesus and to spread His gospel to others is the commission to every believer. It is not just the job of the fivefold ministry, namely, the Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, or Teachers commission. The job of those called to the five-fold ministry, according to Ephesians 4:12, is to equip and teach every believer to do the work of God’s ministry. That means you, me, and every born-again believer [Christian].
I am doing my part. Are you doing your part? Are we mistakenly relying on Pastors and Evangelists to win the lost? We need to examine ourselves in the light of the Great Commission that Jesus gave to every believer.
We all should be fishermen for Jesus… fishers of men for the kingdom of heaven.

RUNNING THE RACE
__________________
As a young girl I was a “tomboy.” I had two older brothers that participated in sports including pole vault, high jump, baseball (not softball) and relay races. I wanted to do what they did. I was a fast runner. I could jump over the pole vault bar, and I could throw a baseball as far as any boy. I wanted to be accepted as a girl along with the boys in our neighborhood.
Sports were a big thing in the Greek and Roman culture. The Olympics started out of Greece and continues today. There are rewards for those that win. In childhood relays I took home blue ribbons and sometimes red ribbon, which was second place. I wanted to win!
The apostle Paul, like Jesus, used what the listeners were familiar with and used everyday life as examples. In Philippians 3:14 he said, “I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Being part of the Greek culture that involved sports, the common man of his day understood the race for the prize. They understood the winner would go before the Judge’s Bema Seat to receive their reward for winning. He would be given a victor’s crown made of vines and flowers. In this verse Paul is telling those in Philippi that they needed to press in. Anyone that runs knows that they save the most energy for the final moments. They give it their all to press to win the prize.
As we get older, oftentimes we want to slow down but upon reading this scripture, I see it differently. We should make an effort to press in harder in this race of life than ever before. We should be running it with all we have, so when we come to the end of our race, we will receive the crown that is given to the victor. Do not ever think it is too late to run the race my friends. There is always a way for each of us to finish in victory with the help of the Lord.
The wisdom that each of you seasoned saints have that are reading this should be passed on to the younger generation. Press into that and show them how to run the race, then pass the torch to the next generation!

PROPHETIC WORD
AS GIVEN TO HELEN SANDERS
11-18-2023
You will see very soon my child that there will be much more darkness than there has ever been. At the same time, the counterfeit “angel of light” will bring signs, wonders, and miracles that will try to deceive the very elect. Do not believe all that you see for not all miracles, signs, and wonders are from me. There will be a display in the heavenlies soon that will cause many to fear, but hold your peace and do not fear, for have I not said that this would happen? Yes, this is the hour that will usher in these things, but you are not a child of darkness and will know the real from the counterfeit. As you spend time with me in the secret place you will draw much wisdom from me saith the Lord. For only this time of quietness alone with me will bring you the answers and the peace in the days ahead. Remember, I said these things would happen. There is much going to happen but know this my child that I am not caught unaware of these times. I am allowing certain things to come to orchestrate the events that will have to take place before my return. Study my word and see what those things will be and know that it will not catch you by surprise either. For nation will rise against nation, and there will be much chaos in the street as the gross darkness falls on the entire earth. But know that this is your hour to rise and shine. For your light will dispel darkness. Make sure that your armor is on so that you are not deceived, for there will be voices from the pulpit that are as of Baalak of old, wanting a word from me to curse and bring down my people, but I would say that nothing can do this outside of my will. I will see you seated with me in heavenly places, and from that position will lead you and guide you. Yes, there will be voices from the pulpit that are full of deception saying “Peace and safety” but then sudden destruction shall come. Take time to remove anything from your heart that would hinder you from hearing from me. Forgive quickly. Love those that have used you and bless those that have cursed you. Do not seek vengeance, for I alone will bring vengeance. Your place is to love the unlovely and be the light while all around you is darkness. Again, take time to be with me, for as Moses spent time on the mountain and the glory was upon his face, it shall also be upon you as you seek me and spend time with me. Let go of all distractions that would keep you from hearing what I would say to you in this hour. For the events I have mentioned will happen very shortly, so, do not be caught off guard. I love you my child, and I seek only the best for you. It will come as you seek me with your whole heart. Now, fear not, and do not rely upon the arm of man. Rely upon me as your entire source of life. For I am your life saith the Lord.

APOSTLE PAT MURRAY
PROPHETIC EXHORTATION
3-17-2024
Go ahead and make room for God has more in store for your life; And even now He is planning the ENLARGEMENT of your territory..”Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!” (I Chron.4:10) "Every place you set your foot will be your territory". (Deut. 11:24a) So get ready child of God to stake your claim for even in this critical hour; Still God is working all things out in your favor... And He is causing you to walk on into your prayed for breakthrough; And no it will not be a breakdown. Just remember that God did not bring you this far to leave you. So be getting yourself ready to receive all that God has coming to you. Yes, there’s soon coming a big breakout of a really great breakthrough for you; Even though the enemy had a big ole breakdown on his agenda for you. Just know that is not for you; Not now and not ever. Oh, but what the enemy could not see is there’s not a breakdown in your future...For God heard your prayers and He has a breakout of all breakthroughs ready for you.

DEBRA TOPE
INTERCESSOR/SEER
God did not call us to close ourselves off from others. You might have felt like you were in a closed off space where you would be “safe”. That is a lie that the enemy would have us believe. Our safety only comes from a surrendered life to the Lord. The Lord says to go into the world. He has given us the weapons of warfare to use against the enemy of our soul. Closing ourselves off from others will never be the fulfillment of what God has called us to.
While we have technology at our fingertips, reach out: call someone with words of encouragement: text someone and tell them what they mean to you. Visit a neighbor, write a letter or note to a grandchild or young person, you would be surprised how they keep those letters. Or maybe just ask the Lord to show you the person to reach out to today! Get going ladies and gentlemen the world is waiting.
”The end of the world is coming soon. Therefore, be earnest and disciplined in your prayers. Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins. Cheerfully share your home with those who need a meal or a place to stay. God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.“
1 Peter 4:7-10 NLT

What Can One Person Do? HCC
Look within, look above, what can one person do,
To share Christ’s love?
Please the Lord, with love you give,
Share with others the love Christ gives.
Bring a smile, share some bread, look to help,
Where loneliness treads.
Time goes by, at first your young,
Then in a moment white hair has begun.
The days of youth so fast they go,
Be kind and loving, the best gifts to give, to know.
At the end of a well driven life,
Add up the gifts you’ve given, and you’ll say,
I could have done more; my Lord please forgive me.
And you reach out your aged hand,
And start to offer love again.
