 Welcome from Brown Chapel/Avant, Mt. Pleasant & Shiloh

Prayer: Pastor Baggett

Scripture: 2 Chronicles 20:15-17 - And he said, Give ear, O Judah, and you people of Jerusalem, and you King Jehoshaphat: the Lord says to you, Have no fear and do not be troubled on account of this great army; for the fight is not yours but God's.  Go down against them tomorrow: see, they are coming up by the slope of Ziz/ at the end of the valley, before the waste land of Jeruel, you will come face to face with them.  There will be no need for you to take up arms in this fight; put yourselves in position, and keep where you are, and you will see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: have no fear and do not be troubled: go out against them tomorrow, for the Lord is with you.

Subject: God Will Take Care of You

  • The king Jehoshaphat was surrounded by the enemy.
  • The best weapon that Christians can use is prayer.
  • Just a little talk with Jesus will ease our sufferings.
  • Be not dismayed whatever is going on, God will take care of you.
  • There are certain things that we must do for God to reveal what He can do.
  • Position ourselves to be blessed by God.
  • God tells us to continue on as if our enemies don't even exist.
  • Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1
  • Faith without works is dead. James 2:17
  • Stand still.
  • Psalm 110:1 - The Lord said to my lord, Be seated at my right hand, till I put all those who are against you, your footstool.
  • For they that wait upon the Lord
  • We will see His salvation. In other words, watch what God can do. Remember Job's trial or Daniel in the lion's den. Just two examples of what God can do.

 Welcome from Brown Chapel/Avant and Mt. Pleasant

Prayer: Rev. Pelton

Scripture: 2 Chronicles 23: 19 - He posted guards at the gates of the Lord's temple, so no one who was ceremonially unclean in any way could enter.

Subject: Gates & Gate Keepers

  • What is a gate keeper? It could be described at a fence or a boundary. 
  • In order to enter you would need a gate or an opening to enter or exit.
  • A gate could be a point of control, a command center.
  • The gates are mentioned many times in the bible.
  • Psalm 100:4 - Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give him thanks! Praise his name!
  • Matthew 16:18 - And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hell will not prevail against it.
  • Several types of gates: personal gates (don't allow anything to come between you and God); family gates (take a stand to lead our family to God); church gate (we must guard against Satan in the church); community gate (communities must pull together to stand against Satan); & national gates (nations must stand firm against the Prince of Darkness).
  • GIGO = garbage in, garbage out. Don't allow yourself to get sucked into all the garbage in the world.
  • We need gate keepers and watchmen. 
  • Gate keepers & watchmen are to rightly discerning what going in or goes out.
  • We must me hearers and doers of the Word.
  • Prayer is all important in our spiritual warfare.
  • Are you willing to be a gate keeper?
  • 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 - Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy.
  • Romans 12:2 - And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

 Welcome from Brown Chapel/Avant, Shiloh & Mt. Pleasant

Prayer: Minister Malone

Scripture: 2 Chronicles 20:5-9 - And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord, before the new court, and said, O lord God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee?  Art not thou our God, who didst drive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend of ever? And they dwelt therein, and have built thee a sanctuary therein for thy name, saying, If, when evil cometh upon us, as the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house, and in thy presence, (For thy name is in this house,) and cry unto thee in our affliction, then thou wilt hear and help.

Subject: What To Do When We Are Persecuted

  • How do we respond?
  • Precepts to help.....Be conformed to likeness of our God.
  • We should resemble our Lord through our bodies, souls and minds through Jesus Christ.
  • We need to apply God's blessings. 
  • God is concerned by the finished product. Have we been tried by the fire? 
  • Isaiah 48:10 - See, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.
  • For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12
  • Romans 8:28 - And we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.
  • God uses all things for his good.
  • Lean not on our own understanding . Proverbs 3:5-6
  • For perfect love drives away all fear.

 Brown Chapel/Avant, Shiloh & Mt. Pleasant 

welcomes you all to 

Sunday worship!

Prayer: Rev. I. Pelton

Scripture: 2 Chronicles 20:1-3 & 15(b) - It came to pass after this also, that the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them other beside the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle.  Then there came some that told Jehoshaphat, saying, There cometh a great multitude against thee from beyond the sea on this side Syria; and, behold, they be in Jazazontamar, which is Engedi.  And Jehoshphat feared, and set himself to seek the Lord, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. (b) Thus said the Lord unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's.

Topic: The Power of Prayer

  • Those who pray to the Lord in earnest will prevail.
  • Being alarmed is a human condition but if we "set ourselves to seek God first" .....
  • If we are resolved, then we are on a course of action toward God.
  • Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.  Philippians 4:6
  • When trials and tribulation come, be resolved towards God.
  • We must come together united in God.
  • If my people which are call by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.  2 Chronicles 7:14
  • We must lean and depend on Jesus.
  • We must remember how God has gotten us thru other situations.
  • We must focus on God's plan.  Not my will but Thy will be done. Luke 22:42(b)
  • We must have confidence in God.
  • Don't rely on ones self but rely on God.
  • A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.  James 1:8

Greetings from Brown Chapel/Avant/Shiloh & Mt. Pleasant

Prayer by Rev. Pelton
Scriptures by Pastor Baggett

2 Timothy 3:1-5 - This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. (2) For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, (3) Without natural affection, truce-breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, (4) Traitors, heady high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; (5) Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
2 Chronicles 7:14 - If my people,which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

  1. We must work on ourselves daily.  Be a better neighbor.
  2. Be not a false witness for it will not go unpunished.
  3. We need to pray for our leaders.
  4. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 - Pray without ceasing.
  5. God is still in control and is not of confusion.
  6. Isaiah 40:31 - They that wait upon the Lord, shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings of eagles. They shall run and not be weary, and they shall walk and not faint.
  7. Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
  8. Pray in a manner that God tells us to.
  9. Always seek God's face, even in anger, seek Him. Stay in touch with God in all things.
  10. Trust in the Lord with all your heart; and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Proverb 3:5-6
