Port Orchard Church Of The Nazarene

Pastor Jerry Myhr shared from his heart, God's plan for us in the area of tithes and offerings. He pointed out that we need to be motivated by love, not selfishness. He reminded us of the fact that we must love God and hate our enemy, and that our obedience to God in the physical realm, in this area, makes all the difference in the unseen realm.

Pastor Jerry continued with the message he started last week, and reminded us that Jesus grew in favor with God and man. You and I are to carry the glory that He carried. We need to be so filled with the Holy Spirit that we are spilling over on others. We are all Gatekeepers. We need to be eating what Jesus is eating, thinking what Jesus is thinking, and believing what Jesus is believing.

Conrad Lampan, Argentinean revivalist, and Pastor, shared about how God moves supernaturally, not naturally. Don't downsize God. "Without the Supernatural, a church is just a boring club, that I don't want to join!" We are sustained by the supernatural power of God. Usher Jesus in and let Him be God.

Pastor Jerry shared some scriptures and insight regarding the way we live out our lives. In our daily lives, we need to watch what we eat, we affect those around us. He pointed out that Peter told the beggar "What I have I give you..." Is what we are giving, something cherished and creative? Jesus should be our example, He gave us so much. It is so important that what we are feeding ourselves on be of God, not man. We need to be receiving from God and giving it away.

Hamilton Filmalter, a healing evangelist and revivalist, shared with us before the offering, a word that we are all of a Royal Priesthood that are working to build a Spiritual house. He continued to encourage us in the message that God is bringing a revolution, to set His people free, and that every ordinary believer can be a king and priest unto our God.

Hamilton Filmalter, a healing evangelist and revivalist, stated that in the coming outpouring revival we are going to see, healing is going to be a major part of it. God is restoring the ministry of Jesus through the body of Christ, to the world. He emphasized that healing the sick needs to become a common occurrence in the body of Christ.

Hamilton Filmalter, a healing evangelist and revivalist, continued to share the importance of being fruit producers. The time for harvest is now. Gathering in the harvest is the heart of Jesus. We've got to give Jesus His fruit, souls saved for the Kingdom.

Hamilton Filmalter, a healing evangelist and revivalist, reminds us that it all goes back to the cross. The way that the Kingdom is advanced, is that souls come into the Kingdom. When people get baptized, the Kingdom comes. The primary way the Kingdom comes, is souls getting saved. He also points out that disciples of Jesus must make disciples.

Steve and Wendy Backlund are authors, revivalists, teachers, and church strategists. They have a unique anointing and a revelatory teaching gift that creates new wineskins for greater dimensions of God (both personally and corporately). Wendy shared some exciting experiences and then challenged us to turn our imagination over to God and "worry" about some truly amazing things. Steve talked about different aspects of joy and pointed out that "Jesus was more glad than anyone else on planet earth, when He was on planet earth". He explained some of the reasons that joy is not valued, then shared a bunch of scriptures that point out that joy is an amazing gift from God. We need to get over ourselves and LAUGH! We all need what Tigger's got! It's an amazing thing, the power of joy.

Steve and Wendy Backlund are authors, revivalists, teachers, and church strategists. They have a unique anointing and a revelatory teaching gift that creates new wineskins for greater dimensions of God (both personally and corporately). Steve shared about four areas of beliefs that we need to turn over to God, and exhorted us to "...take every thought captive..." He mentions "Declarations" that can be uploaded here, or at their website www.ignitedhope.com

Pastor Jerry Shared about what our love for each other should look like, using the example of Jesus washing the disciples feet. Loving one another is not optional.

Pastor Jerry referred to the man at the Pool of Bethesda, when Jesus asked him "Do you want to get well?", and asked the question- Do we really want what God has for us? Do we want to be like Jesus? We are only as close to the Lord as we want to be. We have been forgiven, we need to forgive and enjoy the freedom we have been given

Jason Smith from Empowered International, lives in Chico, CA and takes an active role in the community where he recognizes that relationships are the foundation through which the Kingdom of Heaven is established in all walks of life.

Pastor Jerry shared how God is taking us to new levels of unity. He pointed out that we want to increase our dependency on God and increase our interdependency on one another. We need to honor and respect each other.

Continuing with the thought of Discipleing Nations, Pastor Jerry shared some of the exciting stories of Daniel to show how a man in tune with God can be used in many ways. He even challenged us with the fact that God has answers to many of the problems in the world- who is asking for wisdom? The Lord will entrust us with as much of His presence that we will jealously guard. We need to honor all people, so that we can influence them, and show them God's freedom, love and His kingdom.

Pastor Jerry encourages us to set aside our precepts and make room for the Holy Spirit in an effort to disciple the nations. We need to give up our natural expectations, and replace them with spiritual expectations. We need to have a private relationship with God, which produces life that is apparent to those around us.

Harold Eberle, of Worldcast Ministries, is received as a teacher and prophet in churches around the world. He encouraged all of us to get rid of old ways of thinking and come to an understanding of a better covenant with God. He shared three ways that God thinks of us: I will never remember any of your sins; I will give you My heart; I will put my Spirit in you and cause you to walk in my ways. A better understanding of this new covenant means God works within our hearts. Harold closed with a word of encouragement to the church.

Speaking in the Elisha's Request Ministries service, he opened with some very exciting statistics about the "Born Again Rate" around the world, and encouraged the church that the world is NOT going down hill. For his message, Harold shared from Romans 5, previous experiences in pastoring, and his personal walk, some insights regarding the incredible power of Grace. His desire is for all of us to get past the Christian cliche's and traditions that can keep us from truly understanding, and receiving "the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness...".

This was a communion Sunday, and Pastor Jerry shared with us that we need to steward the memory of what Jesus did for us through His death, burial and resurrection. In light of God's amazing mercy, we need to pledge a clear conscience to the Lord. Pastor Jerry also pointed out that God's kindness draws unbelievers to Him.

God has called us to be part of a VICTORIOUS army! Pastor Jerry pointed out that we must be unified in our desire to serve God, and that we can't allow division to distract us from the purpose that God has called us to. We must unite and go to battle! Don't do anything that you could do without God anymore, it's a waste of your life. We need a personal revolution.
