Sunday was such an amazing presence of the Lord.  Many have said that it is the strongest anointing at His Tabernacle to date.  We ministered on how the Holy Spirit just wanted to REFRESH us.  That living in the stale manna of yesterday, and or for some, many years ago, was not good enough.  Nothing is worse than stale stuff.  We gave examples of stale bread and stale donuts, the people who were the blindfolded taste testers were hilarious, but the point was well settled in the hearts of God’s people.  The altar after the preaching of the Word was packed with people who just wanted a FRESH ANOINTING. 

I want to say a special thank you to the children’s ministers for your patience on Sunday.  The altar time lasted well past noon and you might not ever understand what your ministry not only did for the children on Sunday, but also for the parents.  You are a HUGE blessing to the body.

We are almost at the 10 year anniversary of His Tabernacle.  It is so hard to believe that time has gone by that quickly.  Some facts of the goodness of God from the last 10 years:

1.      This is our 5^th location for His Tabernacle

a.       Holiday Inn in Horseheads

b.      The Ol Brown’s Pharmacy in Hanover Square

c.       Old Ithaca Rd

d.      Broad Street School

e.       Our HOME, 16 Level Acres Dr.

2.      Attendance

a.       We began in 1998 with 5 people

b.      Our 5^th year anniversary, we had 200

c.       Our 10^th year, we have more than doubled!

These are just a few of the blessings from the Lord.  This is just the beginning as God is giving us the REGION.  We want to encourage you to get involved in the ministry of His Tabernacle.  Your opportunities are vast.  The OUTREACH ministry is cranking (last year over 37 outreaches), WORSHIP & ARTS ministry is looking for musicians, singers and men and woman for drama, HIS KIDZ ministry is investing life into the next generation, training them to know their God and not just church, the list is long………..

One more reality, we are praying that everyone will step into the economy of the Kingdom.  We believe that many of you who are not tithing and seeding will get the revelation and invest in the Kingdom of God.  We know that we, His Tab, is blessed with the few that tithe and seed, can you imagine if even half the body actually allowed God to bless them in the principles?  I challenge you to OBEY the Word of God, you will not be disappointed.

Jesus is AWESOME!  Get ready for this Sunday; the anointing has been increasing each week, so come expecting.

The number 8 is the number for NEW BEGINNINGS.  This is without question that for His Tabernacle as we have entered our new building and getting ready to celebrate the 10 year anniversary.

It has been an exciting ride with Jesus as we have walked in obedience and through Him have watched God bring increase to the body.  So many lives have been changed, not because of a man, but because of a great God who loves His kids and desires to change lives.  There is no greater privilege than to be part of the God-plan.  Thank you for the opportunity you have allowed us, your Pastor's to enjoy.

2007 closed with our first annual New Year's Eve service!  Praise and worship were dynamic and many gave testimonies of how Jesus changed their lives.  One family shared of a healed heart (physical), another of the healing process of their marriage, another of being delivered from an addiction, still another of financial and a total life change.  There sure was a ton of shouting to give Jesus the glory.  The Word that was preached was about just that, "New Beginnings", and how we cannot give up!  That the devil might have romped you in 07, but that in 08, God will:

Deu 28:12 Jehovah shall open to you His good treasure, the heaven to give the rain to your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. And you shall loan to many nations, and you shall not borrow.

There are different seasons in our lives and some have been in winter for a time, but this is the season of NEWNESS.  Declare the Word over your life, prophecy those things which are not as though they already are.  It is time to stop being like the man at the pool in John 5, who sat there waiting for 38 years for someone to help him in the pool.  Jesus asked him, "Do you want to be made well?” what do you want for 08, Jesus will give you what you ask.  Stop laying beside the pool just waiting for someone, Jesus is here right NOW and it is a new season, new beginning. 

Paul said it best,

Php 3:13 Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,

Php 3:14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

DON'T GIVE UP!  PRESS IN.

CONSISTENCY IS EVERYTHING.

We are still ministering of the Gifts of the Spirit and how they work in and through your life, do not miss another Sunday.

Our family usually goes on vacation during Daytona Bike Week, but this year we cannot.  The reason is because Cody is in Math 3.  If Cody misses a week of Math 3 he will fail the course because there will be no way to catch up.  I want to encourage you to be faithful to the Kingdom of God.  Each week we preach and teach not another sermonette, but we give equipment that will make you successful in this world and the world to come.  Be faithful!!!!
