Night of Unity!!!

"This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob" -- Psalms 24:6

There is a new season among young people of all walks of life, whether they are black, or white, male or female; whether they speak one language or they be multilingual. God is blessing those who are determined to seek his face.

Last Friday evening was such a night. Young people from New Jersey, The Bronx, Long Island, and Brooklyn came together in a spirit of Unity to join together in worship, exaltation and prayers. I have to say God came and visited us in a mighty way. Our hearts were moved as each person took there part in a concert of praise and worship. No one was concerned about the spotlight or about there place in the service our only concern was focusing our minds on God and getting into the presence of God.

The local church sang, the Fellowship -- yep the same Fellowship from the prayer brunch (I am going to do my part to help them blow-up). They were amazing as usual.

The folks from Linden, NJ AFC sang as well. They sang "I'm Desperate for You" there singing incited a thirst for the presence of God.

Damaris Richardson sang "We Give you all the Glory" from Israel and New Breed -- she is always a blessing.

The anointed and upcoming evangelist Kamaria Crook gave an exaltation. She admonished the young people to get into the place where they can know God and receive all his precious gifts, especially the gift of his Holy Spirit.

Following her exaltation the group from Hempstead, AFC gave a series of instrumentals. I was touched by the flute solo of "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring"

Then Sister Laura introduced me for the first time as an old and at the same time new member of AFC. I was nervous -- it being my first time being back in an official capacity. But because I was in familiar surroundings I quickly got comfortable and began to give a short teaching on relationships. I encourage the young people to:

1. Value Good Relationship -- because we cannot really succeed without healthy and constructive relationship and partnerships.

2. Wait on Valuable Relationships -- Someone that may be good for me in five or ten years may not be good for me now. Learn to prioritize your relationship. Teenage years are the years for study partners and varsity team mates and not intimate long-term relationships. You don't get married at 15 so why get involved on such an intimate level at that age.

3. Interview Your Friends -- It is important that we are just as selective in choosing friends as we are in choosing the latest pair of sneakers, or designer jeans.

4. Don't Yoke Up With Someone Going in a Different Direction -- You would call me crazy if I got in a car going south and then 5 hours later I was upset with the driver because I wasn't in Canada. Choose friendships with people going in the same direction. If you want to be a engineer hang out with people studying math. If you want to be a doctor hang out with people who like medicine. If you want to be a drug dealer....

5. Come Out -- "Wherefore, come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing..." This is the solution when you find yourself in precarious and compromising situations. When you are with some friend and one of them pulls out a joint -- come out. When you find yourself alone with the opposite sex and all your signals and needles are shooting up -- Come Out.

After sharing these points. Sister K came and led us in our Unity Prayer. It was awesome. Evangelist K has an awesome anointing that really is on display when she is ministering in prayer -- I got to blow my sister up. I mean as she began to minster in prayer the hearts of the young people began to melt and God had his way.

All in all it was an awesome night!!!

Please prayer for this generation of young people and especially for this generation of youth minsters and youth pastors. The task before us is enormous but we know that with God all things are possible.

I want to Thank Sister Lora Monsac especially for putting it all together. She is really determined to do the work of the Lord. And don't forget Sister K. But there are others also that God is using in this season and in this region -- the Tri-State area and they all need your prayers:

This is Seeking Generation. We are desperately seeking the presence of God and want to see him move among the leaders and among the young people. The time is now for a latter day revival and the place is anywhere we are gathered in unity.

If you know any young people or youth workers who you want us to prayer for just add to the list.

Grace and Peace

Min Heraclio

Moving on In the Spirit!!

Over the past weekend, the saints at Apostolic Christian Church (soon to be Crotona Park AFC) hosted the 10th Annual Prayer Brunch. It was an awesome experience.

Things started slow at first, but it's not how you start -- it's how you finish. We started with some soul stirring Praise and Worship, performed by my girls Fellowship. The really put us in a mind set to worship the Lord. We forgot about all of our other concerned and totally focused on Jesus!!

ACCs' youth ensemble was a blessing also as they sang "Faithful" and "High In All the Earth." But the corporate worship was only the appetizers in this 3 course meal -- the best was yet to come.

Rev. Peterson Passade, Pastor of Apostolic Faith Church in Bedford Stuyvesant, preached an awesome word: It's Not a Stumbling Block.... It’s a Stepping Stone!!! I have heard the Reverend preach before, but on this day he was under an anointing that I have never seen him under before. I have seen him teach seperately and I have seen him preach seperately, but on this day he put it together in a way that can only be explained as a Ramah word.

He admonished us to really know who Jesus is. He is our Rabbi, and if we can grab hold of the hem of his garment we can be made whole. We learned that getting what we need from the Lord will not be easy but if we persevere and press we will receive what we so desperately need from the Lord. Then he illustrated who we are and the type of organization we belong to: the "general assembly and church of the firstborn". And how to claim the rights and authority of the firstborn. It was powerful!!

He took us through the bible like a master surgeon. Precisely, pointing to specific scriptures that illuminated the theme: What we are currently going through is actually a stepping stone to becoming closer to God, to becoming more powerful, and to receiving the blessing!!

Minister Yvette Blaize was a blessing!! Her ministry of Prayer and Intercession was the final course. It was last but definitely not least Inspired by the Holy Spirit several people facilitated prayer for Unsaved Loved ones, Saints in Financial difficulty, those who are Saved and Single, and those in the Christian Community that are under bondage and need deliverance. Saints brought pictures of loved ones. They brought their wallets and pocket books desperate to receive a blessing from the Lord. It was totally awesome!! We thank God for another successful brunch!!! And we are expected many more blessing in 2008!!
