Unshakable Faith: The Key to Creating Your Desired Reality

 


Hello Family,

I am thrilled about our new series, Unshakable Faith! We kicked off yesterday with an introduction to faith entitled "Faith Beyond Belief" - Understanding the Biblical Definition of Faith.

Today, I want to encourage you. As a Christian, your faith in Jesus Christ brings you strength and encouragement. He is the source of all power and the ultimate creator of our reality. In the book of John, Jesus says, "Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father" (John 14:12, ESV). As a believer, you have access to the same power that Jesus had, and you can create your reality through Him.

Yesterday, we touched on this. The Bible also teaches us in Romans 4:17, "As it is written, 'I have made you the father of many nations' – in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist" (ESV). This shows that God has the power to bring things into existence that did not previously exist. By having faith in Him, you have the power to shape your own reality..

So, keep your faith in Jesus strong and believe that He is working for your good. Pray, meditate on His Word, and take action towards your dreams. Philippians 4:13 says, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" (ESV). With Him, you can accomplish anything and create the reality you desire.

From the Pastor's Desk,

Bishop Martin Wilson

Why Deliverance is Rarely Seen in Today’s Churches by Bishop Martin Wilson

Image
Deliverance ministry, once a staple in many churches, has become a rare sight in today’s congregations. While it might seem absent in many services, the reality is that deliverance often happens quietly or behind the scenes. However, with the release of the new Netflix movie The Deliverance, the topic of spiritual warfare and demonic oppression has gained renewed attention. The film, which portrays a powerful story of deliverance from demonic forces, reminds us that the supernatural battle is very real—and that the church must not shy away from addressing it. But why don’t we see deliverance as openly in churches anymore? To fully restore deliverance ministry, churches must embrace four critical values—a “4x4” approach that creates an environment for the power of God to work. 1. The Importance of Passionate Prayer A church that lacks fervent prayer lacks the spiritual power to confront demonic forces. Prayer prepares the atmosphere for God’s presence to manifest, and in that presence,

"The Dangers of the Illusion of Perfection In the Black Pulpit" By Bishop Martin Wilson

Image
The Dangers of Perfectionism in the Pulpit As pastors, our calling is to shepherd our congregations with wisdom, compassion, and humility. However, the pressure to appear perfect can sometimes overshadow our true purpose. Perfectionism in the pulpit is a growing concern, and it’s essential to address the profound disconnect it creates between pastors and their congregations. The Illusion of Perfection When pastors act as if they have it all together, they create an illusion of perfection that can be deeply damaging. This façade sets an unattainable standard for the congregation. When church members see their pastor as flawless, they may feel discouraged about their own struggles and imperfections. This disconnect fosters a sense of isolation among congregants who may feel they cannot relate to or confide in their seemingly perfect leader. The Strain of Inauthenticity Maintaining an image of perfection is not only exhausting but also creates a significant disconnect. Pastors burdened wi

“The Meaning of Labor Day: A Christian Perspective” - Bishop Martin Wilson

Image
Labor Day can resonate with Christian values through the lens of work's significance and the dignity of labor. Reflection on Work Labor Day serves as an opportunity for Christians to reflect on their work as a calling from God. Billy Graham emphasized that this holiday should prompt believers to view their labor from God's perspective, recognizing that work is a means of serving Him and contributing to the community[1]. The Bible reinforces this idea, as seen in Colossians 3:23-24, which encourages individuals to work heartily, knowing they serve the Lord[1]. Advocacy for Justice Additionally, Labor Day highlights the importance of advocating for workers' rights, aligning with biblical teachings on justice and care for the marginalized. Proverbs 29:7 notes that the righteous care about justice for the poor, encouraging Christians to support labor movements that seek fair wages and safe working conditions[2][3]. Celebration of Rest Finally, the holiday also emphasizes the ne
