Reconciliation   Empowered by the Holy Spirit Over the summer, I was privileged to attend and be involved in ministry in several state, regional, national, and international conventions and conferences. I have had the opportunity to be a part of these meetings over the years as I have served in some capacity at the International Offices. The experience has consistently blessed my life and spiritual journey as a part of the Church of God of Prophecy family as we are informed of and celebrate in God’s work among us. However, this summer provided an exceptional reconsecration for me in ..read more

Going Forward in the Power of the Spirit

Going Forward in the Power of the Spirit Throughout his life, Jesus demonstrated that his entire ministry was accomplished through the power of the Holy Spirit. When he was baptized in the River Jordan by John the Baptist, Luke notes that Jesus was filled with the Spirit and led by the Spirit. A short time later, Luke noted that Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit (Luke 4:14), and he also rejoiced in the Spirit (10:21). The Apostle John records that Jesus emphasized, “I can of Myself do nothing” (cf. John 5:19, 30 NKJV). In other words, Jesus was totally reliant upon the Holy Spirit fo ..read more

Stewarding Eden: The High Calling for Caring for Creation
Church of God of Prophecy
by smckinley
8M ago
Stewarding Eden The high calling of caring for creation If one were to pick one word to encapsulate human’s relationship to and care for the environment and all creation, this word would be stewardship. The concept of stewardship in the Christian tradition is rooted in the story of Creation. God created the heavens and the earth and everything in them and declared them good. He then created humans after his image and likeness and entrusted them with the high calling of caring for his marvelous work. Genesis 1:28 states, “God blessed them; and God said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply, an ..read more

Stewards Over God’s Creation Is caring for the environment important? Revelation 11:18 (KJV) states, “And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.” Reflection “We are stewards of God’s creation” is currently a statement or a subject that has received little attention from most believers. When God created the heavens and the earth, he designed eve ..read more

Extraordinary Power, Ordinary Means
Church of God of Prophecy

Extraordinary Power SUPERNATURAL MEANS Obedience is made possible by the Spirit who dwells in us. The Spirit is aptly called our Helper, and love is his mechanism. The discourse of Paul in 1 Corinthians illustrates this powerfully. My mind has been reeling since the International Assembly last summer. I felt personally motivated and challenged by the messages and themes conveyed by many of the dynamic speakers. Their words still echo in my thoughts and resonate through the Scriptures. Throughout the course of this year, since the Assembly, I have been carefully considering the meaning of ..read more

Holy Spirit Power Has Come

HOLY SPIRIT POWER HAS COME! Holy Spirit’s identity is as “another Helper.” Jesus promised a Helper of the same kind rather than of a different kind. Holy Spirit is the parakletos, the one who comes alongside. Jesus said that Spirit would “abide with you forever . . . He dwells with you and will be in you” (John 14:16, 17 NKJV). His ministry is both permanent and personal. The Holy Spirit came, not just in power, though there was great power at work, but he came in person.  Power has come! Holy Spirit now indwells humanity as we surrender to Christ. Holy Spirit works in and through u ..read more
