This Sunday: Special Guest - Prophet Ben Smith

Hi precious family,

Just when we think, can the services get any better? They do. We are truly blessed at His sweet presence and the relevance that we've been enjoying with the preached Word. One of the visitors commented that they received more Word in one service on Sunday morning than in a whole year in their other church. Wow, I was humbled and awed as we all know that it's all because of His anointing.

Well I have some wonderful news! This coming Sunday morning and evening we have Prophet Ben ministering with us at City Bible Church. This Sunday evening, our evening service will begin an hour early at 6:00 pm for this Sunday only so we can give Prophet Ben as much time as possible as he has to leave earlier on Sunday evening so he can get back home for a flight on Monday morning. He wants to not rush, so I feel it's right to change the time to 6:00pm. We will be meeting in our building located at 11760 Marco Beach Dr. Jacksonville, FL 32225. Please call (904)642-2808 with any questions.

We will resume the following Sunday evening to 7:00 pm as usual. People have been inviting and calling everyone they know to come and get God's Word from the prophet for the year and also for their lives. While speaking to him the other night, Prophet Ben began prophesying to me the Word of the Lord for City Bible Church. I stopped him and asked him to please save it for Sunday. He said O.K. Please invite friends, colleagues, family and neighbors. These will be memorable services.
It's wonderful to see how many people are attendingWednesday night's Bible study too. We are seeing the attendance increase in every service. Hallelujah. God's people have never been as excited and enthusiastic about being in church. Let's keep the fire spreading as we let the glory of the Lord overflow out of us to cover the earth as the water covers the sea. Come expecting your miracles. Remember this is your year for "Conquest."

You were born (again) to Conquer. Hallelujah!

Our Utmost For His Highest,

Your Year of Conquest!

Hi Family,

This coming Sunday, come and enjoy sitting around His fire. Hallelujah. His fire and presence will tenderly warm you from within and without. His life will flow and fall like fire in both Sunday services bringing with it comfort, direction and life. See you there. This Sunday is the official opening service for 2010. Come and celebrate with us as we welcome 2010 together as a family.

It's been so encouraging to see how God's people have been unaffected by the weather conditions with their attendance. This shows such maturity. We are so proud of what the Lord is doing in your lives. We need to set our routine and put into place our church attendance as a priority and also our involvement in the Kingdom.

This last Wednesday night was awesome as we were lit up with the "Light of Prophecy". Get this CD for a powerful teaching that will illuminate your life and make you even more responsive to His Prophetic Word. His Word will actually take on a whole new meaning when you know how it can most effectively impact your life. Knowledge is power and brings the faith to take hold of His Word in a more active and life changing way.

Preparation is everything. You can go on an amazing vacation, but if you arrived there unprepared, it can mess things up. It's like going to the beach with no chairs, no umbrella, no towels and no sun tan lotion. What should be an enjoyable time can turn into a disaster. We are entering into the most exciting year of our lives. We are preparing ourselves for "Conquest", Victory and Restoration.

This week, everything goes back to our normal daily structure and routine. Hallelujah! Take heart, this is our year of "Conquest". And Conquer we shall! The Lord is going to fulfill His Word to us like never before. Remember, every time discouragement sets in, keep in mind that your God is "greater than he that is in the world." Let's get back in the river where we belong and also make this a year of studying and knowing His Word in a more diligent way.

See y'all Sunday.

Our Utmost For His Highest
Your loving pastors,
Pastors Errol and Debbie

Happy New Year, Family,

Hi Family,

A very Blessed and prosperous New Year to all of you. We believe for an exceptional year for you all and for success in everything you put your hand to.

The New Years eve service was an absolute blowout as we wrote our 2010 History, in advance (casting vision). I encourage you all to get the CD of God's Word for our year and get your Vision Casting forms. Fill them out, and as you look at it throughout the year, you will run with your God given vision.

Our theme for the year is "Conquest" in 2010. It can just be words, or it can be the very theme that guides our lives, our decisions, our choices, and gives us the determination to never give up, persevering until we have overcome and conquered every hinderance and obstacle to us fulfilling our purpose and destiny. This theme will be the light that lights up our pathway and we need to not deviate from it.

"We overcome him with by the blood of the lamb and the Word of our testimony." Make the decision now that should you fall, you will get up, repent, be forgiven and keep advancing. We will hold on to the confession of our faith. This will take us step by step forward, as we take possession of our land. "Every place on which your foot shall tread, I have given it to you."

Invite your friends and family to the Sunday services this month as we receive step by step guidance from the Holy Spirit and unfolding instruction in our exciting journey for 2010. Every service counts and is vital to our growth, nourishment and to the keeping our focus through the vibrant worship and the dynamic Word. These are the very blocks which the Lord uses to build our lives.

Remember the enemy is just as busy trying to distract you and to take your focus off the Lord, your purpose and ultimately off your destiny. God is a God of order. Be aware of him doing his utmost to take you off course. He (the devil) is cunning and comes as an angel of light. Don't be side-tracked by "illusions of grandeur" or greener pastures in other relationships or situations. Deception looks real, feels real and even sounds real yet it's from the enemy of your soul.

Make church attendance your priority for 2010. Let this be the year Jesus is put first in everything, and like dominoes, everything else will fall into place.

We love you and look forward to another year of relationship building and family love to share with one another.

Our utmost For His Highest.

Pastors Errol and Debbie
