Michele Vento a member of our church here at Blairsville, Pa. has written a powerful book called America Take Five to Pray. It is a daily challenge to come together in prayer for our nation with powerful prayer points to pray for.

Michele is available to come to churches, ladies groups etc. to not only challenge folks to pray but to help them to make prayer a priority in their lives.

The following is from an e-mail that was sent from a pastor and was sent to many people on her E-Mail list.

Greetings to all of you from Pastor Susan Hans,

Our lives all take interesting journeys......some near, some far........ beginning in July 2007 to the present my journeys have led me up and down the East Coast from Maine to Miami. In the spring of this year I spent three weeks in Fairfield, NJ just outside New York City, then three weeks in central and eastern Idaho including Boise. Afterward a week in the Chesapeake Bay area of MD, NJ, PA and then back to the OH Valley. Currently, I am in Anchorage, Alaska for three to four weeks after which I will be in Houston, TX for several weeks. All I can say is America is truly beautiful!

My eyes have been blessed to see so many awesome and glorious sites everywhere I have been. Wonders of nature, diversities of people, ingenuity and technology of man soaring in cities, abounding in farmlands, preserving historical sites, discovering new ways to preserve, renew, and cure our physical, environmental and economic/social problems, the list goes on. I have observed tremendous efforts that are initiated in communities, through organizations, churches, specialized programs and businesses to aid in the continuous battles of human suffering and hopefully bring some relief.

Human suffering is the focus of much of our attention. Humans suffer .... if a list were established to record all human suffering I imagine there wouldn't be enough paper or ink in the world to complete it. Could it really be completed even if there were? So many initiatives have been launched in the name of human suffering it is hard to know which to support as there are so many worthy causes.

I have sent you this extraordinary email because you are a Believer on the Lord Jesus Christ, a Christian, one who follows Jesus. THERE IS AN INITIATIVE that every Believer, and I mean every Believer, needs to exercise right now
in our daily lives. In a world that is full of initiatives focusing on human suffering, there is one initiative that stands out above all................it is the initiative that Jesus Christ gave to His Church.......the Church is the Body of Believers on the Lord Jesus Christ. Those who have been washed in His blood, sanctified by His Word, and set apart by His Spirit. If this is YOU, and I believe it is, here is what I ask you to do........

1. Go to this Web site: Americatake5.com
2. Read the Initiative for believers
3. Listen the the 15 minute video
4. Join the Initiative
5. Send this email to every Christian on your email list

The greatest human suffering, greater than the cancer - greater than natural disasters - greater than crime - greater than job loss: THE SUFFERING OF A SOUL LOST FOR ETERNITY............Go now to Americatake5.com
and take the initiative!!

Special weekend for Me

This weekend will be my 22 year anniversary at the church I have been the pastor of since 1987. My birthday is officially on Saturday and I have reached 65 and Sunday =22 yrs exactly.

When I came here we moved on my birthday and my first sermons as pastor here were on Sunday September 27. I have learned a lot here, both about myself and about people. God has also taught me a lot about Himself as I have been here. I have been through times of great happiness and joy and of great sadness and sorrow as well. At times I wanted to leave here in the worst way. God has never opened another door for me to leave but chose to bless me here.

The Lord is good all the time.

Trust God!

Be blessed!

The Future of the Church

People are always questioning the relativity of the church to this time in our world. How does the church fit in?

Ralph Winter said: “Unless and until the future of the world becomes more important to the Church than it’s own future....the Church has no future in the world.”

What do you think about that statement? How does it fit in with what you believe?

Blessed in Christ

Blessed in Christ

Ephesians 1:3 - 8 (KJV) 3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. 7In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; 8Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;

Where sin abounds in God's grace He super-abounds to us through Jesus Christ the Lord. He has blessed us with all that the Father has - all that the Son has done and all that the Holy Spirit can apply to us in Christ.

God thought about us before he ever placed us in our mothers womb to be born on this earth and declared us blessed in Christ... PTL

Man in the Image of God

Genesis 1:26 - 27 (NIV) 26Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth,£ and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

Man was created in the image of God. Here are 9 aspects of this to consider.
Man was created:
1. eternal in his being
2. loving in his nature - character
3. powerful - in word and deed
4. creative - God is creative
5. with knowledge - named all the animals that God brought to him
6. authoritative told to take dominion
7. walikng in light - no sin
8. fruitful - told to multiply
9. Productive - tend the garden

The Key to Power With God and Man

The Holy Spirit is shown to be the one who reveals to us Jesus and all about the kingdom. Christianity could be called a religion of revelation.
The revelation by the Holy Spirit is the master key to the entire kingdom of God. It opens every door in the kingdom and makes it all accessible to us. See John 14, 15, and 16 as Jesus explained what the Holy Spirit would do. Then apply the truths there to your life now. Revelation is the key to power with God and men.

1. The Holy Spirit reveals truth
2. Revelation brings understanding
3. Understanding leads to application
4. Application brings kingdom benefit to self and others
5. Benefit brings opportunities
6. Opportunities are the key to witnessing
7. Witnessing is a key to the salvation of others
8. Salvation is Gods will for all men everywhere

Husbands, Love Your Wives

1 Peter 3:7 (NIV) 7Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.

I Made my wife dinner of Angus NY strip steak, Broccoli in cheese sauce and a sweet potato so when she came home from work today, dinner was ready to eat and she only had to sit and enjoy it. She loved that.

I really enjoy doing things like that and cleaning up the kitchen and even running the sweeper. My wife works outside the home so I try to help her out some at home.

Ephesians 5:24 - 25 (KJV) 24Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. 25Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

A Great Day

Had an awesome day yesterday. We had a great service as I preached the last of 6 messages on write the vision. Casting the vision before the church of what God says church is all about. The presence of God in the service was awesome and We were blessed with visitors from Illinois and New York.

A New Book was made available at our morning service.
One of the folks that is at the church I pastor has authored a book and it is now off the press and available to the public. I have the FIRST signed copy. You can go to her website and order the book and she is available to come and minister at your church on prayer which is the essence of the book. America Take Five to Pray.
America Take Five

Call the First Assembly of God in Blairsville Pa. to make arrangements for her to come to minister at your church.

We took a Wyotech student to lunch. God brought him to our church and has been challenging him to not be afraid to go and follow the Lord in what He is calling him to do. God is awesome.

Then we went to do a water baptism. A young lady that is wanting more of the Lord. She was reading her Bible and said she saw she needed to be water baptized. I asked her some questions during the water baptismal time and ahe publiclly confessed Jesus as her Lord and Saviour at that time, in front of family and friends, and we baptized her in water. Right after that we celebrated her birthday with chocolate cake..it was great!

God is Good all the time and all the time God is good.

Tell me what you think here. OK?

I really don't know what is true here about the birth certificate. If it is true and if the people have bought a lie - what would, what would have been done in the matter be called, in the legalities of established law and our Constitution?

9/11 A Special Day

If we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself - 2 Timothy 2:13

9/11 was a terrible day for this nation and also the world was affected as well. As a pastor I opened up the church to our community to come and pray and held special services to help people deal with the travisty of 9/11 and point them to Jesus Christ in the process. What bothers me the most now is this: I saw the people come into the churches temporially for several weeks only.

They went back to spiritual apathy as soon a the government brought their solutions to the forefront. As if the government is the answer to the problem. Has a strong delusional spirit been allowed to cloud/or blind the minds of the people in this country? The problem is not the events of 9/11 but the condition of the hearts of all men. Jesus Christ is the... only solution... for what ails all of mankind. People need to do Hebrews 10:25 today more than ever. The churches should be full every Sunday. In some other countries they have church services every day and we think that is revival in this country.

The affect that 9/11 has on me is that as a pastor I have been more aware that we as the church, God's people, those who name the name of Jesus as Lord need to be about our Fathers business! The harvest is truly plenteous but the laborers are few..pray... the Lord of the HARVEST to send laborers into the harvest. Pray that He would send you!


2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV) 14If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

God is incredible!

Jeremiah 1:4 - 10 (KJV) 4Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 5Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. 6Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child. 7But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak. 8Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD. 9Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth. 10See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.


God is incredible. Isn't He?
Before He formed us in our mothers womb He knew or chose us. God has set us apart individually for the very thing He designed us to do. We think we came to God on our own but in John's Gospel Jesus says He chose us.

What is truly amazing to me is that God thinks about me now and He has already provided for my eternity.

So if God be for us who can be against us? We need not be afraid to do what it is that God has equiped us to do. There should be no fear factor there in anything we do for the Lord.

Ask God what it is that He has set you apart to do.

Disaster Response
Often the winds of a storm haven’t even stopped blowing when Convoy of Hope’s Disaster Response team rolls in. We are considered a “first responder” organization in disaster relief. With a fleet of tractor-trailers, a 300,000-square-foot warehouse, a Ham Radio Network, a high-tech Mobile Command Center, and by utilizing our points of distribution model we have become an active and efficient disaster relief organization by providing resources and help to victims of disasters. However, we do not go at it alone. We rely heavily on the faith-based community and national and state disaster relief agencies and organizations. We have also developed a disaster preparedness program to educate communities so that they can prepare for and respond to disasters.

Set Apart For God by God

From my early childhood I have never felt like I fit in anywhere in this world. I have always felt that I was an outsider. Even in the body of Christ I feel that I am set apart to God for God and His purposes. I have been frustrated at times because I march to the tune of a different drummer and I was always striving to be accepted by others and tried to fit their mold and live up to their expectations of me. Until one day I understood that God has given me Jesus to be my all in all and that it is that relationship, eternal in it's nature, that needs to be developed and cultivated. At this point in my life I care very little about the judgements of people on my life and my personality. I am set apart for God by God and my desire is greater and greater growth in that relationship.

God has called me and continues to equip me so that I am able to help to equip others. I have been discipled to disciple others for the kingdom work that must be done.

The Lord has requested that we pray the Lord of the harvest that He send forth laborers into the harvest, which is His. Even pray that He would send us for the harvest IS plenteous but the laborers are few.

Jeremiah 1:4 - 10 (KJV) 4Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 5Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. 6Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child. 7But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak. 8Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD. 9Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth. 10See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.

Seek Those Things Which Are Above

Colossians 3:1 - 17 (KJV) 1If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. 5Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: 7In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. 8But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 9Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 10And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: 11Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. 12Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 14And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. 15And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. 16Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

When our affections are set on Christ, on the things that are above we will be like a couple that is infatuated with each other to the point where nothing else matters. Like a couple that is dating and even when they part ways their thoughts are constantly with each other. After parting wyas phone calls are made and texting (today)and they just can't seem to get enough of each other. When our relationship gets that way with God through Jesus Christ it becomes easy to see that we are in this world but not of it. The priority of heaven then can more easily become our priority. There is no king but Jesus!


Matthew 6:9 - 13 (KJV) 9After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11Give us this day our daily bread. 12And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Illegal Activity By The President & the DOE- click here

For years I have cautioned people that the public school system is being used to rob our children of their creativity and to quench the ability to think properly and reason. Now, is the public brainwashing begining as this country moves very rapidly toward Global Government where you can't buy or sell unles you have the mark of the beast on your forhead or your hand. (the day is approaching rapidly) Consider what is going on with the president speaking to our children. Is it innocent or is it another step closer to the indoctrination of the youth of this nation?

Hebrews 10:25 is the mandate for the church is this day and time and season. Time is short...shake, shake, shake....everything that can be shaken shall be shaken so that only the unshakable remains...hang on to the Lord.

If we don't train up our children in the way that they should go someone will. We have the awesome responsibility given by God to train up our children. Teach them how to think and evaluate things according to the will of God and not to be just politically correct.

This Gospel of the Kingdom

Matthew 24:3 - 14 (NIV) 3As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” 4Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,£’ and will deceive many. 6You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8All these are the beginning of birth pains. 9“Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. 14And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

It isn't only the Gospel but the Gospel of the kingdom that must be preached in all the world for a witness. The same Gospel Jesus was preaching -- the kingdom of God is at hand -- ever since John the Baptist the kingdom of God has been the life changing factor in God's plan for mankind.
Unless a man be born again he can't even see the kingdom of God.
