Thanksgiving Passover Communion
Last Sunday we served Thanksgiving dinner and enjoyed fellowship with 32 present. We will give thanks in a more solemn and reverent way as we approach Thanksgiving Day.
Come join us tomorrow at Waverly CGP for Passover Communion. "For even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us...1 Cor. 5:7b
Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. (Revelation 5:12 KJV)

Prayer Initiative
We are thankful for God's presence in our times of seeking HIM. We want to praise the Lord for a spirit of compassion and a passion to seek HIM in our prayer times. There are testimonies of healing, deliverance and restoration. We thank God for the following testimonies.
A Daughter is providentially protected in a major vehicle wreck. Authorities stated that anyone in the vehicle she was in should have been killed or critically injured. Our prayer time the week before had included a request and prayer for a member's grandchildren. She is one of those grandchildren. She testified that an angel came in the car with her and protected her. She is recovering from minor injuries and emotional struggles.

A son leaves the drug culture and returns to the Lord and back home with his family. He is asking for continued prayer as he seeks God daily to remain drug-free.
A young teen (16 years old) had left her mother over some boundary issues and went to live with her father who does not have custody. The mother was crushed and heart broken. After requesting prayer, the church prayed for this and God answered. The teen is back with her mother and is submitting to her mother's discipline and care.
Several testify to being refreshed and encouraged as the Holy Spirit has come into our midst with empowerment and encouragement.
One of the main focuses of this prayer initiative is to seek the Holy Spirit to help the church move from a "maintenance" attitude or inward focus to a "missional" attitude or outward focus to people who need salvation in Christ.
We continue these intensive Times of seeking the Lord two times a month - 1st and 3rd Sundays at 5 pm.
If 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. 2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV)
Sow for yourselves righteousness; Reap in mercy; Break up your fallow ground, For it is time to seek the Lord, Till He comes and rains righteousness on you. (Hosea 10:12 NKJV)

Seeking God Intensive Initiative
2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV)If 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.
"This evening we seek the Lord for his agenda. We seek the Lord for His will for this time of seeking Him and his favor."
The above passage and statement began a time of intensively seeking God by the congregation of the Waverly Church of God of Prophecy (WCGP). After three weeks of seeking Him on each of the past three Sunday evenings (Oct. 2, 9, 16) at 5 pm until, we can give thanks and honor to Him for being present in our midst. The three weeks have realized a powerful move of the Holy Spirit as people have shared needs, desires, failures and sins and God's presence has overwhelmed us. We are thankful for an average of 13 being present to cry out to God, seek His face and turn from our wicked ways.
We believe He will, then, forgive our sin and heal "our" land. We continue to seek Him to open our hearts and minds to realize and receive godly repentance that leads to godly living and serving in Christ's vision and mission.
We thank all those who have given time in this prayer initiative. We anticipate and expect great and awesome things as we put God and His agenda alone on our prayer initiative.
Appreciation goes out to Stephen James for leading in this effort. May God be continually glorified!!!
Seeking God through prayer is one of our core values. We will continue this prayer initiative for the glory of God.

09-11-11 A Day To Challenge Us...
There are many articles, news reports and media events surrounding the the ten year memorial day of 09-11-01. There will be prayer gatherings, prayer events, memorial services and possibly every church in America will have something to remember this tragic event when over 3000 people lost their lives. This time of prayer and memorializing is to be expected and commended where genuine seeking of God is found. Questions comes to mind. Will this be a temporary time of prayer? Will our nation continue on the path away from Biblical principles and lifestyles? Will this be only a time to commemorate a disaster or will it be a turning form wickedness and turning to God as 2 Chronicles 7:14 admonishes? No, I'm not saying the Twin Towers disaster was a punishment from God but it certainly was a wakeup call for Christians to be sober and diligent in seeking God. This is a time for a great opportunity.
Yes, we have a great opportunity to put forth a challenge in churches all across America since 09-11-11 is on Sunday this year. We have an opportunity to seriously share the need for continuously seeking God. We have an opportunity to share with our children and youth the value and priority of daily seeking God. We have the opportunity of coming to the cross where the blessed Savior died and to the empty tomb where he rose from the dead and is alive forever more. We have the opportunity of coming boldly to the throne of grace where he ever lives to make intercession for us. We have the opportunity to challenge people to seek God, not simply or only on 09-11-11 but every day of our lives. Let's use this opportunity to encourage importunity in prayer - to seek Him every day not just special occasions or memorial days....

Update - Africa Report and Prayer Initiative
We were blessed by the presentation of Stephen James on his mission trip to Africa. He is a young minister seeking God and studying to grow in Christ.
He and I have been meeting and encourageing each other and also discussing and planning a corporate strategic prayer initiative for Waverly and surrounding area. This is not a specific Church of God of Prophecy prayer gathering. It is for all who want to join us in the area. We will meet in a room at the Waverly COGOP or in the auditorium as needed.
We will begin this time of SEEKING GOD on the first Sunday evening in October at 5 pm and each Sunday evening thereafter or as announced. We are using the Scripture 2 Chronicles 7:14 as our emphasis. This prayer time is informal and will be open to anyone for prayer requests, testimonies, sharing scripture and personal struggles and needs. We will be listening to the Holy Spirit and seeking God for divine intervention, true revival and whatever He speaks to us. We will be asking God for forgiveness where we have failed and seeking for humility and repentance. We will focus on the vision and mission of Christ in our communities.
The enemy would make this time seem insignificant but we can be sure that prayer is at the top of the list in spiritual warfare. Though it is a simple effort in that we are not limiting the time, making a program outline or setting certain objectives, it is very profound in that we enter and press forward in this time of praying to humble ourselves, confess and repent of "wicked ways" and seek God's face.
Please join us in this time. If you can't attend please pray with us. "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray........"

THE MIDNIGHT CRY
Matthew 25:1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
JESUS IS COMING! JESUS IS COMING! The cry has gone out for many years since he ascended after His resurrection. There are those who scoff and say that everything is the same and there is nothing to prove that he is coming. The Apostle Peter records in 2 Peter 3:3&4 "Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation." Jesus spoke of ten virgins who were to be ready to meet the bridegroom. It is obvious that he is speaking of His own return as the bridegroom and of those who are to be ready when He comes again. He uses this analogy of the bridegroom and the ten virgins.
He says five of the ten were wise and five were foolish. The five wise had oil in their vessels and their lamps. Because the bridegroom tarried they all ten slumbered and slept. The cry was made at midnight (an unlikely hour for him to come) that the bridegroom is now coming. The ten virgins arose from slumber and trimmed their lamps. The five foolish virgins trimmed their lamps as the five wise did but the foolish had no vessels with oil to re-fuel their lamps. The five foolish were out of oil and asked for oil from the five wise ones. The five wise would not give oil to the foolish lest they not have enough but told them to buy their own. It is interesting to note that the five wise brought, not only their lamps but VESSELS with OIL IN IT. Verse eight indicates that the foolish had trimmed and lit their lamps but had not brought vessels with oil and their oil had depleted in their lamps and their light had gone out.
There can be no light burning in lamps without oil. Oil is symbolic of the Holy Spirit. Without oil in our vessels the light or fire cannot burn in our lamps and must be replenished. Some have compared the ten virgins to ten churches - five wise, prepared, empowered and on fire churches and five foolish, cold, dead and unprepared churches. Whether the ten virgins were churches is not the critical point. Jesus makes clear what is critical in verse thirteen. He says, "watch, for ye know not what hour the Son of Man cometh." Lamps will burn out and oil has to be replenished. Without lamps burning with oil we cannot watch. We must have the Holy Spirit in our lives in order to have our spiritual eyes burning to see the coming of the bridegroom - our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Verse ten says, "And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut." Those that were ready went in with the bridegroom and the door was shut. I remember hearing former General Overseer M. A. Tomlinson say that one of his favorite songs was "Getting Ready To Leave This World." Being ready is what our Lord is emphasizing - watch and be ready for His coming. JESUS IS COMING! JESUS IS COMING! SOON!!! Keep your vessels full of oil and your lamps trimmed and burning!!!

YES We Are Continuing Pastoral Ministry At Waverly COGOP
Several asked after the appointments at the COGOP State Convention and by text and email if we were going back to Waverly and why our names were not called. I cannot answer as to why our names and some others were not called but I (Milton) did speak with Bishop McKinley who said Karen and I are officially appointed back to Waverly COGOP. We anticipate great things in the Lord, seek to reach the harvest and pray to that end. We pray for Holy Spirit empowerment.

Tornado Disaster Relief
By now most everyone is aware of the horrific tornado disasters throughout mostly the Southeastern US, Alabama specifically. There are many needs and we are standing in prayer for those who have suffered great loss. Milton and I have felt impressed to help along with some of our people at the Waverly CGP. We have donated to help in NE Alabama where Bishop Don Brock has been ministering to storm victims. You can click HERE to donate to help in this area where damage is catastrophic and several have been killed.
We have felt the need to help in another area as well. The Waverly CGP is also gathering supplies and transporting them to the Crab Orchard CGP where Pastor Terry Swaw has a 53 foot trailer ready to transport supplies to the Hackleburg community where Pastor Clint Knowles serves as the CGP Pastor. If you would like to bring items to the trailer it is parked in the Crab Orchard CGP parking lot. You can go HERE to get more info.
TN CGP State Bishop E. C. McKinley's BLOG Has more information from the AL State CGP Bishop L. V. Jones Jr.
Continued prayer is needed for these communities, churches and families. Perhaps you cannot give money or items but can you give some time in prayer specifically for this need.

My Dear Aunt Fannie Mae Hill
We received word late yesterday evening that my Great Aunt Fannie Mae Hill went to her final resting place with the Lord.
She lived a long full life of 95 years and served the Lord most of those years. She Pastored several years and was a loving mother. I have special memories of being in her home as a boy and many times as the years went by. She was a kind and sweet woman who loved God and people.
She will be greatly missed. We pray for the family. Aunt Mae no longer is suffering she is now in the celestial, heavenly presence of the Lord!
Go here for funeral and visitation arrangements.

Waverly Church of God of Prophecy..Therefore
We continue to seek God for the ministry at Waverly. We are in a time of seeking HIM for practical direction in following the GREAT COMMISSION. To that end we are empowered to go and preach, teach and witness the gospel in our world in Waverly and surrounding area.
Therefore... What is the therefore there for in the GREAT COMMISSION? Yes, therefore is in the GREAT COMMISSION. Not to be confusing and redundant but to focus on the empowering aspect of the GREAT COMMISSION.... Here is the focus of the GREAT COMMISSION,"And Jesus came to them and spake unto them, saying, "ALL AUTHORITY hath been given unto me in heaven and on earth." Christ assures His disciples that HE has all authority in heaven and IN EARTH. That is the assurance we have for the authority and empowerment needed to fulfill the practical aspect and we hear his directive.."Go ye THEREFORE and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world." Matthew 28:18-20
His disciples then GO in His authority with complete and full empowerment to make disciples and to mentor them to also make disciples. No intimidation, no fear, or distraction can deter His disciples from that GREAT COMMISSION. Waverly is a part of that GREAT COMMISSION.
Now, I ask again what is the therefore there for? The therefore is there for His disciples to remind them that the GREAT COMMISSION is not about them but about HIM and HIS authority. LETS GO!!!!!! IN HIS AUTHORITY!!!!!

Tribute To Bishop Eugene Weakley
Last night was the visitation for Bishop Weakley. Many ministers and friends were there. Someone said, "we could almost have a convention with so many here." It was amazing to see so many out to visit the family and pay their respect to a giant of a man but it was not surprising because Bishop Weakley was loved and he loved many.
He was such a great example as a Christian and minister of the gospel. He became a "father in the faith" to me. I was one of those ministers who needed a lot of prayer, patience and discipline. He offered those needs to me on various occasions. I remember asking him what advice he would give a young minister. He said, "Stay close to God, pray and keep yourself pure."
He became more like my own earthly father as years passed by. My biological father was not in my life from a very early age as a boy and he died in 2002. I remember the last time Dad Weakley was in our home in Huntingdon where we Pastored. We were going to a funeral visitation after Sunday morning service and I was rushing around like I was in a foot race. In his fatherly way he said, "Son you better slow down or you'll be an old man before your time." I've tried to follow that advice ever since.
Sister Weakley is like my second mother. When I first was diagnosed with cancer the first time, I remember calling her and asking for prayer. She said, "I sure will." Thank God for these two faithful prayer warriors. They have been and continue to be great examples of loving,caring and faithful Christians. We will miss Dad Weakley but he has kept the faith and now he is with the Lord. We will see you again dear friend and Dad.
We will continue to pray for Sister Weakley, Regina, Jeff and the rest of the family.

Passing of Bishop Eugene Weakley
We are saddened to report the passing of Bishop Eugene Weakley. He was a giant of a Christian and minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ. He served as State Overseer of TN Church of God of Prophecy for 14 years. We were blessed to serve under his leadership for 10 years as pastors. He will be greatly missed but we rejoice in that his suffering is over and he is now with his Savior and Lord - Jesus Christ.
Karen and I were with the family along with his Pastor Verlin Thornton, Presiding Bishop of The Church of God of Prophecy in Tennessee, Bishop E. C. McKinley and several other pastors, members and friends. His passing was sad but it was also a time of singing and praise and realizing that he reached his final destination - to be in the perfect presence of the Lord for ever and ever.
We continue to pray for the family. Arrangements will be announced later.

The Prayer Life of Christ - DUH!
Luke 5:16 And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.
Now if we simply scantly read only this verse we would basically understand that Christ withdrew to a secluded place and prayed. But if we get some understand of the context or the story surrounding the prayer it will help us better understand the prayer life of Christ. Beginning in verse 12 we read that Jesus was confronted by a leper. This disease is horrible and it eats away at the flesh to the point of eating the fingers off a person. Lepers were supposed to cry unclean and stay a good distance from anyone outside the leper colony or house. No doubt the leper had been crying this but we find that Jesus came close enough for the leper to fall prostrate before Him. Not only were the lepers not to come close to anyone outside the leper colony; no one was supposed to touch them. Jesus heard this leper's plea for help and reached His hand out and touched the leper. The leprosy left the man and Jesus told him to go and show himself to the priest in order to follow the law that God gave Moses. Why do you suppose Jesus told this leper to do that? Well Jesus did not want to have "fame" and "popularity" about miracles. He knew the mission He came for and did not want anything to distract or detain Him from that mission. However, the Scripture says in verse 15 "But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities."
The fact that the Scripture says "But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him" lets us know that the leper didn't keep quiet about his healing. Now what did Jesus do next? According to verse 16, "And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed." The Scripture says he withdrew in the wilderness and prayed. It does not say he healed those who came to Him, it says he withdrew Himself. Jesus did not come specifically to perform miracles. He did perform miracles and he still does but He came to fulfill the mission that God, His Father, sent Him to fulfill. He withdrew when the crowd pressed in for a miracle.
Now I want us to understand that Jesus did heal many more and performed many more miracles but He knew His purpose for coming and that He must stay focused on His Father's mission.
Let's look into the verses after he withdrew to pray. The Scripture says after some days he was teaching in a house with Pharisees and doctors of the law also there. There were four men who had a friend who was plagued with palsy to the point of making him bedfast. They wanted to bring him to Jesus but the house was so packed they couldn't get in the doorway so they took him on the roof (flat roofs in those days) and broke up part of the roof and let him down. When Jesus saw their faith the first thing He said was, "Man thy sins be forgiven thee." You see Jesus was being faithful to His mission to teach fallen man about redemption and reconciliation to His Father and forgiving this man of His sins. This infuriated the Pharisees and doctors of the law. They challenged Him. But Jesus said, verse 22 "What reason ye in your hearts? [23] Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?" The Pharisees and doctors of the law were stunned and became indignant. They told Him only God can forgive sin. I think Christ looked at them with those piercing eyes and in the word of some of the youth today would say, "DUH!"
He shows the reason, the purpose, the mission he came to us by saying, "man thy sins be forgiven thee" and "whether it is easier to say thy sins be forgiven thee or to say rise up and walk." He is the reason today we can have the blessed assurance of the words "thy sins be forgiven thee.
Jesus first of all forgave the man of his sins and then he healed the man of the palsy. What is our focus today? Is it miracles or are we joined with Christ in His mission? Right before he ascended he did not say you shall perform miracles or your ministry will be a great healing ministry, He said, "ye shall be witnesses." He wants us to be with Him for ever and ever and ever. Share your testimony of God's saving, forgiving grace to you through Jesus Christ with someone today. If you haven't experienced that grace simply ask God to save you by telling Him you are sorry for your sins and asking Him to forgive you and you will hear the words, "thy sins be forgiven you." AMEN!!!

Ten Days Are Gone: Today Is 1/11/11
Time moves along quickly. The Scripture teaches "us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom." (Psalms 90:12, NKJV)Psalms 90:10 notes that "The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away." To have a heart of wisdom is to seek to fear God through the great love, mercy and compassion that He has shown to mankind. People live to be various ages. It is not the amount of years that people live on this earth that is vital to a well lived life; it is the amount of life lived in those years that is vital.
Psalm 90 is noted as a prayer of Moses. Perhaps Moses thought his life was about over when he fled from Egypt after murdering an Egyptian. He fled to Midian (Exodus 2:15) and there joined himself to Reuel (Jethro) to keep sheep and married one of his daughters. Perhaps he felt his life was about over at age 80 after he had fathered some children and been a keeper of his father-in-law's sheep for some 40 years. Yet, while on the backside of Mount Horeb watching sheep God had different plans (3:1). Moses was then chosen by the Lord to go lead the people of Isreal out of Egyptian bondage. He led faithfully for 40 years with one event that displeased the Lord (striking instead of speaking to the rock, Numbers 20:7-13).
God kept him strong for the mission that he was called to complete. Scripture says, ". .Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated." When he met God in the mountain and began to realize God's glory and power, he began to have a heart of wisdom. He found God to be all that God desired him to be and do. The GREAT I AM led Moses to the mission and fulfilled the mission through him. (Deuteronomy 34:7 KJV) Wisdom teaches us that to be wise is to be on target and on task in the mission that God has for each one of us. When the calling comes and the target is evident the task will become clearer. The GREAT I AM clarified the target and the task for Moses. Moses set out to fulfill that task but opposition was evident just as it is today. Moses would go to the GREAT I AM in times of those opposition and struggles.
Perhaps Moses prayed this Psalm 90 prayer during a time when he felt that it was over for the children of Israel. Perhaps it was during some of their grumbling and complaining when he was perhaps 100 years old. Perhaps he thought these people are going to continue grumbling and complaining and bellyaching and I'm really at the age to pass on out of here. God did threaten to destroy them at one point and make a nation of Moses (9:13-19) but Moses interceded to God for them. Moses realized that God's time for him and the mission he called him to was not to be squandered. He wanted to stay on target and on task. Yet, he felt the humiliation of the failure of God's people and his own insufficiency. No one is sufficient for God's mission in this life without the GREAT I AM!
Christians, our mission is clear. Our target is evident. Our task is clear. Our Captain, Jesus Christ, has called and commissioned each one to go and teach, preach, witness, love, pray for, visit those who are in the "harvest field" - needing the the Savior and Lord. Whatever age we find ourselves now, as Christians that vision and mission will remain until we draw our last breath here on this earth. We can receive wisdom and instruction from the prayer of Moses. We can understand that God is timeless; He is not bound nor limited by time (Psalm 90:4) Time is vital to us and we must "seek a heart of wisdom" to apply ourselves to the mission of God. We are alloted a measure of God's time. We can number our days - realizing at best we have have 70, 80, perhaps 90 years to fulfill our mission in life that God has given to each one. Yet, we may also feel the urgency in our time to pray the prayer that Moses prayed. Here is the last part of that prayer. Perhaps that prayer speaks to your heart today. . .will you pray it with me for the day and hour we are in. . . Psalms 90:12-17
[12] So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
[13] Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.
[14] O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
[15] Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.
[16] Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children.
[17] And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it. (KJV)
Here is another translation. . .Psalms 90:12-17
[12] So give us knowledge of the number of our days, that we may get a heart of wisdom. [13] Come back, O Lord; how long? let your purpose for your servants be changed. [14] In the morning give us your mercy in full measure; so that we may have joy and delight all our days. [15] Make us glad in reward for the days of our sorrow, and for the years in which we have seen evil. [16] Make your work clear to your servants, and your glory to their children. [17] Let the pleasure of the Lord our God be on us: O Lord, give strength to the work of our hands.
