Moving with God!

Agreeing with God to see change.

"Come all who are weary..."

We are experiencing a move of God like never before in The Body. We are seeing evidence of it in our midst. Solomon's Porch Saturday ministry time is looking more and more like the unified body than ever before. All denominations, cultures, races, and economic classes are coming together to tell of the Good News of Jesus. On any given Saturday, Baptist, Catholic, Pentecostal, Methodist, non-denominational, rich, poor, young, old, mature in Christ and the recently set free are ministering love and deliverance to anyone who will hear. We have spent the past 2 years praying for this to happen and we are seeing it begin to come to pass. God is moving.

At Mercy Seat Church last Sunday, we had a drug dealer, a homosexual addict, a suicidal woman, an oppressed man, and many others come to the alter individually, take the microphone and confess their sin and profess their need for a savior. Two women who joined us at Solomon’s Porch the day before and professed to be Wiccan, came back for church and received prayer for Jesus to be Lord and work their life.

Today at Solomon’s Porch, several new faces came saying I don’t need anything to eat, but I heard about your church and I wanted to come and meet you and tell you I want to come to your church. Oh, the prayers that are being answered! All the prayers for this place to be a Light in the darkness that draws the lost in like moths to a flame. Come and rejoice with us. Cry out for God’s will to be done and for His Kingdom to come. For Him to be lifted up and for men to be drawn to Him for salvation and freedom.

The door has opened for us to move Mercy Seat Church to another larger location. We are so happy and honored to be allowed to have use of the old Cornerstone Baptist Church building just south down Ervay street from where we are now. We along with World Impact, share the same heart and vision as Pastor Chris Simmons at Cornerstone and are looking forward to transforming South Dallas, all of our ministries working alongside one another. Our service time will change from 6:30 pm to 2pm Sundays beginning Nov. 1. We will also begin a 6 week Freedom Class series on Wednesday nights beginning Nov. 4.
We would be honored if you would join us to worship our Savior for what He has done and what He is going to do. -Leann

The Body Of Christ In Action

It's a beautiful thing. This Saturday, it was such a blessing to see God's family come together in one Spirit and in one accord. We had non-denominationals, Baptists, Pentecostals, Catholics and many more, working together to represent Jesus.

We had a man named Miguel make a decision for Christ and requested help to put himself in a Christian drug and alcohol treatment program. He confessed that he had served the Lord before in a powerful way, even leading people to Christ himself. He had abandoned his faith and turned to the ways of darkness. He now wanted to return to his first love and never look back. Praise God!

Here is an example of how God works when we don't see it at the time: About 5 weeks ago, an opportunity came up for one of our team members on the street (I'll call him Fred) to get an apartment with some guys from the Bunkhouse. Fred works 5-6 days a week, is recently saved, loves and shares Jesus everywhere he goes. He truly is an example of Christ on the streets. However, these were not the most Godly men he could have chosen for roommates. He stopped coming to Saturday Solomon's Porch ministry and Church. We were concerned and began praying for him.

We have a group of "Jesus street warriors" that look out for one another throughout the week. Reports were coming back to us through them that Fred was starting to drink beer and was really being influenced by his new roomies. Our street warrior team kept encouraging him and asking him to come back every time they would see him in the neighborhood. Over the weeks, he still stayed away.

Here is the incredible part. While we were looking at the natural and assuming that Fred had left the straight path to return to worldly ways, information came to us that opened our Spiritual eyes. The man named Miguel that I mentioned at the beginning, who gave his heart back to Jesus, turned out to be one of those "bad influence roommates" of Freds!

Fred has moved out of the shared apartment and back into the bunkhouse. I suspect we will see him next Saturday. God uses everyone, everywhere who will speak His word and share His gospel. Even though Fred may not have acted just like we would have liked for him too, the presence of God he carries and the testimony of his mouth penetrated the darkness that shrouded Miguel. Praise God that His thoughts are higher than our thoughts!
