9-1-1 Prayer Gathering

Join us all Lancaster county leaders and residents on Sunday, September 11th at 1:00p.m. in front of the historic courthouse downtown Lancaster, SC. As we gather together to pray, seek God's face and declare in God we STILL trust.

We are "Fired Up" to go "Higher Up"

We are in the second month of this New Year of God's Favor and we Expect the Great. No matter what we faced last year, last month or last night,

We Expect the Great Today and Tomorrow! I hear the sound of Abundance    therefore I declare and decree:

Fruitfulness and Favor for the Faithful this February!

Fruitful and Favored Sons and Daughters of the King.

According to 2 Samuel 9:1, I declare that the Father's Blessing, Favor and      Inheritance is ours and we are going to take possession of those things that    belong to us.

There are those who are looking to favor us. Doors of Divine Opportunity are opening up; we shall walk through the doors and enjoy the promises and fruit  of our Father's Inheritance. This month We encourage our Single Members to   commit themselves to living Single, Saved and Sold Out lives to Jesus.

We pray that our families, youth, and marriages be positively impacted. New friendships develop. And that each of you receive financially as well; especially as we are giving our First Fruit Offerings and sowing into our Leaders lives. As you be obedient to sow your Special first Fruits Offering, I declare that We shall receive a double portion blessing according to the scriptures:

2 Chronicles 20:20

 1 Kings 17:10; 18:4 

2 Kings 4:8

 Matthew 10:41

Romans 13:7

 2 Corinthians 8:11-15

 Galatians 6:6-10

Therefore, this year, as we are obedient to the Word of God and purpose in our hearts to make "First things First" by "Putting Jesus First" in ALL areas; acknowledging, thanking and honoring Him first when we awaken. Give Him the First part of our day and time. As well as giving to Him the first of our finances; so that we can access the blessing that is available to the obedient, we can   legally receive the increase and the anointing

to Prosper will manifest on our behalf.

Therefore, this month, we are Fired Up and seeking God through His Word and Prayer to develop greater in our relationship with Him. And we believe we will see God's effects and influence in all areas of our lives; our Faith walk, our   Family, our Finances and our Friendships. Scriptures for each area have been provided in order to assist us with development for each area.  

Ready, Get Set, Go.....

Determined and Diligent

As we come to the last month on the American Calendar of the year 2011, we reflect back on the past 11 months, and prepare for the months ahead.

There have been many challenges and battles, but God has given us the victory. It reminds me of what David said in Psalm 34:19, "Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but God Delivers Them Out Of Them All." We thank God that He is our God and our Deliverer.

Jesus said in John 16:33b, "In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." That word "world" in Greek is the word "kosmos" meaning world, age and speaking of this earthly, natural realm, its systems 

and way of doing things.

Jesus was giving us a word of encouragement before we even needed it. Why? He knew how this world's system operated. He knew we would need the encouragement. He knew the world's system was unstable and therefore there would always be challenges and troubles in this world. However; He encouraged us by saying, "we could have peace, we could be of good cheer and we could overcome even in this world as long

 as we operated IN HIM."  

So, during this last month of 2011, we are going to be more Determined and Diligent, Determined means to be resolved, decided, settled and unwavering. Diligent means to be constant in efforts to accomplish something or ones tasks and duties; to be attentive and persistent in doing something, ones tasks or duties. 

Therefore, as we close out 2011 and enter 2012, We, at The Master's Ministry of Freedom Empowerment Center, (The Embassy Headquarters for The Master's Operations), will be more Determined, Decided, Resolved, Settled and Unwavering; We will be more Diligent, constant in our efforts to "be about The Father's Business and The Master's Work." We will be attentive to what God has called us to do. We will follow the Holy Spirit and be persistent in what He tells and leads us to do and we will accomplish His work. 

As we enter into 2012,   we will be even more Determined and Diligent to seek Him, learn more of who we are IN HIM and operate as He has given us access and ability to operate IN and THROUGH Him.

In Hebrews 11:6, He promises us, "But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that come to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that Diligently seek Him."  

Therefore, I declare, in Jesus name that Rewards are coming in 2012. So, let's go after the souls. Let's touch peoples lives with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and tell them of His love for them. Let's finish 2011 Strong, Determined and Diligent, "being about our Father's Business and The Master's Work."

Testimonies:

Lancaster High School Quarterbacks and members of The Master's Ministry had the opportunity to put the Word of God and prayer to work on their behalf.

Jerell White, (Lancaster High School JV Football Quarterback, keyboard player and lead dancer on the Mime Team at The Master's Ministry), pulled an ACL and was  expected to have a long recovery time, but being taught the word of faith and prayer, he had his leaders lay hands on him and pray for healing. He confessed that he believed his leg would heal quickly and he is now out of his brace.

Shaquille Williams, Lancaster High's Varsity Football Quarterback and drummer at The Master's Ministry was tackled in a game last week and was told that he probably had cracked ribs, but after prayer and declaring the word of faith over his body, he had NO cracked ribs, he was just a little sore. Praise God for His healing and protection and these young Athletes and their families applying the word of God to their situations and seeing it work!

"We are Pulling Down Strongholds, Building Kingdom People and Crossing into the Next Dimension of Kingdom Work"

The word of the Lord to The Master's "Next Dimension" Ministry.

Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying;

Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou came forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a Prophet unto the Nations.

Then said I, Ah, Lord God, behold, I can not speak: For I am a child.

But 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.

Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord.

Then 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.

See 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.

Jeremiah 1:4-10

The Supernatural

*REAL Testimony: Bishop Altheresa's Brother: Gunshot wound to the head - Declared DEAD, but the Supernatural Power of God brought him back to life!

It's not spooky, not crazy, but it is real and available for God's People to operate in.
 As we add the final touches to the September Newsletter, I personally think back over these 28 years of serving God and seeing Him manifest His Supernatural Power over and over again on behalf of ourselves, our family and friends; as well as, to use us to pray or lay hands on others.

I'm so thankful to Abba, Father God for every time He has manifested His presence on our behalf. There is no God like our Father, God. I don't have enough time here to share all of the things that we have seen God do or even the things He has used us to do, but during our teaching time this month, We will try to share some of these testimonies with you. 

It is our desire to help stir your desire to go deeper in the things of God, to stir your faith to go after what God says is available to you and to teach you how to operate in the things of God, so that you will experience the Supernatural Power of God in your own life; as well as be used by God to help others.

We will share this most recent personal testimony with you. On Friday, July 22, 2011, my younger brother was shot in the head and declared to be dead. When the family arrived and through a course of events, surgery was performed on him to try to save his life. After surgery, the diagnosis was still no hope, no brain activity; only the respirator was technically keeping him with us.

Prayers all over began to go out for him through family and friends from SC State University and through Facebook. I didn't get the message until the next morning, July 23, but I wasn't able to get to him right away. I consulted the Lord as to what to do and I was given the leading to follow through with my commitment and assignment. (We were conducting Leadership Training for the Next Level Leaders of our church and the Blood of the Lamb Church with Pastor Carolyn Spellman, all that day on Saturday July 23.)

But because of knowing the word of God, who the word says I am in God and how the Spiritual Realm of the Supernatural operates, though I couldn't get there in the natural, physical, right then, I went by way of the spirit, through the Power of the Word of God in prayer.(I'll teach you what I mean. It's all biblical.)

I began to command death to obey my authority in and through the name of Yeshua Jesus and get back, leave my brother alone. I declared the word of God that, “he shall live and not die and declare the works of the Lord." And then, I called life to return back into him, In Jesus name. When I finished praying, I gave God thanks and praise for the miracle. I said, "little brother, I will see you in a few hours," and then I went on in to my training class. 

That evening, I was able to go to the hospital. I met our sister and we went into his ICU room to pray. We laid hands on his lifeless, cold body and I began to pray in the Spirit. Then, what I heard by the Spirit, I began to call out and call forth. A few minutes later, our little brother started moving a finger on his left hand and trying to open his eyes for the first time. That was the first sign of life, Hallelujah!

On the next day, Sunday when Bishop Ed and I went back to see him, he had more hand motion. He was kicking his left leg and trying to wake up. But for some reason, during that first week, every sign we saw, the doctors tried to dismiss and down play. They still said that there was not enough brain activity to really acknowledge that he would make it, or that he was even really alive. They said that it was just reflexes, BUT GOD. My sister and I began to stay at night with him and pray. By that Wednesday night, I stayed all night in the room with him and prayed over him. I prayed for the brain to be quickened and the activity to show up on the monitors and tests.

The next day, the swelling on his brain had gone down, the doctors were able to see there was real brain activity and then they began to be hopeful and more positive. By the first of the next week, he was out of the coma, off the respirator and breathing on his own.

You all are the first to hear this, but on today, Tuesday August 30, my little brother is being released out of the hospital to go home. HALLELUJAH! GLORY to GOD! The Supernatural Power of God is real and available to all. The more you know about it, the more you can see it manifest.

Join us on Sunday Mornings and Wednesday Nights this month of September, and receive greater understanding of "The Supernatural." You can learn more of How to operate in it to see more breakthroughs and miracles take place in your life and those connected to you.

The Anointing makes the Difference

During the month of August read the book of 1 Samuel chapters 1-31. Look for the application of the anointing. See how it is released, received and the effects of it on a person’s life. Isaiah 10:27b says, “the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing."

Did you know that an anointing is available to you? This month of August, we will explore the word of God and uncover knowledge and revelation about the anointing, and why and how you can receive it.

In Luke 4:18, Jesus said, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me and He has anointed me....
