Better Than Any Reality Show Story
One of the biggest crazes today is Reality Shows. People are basically opening up their entire lives telling and showing the world how they live. What's so strange to me is that the way that most of these people live is nothing to admire or pattern our lives after.
The word of God speaks about the life of believers in Revelation 12:11 "how we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony" (paraphrase). It's talking about overcoming and not airing our inadequacies and short comings to the world.
I am thoroughly convinced that believers have far better stories to tell than folks of the world no matter if they are on television or just plain folks living their lives. Our initial testimony of how we came to know Jesus is the beginning of our story. What makes each of our stories unique is all of them are completely different even though we are connected to the same Savior.
Listen, I not only want to encourage you to think about the power of your testimony more frequently, I want to challenge you to share it more purposefully. We have every reason to share with others how we overcome.
Below is a short tutorial on how to put together your testimony. It can be longer but a 2-5 minute testimony can really have an impact on somebody's life.
Formatting Your 2 to 5 Minute Testimony
Pre-Salvation
1. Take about 30 to 90 seconds talking about where you were born, grew up, your family life and a couple of distinguishing truths about your past before being saved.
Salvation
2. Take another 30 to 60 seconds describing how you came to know Jesus and the circumstances.
Post Salvation
3. Spend about 30 to 90 seconds describing what the Lord has done in your life and how you're living now. Could include family life, personal deliverance, ministry, employment, financial etc...
Invitation
4. Spend the last 30 to 60 seconds inquiring of the reader/listener and invite them to accept the claims of the Bible (if they are a non believer) or challenge them to share their testimony the same way you're sharing yours (if they are a believer).
Stay Blessed,

What Shall We Do Then?
A couple of Sundays ago the Lord led me to share a scripture in 2 Corinthians that I believe pertains to CentrePoint and parts of the church at large. Often we search and search for new things to do when we really ought to be doing what we've been instructed to do in the first place.
Let me share with you how it reads in The Message Bible.
2 Corinthians 8-9 I'm not trying to order you around against your will. But by bringing in the Macedonians' enthusiasm as a stimulus to your love, I am hoping to bring the best out of you. You are familiar with the generosity of our Master, Jesus Christ. Rich as he was, he gave it all away for us—in one stroke he became poor and we became rich.
10-16 So here's what I think: The best thing you can do right now is to finish what you started last year and not let those good intentions grow stale. Your heart's been in the right place all along. You've got what it takes to finish it up, so go to it. Once the commitment is clear, you do what you can, not what you can't. The heart regulates the hands. This isn't so others can take it easy while you sweat it out. No, you're shoulder to shoulder with them all the way, your surplus matching their deficit, their surplus matching your deficit. In the end you come out even. As it is written,
Nothing left over to the one with the most,
Nothing lacking to the one with the least.
This passage led me back to where the Lord had us discovering how to become fishers of men. It's so nice to talk about the scripture but it's a much better thing to see the scripture come to life.
So now here we are in 2012 and what does the Lord have us do? Go back to where we started the year before but with exuberance and a strong will to finish what we started. So for CentrePoint it's about becoming fishers of men.
Where we spent a little time last Sunday was in Mark's gospel in the 6th chapter. Our primary reference was in verses 7-13 where Jesus sent the twelve out two by two to preach the word and cast out unclean spirits.
Mark 6:7 And He called the twelve to Himself, and began to send them out two by two, and gave them power over unclean spirits. 8 He commanded them to take nothing for the journey except a staff—no bag, no bread, no copper in their money belts— 9 but to wear sandals, and not to put on two tunics.
10 Also He said to them, “In whatever place you enter a house, stay there till you depart from that place. 11 And whoever[a] will not receive you nor hear you, when you depart from there, shake off the dust under your feet as a testimony against them.[b] Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!”
12 So they went out and preached that people should repent. 13 And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many who were sick, and healed them.
What is key for us as believers in this era is to utilize the word in methods that are different from the disciples of Jesus' time. We're in an age of technology and I highly doubt if the Lord is opposed to believers heralding the gospel via the means that are available to us. The great thing the disciples and we have in common is we love Jesus just like they did, we have testimonies just like they did and we are called to go into all the world just like they were. The advantage is we have access to technology that allows us to reach the world like they never could.
You want to talk about responsibility? We have a responsibility to carry out the work of preaching the gospel. That's just a few of us, that's all of us. Rather we think we're called or not, it our responsibility as believers to do the work of an evangelist and make full proof of our ministries.
Timothy said it best.
2 Tim 4:1 I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at[a] His appearing and His kingdom: 2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all long suffering and teaching. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. 5 But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
I sometimes feel like Jeremiah the weeping prophet. Crying over the lives of believers who refuse to do what God has instructed. Nevertheless, my assignment is clear. I will continue to compel believers to testify about the goodness of God. I will offer the resources that give assistance to those who are uncomfortable taking the necessary steps to share their faith.
I've heard it preached by more than a few preachers that we are living in a "saints revival." The saints of God will lead this revival. In the marketplace, in their neighborhoods, over the airwaves, basically everywhere the saints gather is an opportunity for the gospel to be shared.
While there are churches around the world prospering there are literally thousands of churches closing every week. Even though churches are closing, there is no excuse for the gospel not to continue to be preached. We're in an era where so many people have been saved for such a long time and know the goodness of God that just this remnant alone can turn the world right side up with the truth that is within them.
Get ready church. It's time for your light to shine. It's time for you to be used by the Lord. Like 2 Corinthians said, all it takes is a willing mind. We know God is able and you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you but do you have a willing mind?
Stay blessed,
Pastor Cedric

God's House Part 1
"The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former, says the LORD of hosts. And in this place I will give peace, says the LORD of hosts.” Haggai 2:9
What a fascinating word to hear. Many believers have heard this statement and have shouted praises to the Lord on this verse alone. The truth of the matter, there is a lot that went on before this word.
Then the word of the LORD came by Haggai the prophet, saying, 4 “Is it time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, and this temple to lie in ruins?” 5 Now therefore, thus says the LORD of hosts: “Consider your ways!
6 “ You have sown much, and bring in little;
You eat, but do not have enough;
You drink, but you are not filled with drink;
You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm;
And he who earns wages,
Earns wages to put into a bag with holes.”
7 Thus says the LORD of hosts: “Consider your ways! Haggai 1:3-7a
The portion of scripture found earlier in Haggai is something every believer should consider. The question the Lord had in verse 4 is one major key. Is it time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, and this temple in ruins?
Today there are churches all over the world and especially in the United States that are just barely hanging on because the leadership and the people have chosen to focus more on their own interests rather than the interests of the household of faith. But that's not the real issue.
We see in verse 6 that not a lot of good was happening among the God's people because their attention to God's house was secondary. Now this might sound a little harsh but God does want all of His children to give His house priority. In a day where many believers are challenged some might think God would give us some slack. But we have to remember we are His children on His mission.
So is God overly concerned that we be concerned about "a building?" In Haggai's time the representation of God was more closely associated with the location of where His presence was found. Today we know His presence is found in us. To answer the question, buildings where we worship God in a general assembly serve well in the accommodation of groups too large for homes.
Our aim should be to see the people within our sphere of influence come to know Jesus in an intimate and personal way. The temple we talk about today has more to do with us. We are the temple of the Holy Spirit. The question today is, are we allowing the temple of the Holy Spirit to be used for our own pleasure more than for God's purpose? This is a serious question.
More to come...

21 Days of United Prayer Has Concluded But...
Hello again CentrePoint Family,
Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!
Although our 21 Days of United Prayer is concluded as of Saturday @ midnight, we by no means are finished praying. This last 21 days has been a great opportunity to become consistent regarding praying for one another.
The days ahead will be a good time to refer to the Lord's prayer on a daily basis just like we've been doing during the last 21 days. The model the Lord gave His disciples is certainly one we should all emulate.
Since our time of prayer has concluded, it would be nice to hear what the Lord has been doing in your lives as you have been being prayed for and praying for others. There is bound to be several testimonies of the Lord's goodness during the last 21 days. I do look forward to hearing what the Lord has been up to in your lives.
If you want a peek at what the Lord is showing me, take some time to review:
2 Chronicles 7:14
If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
It is my intention to take some time during our session of prayer on Sundays to reveal some insights on this passage regarding prayer over the next few weeks. I have found that in meditating on the word in small increments, it brings new life to what I thought I already understood. So take some time and review 2 Chronicles 7:14 in bite size pieces during personal reading time.
In the mean time please keep praying for our church family. In closing I have also listed some areas you will want to bring before the Father.
Ministry Concerns
*Fun fellowship opportunities for our church family
*New leadership to help with new plans for CentrePoint
*Ministry ideas to best serve our existing church family in every category from babies to senior adults
*Ministry ideas to best serve our personal communities and the community surrounding CentrePoint
The future of CentrePoint will be birthed in prayer. It is our aim to pursue what the Lord is saying to CentrePoint in this season and only what He is saying. That's why it's important that we all pray. God is no respecter of persons and He could very well desire to use you to help develop the plans we need to see a prosperous future.
It takes all of us doing our parts. No matter what you think of your role, you are important to our body. We really need you.
Stay blessed,
Pastor Cedric

Pray Plan Pursue Prosper
Hello again CentrePoint Family,
As we have been praying, now we've come to the time of planning. Before we can pursue anything as a congregation, we have to have the will of God and plan accordingly. Our time in prayer has given us the will of God. That's why we pray "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven."
I've put the video below together after today's gathering in church. Please know I understand how difficult it is for some of you. Doing things differently is always a challenge in the beginning. But if we expect different results we have to take different actions.
I am pretty excited about the new direction the Lord is leading CentrePoint. With prayer as the catalyst of everything we will pursue for our future, we're in a good place. Our plans will be ironclad. Our pursuit will not be in vain. Our degree of prosperity will be divinely inspired.
This is more than just a minor adjustment in CentrePoint. This is a total stripping away of what we used to be to become what God has always intended for us to be. This season will require our complete willingness to change to see the will of God accomplished in our midst. It's one of those times where nothing should surprise us. It might mean that people you don't expect to lead will lead and people you expect to be on board not be on board. It's just that kind of season.
As I lead during this season the Lord has instructed me to lead with an open hand. That is to say don't hold onto anything too tightly and keep my hands open so He can put what He wants to put in my hands. I feel as though my trust in the Lord during this season is way beyond any point in the history of my life in ministry at CentrePoint.
For so many years we have all longed to prosper in the things of God. I'm not saying that we haven't prayed, planned and pursued the will of God in the past. I just believe that the fervency of our prayer today has put us in a zone to see the absolute will of God and nothing less. Normally I would would be asking who's with us. I would be looking to garner your commitment. But today my heart is at peace because "I am assured that God is with us and the whole world could stand against us and it wouldn't make a difference."

Forgive Us Our Debts...
Hello CentrePoint Family,
It's so good to see you're getting a hold of the serious nature of our time in prayer. The Lord never ceases to amaze me when it comes to our time in prayer. The testimonies I'm hearing are letting me know we are on the right track.
For those of you who remember Pastor Joe and Carmen Olvera, it was sure nice to see them. Just the fact that he came and was able to confirm our season of prayer is definitely of the Lord, was a genuine joy. I had a chance to speak with him after our prayer and he mentioned "vehemently" that the Lord has spent the last 4 years bringing him and his ministry to a position of totally depending upon Him. I believe we are in that same spot. We will depend on Him or we will depend on ourselves. I would much rather depend on Him.
Every week I have been compelled to document what the Lord is saying to us in prayer. This week is no different. This past Sunday I believe I heard the Lord saying that, "it is time to rid negative influences in our lives." That could be people we work with, live around and even people we allow in our lives from time to time who bring nothing but trouble. It's time to let them go and love them from afar.
So here's where we are today:
1.) We need to connect as a family
2.) We need to take time to have fun
3.) We need get what we want from God on our own.
4.) Rid the negative influences in our lives.
Stay blessed,
