Once again God moved in our presence this morning. I know that He is REVIVING FWC. We saw love in action today as he delivered some from addictions and set free the the chains of bondage in others. I was amazed as God moved and souls were saved today. Our fast is not even half way over and we are seeing miracles take place.
I visited Sharon Johnson tonight, and she was beaming with JOY as she walked to the door. Her knee is completely healed and she is giving God the glory. She said that she knows that God healed her and He can heal others as well. I believe that we have just begun to see His great works.
As we continue to pray, fast and give of our time, talents and treasures we must expect what he has promised that we will do ALL things through Christ who gives us strength! Philippians 4:13

Wow what an amazing day, once again God touched our service!
Today I spoke on Revival and how we need it! As we seek Gods presence I know
that we must have an individual revival, it is up to each one of us to ask
God to revive us. I believe that we can have the type of revival that can
last for generations,the type of revival that will change lives forever, the
type of revival that will never end, the type of revival that we can get
back what the enemy has taken from us! In my sermon today I said something
that was not in my notes but I feel that we need to hear. "we need to not go
into the enemies camp and take back what he stole from us but have the type
of revival were we tell the enemy to bring back what he stole from me"
because greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. Therefore
I speak with the authority of the Great One, Jesus, and say to the enemy
"bring back our joy, bring back our peace, bring back our first Love" and
God... Revive us like never before!!!!!!!

It is so encouraging to have a prayer meeting on a Sunday night at FWC, and have 24 people attend; Now that is the kind of thing that is going to change peoples lives! People are getting serious about praying, fasting, and giving of our time, talents, and treasure.
This is going to be the year that we reach out to Franklin Ohio like never before. It's going to be a year where new ministries will be fulfilled. We know that God will bless this amazing country because of people praying for all those who God allowed to serve this country. God's favor will be poured out to His people. There will be friends and family saved! We will have revival in our community!! We will see the harvest as a result of seed planted in our past by wonderful people who came to FWC before us. We will grow spiritually in Christ. We will see miraculous healings take place. We will be blessed financially because we give with a cheerful and thankful heart!
We know God is going to do "exceedingly and abundantly above all that we can ask or think" through those of us at FWC! Today- and from this day forward, we pray these things with a spirit of expectation! God's word will not return void!
Be blessed and encouraged FWC!

A Word From Pastor Chris
I am so excited about this year's fast! We have done 40 days of prayer and fasting for several years and God has done some amazing things as a result of our willingness to set aside the things that our body desires and get in touch with what God desires for us.
This year will be no different-- as we've done in the past we are calling our church to a Daniel fast. On our website is an excellent description of this, also we have learned a lot about fasting from a book call FASTING, by Jentezen Franklin. It is a must read for all of us who want to have a deeper understanding of fasting .
In years past we have prayed and fasted, but this year we want to go to another level and put the final cord of the THREE CORD blessing into effect. Solomon tells us in Ecclesiastes 4:12, "that a THREE CORD rope is not easily broken", and I believe that this year we are going to have a THREE CORD blessing. The type of blessing that will not be easily broken...the type of blessing that will impact our world. The First cord is PRAYER the Second cord is FASTING and the Third cord is GIVING OF OURSELVES in Talent, Time and Finances!
This year is going to be a Three Cord Blessing Year, strong and not easily broken!
I am expecting God to pour out His blessing like never before. The people of FWC will be changed forever...the people of Franklin, of Warren county, of Ohio, of this great USA and of this world will be changed forever.
It's time for that Three Cord Blessing!
IT'S TIME!
