The Lord’s Harvest Community Church

I invite you to watch the International Conference of the Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship, Thursday (June 26, 2008) and Friday (June 27, 2008) on The Word Network. The broadcast will start at 8pm central standard time. If you do not receive The Word Network in your area you can view it online at the website of The Word Network.

If I am not mistaken our own International Presiding Bishop Paul S. Morton Sr. will be preaching Thursday and Bishop Niel Jones on Friday. For those who did not already know, The Lord’s Harvest Community Church is affiliated with the Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship International, located in the South Central District of Oklahoma State.

I would love to hear some feedback if you watch the broadcast.

I am amazed by how people think or believe that things just happen naturally, without any foundational work, just all of a sudden “POOF!!!” God has called me to do this amazing work of starting a new church, and although I knew it would not be easy, I think I under-estimated that fact.

Many of times I look out into the audience and wonder if ALL the energy we are exerting is making a difference in somebody’s life? We don’t see what is going on in the minds and thoughts of other people, and I wonder am I making it clear. One of the struggles of being a pastor, is knowing you are succeeding in your calling, and you current assignment. Last weekend was a spark I needed to press on……… I am reminded of another lesson from the Water Boy,

You Can Do It!!

And for you super-religious folks Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

This week end was just awesome!!! Father’s Day we were able to bless someone with $50!! Also, if you are a dad send me an e-mail or message with your mailing address and I will send you a free 31 Day devotional.

I did not get much of a chance last week to blog about our 1 Year Celebration, but it was off the hook, and truly a blessing to me. Elder Caldwell from the Church of the Living God in Spencer, OK was our speaker for the regular Saturday service and the title of his message was “Faint Not and Do Good.” Taken from Galatians 6: 6-10,

6 Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches.
7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. 9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.

I’ll have to post that one online later this week.

Then on last Sunday Rev L.D. Hooks of Mt. Moriah Missionary Baptist Church of Bethany, OK preached from the title, “The Gospel According to the Ant.” Taken from Proverbs 6:6-10,

6 Go to the ant, you sluggard!
Consider her ways and be wise,
7 Which, having no captain,
Overseer or ruler,
8 Provides her supplies in the summer,
And gathers her food in the harvest.
9 How long will you slumber, O sluggard?
When will you rise from your sleep?

He examined what we can and should learn from the ant about working for Jesus Christ.

This past Saturday I started a new series call “A Mighty Warrior” and whether you a male of female it is for you!!! (I’ll post this later this week also….)

There is a short 5 min audio with this post, please take the time out and listen to it.

Recently, I was placed on blood pressure meds. I dislike very much taking ANY medication, even Tylenol for headaches. However, if I lose some (much) weight, I may not have to take anything. So, this has forced me to examine and apply some life-style changes, which I will talk about at another time.

Following inline with part of the vision of The Lord’s Harvest Community Church to become a holistic ministry, I invite you to connect with us on a different level. Recently I sign-up for an account on OKC Million’s website to begin tracking my weight loss. Earlier this week I was given a group code number so you too can can become a part of this part of my life. The group number is ???????? ????? ????????LHCC08, and thats zero, eight - use this code when you sign-up.

Blessings,

I was thinking tonight and preparing for Father’s Day. I decided I wanted to do something special for fathers from The Lord’s Harvest Community Church. On Mother’s Day everyone who showed up was invited to go to Olive Garden with us. Although, I don’t think we are going to do the same for Father’s Day, I still wanted to do something special. Not sure what we are going to do, but a special package is my current thought.

SOOOOO, here the deal.

I am looking to bless at least 5 men for Father’s Day. To submit someone for this blessing they must meet the following criteria.

1. They MUST be a father.
2. They must live in the Oklahoma City Metro area.

Send me an e-mail with the following information.

If you are a father you are free to submit yourself. I MUST receive all entries in my e-mail (info @ thelordsharvest.org or HarvestOKC @ yahoo.com) by 3pm June 9, 2008.

Expanding the Kingdom,
Pastor Juan
