God loves us so much. The sins of this world have lead us to places we should not be going, doing things we should not be doing, and encouraging us to say things we should not be saying. But God’s love is so great that no matter what the sin, He sent His son to die for us so that we can be forgiven and made whole. Someone had to pay the price; blood had to be given as a sacrifice. “ God’s love God sent Jesus, the only sinless one, to be the payment for our sins. He did this by giving His life as a ransom for our sins. is so great... “ I would like to take a few moments to share with you about your Father’s heart toward you. Yes, I am referring to your Heavenly Father. continued inside. BIBLE STUDY WELCOME GUESTS It is with great honor that we welcome all of you to fellowship and worship with us today.

CORPORATE PRAYER FAITHFUL FATHERS Father God, You are the LORD and there is none else, there is no God beside You. We praise and thank You for Your great love and grace. Because the fathers in the Body of Christ trust and delight in You, we decree that they have the desires of their hearts. They always cast their cares on You and know that no weapon formed against them shall prosper. We declare that the glory of children is their fathers. Fathers receive and obey instructions from the word of God and the man of God. They recognize their position as leader and priest in the home and serve as role models for their children. We decree that fathers have great love for their families and manifest the love of God to the world. We thank you for loving, faithful fathers. In Jesus’ name. AMEN!!! Scriptures to read: Isaiah 45:5, Proverbs 17:6 and Psalm 37:3-5 = FAITH CONFESSION over my finances Father in Jesus’ name, I thank You that I am anointed to prosper. My eyes are open to see creative ways to increase financially; my ears are open to hear the best deals, and my heart is pure so that You can channel finances through me. I am on the path of perpetual increase, as I enter into my wealthy place. Wealth and riches are in my house. I declare I am the righteousness of God. I have sown my seed for supernatural abundance and I live in a daily expectation of increase. Money comes to me; my nature attracts money. The fear of lack has been broken and has no power over me. I hear my Father’s voice. The voice of intimidation and limitation I choose not to follow. I am free from debt; I am the lender and not the borrower. The wealth of the wicked is being transferred to me and I commit to establish the Kingdom of God in the earth. I am ready to distribute and my life is a distribution channel for God’s work in the earth. I thank You Father, that daily You are loading me with benefits. I am anointed to prosper. I am on Your mind because You want to increase me more and more. Abundance is Your will for me because it pleases You when I prosper. I call increase, abundance, prosperity and realized dreams to come to me NOW in Jesus’ name and I will never be broke another day in my life! Amen. VISIT THE BOOKSTORE AND FEED YOUR SPIRIT!

We have seen great fathers in this world. The story of the father who pushed, pulled, and carried his son through a triathlon is a great example. He swam 2.5 miles, cycled 125 miles through hot lava fields, and concluded by running 26.2 miles with his son. You see, the prize. he loved his handicapped son so much. His son’s dream was to be in this contest. The father’s heart was to meet that need for and with his son. No, they were not in first place or even second place, but they did finish just under the deadline. The father ran the race with the son. Their pastor certainly showed the heart of a father for these two young women as they were held prisoners in Afghanistan. He went overseas to help in any way he could. I think he was there for several weeks praying for them and trying to assist the best way he could. I was touched as I heard that story. He showed a very big heart for these two missionary women. Our Heavenly Father is running the race with us. We are all in a race. If we have asked Jesus, God’s Son, into our hearts and to forgive us our sins, then we are pressing on to win “I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus” Philippians 3:14 I also was thinking about the pastor of Dayna Curry and Heather Mercer. God’s heart is so big for us. His love is so awesome. He wants only what is best for us. Our Father in heaven has a very big heart for us. He cares, wants us to be healed, cleansed from our sins, in right relationship with Him and others around us, and on our way to heaven. He has a wonderful place for us to go. I pray that you can feel His heart of love for you today -- the heart of a true loving, gentle, and kind Father. Can God change your life? God has made it possible for you to know Him and experience an amazing change in your own life. Discover how you can find peace with God. You can also send us your prayer requests.
