God Loves You

Dear John, God loves you!   How often have we heard that?  For most people, it has lost its meaning. A lack of understanding of the Love of God causes problems from theological error to personal depression.  Revelation of the Love of God is necessary for faith to be effective.   Eph 3:14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height--19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. (emphasis added) So much in this passage! CHRISTIANS NEED THE LOVE OF GOD Paul was praying for Christians to know the love of God.  You would think they already knew it.  But, they obviously did not.  Christians live like God only loves sinners.  We need a new and growing revelation of the Love of God.  ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN THE LOVE OF GOD Revelation of the Love of God becomes THE source of strength for the Christian. The strength of tree during a storm is directed related to how rooted it is in the ground around it.  We are very much the same.  A person who is not "rooted and grounded in love" has no strength during the storms that come.   COMPREHEND - WIDTH, LENGTH, DEPTH, HEIGHT We need to study the love of God.  Pray for revelation, look at in the scriptures, mediate on the Love of God.  No matter how big or vast you think the Love of God is; trust me its is so much more.   KNOW... WHICH PASSES KNOWLEDGE This is know something in your heart, not just your head.  It happens all the time, people act on information, but its not revelation.  Therefore it is not effective.  Information (head knowledge) is important and comes as a result of gathering (reading, listening, etc.)  Revelation is the next step.  It comes as a result of the Holy Spirit.  Pray, as Paul did for the Ephesians, that the revelation of the Love of God comes in your life.  FULLNESS OF GOD COMES FROM THE LOVE OF GOD God does NOT just love, He IS Love.  The more we "know" the Love of God the more God, Who is Love, fills our life.  Imagine being filled with God.  You can, to the level you "know" the Love of God.  You will not be filled with God beyond your "knowledge" of the Love of God. Sunday February 12, we are bringing a message called "Lying Ugly - Miracle of Marriage".     This will be a powerful message of restoration.  Every marriage and relationship can be restored.  This is NOT just for married folks either.  This is a picture of how our lives can be restored by the Power & Love of God.   We love you very much.    Sincerely, John Carmichael Evangel North Church text ENC to 292929 to receive periodic updated and encouragement from Evangel North Church    PayPal securely processes donations for Evangel North Church.

Lying Ugly... The Miracle of Marriage

Happy Early Valentine's Day from Evangel North Church! Dear John, Wow.  We are having a marvelous year, and the best is yet to come.   Miracles are rampant - here are a few: 1.  12yr old healed of a brain tumor 2.  A lady had stones (seen by x-ray) removed supernaturally 3.  A lady healed of brain clots 4.  A man's heart healed, after two years of heart failure 5.  A man on fixed income gets surprise increase  6.  A marriage healed after being ready for divorce 7.  A lady has hearing restored 8.  Many have made commitments to the Lord   ... the list goes on and on, Thank You, Jesus! The church is getting more hungry for wisdom and revelation.  The manifestation of His Presence is getting stronger.     We are looking forward to several sermon series this year:   1.  March - The Power of the Word Seed - based on the parable of the sower.  Why does the Word seem to work for some and not others?  Why do we believe the Bible is the Word of God?  Does the Word work at 100% all the time?     2.  April - Days of Prosperity - the Bible has much to say about finances.  How to believe for it? What do to do with it?  How to manage it? What are the dangers surrounding money?     3.  May - The Reality of the Holy Spirit - What are the fruit?  What are the gifts?  What is the Baptism in the Holy Spirit?  What does the Bible say about speaking in tongues.     Plans are already in the work for Easter and how to reach out this year like never before.   This is going to be an amazing year!  We at Evangel North Church love you, John Carmichael Pastor, Evangel North Church P.S.  We will be receiving NEW PARTNERS -March 4 during the service, afterward there will be a Graces & Places Bring-A-Dish lunch.  Get your NEW PARTNER packet by seeing Sister Debbie Shaut.  There is an application and several CDs you will need to listen to before that date.     Evangel North Church 1430 Cedar Street Clarksville, Indiana 47129 UPCOMING HAPPENINGS:    - Healing Rooms - Every Thursday 6-8PM & Saturday 10AM-12PM  - "Lying Ugly - Miracle Marriage" - Sun.
