A ROYAL CELEBRATION!

".....she will give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel--God with us!"
Isaiah 7:14

And, God is with us...What a joyous time of the year! We have an awesome opportunity to celebrate the birth of our King, Jesus! When I think about the relationship that we can have with Christ which is wonderful, endearing and intimate. It is my prayer that you and your family will take some quality time to worship the Lord together. Keep Him where He belongs, because, "Jesus is the reason for the season." Without the Savior's birth, there would be no Christmas. I love this time of year because I love to celebrate in Royal grandeur. Christ Jesus, my Lord deserves the biggest, brightest most excellent celebration of all time or seasons.

From our ministry and our home it is our wish and prayer that this Christmas will be a blessed and special time for you and your family. God Bless!!

ALMOST HERE!!!!!

Dear Friends,

It's almost here..... just 4 more days and we will enter the Experiencing Revival Crusade. It is going to be a very important crusade. Not only do many of us just want to come and bask in God's awesome presence, but we need to stay focused that this is going to be a critical time for many needing deliverance. There are so many people who are so bound......not to mention that they have lost their identity. Life is filled with demands and responsibilities. We are "expected" to be a certain way, when for most that means...."performing!" We find ourselves just "going through the motions!" "God forbid that anyone really sees the REAL ME!!! I am not the person that others think I am......I have learned to be a great actress........I know how to be what is expected of me...I don the mask and play the role........BUT INSIDE I AM DYING!!!!!! OH HOW I WISH I KNEW WHO I REALLY AM!!" Only behind closed doors in the privacy of their own rooms can they take off the mask and be themselves. We have so many people who fit this mold. Please help me pray that God's delivering power will fill every area of the house. Help me pray that not one person will leave the way they come!!!!!

"MASQUERADE, UNVEIL ME COMPLETELY!!" I BELIEVE THAT MASK IS COMING OFF!

In Christ,
Dr. Shelia

"IT WILL SURELY COME!"

Greetings Friends,

Well, it won't be long now....it is amazing how fast time passes. Can't believe that October is right around the corner and of course the CRUSADE is not far behind. I love this time of year....all the labor that has been done throughout the year finally brings us "Harvest Time!" I believe that we are about to see God do some extraordinary things for us. I was reminded just this week to pull up from the depths of my spirit those things that I long to see. I have to admit the enemy has "shut my mouth" regarding my dreams and desires. But, I realized through the words of a dear and close friend that I needed to begin speaking out those things once again. "Death and life is in the power of our tongue." I do believe that we must speak out the plans that God has for us. Whatever is in our spirit that won't die out is the pathway to our destiny. I know He hasn't brought me this far to say, " Never mind Shelia, I changed my mind." God has our destiny carefully protected against the enemy, and anything or anyone that would try to kill or defeat our journey. I know there have been many times that I felt like, "God, what is wrong with me, why do I meet people that I think will play a part in my future, only to be forgotten by them?" But God, reminds me that they were not a part of His plan for me......so I patiently wait on Him. He is our guide, mentor and Father. I know He is up to something. So keep dreaming, speaking and expecting because when you least expect it....IT WILL SURELY COME!!

Love to you all,
Dr. S

A NOTE FROM DR. SHELIA

Dear Friends,

Greetings in Jesus' Name! I hope you all are doing well and enjoying the summer. Can someone tell me where the summer months are going so quickly! Guess it doesn't matter much, I have been extremely busy. We are five weeks in at our new church facility. It is absolutely beautiful. It is just a building, a tool to win more lost and see lives changed and restored, but God graced us with such a wonderful building. Our dedication service will be held on Sunday, September 13, 2009. Can't wait to give it back to the Lord. Our desire and prayer is that people that come will feel the presence of the Lord getting out of their vehicles and then walk into the very face of God. Most of all, we desire revival to fall upon us, that the spirit of the Lord will be extremely mighty. I want to see people flock to the church because they know it won't be church as usual. That the Lord's presence will surround them and they will be able to worship in their own way. I hope that if you are ever close to us that you will come and worship with us. White Oak Worship...the church that makes you say....WOW!

A NOTE FROM DR. SHELIA

Greetings,

I hope you all are doing well. I couldn't believe that April was my last entry, time flies by much too quickly. Did you know already we are half way through 2009? If you need to get some things done, you better go ahead and do them, because 2010 will be arriving soon. Of course this means that October is just around the corner and I've got to tell you, I am getting really excited about our up-coming crusade. I really do believe that God is setting us up for a powerful and potent move of His Spirit. RIGHT NOW is a great time to begin making plans to attend this special time in revival. The Lord has already spoken to my spirit and told me this was to be a "Deliverance Crusade!" I realize that we are living in a time when many people are in need of some kind of deliverance. Many unsolved issues, baggage and just plain "junk!" Folks need to be free. We have already begun prayer for all of you that God will do a mighty work in you throughout these meetings. Click on the CRUSADE LINK to get the information. Make up your mind that this is one crusade that you are not going to miss. It will be at our brand new church, White Oak Worship Center. It will be exciting to worship with our own church family along with our many out of town friends and pastors. So, save the date, OCTOBER 29-31,2009. See you then.

God Bless,
Dr. Shelia

FROM DR. SHELIA'S LAP TOP!

I was thinking, now that is dangerous! Today is a "perfect" day, weather wise. Sunny, in the 80's, a slight breeze and just enough to really mess up your hair. I was thinking, it sure is amazing how a day like this gives me more energy, a feeling of uplift and believe it or not, I want to get out and exercise!! Yesterday, it was extremely windy and cold. Then, a few days ago it seemed like everyday it was raining. I had the "blah's!! You know, we want everyday to be just like this one. But what would our environment look like without the rain? It's the same with our walk with the Lord. We want everything to go smoothly without difficultly. But, guess what my friends.........."life happens!!" I must admit, it's so much easier when the blessings just come flowing in and it seems that for a moment you can relax and let your guard down......but, "DON'T DO IT!".......That's just what the enemy is waiting for you to do. Yes, we have to go through things, but I can promise you that when you come through to the other side we will have learned some things. I Peter 5:8, tells us to be sober and alert because the devil is out to get us. No matter how great things are going for you, don't let down your guard. Even on this beautiful sunny day, I know it will soon end and the rain will return. It is the law of nature and the law of God for my life. SO enjoy those easy days, but just remember the hard ones will come, but Jesus will be right there with you. GOD BLESS! Dr. S

EASTER CELEBRATION

Greetings Friends,
It's a wonderful time of the year! The weather is warming, flowers are blooming and birds are singing the praises of the Lord. I love the Easter Season, however; for the Christian we celebrate everyday the sacrifice that the Lord Jesus Christ made for all of us. My pastor made a statement last evening that really struck my spirit. He said, "It's one thing to call Jesus Savior and another thing to call Him Lord!" What he means is that, it's one thing to know who Jesus is, but another thing to have Him be your Lord. Only if you have received Him as your personal Savior can He ever be your Lord. I pray that this season will draw you closer as you reflect on what God has done for you. We are a blessed people even in the midst of a recession. God is our provision and He cares about us. I pray that you and your family have a very blessed Easter.

Dr. Shelia
