Not Bitter But Better

It has been sometime since I have communicated to our readers, but let me assure you that I plan on getting better in sharing what God is doing in my life. Between my ministry, family and work they have me running 24/7, however, I count it all joy when I think about what the Lord is doing through me. I am so focus with VCC that I do not allow negativity around me instead I am surrounded with positive, constructive and productive people.

My new leadership is the epitome of what it means to be a leader, their commitment to our vision surpasses anything I ever seen. They just do not only talk it, they demonstrate the vision, mission and values of our church. They have designed a church model which is so awesome. The new members of our ministry love the model. They are life changers with a call to equip, empower and edify. I watch them connect, cultivate and care for people that are hurting, hopeless and homeless. I love them for they are truly real and great leaders.

We have incorporated new ministries, and one that I am very excited about is our dance ministry, Worshippers In Motion, they are absolutely anointed and powerful. Their style of ministry is so unique; they reach beyond the heart into the souls of the people. This ministry will be the catalyst for VCC, as we prepare to minister through the arts. We are preparing for a worship arts workshop with various ministries, this is going to be exciting.

In the past, one could say that VCC had such a fabricated, fake and false worship experience through various leaders who were non-effective because of whatever reason. But now we encounter such powerful worship through leaders who are authentic and do not have agendas. Our teachers have such an anointing and they bring the Word in every aspect of their gift. God finally released me to allow our leaders to take the reins and allow them to be used to help me lift this ministry to the next level. I often wonder why God would not release me in the past and allow certain people access to this authority, now I know exactly His plan for VCC. We are very humbled by everything God has done for VCC, even to the point exposing people that attempted to destroy our church.

The enemy has tried to deter, destruct and even destroy our ministry. It's not a secret about how I had to face oppositions because of fabrication, deception and deceit. I take the stones that people throw and use them for the vision that God has shown me for my life and ministry. I call this my Joseph experience. It's great when God will take your setback for a setup.

Forever God is Faithful; Forever God is Strong

Testimony of Evangelist Jones

Dear Pastor Willis;

Thank you for being obedient to God. The Leaders Workshop was for such a time as this. The musicians ushered us into a dynamic worship experience where each of us worshiped God in our own way. The guest saxophonist Brother Andre Cavor was one of the most gifted saxophonists I have ever heard.

And the guest speaker Pastor Michael Exum, Executive Director of The Potter’s House International Pastoral Alliance (PHIPA), blessed me beyond words. I thank God for his testimony on his calling over his life. As a woman minister I have had unpleasant experiences trying to do God will. Oftentimes, unpleasant experiences will make you second guess the call over your life. But God knows what you need when you need it. I know that God loves me and I will continue to press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

The Leaders workshop was one of the most powerful workshops I’ve experienced in years, so I was well over due. Pastor Exum confirmed some things that I had been wrestling with for a while. And the way he explained the five-fold ministry, we know it was discerned from God. Pastor Exum walked us thru, around, over and under Ephesians 4:11-16. Thank God you have CD’s of this workshop because I am sure, Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers will befit from this powerful teaching.

Pastor Willis, I know that God is smiling down on you saying well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things. I am so thankful to God for him planning our holy hookup you are appreciated for all you do in the building up of God’s Kingdom.

Much Love,
Evangelist Martha Jones

The Best Is Yet To Come

One of the greatest words I have every received was from a Pastor who once said, To have growth you must be willing to allow God to some things before He will add. Little did I know the impact of these words until I witness the power of God in my life and ministry. In other words God is always working things out for my good and he knows the thoughts and plans He has for me. God will take those who can face the tough times in life (divorce, abuse, financial, marriages, children, etc) and use you for His glory. Never complain about what is happening in your life, praise Him for using you to show you off in your circumstances. Opposition is an opportunity to take you to another level in God, it is the best season of your life, it is chance to show no matter what you face you trust in the provisions and power of God.

When God removes things, people, etc from your life, trust me when I tell you it for a greater plan and purpose. You do not have sit and wonder, speculate or even question why this is happening, all you have to do is begin to have praise and worship on your lips. For someone who is experiencing a season of transition please let me share with you the best is yet to come, matter of fact your breakthrough is right around the corner. You must decree, declare and shout unto your Lord with a voice of triumph your days ahead are the best. Confess you are healed, delivered, set-free in the Name of Jesus. In my next blog title, A Reason For The Season, I will share with you a blessing from God.

A Transformational Life

We often forget the power of Gods divine authority over our life, as we are delivered from the sin that so easily traps and trips us up from time to time. There is a process called transformation that occurs when we allow God to process us for change in our life. One of the most difficult obstacles to overcome is totally surrendering to God, while many will have you to believe that are living a life of total surrender, it still amazes me how many talk about surrendering but cannot fully give themselves to a God of mercy and grace.

When we give ourselves to Him we become a candidate for transformation to take place in our life. There are things that we need to get rid of that has been holding us from moving forward, there are people who we have allowed to speak negativity, destructive and harmful words into our spirit. But the word of God speaks healing, deliverance and peace to our souls. Through Gods transformation process we learn to depend more upon Him than ourselves. He takes us to a place that we have never experience in our walk with Him and reveals a revelation of his good pleasure.

As we approach the Resurrection Celebration of our Lord and Savior, we must awaken to the fact we can transform our lives. When we execute the power of awesome God, we will overcome any circumstances, issues or problems through His divine love.

Kingdom Authority

God has placed some awesome people in my ministry. I will share that if you are going to do significant things for God, you will have to cut ties with things, places and people. Bishop Jakes once said “sometimes you will need to change your circle of people”. This is a very profound and true statement. It’s not meant to demean anyone but there are times when people can only help you within the parameters of their ability. Success is not measured within a materialistic view, you can have all the degrees, money and fame but those "things" cannot buy you peace, happiness and joy.

The word of God teaches us to “seek the Kingdom of God first and His righteousness and everything will be added unto you”. This is a promise from God that when you put Him first in everything you do, he will add to you. This is a powerful guarantee to walk into your destiny and purpose. When is the last time you used your Kingdom Authority? I mean really walked into your situation, circumstance or issue and called the enemy out. Until you begin to understand the precepts of God and execute your authority over your life, you will always be where you are in life.

Once again, I challenge you to get up from where you are in life because you have so much to do and little time to do it. But remember you can do “all things in Christ” who will strengthen you. Claim your victory over your sickness, finances, family, job, etc. and begin to see the power of God work in your life!

The Best in Me

The other day I was in the Christian bookstore browsing around and discovered Pastor Marvin Sapp’s new CD. With great anticipation I immediately broke open the cover and inserted the CD and begin listening to each song, normally it takes 2-3 times before a song really grabs my attention. But when I came to track 9 and began to listen to the words of Pastor Sapp, an emotion came over me like never before. I began to replay in my mind how many times I have made wrong decisions in life. How people have criticized, passed judgment, condemned and even attacked other people. How people will try to build themselves by tearing others down, how they have spread vicious rumors to bring hurt, harm and damage to the emotions of others. I know there are times when we feel like failures, feel like giving up, throwing in the towel, getting out of the race, just plain quitting, but that’s when you need to repeat the words of Pastor Sapp:

"He saw the best in me, when everyone else around me, only saw the worst in me. He’s mine, and I’m His, it doesn’t matter what I did, He only sees me for who I am"

When I discover that no matter what I’ve done in my life, God sees something in me. God sees something in you that no one has yet to see, the best of you has not come out of you and God wants you to know he is ready to bring you out of the chains, shackles, and the restraints that are keeping you in bondage. The enemy doesn’t want us to share our stories because this is when you gain your breakthrough, your deliverance, being set free by the power of Jesus Christ. Realize we are more than conquerors, realize that we are not defeated but victorious, and claim your victory in Jesus name. Let the best come out of you and begin to walk in your destiny, and watch God move in your life like never before. God sees the best in us and he is calling us to come forward to bring glory to his name! I challenge you to make that move, you’ll be glad you did!
