“Choose to keep on Living” Scripture 2 Kings 6:8-24 2 Kings 7:1-11 Apostle continued on the subject “Beware of False Prophecy”, Choose to keep on living.” If we are listening to the Holy Spirit, he told us circumstances were coming, but that he would have us outflank our enemy. We must make a choice to live. There is a difference in surviving and living, because surviving is not thriving. God intended for his people to live through situations and the increase will come out.  Apostle said he prays that God gives us spiritual sight, and that he reveals the solution that has always been there. We can talk to God no matter what the situation is, and he listens. It is costly to get God to start listening, but when he does, he reveals his will for the situation. We just need to make sure we listen to his will as he communicates it to us. All the people Satan is using to do bad stuff to us; let us listen to the spirit and get them saved. God is sitting on the throne, walk before him and be perfect and he will lead them where they don’t want to be. All the resources they had to kill Elisha, but God had other plans.
God tells us if our enemy is hungry, feed him and if they are thirsty give them something to drink. God wants us to display his righteousness and unending love. By loving kindness the Lord drew us to himself, and by loving kindness we will draw those against us. Everything that is done against you God can turn it around for your good. Allow the love of God to work through you. Choose To Keep On Living Scriptures: 2 Kings 6:8-18 Apostle Lewis Fisher Jr told the congregation that in Genesis 1 we can find out where God’s heart is. God’s desire has always been to have man just like him. Apostle told us that we must guard our ear gate about what we hear about ourselves. God gave man dominion and we are still asking God to do something in the earth. Apostle asked the congregation to not stop living. Don’t give up on being who God has called you to be. We are to keep going forward, even if it doesn’t look like there is a reason that we should be going forward. Apostle asked, what have we decreed about ourselves?  Apostle continued to talk about “Choose to Keep Living’” We have to trust in the Lord with all our hearts. When we begin to know who we are in Christ, we talk less, and decree more. God is raising up true Apostles and Prophets in this hour. We need God to speak into our spirit what he wants for us now. God is raising men and women that will walk, talk, and act just like him. Apostle told us to “Beware of False Prophecy.”
Every time the enemy comes up with a strategy against you, God will do a download and cause his servant to speak so that we are aware of where he is. The King of Syria thought they had a traitor in the camp because Israel seemed to be aware of every plan they made, and outflanked them. Why? God had already warned his servant. If we would just hear the voice of God speaking today, every time the enemy would try to outthink us, God would have us to know it, and move us out of harm's way. That’s the God we serve. He never sleeps nor slumbers. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12: 13-14 For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many. Guest Speakers: Friday Night: Pastor Alicia Hill New Dixon Worship Center, Jacksonville, NC Saturday Morning: Pastor Lena Murrell Great Joy Worship Center, Beaufort, NC Apostle Delores Bailey House of Prayer Outreach Ministry, Raleigh, NC The women in attendance were excited about the Word of God that was shared by three powerful Women of God. Each speaker’s theme centered around the power of Praise. The speakers asked questions such as, “What do you need from the Lord?, Why are you down in the dump dear soul?” They each confirmed that praise is for our benefit. Praise is our weapon of mass destruction.  . So wake up, creation is waiting for us to wake up in victory. If God be for us who can be against us. God will supply unto us, and we need to make the demand. We have to have faith to believe that God will supply our every need. After we have been taught the word of God, then put a demand on the power of the word. We pray, believe you have received and it will be given unto you. Pray to God who is our doctor, he has given us the prescription, all we have to do is follow his word. One speaker used the theme song from “The Lion’s King.” It was “Hakuna Matata” which means no worries and no cares. We were left with this thought, “Arise women for the glory of God has risen upon us.”
Apostle wanted to reinforce some things for us. God knows that we are going through and being challenged in our lives. But for every problem there has been made a solution. During our storms there is a word from the Lord that will sustain us. His grace is enough to take us through it. We need to stop running away from our storms. It is the nature of lives to have storms. But we must be serious in our lives in what we want to do with God. We must make sure that any plan we make is built on truth. Apostle emphasized, “How many of us can admit that we are facing our own trials right now? God said, everything was written is for our learning. When you are going through family trials, don’t stop living. While we are going through keep living. As we are going through different things we get to a point we don’t want to be bothered by anyone. But, we must keep living.  If a storm is coming our way, God has planned that storm to increase us. No storm was meant to diminish us, but to grow us. We need to follow suit in what God is speaking now and that is to not stop living. People will shut themselves down, but we can’t stop living. This means to continue living before God. Like Noah, grab some stones and build an altar of praise before God.
Give him praise so the enemy won’t know if you are affected or not, because you continually give God praise. What God did promise that when you cry, he will be there. There is only one Gospel and there is no where in this gospel that says you will not have trials or not have another rainy day. There is safety in the word of God. We have the authority to move God’s heart. When our cry reaches heaven, he moves on our behalf. Just keep on living. Apostle Lewis Fisher, Jr opened with the topic “Beware of False Prophecy”. Apostle made it plain by saying false prophecy is somebody telling you something God didn’t say. God said he has already said everything he is going to say and sealed it in the book. Beware of those who speak what is not written. God is going to speak what He has already spoken. Apostle asked, “Why did Jeremiah have to send a letter to those that were in Babylon?” The answer, because Hananiah spoke falsely to the people, telling them that the king of Babylon’s yoke upon them would be broken in two years. When in fact, God had already spoken about them remaining there for 70 years.  Many people will try to speak into your hearing and prophesy about what God said, try every spirit by the spirit to see if it aligns with God’s word. Many people are going through different things in life, and are anxious, making themselves prey to hear anything, because they are hoping on the wrong things.
As it was in their day, even so it is in our day. We are going through circumstances and situations, but God won’t bring us out until we have learned what we need to learn. This prophet told them not to believe what Jeremiah said. They had the assurance that God would bring them out but not until the time he had set. When we want relief from what we are going through, often, we will believe a lie, just like the people believed the lie of Hananiah. Keep in mind, when we make decisions and plans based upon a lie, then everything that is birthed from that lie is false. We must know, just like Jeremiah, that we are anchored in what God has spoken, and don’t allow anyone to add to that truth. Apostle Lewis Fisher Jr began by asking us to really listen and digest the meaning of the song “The Master’s Calling.” God is calling and we have become dull of hearing. Being dull of hearing is not something that took place over night, it happened over time as one continues to reject the truth of God’s word. As in the song, listen while we still can hear the Master Calling. As indicated by the scriptures there were ten virgins, five wise and five foolish. They all had the same desire to meet the bridegroom. They all launched to meet him. They understood that the bridegroom was coming. Each one had good intent, but the difference was found in their preparation. Apostle asked the question, “How many are committed to the journey of meeting the bridegroom? We can launch, but not be fully prepared for the journey. When you are committed, it shows up in your preparation.  All denominations are set out to meet him. How many have set out like the five foolish, without forethought? They set out without oil (word). Only the word can sustain us on this journey. The bible says, what man decides to build a house without counting the cost. Apostle asked, “Did we truly count the cost when we said I do Lord?” If we have counted the cost, it would show up in your preparation. The preparation tells everything about the level of commitment one has. If you set out on this journey, the bridegroom is coming, and there is nothing we can do to stop his coming.
Apostle asked, “How many of us prepared this morning? How many took time to pray and listen for what God had to say? Apostle asked, “Can we last through the night if the bridegroom tarries? If he does not come today or tonight, have we prepared to endure the delay.” Let us truly count the cost of what it means to be saved, and maintain our grip on the word of the Lord. May 12, 2019 Apostle Dr. Lewis Fisher Jr. elaborated on the story of Noah. After Noah, his family and animals had gotten out of the ark, the first thing he did was build God an altar. He built the altar to give God praise and worship because he kept them alive. God made a promise that he would never again curse the ground for man’s sake.  So every time a rainbow appears in the sky, the Lord is reminded of His promise. Apostle asked the question, “Did we build an altar of praise and worship to God this morning? Did we thank him for waking us up this morning, and our children waking up with us? It will cost each of us to give the Lord what he wants. It took time to build the altar of stones not made with man’s hands. Noah couldn’t build anything and offer it to God. So we must learn to build an altar acceptable to God. In good times, build an altar of praise, and when we are in a valley, we must build God an altar of praise. When we learn to build an altar the right way and offer up something good, God starts talking to himself about us. We want God to talk to himself about us. Let’s start building an altar of praise and worship to our God!
Exodus 3:10 Apostle Dr. Lewis Fisher, Jr. continued his lesson on God’s Call Part lV. God gave us a blank check this morning. We may not have the money we want or children acting like they should, but God is moving in this season. God will never call us without revealing his plan. God wants us to know what our part is in the fulfillment of his vision for the church. God wants to know can he count on us. God will do the work, he just wants us to go. In verse 10 God reveals to Moses what his purpose is. God said that he was sending Moses to Pharaoh who had his people captive. It is important for us to get with God in a quiet place and listen to him.  Then we will begin to know our purpose. God gives us gifts to release, but know that God is the one who will deliver; we are simply the vessels through which he will do it. Moses understood what his purpose was from God. Many people are going into eternity, never knowing their purpose from God. It is important for us to know our purpose and our season.

The Voice of Truth Engagement (The VOTE) to share principles from the word of the Lord; Scriptures: Exodus 3:5, 8 - Judges 7:2 - Hebrews 6:13-14 Apostle Lewis Fisher, Jr continued with God’s Call Part lll. Apostle began talking about God’s Call. He picked up with where Moses has now turned aside to see the burning bush. Moses noticed something different about the bush. It wasn’t consumed. God had finally gotten Moses attention after 40 years. As Moses got closer to the burning bush God told Moses to take off his shoes because he was on holy ground. When we answer the call of God, we must take our shoes off. We must give up our way of thinking and our way of acting. Once you draw close to God, he has something to say. God would not call you by name unless he has something for you to do. He has called us for purpose. Once God starts talking to you, he will reveal it.  When God tells you something to do, no one can do it like you. When God calls you, he anoints you for that task. Apostle gave three Post-call points about God’s call. 1. God reveals the purpose for the call, and what he will do. 2. God will outline what he wants you to do. 3. God had to contend with Moses feeling inadequate. There are people in our circle whose cry has come up to God. God needs somebody to agree with what he is going to do. God will not share his glory with anyone. We are only the vessel that God uses to carry out his divine purpose. Join Apostle Lewis Fisher Jr. on Facebook LIVE, biweekly as he broadcasts
