1 Kings 19: 11 Then He said, "Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord." And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; 12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.    This scripture is taken from the story of Elijah, after defeating the false prophets at Mount Carmel and then escaping from Jezebel. Elijah finds himself on a mountain . There was a strong wind storm, an earthquake and then a fire. But God was not in them. God was in the still small voice.   Recently we had Revival Services at the church. Much prayer and fasting, many

Revival By Pastor Keith You hear people say today, “We need revival in the church”, but do they really know what is required of them.   Revival is not like a bowl of instant oatmeal; empty the packet into the bowl, pour a cup of boiling water into the bowl, stir and voila you have a bowl of oatmeal ready to eat.   You ask people, “What are you doing to bring revival to your church?” The answers are always the same and spoken with an indignant tone; “Well I go to church on Sunday Morning” or “I give some money in the offering” or “I sing in the choir” and the list goes on. But what are they doing the other 166 hours of the week? Their day starts in a fury.   Get up and get ready for work, get the kids off to school, work 8 hours a day and take the kids to their sporting practice or events.   Don’t forget ballet, music, pageantry, then it is off to our second job, supper whenever we can get it (families no longer eat together), and then we come home and as we fall acro

Acts 4:13-22 19 But Peter and John answered and said to them, "Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge. 20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard." 21 So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way of punishing them, because of the people, since they all glorified God for what had been done.   The world has changed the wording on many things. It no longer calls sin sin- but "life style" or "choice".  It calls good evil and evil good.  But God doesn't change to suit the trends of the world. What was once sin, is still sin. Wrong is still wrong in God's eyes no matter what the courts or the world  says. His Word does not change.  The Je

  Sis. Cynthia Parsons     (Taken from Sis. Cynthia Parsons' message- 8/24/2015)     John 18:37-38: "37 Pilate therefore said to Him, "Are You a king then?" Jesus answered, "You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice." 38 Pilate said to Him, "What is truth?" And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, "I find no fault in Him at all"        Romans 1:20-25: "20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so t

Sis. Lynne Parsons   (Taken from Sis. Lynne's message- August 16, 2015) Hebrews 2:1-3: "1 Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away. 2 For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward, 3 how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him"      

We at the Shepherd's Fold Apostolic Church are praying for revival: in our world, in our nation, in our community, in our homes and in our individual lives. The greatest thing to bring about revival is to have a correct view of Who God really is. According to scripture-- He is Holy and therefore He requires that His people be Holy as well. This holiness is not in outward appearance but an inward attitude of the heart- a separation of ourselves to be totally God's possession. These things don't happen overnight and change must come to individuals as we pray for this revival. We must allow the change to come. As we separate ourselves to the Lord- in our hearts--  ( we can't take ourselves out of the world- we are in the world- but not of the world)-- as we continually humble ourselves before a Holy and awesome God- God will bring about the change required. Isaiah said that he was "undone" when he truly came into the majesty and holiness of God. We, also,

John 7:37-39 "37 On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.   38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water." 39 But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified."   On the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles, Jesus stood up in the middle of the crowd and  loudly told the people to come to Him. If you could put yourself there. This was a joyous celebration commemorating  how God had sent water from a rock. (Ex. 17). The people were watching the  priest as he went about his ceremony. They di

  Matthew 21:6-16 "15 But when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that He did, and the children crying out in the temple and saying, "Hosanna to the Son of David!" they were indignant 16 and said to Him, "Do You hear what these are saying?" And Jesus said to them, "Yes. Have you never read, 'Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have perfected praise'?""   In this section of scripture the incident of Christ coming into Jerusalem on a donkey is related. There was immense excitement surrounding this. The people laid branches and garments out for Him. The disciples and others realized the significance of Christ entering in this way. It was the way that a king entered a city. They all thought that Jesus was setting things up for Him to become their

(Taken from Brother George Parsons' message- 3/23/2015) Ephesians 4:11-14-- 11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, 13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; 14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting,   1 Corinthians 13:10-12 10 But wh

Philippians 3:7-9: 7 But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. 8 Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ                                                  9 and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; Paul stated here that he considered everything in life as rubbish, trash, in order to know Jesus Christ. In life, if we keep tract of our nutrition in order to have a healthy life we learn soon t

1 Corinthians 6:9-12: "9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God. 12 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any."   Paul stated here in verse 12 that all things were lawful to him but not helpful. Th
