It is our prayer that as you enter our doors you will feel the Presence of the Lord and that as you leave you will say, "I have truly met with Jesus today!"
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 6:1-15 (The feeding of the 5,000) In verse 5 , Christ was testing the disciples when He asked: "Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?" Philip's response in verse 7 shows where his faith was. He quoted a dollar amount that wouldn't even be sufficient for each one to have just a little bread. Andrew's response wasn't much better-- a young boy who had 5 loaves of bread and 2 small fish-- " but what are they among so many?" Many times, we as Christians respond to needs in the same way. We look at our insufficiency. We look at what we have and we say it's too little. Looking at what we have or don't have- we then feel insufficient and our faith is low. But the truth is--- what we have IS insufficient! Jesus told the disciples to set the men down and then He took what He had- the 5 loaves and 2 small fish-- and when He had given thanks for what He had- God created a miracle right then and there! Jesus was trying to ...
Acts 1:7-11 "And He said to them, 'It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, who also said, 'Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.'" ( NKJV) Jesus had been with the disciples for three years. He had taught them all that He could at that time. Many things were a mystery to them for they did not have the ability to understand it all then. But, Jesus had now ascended back to the Father...
