Great Cause Event Come Out If You Can !!!
8466485062?profile=originalEvent Name: An Evening of Praise & Worship Benefiting Typhoon Relief Efforts in the Philippines
Time: December 21, 2013 from 7pm to 9:30pm
Location: Sharon Bible Fellowship Church
Street: 6117 Seabrook Road

Description:

Typhoon Haiyan, known as Typhoon Yolanda in the Philippines, was an exceptionally powerful force that devastated portions of Southeast Asia, particularly the Philippines the early part of November 2013.  It is the deadliest Philippine typhoon on record, taking the lives of over 5,000 people in that country alone.

Naomi McIlwain, a freshman student at Bowie State University decided to address the devastation inflicted on a nation and a people by bringing some of her music, spoken word and dance friends together to do what they do best, sing and dance to the glory of our Lord, and give compassionate support to a part of the world that most have never visited before.

One of the most effective hindrances Satan uses against believers is distraction . Satan can veer the believer from a growing personal relationship with Jesus to activities that may or may not be good things . He can distract the believer from victory in Jesus to fears about the future and regrets about the past . He can turn a heart from the grace and mercy of Christ to legalistic self-righteousness , from focus on God's glory to the pursuit of personal ambition , from character-based spiritual transformation to activity-based performance . The list is endless and dangerous . The Bible says the believer's eyes should be focused on Jesus Himself at all times . Nothing must distract the believer from making Jesus the center of his or her life . '' No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God '' ( Luke 9:62 ) .

Believers Face Temptation Also

Believers face temptation to conform to the world's perspective every day. The temptation to conform to the world is marketed well- abortion as choice, lust as freedom of expression, and greed as determination . Each believer must develop a keen eye for God's truth and then stand his or her ground against the world often feeling alone against the masses . The struggle can be exhausting ( 1 John 2: 15 – 16 ) . But for all the clever marketing the world does , the difference between the world and the Father are clear when God's Word is used as a lens . Jesus said , '' Take heart ! I have overcome the world'' ( John 16 : 33 ).

Go After Him

To get the manifested Presence of God , we must persevere as Jacob did . When God sees how determined and persistent we are to know Him , He will reveal Himself to us . Remember , He sent His Son Jesus to die for us that His people could be reconciled back to Him . He did all of this just to get close to us . Just think of what He will do for us if we go after Him !

To All Leaders Of The Church

(I pray ) that ( God ) would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height-to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. ( EPHESIANS 3:16-21 )

Sharing Partnerships in Ministry

 

WE ARE..."SPIRIT 2 SPIRIT"

( Our Spirit to Your Spirit )

  

Kingdom Greetings,  We are Spirit 2 Spirit. This message is not a form of advertisement, it is a genuine attempt to reach out to minister to souls with the gifts God has given us! We are simple loving souls, praying to be part of the light in life. There is nothing we love more than to help others!  Whatever the situation...Know Love is the Key!

We are first and foremost a ministry!

We are founders of a Music Ministry called Spirit 2 Sprit.

Spirit 2 Spirit is the Vision of two brothers… We love the Lord!
We live to share the love and hope that exist in a life of joyful purpose...
Our Vision is to establish a new genre of music called
"Message Music"

This is our passion and our Purpose…

Message Music’s message is…God Is…God Lives! 

It is our duty in Christ to share this Ministry
Message Music is designed to inspire one to seek a personal relationship with God thru the spirit with a message of truth….in Jesus Christ
Welcome to the World of "Message Music"

Please take a listen to some of our music, and let us know what u think...

We hope you like our music!

 

www.spirit2spiritmessagemusic.com

 

You can share with us, any issue, vision, or idea you have in mind!

Please allow us to share part of our vision with you. These thoughts have been laid on my heart thru the spirit, from real life experiences that have been shared with us.

I have very little regard for Ministries, Pastors, Churches, Evangelist, International Ministries, Charities ect… Who have the support of loving charitable Christian people, by way of Tides, donations, gifts, pledges and the like, (whether they be from the poor, average, or well to do) but don’t operate with a true sense of giving.

We ourselves have a giving spirit and have supported International and Mega Ministries but their help doesn’t trickle down to help those in need in my community!  How about yours? It may never happen!  I know folk who have tided religiously with their church, and when faced with personal hardship have be directed to seek help from The Department of Social Services….Sad but True!

 

After viewing countless Religious/Spiritual programs, Concerts, Testimonies, Websites, documentaries, and the like, on mega Christian Networks like TBN and CBN and receiving emails like this one:

 

Give a sacrificial PRAISE OFFERING -- sow a seed of faith of $20 or more today into the Breakthrough ministry -- to help me proclaim the Gospel to a lost and dying world through our TV broadcast ... and I will send you Angels Unemployed, a three-DVD video series that I believe will lead to angelic help in your life.

Give a sacrifice of praise to God, and sow your sacrificial seed of faith. Let me suggest a gift of $20, $40 or $60, as you ask God to dispatch His angels to protect and strengthen you.

 

After having contacted and made Pledges and Donations to Ministries of this kind, like countless others have wanting to help those in need. I realized they ask you to partner with them in their efforts to spread the Gospel. I wondered what it really meant  when they said  partner with us? I believe good things are being done, but where is the partnership?  You give, but it is as if you are paying for a product or service.  I have personally tried to contact some of these organizations to solicit some feedback with my concerns and vision to no avail.

 

Now, having co-founded a Musical Ministry, as I began to network and ask people for support for the Ministry, I felt as though I were doing the very same thing, and I know we want to inspire people to seek a personal relationship with God and help those in need, for we live in a time where there is GREAT NEED!

What God has put on my heart is this… A true partnership with a Ministry, Church, foundation (ect…

The universal truth is, it is in our giving we receive. It is the charge of every Ministry to take what is donated to them to do for others in need. So it is every Ministries responsibility to give., however, if your ministry is in lack there is little you can do to help.  If Ministries include other ministries in their giving, it will allow additional funds for their causes….A simple example,  if I give to X Ministry this month, X Ministry will have those funds to work with that Month, in turn,  if X Ministry gives to my Ministry next month,  I will have those funds to work with that month. So. If this simple exercise of giving is adopted among many Ministries, a guaranteed flow of income will be in motion for the Ministries to operate with, not counting the individual donations/pledges, or donations/pledges made by others for tax purposes. Meaning every ministry should have the giving go both ways, so the giving helps all involved.  Example:  We have a music Ministry, so we donate and pledge by way of Concert and Cd Revenue along with Benefit performances and fund raising events.  We can also include an exchange of link posts to one another’s websites for traffic promotion for Donations and Pledges to one another, not just one way giving..

For individuals who give with no organization affiliation, they should be given personal assistance when needed and always be given a gift!   I believe this is a true Spirit of giving that will add integrity and honor to the building of the Kingdom.

We truly need a unified effort for this to work…Please give us your honest input regarding this matter…

Ministries Giving Ministries!

We live in a time where the need is so great. Natural disasters and horrific situations are spanning the globe, so we want to do our part by focusing on our own community. 

How many folks do you know who are struggling with the necessities in life, right in your own community?

It has been placed our hearts to ask everyone who is connected in any way to a Church, Ministry, or Charitable organization to  incorporate this vision of giving to help those who duties in Christ are to unconditionally help those in need !!!

 

 

Thank you for your indulgence,…I pray this message will lead to great accomplishments for the Glory of God…

May God bless and keep you…Peace

 

We are currently awaiting the release of our upcoming Project, projected to be released by The Tate Music Group in the early spring 2011

Building A Dynasty

8466484865?profile=originalBuilding A Dynasty

Kingdom Blessings All.

When most people are getting ready for sleep or rest from a long day or night of doing whatever it takes to maintain their status in life, (job, family, kids, business, ministry, ect...) or build on what they have accomplished, I’m wide awake, can’t sleep or rest.  My mind seems to stay in a state of unrest because I know someone doesn’t have a place to sleep, and somebody kids don’t have food to eat; ect…but; some couple just flew to the islands to have dinner and have a private jet waiting to get them home so they won’t miss their tennis lesson the next day, but I have no control over it.

When I was a active addict I would burn the candle on both ends to get and stay high until I was burned out just not to have to deal with so called reality…I had no control over that either.

However, today even though I can’t sleep because of the things out of my control, The Holy Spirit that lives within me reassures me “We” as a people can make a difference.

For years black people have been asked to pool their resources to become owners of businesses instead of just consumers only to eventually sell out and think about themselves, once again…like crabs in a barrel, pulling one another down being their own worst enemy never realizing the enemy in self.  Don’t delude yourself…The truth is, it’s going to get worse before it gets better, yet those who have made up minds to be their brothers keeper will prosper even in times such as these. However; you have to be genuine, and you must have faith!  Guilt will destroy any hope for change, so it is not my intention to feed ones guilt, but to let you know you can make a difference.  Together we can save lives, create businesses and jobs; cloth and feed the needy, care for the elderly, mentor our youth, care for the handicapped and those who live with infectious disease, fund feasible research…HEAL THE LAND… As individuals, we can…SHOP TILL WE DROP…. and leave it all behind when we DIE for our families to dispute over. 

We need your support to make a difference…Give and it shall be given you, pressed down, 100 fold if you have faith in something other than yourselves.  I shared this because the Spirit within compelled me to, and maybe…some of you can’t sleep either…

Stay encouraged, & be blessed!

Denny & Mike
