Opening Night for Infusion Saturday Services  on September 19, 2009 at Crossroad Christian Center (CCC) magnificent! 

Pastor Ken welcomed in the new cutting edge Saturday night services.  The house was packed!  You can feel the excitement in the atmosphere as the congregation was enthused that a new thing is happening in our city ---the Major was there celebrating with CCC also!  The praise team opened up with "My Soul Longs For You" followed by "God In The City", "Hosanna", "Let It Rain" and "One Way, Jesus"!  The Presence Of God was permiating the room as the glory of Jesus was so evident.  After Pastor Ken preached on the subject "Fear",  CCC had 9 salvations and the ages were under 25.  It is the heart of our Pastor reaching people who does not attend church and hopefully they will feel more comfortable by going to church on Saturday evenings.  Targeting the ages between 18-30 and those who are Young At Heart!

We know God is doing a new thing, making a difference in our city and getting the word out that there is an unique church who truly cares for people.  As our Pastor has stated, this is a church of broken, hurting people, and many who has been rejected.  A church that will love you, re-build your broken life to whole restoration, a "PLACE THAT IS SAFE"!  Targeting the Non-Religious, real and who truly loves Jesus. There are numerous testimonies of how many lives has been changed at CCC because of a God who is real and alive!   

Finish My Thoughts Soon!

We want the whole world to know what an amazing man of God Arthur Blessitt is!  He is real, transparent, down to earth, the most sweetest & kindest man one could ever meet.  He truly loves God with all his soul, heart and being.  He has the biggest heart of encouragement, and when you meet him, you will fall in love with the special person that he is.  In his ministry; no man has done the things througout his jouney by carrying the cross around the world and making it out ALIVE!  What a witness Arthur has for the world to see and hear regarding God's love, even in the darkest of situations, wheeeewh!

Arthur's movie "The Cross" will be at major theaters March 27, 2009 throughout the USA, and I believe this movie will make the same impact as Mel Gibson's movie "Passion Of The Christ" making a differnece throughout the world.  Any movie that contributes to the love and faithfulness of Jesus Christ, is definetly going to be SOUL WINNING! - Proverbs 11:30 says ... The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who wins souls is wise - niv.  Arthur has a book regarding his jouney and I need to pick up a copy and read it soon.  If  you watch TBN - they are very excited about Arthur's movie.  His book is TBN's love gift for the Month of March.

What a high honor and special privilege on Arthur's Premiere Night for his movie "The Cross", he personally invited us to share his special moment at the Mann's Chinese Theater in Hollywood, CA on Tuesday, March 24th, for the viewing of his new movie.  This will be the very first time that we are going to meet him in person and we will add to this Blog regarding the event of that night.  He stated that he is excited to walk down the Red Carpet as he carries the beautiful Cross with him.  The royal "Red Carpet" treatment for this night in Hollywood is for the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords - symbolically, the Red Carpet represents the precious "Blood of Jesus".  What GLORY Arthur is bringing to the Cross of Jesus Christ in Hollywood where his ministry began.  Less than two weeks, we get to be part of this major event in Christian movie making history.  Arthur also stated that he is going to carry the cross in the streets of Hollywood that night also.  Lord, Jesus, let Your glory shine in Hollywood once again! 

Weekend of March 15th, drove out to Hollywood to intercede around the area of the Mann's Theater.  Cannot spiritually describe the heaviness and darkness that is in that area and my heart goes out to the people that God truly cares & loves them.  Very excited to witness God's glory as the cross of Jesus is going to be represented to bring hope in the streets of Hollywood on the 24th --- may the Cross prevail! 

I will Blog later after March 24, 2009.  Can't wait!   If anyone who knows Arthur or has any testimonies, please post your comment on this Blog!

A Devotional Taken From Mike Murdock: An Atmosphere Of Praise & Worship Can Unlock Your Faith For Miracles.  When David Played His Harp For Saul, Evil Spirits Departed From The Palace.  Anointed Music Is One Of The Master Keys In Creating A Miracle Climent.  SOUND Is essential In Creating Change!  When You Control The Sounds Around You - You Control The Flow Of Your Feelings.  "But Now Bring Me A Minstrel.  And It Came To Pass, When The Minstrel Played, That The Hand Of The Lord Came Upon Him"  II Kings 3:15

This Blog Is Written Personally From My Heart:  I have been observing regarding what is aired on Christian TV, visiting Mega Churches and hearing Pastor's or Leader's in general, in how they explain themselves trying to reach the Youth, and if any generation needs to be reached, it is definitely and always has been the Youth.  Youth has always been a target from the Enemy since man was ever created.  There is an extreme passion in the Church preparing the Youth to take over for the next generation of true worshipers, who will definetly go higer than many of us in Praise & Worship, oh yeah!

The Youth Rules no matter what generation one comes from.  Youth is highly regarded in the Bible such as young King David, Timothy, Stephen to name a few.  Also, in Luke 2:41-52; the only passage of Scripture regarding Jesus' youth of His amazing wisdom to the Leader's of His time (future blog on this amazing Youth revelation God gave me, really cool). 

However, when it comes to the MUSIC, for some reason many Youth Leader's, (including myself from a past mindset of serving in Youth ministries), Youth Pastor's or Senior Pastor's will state that the music they are promoting is for The Youth & Young People only.  Many of these Leader's who are nationally known or Leader's in the local community are coming across that this loud or semi-loud, cool, energetic & modern reverent music is only for the Youth and no other age group appears to be important or included.  The truth is ... this music is extremely accepted by most people of all ages, race and gender.  If one spends most of their lives in adulthood; by the appearance of, this message is possibly not giving the Youth hope that life is awesome as one grows up, and especially the awesome seasons of life God gives. 

Speaking from the human side of things because Youth is extremely exalted from Christian Media and some Church's in general when it comes to the music (and over looking other age groups who adores this music, too), I personally would never ever want to grow older either just by what I am observing.  The Youth has so much to look forward in the things of God for their future, oh yeah!!!  It' all about One Body in Christ growing the Heavenly Kingdom together!!! I love to observe and learn from all the different age groups and the diversity of cultures that are in my life.  I am very blessed to have such a huge variety of people in my life - wish everyone could be open to God's colorful rainbow of people.  I have great concerns from my experiences, what is going on now, and I need to share this revelation. 

I truly believe what some of these Leader's are trying to say that the music is just not for the Youth (even tho it appears to be more highly accepted by the Youth or the younger generation), however, I truly believe it is A Generation Of New Music.  There is a supernatural thirst and hunger coming from all generations desiring this soul filling and life changing music that is bringing all of God's people together as one.  It is undeniably captivating the Lost and bringing them to Jesus - I see it over & over again.  This music is planting seeds of Salvation's and eventually bringing more souls to Jesus Christ.  It is breaking down strongholds, tearing down walls, melting the hardest of hearts, mending, healing and restoring broken lives. 

This generation of new music appears to impact those who mainly grew up in the 50's thru the 90's in a variety of styles; Rock, R&B, Pop, Metal, Alternative, Hip Hop, and etc.  Most of this generation is alive and doing quite well.  In fact, the generation I am referring to are singer song writer's, artist's and worship leader's who has given the world some of the most amazing anointed P&W songs that are sung today, and yes, even the Youth has been enormously effected by their songs and styles.  A thought to think about: If the majority continues to put limits on anointings - putting God in a box, and stating that no one over 21 (ie) is allowed to be apart of praise teams or writing songs for the local Church or the Christian Media collectively, then we will never have the songs today that has touched our lives and bringing us into the very Presence of God - there is just not enough time in these last days of putting God in a box.  AND if Youth is leading the Youth, how will they ever have someone with experience to learn from and carry the baton to another level of greater anointings?

It blesses me to see the older gereneration praising & worshiping God with the harder edge of music, it is awesome!  Many of the elderly is pretty cool too when they glorify God in this new music movement, totally awesome!  I am blessed when I see babes as young as one years old, raising their hands and singing to God in today's modern P&W music - talk about a blow away!  I am in awe when I see middle school kids lifting up Holy hands with out being prompt, they do it just because they understand the importance of worship - wow!  This is the now generation of ALL peoples of God  coming together as ONE to worship in Spirit and in truth.  Question To Think About: "Why Is God Being Put In A Box?" ... Wheeeewh!

I may not be the generation who came from traditional music which is very precious, and I am blessed when ever I hear it, because it was introduced to me by my grandparents, father and mother to a small degree.  History of the Jesus movement somewhere in the 70's to my understanding was the change and the beginning for modern Christian P&W.  Today, there is a new SOUND, a new change and a Higher Level of worshiop on this earth, and this SOUND is for all people to grab a hold of and "to expressively worship our amazing God in total freedom". 

Hillsong/United (I absolutely admire Music Pastor, Worship Leader, Artist & Singer Songwriter Darlene Zcheck who has touched my life thru her amazing, unique, one of a kind ministry for the Kingdom.)  Hillsong ignited a Higher standard of worship and their Sound has touched the world for years and since then, new Sounds has been birthing in churches of all sizes, artists, bands, groups, singer song writer's, praise teams who are writing these awesome new songs coming straight from the Throne Room of God Himself.  Another awesome true worshiper is extremely anointed Worship Leader, Artist & Songwriter Misty Edwards  Int'l House of Prayer (IHOP) from Kansas - USA, also has set Higher standards of P&W in the most amazing, coolest, creative music I have ever worshiped too - extremely prophetic (Love her song "My Soul Longs For You & Servant Of All").  Free Chapel's - Jentezen Franklin's Worship Pastor & Leader, Songwriter Ricardo Sanchez has inspired me with his song MOVING FORWARD, wheeewh!  He is one of the most sweetest, kindest, people person one could ever meet.  He shared his story regarding Moving Forward and his song absolutely helped get me thru a very difficult transition in life and I thanked him for such an awesome song from his heart - he is amazing! 

This music is for all who receives it and it is SO satisfying to the heart, soul, mind and spirit.  Worhsip you can just get lost in.  No matter what the style may be - if it is a SOUND coming from Heaven and touching millions of heart's to make a difference in some one's life and bringing them to Christ --- It should never be a concern of age, race or gender to worship our awesome God in Spirit and in Truth ............. Let this Generation Of New Music be apart of EVERYBODY who is open and who receives it!!!!

 Xoxoxo!  The Jewish New Year has already begun and Thursday - October 9th, 2008 is the appointed day that God reconciliates with man.  Those who honor this day, God is preparing mega blessings for the whole coming year.  I have been waiting for weeks to honor God for this specific day and I am not going to miss out on it.  I am just learning the ways of God thru awesome Hebrew teacher's and their revelaions are amazing.  My mind is in awe and I am trying to consume all that I am learning.   8 Promises of God on the Day of Atonement is found in Joel 2: 23-32; Increase (Double Portion) - Revelation - Fresh Anointing - God's Power - Restoration - Financial Abundance - No Shame but deliverance - and God's Presence.  I am looking forward in what He has in store for the comming year, oh yeah!  Tonight 10/08/08 at 9:30 p.m., I will be fasting with no water and no food for 24 hours and offering the best gift I can give Him.  For me to go without water for 24 hours, trust me, will be an absolute sacrifice on my behalf.  Ok with the food, but water and Ice Tea?  Sacrifice!   Even tho I am a Gentile born and raised in Southern California (never been to Israel.........yet!), however, I have a spiritual connection thru Jesus - Yeshua the Messiah, that makes me adopted into the Jewish family of believer's.  I am honored that I get to celebrate the Day of Attonement 2008 of New Beginnings with God and His precious chosen people.  New Year's for me was January 1, 2008 partaking in the Daniel Fast for 21 Days with Pastor Jentezen Franklin and expanded the Fast for 40 Days.  (Attended Pastor Jentezen's chruch in Irvine, CA from 10/2007-8/2008 and God moved my husband & I to a powerful church called Crossroad Christian Center due to fasting, praying and following God's voice.)  BETH Ministries lives a Fasted Lifestyle!   There are some resources of understanding the Day of Atonement by Rabbi Messer, Perry Stone and Larry Huch Ministries (Click "WebLinks" on Home Page then Click "Ministries Resources #2" for Perry Stone & Lary Huch).  I have been watching Paula White daily regarding the Day of Atonement and I would love to have every recorded Broadcast from Paula for my own personal DVD library of resources.  I will comment back in a couple of days in how my day went on 10/09/08.   My Prayer; Lord help me not to complain without water and especially fresh brewed Ice Tea, amen.  I am already getting thirsty and the Day of Attonement does not even start until tonight.  The spirit is willing but the flesh is.....you know, it can be weak.  But His Word declares: I Can Do All Things Thru Christ Who Strengthens Me!  Don't you just love Jesus because you can be yourself in a real relationship with Him, so cool!   

 Xoxoxo! Today is 10/11/2008 and my feedback on the day of Yom-Kippur.  I was not hungry nor thirsty in the 24 hours, however, the headaches and tiredness was there, but so was God.  He just happened to bring up the very things I was being healed from, checking on me, to see if I am truly healed.  I still have some more  healing but I can say that victory is also so sweet!  That night at Church was a Praise & Worship meeting and God spoke to my heart saying "This is where I want you to serve" and I said "yes, Lord".  That following day I was invited to a Faith Works Conference regarding Christians in the Market Place and out of all places, I met a business man/evangelist-disciple who knows about the Hebrew Alphabet thru the eys of Yeshua Jewish believer's.  This was definately a God divine moment for this person to explain more information in what BETH means.  I hope someday someone out there will write a book on Beth (Bet) so believer's will know just how imperative our spiritaul houses are to God.  Jesus said that He is the foundation, The Rock in which we build upon - the very place He can dwells within us!

 Xoxoxo!  I asked the Spirit of God who can I touch?  Question.  Is there truly freedom in  FORGIVING?  And the answer is,  Oh...Yeah! Absolutely!    Have you ever felt mistreated, misread, abused mentally or physically, disrespected, rejected, over-looked, unprotected, gossiped and lied about for someone elses gain or plans, betrayal, politics, dishonored, judged, you are a threat, lied to, you don't fit in, you are not what they want or looking for, jealousy towards you, what you look like, gender, race, your uniqueness and difference, offences, denial, interruptions in life, divorce, cheated, tormenting spirits, depression, oppressed, violated, and the list immeasurably goes on and on?  Unfortunately, the pain, anger, and hurts usually comes from the very one's you love, you have trusted, or people you are involved with, and it just happens to be the very things you have Passion for, your Calling, your Dreams, and it just messes with your heart and head - AND it comes from within the church, school, the work place or the home? We live in a fallen world and there will never be a perfect people, but we have a perfect God!   The Good News!  Romans 8:28 says that all things work out for those who love God and who are called according to His purpose - YES!! you have purpose!  If it is not God sent - it will be God used.  The Word also says that our foot steps are ordered by God - so if you are not in the right place or with the right people, the Spirit of God will direct you where He wants you to be; the place where you will be effective and making a difference.  It is not easy going thru the transitions, but remember the Cross of Jesus went before you, so you can receive His peace thru your healing and restoration - trusting Him completely as He is opening and closing doors that No Man can open or shut thru your journey in life.  Jerimiah 29:11 says that God has a good plan, a hope for your future that will not bring harm to you - you are safe in Christ.  Decide to make a choice of walking in faith and trusting Him where His Spirit is leading - He loves being trusted because you are telling God that He is in control of your life and not the circumstances, whew!  One of my favorite Wisdom Keys quoted from Mike Murdock is "An Uncommon Assignment Attracts An Uncommon Advisary", wow!  It takes all the ugly to develop Godly character and the ugly moves you on to something bigger and better going from glory to glory - He is taking you Higher and Higher for the betterment of someone elses life - enhancing the building for His Kingdom.  Purified thru the fire and brokeness is how God will use you mightily - a good place to be.  Keep on giving Him the praises and giving Him the thanks because this gives Him the opportunity of showing off His glory and greatness in and thru you.   Take heart because God is so in love with you and He only wants the best for you and nothing less.  You are His temple and He dwells within you.  No matter what people say or think about you, it is what God thinks about you.  He thinks nice things about you, He accepts you, and LOVES everything about you.  Why?  Because He was mindful of you before you were born and created you just the way He wanted you to be.  Since man did not create you - you do not have to be approved by man. amen!  Knowing who you are and who's you are in Christ is absolute freedom!   Forgiveness is releasing it ALL to God and not taking it back - if you take it back, you are telling God that you do not trust Him, so release it!  Trust Him!  You were not designed to carry the weight and Jesus said to cast all your cares upon Him and He will do the rest!  He promises to be your defense AND no weapon formed against you shall prosper!
