Are you dating or married?
John 17:21
“I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one—as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me.”
When two people get married the possessions and wealth of one becomes the possessions and wealth of the other. If you didn’t have a car and the person you married did than you now have a car. If you need to sign important papers for the other person you are dating, you can’t but if you are married you can. If you are dating, you can go where you want and do what you want but once you get married you must come to an agreement on these things.
Christ prayed that we might be one with Him as He is one with the Father. What does it mean to be one with Christ? We no longer do what we want but we do what He wants. We want all that God has to give to us but we must be married to Him. He must be our primary love. I told my wife many years ago I could not love her as I should unless I love God more. Loving God means that I want to be the very best husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend I can be. But this power comes through union with Him.
Do want to please Him? You must desire Him and the things He desires. He must have our heart, our soul, and body.
Are you dating Christ or married to Him?

The following picture is of Bro. Freddie and his family. Freddie and his wife Melody are in the middle. His daughter on the left is Jemina and on the right are his daughter and son, Kezia and Freddie Jr.
Freddie stated that his family is always by my side involving themselves in children’s ministry, tracts distribution, youth ministry, music ministry, and visitation ministry of prayer and intercession.
Please keep them in prayer for continued growth in their lives and their ministry.
Dr. Timothy Emerick

This is a review of the life and part of the ministry of Dr. Emerick as a young man reaching out to save young boys and girls from the violence of gang life. He opened up Youth Centers that offered alternative activities to keep these kids off the streets. The Youth Center ran for over 10 years reaching hundreds of kids for Christ. he opened these Youth Centers because he was tired of burying young boys who lost their lives to gang violence.

This is another picture of our dear Brother Freddie Briones ministry to those in prison. Remember what our Lord stated in Matthew 25:36, ” I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.
Thank you for your ongoing support so we can help many people to come to the knowledge of our Lord regardless of their circumstances.

Faith Sees the Answer!
Introduction.
Our past teachings on faith helps us understand faith is not hope. Faith is present hope is future. Then we examined the relation of feelings versus faith. We have seen and past teachings that faith is not hoping that we will receive the answer sometime in the future. We rely on our human senses that is contrary to the revelation truth of the word of God. Now we must understand that understanding these previous discussed concepts we move on to the central truth of seeing that truth faith see the answer. Christ said ‘Father, I am glad that you always hear me.’ John 11:42
Faith is believing that we have the answer now and says thank you Father!! The eyes of faith see the answer has if it already happened.
Calling those things that are not as though they were. ‘as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations’ in the presence of Him whom he believed God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did. He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.’ Romans 4:17, 20-21.
The Word of God takes Prominent Place in your Life.
My son give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; For they are life to those who find them, And health to all their flesh. Proverbs 4:20-22

• People fail because they see themselves failing, in doubt, sick, dying, maybe they have anger or resentment against some one in their heart.
• Jesus took our infirmities.

Surely, He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. Isa. 53: 4-5.
‘When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: “He Himself took our infirmities’ and bore our sicknesses.” Matt. 8:17.
• God’s Word is life and healing.
• Get your mind on the answer, not the problem.

Faith Contradicts Circumstances
….for He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So we may boldly say: “The LORD is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” Heb. 13:5-6.
• We walk by Faith not by our feelings.
• People speak defeat, disease, and poverty.
• Wrong thinking, wrong believing, and wrong talking will result in wrong living.
Faith Sees the Answer and says Thank You Father!
who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were (past tense) healed.
1 Peter 2:24.
And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Phil. 4:19.
The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall, I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1.
For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Mark 11:23
• Real Faith in God simply says what God says about themselves and circumstances.
Believe in your Heart!
A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks. Luke 6:45
How you believe, (think) is how you will speak. And how you speak will is how you will live.

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We have some great news! The Lord has opened up two more prisons to us to reach young men who are desperately in need of repentance and having an abundant life in Jesus. My wife and I will be serving as volunteer chaplains to about 200 inmates overall in both facilities. We will be conducting general worship services as well as a weekly Bible study in both Spanish and English. We are asking everyone to pray of how you might be able to partner with us in supplying material to these men. We have to make copies of our Bible Studies, purchase literature and Bibles. Whatever you can send will be a blessing.
You can donate using Zelle through Bank of America listing our email address of harvestevangelisticassociation@aol.com or you can use PayPal.
We want to thank you in advance for your prayers and support during this very crucial time in the Lord opening these doors for us.
In the Masters Service,
Claudia and Timothy

Faith versus Feelings

The central truth of this teaching regarding faith versus feelings is;

• #1 we need to find a promise of God for whatever you are seeking.
• #2; believe God ‘s word.
• #3; do not consider contradictory circumstances.
• #4; praise God for the answer.

We cannot understand God by our feelings. We are told to walk by faith and what God ‘s Word says to us. The only way will get to know God and understand Him and get acquainted with Him is through the word. Many people want goosebumps, they want to feel good, then they think their prayers are heard. God says without faith it is impossible to please him. Our faith should not be based on feelings but should be based on God ‘s word. This is not Christian Science. We base our faith on God and His Word not in the mind. I am not saying to ignore the symptoms of the body. I am telling you to get your body into line with what God’s Word says.

A Name Above Every Name!

The Church has not seen as of yet our high calling we have in Christ Jesus. We have been filled with the power of God. God has called us to be His representatives on earth. It says in the Epistles to the Ephesians that the fulness of Christ is His church on earth.

We are the eyes, mouth, feet and hands of Jesus on earth. We carry the light of God and the Kingdom of God on earth. We are His ambassadors. We are to use the Name of Jesus to free those who are being oppressed of the devil.

To use the Name of Jesus requires your faith as well. People want the blessings of Abraham with the faith of Thomas. They want to see first then receive but the bible says believe in your heart first and speak it and then you receive. But it MUST be accompanied by both right believing, right speaking, and right living.

A Name above every Name

It is the name of Jesus that your authority over the devil and guarantees the answer to the command of faith.

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: ¹⁰ that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; Phil. 2:9-10

Jesus defeated Satan by conquest and the kingdom of darkness. “far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come”. Eph. 1:21.

Jesus disarmed them

blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; and having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. Col. 2:14-15.

Wrong Thinking Brings Wrong Speaking. Wrong Speaking Brings Wrong Living.

You need to understand that unspoken thought is never born if they are not spoken. This is for both positive and negative thoughts.

 You have been Set Free from the kingdom of darkness. Col. 1: 13-14

 How You Think in Your Heart. Prov. 23:7

 Our Mind-We are to renew our minds and bring every contrary thought to the obedience of Christ. Rom. 12:2

Our Body- bring your body into subjection. Don’t be body ruled, be Spirit ruled. You are to rule the body. The works of the flesh are just that, our works. I Cor. 9:27 Rom. 12:1.

Dr. Emerick

Right & Wrong Thinking

I have stated time and again that the way we think is the way we will speak. And the way we speak is the way we will live and believe. Our belief system is built on either the way the worlds system thinks or how God tells us how to think, speak and believe.

The mind is where the battle begins for us. We are told to resist the devil. We first resist him in our minds first. James 4:7

There’s a legal side which is taking place in the mind and in the actions of God like saving people and healing people. And then our side the experimental by believing what God said by thinking speaking at living that promise that God has made. It Has to be a balance between the legal side of scripture and what God has done and the experimental side of what we need to do by excepting the legal side as proof. When there is not a balance you have just the legal side which produces nothing more than dead unresponsive people and the experimental side which only developed fanaticism. I want us to have a balanced approach in the scriptures.

Right and wrong thinking, speaking, and believing. The appropriate confession makes what we have been thinking and saying become a reality in our life and in our spirit.

Stand your ground!

But let him ask for it in faith, without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed about. ⁷ For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; James 1:6-7
