P4CM Pastors..

Many of you have recently heard about Pastor Justin Cox and Chris Facey stepping down from P4CM for a while due to sexual immoral sin. This blog is not to bash them at all but I want to thank them. Why? These are real leaders with real hearts.. So many leaders out there would rather hide their sin and pretend like everything is okay but I respect them. Although it hurts my heart."True Repentance" causes you to do these things. Although many may have alot to say God still wants to use them..same way he uses you.People think that because you are a Pastor you are exempt from sin. No not one bit.I respect them because they exposed their sin and that goes to show that their is no cover up or no reputation that must be kept.I do not know them personally but I know what God has done through their ministry and now is not the time to stand in judgement or hold unforgivness but choose mercy instead of justice but to pray for them because these are our brothers and wouldn't you want someone to do the same for you? The devil is so stupid they are coming back 10 times stronger than before but we must keep our eyes opened and our hearts rended lest we fall. AS I write this my emotions become overwhelmed because the enemy has no respect of persons and don't think that it can't be you because it very well might be you. Does this situation make them any less anointed by no means. Jesus didn't come for those who had it all together.He came for the weak and the broken. How can you ever know the God who delivers you out of broken places if you have never been broken. I'm asking that everyone who reads this blog feel free to leave comments. Like I stated before this blog is not to bash them but to encourage so if you can't find any encouraging words please don't post anything. Leave encouraging words up here you never know .. they just might read it and it could help bring healing

A Joint Statement from Justin Cox and Chris Facey

There are times in the Christian life when we experience joy, beauty, success, disappointment and failure. Yet in the midst of disappointment and failure God teaches us powerful lessons of love, mercy, and redemption.

When we first founded P4CM, we founded it on a desire to live a life worthy of the cross and exemplify “passion for Christ.” Recently it has become clear that we have personally drifted from the standard that we sought to uphold as a ministry, and as leaders. Part of pleasing God is admitting when you are wrong, need correction, and help. Because of this we have agreed to step down from leadership at P4CM due to moral failures respectfully in each of our lives in order to have a time of healing, discipline, growth, and restoration. We are deeply grieved and sorrowful for how our sin has affected our church, leadership, and people that have respectfully followed us throughout the years. We see that there are times in the life of David when he was a warrior, a leader, and a broken sinner. You have been with us in our stages of being warriors, you have walked with us as we were before you as leaders, and now we humbly ask you to stand by us as we write our own Psalm 51, and are before you as broken, repentant sinners in need of rebuilding, mercy, and renewal.

This is another chapter in the book of our lives, I know it may feel like a sad time, but we don’t believe this is a sad time. God is sovereignly using this process to discipline and break us, to cultivate and shape us into the men that He has always wanted us to be. Sometimes you have to die before you can live, and this is our time of dying so that we can enter into new levels of life. It is our expectation, that you don’t despair to the point of losing hope, but rather pray for us while taking heed to yourself, it is a time for you to hold on stronger and affirm your own faith with more tenacity than ever before, this is not the end but rather the beginning. We fully support the way P4CM leadership has handled this situation in the loving way God has called them to. Also, we are working with an awesome leadership team of pastors, counselors and ministers that are committed to working on us, and with us for the ultimate glorification of God. Our hope is that this is not the end, but rather the beginning of something new that God is doing in our lives that will result in us being back before you in the future as new and better men of God.

Wasted Life & "Unashamed"

A wasted life and Unashamed...

What would it be like to simply just waste our lives for Jesus? Even in our weak attempts to love Him He embraced the cross and He did all for the sake of love. A powerful man said something that I will never forget " I am not ashamed of where I am because I know where I'm going" My heart leaps every time I hear it because that's the cry of my heart. Wasting your life becomes easy when you know where your going and your not ashamed of the obstacles that you face. You may not have all the answers but you have found a love that is so much greater than the temporary pleasures of this world.

It blows my mind how God takes the things that the world considers as "waste" and He uses them to change the nations and bring revival to a generation... When is the last time the world didn't approve of you? or are you just like them.Do we really understand what we say when we say "I waste my life for Jesus" these our powerful words and they will be tried. It is simply not about the trying of these words but it is the heart behind the person who says them. How many times have you heard someone say "I Love you?" and when it came down to it their words meant nothing.

I've have come to know the one who's Love is pure and undefiled and Hes looking for those who will forsake all for the sake of Love. We will never know love until we know God because that is His very being.The very nature of who He is. Don't be ashamed to waste your life for Jesus becauseHe wasn't ashamed to waste His for you...Selah

EX- FAILURE

Beloved,

Today I want to take you on my journey of freedom.The Lord has been sharing with me that in order for the book of my life to be opened my life must become an open book. Not just for me to see but for the world to see.I have learned not to be ashamed of where I am, because where I am going is far greater than what my natural eyes can see. This blog is not because everything inside of me desires to share with you..but it is for Freedom. Every time I open my mouth I make the enemy a liar and today is exactly what I am doing.

Wow so this Sunday service at The Furnace was completely amazing. After service Our Pastor told us that she felt like that she needed to let anyone who needs to stay behind to receive prayer stay behind. I knew that for a couple of weeks that fear and thoughts of failure had been trying to bring me down. I remember grabbing my things and getting ready to walk to the car and the Holy Spirit spoke to me and said" Do you want to be free?" I said Yes and I put my things down and sat on the floor. As I was sitting there a flood of thoughts came to my mind: You will never be free, you might as well just get up, ha ha the same people that you sitting on the floor with is the same ones that you minister to BIG FAILURE. Maybe you never had these thoughts but I will be honest for you ..they come! So I just began to pray and build myself up to silence the voices. Then I heard a voice still small voice say to me "Daughter today not only do I set you free from the opinions of others but failure today I break failure off of you." Then I heard this other voice call me and it was my Pastor and she was sitting in front of a lady and she said I was sitting here asking God who is to pray for her and he said you. It completely blew my mind because here I am sitting on the floor with thoughts of being a failure but yet the Lord wants to use me? Many times we feel like that God cant use us because of the issues that we face in life but I have come to know the one who takes the foolish things and use them. All this is to say that never let the enemy tell you that because of the issues that you face that you are the only one facing them and that it makes you disqualify ed. I think about when Peter denied Jesus I'm sure he felt horrible but the Lord said "upon this rock I will build my church. The enemy would love to make you feel like your the only one and that somethings wrong with you. The truth is that Jesus died for everything that we face be the rock that he builds upon and refuse to allow the enemy to tell you any different. I hope this testimony blesses you

The TRUTH is .. you still want me??

Dear Beloved,

The Truth still and will always remain the same.. He still wants you right where you are. Yes, in that weak and broken place. Oh if we would just learn how to think rightly about Him. He never leaves us alone. Its amazing how he desperately chases after our hearts. What hinders us from loving the God who is love? I've come to the knowledge that it is only the very fact that we can't wrap our human minds around the thought that there is actually someone who loves us beyond measure. This is no worldly love its something so profound but yet so alive. We must take time to seek after the TRUTH of the Fathers heart. The God who was and the God who is and will forever be. He is the most consistent person that we will ever meet.Truth is and will always remain the same.. God still wants you no matter where you are. The God we serve is not like man and all though we have the knowledge of this, we lack the understanding within our hearts. He does not want you for what He can get out of you but He wants you because there is a desperate pursuit in His jealous eyes, even before you were in your mothers womb..and He is fighting for our affections that have been taken captive by the lusts of this world. He is leaping over the mountains and abounding over the hills knocking down everything that gets in His way until he reaches you. It would have been nice if He came for those who have it all together but I've got good news He didn't, He came for you and I.Weak and broken. Beloved I tell you the truth is and will always remain the same...He still wants you

Exchanging the Truth about God for a Lie...

Beloved, I'm afraid that we are in error when it comes to accepting the TRUTHS about God and what His son has done for us.Was the work on the cross truly enough? We might say well yeah it was.. but that's not what our actions say.Our actions say that we do not know Him. We have absolutely no clue who He is because if we did we would think rightly about Him and refuse to accept the lies of the enemy.

How do we accpet the LIES of the enemy?

- When we dont trust Him with our lives

- When We dont trust Him with jobs and finances

- When we dont trust Him for healing in our bodies

- When we believe the lies that the enemy feeds us about ourselves and others

- When we allow little things to get us distracted and our eyes off God

- When we make our situations bigger than God

It may not be these things listed above but examine your own heart nobody knows you better than you and God and it is time that we get honest with ourselves and with God. How can we expect this generation to think rightly about God when we ourselves exchange the truth about Him constantly?Beloved, there is coming a day when God will turn us over to the lies we believe...think its a joke?

Romans1:25-28

"25They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

26Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

28Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. 29They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them."

So what are you gonna do about it? Now is the time to allow God to burn those things out of us and renew our minds so that we can think rightly of the one who thinks so rightly about us...

It will cost you "Everything"

Touched by love Himself ...

Many of you have been through many situations in life, but have you ever wondered how in the world did I make it through this? Well .. you were touched by love. See, love Himself looked down from heaven and saw someone who was broken and said " I can use them right where they are" WoW! is that not amazing? It amazes me everytime I think about how dead I was on the inside and how Christ just came and touched my heart and he revived me. It wasn't by anything special that I did to deserve that love but yet he looked down from heaven and smiled over me. When you are touched by love.. your never the same. Often times we look for people to feel that love that only God can fill. When you search for love outside of Christ you will only end up right back where you started--Heart broken and desperate for more.

Love has been awakened throughout the body of Christ but when you are touched by this love what do you do with it? Do you embrace it? or do you give it back? Well you might say how do I give it back? you give it back everytime you have a choice to touch someone else with the same love that was given and you make a decision to walk past them. We are not touched by love for our own selfish gain, we are touched by love so that we can freely give it out to someone who needs it just like we did.

The Lord spoke to me and said "how can you be touched by my love and not touch anyone else?" I began to weep and ask God for forgivness because he was right. He freely gave me something that I did not deserve but yet I held on to it as if it was something that I earned. Many people in the bible who encountered Jesus love went and SHARED it with others.Now we must examine our hearts and take them before God.

Just thought I would share that with you..

Breaking off "Rejection" for the spirit of adoption

Jason Upton inspired me to write this blog after listening to one of his songs called "spirit of adoption". It absolutely touched my heart and I truely believe that the song speaks to my generation. God is breaking off the rejection. not just being rejected by boyfriends or girlfriends or a job but being rejected by family and friends. He is releasing the spirit of adoption into our lives. Leaving the old mindsets behind and the old lifestyles. He is calling us to a heavenly place with him. For every time that you have ever been hurt or disappointed by people God is going to begin to break those walls that we build in our heart.

You know those walls that say:

"I will never open up my heart to get hurt again"

"I will never trust again"

I will never let him/ her hurt me again

all these are walls that we put up in our hearts that does not allow God to love us as much as he would love to. Its time that we break off all those fears and rejection from man and begin to open up to God and allow him to adopt us into His kingdom

and hes sayingto you

"I will never leave you"

"my word is my promise"

"be the child you were created to be"

Break off rejection and recieve the Spirit of adoption in Jesus Name!

Im Sending the Fire..Sending the Flame .."I hear the sound of the abundance of rain"

God is looking for a Generation who will dare to be different. There is a sound that is being released from heaven and those who are thirsty will tap into a realm in the spirit that they have never been. God is sending his fire to rain upon the thirsty hearts of his people.The atmosphere has shifted and the sound has been released. There are things that we have been praying for God to do and in this season if you will dare to be thirsty for Him doors will begin to open that no man can shut. There is an abundance of rain coming to the land. God has opened the heavens and is pouring out his blessings upon his people. These are not just any blessings but they are heavenly blessings. When people look at you they will begin to see the glory and the power of God all over you. There is a spiritual veil that is being released over the body of Christ. This veil is so bright that the enemy is blinded. No darkness can come near this veil. God is raising up an army of people who will stand against the enemy in boldness and not in fear or intimidation. This is the year of the FIRE of the heavens and the abundance of RAIN...I dare you to tap in to what God is doing in the nations. can you hear the sound?

My hands are lifted and my heart is ready....

This picture is a representation of someone deciding that they want to surrender their heart to God. Someone with a cry of desperation saying,"God I don't know everything, but I know that I Love you God". We have to get to the place where we realize that without God we are nothing,without God we can do nothing but fail, but it is by His love and His mercy that when he looks down upon us he sees the blood of his son. The hand here in this picture is partially closed because it is not totally surrendered. They are unaware of the full price that is required to be a follower of Jesus Christ. Their is no more half surrendering situations to God, either we desire to be fully His or we don't. Its time to stop living with our hands half way surrendered to God and give him ourselves Above all else. Above every situation, above every circumstance, for God takes pleasure in a surrendered heart and a surrendered hand. When God looks down from heaven he does not see everything that's wrong with us because he created us so there is no need to look down at what he created and point out everything that's wrong because HE ALREADY KNOWS. Nothing is hidden from his eyes so just lift up your hands and surrender it is so much easier ..... His LOVE is so much better 

What can separate you from the LOVE of God?? ::: KANSAS CITY

Today I would like to share with you my journey from Kansas City. I am with some of the youth from my church @ the International House Of Prayer and all I can say is WOW. This is the second day and it is already blowing my mind. This is a place where its 24 hours of prayer, where healing and deliverance takes place. Yesterday we had a chance to sit in on a worship service after Mike Bickle was done teaching on the book of revelations. It was one particular song played that touched my heart very deeply. It was called [[Jesus, lover of my soul]]. That song that really touched my heart really deeply because it showed just how deep Gods love for us goes. Its deeper than we can ever think or imagine. When we think about the way God loves us UNCONDITIONALLY, its kind of hard to wrap our minds around. As this song was playing the Holy Spirit made me examine my heart and he spoke to me and said"what can separate you from the love of God?" All these things began to flash before me and my spirit was overwhelmed by the presence of God. I began to deal with those things in my heart that was not pleasing to his eyes. God even allowed me to see walls that I had put up with him that I didn't even know was there. His love does not compare to mans love. He will never leave us ....that's just how good of a God he is. In the midst of our sin our selfishness he can still LOVE us. He revealed to me that there were things in my life that separated me from his love [[Heart Strings]], Things that may not necessarily be sins but it separates us from the father. I encourage you to take the time and examine your heart and if there is ANYTHING that you can think of that can separate you from Gods love I challenge you to do something you have never done to get something from a God who is more than what you will ever have ...Part II coming soon stay tuned with me on this journey

"Textually" active

I know your looking at the title of this and your wondering whats going on. Its a simple thing that teens across the nation do to get them off focus and for females...on these emotional roller coasters.
Text messaging is the most popular thing to do now days. Its the easiest form of communication. Its almost like a bag of Lays potato chips you cant just eat one..Its the same way with texting you may not be talking to the person but every word that they say is going into your eye gates. Depending on the conversation it effects your Mind your body and your spirit.

Answer truthfully:::
I want you to stop for a minute and think...How much do I text a day?
How much time do I spend with God or reading my word?

If the hours you spend text messaging out way the hours that you spend with God ..then you might need to consider spending more time with God.

I'm not just saying this just to be saying it... these are the same questions that I had to ask myself
No longer can we be "textually active" but God must be our first Love

a lot of people get so consumed in text messages that their unaware of the things around them. The enemy will use anything that he can to get you mind off focus...thus we have car accidents

Is there anything wrong with texting..NO
but if it gets all of your time or could possibly put someone else in danger then you need to reconsider whats important in your life...

It was only by the hand of God...He soo loves us

1 John 5:4 because everyone who has been born from God has won the victory over the world. Our faith is what wins the victory over the world.

Anything that we can possibly encounter in this life. God already felt the pain so that we would never have to return to those situations. God has a purpose and a plan for your life and there is no task or war that you will ever fight that he has not already defeated over 2000 years ago.

In your darkest hours ...hes there

In those hidden places...hes there

When you feel like giving up..he there

When you can't find your way out..hes there

When you need someone to talk to ...I dare you to call on him..he will be right there

This picture above ministers to me so much.That's exactly what Jesus does. Think about it..There are plenty of situations that many of us have been in that we know we should have been dead. It was only the hand of God that reached down and saved our lives...NEVER forget where God has brought you from It makes it so much easier to walk in the love& compassion of God.

John 3:16 - "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only son, who ever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life."

I remember speaking about this one Saturday at my church & while listening to a Pastor from Toronto speak at Catch the Fire church, I was like WOW! the same exact emphasis on the word "SO" was brought back to my attention... God didn't just love us ...No he SOOO loved us. That means that he loved us beyond words. He couldn't even find a word to describe his affection for us.He loved us soooo much that he was willing to give his one and only son.I don't know about you ..but that's LOVE ..and he did it all for you and I just so that we could live.

Continue to thank God for all that he has done in your life and never be ashamed.You never know ..you could save someones life.

Its gonna be worth it ...Theres a generation coming who will need this "Father not my will but your will be done"

When Jesus died on the Cross for us he knew that it was going to be worth it. So today I tell you that no matter what you go through in your lifetime.He beared it all for you and he knows how it feels to be mis understood and judged. He knows exactly how you feel. There is nothing that you will encounter in this lifetime that God has not already walked through for you and I. Do not get discouraged,dont give up. Push beyond what you see or hear and let God be God.

Jesus didn't see the full picture but he knew that it would be worth it in the end. He knew that some little girl or little boy is gonna need this..There is no greater love than somone who would lay down there life for another.He believed in you and I ...so dont give up on God. Its gonna be worth it!

"God please save my child!"..thankyou God..now step out of the way I have this under control..Dont need your help anymore..

Are you guilty of this?...many times parents can be guilty of killing their childrens destiny knowing or unknowingly. I can speak for teens all across America. Whenever you feel that your parents are pulling you away from something you love to do after a while there is a resentment that builds up then you become angry at them. The worst thing a parent can do is pull a child away from God. and it is 10 times worse when you are a believer. You give them the impression that everything that you ever taught them about God is a lie. How can we say that we are believers but yet pull our children away from God?Do you not remember the nights that you cried out and travailed for them to be saved? Did God not answer your prayers? Do you not remember the joy that you felt the very first time they gave their life to God? Do you not remember the days that you were pleased that they finally turned to something else besides sex, drugs, gossip, rebellion, vanity, lust etc. ....think about this ..think hard. are you helping push your child closer to God?.. or do you feel the need to control there lives without saying a word. well maybe you say Im not controlling them I just want the best for them
Answer: God knows whats best ...do not tell the potter what to do with the clay.When you cried out to God to step in and help...its time to move on out the way and let him help...

I dont know ...but I would rather be able to say my parents pushed me closer to God than say my parents pulled me away from God but they told me that God was the answer ...

He loves me..he loves me not...

“Rihanna told her, ‘It’s not his fault. When he hurts me, he’s a beast, but then he turns into my angel … He’ll hit me and then feel bad afterwards, but then he turns into the sweetest man and becomes my angel. He’ll cry like a little baby when he makes it up to me, and that’s the part I love.’”

Chris Brown and Rihanna were the WORLDS best role models for a young relationship until recently when it was found out that Chris Brown beat Rihanna almost to the point where she was unable to respond. So many young people looked up to both of them. They saw the fam and money but what they didnt see is the behind the scenes drama that was going on. If Rihanna stays with Chris she is letting every young girl across America feel that its okay to stay in a abusive relationship and Chris is making it seem that its okay to beat on your women.

No it is not okay..and it will never be okay ...this is what our generation and the ones under us have to look forward to in the world .Its up to us to point them to Jesus
So many women across america are being beaten every day ....put in situations where they feel that there is no Hope.

There is only one love that never fails
One love that can feel the heart
One love that has the answers
One love that you can depend on
..His name is Jesus

God will never leave your face looking like this....
