Greetings and
welcome to the
second quarter
issue of 2012. We
bless the name of
the Lord for His
faithfulness and
His love.
We pray for a spe-
cial blessing be poured upon all mothers of the world;
as this is one of the greatest callings to fulfill. Thank
you mothers for carrying us for the many months that
you have and for also giving birth to us. We are alive
today because we were not aborted by our mothers.
Thank you.
There have been lots of talks about revival coming to
America. However, we find many exciting heart-
wrenching revivals taking place in our midst in the dif-
ferent cities in Florida. Consequently, we will read
about some of these great God-encounters in this
issue.
As you read the informative articles and enjoy the
beautiful pictures, say a prayer for us and the maga-
zine, so that the glory of God will always permeate our
lives.

I No Longer Fear For Your SurvivalI No Longer Fear For Your Survival
I fear your Rights!
I was afraid you'd never sing again
After witnessing how the world ripped your tune of hope,
your melodies of happiness that you were praying for
The help, that has yet to arrive
Still waiting on the dime that was supposedly donated for your care
I was afraid you would never dare dance again
To the same rhythm and blues
gospel tunes
compa and twoubadou dedicated to you
I was afraid you'd never smile again at the sun
that painted your color so vibrant with life
twice
I was afraid you'd never give birth to life
I was afraid you'd died
Like a neonatal resuscitation
You were my patient as I called out Haitian
Bondye ki sa nou fe nap peye
Yet in the same breath, who are we that He is so mindful of us
I no longer fear for your survival
For it is clear your revival is deep within
The soil of the people soul
Time we grab hold to the gospel that was foretold of the promise land
Not depending on man to lift a hand
because of our circumstance
Rather taking a stand and praising the Godman
in advance for what has already been done in the heavens
We await in faith for the manifestation to take place on earth
as you give birth to a new church, a new worth
a new body, a new bride gliding down the isle
with tears in hers eyes of amazement that she weathered the storm
Yes she made it!

Twenty
one years
ago my
husband
and I
were sent
by our
leader-
ship and
body in
Tulsa, OK
to Miami, FL. We have been
preaching, praying and
prophesying revival every-
where we go. During our
first week in Miami the Lord
told my husband that this
move of God would not
come through one person,
one church, one denomina-
tion, one race, or one peo-
ple group. This revival will
be for the whole church.
This is why I believe it so
important for the body of
Christ to come together for
this coming move of God.
I went to the "Glory Tour" with Dutch Sheets
September 30th, 2011. The Broward County
Pastor's Network, under the direction of
Pastor Mario Bramnick, brought him in and
Redeeming Word Christian Center hosted it.
In light of what was said (I took good notes)
I want to share with you what took place. I
believe what happened was historical. Let
me mention a few prophecies and insights
that others have received from the Lord
concerning revival. At the beginning of the
year, Prophet Terry Ball sent an email say-
ing that the church in Florida had missed
God's first wave of glory. When our Bishop
and his wife were here in August, she
prophesied, "Revival is coming to Florida. It
is not time to be discouraged. Don't give up.
Keep on. Revival is coming." Bishop Lau-
rore prophesied, "Excellence. It will take the
excellency of Jesus to get the gate open."
You may know that Dutch Sheets relocated
his ministry to Alabama. He said that he is
called to help bring revival to America. That
is why he did the Reformation and Awaken-
ing Tours all over America in 2010. (David
and I went to the one in Jacksonville May
2010.)
Dutch Sheets shared with us that while he
was preaching in a church in Florida many
months ago that the Lord told him, "Florida
has lost ground from where I want them to
be. The enemy has succeeded in knocking
Florida behind while Florida was ahead." He
said that God has chosen a few states to be
forerunner states in order to bring the re-
vival to America. Florida has been called by
God to be a forerunner state; we have that
opportunity. The Lord has shown Dutch
Sheets and 4 other prophets that he is
knows well, that the move of God that is
about to overtake America will be more
powerful than anything America has ever
experienced. It will be known in history as
the "Third Great Awakening".
He then saw a vision of the map of Florida
with rings of light all around the parameters
from Pensacola to Jacksonville down the
coast, down to Miami and around the west
coast. He looked closer and they were rings
of light around specific cities. These cities
were lit up with the glory of God. The Lord
said that someone has to rally Florida and
he will use them to catch this state up.
Florida is moving too slowly. God is going to
catch them up to where they should have
been. That is why Dutch Sheets and Ken
Malone have been doing the “Glory Tours”
all over Florida.
The Lord spoke to him and others that June
through September was a time for the end-
ing of a season. Friday night was the last
night of Rosh Hashana, the Jewish new
year. Thus, it is a celebration of a new year.
The Lord said it is a new era. The church is
about to go to a new level of glory. One of
Dutch Sheets prophetic friends said that the
church will begin to be taken seriously again
by secular society by the end of 2012. The
Lord has spoken to him and another
prophet that the Lord is going to accelerate
things. Harvest time is coming.
Dutch Sheets then spoke a powerful mes-
sage from the Word on God's timing, God's
shifting, and how God moves in our lives to
bring new seasons of reformation. He did a
breakdown of Greek and Hebrew words on
restoration, God's blowing of His breath,
and the gates that God takes us through.
His insights were amazing. He spoke from
Acts 3:19-21. He spoke about the deeper
meaning of the Gate Beautiful. It means
"right time" The lame man was at the right
time gate to receive a right time miracle to
launch the early church. Peter pulled the
man up through the gate into a new era.
The word for blowing the shofar means
crossing over. So when the shofar is blown
you cross over into the new. Many people
came with their shofars and they were
blown throughout the entire service. It was
spiritually electric. The Hebrew word “abar”
means crossing over. Joshua and the chil-
dren of Israel crossed the Red Sea into a
new era. Peter healed the lame man and
brought the Church into a new era. He also
shared about The Word coming from the
Greek words “spora” or “sperma”. He said
that God brings us to the right time gate, He
blows His breath into us and impregnates
us with his sperma word. We become preg-
nant with His will.

Do you think that we need revival? Now I’m
not talking about good services; we’ve had
many. I’m not even talking about a season
when God comes down with tremendous
blessings; we’ve experienced such and are
very thankful. What I’m talking about is an
outpouring of God’s Spirit in such magni-
tude that Jesus is revealed to masses of
people causing deep repentance and lives
to be changed. A move of God so powerful
and massive that it’s like a raging fire that is
sweeping over a vast area and can’t be con-
tained! The Bible gives several accounts of
such revivals. The Old Testament gives tes-
timony of revival outpourings that swept
over the whole nation of Israel. The New
Testament is also a wonderful source of in-
formation concerning revival. The Book of
Acts gives us several examples of what
happens when God lavishly pours out His
Holy Spirit. That, my friends, is revival, and
that’s what I believe we need today!
The Church in America has been blessed
with several revival outpourings throughout
its history: the Great Awakening, the 2nd
Great Awakening, the Azusa Street Revival,
and the Brownsville Revival are some of the
most well known. The Lord used revival out-
pourings to help America become a God-
honoring and God-fearing nation. Yet, you
would be hard pressed to find any trace of
such virtues in today’s American society.
These Christian virtues have been lost to
the darkness that America has presently
embraced. Those Americans who experi-
enced revival in the past were greatly af-
fected, but the present generation knows
not of what we speak! All the more reason
that we need to cry out to the Lord, “Oh, that
you would rend the heavens and come
down,” (Isaiah 64:1)
Seeing the need for our present generation
to experience a revival outpouring I find
great comfort in Joshua 4:23-24. In this pas-
sage we are told that the Lord saw the need
of the second generation of Israelites (who
had left Egypt but had not experienced
God’s awesome display of power) to experi-
ence God’s power for themselves. Let’s look
at this passage together:
Joshua 4:23–24 (NIV) — 23 For the LORD
your God dried up the Jordan before you
until you had crossed over. The LORD your
God did to the Jordan what he had done to
the Red Sea when he dried it up before us
until we had crossed over. 24 He did this so
that all the peoples of the earth might know
that the hand of the LORD is powerful and
so that you might always fear the LORD
your God.”
Let me draw your attention to three impor-
tant things that were accomplished when
the Lord miraculously enabled the 2nd
generation Israelites to cross over the Jor-
dan River.
⟩ The Israelites got to where they
needed to be (on the other side of the Jor-
dan river)
⟩ They had an experience that would
cause them to, “always fear the Lord”
⟩ The event became an international
testimony of the Lord’s mighty power (“so
that all the people of the earth might know
that the hand of the Lord is powerful”
Do you see the significance of this
passage for today? Through a mighty dis-
play of His presence and power the Lord got
the Israelites where they needed to be.
That’s exactly what happens when God
comes with revival. During revival Jesus
gets His Church back on track, spiritually
speaking. Miraculously He gets His Church
to where it needs to be!
Secondly, the Lord said that the Is-
raelites would never be the same, that their
experience was given to instill within them a
“fear of the Lord.” Brothers and sisters, if
there is anything missing in today’s world it
is a lack of fear for God. Even within the
Church there is a sad lack of this important
virtue. The birthing of Godly fear into the Is-
raelites that day at the Jordan River is much
like what happens to those who experience
true heaven-sent revival. During revival con-
viction of sin comes with intensity, the holi-
ness of God is revealed powerfully, and the
fear of God is heart rending. The fear of
God that was experienced in revivals of the
past drove masses of people to repentance,
and that’s what I believe will happen again
when this generation has a life changing en-
counter with Jesus Christ in revival.
But that’s not all. The Lord told the
Israelites that He was going to use the
miraculous events of their crossing of the
Jordan River as a testimony to the nations.
The Lord does the same during revival. The
revelation of Jesus and the proclamation of
His gospel during revival have no equal! As
I said earlier, it’s like a wild fire that can’t be
contained! During revival the nations
respond to the gospel message and
masses of people repent and give them-
selves wholeheartedly to Jesus! That’s what
has happened during revival outpourings in
the past and that is exactly what I believe
we can expect to happen once again. The
Lord revealed Himself in an awesome way
to the 2nd generation Israelties. I believe
that He wants to do the same for our gene-
ration. May our faith rise up and believe Him
to do so!

A new fire is spreading
through the city of Hialeah, Florida. God is
healing, restoring, and liberating the lives of
young adults! We are New Fire Generation,
the youth ministry from El Rey Jesus
Hialeah. A youth ministry that strives to
hunger and thirst for the Presence of God,
living out His Word, and being the light
wherever we go as we walk in the supernat-
ural power of God.
However, it wasn’t always like this. During
the year of 2011, New Fire Generation had
a struggling attendance of around 40 youth
every Friday. The youth who attended
lacked motivation and enthusiasm towards
God, it was as if they were forced by their
parents to come
to services,
rather than hav-
ing a burning
desire of their
own. The
church leaders
began to pray
fervently for the
youth, until finally a breakthrough came for
New Fire Generation. The first service of
2012, we jumped from 40 youth to 60 and
the second Friday service attendance
jumped from 60 to 93 youth. From just two
weeks, the attendance
doubled! Something
began to change; it
seemed a new fire
was beginning to
arise!
Now, in the past serv-
ices, the Glory of God
has fallen like never
before. Youth are giv-
ing their lives to Jesus
and surrendering all
they are to serve Him.
In a service from the
past, only around 2 or
3 youth would pass up
to the alter to receive Jesus as their Lord
and Savior but now youth are crying at the
altar committing themselves to God. Last
youth service we had more than 20 youth
given their lives to Christ! Hallelujah! There
was one service where a young girl had pills
in her pocket to commit suicide, but the
presence of God touched her life and inter-
vened. That very night she went to the rest-
room to throw away all the pills! We have
testimonies where a teacher told a young
man that he would not receive passing
grades and that not even God could change
things in his favor. But this youth believed
more in the faithfulness of His God than in
the words of his
teacher. In a matter
of days, the young
man was passing
the class with an A!
Also, every Tuesday,
the youth go out on
the streets to preach
the gospel. One
Tuesday, the youth
went out and saw a man in his mid twenties
walking his dog, at the moment he was
doing a drug transaction on the phone. One
of the youth went up to him, boldly without
any fear and began preaching to him and in-
stantly the man said “I don’t know what’s
happening, but I have goose bumps”. The
man began to cry; he was being touched by
the Holy Ghost, right there in the middle of
the street. God is touching the lost through
the youth of Hialeah, he is bringing salvation
to those who are in need!
Another Tuesday, another man at the age of
22 called some of the youth leaders to visit
him because he was tired of the drugs and
the partying; these things were not filling his
life. The team went to visit him and one of
the youth felt the Holy Spirit saying that
there was a sick family member and turns
out the mother of the young man had can-
cer. This was evidence that God was real,
showing him He was in control of His life
and wanted to bring liberation, healing and
change. Right there, the youth began to
pray for him and his mother and the young
man began to cry and said he could feel the
presence of God.
New Fire Generation isn’t just going out
Tuesdays and Fridays to seek God and do
His will, but on an everyday basis. One of
the youth was walking around selling choco-
lates to raise funds for our missionary trip to
Guatemala this summer and she stopped to
sell chocolate to an elderly woman. The
woman was telling the girl that she couldn’t
see well from one of her eyes. Right there,
this 17 year old girl did not hesitate and de-
clared healing upon the life of the elderly
woman. Instantly the women began to say “I
can see! I can see!” God is using all the
youth who are saying “Yes, God I am here! I
live for you!”
God is building up an army of youth in
Hialeah! New fire Generation is getting con-
sumed by the fire of God quickly. These
youth are releasing prophetic word, heal-
ings, words of science, and building a rela-
tionship with one another to walk toward
their vision; to expand the kingdom of God.
This is just the beginning for what God has
for New Fire Generation. He is lifting up a
generation passionately in love with Him
and willing to give it all to do His will here on
earth.

Prophecies: I am coming to a pregnant
region. It is the right time. We'll move
into the new season filled with His spirit.
We're going into a dimension we have
never been in. Florida is a state that will
penetrate the gate of the new era. We
will be caught up, pulled through the
right time gate. Florida is the trumpet of
God that will bring Revival to the Na-
tions. Florida is the state that will pull
the rest of the nation into the 3rd Great
Awakening. Florida is back on track. No
more will you be pushed back. Get
ready Florida. The King of Glory is com-
ing to this place.
I also went to another gathering fo-
cused on revival. November 3rd, 2011
Apostle Joel Laurore was in Miami
speaking about revival. You know I
must be with those who are believing
for revival. Here are the highlights of
that message.
Revival is Life. Revival in the strict
sense of the word is for the church; to
bring a dead church back to life. Re-
vival in the broad sense of the word is
to the whole world; to the nations. Re-
vival comes first to the church for the
world. Jesus is the principle of Revival.
Jesus is the Revival. Pentecost is the
story of Revival: Revival blast. The
church received Jesus, and the church
gave Jesus to the nations. The nations
accept and embrace Jesus: that is Re-
vival.
When Jesus came: Revival Publicity.
Jesus' life on earth: Revival Prophecy.
Jesus' death and resurrection: Revival
Possibility.
The school of Jesus: Revival Continuity.
Jesus' Ascension: Revival Certainty.
Please gather with other believers to
pray for and help facilitate REVIVAL.
AMEN!

Evangelist Anouse Paul, servant of God, re-
ceived the call from Amighty God Himself
when He appeared in a dream, standing on
top of a hill mandating her to begin mission-
ary work in Haiti. Effectively, without any re-
sistance, Sister Anouse started in June
1992, travelling to Haiti, ministering to the
need of the people, spiritually and socially.
From the initial beginning, Sister Anouse
and her helpers with her supporters have
established two schools in Haiti, educating,
feeding, and empowering the children of
Haiti. Furthermore, through True Heart
Ministry, they have paid for many children’s
schools,
married
couples
who were
shacking
together,
visit the
sick in the
hospitals
and the prisons, and do many social work in
Haiti.
The work has been supported by the
churches and by Sister Anouse’s personal
funds.
Her vision is to go further and to educate the
children and build as many orphanages as
possible.
To support or contact True Heart Ministries,
call 305-687-3392, or write to Evangelist
Anouse Paul - True Heart Ministries 12520
NW 17 Avenue - Miami, Florida 33167.
A vision that stemmed
from a call to help in Haiti,
Ms Renee Mortimer re-
sponded to that call and
begin to go to Gonaives
and Verette, Haiti to pro-
vide food, clean water ,
clothing, toys, school sup-
plies and much needed
goods to the Haitian brothers and sister.
This call to fight hunger has extended to a daily food pantry out of her home in Miami Gar-
dens, Florida giving out food not only in Haiti but also in the United States.
Effectively, a storage facility has been built in the back yard of Ms. Mortimer in order to store
fresh vegetables, meat, fruits, canned foods that she picked up from the Food Bank and dis-
tribute them to the community; to anyone who wants to receive. Indeed, this daily pantry is
open to the whole community.
Whether you would like to support this great work or simply receive fresh food, contact Ms.
Renee Mortimer at 305-623-1174 or 786-352-2441.

BLESSED TO BE A BLESSING!
Rev. Laverne Ramsey- Women’s Discipleship President, Church of
God, Florida Cocoa Office
What an awesome privilege it is to be alive at
this period in time. We may look around and
say that these are challenging times, but even
in the midst of our trying times we can attest to
the fact that God has been good to us, God
has blessed us.
When things around us seem to go con-
trary to the way that we would like, we
must begin to count our blessings. We
have to realize that our worst day is some-
body else’s best day. What I am saying is
that we have to remember how good God
has already been to us. When difficulties
come we sometimes get tunnel vision. We only see our
difficulties and the negative circumstances that sur-
round that difficulty.
However, in the middle of these challenging times we have to
say like David said “I will bless the Lord at all times, and his
praise shall continually be in my mouth.” Moreover, David
said, “My soul shall make her boast in the Lord, the humble
shall hear thereof and be glad. Oh magnify the Lord with me
and let us exalt his name forever”. Why was it that David felt
that even on his bad days that his soul could boast in the
Lord? David felt this way because David knew that even on
his worst days that God was a faithful God. David relied on
the past performance of God, because of the consistent track
record of the abiding love of God. David had a relationship
with God that told him that God could be trusted to deliver
him, that God was faithful to bring him out.
David knew, like you and I should know that al-
though we may face our challenges that God has
been good to us and that God has blessed us.
Things may not be as we would like them to be,
but we are still blessed above many. Being alive is
a blessing, having our health is a blessing, being
surrounded with family and people who love us is a
blessing. Having our basic needs met is a blessing.
I was blessed on January 12th, 2010 when I had
the opportunity to travel to Haiti on a mission’s trip.
I was blessed that God directed our group to travel
in the opposite direction from where the most dev-
astating part of the destruction was taking place. I
was blessed above many that sadly did not make it
through the earthquake or suffered devastating
loss of family and possessions.
The question is raised why was I blessed? The answer is simply but
profound; I was blessed to be a blessing. After processing the fact
that I was there for this catastrophic event, I had to come to the
conclusion that God had a purpose in sparing my life. I have been
blessed to be a blessing. Now I ask you the question, when you
begin to think about the many blessing that God has placed in your
life, it should first lead you to give thanks. Along with giving thanks,
you should begin to recognize that God has a purpose for blessing
my life. The purpose is simple, but profound. You have been
blessed to be a blessing.
As we in America celebrate this season of Thanksgiving, as we rec-
ognize and celebrate the goodness of God in our lives. Let us not
forget to share the blessing that God has given us and give to those
who may not be as blessed as we are. You have been blessed to
be a blessing!

TT H E D E V I L I S A F R A I D O F M E !
Several years ago I had a very remarkable
dream. Like many dreams it had an aspect
of unreality to it, but the underlying truth in it
is just that -- Truth! I dreamt that I had two
bodies. One was a normal sized human
body. The other was about three or four
inches high. The small ‘me’ was standing on
the big ‘me’s’ stomach. I was talking to
someone else and I said, “You know, he's
afraid of me.” - speaking
of the devil. “Do you know why he's afraid of
me? I'll show you.” I opened a large wooden
box and pulled out a gleaming silver sword!
I thought about that dream for several days.
The devil is afraid of me! I'm only 5 feet tall
and I probably don't look very formidable,
but the devil is afraid of ME! Why? Because
resident inside of me is the gleaming two-
edged sword of the Word of God, which
says that I am more than a conqueror, Ro-
mans 8:37; that Jesus in me is greater than
the devil who inhabits this world, 1 John 4:4;
that Jesus came to destroy the works of the
devil and that I have inherited His power, 1
John 3:8, Romans 8:16, 17, John 14:12b.
When I was in England I heard a tremen-
dous story. Years ago a missionary arrived
in a certain part of Africa to begin a work.
One day he decided to travel from one out-
post to another.
The missionary came to a place in the road
where it curved around a rock formation.
Suddenly his horse stopped and refused to
go forward. The missionary assumed that
the horse must besensing some danger, so
he got down from the horse and carefully
peered around the rocks. There in the mid-
dle of the road was a very large snake.
The snake was coiled and his head was
under a rock. The missionary was filled with
fear. He stood looking at the snake for some
time trying to think of a solution to the prob-
lem.
He could not take another road; this was the
only way to the outpost station. He could not
sneak past the snake that he supposed was
sleeping under the rock. And he definitely
could not return home in defeat. His only op-
tion was to kill the snake. His whole body
was overcome with fear. He thought the best
way to kill the snake was to hurl a rock onto
the top of the rock the snake's head was
under which would crush it. But - what if he
missed? Slowly and carefully he chose a
rock and positioned himself in what he con-
sidered the best place. Gripped with fear he
raised the rock over his head and threw it
down. It hit the rock - and broke into pieces.
The rock and the snake remained exactly as
they were before.
Breathlessly the missionary looked more
closely and suddenly realized that the snake
was already dead! Someone had come be-
fore him, found the snake coiled in the mid-
dle of the road and had crushed its head
with a rock and left it as the missionary had
found it.
The missionary at first felt terribly embar-
rassed and foolish. He had been so fright-
ened of a dead snake. Then he began to
laugh at himself remembering how he had
trembled as he readied himself to kill a dead
snake. Suddenly he stopped as he heard
the voice of his God saying, ''Many of my
people are afraid of a dead snake. I passed
this way long ago and destroyed Satan's
power, but there are still those
who fear his lifeless form."
How many of us are afraid of a dead snake?
Do we forget that we possess the gleaming
silver sword? Is that sword sheathed and
ready at our sides or is it lying tarnished and
dull, inaccessible? A.W. Tozer said, “I talk
back to the devil!” He knew where the vic-
tory was. He knew who the Victor was.
Sometimes I am assailed by trials and temp-
tations. All my feelings say I am defeated.
But sitting down I take my Bible and remind
myself of my position in Christ and the mar-
velous things He has promised and the awe-
some power that is available to me. I take
up my silver sword and begin to wield it
against the enemy. And I discover again just
how afraid he is of me! How wonderful it is
to see my
troubles slink away.
1 Peter 5:8 says, ''Be sober, be vigilant; be-
cause your adversary the devil as a roaring
lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may
devour." That great missionary-explorer,
David Livingstone, spoke quite contemptu-
ously of lions. He said the lion should not be
called the king of the jungle. If a lion is met
by day it slouches off. It never attacks a man
boldly but only does so when it can pounce
on him unseen, in
the night or from behind. How like Satan.
Satan uses such sly and insidious tricks to
lure us into sin. He attacks with his greatest
fears at night. When met head-on he
slouches away. He is no king.
In Pilgrim's Progress as Christian proceeded
on his journey, he approached the castle
Beautiful seeking lodging for the night. As he
looked towards the gate he saw two fierce-
looking lions. Then he was afraid and
thought he would go back because only
death was before him. But the porter of the
lodge, whose name was Watchful, saw him
hesitate and called out, “Is thy strength so
small? Fear not the lions, for they are
chained and are placed there for trial of faith
and for discovery of those who have none.
No hurt shall come unto thee.”
The same call goes out to you and I. ”Fear
not the lion, for he is chained.”

The Meaning of AspirinThey can be found in just about every medicine cabinet. Millions take them without a second thought. One each day is being recommended to prevent heart
attacks! What are they? They are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
How will you explain to your children the differ-
ence between a good drug and a bad drug?
You may know these drugs by other
names such as aspirin or ibuprofen. Millions
are spent advertising their brand names, in-
cluding Advil®, Motrin® and Nuprin®.
As an office interested in natural health care
solutions, we see two distinct dangers that
some of our practice members overlook.
The first danger is from the adverse reac-
tions to these drugs. The Centers for Dis-
ease Control and Prevention report that
about 75,000 people each year in the U.S.
are hospitalized from adverse reactions to
these convenient, over-the-counter drugs.
About 10% of those die. That may seem
like a small danger for the convenient relief
NSAIDs offer, unless you or a family mem-
ber become a statistic!
We think an even greater danger is the
philosophical implications of taking these
drugs. Aches or pains that prompt their use
are warning signs. Like flashing lights that
we see when driving, warning signs are to
be taken seriously. They protect us. They
serve a purpose. Popping a couple of pills
to quiet our body’s cry for attention shows a
profound disrespect for this miraculous, self-
healing body we live in!
Worse, using NSAIDs often reflects the be-
lief that being healthy is about how you feel.
But numbing the “alarm bells” your body is
sending doesn’t make you healthy. You may
fool your body but you’re not fooling your
children. What do you teach them when you
take drugs to “feel better” or to make the
pain of everyday living go away? How will
you explain the difference between a “good”
drug and a “bad” drug?
NSAIDs may be convenient. They may save
time. They may even allow you to ignore
your body for awhile. But there is a price to
be paid. Maybe not with stomach bleeding,
liver damage or some other side effect. But
a price, nonetheless.
Instead of reaching for a drug, reach for the
phone and call our office. Let us find the un-
derlying cause and reduce it with a program
of safe and natural chiropractic adjustments
that honor the wisdom of your body.

God Alone!Only God can take credit for the extraordinary life of Junior Tucker!
Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Junior began
singing at the age of 5. In 2 years, he be-
came a household name in his home coun-
try and attained his first #1 song, “Happy”,
followed by “Which Side of the Coin”, “Some
Guys have all the Luck”, and “It’s a Small,
Small World”. Junior began travelling and
performing locally and internationally. With-
out a shadow of doubt, everyone who saw
Junior perform knew that being on stage
was what he was born to do.
With tremendous success, he navigated his
way through three international recording
contracts which have literally taken him
across the world. He has toured throughout
the United States, United Kingdom, Japan,
Mexico, and the Caribbean. At 12 years, he
was signed to Island Records which pro-
duced the hit song “One of the Poorest Peo-
ple”. At 14, he landed a recording contract
with Geffen Records USA which turned out
“Mr. Telephone Man”. At 23, he signed to
Virgin Records UK which produced hits like
“Don’t Test” and “16”. In 1991, Junior was
released from Virgin Records and returned
to his roots to pursue a career in Jamaican
Dancehall Music. A slew of hits ensued,
“Love of a Lifetime” and “Move Along” to
mention a few.
Dancehall brought its accolades, number
one songs, singer of the year titles and a
high profile lifestyle. As time progressed, his
life became far from “Happy”. Despite so
called, “Fortune and fame”, behind the
scenes, his life was in pieces. It was spent
chasing the next hit song to stay on top of
the charts, all in an attempt to fill the void he
felt in his life.
In 1996, the death of his father and the birth
of his first child led to a period of searching
for answers to a deeper meaning to life. He
investigated various religions but still no an-
swers. He penned songs like “I Pray” and
“Praise His Name”, having no true knowl-
edge of the God he was singing about.
In October 1997, bombarded by religion, a
distorted childhood and being plagued by
nightmares, Junior cried out one night “God,
if you are real, show me who you REALLY
are and allow me to sleep!” The Living God
answered; he slept as never before. He
woke up completely rested, knowing that
Jesus Christ was his Lord and Savior. He
publicly confessed his Christian faith that
week at a gospel concert in Kingston and
soon after was baptized.
Since that night when Jesus met him, Junior
has not returned to his secular career. He
simply states, “There is nothing to go back
to!.” Coming into a personal relationship with
Jesus Christ has brought clarity to his once
hazed purpose and destiny. Was he still
born to sing and be on stage? Definitely, but
now to the Glory of God! To his life�God
has given direction, and to his gift�God has
given purpose.
Junior, his wife Trudy and their 4 girls,
Chyna, Zoe, Paige and Laila now reside in
Clewiston, Florida. For 9 years, they served
in the ministry of New Harvest Church and
Destiny World Outreach, which God used to
help mold, both the man and his ministry.
Through Junior Tucker Ministries, he not
only sings but preaches the Gospel and
conducts praise and worship seminars. In
addition to new territories, God has taken
him back to many of the nations where he
once performed as a secular artist to now
win souls for the Kingdom of God and en-
courage other Christian believers.
His fifth Reggae Gospel Album titled “Jour-
ney – A Decade of Islands Worship” is a
combination of the best of Junior’s last 4
Gospel Albums in addition to 3 brand new
tracks including “King For A Lifetime” and
“Rest Upon Me”. As you guessed, this was
quite difficult to put together :) and as always
you can expect a top class production, great
foot-stomping beats and the presence of
God as you enter into “Island Worship”!

Concerning Spiritual Gifts, 1 Corinthians 12:7-10,28 (NASB) says,
“But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the com-
mon good. For to one is given the word of wisdom through the
Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same
Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of
healing by the one Spirit, and to another the effecting of miracles,
and to another prophecy, and to another the distinguishing of spirits,
to another various kinds of tongues, and to another the interpreta-
tion of tongues�And God has appointed in the church, first apos-
tles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of
healings, helps, administrations, various kinds of tongues.”
Where does that leave Spoken Word Poets, Comedians, Radio Per-
sonalities, Dancers, Thespians, Writers, Rappers, Filmmakers,
Painters, Deejays, Cartoonists, Fashion Designers and so many
others who are in the Entertainment Ministry? Under which category
would these artists even be listed according to scripture?
For many reading this article, the first problem lies in the word “en-
tertainment.” Generally, in the church, it is believed that if an artist
who claims to value ministry is also concerned with entertainment
then their goal to minister is somehow undermined. It is often as-
sumed that if entertainment is a component of a Christian’s artistry
then there must exist some other motive contrary to the purposes of
spreading the Gospel, namely fame and fortune. The
Church also seems to take issue with the word,
“performing” when it comes to ministry.
Historically, arts and entertainment have found their
place in society as powerful statements and symbols
of socio-political issues and for a time, even Faith.
Consider the great cathedrals or the Sistine
Chapel to name a few. Somewhere
- along the line, there has
‘ been a huge gap in terms
. of the influence that
. f aith has in art. I can’t
. help but think that this
h has much to do with
c church-goers that let
tradition and
legalism in-
hibit the cre-
ative gifts
that God has
placed in The
Body of
Christ. It is
much easier
for us to di-
gest the
“spiritual relevance” of the organ player or the choir but less toler-
ance or appreciation is given to more contemporary artistic giftings
like the ones listed in the beginning of this article. When we deny
God’s ability to use these gifts, we deny His very power. Could not
Spoken Word poets, comedians, or rappers offer a word of knowl-
edge, prophecy, or utilize their call to teach through these art forms?
How about the painters, filmmakers and actors? Can they not ex-
hibit strong messages of Faith and wisdom through their work? Are
Fashion Designers not in a position to print an inspired message to
evangelize the Gospel?
It has been said that “art imitates life.” There is a local South Florida
performing arts ministry called Island Faith Ministries. Their motto is
“Where Art and Life Imitate Christ.” This is the light in which enter-
tainment ministry should be seen. Matthew 7:16 (NASB) informs us,
“You will know them by their fruits.” If the artist’s life is wholly de-
voted to Christ then naturally, their art will produce the fruits of the
Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23 NASB). We should not reject the artist
based on our preference or what our personal “traditions” allow but
embrace entertainment ministry based on the fruit it produces. The
comedian, for example, can bring forth joy through laughter and
evoke thoughts that challenge the Faith of the listener. Furthermore,
1 Corinthians goes on to say, “As it is, there are many parts, but one
body. The eye cannot say to the hand, ‘I don’t need you!’ And the
head cannot say to the feet, ‘I don’t need you (1 Corinthians 12:20-
21 NASB)!’ It is our job to encourage our fellow brothers and sisters
and value their gifts as tools for the Kingdom. With God at the fore-
front, there can be ministry in the performance and entertainment in
the Gospel message.
Can Entertainment and Ministry Co-Exist?

The Three-Legged
Race Called Marriage
Ever been in one of those three-legged races
where someone ties your leg to another person's
leg? If both of you don't put the tied-together leg
forward at the same time, you'll be awkwardly
plodding along at best and eating dirt at worst. You
have to work together.
Money and marriage is the same way. If you are
pulling in opposite directions and not talking to
each other about what you want and need, then
you'll end up flat on your financial faces. That
starts the path to bitterness and divorce.
Money is a sensitive subject to lots of people. The
number-one cause of divorce in America today is
money fights and money problems. But the good
news is, if money is the thing that we fight about most, then agree-
ing on money can completely turn a relationship around.
The best way to break the ice is with a budget. When you make a
spending plan, it's more than just numbers on a page. Each person
has a reason for putting those numbers there. They reflect what is
important to that person.
When you see what your spouse wants to put the money toward,
it's a great opportunity to communicate about it. When starting this
conversation, remember that no one is right or wrong. The talking is
simply about telling the other person what is important to you. No
smart-aleck remarks or accusations allowed. Everything is on the
table for both people.
On that note, a mature married couple compromises. One member
doesn't always get his or her way. If a husband and wife want to go
to different restaurants, they sit down and talk it out. Maybe they go
to a third eatery or agree to alternate (she gets her choice tonight,
he gets his next time). Either way, a compromise
is reached.
That's the sign of a couple who has their act to-
gether and will win at whatever they do. Why?
Because they are willing to give. They are willing
to work together. Success is found by people like
that.
Tonight, have a heart-to-heart talk about money
priorities for each of you, and make a budget with
your spouse. The Gazelle Budget Lite is a great
place to start—just plug in your monthly income,
and it gives you recommended spending percent-
ages in categories like food, transportation, hous-
ing and others. It's a quick and easy way to get
started together.
Once you know where you both stand, you can start to work on get-
ting there and, if necessary, to compromise in order to reach a goal
that both of you like. Doing this will require sacrifice, but it will lead
to a level of trust, intimacy and calm in your marriage that you never
knew. It's worth it, and then some.

"Is Giving a
Child a Chris-
tian Education
Important?"
Answer: For believers in Jesus Christ, the
question of whether or not a Christian edu-
cation is important seems obvious. The an-
swer would be an emphatic “Yes!” So why
ask the question? It’s because the question
comes from a myriad of perspectives within
the Christian faith. Maybe the question
should be “who is responsible for introduc-
ing my child to Christianity?” or “should my
child’s education be done in a public, pri-
vate or home-based system?” There is no
shortage of opinions on this topic, some
very strongly held and endlessly and emo-
tionally debated.
As we begin to search for a biblical per-
spective, we come to the definitive Old Tes-
tament passage on educating children
found in Deuteronomy 6:5-8: "Love the
LORD your God with all your heart and with
all your soul and with all your strength.
These commandments that I give you today
are to be upon your hearts. Impress them
on your children. Talk about them when you
sit at home and when you walk along the
road, when you lie down and when you get
up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and
bind them on your foreheads.” Hebrew his-
tory reveals that the father was to be dili-
gent in instructing his children in the ways
and words of the Lord for their own spiritual
development and well-being. The message
in this passage is repeated in the New Tes-
tament where Paul exhorts parents to raise
children in the "nurture and admonition of
the Lord" (Ephesians 6:4). Proverbs 22:6
also tells us to "train a child in the way he
should go, and when he is old he will not
turn from it." Training includes not only for-
mal education, but also the first instructions
parents give to a child, i.e., his early educa-
tion. This training is designed to plant the
child firmly on the foundation upon which
his life is based.
As we move to the subject of formal educa-
tion, however, there are misunderstandings
that need to be addressed. First, God is not
saying that only parents are to educate chil-
dren as many would assert, and, second,
He is not saying that public education is bad
and we are to educate our children only in
Christian schools or home schools. The
principle found throughout all of Scripture is
that of ultimate responsibility. God never di-
rects parents to avoid education outside of
the home; in fact, it isn’t even addressed.
So, to say that the only “biblical” method of
formal education is home schools or Chris-
tian schools would be adding to God’s
Word, and we want to avoid using the Bible
to validate our own opinions. Just the oppo-
site is true: we want to base our opinions on
the Bible. We also want to avoid the argu-
ment that only “trained” teachers are capa-
ble of educating our children. Again, the
issue is that of ultimate responsibility, which
belongs to parents.
The issue in Scripture is not what type of
general education our children receive, but
through what paradigm that information is to
be filtered. For example, a homeschooler
can be given a “Christian” education but fail
in life because he or she does not truly
know the God of Scripture and does not
truly understand scriptural principles. Like-
wise, a child educated publicly can grow to
understand the fallacies of the world’s wis-
dom by seeing its failure through God’s
Word which has been diligently taught to
him at home. Information is being sifted
through a biblical lens in both cases, but
true spiritual understanding only exists in
the latter. Similarly, a student can attend a
Christian school but never grow to under-
stand God in an intimate, personal relation-
ship. Ultimately, it is the parents who are
responsible for shaping and molding the
child in a way that will succeed in accom-
plishing true spiritual education.
In Hebrews 10:25, God gives Christians the
command, “Let us not give up meeting to-
gether, as some are in the habit of doing,
but let us encourage one another—and all
the more as you see the Day approaching.”
The body of Christ is an integral part of the
education of children, assisting parents in
nurturing and educating children in spiritual
matters. Exposure to something outside of
the family structure, in this case sound bibli-
cal teaching from church and Sunday
school, is good and necessary.
So, no matter what type of institution of
learning we choose, parents are ultimately
responsible for their children’s spiritual edu-
cation. A Christian school teacher can be
wrong, a pastor and Sunday school teacher
can be wrong, and parents can be wrong on
any particular viewpoint theologically. So, as
we teach our children spiritual things, they
need to understand that the only source of
absolute truth is the Scripture (2 Timothy
3:16). Therefore, perhaps the most impor-
tant lesson we can teach our children is to
follow the example of the Bereans who “ex-
amined the Scriptures every day to see if
what Paul said was true” (Acts 17:11), and
to test all things they are taught—from
whatever source—against the Word of God
(1 Thessalonians 5:21).

After putting in a contract to purchase one of the most beautiful church buildings in the
Miami Shores area in Florida for 3.6 million dollars, the deal did not go through for Mount
Olives Church of God, the New Jerusalem.
Consequently, Pastor Jean O Laurore and his committee went into a building or land buying
pursuit, just to come back around to the same building and buying it for 1.2 million dollars.
(Give God thanks in all things [the good, the bad, and the ugly]- for all things work togetherfor good to those who love the Lord- Rom. 8:28)
Now that the building is in their possession; M.O.C. is in need of your help to bring the build-
ing up to date before occupying it for worship services and for the work of the Lord. It will
take over a million dollars for the complete restoration.
This beautiful building is on the corner of 87th Street and N.E. 2nd Avenue in the City of El
Portal (near Miami Shores), Florida.
To respond to this great need, you can make deposits to Mount Olives Church Building Re-
pair Trust Fund at Peoples Credit Union, Account number 901677.
For more information, please contact the pastors: Senior Pastor, Jean O. Laurore, Junior
Pastor, Jerome Volcy, and Assistant Pastor, Edlin Edouard, 786-338-5291.
Mount Olives has a 501 (c) 3 certificate; therefore, your contribution is tax
