HERE IT IS THE NEW BUILDING- "We Got Next"

Sunday Evening was an exciting one as CWC Manteca opened their new building. The feeling that I had when I walked into the new building was as if a new baby had been born because it has been a process of expectation for some time now. As I saw a red carpet rolled out for people to walk into the building I felt like God is rolling out the red carpet for the entire CWC family to reach the world. Here are some words from Pastor Dan concerning the new building in Manteca and CWCSJ.

"I want you to know "We Got Next". When someone is waiting to play in basketball they yell we got next. It is a statement of position & readiness. Now that Manteca has their building, "We Got Next!" We got the next miracle, the next healing, the next breakthrough!"

Below are some pics from the grand opening. The pics are from my phone so the quality is not great, gives you more of a reason to see it in person. Also if you scroll down the CWC Mission Video is posted. This video I have used already at work to show others the heart of CWC, people are impressed and challenged to come check us out feel free to share at work. You are part of big picture, a big plan, a big purpose, get ready! Be blessed, be encouraged, be challenged
"We Got Next!"

S – When the LORD began to speak by Hosea, the LORD said to Hosea: “Go, take yourself a wife of harlotry and children of harlotry, for the land has committed great harlotry by departing from the LORD.” - Hosea 1:2

O – I like how it says that the “Lord began to speak BY Hosea”. Not necessarily THROUGH Hosea, but BY him. By his actions. By what he did & what happened in his life. People probably were confused by Hosea's choice of a wife in a harlot named Gomer. But there was a purpose to all of it. God was speaking through what Hosea did.

A – I notice how symbolic and essentially poetic Hosea 1 is. From it’s style & it’s message, I understand 3 things about God:
1) God is so smart.
From the symbolic, intelligent workings of the passage & event, I see God’s amazing intellect, so detailed and always revolutionary. I just love thinking about how incredibly smart God is.
2) Because God is so smart, I must trust His plan.
I wonder how Hosea felt about taking a harlot-wife. God will ask me to do things that may be uncomfortable for me. He’ll ask me to do things that others may not understand. But I know from this story, other stories, and my story, that God never does anything just because He thinks it would be entertaining. He is always trying to accomplish something: whether it's teaching a lesson or revealing Himself, all that He does has a point! No matter how weird, confusing, or incomprehensible that thing is that God’s asked me to do, I have to do it with confidence, knowing that He has a purpose in ALL things He asks of me.
3) Because God is so smart & His plans are perfect, He will use all things for His glory.
That harlot was a harlot for a purpose. God used her greatly. This is a basic message we hear all the time, yet still holds true and amazes me every time I think of it: God uses anything, any situation, any one (even a harlot), for His glory & for His purposes. My story, my life & my struggles are going to be used for the Lord’s purposes. Period.

P – Lord, thank You for revealing more about Yourself to me. I love and admire Your intellect, I thank You that You give orders for a reason, and I praise You because You use even the junkiest junk in our lives for a divine purpose. Even when I can’t understand why You do what You do (and I usually can’t…), You have the complete picture in mind. Thank You my Lord, my God, my Friend, Forgiver, Lover, Savior. I love You.

"Defining Moments" Good Isn't Good Enough

When Nicodemus questioned Jesus about spiritual matters, Jesus gave him a brand new philosophy to ponder. You must be born again. Jesus explained that the only way to receive eternal life is to be born again spiritually by putting your trust in Him.

All of us experience defining moments that shape how we view life. But if those experiences lead us to believe inaccurate things about God, we'll never know intimacy with Him.
