The coronavirus outbreak has now spread to 49 states. The virus has been reported in more than 2,700 people, and at least 58 patients have died. The only state not reporting cases is West Virginia. North Carolina’s governor signed executive order closing schools for two weeks, making assemblies of over 100 illegal for 30 days, really changing how we worship as Church community.

Did the coronavirus shutdown the church?

There are times when the most profound direction from God is capture in a simple word . . . Go!

When The ELC was worshipping in Berewick Elementary God told me we would expand our ministry in a second location. This location would inform the community that we are committed to service and here to stay. By faith and obedience we moved into our Ayrsley location. Trust, I did not want to hold worship services in Ayrsley, but I submitted to the will of God. By faith I asked God for a new worship center where we could worship freely without the challenges of packing and unpacking a mobile trailer. We yearned for a place where I focus would be on worship, sanctuary filled with miracles, and where we could grow a community of believers committed to expanding the Kingdom of God through great faith. God saw our faith and blessed us with our new worship center at Kennedy Middle School. We will worship next Sunday, February 2nd, in our new worship center. We will launch The “new” ELC 3.0 Sunday, April 5, 2020 with an awesome Grand Opening.

Jesus healed the paralysed man not only to show others that He was Immanuel, to teach people how to prophesy, and to encourage the people. In 2020, God wants to awe people by blessing you with a miracle when you display great faith. We have authority to prophesy, teach, and do miracles under the anointing of God, because he gave man this authority.

Matthew 9:1-8 NIV ~ Jesus Forgives and Heals a -_Paralyzed Man _Jesus witness their faith _Jesus then forgave their sins _Leaders/teachers hated on him (called Him a liar) _Jesus had faith in Himself (God in Him) by _Healed paralyzed man _Both Jesus and man believed they had authority to heal and be healed, respectively

Keep in mind these facts: One. You are engaged in an understating of major importance to you. To be sure of success, you must have plans which are faultless. Two. You must have the advantage of the experience, education, native ability and imagination of other minds. This is in harmony with the methods followed by every person who has accumulated a great fortune.

There is a difference between wishing for something and being ready to receive it. No one is ready for a thing until he believes he can acquire it. The state of mind must be belief, not mere hope or wish. Open-mindedness is essential for belief. Closed minds do not inspire faith, courage, and belief. Faith is the starting point of all accumulation of blessings.
