1 John 5:14-15 (KJV): 14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. The confidence, or assurance that we have in Christ is that whatever we ask God that’s aligned with His Word, then we can believe Him for it and know that we will receive it. Again, the Bible reads in John 14:13-14 (KJV): 13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. Asking anything in Jesus name means to ask in the authority of Jesus name in that we have been given the power-of-attorney meaning that when we act in the authority of Jesus it’s as if Jesus was doing it Himself. We have been given the authority to do the works of Christ, Matthew 16:18-19 (KJV): 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. If I can find out what the Word of God says about any situation in my life then I can believe God for that and in expectation look forward to receiving which is what His Word teaches, Mark 11:22-24 (KJV): 22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. This is the confidence that every Christian has access to in Christ, but whether we walk in it or not is our choice. In His Service, Pastor Jeffery A. Muchison Scripture for Sunday, 3-23-25 1 Peter 2:24 (KJV) 24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

Father, thank you for your Word, for faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. I pray that your Spirit will fill every brother and sister right now. Let your very presence be manifested in a tangible way. I pray that the peace that passes understanding would overtake your people now in the name of Jesus. Satan, you must obey the authority of the name of Jesus. I command you now, in Jesus name, you, your sickness, and all that manifests because of you, to go from this place now. I command bodies to be made whole in Jesus name. I command cancer to go, in Jesus name. I command blood disorders to become normal in Jesus name. I command mental disorders to be sound in Jesus name. I command organs to function properly. I command blind eyes to open in Jesus name. I command that crack demon to loose it’s hold off of that young man or young lady.

I command every sickness, and every disease to go, in Jesus name. Amen! In His Service, Pastor Jeffery A. Muchison Scripture for Sunday, 3-16-25 Luke 9:1 (KJV) 1 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. Announcements for Sunday, 3-16-25 CCC will have Bible study Monday, 3-17-25, and 3-24-25 at 7:30 p.m. CCC will not have Bible study Monday, 3-31-25, but will upload the video for the Bible study to CCC’s website.

Proverbs 3:9-10 (KJV): 9 Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: 10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. To honor the Lord with our substance is the fruit of our reverence and respect. When you treat someone as if they are of value to you then they are of value to you. 1 Timothy 5:17 (KJV): 17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. The word honor here in 1 Tim. 5:17 is from the Greek word time, pronounced teemay, and it means a value that is money, paid or valuables. Esteem (especially of the highest degree) or the dignity itself:- honour, precious, price, some. Honor is a word that is becoming extinct in this generation, but still, as students of the Word, it is key to receiving the blessings of God. Ephesians 6:1-3 (KJV): 1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. 2 Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) 3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. God’s Word promises longevity to them that honor their father and mother. This is what Abraham teaches us when he was returning from war to free his nephew Lot in Gen. 14. Abraham met the high priest Melchizedec. Melchizedec blessed Abraham and the Bible says that Abraham paid tithes unto Melchizedec. There are types and shadows going on in this exchange. Abraham represented the Levitical priesthood and the law that were in his loins, Heb. 7:9, 10. Melchizedec was a type of Christ, Ps. 110:4. Abraham honored Melchizedec when he gave tithes unto him, Heb. 7:4-7, revealing that the ministry of Christ is a more excellent ministry than was the law of Moses, a better covenant with better promises. And you mean to tell me that I can’t lift my hands and tell God thank you? The devil is a liar.  In His Service, Pastor Jeffery A. Muchison Scripture for Sunday, 3-9-25 Hebrews 5:9-10 (KJV) 9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; 10 Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.

Todays Pastor’s Pen is dedicated to CCC’s youth and the youth leaders who work with them. Today is youth Sunday, since our first youth Sunday after the pandemic was last first Sunday, and I am excited to see these youth of CCC getting more involved in the ministry. They bring fresh energy and excitement to the ministry. We should instill in them as much of the teachings of Jesus Christ we can while we have them with us. They are precious in the sight of the Lord and should be precious in our sight as well. God have trusted us to be responsible for their spiritual, mental, and physical wellbeing. At one point the Lord warned that it would be better for a man to tie a millstone around his neck and jump into the water and commit suicide than to offend one of these little ones, Matt. 18:6. Practically in every worship service one or more of the youth come up to me sharing their ideas with me or just to say, “Hey Pastor,” but not a service goes by that I don’t interact with them, sometimes several of the youth at one time. I also would like to take this opportunity to encourage all of CCC’s youth to go on CCC’s website at cccwaverly.org and when you come into the home page just scroll down to the bottom of the page and there you will find where you can sign up on our website and that way you will have another way by which you can communicate with myself, Pastor Muchison, and share your ideas or just to shoot-the-breeze with me. Just another way of reaching out to the youth and letting them know that you are loved and appreciated. Also, to all of the youth leaders, your leadership is obvious by the success of CCC’s youth program. Thank you all for your sacrifice and commitment. You have done a great job keeping it all together. In His Service, Pastor Jeffery A. Muchison Scripture for Sunday, 3-2-25 Matthew 18:6 (KJV) 6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

As we progress into this year of 2025 the Word of God is clear concerning the times that we find ourselves in. It’s a time of prophecy coming to pass. The outpouring of the Holy Spirit in this generation is a sign of the times. The young men seeing visions, the elder men dreaming dreams, servants and handmaidens receiving the fullness of the Holy Spirit is all coming to pass and this present-day Church is in the midst of all that God is doing in this hour. The plans and purposes of the kingdom do not hinge on the plans and purposes of the world. God’s will shall be done on earth as it is in Heaven. His will for them that believe shall be done and our part is to stay focused on the kingdom. We walk by faith and not by sight regardless of current events. We are blessed. Our children are blessed. Our spouses are blessed. Our families are blessed. Our fellow Christians are blessed. That was the children’s bread under the Old Covenant, Deut. 28:1-14. Yet, we’ve obtained a better covenant with better promises in Christ, Heb. 8:6. The Word is our lamp and light. The Holy Spirit is our guide. Most importantly our personal relationship with God, our fellowship, communion, coupled with prayer, praise, and worship, all of which ensures our understanding of the times, plans, and purposes of God for our generation. As we remain steadfast, unmovable, and always abounding in the work of the Lord, we are reminded of these things while also keeping our loved ones, fellow saints, neighbors, and friends, and even our enemies, lifted up in prayer and believing God that in spite of what it looks like, we don’t walk by what it looks like but by what the Word of God says. Isaiah 55:11 (KJV): 11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.  In His Service, Pastor Jeffery A. Muchison Scripture for Sunday, 2-23-25 Matthew 28:20 (KJV) 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Announcements for Sunday, 2-23-25 CCC will have Bible study Monday, 2-24-25, at 7:30 p.m. For the month of March CCC will have Bible study Monday, 3-3-25, 3-17-25, and 3-24-25 at 7:30 p.m. CCC will not have Bible study Monday, 3-10-25, and 3-31-25, but will upload the video for the Bible study to CCC’s website.

Matthew 5:13-16 (KJV) 13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. 14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Notice that Jesus did not say that the Church is the way by which men must be saved. Jesus is the only name under Heaven by which men must be saved. He did not say if you confess with your mouth the Church, but if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in you heart that God raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. God never commanded the Church to save anybody. Of course we want men to be saved, but only God can save men. What He commanded the Church to do is be the salt of the earth, that city on a hill, and the light of the world. To be salt is to use our influence to encourage others to Christ and be that example before them so that they see God in us. To be the light is to be living epistles, living examples of what and how a Christian ought to live. A city on a hill is letting the world see your example in Christ, by your actions. The Church is commissioned to go into the world and preach the gospel, Matt. 28:18-20; to be a witness, Acts 1:8; and to be a light, Matt. 5:13-16. We can’t save anybody but like many of those who we were influenced by, we can be light to this generation. Ours is to be an influence, nudging men to Christ as they see our example and His goodness. Light in darkness leads people to salvation. We can’t save anyone, but we can lead them to the One who can. In His Service, Pastor Jeffery A. Muchison Scripture for Sunday, 2-16-25 Mark 16:20 (KJV) 20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

There’s a storm out, over the ocean, and it’s moving this old way. If your soul’s not, anchored in Jesus, you will surely drift away. Drift away Lord, drift away Lord. You will surely drift away. If your soul’s not, anchored in Jesus, you will surely drift away. What an appropriate song for such a time as this. We had better be anchored in the Lord, for when the rains come, and the winds blow, and the floods, and the storms come, because they will come, our trust had better be in Christ. Everything is going down but the Word of God. Matthew 5:18 (KJV): 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. There’s also another thing that’s coming, and that is that the will of God being done on this earth as it is in Heaven. God will purge the old things away in this earth and He will make all things new. 2 Peter 3:10-13 (KJV): 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. The people of God are blessed because we have His Word, the light and the lamp, to guide us and illuminate the path ahead for us that we may know that the time is at hand and His coming is nearer than before. Be ye ready when He comes. In His Service, Pastor Jeffery A. Muchison Scripture for Sunday, 2-9-25 Deuteronomy 29:29 (KJV) 29 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.

The 21 Day Consecration is always a blessing to my spirit man, but this 2025 21 Day Consecration was especially uplifting in the Word of faith concerning this season of outpouring. God said by the prophet Joel in Joel 2:28-29 (KJV): 28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: 29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. Peter quoted that prophesy by Joel on the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit was given to the Church, the called out ones, the ekklesia. Many in the Church today called the day of Pentecost the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. It was a prophesy revealed by other watchmen in the kingdom as well. Ezekiel 36:26-27 (KJV): 26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. In the denominational Churches there are different emphasis on what demonstrates you’ve received the Holy Spirit. Speaking in tongues, shouting or dancing in the Holy Ghost, the new birth, being endued with power, experiencing visions and dreams, and all of these are scriptural, but in Ezekiel there’s some very powerful revelation concerning the Holy Spirit’s outpouring and that is that God said He would give His people a new heart and take away the stony heart. By His Spirit He would also cause His people to walk in His statutes, keep His judgments, and do them. That is the greatest sign that others can see that is a sure sign that you have God’s Spirit on the inside of you. You will obey His commandments and do them. In His Service, Pastor Jeffery A. Muchison Scripture for Sunday, 2-2-25 Ezekiel 36:26 (KJV) 26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

Saints, don’t be distracted by current events as they are being unveiled on a regular basis now. Our hearts have been trained to the true and living God and there’s no God like our God. Even if I turn my head from looking at all the proof of His existence by the things that He have created, it don’t change the revelation of God and whether we believe in Him or not, He’s still God. We live in a world of calling right wrong and wrong right, good evil and evil good, like it’s no big deal at all. Well, it’s a huge deal. It’s a Heaven or Hell big deal. Yet, the world goes on like we’re all going to live in our present state forever. Men live like there is no God, as if there won’t be an accounting before God of the deeds we’ve committed in these bodies, as if there won’t be a judgment for all people. Many are deceived today, but did not the Word of God warn us of these things? Luke 17:26-30 (KJV): 26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. The Word is our lamp and our light to guide us through the waters of this life until we fulfill our destinies. 1 John 2:15-17 (KJV): 15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.  In His Service, Pastor Jeffery A. Muchison Scripture for Sunday, 1-26-25 1 Thessalonians 5:3 (KJV) 3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
