In Order for God to Show Up ~ You have to Give Up Something!

WOWgroup Global Fellowship NY

Minister William Merced Jr. delivered a powerful message and helped us understand that in order for God to show up in our lives we must be willing to give up those things that stop God from helping us. Minister William Merced Jr. used Genesis 22:1-12 as an example of a man who was willing to give up his son. Abraham trusted and obeyed the Lord and as a result God sent an angel to intervene on his behalf. We were reminded that we must be willing to give up those things that get in the way(pride, resentment, jealousy, anxiousness, bitterness, and fear) in order to allow God to intervene and bring us to the next level. Many of us are stuck and are not seeing God's hand, because we are not willing to give up those sinful natures. We were reminded that we cannot expect God to do everything. We must first do our very best and then God does the rest. What are you willing to give up in order to see God intervene in your situation?

WOWgroup Global Fellowship NY ~ Children's Church

It was truly a blessing watching the Lord move amongst the children. First the children gathered together and played with one another. They shared and interacted very quietly. Afterwards TAG ~ Truly Anointed Girls gathered together to dance and worship to Mary Mary Shackles Off My Feet. It was amazing to see how Brianna a 4 year old girl helped to choreograph their first praise dance and how Cami and Mykayla followed her lead.

Afterwards Andrew gathered the girls and read them a bible story the Ten Commandments. Andrew then showed a God Rocks DVD video that showed the girls about the Ten Commandments. Andrew then gave each girl a coloring page with the scripture about obeying God's Commandments (RULES). He told them when you follow God's rules you are showing Him that you love Him and then He is pleased and makes you happy. Andrew then prayed for the girls and blessed them. WOW!
