| He has blessed me! Submitted By: Corissa | This isn''t really a prayer request, although I have many, this is more like a testimony. I have been going through so much stuff dealing with my health, it is such a blessing to get to get back in church. I certainly didn't enjoy my 7 day stay in the hospital and it is only the grace of God that got me out and has completely blessed me. Now, I can eat whatever I want without any pain and nothing coming back up. I know I am taking a lot in through the feeding tube, but God was there for me every step of the way, or limp as it was at sometimes. Anyway, God has touched me and it is completely true that God's hand is not too short to heal me or touch a little 15 year old girl. Thank you Jesus for all your blessings on me! PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!!!!! | 12-08-2009 |

| unengaged Submitted By: michael | Hello there, My name is Michael. My wife and I are missionaries in YWAM. If you could just take a few minutes, I would like to share some statistics with you about Unengaged people groups. I did these statistics so they might be off, but you will get the point. Total people groups in the world - 16,305 = 6.69 billion Unengaged people groups - 3,814 = 416,857,986 Total Christians in the world - 365,445,000 So if we take the total number of unengaged people groups (3,814) and divide it by number of Christians in the world ( 365,445,000 ), we get 95,817. This number equals how many Christians per unengaged people group. So if only 1% of Christians would go to the unengaged, there would be 958 Christians per unengaged people group. It would only take 0.00001% of Christians to get 1 person to every unengaged people group! That would be like putting all the Christians in one long row and saying to the 1st person, "You go to the Unengaged." Then counting 95,817 more people and then saying, "You go to the Unengaged too." So it would only take 1 in 95,817 Christians to reach every Unengaged people group in the world. I have said that there are only 365,445,00 Christians in the world today, but I bet there are a lot more than that. If this is true then the percentage would be even lower. The reason I am sending this email to you is that I felt like God said to share this information and to encourage churches to be thinking and praying for the Unengaged people groups. I am sending this email to as many churches as I can. So please consider praying for an Unengaged people group and think about sponsoring that Unengaged people group or even sending a missionary there. My heart is to show you how easy the Great Commission is to fulfill. In order to do this, it will only take a small percentage of the Church. If you are interested in the Unengaged, there are a number of websites you can look at to find an Unengaged people group. I will list a few of them that I have found to be helpful. Thanks lot for your time! God Bless, Michael and Andi Mat 28:19 " Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit..." Here are some websites: www.joshuaproject.net www.globalfrontiermissions.org www.wycliffe.org www.4kworldmap.com www.finishingthetask.com www.peoplegroups.org These are just a few, I am sure you can find more if you want. | 08-09-2010 |

| HOLINESS IS NOT LEGALISM Submitted By: TAMMIE STAFFORD | HOLINESS IS NOT LEGALISM. A sermon by John Wesley Without holiness no man shall see the Lord.\\\" Nothing under heaven can be more sure than this; \\\"for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.\\\" And \\\"though heaven and earth pass away, yet His word shall not pass away.\\\" As well therefore might God fall from heaven, as His Word fall to the ground. (Heb. 12:14; Mic. 4:4; Matt. 5:18). No one who is not saved from sin here can be saved from hell hereafter. No one can see the kingdom of God above, unless the kingdom of God be in him below. Whoever will reign with Christ in heaven, must have Christ reigning in him on earth. And yet as sure as this is, and as clearly as it is taught in every part of the Holy Scripture, among all the truths of God, there is probably none which is less received by men. Yes, professing Christians invariably invent one way or another to get to heaven without holiness. In the place of holiness, some have substituted penance, pilgrimages, and praying to saints and angels. Thousand of professing Christians have no doubt but that, by a diligent use of these things—without any holiness at all—they shall see the Lord in glory. However, Protestants will not be satisfied in that manner. They are convinced that whoever leans on such things leans on the staff of a broken reed. Yet, thousands of such Protestants also think that they too will see God without holiness. How? Why, by doing no harm, generally doing good, going to church, and receiving the sacraments. And many thousands are content with this, believing they are on the high road to heaven. Yet, that is not much better than the hopes of the first group. However, other Protestants recognize that such nominal Christianity is not sufficient. They correctly say that such a religion does not stand on the right foundation. However, they go on to say that Christ has already accomplished and suffered everything for us. They say that His righteousness is imputed to us; therefore, we need none of our own. Since there is so much righteousness and holiness in Him, there needs to be none in us. In fact, they claim, that to think we have any holiness, or to desire to seek any holiness, is to renounce Christ. That from the beginning to the end of salvation, all is in Christ, nothing is in man. And that those who teach otherwise are preachers of legalism, and know nothing of the gospel. What evasion! What has Satan done? He has persuaded the very men who receive it to \\\"turn the grace of God into licentiousness\\\" (Jude 4). This is indeed a blow at the root, the root of all holiness, all true religion. The whole design of Christ\\\'s death was \\\"to destroy the works of the devil\\\" (I John 3:8). But now this is overthrown in one stroke. THE FRUITS OF CHEAP GRACE For wherever this doctrine of easy grace is received, it leaves no place for holiness. It forbids all such exhortations as might excite a desire for holiness. Nay, it makes men afraid of personal holiness, afraid of cherishing any thought of it. For they fear that any step toward holiness might be a denial of the faith, and a rejection of Christ and His righteousness. So that, instead of being \\\"zealous for good works,\\\" good works are a stench to their nostrils. In short, they are infinitely more afraid of the works of God, that the works of the devil. Here is Satan\\\'s masterpiece! We are to believe that men are holy, without a grain of holiness in them! Holy in Christ, however unholy in themselves. They are supposedly in Christ, although they have not one jot of the mind that was in Christ. They are \\\"complete in Him,\\\" although they are as proud, as vain, as covetous, and as lustful as ever. They think they can continue in unrighteousness because Christ has \\\"fulfilled all righteousness.\\\" O ye simple one, do not be deceived. For as surely as the Lord lives, \\\"neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.\\\" \\\"Such\\\" indeed \\\"were some of you. But you are washed, but you are sanctified,\\\" as well as \\\"justified, in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God\\\" (1 Cor. 6:9-11). You are really changed! You are not only accounted as righteous, you are made righteous. The inward power of the Spirit has made you free—really, actually free—from the law or power \\\"of sin and death\\\" (Rom. 8:2). This is liberty, true gospel liberty, experienced by every true believer. This is not freedom from the law of God, or the works of God, but from the law of sin and the works of the devil. See that you stand fast in this real, not imaginary, liberty. Take heed that you \\\"be not entangled again,\\\" by means of these vain boasters, \\\"in the yoke of\\\" that vile \\\"bondage of sin,\\\" from which you have cleanly escaped. (Gal. 5:1). I testify unto you, that if you still continue in sin, Christ shall profit you nothing. That Christ is no Savior to you, unless He saves you from your sins. And that unless it purifies your heart, faith shall profit you nothing. Oh, when will you understand, that to oppose either inward or outward holiness, under color of exalting Christ, is directly to act the part of Judas, to \\\"betray the Son of man with a kiss?\\\" What? Make Christ destroy His own kingdom? Set Christ against holiness? Talk of Christ as saving His people in their sins? It is no better than to say, He saves them from the guilt, but not from the power, of sin. Will you make the righteousness of Christ a cover for the unrighteousness of man? So that by this means, \\\"the unrighteous\\\" of every kind \\\"shall inherit the kingdom of God!\\\" Stop! Consider! What are you doing? Who has corrupted you from the simplicity of Christ, from the purity of the gospel? You did know, \\\"He that believeth is born of God: And whosoever is born of God sinneth not\\\" (1 John 3:9). O come back to the true, the pure, the old gospel! That which you received in the beginning. Come back to Christ, who died to make you a holy people, \\\"zealous for good works\\\" (Tit. 2:14). \\\"Remember from whence you are fallen, and repent, and do the first works\\\" (Rev. 2:5). For \\\"wilt thou know, O vain,\\\" O empty \\\"man, that faith without works is dead\\\" (Jas. 2:17)? Do not stupidly and senselessly call holiness legalism—a silly, meaningless word. Be not afraid of being under the law of God. Rather, fear being under \\\"the law of sin\\\" (Rom. 7:23). Love the strictest preaching best. That which most searches the heart, and shows you wherein you are unlike Christ. That which presses you most to love Him with all your heart, and serve Him with all your strength. Permit me to warn you of another silly, meaningless phrase: Do not say: \\\"I can do nothing.\\\" If so, then you know nothing of Christ. Then you have no faith. For if you have faith, if you believe, then you \\\"can do all things through Christ who strengthens you\\\" (Phil. 4:13). You can love Him and keep His commandments; and to you His \\\"commandments are not grievous\\\" (1 John 5:3). Grievous to them that believe? Far from it! They are the joy of your heart. Show then your love for Christ by keeping His commandments, by blamelessly walking in all His ordinances. Honor Christ by obeying Him with all your might, by serving Him with all your strength. Glorify Christ by imitating Christ in all things, by walking as He walked. Trust in Christ to live and reign in your heart. Have confidence in Christ that He will fulfill in you all his great and precious promises. That He will work in you all the good pleasure of His goodness, and all the work of faith with power. Cleave to Christ, until His blood has cleansed you from all pride, all anger, all evil desire. Let Christ do all. Let Him who has done all for you, do all in you. Exalt Christ as a Prince to give repentance. A Savior both to give remission of sins, and to create in you a new heart, to renew a right spirit within you. This is the gospel, the pure, genuine gospel; glad tidings of great salvation. Not the new, but the old—the everlasting gospel. *************** John Wesley England 18th century | 05-08-2010 |

| May we all be coffee beans Submitted By: miChELLe g | Carrots, Eggs & Coffee! * (You will never look at a cup of coffee the same way again.) A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up; she was tired of fighting and struggling.. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose. Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to boil. In the first she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil without saying a word. After about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the egg out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl. Turning to her daughter, she asked, \\\' Tell me what you see.\\\' \\\'Carrots, eggs, and coffee,\\\' she replied. Her mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. The mother then asked the daughter to take the egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard boiled egg. Finally, the mother asked the daughter to sip the coffee. The daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma. The daughter then asked, *\\\'What does it mean, mother?\\\' * Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity: boiling water. Each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water. \\\'Which are you?\\\' she asked her daughter. \\\'When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean? Think of this: Which am I? Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength? Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff? Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and hardened heart? Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you. When the hour is the darkest and trials are their greatest do you elevate yourself to another level? How do you handle adversity? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean? | 04-29-2010 |

| Holiness Submitted By: tammie stafford | Not a prayer request, but something I thought interesting. Resisting The Drift Away From Truth By Talmadge French Although the scriptural imperative has always been "perfecting holiness in the fear of God," the vast majority of all holiness groups have succumbed over time to the onslaught of worldliness (2 Corinthians 7:1). But why? One of the central reasons seems to be the rationalization of what is sometimes called "religious drift." What "drift" amounts to is much the same as a boat which slowly moves according to the irresistible waves around it. The only way to get out of drift is to resist it by keeping a chartered course by means of effort. Jude said, "It was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith" (Jude 3). Here we see the emphatic word which means to exert great effort, or to do all that one can do, to defend the truth and resist sin. Sadly, drift is often not merely the result of unsuspecting souls moving away from holiness, but is rather orchestrated by those who wish to see changes which they do not perceive at the moment for their full potential. Many of the Trinitarian churches which were once strong holiness advocates began a move away from holiness many years ago, and the drift always took place incrementally. That is, they would take tiny steps away from the previous position, but not all at once, and almost imperceptible for some, and always easier to accept. They wouldn't have been able to have obtained their goals had they tried to change holiness positions all at once, for too much resistance would have resulted once the move was seen for what it really represented. My former denomination, a major Trinitarian Pentecostal organization, began to drift away from its strong position on uncut hair for women almost a generation ago. Today it is easy to chart the course of the incremental movement away from the Biblical truth concerning hair to the culturally acceptable view within that movement. Slowly, over time, efforts continued to alter the historic, written position of the church, but in stages and not all at once. First, the manual was changed to allow for trimming of the hair, and then on and on, until the position was taken that women simply couldn't cut their hair extremely short. But, in the end, by the late 1980's, that organization finally reached the end of the drift, and totally removed all restrictions from their manual on the hair question. And, of course, they will never recapture the beauty of holiness which they once espoused. Sometimes it is overlooked that a move away from holiness is actually a move away from doctrine, for holiness is a Biblical doctrine. Perhaps we should remind ourselves that any move away from positions of doctrine once held by a movement may very well endanger all doctrines. Such is certainly the case with the holiness churches which compromised their first love for the world. Today they continue to erode doctrines of the church which were once thought to be their bedrock beliefs. But the younger generation, learning from their elders that beliefs could be discarded slowly over time, came to discard other fundamental truths as well. In recent years, a Methodist bishop proudly marched in the Chicago gay parade and the Episcopal Church stunned its own members by ordaining a homosexual Bishop. Only a sovereign move of God will ever bring such religious peoples back to truth, once they've so emphatically rejected the Word of God. Let's not forget that this process of accommodation is not mere upward mobility and flowing with the times. It’s the process of backsliding! And every generation has to face it and resist it with the power of the Holy Ghost. If any people should have the power to confront the pressures of compromise, it should be the Jesus’ Name, Spirit filled church which is unashamed to declare the full counsel of God and Deity of Jesus Christ. While our Trinitarian counterparts have reached the point where they're wrestling with whether or not to continue even believing in speaking in tongues, or that tongues are the initial evidence of Spirit baptism, the Oneness churches have the awesome opportunity to stand firmly for the truth and demonstrate that God is indeed in our midst. "Grant unto Thy servants, that will all boldness they may speak Thy Word" (Acts 4:29). Article "Resisting The Drift Away From Truth” written by Talmadge French is taken from Indiana Apostolic Trumpet the 2006 September edition. This article may not be written by an Apostolic author, but it contains many excellent principles and concepts that can be adapted to most churches. As the old saying goes, "Eat the meat. Throw away the bones." | 01-25-2010 |
| The Church of Tomorrow! Submitted By: Jessica Spring | This web site is an awesome testamony of the great things God is doing at FAC.

I can truly say that - The Anchor Still Holds in spite of the storms. I thank God for my church and heritage it has passed down from generation to generation. As the Youth Pastor's wife, I am uplifted when I look at the pictures of our services and see the youth of FAC on their faces before God. I pray that this website will touch and uplift all that visit it. God Bless! | 01-05-2010 |
| Job Submitted By: Jason Strahan | I would ask that my brothers and sisters be in pray for me. I'm having issues at work with a supervisor. She is not a church going person and does not know the LORD. Pray for her salvation. And that God will give me the courage to invite her to church. She really needs the Lord in her life. | 12-24-2009 |

| I know God is able Submitted By: Anonymous | Realizing that there is no solid friendship in my marriage, and that the only thing my husband and I have in common is love. I want to live my life for God and I want his will in my life which I know is not divorce.

| God knows best!!!! Submitted By: Blair Arceneaux | I grew up at FAC,it has been my home church and the only one I've had for my whole life. My wonderful and loving grandparents,Rev.Louis Ray and Sis.Joy Fay Hudson founded this church.Not a day goes by that I do not thank God for letting me be born into such a wonderful family. Being born and raised into this church has had its pros and cons, but let me tell you, the good ALWAYS outweighs the bad.I dont really know what I'm trying to say here,but all I can tell you is that God has your life in his control. When i look back on some of the things he has brought me through, I am truly amazed!!!! I NEVER could have made it without him!!! If you are reading this and you dont know where your life is going or dont know your purpose, I can tell you from experience, God sees down the road and he knows what you can handle. Philippians 4:13 says "I can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth me." And i have found this to be true.If you live for God with all your might and serve him, he will see you through. All things work together for the GOOD of those who love the Lord. I have never seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging for bread. Psalms 37:23 says "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord." So if he has your future in his hands, why worry and stress about it??? I am living proof of this! Gods promises are yea and amen! If you're going through something and you don't quite know the outcome, trust in him, that's what faith is. I could go on and on all day about the goodness of my Jesus, he has shown it more than once in my life. And I am not going to worry abourt what the future holds because after all, GOD KNOWS BEST!!!!!!!!! | 01-09-2010 |
| Praise Submitted By: Jason Strahan | This week I was praying about the job that a temp service was able to find me. I've been working with a dr's office for a few months. About a month away I was asked to come on full time once my hours were up with the temp service. For the past few weeks I was unsure if that still stood. Monday night was I praying that if it was Gods will that the door would still be open. Tuesday I have a meeting with my supervisor as of this friday I will be full time on the dr's office pay roll. With a whole different position then I was hired on to do. God is in the business of answering prayers. I'm highly blessed and favored in the LORD. | 01-07-2010 |
