Rev. Robert Mitchell
|
Apostolic Tabernacle is in the midst of a great revival. The power of God has been manifest in all of our services. People are being saved, healed, delivered, restored, rededicated, and repositioned. We heard from God that as a body of believers we are all being repositioned for another level of anointing and Apostolic power. We invite you to be a part of a genuine Apostolic outpouring like we used to see.
We are believing God for creative miracles, deliverance from oppression, financial breakthroughs, a renewal of confidence in God, and the ability to walk in a greater dimension now than ever before.
We are having special services with Rev. Robert L. Mitchell. His prophetic ministry will increase your faith and open your eyes to a new spiritual dimension.
Our currently scheduled special services are:
Sunday Morning @ 10:45 AM
Sunday Evening @ 7:00 PM
Monday @ 7:30 PM
Wednesday@ 7:30 PM
There will be prayer in the sanctuary prior to each service.
Come expecting to leave changed!

Beyond Resolutions:
Jonathan Edwards, the 18th-century revivalist, sat down at age 17 and penned 21 resolutions by which he would live his life. Throughout his lifetime he would add to this list until, by his death, he had 70 resolutions.
He put at the top of his list: "Being sensible that I am unable to do anything without God's help, I do humbly entreat Him by His grace to enable me to keep these Resolutions. … Remember to read over these Resolutions once a week."
Edwards didn't casually make New's Year's resolutions with an expectation of eventually breaking them. Each week he did a "self-check." He regularly summed up how he was doing and sought God's help in the process.
Christ calls us to commit to actively work at becoming conformed to His image. This coming year resolve to be come a person committed to a godly transformation. If you faithfully do this, you will see your life begin to focus on the spiritual rather than on the passing, material world.
Writer and speaker Lewis Smedes says:
Yes, somewhere people still make and keep promises. They choose not to quit when the going gets rough because they promised once to see it through. They stick to lost causes. They hold on to a love grown cold. They stay with people who have become pains in the neck. They still dare to make promises and care enough to keep the promises they make. I want to say to you that if you have a ship you will not desert, if you have people you will not forsake, if you have causes you will not abandon, then you are like God.
What a marvelous thing a promise is! When a person makes a promise, she reaches out into an unpredictable future and makes one thing predictable: she will be there even when being there costs her more than she wants to pay. When a person makes a promise, he stretches himself out into circumstances that no one can control and controls at least one thing: he will be there no matter what the circumstances turn out to be. With one simple word of promise, a person creates an island of certainty in a sea of uncertainty.
When a person makes a promise, she stakes a claim on her personal freedom and power.
When you make a promise, you take a hand in creating your own future.

Make a Fresh Start in the New Year
Dolley Carlson
"Thou crownest the year with thy goodness." - Psalm 65:11
The New Year's issue of a magazine captured my heart. The cover was a picture of newly fallen snow with one little pine sprig popping up in the middle. It looked like hope! Renewal. And another chance to do life right ... God bless second chances.
"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing. Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way." - Isaiah 43:18-19.
For me, the snow symbolized a "white as snow" forgiven heart, and the little pine sprig an evergreen reminder of being "ever" renewed by God's love. Sitting on the threshold of a new year is the perfect opportunity to drop grudges, forgive, ask to be forgiven, and begin anew.
Gifts of Forgiveness
Send a New Year greeting card to break the ice and warm the hearts of both the forgiver and the "forgivee."
Forgiveness is the most expensive gift of all, but merciful forgiveness is priceless. Do you realize how much energy it takes to hold on to unforgiveness? A lot. Maybe you're righteously indignant. Make a tight first with your right hand. Takes some doing ... righteous indignation. Holding on robs us of blessings and being a blessing.
Release, bless and be blessed in giving your "white as snow" gift of forgiveness.
Gifts of Encouragement
Send a New Year's note and affirm special talents or skills. You could also write, "I know the Lord has wonderful plans for you; this is your year." Encourage them even more by including a verse such as "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." (Romans 15:13)
"Therefore encourage one another and build each other up." - 1 Thessalonians 5:11.
Another gift of encouragement is to begin a support or prayer group. Meet once a week or every other week and be specific about your goals and objectives, not only for the group but for your new year as well. Commit your loving trust to each other and your meetings to prayer, counsel and God's word.
"And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, but let us encourage one another." - Hebrews 10: 24-25.

B.L.A.S.T. campaign
Believers Laboring And Standing Together
Click here for more information
In order to maximize the opportunity for ministry the Lord has provided, the decision has been made to pursue the acquisition or building of a new campus. A new campus will enable Apostolic Tabernacle to grow a larger, diverse congregation from the Houston and surrounding areas for the purpose of salvation.
A larger campus will enable our Church family to maximize our God-given potential and mandate. It will also eliminate some of the challenges we face due to over-capacity crowds in our worship services, Sunday School classes, and parking lots.
Ultimately a new campus will enable Apostolic Tabernacle to increase our capacity for church attendance and ministry; thus allowing us to reach more people for Christ. This is the ultimate end and objective of this campaign. The B.L.A.S.T. campaign is about souls being saved and Apostolic Tabernacle increasing our capacity and ability to impact our city in a tremendous way. That is our mandate. Now is our time.

Bedside Manners
Susie's husband had been slipping in and out of a coma for several months. Things looked grim, but she was by his bedside every single day. One day as he slipped back into consciousness, he motioned for her to come close to him. She pulled the chair close to the bed and leaned her ear close to be able to hear him.
"You know" he whispered, his eyes filling with tears, "you have been with me through all the bad times. When I got fired, you stuck right beside me. When my business went under, there you were. When we lost the house, you were there. When I got shot, you stuck with me. When my health started failing, you were still by my side. "And you know what?"
"What, dear?" she asked gently, smiling to herself.
"I think you're bad luck."

Run Into Any Brick Walls Lately?
Pick A Brick on the
"Prayer Wall"
Phillipians 4:6 AMP – “Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition ([a]definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God.”
How “smart and clever”(pun intended) is the devil to cause us to run into “brick walls” in our lives. He wants to cause irreparable injury to us spiritually, financially, emotionally and physically. Satan tries to stop us from seeing increase and our territories enlarged; but his attacks only drive the heirs of the King into action. We run boldly and confidently to God in prayer!
At the beginning of every year, the Apostolic Tabernacle church family begins a time of consecration with prayer and fasting. This year, we have introduced a unique way to bind together and bear one another’s burdens WITH EXPECTATION. We’ve implemented “The Prayer Wall”! The saints have been invited to “PICK A BRICK”, on which each would write their specific prayer requests. The OPPORTUNITIES for God to work miracles range from impossible situations; souls being saved; healing; spiritual, financial, and emotional breakthroughs. Everyone is believing God together; the children, the youth and the adults. Testimonies are coming in as God has begun to answer our prayers.
Would you like a request placed on our Prayer Wall? Please contact Sis. Michelle Boudreaux at cmc-innovative@sbcglobal.net.
UPDATE: We have already received numerous praise reports and testimonies of the prayers that God have answered. We dedicated two Wednesday night services to hearing and sharing those testimonies with great results. Our good reports are strengthening our body and helping us to overcome. If you have a prayer request on the wall don't give up, believe God and keep your faith lifted high.
