Diana Bland

 

In this service,  Diana Bland from our Leadership Team, offers spiritual guidance on living a life that reflects Jesus Christ. She emphasizes that while believers may face challenges, they are called to maintain a merry heart, practice forgiveness, and guard our thoughts and words to mirror the life of Jesus.

Key spiritual disciplines for believers:

• Practice forgiveness: Releasing others by forgiving them is essential for personal healing and spiritual alignment 

• Control your tongue: Use words that bring life, healing, and joy rather than poison.

• Feed your mind healthy thoughts: Be intentional about what you listen to and watch, filling your spirit with worship and scripture .

• Meditate on the Word: Quality time in the Bible builds an armor against doubt and negative emotions

• Reflecting Jesus to the World:

• We are reminded that our lives are a lens through which others see Jesus. By walking in victory rather than defeat, believers can show the world the love and power of the Gospel.

• Diane shares inspiring reports of international outreach, highlighting thousands of salvations achieved through ministries like Way of the Cross, and Jeremiah of Forgotten Ministries.

• The service concludes with a discussion on the five crowns mentioned in the New Testament—rewards for faithful service, soul-winning, righteousness, shepherding, and perseverance under trial—which we as believers ultimately lay at the feet of Jesus

Key Scripture: Joshua 1:1–9
Core Theme: Transitioning through grief and change into faith-filled action, rooted in a spiritually transformed heart.

Key Takeaways & Structure

1. Defining Spiritual Courage

   • Drawing from Henri Nouwen’s devotional "Have Spiritual Courage", Pastor A.J. highlights that the root word for courage is the Latin cor (heart) — the center of our being, thoughts, and decisions.

   • Unlike worldly, daredevil courage driven by testing limits or seeking fame, spiritual courage means living deeply from that center, obeying God, and willingly setting aside status and popularity for eternal life.

2. Transitioning Out of Mourning (Joshua 1:1–5)

   • Following the death of Moses, Israel mourned for 30 days. Similarly, the church has experienced loss, but Pastor A.J. notes that mourning is only meant for a season.

   • God’s direct command to Joshua was: “Moses my servant is dead. Now therefore arise, cross this Jordan.” Staying too long in mourning leads to stagnation; the church must take a time to heal, but ultimately move forward.

3. God Focuses on the Individual Heart (Joshua 1:6–9)

   • God did not give Joshua military battle strategies; instead, He gave instructions for personal spiritual discipline:

     • Obey God's word without turning to the left or right.

     • Meditate on scripture day and night.

   • True prosperity and strength flow from personal spiritual transformation rather than mere church structure or corporate organization.

4. Two Practical Steps for Spiritual Growth

   • Read the Word for Yourself: Do not rely solely on a pastor or others to feed you spiritually; seek daily bread and personal life verses directly from scripture.

   • Meditate Day and Night: Reflect on how God’s truth practically applies to your daily walk, what needs to change, and where you need to take steps of faith.

5. A Call to "Step Up" Together

   • Acknowledging personal feelings of inadequacy and past wounds, Pastor A.J. shares how God prepared him under mentorship for this current moment.

   • He calls on all individual members of the congregation to rise up, heal, and use their gifts. Together, under Christ as the chief cornerstone, the church stands as a living temple built on a restored foundation.

We are entering a new season of transformation, and the leadership team is actively seeking God's guidance for the next steps.

Leadership Transition:  The current four-member leadership team is serving in a transient, interim capacity while they prayerfully await God’s choice for the church’s future.

Core Message: Drawing from the story of Joseph and Isaiah,  Pastor A.J. encourages the congregation to focus on God, let go of past baggage (such as fear, offense, or a controlling spirit), and embrace the uncertainty of this new season with enthusiasm and trust.

Continuity: Despite the changes, established church activities—including Tuesday prayer meetings, Women’s meetings, and Men's breakfasts, etc—will continue as usual.

Now is the time to keep each other lifted up in prayer and our body of believers.
