Jesus 101 - Living A Life Of Blessedness

What a great night of worship & praise, followed by a message on embracing our trials and tribulations for in the midst of these things, The Lord calls us BLESSED. 

How & Why can Jesus call that blessed?

We can let what and who we think we are define us. How does Jesus define you? Are they the same? 

We can have Strongholds of the heart & mind but Jesus comes along and says YOU ARE 

BLESSED.

Let's learn how to live in the Blessedness during our brokenness & dire conditions. He is in the midst of all our circumstances.

Let's speak over our situations..... The Lord is the stronghold in my life, I seek to be in His temple & see His Beauty! 

When we are in crisis, We are in the most able position to receive His covering.

Pastor Steve used King David as a powerful example. A good majority of David's life was in turmoil, but yet He was a still a man after God's own heart, a true worshiper. He was able to find, live & rest in God's presence during all those battles. Pastor shared that he disagreed with Psalm 23 of merely being a funeral Psalm but a proclamation of blessing & testimony. A victory shout!

Word from The Lord from tonight's worship.

"Come to Me! There is no place in you that is Hidden from Me. There isn't any level of brokenness that can't be healed and restored within seconds of being in My presence."

Cindy had a separate Vision from God to go along with His previous Word.

She saw a giant tree with huge gnarled roots. There was an arched door in one of the larger roots. She prayed over the meaning and God replied, "Come inside the door to my tree of life."

Pastor Steve asked if anyone would like to share a testimony of How God covers us through trials.

Elizabeth shared that even during her darkest trials, that when she chooses to allow God to be God is when she sees  breakthrough. Her and her sons faith is being redefined. She finds the most peace and power of the Holy Spirit as she praises and worships.

Jack shared as a child he had to memorize Psalm 23 and it has stuck with him ever since. He shared he turns to this scripture often when he has doubt or is heading down a dark road. There's power and comfort in these words.

Let Jesus be your Savior in your times of trial,

Allow Him to be Your Canopy in the Storm :) 

Love Your Enemy - Jesus 101

Amazing Service last night! The Holy Spirit is continuing to move mightily at the Well. We had wonderful worship, & we welcomed a new drummer Jack to the worship team 🎶 People came to the altar for a fresh touch from the Holy Spirit, & He delivered. Backs and knees were healed, & people were freed from condemnation & guilt. Praise Jesus!

     

Pastor Steve gave a Part II message on Love ❤️. Last week we talked about Loving God with all our hearts and loving our neighbors. "Love needs to look like something." Heidi Baker Iris Ministries

Last nights convicting message was on "Loving your Enemy" what that is, & what that looks like. 

                             

Luke 6:27-36 “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,  bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. Do to others as you would have them do to you. “If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.  And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that.  And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full.  But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.  Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”

While Jesus ministered there were times when Jesus acted firm & abrupt. Even while doing so He was acting in Love in Truth. 

Love is not contract thinking it's Covenant! We as the body need to come into places where change is needed for patience, peace & love. Love is the way of salvation & to salvation. People bonding with one Another to bring them benefit. We need to leave our comfort zones to rescue others through the Love of Jesus. We seem to have a hard time loving our enemies at times because we don't want to let go of our accomplishments, our good deeds or self worth. That's when we really need to evaluate if we're acting out of our heavenly identities & purposes or our fleshly ones. Loving our enemies can be challenging, but Jesus has called us to do so. Acting in Love is a commitment to care for & to faithfully act for their benefit. Love is both passion and loyalty woven together. Jesus took the cross for all our sins. We can act in Love to our friends and enemies in prayer, compassion, mercy and Grace. 

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned & fall short of the Glory of God

Let's shake things UP

Saturday April 5, 2014
Hidden In Christ

Cindy Lynch's vision during worship. God the Father on the throne. Jesus standing in front of Him. The Holy Spirit in front of Jesus, and We were standing in front of the HS. This vision would make much sense after the sermon.

Pastor Steve shook things up Saturday. He gave a message on How God sees us. Who does He see when He looks at His Children??

He doesn't see.........
Our Failures
Our Short Comings
Our Shame
Our Sins

When Daddy looks back at us He Sees JESUS!!!

We are Heirs, we are siblings of Jesus. We have a voice in Kingdom affairs. God grooms and matures us to work in the family business, not as slaves but Royalty.

We however can falsely identify ourselves by

1. Not fully grasping the fullness of God's love for us.
2. We get stuck in a servant mentality "works"
3. We fail to declare God's truth.

God's Marvelous Plans for Us
                                   Ephesians 1:3-19

                                   Romans 8:38-39

1. God's love for us is compassionate, jealous and Loyal. Jesus was made the PERFECT sacrifice so that we could have a abundant life and most importantly relationship and communion with God. Let's believe in this LOVE.

2. God the Father sees us as Christ formed in us. Our lives are hidden and covered by Jesus. God wants us to know our true identity. Ephesians 1:17-19

3. God wants our eyes straight forward towards the TRUTH. He wants us to declare and take ownership of our inheritance and destiny.

Let's keep declaring whom We are In CHRIST

You Wont Relent

SATURDAY MARCH 8TH 2014

Another anointed Holy Spirit Filled Time tonight at The Well. Worship led us into the Throne Room beautifully tonight. God shared words of knowledge about His Jealousness for us, and that the Lord is good and that He does desire that intimate time with us.

Words of Knowledge were given for shoulder pain and for breast pain. We prayed over our sister Jill and she was instantly and completely healed of shoulder pain. Then we went on praying in joined spirit and Faith over returned cancer of the breast and cervix. We are believing for divine and complete healing. The body also spoke Prophetic words and Scripture of Life and Love over her and rebuked any curses in natural or spirit coming against Her. We give you PRAISE Lord for your emotional and physical healing.

Pastor Steve was able to preach again for his second week back.

MISSION: UNIQUELY JESUS
Pastor Steve shared God's heart on Mission. He shared that no matter where we are or going we are called to the mission field. The mission field could be in far away countries or right in our own backyard. Mission begins when we find and share God's compassion for others.

Pastor Steve also shared with us again of a vision God had given Him. He said in his vision
He saw a speedboat racing through the water leaving behind a huge white wake. The speedboat represented the Kingdom moving forward powerfully and aggressively through the Wake (the Church)

As a body we continue lifting up our Missions Team to Costa Rica and for those of us staying home we are encouraged to seek out our own "Mission Field" here in Simi Valley. 

The Apple of His Eye

            Prophetic Painting by
                 Cindy Lynch

When I had this dream, I saw Jesus dancing with his bride( His church). It was in black and white and very abstract with the swirling around them. I felt when I woke up that it represented His intense love for us but even more, represented His love for real intimacy with us and our love for the same with Him. If you notice, both their arms blend into one another's. You can't tell who's holding who. The swirls were not meant to look like an eye but I was told by many it did. I think also this could mean that God's Bride is the apple of His eye.

Psalm 17:8 NIV
Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings.

I prayed before I started and it just flowed. It was done in less than an hour. Praise God!

Wow another amazing vision given by God to Cindy captured perfectly and Beautifully through Her Gift of Art. Thank you Cindy for encouraging and reminding the body of God's desire of intimate relationship and His Love for us.

The Vine and the Branches

Saturday March 1st 2014

After a 3 week preaching absence Pastor Steve was back to preaching Saturday! We were all joyous to have Him back and excited to dive back into the Word together once again.

Worship hosted His presence beautifully and many were healed emotionally and physically by the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. 

Pastor Steve preached on John 15. He gave a great word on how we can only bear good fruit in our lives by abiding in Christ, and to abide in Christ we have to have a deep intimate relationship with the Father like Jesus does. It was a message to really reflect and chew on.

We ended service in corporate prayer for all needs of the body. We are also excited as a church for the Costa Rica Missions Trip that's quickly coming upon us. Lets keep pressing in prayer for all members partaking and for the Lord's plans to be made known.

The Woman at the Well

SATURDAY FEBRUARY 22 2014

Jake Silvio preached on John 4 -the Samaritan Woman whom Jesus met at the well. Jake preached of how words from Jesus can penitrate through us like words never spoken before. We are called to go out as Christ lives in us and encourage and love those around us, giving people Hope, purpose and imparting God appointed destiny.

With all of Heaven We celebrated excitedly as Evans asked God into His heart. We stand by Evans as brothers and sisters in Love and we give Glory and Praise to the Lord for His unconditional Love for His Children.

Cindy Lynch had a vision of Jesus standing as The Shepherd with His sheep. She felt like God was giving her revelation of Hope for all family and friends who had yet to encounter God's Love.

Jenn Silvio had a vision of a dark cloud chasing a group of people whom started to rub mud over their bodies to escape Evil and the mud turned to Scripture highlighting Psalm 31.

Kristen Campbell also saw Pastor Steve be knighted and crowned as we prayed for continued healing. 

We can't be Shaken

Saturday February 15th 2014

Pastor Johnny Flores from Santa Paula Vineyard preached and led Saturdays service while Pastor Steve continues to rest and heal. Pastor Johnny asked the Lord to reveal some visions and words for the Worship team. So after Worship Pastor shared that God revealed Rebekah was His Song Bird, and that Her Worship pleases Him. Johnny also saw the word "Significant" for Jacob. And that He is and will continue to do significant things for the Lords Kingdom.

Jennifer Silvio had words of knowledge for back pain and a fear of death was present.

Cindy and Kristen had hands laid upon them and Kristin was completely healed and Cindy was healed about 90%. Thank you Jesus!!!
Jenn Silvio also saw during Worship a large knot from a ship form which symbolized the body coming together with strength and being knotted tightly to one another and Christ.

Pastor Johnny gave a good message on Faith and what is means to have Faith and when it counts the most.
Afterwards the church Prayed and Ministered over Rebekah, Elizabeth and Kathy - A great ending to a great service!

How He Loves Us

Saturday February 8th

Love, such as fitting word for the last two weeks. We Thank God for the Love that He has for the Tanner's. Pastor Steve suffered a major heart attack, but by God's grace and mercy Steve is healing quickly and will be back at The Well very soon.

Saturdays Service the Worship team led us in song of love and comfort. Jake preached and just asked us to close our eyes and picture God embracing us with a huge hug as Rebekah sang How He Loves Us. There was comfort, rest and powerful revelation during that time.

Soaking in His Presence

Another awesome Spirit Filled night at the Well. We declared and agreed for all the Glory, Wholeness and Blessings of Heaven to Invade Earth. Anointed Worship was followed by a great message by Pastor Steve on God's DEEP desire to have intimacy with His Children and the Zealous Love He has for Us. We followed the message by individually resting and soaking in His Presence.

We give GOD Glory tonight for the Healings after service.

Pastor Steve was prayed for by all members for His hurt upper Back. He was completely healed and was on fire with the Spirit.

We also prayed for Kathy's thyroid and the Spirit fell Hard :) Her neck was red in color and hot from the HS. His Love was radiating off of Her. We are believing for COMPLETE  healing, for no medications and or surgery to be needed.

We give all Praise and Glory to our King Jesus ♥ 

1 Peter 2:24

New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)

 He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that, free from sins, we might live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.

Sozo Training and All Worship Night - Jan 24/25th 2014

What an amazing Spirit Led and Spirit Filled Weekend. The Well hosted Basic Sozo Training led by Jeffery and Katy Barsh who are Bethels Sozo Regional Directors for So Cal and Directors of Ventura Healing Rooms. There were about 35 people in attendance from all over Ca including Arizona. Many of our own members got their own one on one Sozo sessions and the testimonials from each of those were Life Changing. The Well will be moving forward accordingly so Sozo will soon be a ministry offered under our church. We Praise GOD for all of the Deliverances and Freedom that came out of this Training this weekend and we give a special Thank you to Jeffrey, Katy and their team for all their time, leadership and Kingdom principles imparted to The Body.

Saturday night service was an All Worship Night. The Spirit that was in the building all day just saturated all of us and the  Glory of the Lord fell upon each one of us. The Worship Team did a beautiful job leading us into the throne room and into further encounters with the Holy Spirit! This weekend was a weekend that won't be forgotten!!

Identity and Visions - Saturday Jan 11 2014

Our Service Saturday night was worship followed by members of our body standing up and declaring who we are in Christ and the Visions God has begun to place in our spirits for 2014. It was beautiful to see who everyone saw themselves as in Christ and the dreams and plans the Lord was revealing to each of us. Every single person
sensed Break-Through and wanted to see more outreach and evangelism - Praise God!

Supernatural Vision - As some people were speaking Cindy saw like a white cloud surrounding them that looked like snowflakes and a swirl of fog moving which Cindy said was the Holy Spirit!! We want to thank GOD for giving Cindy this vision of a Glory Cloud and are encouraged by how He revealed His Glory to her in a way she'd never experienced before. We are crying out for more signs like this throughout the body as we press in closer to Heaven this year!
