It has been a week since the Cooley Avenue church family began our 21 day time of fasting and prayer. In this short time we have already seen the Lord move in a mighty way. This Sunday after an amazing time of praise and worship a spontaneous testimony service broke out.
One by one people began to stand and testify about what the Lord has been doing in their lives. There was the testimony about a physical healing from a heart condition, others testified about healings, and some testified about being delivered from addicitons. There were testimonies by several new believers who expressed their thanks for finding a church family full of love. Their message was simple but powerful! Cooley is an amazing place to be.
Then Sister Kincaid stood and testified. For over 20 years her and Brother Kincaid served as pastors at Cooley Avenue. She spoke into our lives as she spoke about the anointing that was in the church on Sunday morning. She ended her testimony by speaking a prophetic word over Cooley Avenue. She compared our church to an airplane on a runway that is about to take off and that there comes a point where a plane comes to the "point of no return"
This is the place where the plane is fully committed to fly and go to the next level. My spirit just lept in me when I heard this word. I believe that God has brought us to the "point of no return" at Cooley Avenue. There is no turning back. There is no turning around. It is time for Cooley Avenue to go forward and move to the next level.
Paul said it best in Philippians 3:14-15 "Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."
It is going to be an amazing journey!
