In This Blog I endeaver to share the nuggets OF WISDOM I have received from time spent communing with the lord

Celebrating 30 years in Ministry - By Laurie Curcio
Thursday - 5/18/23 Oasis Zoom Service
1 Thessalonians 2:4-6 - New King James Version
4 But as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, even so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who tests our hearts.
5 For neither at any time did we use flattering words, as you know, nor a [a]cloak for covetousness—God is witness. 6 Nor did we seek glory from men, either from you or from others, when we might have made demands as apostles of Christ.
How do I summarize 30 years of ministry? Start at the beginning -

Before going into the actual date and time that the Lord birthed our ministry, it’s important to chronicle where the Lord led us to go for training and impartation.
I came to the Lord in the summer of 1977, during the charismatic renewal within our local Catholic Church in Sayville. My husband came to the Lord in 1974 and went to my high school and even had my dad as a science teacher. The Lord brought us together in the summer of 1978, the year I graduated High School.
We had both gone to the same youth retreats and our paths crossed when he was back from his first year at Oral Robert’s University where the Lord led Pastor to go.
It was really a divine connection and set up that we both came together that summer after we both prayed the same prayers, of just wanting the next person we dated to be our future spouses. We were both done with the dating scene as usual.

While Pastor was at ORU I visited him and the church he was going to. Faith Christian Fellowship, Pastored by Buddy and Patsy Harrison. (Brother Hagin’s daughter). There was an instant connection with that faith based church and the anointing the Harrison’s flowed in. (The same anointing as Ma and Pa Goodwin)
The Lord called me to go out west and learn of the Lord the following year. It was in Pastors heart to go to Rhema, and after I prayed and had it confirmed through Pastor Larry Huggins under Pastor Buddy, I quit my job and went to Rhema the same year as Pastor before getting married in 1980.
Now before fast forwarding to the Lord birthing Oasis Christian Church in Patchogue in Jan. of 1993, I want to share the call and anointing of Bro. Kenneth E. Hagin. We were trained and ordained under him and the transmission and anointing on Him has been passed to those under him.

Brother Hagin had a unique call to the body of Christ to prepare the end time army for the second coming of Jesus. His mandate was to teach God’s people Faith. But he was called from before he was born, and was supposed to be given the name John as he was to prepare the way of the second coming of Jesus the way John the Baptist prepared for Jesus first coming. In the Spirit and anointing of Elijah.
What was the calling on John the Baptist? -
Matthew 3:3
New King James Version
John the Baptist Prepares the Way
3 :3 For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying:
“The voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord;
Make His paths straight.’ ”
Luke 1:17
New King James Version

17 He (John) will also go before Him (Jesus) in the spirit and power of Elijah, ‘to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,’ and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”
Matthew 3:10-11
New King James Version
10 And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 11 I (John) indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit [a]and fire.
Who was the Prophet Elijah and what were his works? -
Elijah was raised up by God during the reign of King Ahab and Jezebel over Israel.

He confronted the prophets of Baal and the spiritual corruption going on in Israel.
He did according to the word of the Lord and had the most unusual signs and wonders to correct the corruption in Israel.
What were some of the signs and wonders that took place during the time of Elijah? -
1. The widow of Zarephath received supernatural provision of flour for bread and oil after listening to Elijah’s instructions. 1 Kings 17:13-15
2. Elijah revives widow’s son. Resurrection of the dead.
3. He operated in such power by God that he was able to speak to the rain and it stopped for years. 1 Kings 17:1
Brother Hagin also operated in such an unusual anointing and had many signs and wonders that

took place in his ministry as well. The Spirit of Elijah and his mantle was truly on his ministry.
These are some of the anointings that we were honored to receive when Bro. Hagin laid hands on us to ordain us in 1997.
Oasis was birthed in Jan of 1993, and was born in signs and wonders. There were shakings in the earth that took place as the Lord was establishing His lamp stand in this region.
Many miracles, like tumors on a woman’s brain disappeared after praying for her.
Children and teens having visitations of the Lord.
Our primary call was very similar to what John the Baptist was called to do.
Acts 3:19
New King James Version

19 Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,
These times of refreshing were to come through worshiping the Lord in Spirit and truth and psalming.
Ephesians 5:15-19
New King James Version
Walk in Wisdom
15 See then that you walk [a]circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, 16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17 Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, 19 speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,

We also have a strong desire to want to see the hearts of the Fathers turned to the children and the hearts of the children to be turned to the Fathers.
Malachi 4:5-6
New King James Version
5
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet Before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.
6
And he will turn
The hearts of the fathers to the children,
And the hearts of the children to their fathers, Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.”
The Elijah anointing straightens crooked places and prepares the way for the Glory of God.
So the call on Oasis to bring times of refreshing after repenting or changing by coming out of the worlds mindsets and corruption, through true worship helps to usher in the anointed Glory of the Lord.

Dick Mills, another prophet of the Lord who has roots back to Aimee Semple McPherson, prophesied over Pastor John in 1978 at ORU and again 18 years later at our Church. (Oasis Christian Center)
This was the scripture he prophesied over us -
Habakkuk 2:2-3
New King James Version
The Just Live by Faith
2 Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision
And make it plain on tablets,
That he may run who reads it.
3
For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it;
Because it will surely come,
It will not tarry.

What is the Vision for the appointed time?
Habakkuk 3:3-4
New King James Version
3
God came from Teman,
The Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah His glory covered the heavens,
And the earth was full of His praise.
4
His brightness was like the light;
He had rays flashing from His hand, And there His power was hidden.
So John the Baptist prepared the way for the Glory of Jesus through the Spirit and power of Elijah, during a time when wickedness was covering the earth.
Bro. Hagin was called to raise up the end time army of the Lord by teaching them faith, and knowing their authority in Jesus, by the same prophetic anointing of Elijah.

So here we are as the Oasis church family on the precipice of such evil taking place in our nation, and the call has been passed on and is the same.
Repent and change so that times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord can come by faith, entering the throne room through spirit anointed praise and worship, to help the families be restored in order for the Glory of the Lord to cover the earth and bring fire down on the prophets of Baal going after the children!
A day of distinction between the true and the false, through knowing the Rhema or spirit anointed word of God!
A day of signs and wonders all across the earth!
We as a church have a wonderful part in this season of fullness or harvest of maturity in the Kingdom of God.

No part is small in God’s eyes as we all stay in our lane, doing what we are each called and designed to do.
Galatians 6:9
King James Version
9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint no

Scripture for The New Year - 1/1/20


By Laurie Curcio




Time for the Glory


Haggai 2:9 - The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former, says the Lord of hosts. (Lord Sabbaoth) And in this place (of glory) I will give peace, says the Lord of hosts. (Sabbaoth)


Prior to this outpouring of glory, God is going to first shake the nations.


Haggai 2: 6-8 - For thus says the Lord of hosts: (Lord Sabbaoth) Once more (it is a little while) I will shake the heaven and earth, the sea and dry land; 7. And I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this temple with glory, says the Lord of Hosts. (Lord Sabbaoth). 8. The silver and the gold is Mine, says the Lord of hosts. (Lord Sabbaoth)


The Lord Sabbaoth is mentioned 5 times in Haggai 2: 6-9. This is the number of God’s Grace.


This is the pattern for God’s
people to enter into God’s glory.


1. First the shaking
2. The loosing of the silver and the gold. (Financial inversion)
3. The filling of God’s temple or house with Glory. (The body of Christ)


What is the purpose of the shaking of the nations?




Hebrews 12:25-27 New King James Version (NKJV)


Hear the Heavenly Voice


25 See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven, 26 whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I [a]shake not only the earth, but also heaven.” 27 Now this, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.

December 29, 2014  Blog

As I sit and reflect on all the changes over the last couple of years, I pray and wonder about what's coming in 2015?

If I track back to 2013, which I called the year of change, and summarize 2014 as the year of adjusting to all the changes, I begin to see a pattern that has happened in history before.

2013 to me was a time of monumental shifts and changes.  We had to move twenty years of ministry stuff out of our church building in less then 5 weeks time, due to huge rent increases from a new landlord. We then had to quickly find a new place to meet as a church, and also find a place to store all our church equipment.  Some of the members did not transition well into the new building and location.

In the summer, my husband had to care for his ailing mother, and on the heels of all this, had a stroke in July of 2013.  My husband was healed miraculously, but there were many personality changes that needed to be adjusted to after his stroke.  It created more insecurity within the church, and a few  more members left.  Despite these shifts and changes, God continued to provide for us supernaturally.  

As the end of the year approached and we eagerly awaited the birth of our first grandchild, my mother, who was battling cancer, took a turn for the worse and passed away 3 days before our granddaughter was born on 12/16/13.

In comes 2014, and I felt like I had been struck by a stun gun!  It was a whirlwind of change that could not be assimilated all at once.  On the heels of all this change, Obamacare is forced on our country, and our health insurance is dropped.
Great timing!

In my short time on this planet, I have learned that when there is so much shifting change all at once, something of a heavenly magnitude is about to take place.  Some changes are just too big to try and control.  It requires a faith and resilience that comes from knowing how to live in the rhythms of God's grace.  It requires knowing how to be instant, in and out of season, as Paul told Timothy in 2 Tim. 4:2.  It requires really listening and hearing what the voice of the Lord is saying in each situation, for ourselves!  No longer can we get away with trying to do what God has told someone else to do.  No longer can we get away with trying to please people.  It is time to grow up into the fullness of Christ.  Carnal, or baby Christianity will not cut it in the days to come!  Eph. 4:13 

So what is coming in 2015?

In order to see where we are going, it's good to take a look back at other times in history when there were extreme shifts taking place.  

This being the Christmas season, we get a glimpse of what Mary, Joseph and the wise men dealt with, during seasons of extreme change and danger. Encoded in these stories are lessons for us today.

God moved upon Mary to bring in not only our savior, but a completely new dispensation on planet earth.  This new dispensation created a seismic shift in the heavenly realm, the cosmos, the spiritual realm, as well as the political realm. 
To summarize, there was a convergence of change in all  three realms that we live in.  Sound familiar? 

How did they Manage?

They listened to the  voice of the Lord, and obeyed His directions.  

Matt.  1:20 - But while he (Joseph) thought about these things, Behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying,"Joseph, Son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

The wise men received divine instruction as well in their search for the King of kings, through following the signs in the heavens.

Matt.  2:10 -  When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding joy.  Vs. 11 And when they had come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshipped Him.

Matt. 2:12 - Then, being divinely warned in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed for their own country ANOTHER WAY.

These wise men were instant in season and out of season, and that meant being able to be pliable to go another way then they had planned!  

Obedience to divine instruction is going to be paramount this year, in staying protected and remaining in the blessing of the Lord for our lives.

Joseph receives divine instruction for protecting Jesus.

Matt. 2:13 - ... an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, "Arise, take the young Child and His mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I bring you word; for Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him."

Again, hearing  the divine instruction which came from heaven and doing it, was pivotal in saving the lives of Jesus, Joseph and Mary.  I believe this will be imperative in 2015 as well.  

So in summary I see many similarities with what happened with Mary and Joseph during their time, and what is happening on the earth now.

Let's compare with our time now -

1.  Many unique signs in the heavens-  three consecutive blood moons lining up on Jewish holidays starting in 2014 and into 2015.  Also lunar and solar eclipses around the time of these blood moons.

2.  Lots of rapid political changes.  Many  being detrimental to freedom and life.

3.  Inconvenient moves and changes for our church and family, as well as many others in the body of Christ.

But what was the outcome then? - 

The dispensation of God with us, Emmanual, born of a virgin, could not be stopped.  The Angels heralded His coming as a move of peace towards men.  Not towards the systems of the world, but to those who received the precious gift of our Lord and Savior.

The gift of God was protected by listening to divine instruction and carrying out what was heard.


What's coming for us?


Maybe we are on the cusp of another dispensational time shift?  

In Ephesians 1:10 - it states  in Vs. 10 that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He (God) might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth - in Him.  (Christ)

The word fullness denotes maturity and completion.  When a baby is due to be born they are called full term.  When prophecies are about to come on the earth they come when the fullness of time is determined by God.

I believe we are coming into the season that the earth has been groaning for.  The unveiling of the sons and daughters of Glory. 

(Romans 8:19). These sons and daughters will be  fully matured disciples of Christ, that have learned how to be led and controlled by the Holy Spirit, in line with rightly dividing the Word of God.  This will be happening alongside very dangerous times in the earth.  

Isaiah speaks of this time-

Is. 60:1 - Arise, shine; For your light has come!  And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. 2. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,and deep darkness the people;  but the Lord will arise over you, and His gory will be seen upon you.


So for this upcoming year, let's wait on the Lord, and only say what He says, and do what He tells us to do, and seek His glory alone!

John 7:18 -  He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him.
