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.

Matthew 22: 36 - 40 
"Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?" Vs 37. Jesus said to him, "You shall love The Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind, (or strength). Vs 38. "This is the first and great commandment. Vs. 39. "And the second is like it : "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Vs. 40. "On these two hang all the Law and the Prophets." 

We all know that God has an order to everything He has created. He has set seasons and times according to His patterns. Everything in creation was patterned after the priorities of sequence that was most highly valued by Him. Many have called it "the law of first mention." Watch what God does first or says first and that becomes a DNA pattern throughout the Bible. 

When our priorities are aligned correctly with God's priorities, we have peace in our lives. We may have opposition on the outside, but when we are governing our lives according to the graces put within us, as well as His healthy priorities being enforced, nothing can stop our growth or forward advancement in life! 

It is very important to note in the scripture above, that Jesus prescribes a priority of first and second in what is the "great commandment " of love established by God. Many of us in this fast paced culture do not take the time to establish healthy priorities in our lives, but by default allow everything around us to dictate what comes first and second! When this happens, a door is open to the enemy to bring chaos into our lives. 

What is a priority and why is it so important? - 

A priority is a precedence, especially by order of importance. Something deserving prior attention. It is a boundary defining the order of importance. A boundary is something that defines a border or limit. One of the first things God did in the beginning was establish a boundary for mankind. 

Gen. 2: 16 - " of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; vs 17 "but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die." 

Satan came immediately to discredit The Lord's purpose for mankind's boundary. Healthy priorities and boundaries actually keep the enemy out of our lives. God's priorities and boundaries are actually a wall of protection for us and they are meant to be a limit to the enemy! Satan twisted and distorted the character of God, and redefined those boundaries to be a limit to mankind! 

The Lord unveiled these truths to me at a difficult time in our ministry. In the beginning of ministry there was a supernatural grace and flow of the Holy Spirit, as we focused on the vision to Worship The Lord, and teach others how to as well. The focus was "ministering to The Lord," first and foremost, and then ministering to the people. Very slowly and subtly the order and focus began to shift. Ministering to and focusing on meeting the needs of the people began to supersede loving God first. It was hard to detect at first because ministering to God's people is good, and it's what we are called to do. 

Satan's game plan- 

God does not want us ignorant of Satan's devices. If he can't get us sinning, he endeavors to get us out of order! A good thing in a wrong place and time can be destructive! Why? Because God blesses along lines of authority, and lines of priority! When our lives get out of order, it not only shuts the door to the blessings of God, but opens the door for the enemy to confuse and manipulate. Satan has no right to touch God's blood bought children, unless they knowingly or unknowingly open a door to him. Staying within our grace place is a boundary that keeps the door shut to the enemy. Staying within our calling, and the priorities established for marriage and family, all keep the enemy out. 

After seeking The Lord as to why it seemed the anointing was receding in our ministry, the answer was simple but profound. We had inverted God's priority of loving Him first, and people second. With this inversion came an open door for many to come through our doors with less than pure motives for God and our calling as a church! It also went undetected, because we were doing "good things" for the community in the name of God? Many a good ministry has bitten this bait of Satan, which is cloaked in scripture and great intentions, only to find themselves on an ash heap down the road! 

Thankfully, if we ask God for wisdom, He always gives it to us liberally. We, however, need to be brave enough to hear His truth, and submit to His correction. God never condemns our lack of knowledge. He is ever ready to give us whatever we need when things are just not clear! We just have to ask, and ask in faith knowing He always answers us! We then need patience in waiting for God's timing in bringing the answer from heaven, into the realm of time on earth! 

When we stay close to the heart beat of God by putting intimacy with Him first place, He will keep us from stepping on the unseen land mines of the enemy!

Nugget from The Lord - An inverted priority, is a perverted (twisted) priority!
