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.

Elijah and The Widow of Zarephath-
An Old Testament example of the Faith of a Mother in saving her HOUSEHOLD.




Hebrews 11: 1-3 - Now faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen. 2. For by it the elders obtained a good TESTIMONY. 3. By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are VISIBLE. (Not made with natural hands! Sounds like how God has made and is continuing to build up His Church!) Mark 14:58. 




Heb. 11:35 - Woman received their DEAD back to LIFE again. The reference to this scripture is the story of Elijah and the widow in 1 Kings 17:8.




Elijah and the Widow of Zarephath -




1. First, God knows the end from the beginning which requires faith on our part to do exactly what He says, when He says.




1 Kings 17: 8 - Then the word of the Lord came to him saying, 9. "Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there. See, I have COMMANDED a widow to PROVIDE for you."




The widow was preparing to eat her last meal and die. 
The word of the Lord came to her, through the Prophet Elijah, which confirmed what the Lord already told her.




1 Kings 17: 13-14 - And Elijah said to her, "DO NOT FEAR, go and do as you have said, but make me a small cake from it FIRST, and bring it to me; and afterward make some for yourself and your son. 14. "For thus says the Lord God of Israel: "The bin of flour shall not be used up, nor shall the jar of oil run dry, until the day the Lord sends RAIN on the earth."
(There was a drought in that land at that time). 




God's order in things is real important to obey, for His promises to come to pass. His order is God first, people second!




The widow needed to sow a seed in her famine, by giving to the Lord in helping His servant.
She could have eaten her last morsels of food (her seed) and died, along with her family.
Instead she chose to obey the command of the Lord to feed His prophet Elijah first. She received supernatural provision because of her faith and obedience in God.




1 Kings 17: 15-16 - So she went away and did according to the word of Elijah; and she and he and her HOUSEHOLD ate for many days. 16. The bin of flour was not used up, nor did the jar of oil run dry, ACCORDING TO THE WORD OF THE LORD which HE spoke by Elijah.




1 Kings 17: 17-18- Now it happened after these things that the son of the woman who owned the house became sick. And his sickness was so serious that there was no BREATH left in him. (He died)
18. So she said to Elijah, "What have I to do with you, O man of God? Have you come to me to bring my sin to remembrance, and to kill my son?"




She's angry and sarcastic about the "Man of God." Her faith was being sorely tested. She listened and did what the Lord told her through the Prophet, and after the first blessing of provision, was in anguish over the death of her son.




This is where many in the body of Christ bite the bait of Satan's offense. After the death of a loved one, or any type of death, (i.e. Death of a dream, relationship, etc.) many get angry and begin to blame God. Many also may get angry with anyone associated with the Lord's service as well. 




Elijah's response was to take the son, and bring him to the Lord in prayer. Elijah took the boy to the UPPER ROOM, where he was staying in the widows house, and laid the boy on his own bed. He interceded and cried out to the Lord for direction and answers. 




1 Kings 17: 20 - 22 - Then he (Elijah) cried out to the Lord (intercession on her behalf) and said, "O Lord MY GOD, have You also brought tragedy on the widow with whom I lodge, by killing her son?" 




God is not the author of death. He is the giver of life! He has, however, delegated authority to each of us in the Body of Christ. God needs our cooperation in praying out His will and plans for our loved ones. God needs His ministers to stand in the gap on behalf of His purposes as well.




1 Kings 17: 21- And he (Elijah) stretched himself out on the child THREE TIMES, (Jesus was in the belly of the earth, three days and three nights) and cried out to the Lord and said, "O Lord MY GOD, I pray, let this child's soul come back to him." 22. Then the Lord HEARD the VOICE of Elijah; and the soul of the child came back to him, and he REVIVED. 




1 Kings 17: 23-24- And Elijah took the child and brought him down from the UPPER ROOM into the house, and gave him to his mother. And Elijah said, "See, your SON LIVES!"
24. Then the woman said to Elijah, "Now by this I know that you are a MAN of GOD, and that the WORD OF THE LORD IN YOUR MOUTH IS THE TRUTH."




Sounds familiar doesn't it? Where did the Church first receive her power? In the UPPER ROOM, where they were filled with the Holy Spirit, The Breath of life. Acts 2. The Holy Spirit brings REVIVAL.




Look at how the faith of a mother blessed her entire household. She made it into the "Halls of Faith" in the book of Hebrews, along with other woman as well. 




Even though she struggled with lack and death, she overcame by listening and obeying God and honoring His Prophet.




I believe God wanted her story to be remembered, because there are two components to her blessing.




1. The first blessing was DIVINE PROSPERITY. This came through the commanded blessing of the Lord. This also came through Elijah the Prophet listening to God as well.




2. The second blessing was DIVINE HEALING. This came to the widow's son after he was brought back to life after he died. Again, this came through the Prophet Elijah praying to God.




Both of these blessings came through the cooperation of the faith and obedience of a mother, along with the prayers of Elijah, God's servant.




There must always be a cooperation between heaven and earth in HEARING and obeying the Spirit anointed WORD OF THE LORD. That is how faith comes.




It doesn't come by hearing with our natural ears, it comes by hearing with our spiritual ears. When we respond and take action on the Spirit anointed Word, breakthrough always comes. 




Matt. 13: 13-15- Therefore I speak to them (scribes and Pharisees) in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. 14. And in them the prophesy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says;




Hearing you will hear and shall not understand, And seeing you will see and not PERCEIVE: 15. For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing. And their eyes they have closed (spirit of stupor). Lest they should SEE with their (spiritual eyes) and hear with their (spiritual ears), Lest they should understand with their hearts (spirits) and turn, (repent or change) So that I should HEAL them.




These are major keys to healing in every area!




Many times, like with this mother in the "Halls of Faith,"things may appear worse before they get better. We cannot go by the natural sight of the eyes, but the spiritual eyes of faith in God's word revealed to us. 




There are so many nuggets and divine glimpses of what was coming in the Church age, wrapped up in this story. When I was seeking the Lord as to what to share this Mothers Day, however, the Lord put it in my heart to highlight the faith of this woman, and how she overcame her circumstances, which saved her HOUSEHOLD.




This scripture is also special to me because it's what the Lord gave me during the time my Granddaughter was in the hospital fighting for her life.




I had to declare what the Word says, rather than what it looked like in the natural. I had to declare that she would, "live and not die and declare the works or praises of God." Ps. 118:17




Elijah facilitated the miracle of the widows dead son being brought back to life.




This woman with no name, however, being one of many in the "Halls of Faith," was credited with bringing the dead back to life! Amazing!




Matt. 10:41 - "He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophets reward."




Look at the partnership and cooperation between the Lord, this woman, and the Prophet or servant of the Lord, all working together. What a beautiful portrayal of the family of God using their faith and divine giftings in bringing blessings on earth and Glory to God.




Don't ever underestimate the power of a believing Mother who listens, follows her Lord, and does what He says!


Happy Mothers Day!
