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.

The Halls of Faith - Hebrews 11

11/6/2018

0 Comments

 
Hebrews 11:6 - But without FAITH it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God MUST believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who DILIGENTLY seek Him.


In this teaching I want to highlight all of the people mentioned in the Halls of Faith. I wanted to write a short synopsis of who they are and what they did.


Faith at the dawn of history- 


1. Abel- By FAITH Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain. (His gift proved he was RIGHTEOUS) God testifying of his gifts, and through it he being dead still speaks.


2. Enoch - By FAITH Enoch Was taken away so that he did not see death. Before he was taken he had this testimony that he PLEASED God. Heb. 11:5


3. Noah - By FAITH Noah Being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with GODLY FEAR, prepared an ark for the saving of his household. He became HEIR of the RIGHTEOUSNESS which is according to faith. (God preserved a covenant family, to restore the earth)


After the flood-


God's Covenant Couple is birthed, which precedes the Nation of Israel.


Abraham- The Father of many Nations - 


4. Abraham- By FAITH Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. He went out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the HEIRS with him of the same promise. Heb. 11:8 -9


(Abraham) waited for the city which has foundations, whose BUILDER and MAKER is GOD. (Made not with human hands!) Heb. 11: 10


From one man, Abraham, as good as dead, were born as many as the stars of the sky in multitude- innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore. Heb. 11: 12


The First Covenant Woman- (After the flood)


The Mother of many nations -


5. Sarah- By FAITH Sarah received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him FAITHFUL who had promised. Heb. 11:11


6. Isaac - By FAITH Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.
Heb. 11:20


7. Jacob - By FAITH Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and WORSHIPED, leaning on the top of his staff. Heb. 11:21


8. Joseph - By FAITH Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel, and gave instructions concerning his bones. (This meant that Joseph wanted his bones taken out of Egypt, along with the Exodus of the Nation of Israel). Heb. 11:22


9. Moses - By FAITH Moses, when he was born, was hidden three months by his parents... When he became of age, refused to be called the son of pharaoh's daughter, choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin. Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt; (The world) for he looked to the reward! Heb. 11:23- 26


A) He kept the Passover.
B) they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, whereas the Egyptians were drowned.
C). By FAITH the walls of Jericho fell down after they were encircled for 7 days. (Joshua and Caleb). Heb. 28- 30


The second Woman mentioned in the Halls of Faith- 


10. Rahab- By FAITH, the harlot Rahab did not perish with those who did not believe, when she had received the spies with peace. (She was in the land of Canaan before the Israelites came and received their promise land). Heb. 11: 31


11. Gideon - Heb. 11:32 - Judges 6:11- 15. Vs. 15. So he (Gideon) said to Him, "O Lord, how can I save Israel? Indeed my clan is the WEAKEST in Manasseh, and I am the LEAST in my Father's house."


12. Barak - Heb. 11:32 - Judges 4: 6- 24. Deborah, the prophetess, called for Barak to "go and deploy troops at Tabor in order to deliver Sisera, the commander of Jabin's army (King of Canaan) into his hand. To make a long story short, Barak didn't want to go to into battle without Deborah.


Because of Barak's refusal to go alone, the Lord had Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, kill Sisera, the commander of the army of King Jabin of Canaan. How is this significant? From the time of Moses, the Kenites were allied with Israel. Heber, Jael's husband, however, was an ally of King Jabin. Jael honored their alliance with Israel, even though her husband did not. Brave woman! She gets the credit for defeating King Jabin, when it was prophesied for Barak to accomplish this.


13. Samson - Heb. 11:32 - Judges 13: 16- 31 Vs. 24 - So the woman bore a son and called him Samson; and the child grew, and the Lord blessed him. Vs. 25 And the Spirit of the Lord began to move upon him at Mahaneth Dan...


Samson's mother was barren until she was visited by an Angel after 40 years in bondage to the philistines. This bondage came after Israel did evil in the Lord's sight. The Angel prophesied of her giving birth to a son for the purpose of delivering Israel out of the hands of the Philistines. Judges 13: 5


14. Jephthah - Heb. 11:32- Judges 11: 1-29
Vs. 29 - Then the Spirit of the Lord came upon Jephthah, and he passed through Mizpah of Gilead. 


Jephthah made a vow to God that if He delivered the people of Ammon into his hands, Jephthah would give to the Lord whatever came out of the doors of his house. Judges 11: 31


It ended up being Jephthah's only child, a daughter who came out of the house. This vow required her to remain a virgin the rest of her life.


15. David - Heb. 11:32 - 1 Sam. 16: 7- 18 (A man after God's own heart)


The Lord told Samuel to go to Jesse the Bethlehemite's house. God had provided a king from among Jesse's sons. Jesse had 8 sons but only had the 7 oldest pass before Samuel the prophet. David was in essence rejected by his own Father because he was the youngest.


1 Samuel 16:7 - But the Lord said to Samuel, "Do not look at his (Eliab, older brother of David) stature, because I have refused him. (All seven of Jesse's sons) For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the OUTWARD appearance, but the Lord looks at the HEART."


David was called out of the field where he was keeping the sheep and came before the prophet Samuel.


1 Samuel 16: 12- And the Lord said, "Arise, anoint him; (David) for this is the one!"


16. Samuel- Heb. 11: 32 - 1 Samuel 3: 20- Samuel was established as the prophet of the Lord.


1 Sam. 2: 18 - But Samuel ministered before the Lord, even as a child, wearing a linen ephod. 


1 Samuel 3: 1 & 19- And the word of the Lord was rare in those days: there was no widespread revelation. Vs. 19 So Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground.


17. The Prophets - Heb. 11: 32


Heb. 11: 33 - 34 - Who through FAITH subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.


The woman with no name-


18. Woman received their dead raised to life again.
Elijah and the widow of Zarephath....(The third woman mentioned in the Halls of Faith) Heb. 11: 35
1 Kings 17: 22 (See my Mothers Day teaching for more details)


All these having obtained a good TESTIMONY through FAITH, did not receive the PROMISE (The Messiah Christ Jesus, the hope of glory) God having provided something better for us, that they should not be made perfect apart from us! (In the new covenant dispensation). Heb. 11: 39- 40


In conclusion- 


God did not choose the strong, the proud, the most qualified, or the most intelligent in doing some of His greatest works for humanity. God chose those who looked and depended on Him to bring about His promises, imperfect as they all were.


1 Cor. 1: 26- 29- For you see your calling, brethren, that not many WISE according to the flesh, not many MIGHTY, not many NOBLE are called. Vs. 27 but God has chosen the FOOLISH things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the WEAK things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty. Vs. 28. And the BASE things of the world and the things which are DESPISED God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, Vs. 29. That NO FLESH should glory in His PRESENCE.
