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 Ways of Wisdom

11/2/2018

0 Comments

 
God's wisdom is the most important thing we could ever seek after and know. He who created the universe and all that is within it said He would give it liberally to us if we asked Him. We are to go after wisdom like a hidden treasure, for its value is priceless! We are to pray for it as well.


Col. 1: 9 - For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that you might be filled with the knowledge of His will in ALL WISDOM and spiritual understanding. 


James 1: 5 - 7 - If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that gives to all men liberally, and upraideth not (without reproach) and it shall be given him. 


James 3: 17 - But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.


Why is wisdom so important? -


Every problem we have, or could ever have, can be resolved through God's wisdom and spiritual understanding. His wisdom is way beyond knowledge or what the intellect could ever understand. It is a spiritual way of living, seeing, and understanding God and all He has made. Wisdom is God's way of operating. It can be ours as well. Wisdom will accomplish what we never could by ourselves. Wisdom makes a way for us, a place for us to dwell securely, when storms are all around us.


Prov. 2: 13-15 - Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gains understanding; For her proceeds are better than profits of silver, and her gain than fine gold. She (wisdom) is more precious than rubies, and all the things you may desire cannot compare with her. 


Wisdom is also defined as a home, a place, or abode. Wisdom is also referred to as a "she".


Proverbs 9: 1 - 7 - The Seven pillars of wisdom


1. Wisdom has built her house - Wisdom builds places of abode for rest, shelter, nourishment, safety and security.


2. She has hewn (carved) out her seven pillars - These are carvings of stone analogues used for bedrock foundations and sculpting great edifices, carved out of stone. Jesus is called the chief cornerstone.


3. She has slaughtered her meat - Sustenance, food, proteins are the building blocks of our bodies. Naturally and spiritually speaking, we only grow when we eat. Even the scriptures are likened to milk and meat. It requires maturity to eat the meat of the word of God.


Hebrews 5: 13-14 - For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses (soul) exercised to discern both good and evil. 


4. She has mixed her wine - Joy, and celebrations bring the family together. Jesus first miracle was making wine at a wedding. He made the best wine, and saved it for last. Wine is also symbolic of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2. Amazing how wisdom is connected with being full of the new wine of the Holy Spirit.


5. She has furnished her table - Making and setting the table is a symbol of preparation for guests, family and friends to gather and commune together. This is where we catch up on events, share stories, and connect from the heart. I love to set a pretty table for the holidays or special occasions. God prepares a table for us even in the midst of our enemies! Jesus said He is going to prepare a "place" for us, His church.


6. She has sent out her maidens - Those who would help her get ready and prepare her home and table for a beautiful supper and gathering. These are helpers. Spiritually speaking, all who pray and give of their substance, operate in the ministry of helps. This helps the Pastoral ministry immensely by being able to focus on prayer and preparing the meat of the word.


7. She cries out from the highest places of the city - A cry in one's spirit through prayer for God's people to gather as a family is very precious to Him. A good mother's heart ever cries for the union and communion or her family and close friends. The cry is this, come to the Lord, come to this place of union and communion together. Come and sit at the masters feet and partake of the meat of His word, come drink the wine of His spirit until you are filled, and rejoice in the Lord's love for us! Come enjoy the peace and security of the habitation or abode of the Lord's building. A building not made with hands. Come yield and hear the cry of His heartbeat to sit by the still waters and learn of Him. Eat and drink to the full, for there is no lack in His habitation of glory! The Lord cries out to us from the high places of his throne room in the heavenlies, where we are now seated with Christ.


The call or cry for wisdom is simple -


1. Proverbs 9: 4 - whoever is simple (ignorant), let him turn in here! (To the house wisdom has built)


2. Vs. 4 (Con't) - As for him who lacks understanding, she (wisdom) says to him, Come eat of my bread and drink of the wine I have mixed. (The food and wine that comes from heaven) 


3. Proverbs 9: 6 - Forsake foolishness and live, and go in the WAY of understanding. 


Three things that instruction does for the wise - 


1. Prov. 9: 8 - Rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.


2. Prov. 9: 9 - Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser.


3. Vs. 9 (Con't) - Teach a just man, and he will increase in learning. 


How do we receive God's wisdom? -


Prov. 9: 10 - The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy one is understanding!


So respecting and honoring the Lord, and having a genuine intimate knowledge of the Holy one is true understanding at its best! Without this foundation, nothing else can be truly learned. This type of wisdom and understanding always requires a deep level relationship with our Lord. The fruit of wisdom and true understanding of the Lord and His will for our lives, will always manifest and produce much blessing for those we are called to minister to.


Now that we know what wisdom is, what are her benefits? - 


1. Long life - Prov. 9:11 - For by me your days will be multiplied and years of life will be added to you.


2. Receives commands - Prov. 9: 8 - (yield able) 


3. Speaks correctly - Prov. 9: 13 - Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has understanding. 


4. Great memory - Prov. 9: 14 - Wise people store up knowledge. 


5. Self control - Prov. 9: 14 - But he who restrains his lips is wise. 


6. Understanding - Prov. 9: 23 - A man of understanding has wisdom. 


7. Humility - Prov. 11: 2 - But with the humble is wisdom. 


8. High position - Prov. 11: 29 - the fool will be servant to the wise 


9. Influences others - Prov. 11: 30 - he who wins souls is wise. 


10. Esteem - Prov. 12: 8 - A man will be commended according to his wisdom. 


11. Receptivity - Prov. 12: 15 - he who heeds counsel is wise. 


12. Health through right speaking - Prov. 12: 15 - The tongue of the wise promotes health. 


13. Strong family bonds - Prov. 13: 1 - A wise son heeds his father's instruction.


14. Well advised - Prov. 12: 12 - With the well advised is wisdom. 


15. Life - Prov. 13: 14 - The law of the wise is a fountain of life. 


16. Understanding - Prov. 14: 8 - The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way. 


17. Departs from evil - Prov. 14: 16 - A wise man fears (has sound reverence) and departs from evil. 


18. Riches - Prov. 14: 24 - The crown of the wise is their riches. (a crown denotes a position of royalty)
