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.

Three conditions in the body of Christ that the Holy Spirit wants to heal this year -

11/7/2018

0 Comments

 
Too Dry, Too Cold, Too Hot




The Bible says it’s better to be hot spiritually rather than cold. Rev. 3:15 
What I am discussing in this blog is different than the description in this scripture. 




This blog relates to the spiritual and emotional atmospheres or climate around us that can impact our vitality in the kingdom of God. I want to examine how the spiritual climate, can parallel the natural climate. It can effect people, animals and even the environment. Jesus would contrast the kingdom of God to the natural realm many times in His teachings. Matt. 13: 44 & 47.




I also want to discuss how the “rest” of God, and the 
"ways" of God in the Spirit, can bring healing to these three conditions.




    1    Too Dry - (Spiritual drought due to religious works of the flesh) When it’s too dry, we need the rain of the Holy Spirit to refresh and revive what’s dormant inside of us.
    2    Too Cold - (Spiritual coldness due to lack of love) When it’s too cold, we need the fire of the Holy Spirit to revitalize our love for God and others. We need the Holy Spirit’s Fire to thaw out the frozen stasis that the body of Christ has been in. (Like the frozen lizards falling from the trees in Florida this year)
    3    Too Hot- (Spiritually being overheated and overcharged with the cares of life) When it’s too hot, we need the wind and the rain of the Holy Spirit to energize us. We need to REST in the presence of God in order to restore our over heated souls. Psalm 23. We need the refreshing rain of the Holy Spirit to heal our parched body and revive our energy.




We slow down in the natural realm when it’s too dry, too cold, or too Hot. The same is true in the spiritual realm as well.




May we receive the perfect balance of the power of the Holy Spirit, hearing and obeying the anointed Word of God, and His divine rest, to receive major breakthroughs of; healing, restoration and abundance in these three areas of our lives this year.




Too Dry - 




It’s a known fact that when our bodies are dehydrated from not enough water, they slow down to reserve fluids. It’s a built in survival mechanism that God has created within the systems of our body. 




It’s also a known fact that in every desert there are dormant seeds that have survived for millennia. As soon as refreshing rains hit those deserts, the seeds suddenly come back to life and burst forth into bloom.




Too Cold- 




Definition of stasis - a state of inactivity or equilibrium. A slow down of body fluids and blood. 




This definition came to life this year with lizards in Florida falling from trees when the temperature dropped. Many thought the lizards were dead, but in reality were just in a frozen state of stasis in order to survive the cold blast. As soon as the temperature warmed up, they suddenly came back to life! 




I believe this to be an amazing analogy in the body of Christ as well. When the fire of the Holy Spirit begins to increase in our lives, many will suddenly come back from the proverbial “dead”!




Too Hot -




During what’s called the “dog days of summer” the weather becomes hazy hot, and humid. It seems that all movement outside tends to slow down to reserve fluids. This again is to preserve life. 




In some hot weather countries, and European countries during the summer, workers actually take siestas (nap) in the middle of the day. 




The Spanish word siesta means nap and came from the Latin word hora sexta. Meaning the sixth hour. During the warmest parts
Of the day, many in Europe close down their shops for a midday meal and rest. This is usually done during the hottest hours of the day, and can last from two to three hours. This allows energy to be restored for greater creativity and health.




Many still practice this during the colder months for family time and eating fuller meals in the afternoon. It was used for not only bonding during the family meal time, but allowed for digesting the fuller meals.




Wikipedia states, “that the siesta habit has resulted in a 37 percent reduction in coronary mortality, possibly due to reduced cardiovascular stress mediated by daytime sleep.”




Knowing these facts can help us better appreciate the supernatural “rest” the Lord has called the Body of Christ into. 




During seasons of slow down, we need to receive the Rest of God, the Ways of God and the Word of the Lord in any given situation, in order to restore and revive our souls.




How does being a doer of the Word bring rest to our bodies and souls? -




One of the ways we can be a doer of the Word of God is by the action of praying in the Spirit or praying in tongues. There is no more perfect language than the language of our Father in revitalizing our body. 




When we come together corporately and pray in the Spirit we tap into a limitless reservoir of refreshing which brings strength from the Father, through the Holy Spirit. 




This is why the enemy always tries to shut down prayer in tongues within the body of Christ.




Isaiah 28:11 - 12- For with stammering lips and another tongue, He (God) will speak to this people, 12 To whom He said, “This is the REST with which You may cause the weary to REST,” and, “This is the REFRESHING”; 
Yet the would not HEAR.




Definition of weary
wearier; weariest
1
: exhausted in strength, endurance, vigor, or freshness
2
    •            : expressing or characteristic of weariness a weary sign
3
    •            : having one's patience, tolerance, or pleasure exhausted —used with of soon grew weary of waiting




We are to labor to enter God’s rest this year -




Hebrews 3:7 - 11 - Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says;
    1    Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in the wilderness,
    2    Where your fathers tested Me, tried Me, and saw My works forty years.
    3    Therefore I was angry with that generation, and said, “They always go astray in their heart, and they have not known My ways.”
    4    So I swore in My wrath, “They shall not enter My REST.”




Hebrews 4:1 - Therefore since a promise remains of entering His REST, let us fear (reverence the Lord in this) lest any of you seem to have come short of it.




Hebrews 3:19- So we see that they (Israel in the wilderness) could not enter in (to the REST of God) because of UNBELIEF.




Hebrews 4: 3- For we who have believed (have faith) do enter that REST,




So the REST of God is the evidence of being in faith towards God, knowing His ways, trusting Him with all our heart, and obeying His word.




Other keys to healing these three areas, is to watch what we hear and say -




We must hear from heaven this year. We must watch our words in order to say what God is saying in a given situation. This gives the angels something to work with on our behalf. 




All of this requires a sincere love relationship with our Father through the Lord Jesus Christ, and the indwelling Holy Spirit. There are no formulated short cuts for anyone! 




John 5: 19 - Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son of man can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.




Every time we say something, ask ourselves if that is the reality that we want this year? The power of life and death is in the tongue. We will eat the fruit of our lips, either good or bad! 




So we need to declare what the word says over our lives this year. Not our symptoms, not our soulish feelings, not what we see in the natural realm.




May the Lord increase us and our children more and more this year. Ps. 115:14




May we receive the rain, fire and wind of the Holy Spirit this year in greater measure to bring total healing to the body of Christ.




May we be healed from
spiritual drought (too dry due to religious works), spiritual coldness (too cold due to lack of love), and being spiritually overheated (too hot from being overcharged with the cares of life)
