Happy 4th

FREEDOM - www.mylesyoung.comHappy 4th of July to everyone. Thank God for the liberty that we have here in the United States of America. Over the last year over 70 different nations have been represented by visitors to my blog. Many of the visitors have been from countries that do not have the freedom and liberty that we are blessed to have here in the USA. On this 4th of July I am not only saying prayers of thanksgiving but I am also offering up petitions to all of you that are living under oppressive governments. Lets agree together in prayer for the nations that the gospel of Jesus Christ would penetrate the bondage and bring freedom for lost souls. Many of you have come to this blog from Muslim countries. I am praying for you. There is a great revival of Christianity taking place in your part of the world. Keep crying out to God. His name is Jesus Christ. I am reading many new reports of Muslim people who are having dreams and vision of Jesus Christ. Reach out for him, he is as close as the mention of his name.

Repent of your sins, be baptized in water in the name of Jesus Christ and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

You can have eternal life. God loves you unconditionally! You can receive his love now , on this earth.

I am praying for all of you that are trying to find truth. Truth has a name = Jesus.
This is the freedom that goes beyond the boundaries of nations. The bondage of men cannot stifle the freedom of the soul!

Happy 4th of July!

"What A Friend We Have In Jesus"

Pastor Crawford, myself & Pastor Budgell

Scriven's little house

Beautiful "Rice" lake





Joseph Scriven was young Irish student who settled in Ontario Canada around 1849. He became the tutor to the family of a retired British Naval Officer named Pengelly. He lived in the little house over looking "Rice Lake". He fell in love with Pengelly's daughter and they were engaged to be married. The day before their wedding, she drowned in "Rice Lake". With his heart broken he penned the words to a poem and mailed it to his mother. It was entitled "Pray Without Ceasing". As the years went by the poem was set to music and given a new title "What a friend We Have in Jesus".

As I looked at the graves of Joseph Scriven and his sweetheart and gazing down the hill to "Rice Lake", I could not help but think, "blessings come from the strangest places"! This little place is out in the middle of nowhere. This was just a common man who experienced a gut-wrenching heart-ache. Here I was standing at his grave over a 100 years later and singing the poem that he had written so long ago. This song has become one of the most sung songs around the world. In China over 23 million people sing it every year. Scriven could never have imagined that his struggle would produce such a song of blessing for so many.

You may be going through a hard time right now and you feel like everything has gone crazy. You may not write a great song but I can tell you that out of your struggle can come great blessing as time goes by. I have thought about my own life over the last few days and remembered how God carried my through some very trying times. As time has gone by the difficulties that I had to face have become a source of faith, because I know that if God brought me through that situation then he will carry me through whatever I face today.

Keep your head up! You may have tears running down your cheeks but look to the hills from whence cometh your help. Your gonna make it.

Who knows, you may write the next great hymn!


p.s. Thanks to Pastor Crawford for taking me to Scriven's grave.

Our world is in need of a Saviour

Pastor C Myles Young and Nolan CorbittWe are all aware of the struggles taking place in Iraq and how they impacting our world. Everyday we wake up to new stories and issues in this fight for freedom across the seas. Our world is in need of a Saviour. A few days ago Nolan Corbitt from my church left to fulfill his duty in Iraq. I am sure that many of you have family and friends that are also serving our great country somewhere around the world. We need to uphold all of our brothers and sisters with daily prayer. Pray not only for their safety but pray also for the wives and children that are at home. Put yourself in their place. How would you want someone to pray for you and your family. We are the body of Christ, so let's do our best to take care of our brothers and sisters during this tumultous time in their lives.

Cry of Lost Humanity

The Cry of Lost Humanity - The Lost Lamb - Pastor Myles YoungCan you hear the cry of a lost and dying world? Grab your wrist and feel your pulse...with every beat of your heart another soul dies and enters eternity, never hearing the gospel of Jesus Christ. My soul is heavy this morning as a read the news and check my email. Everyone is busy in the kingdom but how many have we really saved from hell.
The scripture teaches that we are to bear fruit and that we are blessed to be a blessing but how many people that sit on our pews every week have ever one a soul to Christ? We get so caught up in the pull of the American culture and work our fingers to the bone to have nice cars, houses, toys & vacations.
Please don't misunderstand me, I love the very same things and do my best to have a good life, but I feel the Holy Ghost pressing me this morning to remember the "cause". We are to preach this message of truth to the lost and convert the sinner. Anything short of this is a case of missed placed priorities. As you go about your day and week look for opportunities to share Jesus with the world.
I challenge you to win one soul to Christ this year.

Liberia Revival

Liberia Pastor Myles YoungBro BJ Wilmoth just returned today from Liberia. I spoke with him briefly. He was pumped up! 152 people received the Holy Ghost at the conference he preached. Some incredible things took place. Lord willing he is going to check in and give us a "KINGDOM" report after he gets over his jet-lag. Pray for the Stewarts as they continue to lead the revival in Liberia.

THE MISSION

World Missions - Pastor Myles Young - The Rock ChurchWe sang, we danced, we cried, we partied and we gave. It was World Missions Sunday and what a time we had. Bishop John Wayabire form Uganda was with us here at TRC. Much of the congregation dressed in native clothing from various countries. It was a sight to behold (Some of them I am not sure what country they represented, looked like the flea market). It was a total blast, but it was also a place where we submitted our will to the will of the Holy Ghost. There is a planet on course for eternal judgement and we are the ones who hold the key to grace that will set them free from the curse of sin. Let us never forget the words "for whosoever will". What can we do this month to help propagate the gospel to a lost and dying world for after all this is what our purpose is.

Pastor B J Wilmoth goes to Liberia

LiberiaHey everybody my man B J Wilmoth is in Liberia. He is preaching a convention and doing some very exciting investigative work on a whole new open door of ministry in Africa. He is going to be meeting with a key leader of a large church that recently visited TRC. Send some prayer coverage up for him and his crusade team as they minister in Africa. I believe that Africa is ripe for the biggest apostolic revival in the history of the world. This is only the beginning. Bro Wilmoth is going to be checking in with me while he is there and I will be posting the results of what God is up to there in Liberia.

AFRICA FOR JESUS

Priscilla McGruder

Keep Priscilla in your prayers. The doctors reports look grim but somehow I hear someone singing "What once look like a mountains just a hill, from heaven's point of view" and "It aint over till its over". If you have ever been blessed by this singing family then spend a little extra time around the throne for their sake.

Tornado in Tennessee

Please join with me in prayer for Rev Donald & Bridgette Lance. Their church was destroyed last night by the tornado that struck Jackson, Tennessee. He and his family were in the church with 3 other families when the tornado struck. They are ok but he is asking for us to pray that God would give him direction on how to lead his congregation through this devastating time. His faith is high but keep them in your prayers. I believe God is going to use this terrible event to somehow grow his kingdom.
