#7 = God's number of completion!

This picture represents so much to me! *REPOST FROM JUNE 2015* I know it is long, but a necessary post for me, to give God the praise and honor He so greatly deserves. May I just say how blessed and honered I am to be a part of Clanton Church of God and the choir under the ministering of Wilma Kelley. When God gives you a revelation, that you share with your pastor, and God in turn gives the same revelation to him. It is a powerful experience, that just leaves you in awe of how God works, knowing it was His divine planning and ordering of our steps. Sunday 6-7-15 was a promise from God, unlike anything I have experienced spiritually thus far, and it has just blessed me greatly. One thing I will say, is don't ever tell God you won't be doing this or that, because if it be His will He is going to show you otherwise. I realized this when I got home and sit back, and it sunk in that God saw fit to use me to give out a message in tongues to be interpreted by someone else and for me to interpret a message given out in tongues by someone, within the same service. Just like I will never forget getting saved, getting baptized in water, baptized in the Holy Ghost for the first time, I can't forget this. The first time this has happened to me in a main church service, realizing that not all baptized in the Holy Ghost will receive this gift, that there is a sincerity too it, with this gift comes a great responsibility with it and an understanding, that although I have experienced this in a small group setting or home Bible study, God is choosing to take me to a deeper level with Him, which was evident by my tongues changing Sunday, knowing immediately something within me was changing. See, it sounded different. It felt different, it was a unique experience. I come home and became so overwhelmed yet humbled of what God did, all in one service to get His point across. He got His point across even more, when Sunday afternoon a feeling came over me that I knew immediately this is this church I will be in, this will be my church home, until the Lord comes to get me. The Lord immediately told me to count the churches I had been a part of prior to this one, when I got to Clanton Church of God, I was at #7, which we know signifies God's number of completion. I look back over the last year and can't praise God enough for the spiritual growth I have experienced in this church. God brings you through everything to get you to the point to complete the work He has started in you. When I shared this with my pastor, I seen his face light up and you could tell God was showing him something. I didn't know what he was doing when he got a pen and piece of paper, and started writing, but when he looked up at me, he said Clanton Church of God is my 7th church that I have pastored and it has been almost 20 years since I came here. Everything at that moment made sense to both of us, and the expression on Bro. Boatwright's face and that moment will forever be in my mind. The pieces to the puzzle now fit. I can't even begin to tell you how the anointing and Holy Ghost moved and spoke to hearts tonight, through my obedience of being the Lord's mouthpiece and willing vessel to teach this Wednesday night class on the Holy Ghost. Knowing it has nothing to do with me. It is all for God's glory. It is the anointing that breaks the yoke and makes the difference. You better believe there is a price to be paid for the anointing, but I am grateful for that price that has been paid, because through it comes the power to witness with boldness and confidence to spread the gospel and be more like Jesus, keeping your life in line with God's Word, learning to do God's will without boasting or arrogance. I am just thankful to be a small part of what God is doing and fixing to do in and through this church knowing that the enemy will never win with his pitiful attempts to try and stop God's plan. God has complete authority, has more power, and He is greater than any attack, hindrance or opposition. I am prepared for end time ministry. I stand behind my Lord and my church family, knowing His hand of protection is upon us, His holy angels encamp around us, as He continually pours out His Holy Spirit presence, favor, blessings, love, grace, and mercy on this church. May we be open to what God wants to do, continually yielding ourselves to God, so He can do a work in us. Forget the former things, forget the past mistakes that are null and void, for we have reached a new season of fresh anointing, healing and restoration where God shall surely do a new thing in and through us. With love and appreciation for the God I serve and for this church, my place of worship, in my heart and in my prayers. Kimberly. <3

Pastor Boatwright, once again thank you for your continued faithfulness to serve, obedience to God, refusal to compromise the word of God, refusal to desert the Pentecostal heritage and beliefs, and allowing the Holy Ghost to move freely in services where there is liberty for spiritual gifts to be in operation without restraint or limitation, but for also having the discernment and wisdom to keep things in order. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. We never stop growing this side of glory, thank you for the opportunity and ministry in which to keep going and growing in the Lord!
