Pastor Arlen

Good morning CCAK family,

God is really moving quickly and powerfully. Last Sunday the Lord was revealing so many prophetic pictures and words throughout the congregation. I encourage you to share those with each other so that we can pray better for each other and support one another as we seek to become who God has made us to be.

Read Psalm 90 this week and meditate on Ephesians 3:10.

Next saturday (3/13/10) we will once again help out at Michael Paulo’s concert. We’re looking for 10 ushers and already have 4 committed for this concert.

Training for new ushers is at 5:30pm. Those who came to the last concert may arrive at 6pm when VIP guests arrive.

This will be at the Royal Hawaiian Theater in Waikiki.

Please park in either the Royal Hawaiian or Sheridan parking lots.

Dress is aloha attire. Long pants and aloha shirt for men and dresses or aloha outfits for ladies.

Ushering will end after the intermission, however you may choose to stay and enjoy the rest of the concert free of charge and responsibility.

Blessings…

Pastor Arlen

Enjoy!

2010: A Year of Germination of Seeds that Have Been Planted Over Many Years
John 12:24 Verily, Verily, I say unto you except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.

It’s as though these Seeds were Shouting, “Our Season of Death is Over!”

In the Spirit I am hearing a sound I have never heard before. It’s a sound from seeds that God had planted through us that have died inside the stony hearts of many people. There had been a long season when these seeds were not heard from at all. They were silenced by death. But in spite of death, these seeds now were beginning to groan as though death itself could not keep them any longer. The very life of Christ within these seeds was now beginning to overcome death and I saw a sprouting taking place that seemed to begin to shake the gates of Hell off its hinges! It’s as though these seeds were shouting, “Our season of death is over! Hallelujah, we are now coming alive!” Seeds that had died with unfulfilled dreams of God inside of them were now beginning to come alive, worshiping their Creator, as they were beginning to sprout.

“Fields of dreams” were coming true! Seeds that were planted many years ago up to this present day were beginning to germinate. Seeds we had sown of the Word of God, acts of kindness and even smiles were bringing in a harvest as germination was taking place inside of many for whom we had forgotten and given up hope.

Pregnant with God’s Dream!

Ecclesiastes 11:4-6 He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap. As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all. In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.

Both of our daughters are expecting our first two grandchildren a month apart this year. We have been saturated with ultrasounds. Ultrasounds are amazing to look at. You begin by seeing something so small at first, and then the little members of the body begin to grow. We can’t figure out how that happens, but it’s the seed that makes it all happen! I believe this year will be a year of record-breaking germination taking place in the wombs of many women…even a year of surprise babies!

To germinate means “to begin to or cause to grow, or sprout.” When a seed falls into the ground and dies it looks different as it begins to sprout and surface. Many ministries, jobs and dreams that have seemingly been terminated will begin to germinate and spring forth suddenly, appearing different with new dimensions this coming year. The enemy is not cutting anything away from you, but God is pruning us all to look to Him for everything.

Don’t focus on your dead dream, dead job or dead ministry; listen to that seed that is now groaning to come forth in newness of life. Some jobs that have been terminated in one place will germinate in another place. Your gift will make room for you. Your gift has outgrown the room you were in! You will now need a larger room for your gift. The place where you get pregnant with God’s dream is not always the same place where you give birth to it.

Seeds Have Died Forever (so you thought)!

Many seeds that have been planted inside of us by the Holy Spirit and have seemingly died forever (so you thought) are now beginning to make a noise and groan. Even things that we “thought” God had told us were over…aren’t.

Twenty-five years ago I had co-written a song with a brother, which was recorded by several people, and was a blessing to many. After several years the song seemed to have finished its course of being heard. Once in a while I would type in the name of the song to see if its season was really over. I became convinced that the song had a certain season and that was it. Just two months ago, I typed in the name of the song on the iTunes store and up came the song “It’s All Taken Care of, Thanks to You” just recorded by Claudelle Clarke, the queen of Reggae Gospel music from Jamaica who has been singing for forty years now. I contacted her, and since the publishing company I had signed with closed down fifteen years ago, she was unable to find the authors of the song. Sometimes when our name is overlooked or forgotten, God often uses a seed we planted to cause others to reap blessings where they did not sow and to take it further than we ever could.

In 1 Corinthians 3:6, Paul says, “I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.”

Galatians 6:9 “And let us not become weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”

I am learning it’s when I feel like fainting—is when I am actually doing well from God’s point of view, and that a seed that I have sown is beginning to groan and sprout somewhere in some place, or in somebody, or in some nation!

Walk Each Step With the Spirit

Read Joshua 6-8.

In Joshua 6, God gave Joshua a plan and strategy to take the city of Jericho. How many of us want to take our cities for the Lord. He has a strategy, if we will seek Him.

Basically the strategy that worked with Jericho was this:

• Send spies to see the city
• March around the city for 7 days
• Shout
• Attack
• Consecrate all the treasure to the Lord

After that victory, Joshua gets ready to attack the next city and he uses a similar strategy. After all, the Lord promised them the land. But what Joshua wasn’t aware of is that certain members had sinned by keeping some of the treasure for themselves.

And without seeking the Lord, Joshua planned to use the same strategy that worked on the second city.

• He sent spies
• The city was small so the spies recommended a smaller army be sent
• They went to battle
• They were defeated

So Joshua falls face down before the ark of the Lord. He’s humbled himself before the presence of God and He’s crying out why. He even goes into the complaining that he heard from his people all throughout his life.

And I love how the Lord tells him to “Get up! Why do you lie thus on your face?” Basically the Lord is saying, what are you doing?

The Lord tells him why they failed and gives him a strategy to take the city. So Joshua consecrates the people and the Lord brings the victory by his strategy.

This is a season to walk each step with the Lord.

We can’t rely on what has worked in the past because we will find that it doesn’t work the same.

Some things never change. We must still be a holy people. We must still consecrate ourselves. But the strategies of the Lord for each day and each battle will change.

Read Joshua 9 and see what happened again when Joshua didn’t seek the Lord and once again lived by sight and not by faith.

We desire to learn from those mistakes and lessons of the past. So let’s commit to walk each step with the Lord. Take each day to the Lord. Perhaps most days you will not get clear directions. That’s the Lord’s trust in you to make your own decisions.

Other days the Lord will give you a specific strategy or ask you to do a specific task. That’s where obedience to the Lord needs to take over. When we don’t understand, we walk by faith.

Why march around the city for 7 days? Because we’re obeying the voice of the Lord.

Why split your army in two? Because we’re obeying the voice of the Lord.

Why change what’s working? Simply because the Lord has given us a new strategy.

The winds of change are blowing. Do you hear the sound of it? Then set sail according to the blowing of the Spirit.

Blessings,

Pastor Arlen

Kapolei Elem. School 9:15a.m.

Good Morning CCAK Family!

Wow, what a powerful conference this past weekend with Randy Clark. I had never met or heard Randy before, but he was such a wonderful speaker. He was down to earth, a wonderful speaker, and powerful minister.

This Sunday, Joe will be sharing with us a testimony of what God did for him this past weekend. You know his testimony that he got into a car accident racing at the raceway in Kapolei. And because of that he had many screws and bars placed in his leg to rebuild it after the accident. Stay tuned to hear what God did this Sunday and how God used him to minister to another man at the conference.

Freely you have received, freely give!

Blessings to you all!

Love,

Pastor Arlen

And Randy Clark is coming to town!

Remember next weekend we have a special inter-church event.

Same place, worship starts at 8:00am.

There are some important things you need to know as you come to these events.

There is no registration or registration fee required to attend.

But we will be enforcing strict guidelines especially in the area of parking and childcare.

There is no childcare and children will not be allowed to play and roam around unsupervised without a parent. We do reserve the right to forbid entry or remove anyone from our premises as necessary.

We will be blocking off the playground area and children will not be allowed to play in this area during the sessions.

We will have a room available for younger children, but they must be supervised by at least one parent, even while in the room.

We are encouraging the older children to sit in the conference with their parent to learn.

Parking at the church will be reserved for people with a valid City and County handicap permit, our conference staff, and pre-authorized volunteers.

We suggest carpooling. There is plenty of on street parking. Please be respectful of the neighbors and avoid blocking their driveways. We will not be responsible for cars that are towed and/or ticketed.

There are several eateries in the Kaimuki/Palolo area. Lunch and dinner are on your own. Please plan accordingly.

Also, some will be wondering about tithing and offerings.

It is the heart of Laulima that all tithes remain with the churches. Please give your tithe in advance this Sunday or the following week when we’re back at Kapolei Elementary School.

There will be an offering taken for Randy Clark. No registration fee to attend. But that being said, Laulima is investing literally thousands of dollars to bring Randy and his assistant to Hawaii so we would like to bless him for sowing into the revival of Hawaii.

This is a very unique circumstance and we ask for your cooperation, patience, and understanding. What a great opportunity we have to experience what Revival would be like!

Can’t wait to be with you this weekend and next!

Love,
Pastor Arlen
