There is a Thirst for True Holiness Teaching
Hebrews 9:20
Acts 2:37-38
Romans 5:8-9
Thank God for the Name
It is about soul saving.  I get excited about the blood Jesus for me.
Isaiah 44:6; 43:10; 9:6
Before God there was no savior and there will not be a savior after him.  Don't forget who Jesus is.  The same God that got us here is the same God
that will get us there.  
Matthew 1:21
We are at a time now when Church is becoming a fashion show.  When trouble comes you are going to need some power.  Salvation is in his name.  
Salvation means deliverance.  Sin is the number one killer of the human race.  Testament means covenant, and without the shedding of blood there
is no covenant.  The Blood is in the Name.  God came down through 42 generations to do a new thing.  The Blood is not going to lie and it will tell
who the Father is.  
Luke 24:45
He opened up their understanding so they could understand what they were preaching.  Sin is in your DNA and God said you need a blood
transfusion.  He is coming back for those that have the Blood.  Now you have to have the Holy Ghost.  
Sin puts you out of the will of God, but
not out of the family of God because he whips you until you repent.

Council Theme:  
Unity, Praise, & Worship-Results:  Empowerment!
Speaker:  Missionary Elaine Edwards
The People of God SHOULD have the Mind of Unity
Ephesians 4:1-7,16,31-32
Unity is a small word but it is a powerful word.  In these last days we don't want to be powerless but powerful.  That Holy Ghost power helps us to
Love others even they don't love us back.  Unity should be within yourself.  Satan does not want unity.  We want to be on the right track tonight and
that is unity and praise.  We believe in one and we should be one in the spirit.  Why can't we be one in the spirit?  We become a new creature when
we go down in Jesus Name.  Help me put on the new man.  He is looking for oneness.  People are looking for a way out, can they look on us the
saints of God and see Jesus?  What a mighty God we serve.  Can we stand up to our calling of holiness?  God is looking for Holiness everyday.  We
should be the same every year and at the same level of growth in God.  We should want to be together in everything.  We want to see Jesus, but we
got to get it right.  None but the righteous shall see God.  We got to live right and treat each other right if we want to be with Jesus.  There are many
talents and gifts in the Church and we have to be mindful of each other.  We want Jesus to forgive us and be longsuffering to us so we need to be
forgiving and longsuffering to each other.  When it comes down to the final analysis of it, are we one?  It is time to get it right.  We ought to be further
along than we are now.  We got to have one mind.  If we could get one mind and get together, then we could see the same kind of miracles they saw
in the Bible days.  Nobody should come and leave the same way they came.  Are you looking for something or did you just come?  I want to see
Jesus.  We should see Jesus in each other.  It is time to go back to praising and magnifying God with power and come to the house of God expecting
something.  God has done too much for us to just sit here.  We got to do it right.  On the day of Pentecost they were looking for something.  Don't
come in here and just sit down.  
Come looking for something and you will receive something.

Unity:  One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism
Speaker: District Elder John Marble
Deuteronomy 6:1-7
Hear O Israel the Lord our God is One Lord.  God wants us to teach our children there is only one God.  
Isaiah 43:10-11
I am God all by myself and I don't need anybody else.  Why are you trying to find a God in anything else?  Stop trying to find God in anything else
because I am God all by myself.  We are serving the same God.  Wherever you go he is the same God.  Nobody can stop God and who can stop
him.  You can't do anything without God.  You can't curse what God has blessed.  No matter what the devil tries to do he cannot curse what God has
blessed.  We as the children of God need to learn how to forgive each other.  He will not dig up what you did yesterday.
Isaiah 45:5-6, 9:6
Stop trying to make everybody happy and realize that there is only one God.
Matthew 1:23
John 1:1-3, 3:16, 10:30
Galatians 2:20
Revelations 4:2,4
There is only one throne in Heaven.
James 2:19
The devil believes there is one God so don't let anyone convince you there are anymore Gods.
Ephesians 4:5
Stop trying to talk about your Brother because he is different.
1Corinthians 12:12
There is only one Body and one Spirit.  The devil is trying to divide us and conquer us.  One man is easy to conquer but there is strength in
numbers.  
We need to stop allowing the adversary cause us to split apart.  
Acts 2:1

Unity:  How to get to Unity
Ephesians 4:11-13
The process to get to unity: Unity means oneness, harmony, and working together.  We must get an attitude of meekness and come to a place
where we humble ourselves.  Longsuffering and forbearing one another in Love.  We must develop a mentality of who we are and where we should
be.  If we are going to reach unity, then we must realize that we are for edifying and perfecting the body.  Always be focused on the fact that God will
get the Glory.  We should be working to become one and doing the same thing.  These are the last of the last of the last days.  Be honest with
yourself and realize that your anointing is not greater than others.  Let's make it about God and not about who is best dressed, or anything else.  It
was God that called us into the ministry and not us.  When we get unity our praise will be real.  
On the day of Pentecost they were with one
accord. If we want to see God show up, then get with one accord.

Pastor Alfred Warren
Council Theme:  Unity, Praise, & Worship-Results:  Empowerment!
John 4:4
The spiritual and the carnal will grow together.  If we all get in the spirit, then we can have unity.  The wheat and the tare will grow together and as
long as we have the flesh we will have conflict.  He that winneth souls is wise.  You have to use wisdom to win souls.  When the music stops, will you
stop praising him?  It may be 12 o'clock in my situation but God is still with me.  Your stronghold doesn’t matter because God is going to get you
through.  It is time out for things that does not matter.  You cannot satisfy a spiritual thirst with natural means.  We cannot humble ourselves until we
get a revelation of who God is.  Once you realize who God is then you need to come before him with a repentant attitude.  If you want to worship
God, then you must confess your sins and just be real with it.  Worship is a lifestyle and it is not about a place or a location.  If you are good at
church, then be good at home.  We can't go forward when there is sin in the body.  Now we have to take God out of the spiritual box.  Let God arise
and let his enemies be scattered.  Spirit means everything within you.  Your deliverance is going to have to be deliberate.  When a man thinks about
doing right then he will do right.  So a man thinketh in his heart so is he.   God is a spirit and those that worship him must worship him in spirit and in
truth.  When you start praising him in the spirit then things will start to go well.  We are praising him with our lips and we must praise him in our spirit.  
We must get to the point where we don’t leave church the same way we came.
