Our Mission To love all people at all times and lead them into a new life in Christ.
Our Vision To be a church that will be multicultural and generational, having a lasting impact on the people to whom we minister.
To see the gospel extend beyond the walls of our church through various outreaches.

Paul was a full gospel preacher who proclaimed the whole will of God. His preaching was accompanied by signs, miracles and Holy Ghost power.
Acts 20:27 “I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the whole will of God.”
Romans 15:18-19 I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles to obey God by what I have said and done — by the power of signs and miracles, through the power of the Spirit. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.
May we all be “full Gospel” Christians. The word gospel means “good news”. We are to preach not just some of God’s “good news but all of it.”
There are those that believe that the baptism with the Holy Spirit speaking in tongues as the evidence of our Spirit baptism, gifts of the Spirit, healing, miracles, power over demons, the authority of the believer, mountain-moving faith, doing the mighty works Jesus did has all passed away. I have not read anywhere in Scripture where God intended for this things to have been only for the early church.
We read in Mark chapter 16 where Jesus appeared to the eleven before He was taken up into Heaven. He gave them a commission to do and as born again believers we have that same assignment. Verse 15, 17 and 18 “He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well. Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it.”
The world we are called to is the one we go out in everyday to whosoever is placed in our path to minister to. Ministering the good news of the “Gospel.”
As of March 2018 we (New Life) will make our final mortgage payment! This will free us to be able to do so many things. Over the past several months we have been able to do a lot of needed repairs to the church. But there are a few more things that need attention. These things will be taken care of in the next few months. This will also will free us to be able to do outreaches to the community. Not only to Adair but the surrounding areas as well. People don’t know how much you care until you show them. What a exciting time to be part of what God is doing. It doesn’t take a great number of people to make a difference. Just a few with a heart to serve and see lives changed for the glory of God.
To celebrate this great milestone we will have a “Debt Free-Celebration” on Sunday, April 8. Following the morning service we will have lunch. Make plans now to be part of this exciting time.
Thank you for your faithfulness in every way to the ministry of New Life. The best is yet to come!
You will surely forget your trouble, recalling it only as waters gone by. Job 11;16
Trouble comes to all of us at one time or another. For some it may be the loss of a child, a sudden loss of a job, unexpected doctor’s report. Whatever it may be we do have the promise, “this too shall pass.” We sang a song here at New Life-’troubles they don’t last always for there is a friend in Jesus who will wipe away your tears-with Jesus I can take it with Him I know I can stand no matter what may come by way my life is in your hands.”
Let us consider Job. He was a man who knew about trouble. When he lost everything, his wife told him to curse God and die. He refused and instead, responded to God in faith. In the end Job was given twice as much as he had before. The enemy of our souls wants to wear us out and to wear us down. He does this in very subtle ways little by little day by day. He wants you to believe that it is always going to be this way. But God-He restores double for your trouble! “Even today I declare that I will restore double to you.” Zechariah 9:12
You may have been through some trouble, or are going thru some trouble but God is the One Who brings restoration. Isaiah 61:7 says, “For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.”
I need to prophesy to somebody and tell you that today is your day for a turn around. And I decree to you that in the very same place that the enemy said it was going to end, you’re going to step into a new beginning and the greatest blessing of your life. That thing that has been troubling you is only a launching pad to breakthrough. Just that quick I believe things are shifting in your favor!!!
“So we may boldly say; The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” Hebrews 13:6
Confidence in God’s presence and His promises is the real reason the writer of Hebrews can quote Psalms 27:1 and Psalms 118:6. God’s Word is forever settled in Heaven. In the verse before the one above the writer remembers the promise that said “I will never leave you nor forsake you; no never.” Our “work” we must fulfill is to know God, believe in and know Jesus, and do His will for us.
Is there a person you trust enough to do everything they tell you to do? That would challenge me if I had to answer that question. I know some people I would trust to help me in any situation, but to say that I would feel comfortable doing everything they told me to do would be questionable. The reason would be that I don’t believe that they know everything necessary to be sure I could trust them. Hosea wrote of God saying, “My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge.” Humans, at best, are not perfect in thought or performance but I know one who is, Jesus. As one with God we can put our trust in all they say and all they do.
Hosea also said, “Because they have rejected knowledge, I will reject them.” Our primary task in life is to learn how to know and trust God in everything. That only happens when we learn the Word of God and yield our will to the Holy Spirit. To know God’s Word helps us to realize how much we are blessed to be His child. We must trust God enough to believe for ourselves that He will never leave nor forsake us and He supplies all our need according to His riches in glory through Jesus Christ. I must realize that I am God’s favorite child and Abraham’s blessings are mine. YOU must do the same.
John 3:16 “This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn’t go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again. Anyone who trusts in him is acquitted; anyone who refuses to trust him has long since been under the death sentence without knowing it. And why? Because of that person’s failure to believe in the one-of-a-kind Son of God when introduced to him.”
God gave because he so loved. It was this love he had that caused him to give and when he did it was his very best.
Agape is the Greek word in the Bible for love. It is undefeatable benevolence and unconquerable good will that always seeks the highest good of the other person no matter what he does. It is the self giving love that gives freely without asking anything in return and does not consider the worth of its object.
God simply loves us and does so by choice not because we deserve it or can earn it. There are no strings attached in getting God’s love. We don’t have to perform for it or try to earn it by works.
The love our Heavenly Father has for us as his sons and daughters is a love by choice.
The Bible is the Word of God and we must believe that. But, we cannot believe it just to suit ourselves. Scripture says we must rightly divide the word of truth. We cannot interpret the word of God without ALL of it agreeing with our conclusion. Scripture cannot be interpreted by our way of thinking what is right. To understand the Bible we must learn to think like God and not use our human emotions or ideas to come to any conclusion. We cannot think like most humans think. How does one think like God? We are given that ability when the Spirit of God is abiding in our spirits.
One example is how God and man view sinners. God loves the sinner and desires that all men be saved. He loves no one more or less than anyone else. Even saved people can tend to hate or dislike sinners because of the way they live. They may even believe that the sinner should be the victim of God’s immediate wrath and base it on some scripture verse. But, Jesus said that He did not come to destroy life but to save it. He said He did not come into the world to condemn man but to save him.
The point I am trying to make is that we should not interpret any Scripture until we know that it can agree with all other Scriptures.
Now faith is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality—faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses]. Hebrews 11:1
This verse tells us that faith is a conviction that we have that regards something that allows us to be able to act on it as if it were assured of happening. This assurance where does it come from. We read in Hebrews 12:2 that Jesus is the author and perfecter of faith. Romans 12:3 tells us that God has allotted to each a measure of faith. Faith is a gift from God according to Ephesians 2:9. As we read these scriptures we see that God faith is a free gift from God and comes to us at our salvation. Jesus is the author (the originator) and the perfecter of faith (the one who perfects it in us). We have been given faith so it is not something that we make happen. It is developed as we give ourselves more and more to the Word. Romans 10:17…and faith comes from hearing and hearing by the word of God.
We have already have faith and we don’t have to white knuckled (so to speak) to make the Word work in our lives. Just believe. Faith is what causes us to believe that God’s Word is true. Even when we don’t see any evidence of it yet. The assurance we have is that God is faithful to His Word.
Romans 10:17 “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
Why doesn’t the scripture just read, “and faith comes by hearing by the word of God.” Before a person can believe, there must be something presented to them for them to believe. That something is the Word of God.
In Romans 10:16 Isaiah says, “Lord who has believed our report.” The word for “report” in Romans 10:16, and for “hearing” in Romans 10:17 comes from the same word but with just a slight difference of meaning. In the first part of Romans 10:17, “so then faith cometh by hearing or faith comes by report. This would involve the presenter of the word and those that hear which is reported by the one that presents the word.
What if we read Romans 10:17 ”so faith comes by report and hearing that report by the word of God.
We sing a song whose report are you going to believe. So I challenged you with this today, “whose report are you believing.”
Choose to believe the report of the Lord which is his Word!!

From Pastor Shirley
It is your move. God has already made his moved and now it is time for the sons and daughters of God to arise and advance. The word move means to go in a specified direction or manner, to proceed progress or advance.
Romans 12:3 says, “For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.” Since God is no respecter of person he has dealt to every man the measure of faith. According to Ephesians 2:8 it is a gift.“For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.” This is a supernatural faith imparted to you for you to live in this life as an overcomer. God has already given us everything we need to bring his Kingdom into the earth. We access the the promises of God through faith. Faith moves us not God.
That measure of faith grows as we hear the Word over and over again. Grace is what God has done and faith is what we do to bring the spiritual realm into the physical realm.
We do not have to work faith up. It is there living in our spirit man. Faith grows according to how much you expose yourself to the Word.
Romans 10:17 “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God”. You have got it just began to exercise what you have already.
James Wells, WROTE A SONG IN 1918 called, “Living by Faith”
I care not today what the morrow may bring,
If shadow or sunshine or rain,
The Lord I know ruleth o’er everything,
And all of my worries are vain.
Living by faith in Jesus above,
Trusting, confiding in His great love;
From all harm safe in His sheltering arm,
I’m living by faith and feel no alarm.
Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 5:6-7 “So then, being always filled with good courage and confident hope, and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord—for we walk by faith, not by sight [living our lives in a manner consistent with our confident belief in God’s promises].”
Paul says to us, “We have not made it home yet. We are not in the presence of the Lord yet. We have not got our glorified bodies yet. In the meantime while we are here in this world we continue to walk by faith not by sight.
Walking by faith and not by sight requires us to go to unfamiliar places at times. As we go God is faithful to reveal to us what is needed to continue as we walk in obedience to his word.
Matthew 1:21 “And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.
On the day of the birth of Jesus earth may have not know what was happening but Heaven did. All of Heaven’s angel’s were waiting in eager anticipation, waiting to break forth in praise to the birth of a newborn child, a child that meant that God had sent forth His salvation to earth.
Hebrew 2:14-15 tells us why Jesus came. “Therefore, since [these His] children share in flesh and blood [the physical nature of mankind], He Himself in a similar manner also shared in the same [physical nature, but without sin], so that through [experiencing] death He might make powerless (ineffective, impotent) him who had the power of death—that is, the devil—and [that He] might free all those who through [the haunting] fear of death were held in slavery throughout their lives.” The reason he became man was to die. So he had to be born a man in order to live and to experience death.
John 1:14 “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.” The Message Bible says it this way-”The Word became flesh and blood and move into the neighborhood.” Jesus left the glories of heaven to move into our neighborhood. Jesus chose to live among us so he would know what life was all about.
Luke 19:10 “For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” In this verse Jesus is announcing his mission-to seek and to save those that are lost.
Jesus birth was the beginning journey that was to end thirty three years later on a cross, and then through a resurrection to be glorified and exalted and restored back into Heaven to the glory that He knew before he came.
Jesus truly is the reason for the season. That is why we celebrate this glorious time of the year by showing the love of our Savior.
Now these things happened to them as an example and warning [to us]; they were written for our instruction [to admonish and equip us], upon whom the ends of the ages have come. 1 Corinthians 10:11
God’s Word is full of life experiences of men and women good or bad that have been placed there as examples for you and me. In the book of Genesis we have the story of Joseph which takes up 13 chapters of this book. When the Bible gives you so much information about one person I believe there is a lot we can learn from that person’s life experiences.
One such person is Joseph. When we think of Joseph our minds may immediately go to the coat of many colors his father made for him. But it is not about the coat. It is about the dream God gave Joseph. (Genesis 37:5-10) I don’t think he shared the dreams in spite or pride to his brothers. I believe Joseph was excited and he believed the dreams were from God about the purpose and plans for his life.
The enemy is after your dream. He does not want you to dream for there is power in a dreamer when it comes from the spirit of man.
When God puts a dream inside of you not everybody is going to celebrate with you. As it did for Joseph some of your strongest opposition may come from those that are the closest to you.
Joseph went from sharing the dream God had given him, to his coat begin stirpped from him, to the pit, to the palace. You never know where your dream will take you. Continue to trust God. After all He was the one who gave you the dream. If you remain faithful to Him you will see the fulfillment.
We have what we call emergency preparedness plans. At my place of employment we go through these plans once a year. Should there be a real life emergency we would know what to do. If there is such an occurrence of an emergency we would know in advance what to do. We should not have to run to find the emergency manual to find out because there may not be time.
In life we have circumstances come along and as sons and daughters of God we should be prepared to know what to do. That is why we stay in the Word, stay in fellowship with like believers, be connected strongly to a local church for a covering, fellowship with God through on going prayer (prayer is just talking to God) and be open to leading of Holy Spirit.
The Bible tells us about a man who encountered a situation. He heard of a great multitude of his enemy coming to battle against him and his people. This is a story of Jehoshaphat (2 Chronicles 20) and at the time he heard this news the enemy was only about 15 miles away. No time to run and find a manual on what he should do in this situation. The first thing Jehoshaphat did was to pray (he talk to God about the news he just heard.) Then he began to remember who God was and what he had done in the past. 2 Chronicles 20:15 we read, “Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.” You shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you. Fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you.
Whatever situation you may be facing do not fear or be dismayed. The battle is not yours but God’s. Fear is unbelief in disguise. Dismayed is loss of courage. Lean into God and rest in Him in time of trouble.
Isaiah 41:10 Do not fear [anything], for I am with you; Do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, be assured I will help you;I will certainly take hold of you with My righteous right hand [a hand of justice, of power, of victory, of salvation].
The message I ministered last week (Ministers of Truth) must
have shook the kingdom of darkness. I won’t go into detail of what I have experienced this week. God is faithful and I refuse to be silent. I have chosen to speak every day Romans 8:31 “What then shall we say to all these things? If God is for us (me), who can be [successful] against us (me)?”
We as sons and daughters of God have been given a voice to speak forth into the darkness of the World. We are the voice of God in the earth. As God’s representative on the earth, He has given us the authority to speak for Him. I believe that we are living in strategic times and the Lord is prompting us to be the voice of truth that will bring breakthrough. The enemy wants to silence your voice because we have been given and know the “truth” that will set people free.”
What is it that the enemy is using to try to silence your voice with;-a debt that you are concerned about how;-it is going to get paid; an ongoing health issue;-a child that is going the opposite way you have taught them;-a job that is struggle to go to every day;-a stronghold in your life that seems you cannot get victory over. The enemy uses every day life situations to shut us down, to silence our voice. If God’s Word is truth, why are you still struggling? Why are you having to go through what you are going through? These are the whispers of the enemy to silence you. After all how can you speak truth to someone else when you seem to can’t get the Word to work for you.
Don’t allow what you have not had a breakthrough in yet to silence your voice. Be a voice to someone else’s breakthrough and watch as God brings what you have been believing for to manifestation.
Believing and speaking truth is to trust God. Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in and rely confidently on the Lord with all your heart And do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know and acknowledge and recognize Him, And He will make your paths straight and smooth [removing obstacles that block your way].
That which is spoken in the secret place will be brought to the light. For I am giving you a voice to that which my spirit is speaking. No longer will the Church not have a voice. But you will have a voice to speak forth into the darkness of this World. The words that I will give you to speak will be words of truth that will shake the kingdom of darkness. I am the “Spirit of Truth” and in Me is there is no darkness. Truth will win, truth will prevail.
We are the voice of God in the earth. As God’s representative on the earth, He has given us the authority to speak for Him. I believe that we are living in strategic times and the Lord is prompting us to be the voice of truth that will bring breakthrough.
Many times God is waiting for something to be done, but He needs someone to began to speak his will. The Church (the body of Christ) is taking their place as we listen and obey what he is speaking to us in the secret place. We then become his mouthpiece in the earth. As the days darken we must learn to be His voice and speak His truth!
People are discouraged and frightened as nations are in turmoil and evil seems to be everywhere. The Church (sons and daughters of God) can stand in the gap and bring healing to the earth as we become God’s mouthpiece of hope and life. The Spirit of Truth who lives in give us everything we need to come against the spirit of darkness that wants to prevail.
Isaiah 58:12:“Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins and will raise up the age-old foundations; you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.”
“For this is the day of great rejoicing! I Am God of your yesterday, I Am God of today, and I Am God of your tomorrow. Why would you not rejoice. For I have given to you all things that pertain unto life and godliness. You have what you need in our hands. Use what is in your hands. As you go I will increase the Spirit of might upon you that you can go and receive all. So think not that you lack in anything. For surely I have given you everything you need to overcome in this life. Use what I have given you. Take that small thing in your hand and began to use it. As you use it I will multiply it and it will increase for my Glory. Yes people around you will began to say, ‘How can they do what they do?’ You will began to use it as a testimony to say, ‘Our God is awesome, our God is great, our God should be bowed to and give praise to.’ For surely by His hand we have come, we will overcome. Surely by His hand we can conquer all things.’
As followers of Christ we should rejoice always in good times and bad. The word tells Psalms 118:24 “This is the day the Lord has made we will rejoice and be glad in it.” Paul encourages us in Philippians 4:4 “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again, rejoice.” The apostle Paul uses the Greek words for joy and rejoicing sixteen times in only 104 verses. Yet he writes these words while in prison. Surrounded by every conceivable obstacle to joy. Yet he could still rejoice and encourage the people at Philippi to do the same.
Why is this a great day to rejoice? Knowing Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior is reason enough to rejoice. We are sons and daughters of God. We have been given everything that we need to overcome in this life.
Ephesians 1:3-5 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ, according as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestined us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
When the good days come we rejoice. When the bad days come we rejoice. The joy of the Lord is our strength.
Last Sunday morning we had a visitor. As I got up to open the service, the Holy Spirit immediately began to minister to her. God brought her all the way from Indiana to New Life For The Nations so she could know that she had not been forgotten.
So I say to you today, take heart, do not be discouraged God has not forgotten you. He knows right where you are and what you have going at this moment in your life.
Joshua 1:9 “ Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged for the Lord thy God will be with you wherever you go.” Hebrews 13:5 “….I will never [never any circumstances] desert you [nor give you up nor leave you without support, nor will I in any degree leave you helpless], nor will I forsake or let you down or relax my hold on you [assuredly not]!
We are in good hands – the hands of a Savior who defied nature and calmed a storm. We are in the hands of the one who called dead people from the grave. We are in hands of the one who turned water into wine – fed five thousand with two small fishes and five rolls of bread and had plenty left over. We are in good hands because we are still in the hands of a Man who though He was crucified, dead and buried and just when satan thought he had Him defeated, the Bible says that He arose from the dead triumphantly and declared that all power is given unto Me in heaven and on earth. Ephesians 1:20 “...When He raised Him from the dead and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places…. Ephesians 2:6-7 tells us we are seated with him now in that position.
He has got you in His grip and He is not going to let you go! Yes, you are good hands with Jesus.
1 Peter 2:9 “But you are a chosen generation a royal priesthood, an holy nation, peculiar people; that you should show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
Called out darkness into his marvelous light. Once we have accepted Jesus Christ as our Savior we are now children of light. The Word tells us in Ephesians 5:8 “For you were once darkness, but now are you light in the Lord; walk as children of light.”
It is walking in this light that we see the way to go. Jesus quite often used the contrast between darkness and light to describe the difference that Christ makes in the lives of those that believe. John 8:12 “I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have light.”
We are called into his marvelous light to proclaim the praises of him who has called us out of darkness we once were in. We have been called out of darkness to be a light of the saving power of God to those who are still in darkness.
Matthew 5:14-16 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel but on a candlestick; and giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before me, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Are you letting your light shine?
For I Am the Lord your God and there is none other that offers the grace I give. Step into abundant living through provision I have provided for you. Know I am for you and the things that are so easily besetting to you lay aside. Look for me and surely you will find me. I am only a breath away. Utter my name and I will hear and respond. This is the season of turn around. It may have felt like you have been stuck in a place and your walk has become heavy and every step you have taken has seem as a burden. I am the burden lifter and I am causing things to turn around for your favor. Look to the east, look to west, look to the north, look to the south am I not Lord of all. Those things that you touch, feel, taste, and even see are temporary. Do not hold on to those things as a lifeline that are so easily lost in a moment of time. I am your source of continual overflow. Just as you would see and sense fall in the air a new season has arrived. So it would be in the spiritual realm. So I am bringing the new to you. Some may say, “But I have not walked this way before. Lets just continue on as before.” No I am commanding you to step out of your place of comfort and become radical in believing, radical in giving, radical in praise, radical in your loving the unlovable. Yes there is a baby about to be born spiritually and it has been in the incubator of my spirit. The enemy has come in the last few months and has desired to cause a miscarriage but by my grace it has stayed intact and you have come to full term. The water has broken and a flood of my spirit has been released. Welcome to the overflow. Welcome to the new, embrace the new. For this place will not only be called the place of prayer but the place of praise, the place of salvation for many that have grown weary. They have grown weary in trying to find their place in me, grown weary in trying to find who they are. Searching but never finding peace. I am peace and not one of my own has to strive for what I provided through my Son Jesus. No I am not dead but I am alive through those who choose to believe to those who will allow me to live big in them. For surely I have brought you to this place. I have brought you to this time. What a great opportunity you have to let the light of my love shine. The world as you know gets darker and the line of darkness bigger but the light of my church, my chosen ones, my beloved ones will shine brighter. Yes my glory shall be revealed in the land through you. Do not be ashamed of the gospel of truth for it the power of salvation to all those who choose to believe. It thas the power to bring about change in lives so others will stand in awe of the transformation that has taken place in their life. Relief has come to those who have had their lives shattered by a gospel that offers no hope. A gospel that says you have to perform, a gospel that says you do and God will. No you be and I will. You are my righteousness in Christ Jesus, you are my chosen ones, you are my sons my daughters. You stand before pure and holy. I look not at what you have been or what you have done but what I have purposed. Some may say, “I will get over this, I will get delivered from this, I will get this straightened out and then I will serve you God. I implore you to come as you are love me and let me love you. My love is not as the love of a person but the unconditional love of a heavenly Father that loves you just a you are. How great how wide is my love for you-it has no measure-never ending. That is what I have done by sending my Son Jesus so you can come just as you are.
