Pastor Montgomery, First I would like to say THANK YOU! for your words of encouragement. They are so timely. Second, I would like to say “character” is missing in a lot of our lives but so is “gratefulness” sometimes we forget to be grateful for what we have and what God allows. I’m learning to be grateful and thankful. without God I would be nothing. however, in Him I live and move and have my being and know that with Him I can do all things. May God continue to use you and bless your ministry.

Thank you for that word. I know with endurance I will be able to keep living purpose driving.In Jesus name.

I was visiting on that Sunday when you taught about character. I tell you, I’m blessed each time I visit. I left with the sense that no matter what I am going through, there’s a promise at the end. Endurance! 9 more seconds.

God bless you Pastor

Pastor you have hit the nail on the head!! I think we hv so many doctrines mixed up in our faith that our faith is diluted!! We don’t understand the principles in which God operates within. God told Adam 2tend Noah 2build, Abraham 2go, Joshua 2scout, the widow 2gather, the pple of Jericho 2march, and on and on and on. We New Age believers don’t understand the time or words that followed the action & btween the Promise!! Words like tired weary persevere endure wait cry patience tenacity stand trust believe, etc r what it takes to do the will of God & receive what God has promised. We read without considering the inbetween time EVERYone must experience to further develop the confidence character integrity & skill set needed 2truly appreciate & excel in what God has called us 2do or 2be while also increasing our ability 2build our confidence faith & trust in Him as the one & only true living God whose love for us NEVER fails & wants nothing less than us 2live our BEST life ever!! Bottom line we get out what we put in!!

Bless you Man of God!
It is men and women of God that stands waiting and mediating between God and the people for a word from God to the people. And that word is like the script in Proverbs 25:11 that says, “A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.” AKV

Today, the word ENDURANCE IS FITLY SPOKEN! And I comment with tears in my eyes because I was just thinking about that generosity of God’s mercy and grace with favor towards my life, yet something call weariness tried to creep in and in my spirit I kept saying no, God is with me and on my side and when I was going to send an email from my workplace I saw the word, ENDURANCE! And my Goooooooooooooooooooooood I begin to cry tears of joy! That’s my drug for today and the rest of my life on earth. Because it’s the one that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved.
Keep standing in the gap and say all that God gives you to say and share in the Kingdom!

Bless You!

Thank you so much for those encouraging words. I was telling myself just yesterday, “But he who endures to the end, the same shall be saved.” God bless you for the confirmation, and for rightly dividing the truth.

I-N-T-E-G-R-I-T-Y…That is what’s missing. Some of us don’t know how to spell or pronoun it, because a lot of us don’t have it. When we stand for nothing, we fall for everything.

Yes Dr. I just wanna say. people are forgetting how to love one another. People give up on Faith every second. Keep thhe Faith and we will love and be blessed.

Thanks Bro. Ed for this Vent.. The people of GOD do not know how to “WANT” in Purpose… I have had over $300,000 placed in trust for over 15 yrs, all I wanted was 2 people to explain their Desires in Jesus name.. No one have even tried to collect this GOD FIRST Trust.???? Question: What can You do with $150,000 Purposed in Jesus name…? Attention Everybody: The Key words are Purposed in Jesus Name.. Your answer will TRANSFORM your MIND…and The New FELLOWSHIP will make the Heavens Take notice of this time and space called the PRESENT.. VISA SALVATION in Jesus name… AWESOME Everybody is HIRED… matthew 20:6-7
250 Million SOULS will bring 677 Billion Souls over the next 1000 Generations.. Keep up the GOOD Work ED and The truck load of ALC Visa Cards is coming

God is givig his anointing to those who are ready to live in his anointing!

Pastor, I just wanted to say that I’ve been struggling with “stepping out on faith” lately but was so moved by your message at last Sunday’s first service until I decided to take that leap. You asked 115 people to commit to giving $100 each to raise cash for the new compressor. I wanted to give, but already had a negative $2.00 in my checking account and didn’t know how I was going to get to payday. God whispered for me to stand and commit, and then write the check … knowing that it would be covered by the time it reached my bank on Wednesday. I’m a very conservative and logical person so had a bit of a battle, but decided to “Just Do It” — by faith. Well, when I got home and checked the mail today, there was an unexpected check for $200 inside. All I could do was say Thank You Jesus, chide myself for doubting, and then wonder how I could have ever doubted Him in the first place. So not only is my faith offering covered, but I have enough to eat lunch everyday this week, buy gas and still have a little left over.

Of course, there will be an additional twenty bucks in my Tithe check on Sunday!

Thank you, Pastor, for teaching us how to live a better life.

And by the way, don’t you dare change your style of teaching. A little “feel-good” preaching is okay every once in a while, but we need the Word you deliver each week to help us continue to grow in faith, character, knowledge and wisdom.

Love you,

I went to church last week on wednesday n I was amazed of how nice the building is. I LOVE THE GARDEN !!!! What a great blessing.

The gusher of oil is a Prophetic Demonstration of the boundless anointing that is available to the sons and daughters of God who are willing to dig deep into the spirit realm to uncap that which the Lord has ordained for the believer. This a terrible situation in the natural realm but as believers we can not get caught up in our emotions where we become ineffective and are not able to Pray, Declare, and Decree that even in this The Lord will get the Glory out of it. We also need to Declare and Decree that we dig deeper into the things of God and allow the Gusher of Anointing to Flow out of us so we can accomplish the will of God and not stand by with our mouths open wondering what happened?

Giving honor to God, my response to the gusher goes both ways: as a representative of spiritual things and as a physical representative of the devastation of lives of fish and wildlife and in economic blow to people who depend on the waters to support their families. The crime is worthy of death row like consequences in relation to consideration of the losses now and those to come in the future. A bigger issue and as destructive is the immigration issue. I believe that many African Americans do not recognize that the issue is Americanism and citizenship that goes with it. All black people are not African American. African Americans are not immigrants. We are decendents of slaves. We are Americans, like it or not and thei destiny of America is our destiny. Why are we reacting as if illegal hispanics are freely due the rights that our ancestors fought and died for us to have, when they rebel against the process to even become a citizen in the first place. The goal is domination and I fear we are turning into an Ismael generation that will sell away our birthrights for what? My kids were denied school registration without the right immunization records, proof of residence, etc. living here in this country, and immigrants are allowed everyday to dominate our school systems with more and more children, with access to free government and social services that overwhelm our economy and our healthcare that is obvious and defiant to be controlled. The employment situation is another part, where in an already tight job situation, we are etched out again to allow others to come in and begin to make demands in areas where we are not competent to accomodate and deal effectively with the circumstances. If this sounds prejudiced, or worse, unChristian-like, I have to say. I am thinking about these things…what are Black people thinking about!!!!!?????

Dear Pastor,
It seems to me that the times of pressure produced in me not only the ablity to trust and believe in God. But the ablity to relate to others Face it, none of us like the furnace but this is where we are tried. I know that when the heat is up my God is close by as a Master Artist who will not allow his work to be destryed . I feel His presence and power amid the pain. His creative energy is reconstucting and reinforcing His plan in my life and making me a vessle He is able to use. So I really thank God for His Grace in the flames and His power under pressure! Thanx- Siobhan

I am an Artist available to help with projects. I am experienced in many forms of medium and can also teach work-shops. I tithe my talent, as well as my income and seek to glorify God with my art.Peace-S

pastor please pray for my strength in the Lord as I tap into that gusher!!!

i am putting the devil under my feet!

God Bless
kathy (S-I-L)

Thankyou for your encouragement!! The devil is busy 24/7. Out to Steal, Kill and Destroy. He will never steal my joy. God has the final word. I stand on his word. I am a believer. GOD BLESS

This message was very encouraging for me, because things were not going as well as we expected, but God has a way of comforting you I am so glad that the gusher of God’s blessings are going to over take those who are faithful, and those who trust in Him, God bless you and your ministry.

Dear Dr. Ed Montgomery,

I have been visiting your church for several months now and enjoy your ministry with the upmost respect. You have touch my life in so many ways, but I’m bit concerned about how your new membership procedures work. I have tried to join your organization for two weeks and have not received a response back from your staff. I have visited your church and other churches looking for a church home and felt most comfortable with your church to make it my church home. I am some what disappointed because I have not receive a call from your organization on welcoming me to your church; maybe I’m a bit old fashion and do not understand your procedures at ALC. I was told from a staff member at the vistors station that I was supposed to get a phone call from someone and have not received a call yet. Again I enjoy hearing the ministry from you and Sandra. I feel that God has placed me in your church for a reason. Can you please explain to me your procedures with joining ALC or can you please have someone from your organization to call me.

Thank You,
La Trell Guess-Moore

Greetings Dr. Ed,
What a joy to see the work you and your wife are doing in Houston. I know you from the days of Bishop College and God is doing a mighty work through you in Houston. I have referred people to your ministry and looking forward to seeing the facility in the near future. Darien Mc Gee
Bishop 75

today’s message was an absolute target….powerful, enlightening, provoking and life changing all at the same time…I can’t tell you which parts i enjoyed the most bc “the word” kept coming from the combinations, to spiritual warfare, to the power of potential and then to religions and politics, what a meal!….and o yes by the way, i did give….so that others can hear more of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Pastor,

I don’t think you represented what Franklin Graham said very well and I don’t believe that he lied about President Obama at all. A reading of the entire quote would have illuminated that fact. You only reference the first five sentences of his answer…reading just the next sentence would’ve rendered your claim that he lied moot.

For those who care to find out for themselves here is the transcription of the interview done on CNN with John King:

Here’s the transcript from the CNN interview.

ANNOUNCER: It’s time to go “One-on-One”.

KING: Joining us now is Franklin Graham who together with his father the Reverend Billy Graham have advised presidents dating back to Harry Truman, but there’s been some controversial comments about Muslims along the way. Franklin Graham joins us tonight from Calgary (ph). Good evening, sir. I want to begin with this new poll people across America woke up to today. A Pew Research poll saying that two in 10 Americans, 18 percent think their president is a Muslim and 43 percent of Americans don’t know what faith Barack Obama practices. The president came, I believe it was back in April, he came to see your father. You joined that meeting. He came to see you as well. And my understanding is that you prayed with the president at that meeting back in April.

REV. FRANKLIN GRAHAM, SAMARITAN’S PURSE: Yes.

KING: Do you, sir, have any doubts about this president’s Christian faith?

GRAHAM: Well, first of all, I think the president’s problem is that he was born a Muslim. His father was a Muslim. The seed of Islam is passed through the father like the seed of Judaism is passed through the mother. He was born a Muslim. His father gave him an Islamic name. Now it’s obvious that the president has renounced the Prophet Muhammad and he has renounced Islam and he has accepted Jesus Christ. That’s what he says he has done. I cannot say that he hasn’t.

So I just have to believe the president is what he has said. But he — the confusion is, is because his father was a Muslim, he was born a Muslim. The Islamic world sees the president as one of theirs. That’s why Qaddafi calls him “my son”.

They see him as a Muslim but of course the president says he is a Christian and we just have to accept it as that.

KING: Well, how do you see him as someone who has shared a room with him in an intimate setting with your father and exchanged prayer with him? Do you see him — do you believe him? I guess, I’m not sure I should be even asking that question, but do you believe him?

GRAHAM: Well, you know, you can be born a Muslim. You can be born a Jew. But you can’t be born a Christian. The only way you can become a Christian is by confessing your sins to God, asking his forgiveness and by receiving Jesus Christ by faith into your heart.

That Christ died for our sins. Shed his blood on Calvary’s cross and that God raised him to life. If you’re willing to accept that and believe that, and let Jesus Christ be the lord of your life, God will forgive your sins, he’ll heal your heart. And that’s the only way you can become a Christian.

And so if the president has done that, then I would say he’s a Christian if that’s what he has done.

KING: In the statement the White House released saying, in response to this poll — this is one of the things the White House said. “The president’s strong Christian faith is what guides him through these challenges. But he doesn’t wear it on his sleeve.”

That is a personal choice. Every individual across the world makes a personal choice about whether they practice any faith.

GRAHAM: Sure.

KING: And then whether they demonstrate that they practice their faith in public. In your experience and in your experience around your father, who has obviously advised presidents back many decades, do you think that a president should be more demonstrable, more open about his faith?

GRAHAM: Well, that — that’s the president’s personal choice. And I certainly wouldn’t want to try to advise the president on how he should wear his faith.

For many people it’s a very personal issue like it was with President Reagan. And I’m sure this is a very personal issue with the president.

I wish the president over the years have had a chance to be involved in a real strong bible-teaching church. I don’t think Reverend Jeremiah’s church was a place where he got at all grounded in God’s word.

It would have been better for him to — you know, get into a good evangelical church. But I appreciate the president’s sincerity. And — that he’s made it very clear. He’s come out against it, saying he’s a Christian. So I would just have to — to let him speak for himself.

It makes you STOP and wonder!!
