Summer Blessings in Salinas

Jed Koch — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 01:29:34 +0000

There was a special move of God during and after the church service tonight. People came to church expecting an answer for their problems and we left with full hearts (and full tummies) There was a pot-luck after church and everyone brought plenty to share. We were so blessed to have Bro. Salas and his church congregation worshiping with us.

Blessed in a bad place

Rev Shane koch taught about spiritual warfare and the attacks of the enemy. Sometimes it seems that we are in a bad place or going through a rough time.

Jeremiah 29:11 says “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. 12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. 13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. 14 And I will be found of you, saith the Lord: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the Lord; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.”

Israel while in captivity was blessed of the Lord. We need to have the desire to be blessed of the Lord while you are in the middle of a trial or while you are in a ‘bad place. Shane used examples of Paul and Silas, Job, and many other examples of Bible heroes that learned to watch and listen for God’s hand and voice while going through the bad places.

It’s HOT in Here!

It must be about 85 degrees in here but Bro. Frank led testimonies with fire. It is the Holy Ghost burning in us and it should be evident in our lives. Pastor is at work but the church is being led by the Holy Ghost and able young men and women.

Rev. Shane is doing an awesome job along with his beautiful young wife, Jessica, with her singing talent. Bro. Jed leads in drums and adds his wonderful tenor voice.

Bro. Caleb is thankful for nothing cuz sometimes nothing is good!

Praise God! The Ramirez family is thankful for the simple things in living for God. Sis. Carmen carries a burden for her family but she hears from God His wonderful constant assurances.

Rev. Shane begins his message with the question, “Where did the sword come from?”.

The will of God comes to your life so clear and plain and we respond “God, I want your will but I know that ain’t it!” We need to quit fleecing God and start trusting God. You think Gideon was excited that his fleece worked? He went about figuring out a plan that did not match up with the plan of God. Thank God he listened to God, reduced the army, changed the tactics and won the victory for the Lord.

Peter thought he knew the will of God and wore a sword (remember he was a fisherman!) to join into the fight for the kingdom of God but when he struck out at the armed guard he was quickly rebuked for cutting off the ear of the guard as the Lord healed the man. Jesus won the battle and Peter picked up the sword of the Spirit on the day of Pentecost and spoke to the sinners about what they needed to do to make it into the true kingdom of Heaven.

Shane recovers quickly from a broken back

Shane Koch (the assistant pastor at The Rock) fell from a ladder while he was checking inventory at WheelWorks. Shane currently manages the store in Gilroy and was about 10 ft. off the ground when the ladder he was standing on collapsed under him. Shane broke 12 bones mostly in his back and spine but as the story goes with most men of God… He’s walking with a little help from a walker and cane just two weeks after the injury.

I’ve heard the story over and over again; the preacher or saint that falls from an impossible height, receives minimal injuries and recovers quickly. One of our saints fell 70-80 ft. into a barley silo missing a concrete step by 6 inches and plunging several feet below the surface! He was rescued by the same guy that knocked him off the top of the wall in the first place! What are the standard reports from the news or your friends? I’ve never heard of this type of miracle reoccurring at such a consistent pace in the world. We truly received an exceptional health plan when signing up to become the bride of the Creator. Does it feel reassuring to know that God has your life in his hands? There are so many things, people or situations that vie for control of our lives. I’d rather have Him in control of my life than anything else. You’ll never feel your life is truly stabilized until you give the reins over to Jesus. He is the Great Physician after all.

Shane’s 28th Birthday Bonanza Bash!

Everyone had so much fun at Shane’s B-day this year. The man of the hour showed up TWO HOURS LATE for his own party! Nobody seemed to mind, it was his party after all.

The Nintendo Wii was very popular and bowling seemed to be the game of choice for the night. The poor
little PS2 sat in it’s corner all night… alone.

We all drove to the surprise concert at 7 and Shane was thrilled! Pillar was awesome, but we all had to wear earplugs because it was sooooo loud!

Thanks to Stephanie From EVPC, she contacted the guys from Waverley and they wished Shane a Happy Birthday from the stage during the concert!

Everyone that had missed the first party met back up at the church and had a little AFTER PARTY! WHOOO HOOO! Good times!

Thanks to Terra, Eric and Marie, and Nicole for helping out so much!

Check out Shanes New Ride! Sweet!
