Pentecostal Praise Pentecostal Deliverance Church of Christ 453 South Fifth Avenue, Mount Vernon, N.Y. 10550 Our Future Looks Bright... Sister Yvette Leon The success to any great house is it’s foundation. Once a strong foundation is laid, it will be able to withstand whatever is built upon it. The Youth at Pentecostal Deliverance are continuing to build upon the foundation, to ensure we have a great house. They are singing, acting, studying, praying and fasting. They ARE the music department. If given the opportunity they also preach. The Bible charges us as parents to raise up our children in the ways of the Lord. Parents do your job! Growing up we didn’t understand why we had to be in church so much, could not hang out with our friends or go to the night clubs. It wasn’t for you to understand if your parents or the Pastor said NO! That was it NO! This was us 30 years ago and we’re still standing. The little girl in the pig tails directing the choir is now the Pastor. The little boy running around making noise on the drums is now the Choir President. The quiet girl in the alto section is now the church financial secretary. The little girl who wrote poems for the Pastor ’s Anniversary and Women’s Day is now the Editor of the Newsletter. Now we are putting the same doctrine that we were raised with into our children. The first line in the song “The Greatest Love of All” is “ I believe the children are our fu- MARCH 2012 ORDER OF SERVICES SUNDAY SCHOOL 10:AM MORNING WORSHIP 11:30 AM EVENING SERVICE 4PM SACRIFICIAL PRAYER WEDNESDAY NIGHT 7PM Sunday School Superintendent Sis.

Inside this issue: From the Pastor’s Desk 2 What’s Going On 3 Announcements 4 Page 2 From the desk of the Pastor Greetings Brothers and Sisters Everywhere!! There’s a song beating loudly from my heart...VICTORY IS MINE! VICTORY IS MINE! VICTORY TODAY IS MINE! I TOLD SATAN...TO GET THEE BEHIND...VICTORY TODAY! TODAY! TODAY! IS MINE!...IN FACT, VICTORY IS OURS! With the expectation of the arrival of Resurrection Sunday, surely I am feeling confident that we have the VICTORY! Victory over our trials. Victory over our health concerns. Victory over our finances. Victory over our marriages and families. Victory over unemployment...Simply put...VICTORY OVER SATAN! We are praying! I know God hears our prayers. We are fasting! I know the Lord is observing our sacrifice. We are walking in holiness! This is a requirement. So then I ask the question...Why are so many believers living an active life of defeat??? Why are so many Christians throwing in the towel and giving up the figh t to an enemy who lost the battle a long time ago? The victory is already ours for the asking...for the taking...for the believing...surely for the daily living. Allow me to remind you of Revelation 1:18 “I am He that LIVETH, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys to hell and of death.” When Jesus rose from the dead, he rose with not only ALL POWER, but He rose WITH ALL VICTORIOUS evidence that He had defeated the devil and gained ALL VICTORY! That same spirit of undefeated triumph is accessible for our usage. As well, it is applicable to any and all areas of our lives...YES! YOU CAN WALK IN VICTORY! YES! YOU CAN LIVE A LIFE OF SUCCESS! However, know that it can only be applied to your life or situation when you are connected to Jesus Christ; who suffered, bled and died for your sins. When we live in victory, it is easier to travel on our spiritual journey. When we live a life of triumph, we can assist with bringing our vision to pass. The vision is...to build a diverse, holistic, life-changing ministry that effectively meets the needs of all people. So let us gird up our loins! Stop giving Satan permission to operate in any area of our life! Remind him that he was in fact defeated! Raise your hands towards heaven and do as 1 Corinthians 15:57 says...Thank God which giveth us the Victory through our Lord Jesus Christ! YES I NOT ONLY SEE THE VICTORY AHEAD...BUT I HAVE IT RIGHT NOW! Be blessed people of God. I love each of you and am so very proud of your continued commitment toward excellent Kingdom Service. Thank you for your continuous partnership. Enjoy a Victorious Resurrection Sunday! In His Service, Rev.
