Hi ELC Family,
We hope you are well and hanging in there through this intense Texas heat!
Our message for the month of August was taken from Luke 13:10 about the woman who had been bent down for 18 years. Even though we are Christians, we can still be oppressed by evil spirits. This has a lot to do with certain agreements we have made about ourselves, God, life, etc. perhaps even before we came to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Pastor Charles puts it this way: “Even though we are saved, it’s still possible to be bent over and demonically oppressed (not possessed). Sometimes this has to do with things that we allowed into our spirit before we came to Christ and we don’t know anything different so when God sets us free, we still act like we are bound. We see this a lot in our incarcerated brothers and sisters.”
ELC focused on the above passage in the month of August to tend to this common vulnerability within the body of Christ. We wanted to pass this along by way of encouragement to you! Even if you’ve walked with God for many years, there is always more freedom He has in store for you!
In other news, ELC received a one year scholarship for Pastor Charles and our Board of Directors to get expert training from a company called, RevGen. Our focus with this training is to position for growth and be the best we can be as an organization!
Please enjoy our latest Already in White and Connect with “Pastor Big A” videos below. As always, we ask for your continued support through your prayers and giving as we work to make a difference in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
God bless you & God keep you,
Pastor Charles Anderson and the Team at ELC
