1. Comments about “Overcoming the Spirit of Hindrance.”

We have received many wonderful e-mails from our friends and students what were blessed by the message “Overcoming the Spirit of Hindrance and the Buffeting Spirit.” May have shared how it was a word in season and like a cold drink of water to a thirst soul. If you have not downloaded this powerful message, use the link below to download it now in MP3 format:

2. New Sermon Available for Free Download

Did you ever wonder why you have sown so much into the Kingdom and reaped so little of the harvest? Many times it is not the seed nor even the ground, it is the climate surrounding the seed. Learn how to create an optimum climate in your life by how you walk as a believer to produce greater results from the seed you have sown. You can see all the seed you have ever sown spring to life when you apply these principles to your life!

4. Now is the Time to Proceed with Your Studies

One of the things that God has been speaking to Dr. Lake over the last month or so is that we are entering into a season of Divine Supernatural Advancement. The only way to enter into this is to get up and begin doing what God has called you to do. If he is calling you to study for the ministry, don’t buy the lie of the devil that you will do it “one day.” Now is the time to get started and advance in your studies and in your Kingdom call. Give Pastor Rodhouse a call at BLCS and begin your studies today! (Phone: 417-859-0881)

5. Pastoral Care for Our Student Body - by Pastor Michael Rodhouse

May people do not realize the care and investment that Dr. Lake sows into the lives of our students. We gather into Dr. Lake’s office each morning to pray over our students, graduates and prospective students. Dr. Lake has been hitting hard on binding the spirit of hindrance in their lives and speaking blessing over their families, health, finances and ministries. We all bare the burden of seeing our students and graduates fulfill their callings in the Lord.

What many do not know is how Dr. Lake invests in our students. Most ministries, when a new powerful message is recorded they will market it with everything they have. Dr. Lake has us post it on the website for downloading at no charge to our students and friends. He says it is “sowing seeds of God’s voice into their lives.” I have also seen him press Cds of the new messages and enclose them free with correspondence or grade reports. Between Cds and the additional postage, he is sowing hundreds into our students each month.

I do not know of another school that takes steps like this to insure their students go on in God and receive fresh words the Holy Spirit is speaking through leaders in the school. This is another way that BLCS is unique in how it wants to bless and empower its student body!

A Good Resource for Pastors' Wives

We received some great information on resources for Pastors' Wives this week:

=======================================

Dear Dr. Lake,

Thank you for your time on the phone today; it was a pleasure speaking with you! I pray this resource will be a blessing to your seminary wives.

We are very excited to share with you our FREE, multi-denominational pastors’ wives website that was founded in 2002 by Vonette Bright with the support of Campus Crusade for Christ.

We offer an abundance of resources for pastors’ wives and seminary wives, they include:

1) Free video and audio teachings from well know bible teachers and pastors’ wives such as Kay Arthur and Vonette Bright.

3) In addition, we offer a GPWN blog, newsletter and multiple opportunities to connect with other wives through groups, mentorship and peer connections.

What makes Global Pastors’ Wives Network so unique is that is specifically designed for the pastor’s wife with resources and encouraging words to support her ministry to her husband.

News You Can Use 09/17/2007

1. New BLCS Catalog for 2008-2010 Now Available for Download
Our new catalog was released about two weeks ago. The catalog has been reformatted, the front section completely rewritten and new articles for prospective students have been added.

2. Overcoming Hindering & Buffeting Spirits

I just finished ministering this powerful message to our local congregation and students this past weekend. The past few weeks God has been teaching me about these spirits and how they have been loosed on those called to ministry and in ministry throughout the U.S. It is time to turn things around!

Although I am written a new article based on this message, I felt in my spirit that you need this message now. I have posted it at the BLCS website in MP3 format so you can download it immediately. Here is the link to download the file:

3. New Book in the Works

Now that I have the new catalog out of the way, I plan on writing a new book to help students get going in their studies. It will cover goal-setting, organizational strategies and spiritual warfare strategies needed to move any project forward. Not only will these strategies work in making progress in your studies with BLCS, it will work in anything you do in ministry. Without the proper planning and prayer, Satan can hinder most projects you start.

I hope to have this book ready before the end of the year. Once it is completed, we will publish it in PDF format and post it on our website for free downloading.

4. Share the Vision

All of our BLCS students know the transformational power of our courses. Now is the time to share the vision. If you know someone in ministry or called to ministry, share with them about BLCS. You can be a part of helping them advance in the Kingdom of God!

5. New Course Being Developed

In October I will begin teaching a new course on Spiritual Warfare entitled “Kingdom Authority and Warfare.” This is will be the most comprehensive course in Spiritual Warfare I have ever taught. The process of teaching this type of course will take about 30 weeks locally, so keep it in your prayers. Once it is completed, it will take our students to a high understanding of Kingdom, authority and how to gain victory over the enemy than has ever been available before. I believe 2008 will begin a new era in Divine Advancement in the Kingdom of God. The understanding presented in the new course can become a catalyst for entering this new level!
