Pastor Bobbi Cloyd would like to Welcome all to Our LORD’S Church. Pastor Bobbi says the best thing that ever happened in her life was to truly find JESUS and surrender her life to HIM – to have a personal relationship with the LORD. Pastor Bobbi has heard of GOD all of her life since she comes from a background of believers in JESUS CHRIST. However, until she truly surrendered her life, her will, her heart and her mind to the LORD she did not have a personal relationship with GOD or our SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.
As a matter of fact Pastor Bobbi will tell you of her testimony where she actually lost her faith in GOD. Which she will tell you is the worse thing that she ever did. Pastor Bobbi loves the LORD with her all – she is so grateful that the LORD reached down and saved her out of a miry pit. Because of where Pastor Bobbi has been she is able to understand life a little better and people’s relationship with GOD without judgement. Pastor Bobbi will tell you there was a time in her life like the Apostle Paul she considered herself a “Chief of Sinners.”
Pastor Bobbi was called by the LORD in 1993 or 1994 to preach the gospel. At this time Pastor Bobbi actually ran from the LORD for another 10 years before she finally surrendered to the call of GOD upon her life. Pastor Bobbi will be the first one to tell you GOD can use anyone. GOD can turn any situation around. That GOD can save even what some might consider the worst of us. That GOD is in the changing life and changing hearts business. That GOD will never give up on us no matter what – for HE will never leave us nor forsake us. Because GOD never left her or forsook her through it all. Since GOD has no partiality for any person. What HE did for Pastor Bobbi HE can do for anyone if you give HIM the chance.
Pastor Bobbi will tell you that she never preaches, but it is the HOLY SPIRIT within her that preaches. Pastor Bobbi believes that we are to preach the WORD in season and out of season. This means no one should be quoting from a few verses from the Bible and preaching an entire hour without referencing the WORD of GOD throughout the message. How can you preach a message from GOD when HIS WORD is not in it?
Pastor Bobbi believes that we are truly living in perilous times and it is time for us to choose our GOD this day. Pastor Bobbi has committed the rest of her life to the LORD to preach and teach the Gospel as it is written in the Holy Bible (King James Version) with the goal of telling as many as she can about CHRIST JESUS. And the LORD told Pastor Bobbi when others ask you who you are – you are to say – I am “Preaching the Kingdom of GOD, and teaching those things which concern the LORD JESUS CHRIST, with all confidence, no man forbidding him (her).” (Acts 28:31)
Pastor Bobbi said this is her Declaration before THE LORD GOD and HIS SON JESUS CHRIST – for all to see:
I borrowed some of this, but this is my Creed for CHRIST JESUS!
I Shall Not Stop For the Cause of CHRIST JESUS!
I am a part of a Fellowship committed to doing “whatever it takes” for the cause of CHRIST JESUS. I have been empowered by GOD’s HOLY SPIRIT Power to walk and speak in HIS Truth.
The dye has been cast. I’ve stepped over the line. I am out of my comfort zone. The decision has been made. I’m a disciple of HIS. I won’t let up, slow down, or back away. My future is secure. I am finished with the world values, sight walking, vain babblings, and what man thinks that is not according to the WORD of GOD.
I no longer need prestige, prosperity, position, promotions, or popularity. I don’t have to be right, first, on top, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. THE LORD GOD knows who I am and that is enough.
I now live in the Presence of THE LORD, taught in HIS Faith, loved by THE GODHEAD, lifted by THEIR Grace, and Strengthened by THEIR MIGHT and POWER.
My heart is set, my armor is on, and my goal is Heaven. My road is narrow. The way may be rough, but I trust in my GOD to make the rough places smooth, the crooked places straight, and the mountains to fall before me. My companions may be few, but my guide – THE HOLY SPIRIT is reliable and my COMFORTER. My mission is clear. I cannot look back – I will not look back!
I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in adversity, negotiate at the enemy’s table, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander the maze of mediocrity!
I won’t give up, shut up, let up, or burn up until I’ve preached the cause of CHRIST JESUS – whom I love with my heart, soul, mind, and strength.
Now I can declare and decree that I am a disciple of JESUS CHRIST. I am HIS and I have been sealed with HIS mark upon me. I will preach until I can no longer preach. I will work while it is day and keep my lamp filled with HIS Precious Oil.
So, when my JESUS comes to get HIS Own, He’ll have no problem recognizing me because I’ve dedicated and committed myself solely to HIM, walking in All the fruits of the Spirit – all goodness, righteousness, truth, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control while proving what is acceptable unto THE LORD. And I shall have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
I have made it through the training, and I passed the test by the True Grace of GOD, and like Paul, I am sold out for CHRIST JESUS. I know that I know that HE is who JESUS said HE is. I know that I know that I know that GOD is who GOD said HE is. From Henceforth, let no one trouble me, for I bear in my body, my mind and my soul the marks of THE LORD JESUS. For HE is my BELOVED, and I am HIS!
Amen.
