A Message From Pastor Ron and Kathy
We would personally like to thank you for visiting our website. DeGraw Ministries is a ministry focused on equipping and teaching believers to go to a higher level in their walk with the Lord and to develop a deeper level of intimacy with him. We do this through hosting personal inner healing and deliverance sessions and by hosting conferences, gatherings and teaching schools consisting of praise and worship, Holy Spirit led teachings and healing and deliverance services. We are currently mentoring other people for their own ministries and working with leaders to establish apostolic regions in Iowa, Colorado, Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada and wherever else the Spirit of the Lord leads us! Our hearts desire is to usher in the manifest presence or glory of the Lord so everyone can walk out of the meetings changed. We invite you to join us at one of our gatherings in order to equip you to take it back to your home, workplace, community and church. We love seeing people healed, set free, delivered, equipped and on fire for the Lord! Our gathering "In His Presence" for women only is held every Tuesday at 9am and our gathering "Mighty Men of Valor" for men is held the 2nd and 4th Tuesday each month at 7pm in Grandville, Michigan. Please visit our special events and calendar pages for more opportunities to be with the Lord through our ministry.
Blessings!
Pastor Ron and Kathy
Weekly Teaching by Pastor Ron DeGraw
Scripture: Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, (Php 3:13 NKJV)
Message from the Word: In 2 Corinthians 7:2 Paul says that he has wronged no one. How can he say that when he admits in 1 Corinthians 15:9 that he persecuted the church? He can say that because the person who persecuted the church, no longer exists. You see, when you accept Christ as your Lord and Savior, your life changes. You are no longer the person you used to be. That old person has been put to death. That is how Paul can say that he wronged no one. His old self died the day he called Jesus Lord and let Him live in his heart. The same is true of you. The moment you believed on the Lord Jesus and confessed Him as Lord, your old self died. Don’t let the enemy or others try and tell you that you are still that old person you used to be. Don’t let them try and tell you that you are always going to be that alcoholic, or gambler or liar. It doesn’t matter what you were or did in your past. You may have had anger, been involved in pornography, committed adultery, stolen and robbed, or even persecuted others. But as far as God is concerned, that person is dead and a new you now exists. Don’t let the past, get in the way of your future. Put that old person where he/she belongs – in the grave! As Paul says in 2Co 5:17 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” Stop looking at yourself in the past, and start looking at who God says you are now – blessed, redeemed, washed, new, righteous, a child of God. Put the past behind, and let the new person live.
Scripture reading: Romans 6:1-14
