A Message From Pastor Otis

From My Heart To Yours

3 John vs. 2 states, Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth."

I interpret this to mean that God wants us to have balance in life. What good will it do for us to gain the world and then loose our soul? If we can have the blessings of the Lord operating and showing in every area of our lives, then why not? As born again believers, we are assured of a place where the streets are paved with gold; however, most of us have financial storms here! God wants us to be prosperous in every area of our lives, having balance in every part. There should be no area in which we are lacking!

As a young man I could not understand why the people who said they were Christians struggled in life. I began also to realize that everyone I knew who were doing things illegally or immorally were the people whose bills were paid on time, who drove nice cars, and seemed to travel where and when they wanted. This often perplexed me. God's word actually says that this should be just the opposite.

As I began to study the word for myself I realized that Proverbs 29:18 states, "where there is no vision the people perish." If you are struggling with issues in your spiritual life, in your finances or in your relationships, why not speak to your own mountain?!

I believe that in December 2001 God called me to begin a ministry that would help to "Bridge The Gap Through Excellence In Ministry."

The vision which God has given me is first to teach and to empower partners who will in turn teach and empower others. In order to be successful one can not assume. Assumption is the lowest form of knowledge! You must know that you know! I also believe that God has given Rebirth a specific geograghic area as well as an assigned people to minister to. Together we are to build an multi-cultural ministry that will empower people in their Faith, their Finances, and their Family!

Did you know that Donald Trump has been a millionaire several times? What I mean by this is that he became a millionaire, lost everything, and then became a millionaire again and again. He was able to do this because he had acquired the neccessary knowledge to be successful at what he did. No matter what happened, even if he lost everything, he would be able to replicate his successes.

Donald Trump however, is not the originator of success; God is! He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. You are created in his image, and you are created to succeed in every area of your life. In fact, Joshua 1:8 states, "...then we shall make our way prosperous, and then we shall have good success." It is God's will and desire for this ministry, and for you, to be successful.

The manifestation of this success is contingent on these things: obedience, faith, and action!

We must obey Him and His Word. We must have faith in Him and in the process. Finally, we must realize that faith without works is dead. In other words, you can believe, but if you never act on what you believe you can not expect to achieve!

Friend, Jesus came that you might have life and have it more abundantely! (John 10:10)

We at Rebirth Ministries have a vision, and we have the faith to accomplish the vision. We invite you to partner with us as we set out to achieve all that God has for us! We are determined to break the back of lack. The God I serve is the God of more than enough. Jesus is "able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us." (Eph. 3:20)

I invite you to partner with us, and when you do, get ready, for your life will never be the same!

Yours In His Service,

Pastor Otis Cutler
