Hey Ya’ll, 

 “We will, we will rock you…We will, we will rock you…”

The familiar words and stomping of the feet in the commercial stole my attention from the task at hand. It was my first time hearing the new Walmart advertisement pitching snacks for the upcoming football playoffs. Memories flooded back of high school and college pep rallies and feelings of being powerfully pumped and happily waving banners as we cheered for power and success—just what Walmart wanted instilled in my mind.

Near the end of service today, snatches of this song came back to me as I looked out at your faces. The Real Giving Stimulus Package had been placed in your hands. I stood up to watch you, saying to myself, “I’ve got to see their faces! Scott even did impressions of me at lunch about how excited I was to watch your response. The look of shock and awe was a powerful visual. Realization of what God was doing was shinning on your faces and I said to myself, “God, You’ve really rocked them!” 

I heard it in your voices as you exited the service.  “Wow, I’ve never been to a church that just gave away money like this!”  Even your “Happy New Year” salutations seemed brighter and happier. You were amazed and you were rocked! 

I love that look of awe and victory.  I believe you left our church today to go out into the world and demonstrate the fervor of the familiar words “…waving our banners all over the place!”  Our church family captured God’s plan, and God will use each one of us to bring His Real Love to this world.  What you experience this morning was from God—established in His anointing—His Banners are lifted high to give Him all the Glory.  It was an awesome sight that will move us forward in His Victory for Family Christian Center!  

I know in my heart that God has placed the $10,000 in good hands—in your hands—and it will bear awesome harvest in the lives of many who are desperate for Him.  I will be cheering you on in the month to come. 

Go Team! Wave the banner of God’s Real Love.  You’ve got the necessary gifts, and you’re fired up with His Real Giving Stimulus Package.  

Church, go out there and rock them!  

Love ya’ll,

Pastor Shyrl
