Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,
The Lord has been very mindful of us. He has given us another opportunity to rededicate our lives to Him. He’s instructing us now to go back and complete the things we’ve neglected to do. God is after that old leaven, which is the weightier matter. He wants to purge it out and make us new as mentioned in 1st Corinthians 5:7. Therefore, we must clear our lines and set our hearts and minds to seek the Lord through prayer, fasting and studying His word until He rains righteousness upon us and in us. – Hosea 10:12
This is an individual commitment. God is speaking to each of us in Isaiah 55:1&3 saying, “Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Incline your ear, and come unto Me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.”
We will continue in rededication for the remaining of the year. Our study scriptures are listed below: Romans 12:1-3 Psalm 30:1-3 Isaiah 1:11-20 Isaiah 55:6-9 Jeremiah 29:10-14 Joel 2:12-13
Additional instructions are enclosed with this letter and can be found in the “Consecration Guidelines for Conduct” and in the “Formula to Straight Street.”
As Pastor and seer over the sheepfold of God, I am hopeful that all instructions of this seek will be followed wholeheartedly as unto the Lord. God has said in His word, that if we seek Him, we shall find Him, and God is no respecter of persons. - Acts 10:34.
May the God of peace bless you and keep you in His perfect will.
Yours in Christ Jesus,
Dr. Gertrude Stacks, D.H., D.D.

Formula to Straight Street
“Doing the Basics” Seeking God for the Great Outpour 1. Clear your Line To clear your line is to get everything straight and in order. Everything that you know that is wrong, stop doing, and whatever God puts in your spirit to do, you must follow those personal instructions.
2. Tell the Devil, No!
To tell the devil no is to refuse to sin. Tell him no and pick up your will and fight. Anything that you don’t feed will eventually die. If you refuse to feed ungodly habits and cravings, they will die. You fight the flesh and the devil with the word of God and with your obedience. The more you obey and resist the devil, the more spiritual ground you will gain.
3. Get in the Closet and Shut the Door
The closet is your designated place to pray. It’s your seek place; where you go to talk with the Lord. This is your time with God. Put in time with Him. The more time you put in with God through obedience and prayer, the quicker you will advance in Him.
4. Do the Necessity Things
The necessity things only consist of the things that are absolutely necessary to do. Necessity things consist of cooking, cleaning, paying bills, taking care of your children and spouse. Follow the formula and adhere to doing only the necessity things.
5. Plan your Day
Plan your day out and stick to your plan. Plan to make each day count with God. Have a scheduled prayer and study time. Also, plan to have quiet time with God to mediate and reflect on the teachings and your spiritual growth. Set spiritual goals for yourself when you plan your day.
6. No Third Party No third Party means that God wants you to himself and he wants you to be by yourself; no third person: just you and Him. No socializing, going out with friends or family members. When God calls you to Himself, he calls you and you alone in order to condition, groom and position you to be the person that He is determined to form. He cannot do this if you are clinging to and hanging on to people.
7. Quiet Your World
Quietness carries excellence. To be quiet is to have your world free from noise and distractions. To be quiet carries no protest or outcry about anything. It requires discipline and work. You must first learn to stay off the phone and the social websites. Turn off the cable TV and play your spiritual CD/DVDs in moderation.
