Dear Church Family,
Today we are living in unprecedented times and we could even say there is a tipping point. Every one of us has been impacted by all that has taken place in the past few months. Our prayers and proclamations of scripture have been heard and implemented. We have seen the devastation in our communities but we have also seen the hand of God moving on our behalf and those we are interceding for. God's covenant protection has been huge in our lives and we do not take that for granted or even gloat in the many successes. Our Heart is, God hear our prayers and heal our Nation.
I believe most of you have seen our governor has shut down the State again. In the mandate, we are not allowed to have our services and gather for any other reason. We will follow the mandates given to us with a heart that says again, Heal our Land!!!
Personally, and I believe being led of the Holy Spirit, we will not stop, but minister as we did before. Beginning July 19th, we will start our Sunday Morning at 9:00 am with: "Praying with the Pastor". As you well know, we begin to pray in Tongues and at 9:10 am I will begin to speak by reading scripture and finish with prayer in English. (Please understand if you hear noise please mute your phone and make sure it is not your phone creating the sound). 515.606.5187 code 575549# Keep dialing because many are joining. We are working on a better system.
At 9:30 am, Pastor Christina Rodriguez will have the amazing Kingdom Kids online. Facebook Live!!! She will finish just before 10:00 am when we will have the online services of Valley Community Church.
Please continue to pray and communicate with us. Even though we are not allowed to go see you personally, we want in a personal way to touch and impact your lives. As always your Pastor and Teri Love you and believe in the call of God you are walking in. Stay the course and soon again we will meet rejoicing together not forsaking the assembly of the believer. Stay in the Word and watch closely as we announce new things we will do online. Pray the Word of God has free course!!!
Blessings, Go Deeper!!!!

FEW MORE MONTHS LEFT BEFORE HARVEST
In prayer one morning ... I asked,
”Lord this Valley (talking about this Pandemic) journey is getting too long, this is supposed to be only a ‘passthrough‘ (Psalm 23).
I heard a familiar voice, “Why are you still there?”
I was reminded of His promise from 2018 to 2020:
2018: “The year of the womb”
Our spiritual womb prepared for the implantation of His Word.
From the beginning (Genesis 1:1-3), The Holy Spirit hovers over the waters, the waters of His Word (Ephesians 5:26), And we will hear the sound of His Word (Revelation 14:2).
“And the Lord spoke to you out of the midst of the fire. You heard the sound of the words, but saw no form;you only heard a voice”
( Deuteronomy 4:12, NKJV).
2019: The word for 2020 is “The Word”.
The entrance of the sound of His Word: The Hearing ear
“Take heed what you hear. With the same measure you use, it will be measured to you;
and to you who hear, more will be given.” (Mark 4:24, NKJV).
“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. (John 10;27, NKJV)
When we hear the sound of His Word as The Holy Spirit hovers over His Word, we too like Mary will declare, “let it be according To Your Word.” (Luke 1:38).
Do not hold back !! See Visions and Dream Dreams,
Stretch, lengthen, strengthen, open wide and spread out. Do not be afraid, you will not be put to shame,
do not fear disgrace you will not be humiliated “(Isaiah 54).
THIS YEAR 2020: THE YEAR OF THE ROAR
YOUR SPIRITUAL WOMB HAS BEEN IMPREGNATED WITH HIS WORD OF PROMISE THIS YEAR YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND FROM WITHIN YOU RELEASE MY WORD
AND MY WORD WILL NOT RETURN TO ME VOID.
“... I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me.
10 I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.’ (Isaiah 46:9-10, NIV) “There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against The Lord”
(Proverbs 21:30, NIV).
Do not be intimidated by the temper tantrums of the enemy:
The face mask, the isolation and restrictions
and the chanting of the false prophets of Baal.
Harvest is here, the shaking and the division is a phenomenon of Harvest! The shaking and the division is a sign of harvest:
Dividing the wheat and the tares; shaking (harvesting ) the Fruits ripe and ready. 2020 WILL DETERMINE THE NEXT DECADE(S)(20+20=40).
THIS IS THE INHERITANCE YOU WILL LEAVE BEHIND
THAT WILL INFLUENCE THE NEXT GENERATION.
Before the interruption (the Pandemic)
HEAVEN’S STRATEGY WAS ALREADY REVEALED:
OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND I WILL FILL IT!! PRAY AND LANDSCAPE YOUR FUTURE!
I was reminded of a wailing sound I heard during one of my early morning Secret Place Prayer Time in a foreign country.
The wailing was amplified with a loudspeaker blasting throughout the whole city, I was reminded, the enemy morning by morning shows up in court (Second Heaven) and raise their tongues in condemnation against us. We must show up, overrule, refute, and condemn every word the enemy has raised against us. SHOW UP IN COURT!! PRAY!! DECLARE MY WORD!!
“No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me,” SaystheLord.” (Isaiah54:17, NKJV)
YOUR JOURNEY CONTINUES - THE YEAR IS STILL 2020.
HEAVEN IS SENDING REINFORCEMENTS.
DECLARE MY WORD AND LANDSCAPE YOUR FUTURE
RELEASING THE MIGHTY WARRING ANGELS, WHO OBEYS MY WORD.
“Bless the Lord, you, His angels, Who excel in strength, who do His word, Heeding the voice of His word. (Psalm 103:20, NKJV).
NO GRUMBLING ALLOWED, DESPISING THE PROMISE
“Then they despised the pleasant land; they did not believe his promise.
25 TheygrumbledintheirtentsanddidnotobeytheLord.”(Psalm106:24-25,NIV)
WRITE IT DOWN *MAKE IT CLEAR *READ IT *DECLARE IT *AND RUN WITH IT “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it.
3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time;...it will surely come,...”(Habakkuk2:2-3, NKJV).
THE APPOINTED TIME IS HERE.: “ ...There shall be no more delay....”( Revelation 5:8). REMEMBER THE PROPHECIES/PROMISES SO YOU CAN WAGE A GOOD WARFARE
“ ...according to the prophecies previously made concerning you,
that by them you may wage the good warfare,” ( 1 Timothy 1:18 NKJV)
STOP DELEGATING YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO THE WICKED!
THIS CALL IS TO YOU...
“My people, who are called by my name,
will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:14,NIV)
IT IS THE RIGHTEOUS WHO HAS THE NEGOTIATING POWER TO MOVE THE THRONE
“I am looking for someone ...who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it,....” (Ezekiel 22:30, NKJV)
I HAVE A PLAN ...FOLLOW THE PLAN AND OBEY MY VOICE
“Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God,
to observe carefully all His commandments ...
that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth.
2 And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you,
because you obey the voice of the Lord your God:
Deuteronomy 28:1-2, NKJV

Dear Church Family and Friends,
Recently, our Fine Arts Team gathered together to record Daily Praise. As you well know, it is one of the many amazing ministries this team produces. Following that day, one of the team was tested at work and was found COVID positive.
All involved with the team were informed and now are quarantined. We’re glad to tell you that for all the worship team who have been tested as a result of the situation have come back negative; not one other case. Praise the Lord! Everyone on the worship team is healthy, but please continue to pray for our family member.
Additionally, for the protection of our congregation, the quarantine causes our Fine Arts Team not to be in Church for 2 weeks beginning July 12th and then on July 19th. What this means is we will be welcoming Joe Garate to lead us in worship at our 9 am and 11 am services. If you do not know Joe, He is the worship leader for our Spanish services. He and his family have been part of Valley Community for decades. Also, we will not be able to have our live streaming service available on the dates mentioned above due to the technological complications that have come because of the situation. Therefore, we will have the recent prophetic series entitled “This is not the End, Just the Beginning” available to watch on YouTube and Facebook. We will video record Sundays services and have each Sunday’s message available on myvcc.org as soon as possible.
Finally, we want you to know that our campus is clean and sanitized according to state and local requirements. We look forward to gathering again with you to worship our Lord and Savior. If you are at home, please know that you are prayed for on a daily basis. We are so thankful for you!
Continue to walk in His Covenant protection.
In His Grace,
Pastor Gary
