The Mission of Radiant Living Worship Center is to advance the cause of Christ through informative preaching, inspiring ministry, and innovative soul winning. To be a place where the anointing of God flows freely and causes all believers to be radiant, radical, and righteous and

to shine and soar to the Glory of God.

By This Men Will Know

Does anyone know you are saved? Have you shared your faith? Have you lived in a manner that would cause those around you to take notice that you are a disciple of Christ? The truth of the matter is, God has clearly told us to walk worthy of our calling. He has empowered us to be witnesses through the person of the Holy Spirit. Then God orchestrates divine moments where it should be clear that He wants to manifest His care and concern. As followers of God, this time of year provides wonderful opportunities to share and show the love of Christ. Take the time and donate to our Grenada project, pack a shoe box for Operation Christmas Child, and help tutor our young people. We prove our faith by the work we are willing to do, “faith without works is dead being alone” James 2:20. As you prepare to feast during Thanksgiving, buy a little extra so someone else may have. Love of God requires action, love toward man requires action, and God promises that when that action is manifested “men will know that you are my disciples” John 13:34. May God’s choices of blessings be yours during the Thanksgiving Holidays. Keep Shining and Soaring! Bishop Anthony T. Pelt

P A G E 2 T H E R AD IC AL

The Church of God believes the whole Bible to be completely and equally inspired and that it is the written Word of God. The Church of God has adopted the following Declaration of Faith as its standard and official expression of its doctrine. We Believe... In the verbal inspiration of the Bible. In one God eternally existing in three persons; namely, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. That Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary. That Jesus was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead. That He ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the Intercessor. That all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and that repentance is commanded of God for all and necessary for forgiveness of sins. That justification, regeneration, and the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ. In sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the blood of Christ; through the Word, and by the Holy Ghost. Holiness to be God's standard of living for His people. In the baptism with the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart. In speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance and that it is the initial evidence of the baptism of the Holy Ghost. In water baptism by immersion, and all who repent should be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Divine healing is provided for all in the atonement. In the Lord's Supper and washing of the saints' feet. In the premillennial second coming of Jesus. First, to resurrect the righteous dead and to catch away the living saints to Him in the air. Second, to reign on the earth a thousand years. In the bodily resurrection; eternal life for the righteous, and eternal punishment for the wicked.

Declaration of Faith

Bishop Jonathan Ramsey, Jr., Administrative Bishop for the Florida-Cocoa Church of God, concluded our Pastor’s Anniversary Service with a prophetic word from God: “The Miracle of the Multiplied Bread”, 2 Kings 4:42-44. This referenced scripture is one of the least miracles talked about yet one of the most powerful. Bishop Ramsey conveyed a thought provoking message, causing us to self-examine our spiritual growth as a direct result of our leader. We would not be where we are in Christ if it wasn’t for our leaders’ commitment to God and a heartfelt desire to see us live out God’s best here on the Earth. Our leaders are present for us regardless of their personal life challenges. Often times, unknown to the congregation, they are bleeding and in need of personal ministry. However, they continue to minister, counsel, implement direction, healing and continue touching the lives of the flock. We should never determine the level we give to the man of God nor limit what we do for the man of God. We must value the man and woman of God. God has given us a Shepherd to protect us from the wolves. Bishop Ramsey also spoke on the Spiritual Bread, representing the word of God and First Fruit, which represents the tithes. Giving the first of the first represents increase. First fruit brings increase into your

home; places spiritual covering over your substance; opens closed doors; causes healing to flourish in your life; provokes God to fight your battles; adds years to your life; and brings generational blessings. God will multiply the 90% so that you don’t miss the 10%. He is faithful! Bishop Ramsey continued to show us that it’s not what we eat that makes us fat spiritually, it’s what we give. Instead of sowing our seed, we eat our seed. Don’t eat your seed and miss your harvest. The more you give the more you are blessed. We should give the best that we have to get God’s attention. God blesses you so you can bless others. So, we want to bless the man of God. When we give to the man of God, he gives it back to us: his people. Supernatural release takes place when we sow into the man of God. Whatever we put in the hands of God’s servant—God will cause it to multiply. When we sow, God will multiply it back to us! He also challenged us to pray “God make me a blessing” …there is someone in need .

Important Meeting for ALL workers of RLWC

Attention ALL leaders, workers, and volunteers of Radiant Living Worship Center. There’s an important meeting scheduled for Tuesday, November 9th @ 6:30 p.m. This means if you work, volunteer, or serve in ANY area of ministry at RLWC (greeters, ushers, sing in the choir, boys/girls counselor, assist with children church, praise team, mission workers, media worker, clean the church, mothers, deacons, etc) you are required to attend this meeting. If you are unable to attend, please contact Administrative Liaison Lady Pelt @ LadyPelt@radliving.org

Please govern yourselves accordingly.

WOW Fellowship - Sunday, November 21st Would you be surprised to know that the joy and fruitfulness that God wants to flow into your life doesn't come by way of your circumstances or your relationships, or even your life's calling? It's all about your attitude-your patterns of thinking formed over time about how you look at life. Although you can't change your attitudes in a few minutes, you can admit the wrong ones and begin working on the right ones. The fact is most people don't want to change until they know for sure that "their thing" isn't working. Are you open to considering what the Lord has to say about your attitudes? Are you willing to go after this change with urgency? "Today, if you would hear [God's] voice, do not harden your hearts" (Psalm 95:7-8). Get ready for a lasting attitude adjustment. It's not about your actions. It's not about your circumstances. It's not about your relationships. It's not even about your life's calling. It's all about . . . your attitude!'You can stop the flow of negativity that causes happiness to hemorrhage, and you can start the flow of good attitudes that cause abundant joy to abound. While we can't change our attitudes overnight, we can recognize wrong attitudes and begin working on right attitudes. Join us as Lady Pelt facilitate the book “Lord, Change my Attitude Before it’s too Late.”
