Please allow me to share with you just a little of my background and just a few of the happenings that led up to this very important moment in time. I am Kerry Siler, and my wife's name is Karen.
I have been preaching the gospel message for some 35 years mostly here in Brevard Co. and in Florida. I thought I had retired, but I guess the “old saying” holds true: we make plans and God overrides. The Lord began to deal with me approximately 18 months ago regarding starting a church here in Melbourne.
To be honest with you, I was a bit reluctant because, having already done so some years ago, I am very much aware of the work involved in starting a new church. So, I came up with at least a dozen excuses. However, the more I resisted the prompting of the Holy Spirit, the hungrier I became for the presence of GOD; so much so, I simply could continue resisting the prompting of the HOLY SPIRIT any longer.
Finally, I really got down to business with God and began praying even more fervently. It was about that time I begin to share with my son William (Will), also a Preacher some of the things the HOLY SPIRIT was speaking to my heart; only to find out he too was experiencing some of the same concerns as was I and the same hunger. So, he and I began to seek GOD’S will even more fervently. Finally, I said Yes LORD I will do whatever I have to do; I just want to be in YOUR presence. I just want to have a place, a House of Prayer where YOUR children can gather and worship YOU in Spirit and in Truth; a place where we can lift up that precious name, that name that is above every name; the name of JESUS. We want a place we can invite our lost love ones and friends, a place where they will hear about JESUS CHRIST and HIM Crucified; a place where they will experience the convicting power and presence of an Almighty GOD.
My Son and I also had been talking to the LORD about the lack of fear and reverence we seem to be seeing in today’s modern churches and it troubled us greatly. GOD revealed to us individually, yet at the same time: we are not the only ones in this area that are hungry for HIS presence and that have become concerned regarding a lack of fear and reverence in today’s churches. Then The HOLY SPIRIT spoke to my heart very clearly “just as it was in the days of Elijah, so it is now. I still have a remnant that has not bowed their knee to Baal.
That being said, we are asking the GOOD LORD to lead us to those people who might be willing to help us plant and grow a new church; a church where you can come to any service and sense and feel the Mighty Presence of Almighty GOD; a church where the “MESSAGE OF THE CROSS” is preached and upheld at each and every service. We are hoping to have our inaugural service August 7, 2022.
We are also hoping you might just make this a matter of prayer and that GOD will confirm in your hearts what HE has confirmed in ours, that is, if HE has not already done so!
