6. MCM GRAND OPENING!
On October 7, 2012, Pastor Antonio Herndon of The Miracle Center
Ministries launched out again as a church. This time it was special as this
Church had the presence of Bishop Gregory L Bowers and the Penuel
MBC congregation present to complete the fellowship. The Miracle
Center truly loves the Bishop and their Penuel Family!
7. Miracle Center Opens in the City of
Bellflower
The atmosphere was highly charged that evening in Angel City. The visitors may
have felt like they were miles away from Bellflower, looking at the ancient
dwellings drawn throughout the Christian venue. Friends, family and guest
poured in during that evening at 5 pm to embark on the new beginning of the
Miracle Center Ministries.
8. MCM HISTORY IN THE
MAKING
Pastor Antonio Herndon and the MCM congregation have been established in the
ministry since 2008 and are no strangers to change. This is the third move for the
Miracle Center and one that God divinely orchestrated in His timing!
9. MCM 2012 GRAND OPENING!
“All I think about is preaching”, Pastor Herndon was often heard saying while
patiently serving as the newly appointed First Assistant under Apostolic Order of
the Jubilee Fellowship that Bishop Bowers presides over. The MCM congregation
waited too and came along Pastor’s side.
With confidence and the strength of an Army, Pastor Herndon preached on that hot
October evening! One could have gleaned an impartation from the Lord and
from any ministry as music, dancing singing, teaching and preaching were
bountiful…
10. Praise! The Lord
Special guests included the talents of Gospel Artist, Elder Larry Houston; Mine
Ministry of Tommy the Clown and Company; Praise Leader Gregory Bowers Jr.
and praise singers; New St. Paul Praise leader, Deacon Newton and praise team
and Pastor Strickland of Sacred Cross Christian Church

12. SERMON BITES
“REPENT Defined: Change your mind! “
• Scriptures: Mark 1:15 The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent ye and believe the gospel
• Mark ll:23-24 That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou
cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he
saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
• Matthew 17:20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you,
If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to
yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
• 1 Corinthians 12:7-11 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit
withal.
• 8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by
the same Spirit;
• 9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
• 10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits;
to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
• 11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as
he will.
13. SERMON BITES
“REPENT Defined: Change your mind! “
• Concept: In order to grasp the concept of Faith you have to change your
mind. Faith begins where the will of God is known
• What: Faith is like an egg. It has to transform. If the egg does not develop it stinks. Faith is
like change -it seizes the moment. Repent (to change) metanoia: means to change the way
you think. Speak to the problem relying on the will of God: Revealed Will: the written word of
God; Sovereign Will: move of God according to 1Corithians 12: 7-11 Permissive Will: the
Rhema knowledge of God. Example: how do you know what person to marry or what job to
take?
• How: Change the mind set by doing something different. Example: Never say you can’t afford
it but say “it’s not wisdom for me right now.” Faith begins where the will of God is known.
• When: Faith believes now! The flesh constantly doubts but our part is to believe. You must
find interest in reading and meditating on the word of God.
• Why: God needs us to comply with him. Start speaking what the word says as the solution to
the problem.
• Who: The authority in the word of God has been given to the believer through Jesus Christ.
He gave us rights to claim the promises of God. Jesus is our advocate to carry out what we
want.
