MAXIMIZE CHURCH
A Family that Prays together Sticks Together
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.
- 2 Corinthians 10:3-6
Pastor Glenn felt the leading of the Holy Spirit to gather as a Church and pray together in unity with 10 specific verses for 10 specific days. During this time God gave us 10 verses to claim ground and declare Jesus victory over our church and the lives of our families. Only a few days into this journey it is already shaping our lives, families and circumstances. Hallelujah!
Day 1 - Unity "And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place." Acts 2:1
Day 2 - Growth "Make your tent larger, stretch your tent curtains farther out! Spare no effort, lengthen your ropes, and pound your stakes deep" Isaiah 54:2
Day 3 - Provision "And my God will supply all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus" Philippians 4:13
I pray you are experiencing this freedom in your life and growing in revelation with these heavenly principles. Prayer is executing God’s will here on earth and governing the spiritual forces. If you would also like to get involved please let Pastor Glenn know to add you on the email list J And never cease praying!
"God shapes the world by prayer" E. M. Bounds

Spirit, Soul, Body “I am the b read o f li f e . He who come s to Me shall neve r hung er, and he
who b el ie v es in Me shal l never thir st” – John 6 :34
We fill our empty vessels with the bread of life so that we may flow forth the living waters of Christ into every area of our lives. What, or more importantly, Who, are you consuming and eating of today?
Being a Christian isn’t just about working for God but has always been a matter of eating and enjoying Christ as Life. Just think, Adam’s future all came down to what he ate-‐-‐-‐ eating from the Tree of Life would lead to fullness of life but if he ate from the Tree of Knowledge it would lead to a path of destruction.
Day 4 – Possibility "For nothing is impossible with God" Luke 1:37
Day 6 - Influence “Pray that the Lord's message will spread rapidly and be honored wherever it goes, just as when it came to you" 2 Thessalonians 3:1
Day 7 - Fruitfulness "When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father" John 15:8
Day 8 - Intimacy "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you" James 4:8
Day 9 - Power "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind" 2 Timothy 1:7
Day 10 – Multiplication "Then God blessed them, and God said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it’ Genesis 1:28
Day 5 - Favour "Certainly you reward the godly, LORD. Like a shield you protect them in your good favour" Psalm 5:12

Friday nights to the Max
Friday nights are intentionally more relaxed and less structured in a comfortable family setting making this is the perfect opportunity to invite your friends and family. These nights of fellowship usually include food, fun (did some one say Ping Pong!), a video, coffee & a chat, prophetic worship & release over your life!
Building fundraising dinner
The Maxi Kitchen has kicked off with scrumptious cooking from the Daniels, Marianna & Co.! Together we can build the Ministry Centre with one dinner at a time. There’s an opportunity to bless someone with an Angel Meal and any uncollected Angel meals will be donated towards the fund. So bring your friends and family with an empty stomach for a relaxed night of fellowship 7pm Friday nights to the Max!
Maxi Ministry Centre
It’s time Maximize Church! And the ball is now rolling! Breaking free from being pressed on either side we’re following God’s voice to set up a Ministry Centre to bring all parts of the church into one location to serve the community, ministry, college and you! Church services however will continue at the Parramatta location for this season as it is able to appropriately serve with full equipment. This Ministry Centre will create a facility to encourage expansion for the Bible College, a place for the worship team to practice freely without noise and time restraints, a functional and conveniently located administration and office, and most importantly an environment for prayer, deliverance, healing and refuge throughout the week. “It’s got to take all of us to do the little to make the big happen” Please support and pray for God’s wisdom and favour to open the doors at the right time and to the right place. By God’s grace in just 2 weeks we have already raised 10%! Praise God!!!

Hi Pastors Glenn and Esther, we have just been reflecting on how far we have come in the last year or so and just wanted to say a big thank you for the part you've played in that. Thank you for sowing into Maximize Church and us as well. You truly are changing lives and building up the next generation of world changers. We know a lot of what you do
can go unnoticed and possibly even unappreciated but we definitely
appreciate you and love that you're a part of our lives!!! Have a blessed week -‐ We love you!
And they overcame him by the BLOOD of the Lamb, and by the word of their TESTIMONY
God is going to do something truly amazing in next semester Bible College as He does... I am so excited... I’ve been a Christian for 7 months and my knowledge about God has increased about exponentially! I have grown spiritually and so rapidly I can’t fathom what else Jesus has in store for each and every one of us. Never in any amount of years would I think me, Joe would know the knowledge that I have received from bible college. Even more amazing is that its not even just knowledge but the wisdom! It's so great guys… God will never disappoint… do it in faith... in Jesus name AMEN!!!

"The steps of the godly are directed by the Lord. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will not fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand. Once I was young, and now I am old, yet I have never seen the godly forsaken, nor seen their children begging for bread."-‐ Psalm 37:23-‐25 I have been living in a Christian share house for almost 2 years now. As of late it has become a highly stressful and unsafe environment to live in for various reasons. The Lord has very evidently directed my steps in finding a new place and getting me out of the old place hastily. On gumtree.com I searched 'Christian house share' in the local area and found a lovely looking place. I inspected it a few days later and was accepted the same day. I am moving out this weekend! God has also miraculously made a way financially to make it possible. There is no way it would've been possible in the natural. God is faithful to perform His word!
Maximize your life in Jesus
We love you J
