We Are One: Rooted & Grounded in God...We Are Family GOD IS LOVE

About Me


My name is Pat Craik. I live in Montgomery, Alabama and I'm married and have 3 absolutely awesome children. Tony (23), John (22), and Heather (19). Life has been good for the past few years. It hasn't always been that way though.... But, thanks to Jesus we are all new creatures in Christ and headed in the right direction now! My family's testimony is really mind-blowing; especially to all of you that knew us in the past. You can read my testimony above if you would like to know a little about where we came from and where we are now.
All 3 of my children have been with Eddie James Ministries. This is a full-time ministry that travels all over the country leading worship, performing concerts, drama, dance, and rap to proclaim the word of God. The ministry is commissioned to stir the Church and win the lost to Jesus Christ. My boys produce and sing Christian HipHop. They are called "XSTATIC". My daughter has just returned from IHOP (International House of Prayer) in Kansas City, Missouri, where she just completed the Fire In The Night Internship. She is presently a part of Ultimate Call with Eddie James Ministries. John is currently living in Florence, Alabama and attending Northwest Shoals Community College. He plans to move to Kansas City in the near future. Tony is living in Montgomery producing music. Check out his page....beats for sale! I am so proud of them and so thankful to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We are a work in progress, but I refuse to think anything but the truth...that God will finish what He started! (Philippians 1:6). Without Him, we can do NOTHING! Hallelujah!

Me and Mrs. Jackson. She was my 4th grade teacher. The last time I saw her was 30 years ago; however, God changed that and reunited us on September 8, 2007. SHE IS 103 YEARS OLD!!!
GOD IS GOOD!

Pastors Mac and Sandra Gober are the founders of Canaan Land Bible School. Because of their love for Jesus and their belief in Him, they have dedicated their lives to helping people in pain.

If not for the faithfulness and obedience of Pastors Mac and Sandra Gober, their children, and the entire staff at Canaan Land Ministries, I may not even be alive at this very moment and my children would be in prison or dead. Yes, our lives were pretty well messed up! These people took my children in and introduced them to Jesus. It wasn't easy being their spiritual family and mentors, but they NEVER gave up. You see, they KNOW what God can do!

All the while I started going to church at Voice of Victory and the transformation of lives I witnessed, in turn changed my life. In 12 months I saw at least 20 young men who were so messed up with drugs, gangs, crimes, dysfunctional families, you name it.....these are people who are nothing but throw aways to the world and even their families had given up on them. Most of them didn't want to be there at first and didn't really care if they ended up dead, in hell, in prison.....nothing mattered. Now they are my family! I consider them my very best friends and I would literally lay my life down for them....any day, any time, they can call on me.

We all changed together and it was the absolute most amazing experience of my life. Runs a close race with giving birth to my children! I will never, ever, ever be the same! We are forever family and I will NEVER stop thanking my God for them.

It wasn't "luck" that got my children there. It was all my God. He put the right attorneys, the right judges, even the right prisoners at the county jail, in our lives at just the right time! I'm here to be a witness, there definitely IS a God, He did send His Son Jesus, for US! ALL OF US! YES, YOU TOO! God is no respector of persons. Whatever He's done for someone else, He'll do the same for you! You just have to believe in Him, accept His Son as your Savior, confess and repent of your sins, and talk to Him and have a relationship with Him!

God IS faithful....ALL THE TIME!

I'd like to meet:






IHOP has been opened around the clock since September 19, 1999, with a continuous prayer meeting offering harp and bowl worship and intercessory prayer twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. The ministry is centered on prayer, contemplation, fasting, evangelism, and teaching and equipping believers for the end times, which they believe are quickly approaching. The prayer room functions in two hour shifts, each led by full teams of musicians and singers. There is a daily schedule of different types of prayer meetings throughout the day. The base features a Bible college, the Forerunner School of Ministry, and the Forerunner Music Academy.

Revelation 5: 8 & 9 " The four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints, and they sang a new song..."

"The waves of death swirled about me; the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me. The cords of the grave coiled around me; the snares of death confronted me. In my distress I called to the Lord; I called out to my God. From his temple, he heard my voice; my cry came to his ears. ~2 Samuel 22:5

HALLELUJAH!



T he battle for our children's lives is waged on our knees. When we don't pray, it's like sitting on the sidelines watching our children in a war zone getting shot at from every angle. When we do pray, we're in the battle alongside them, appropriating God's power on their behalf. If we also declare the Word of God in our prayers, then we wield a powerful weapon against which no enemy can prevail.

Jesus Is Lord!


He is the First and Last, the Beginning and the End!
He is the keeper of Creation and the Creator of all!
He is the Architect of the universe and the Manager of all times.
He always was, He always is, and He always will be...
Unmoved, Unchanged, Undefeated, and never Undone!

He was bruised and brought healing!
He was pierced and eased pain!
He was persecuted and brought freedom!
He was dead and brought life!
He reigns and brings Peace!
He is risen and brings power.
The world can't understand him, The armies can't defeat Him,
The schools can't explain Him, and The leaders can't ignore Him.
He is the son of God!

Herod couldn't kill Him, The Pharisees couldn't confuse Him,
The people couldn't hold Him and Nero couldn't crush Him!
Hitler couldn't silence Him and The New Age can't replace Him!

I serve Him because His bond is love.
His burden is light, and His goal for me is abundant life.
I follow Him because He is the wisdom of the wise,
the power of the powerful, the ancient of days,
the ruler of rulers, the leader of leaders, the overseer of the overcomers,
and the sovereign Lord of all that was and is and is to come.

His goal is a relationship with ME! He will never
leave me, never forsake me, never mislead me,
never forget me,
never overlook me, and never cancel my appointment
in His appointment book!

When I fall, He lifts me up! When I fail, He forgives!
When I am weak, He is strong!
When I am lost, He is the way!
When I am afraid, He is my courage!
When I stumble, He steadies me!
When I am hurt, He heals me!
When I am broken, He mends me!
When I am blind, He leads me!
When I am hungry, He feeds me!

When I face trials, He is with me!
When I face persecution, He shields me!
When I face problems, He comforts me!
When I face loss, He provides for me!
When I face Death, He carries me Home!
He is everything for everybody, everywhere,
every time, and every way.
He is God and He is faithful.
I am His and He is mine!

My Father in heaven can whip the father of this world.
So, if you're wondering why I feel so secure, understand this...
He said it and that settles it.
God is in control, I am on His side,
and that means all is well with my soul.
He is light, love, longevity, and Lord.
He is goodness, Kindness, Gentleness, and God.
He is Holy, Righteous, mighty, powerful, and pure.
His word is eternal, His will is unchanging and
His mind is on me.

He is my Redeemer, He is my Savior,
He is my guide and He is my peace!
He is my Joy, He is my comfort
and He rules my life.
He is my Lord!

Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones, "Behold, I will cause breath to enter you that you may come to life." ~Ezekiel 37:5

"And it shall be in the last days, says God, I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh......Acts2:17



Let The Fire Fall

We who are God's children need to pray and seek for the fire of His Holy Ghost to fall upon us if we are to be strong and stand firm in our belief in Him. And if we want to see our unsaved loved ones and those who are lost come to Him then we need to pray continually for the fire of revival to fall all across this land and also throughout the whole earth.

Praise God for the fire of His righteousness! Pray God, let it fall on us! Amen!........

God sent His Son so YOU could live forever! Yes YOU! He planned your life BEFORE the earth was formed! He chose YOU! He suffered for YOU. He paid the price for YOUR sins! For all of us, yes, but for YOU individually. He knows YOU...He made You....He knows how many hairs are on YOUR head. He knows what YOU are going to do tomorrow and the next day and every single day of YOUR life. If you don't know Him, please ask Him to forgive your sins and get to know Him. Only then will you realize that you have been DEAD all the time you lived without Him!

Music:

..Don't EVER forget who YOU are!

Don't ever give up! Keep reminding yourself that you fight a defeated enemy. He can do nothing but tell lies and hope we are silly enough to believe him. One of his highest aims is to discourage us. Whenever you feel discouraged, you can be sure who is behind it. You need never fail again, but even if you failed continuously, for as long as you keep wanting to beat sin, and keep looking in faith to Jesus, God is proud to call you his child. In his eyes you have the purity, holiness, and self-control of Christ himself. Everyone else might give up on you, but God won’t. He believes in you. He’s staked his reputation on you. He’s invested everything in you!

What matters is not how many times you hit the dust, but how many times you get up again. Just keep looking for a deeper spiritual experience. No matter how wonderful your present intimacy with God, in the vastness of God, there is always more!

I thank You, Lord Jesus,

For guiding me
When I wasn't aware of
Your presence,

For loving me
When I didn't love myself,

For protecting me
When I was so sure I was
being strong,

For carrying me
When I was positive I was
standing on my own,

And for being on my side
When even I was not,

Yes, Father, thank You
For being my best friend...

Doubt is doubt,
and I am God.
Confusion is confusion,
and I am God.
Self is self
and I am God.

Be still and know
that I am God.

Power of Prayer. . .
Worry can do a lot of things to you;
Prayer can do a lot of things for you!

Create your own visitor map!

Television:

God created you to be a warrior, and He’s given you all the weapons you need to WIN! Here are some of the weapons the Bible talks about:
• God’s Word (Ephesians 6:17; Hebrews 4:12). Quote a Bible verse and watch Satan scram!
• Prayer (Ephesians 6:18). You win when you pray God’s Word!
• Praise (Psalm 8:2). Hush Satan up with your praises to God!
• Jesus’ blood (Revelation 12:10-11). Overcome the devil by telling him that you love and belong to Jesus—and are protected by Jesus because He died for you on the cross!
Even before God made the world, He planned out exactly what you would be like—and what you would do as a soldier in His kingdom. You are special! You were born for this!
SO REMEMBER: Spiritual warfare is real, and the weapons are real. And God has given you everything you need to be one of the most amazing warriors the kingdom of Light has ever seen.
So you can inform all of your enemies that you are tailor made for God's assignment and that He has already factored in every trial, battle, hindrance, report, weakness, failure, circumstance, rejection, abandonment, and every obstacle in the Christian race. You need to declare - Don't even try to hinder me now because God has written my name on His agenda, signed in the blood of Jesus, and no weapon formed, and I mean no weapon, whatever it is, and I mean whatever, can ever possibly prosper!
FOR THE WORD OF GOD IS QUICK, AND POWERFUL, THAN ANY TWO-EDGED SWORD, PIERCING EVEN TO THE DIVIDING ASUNDER OF SOUL AND SPIRIT, AND OF JOINTS AND MARROW, AND IS A DISCERNER OF THE THOUGHTS AND INTENTS OF THE HEART. HEBREWS 4:12
This is the Word of GOD. It is never lying, infallible, food for my soul. I can do what it says I can do. I can have what it says I can have. And, I am who it says I am. Its the truth, and I believe it! Praise GOD, In JESUS Name, AMEN! Hallelujah!

Books:

Lord, Give me...

Heroes:



U se me, Lord, and let me serve
In every way I can.
Let me channel love and hope,
According to Your plan.
Show me the way, lead me to where
There is a plea for help and care.
Then let me be the light and means
To be the answer to a prayer.
Use my talents and my strengths
That I might serve You best
By sharing all You've given me,
For which I'm truly blessed.
Use me Lord, give me the words
To comfort and console.
Then guide me with each step I take
To touch the heart of some dear soul.
For I have much that I can give
And I offer willingly
To be Your vessel while I serve...
Dear precious Lord, use me.
