I have been thinking a lot about the power of God. I know there is something more. I am convinced we have access to everything God has for us in His Kingdom based on the finished work of Jesus on the cross. But, I am aware as I listen, read, watch and pray that people are seeing the Kingdom in ways that go 'off the charts' from my old paradigm.
I was invited by my friend Carter Wood, pastor of the Vertical Call church in Santa Rosa, Ca. to go with him to Brazil on a Global Awakening team led by Randy Clark. The short story is that after receiving prophetic 'words' and dreams the money came in to enable me to apply and be accepted on the team.
I have been listening more intently to men and women who walk in impartation and gifting in the area of healing. I have been tracking with the revival and renewal that is 'now' and is increasing upon the earth. I do not know what those who know me will think. But I must confess that I am going for God in this outpouring.
I intend to report on my experience in Brazil. Our trip will Sept. 24-Oct. 6.
Yesterday at the Giving Tree church here in Santa Rosa I brought a message and a declaration from Is.55:10-11.
"The words that come forth from my mouth do not return to me void, they accomplish the purpose for which they are sent and prosper in the thing for which I send them."
After church, Jan, Hannah and I were praying for a woman who had a pinched nerve in her neck and had much pain and migraine headaches for a long time. Tears of joy came soon as she realized her pain was gone! Just like that, gone! She moved her neck with pain free liberty for the first time in years.
Today I got a call from a man who had a promise from God to have his plumbing business prosper so that he could increase in his 'gift' of giving. He told me about how the economy had made things hard lately. He was at church yesterday too. We agreed together Is.55:10-11 again and he hung up.
He called back 10 minutes later and told me that right after we hung up he got a call from a customer who gave him a $10,000.00 contract!
I don't know where I am going with this 'blog' except to say that it is hard to keep a Theology of doubt when you watch the Holy Spirit love on people in tangible ways like that. I will never forget the look on that woman's face nor the joy in that man's voice when they felt His reality touch and transform theirs.
