SATURDAY our church had "Bible Wild" a 8 hour event from afternoon to early evening were our church band played lots of music, cooked over 100 hot dogs along with other food items. Birthed our "Clown Ministry" (with 6 clowns - 3 preteens, 2 teens and one adult). It also had the fun actity of balloon fights on a hot day. AND JUST A WHOLE LOT OF FUN.
Then Sunday morning I kept waking up on and off for about an hour and had the LORD speaking to me, things for my life and our church. BTW - I try to keep paper and pen next to my bed for this very reason. So those bedside notes ended up being my Sunday Morning sermon. Zech 4;6 & 7 being one of the key scriptures. Maybe someday I'll share more about that sermon. Then after the sermon we called people to come forward for prayer of salvation, healing, etc. some came forward and we prayed for healing and miracles in their lives and bodies. Then (I'll call her "K") K came forward to publically trust Jesus as her LORD and Savior. It was a touching moment many cried with K. So many great prayers answered in K coming to Christ. Above and beyond ALL we could ask or think, and I believe it is only the beginning.
Sunday Night I was to speak at Service in The Park, but due to rain we moved it to our church building. We had wonderful, wonderful worship primarily on our Holy God. It was awesome. Then I preached on "Our Steps are ordered of the LORD".
Monday night is prayer meeting, and periodically we do prayer walks. This time half stayed in the church and prayed while 5 went and prayed over two locations - The Mormon Church in town and the Jehovah's Witnesses Chruc in town, that God would free the members up from following mans teach, and believe the Bible alone and Salvation by faith and grace alone. And that we would share the love of Christ with them just like we do everyone else, as Jesus died for them all.
I haven't been able to sleep tonight, so have been reading "The Cross and the Switchblade" wihich changed my life over 30 year ago. Here I am picking it up
some thirty years later and again touching my life in a new way. Also seeing I had forgotten some awesome parts of this true life story. So AWESOME!!!
So now its almost 2:00 (EST) I will return to bed to pray and seek God until I fall asleep. Which I hope is soon as I have a big day ahead of me tomorrow.
In His Service,
Jim
