voices

One thing that I am convinced of is that the great things in my life are nothing more than a result of the awesome people that God has placed in my life. I have been incredible blessed to have some of the best minds in the Body of Christ pour into my life. I really believe that we are created for connection. There are few people that we will ever have relationship with that truly are committed to our success and do not expect anything in return. A real mentor will see the best in you and not how they can benefit from you or your gift. They also are not so impressed with you that they are afraid to tell you the truth about yourself! I have a couple just like that in my life and Tracy and I are so blessed because of their ministry. Bishop Tony and Kathy Miller. I am excited to be taking a few guys from the church here to Texas to be in his meetings along with some other great friends. Next week will be incredible!

Intimacy

These past few weeks have been very good for me and my relationship with Jesus. Studying praise and worship has just opened a new level of relationship between us. I am sensing His presence all throughout the day and His voice is soooo clear. I am hearing Him talk to me all day everyday. Simple things. Not really a "thus saith the Lord" moment but a small voice that is instructing me and guiding me in the little details of my life. My worship time is almost unbearable. At times His presence is so strong that I cannot say a word. The only appropriate thing to do it seems is just get on my face in the floor! The question for me now is this, "Is there more?" I already know the answer and I am on a journey to get it. I can feel Him smile as i pursue Him. It is pleasing to Him for me to crave His presence like this. That was His original intent for man anyway. To be with Him! I am working to push out distractions and thoughts that so easily steal our time together. I am working to discipline my mind to allow my spirit to pray as often and as long as i can without being pulled back from Him. Where will this go? Who cares. All I know is that it is getting me closer to the Lover of My Soul and that is worth any price.

Getting it Right

I do not know where to start. There have been so many things happen since my last post. I have been very busy doing some great things. I spent a few days in October with Bishop Miller in Oklahoma and it was awesome. He (and others) prophesied over me and Tracy for about 15 minutes and we began to see those exact things happening in less than a week upon our return.
We began our resource center at Destiny about 3 weeks ago and we started with just the books that we have had in our system and we have sold almost every book that we have! People are getting a hold of the vision we have for renewing the mind. If you stop and listen to our future leaders talking you can hear them comment on their personality type and their spiritual gifts!
Last weekend was incredible for our team as well. Not because we had some people standing in the back because it was crowded on Sunday morning, but because my living room was crowded for Saturday night prayer and because it was even more crowded for 4th gear which is the leadership class in our system!
I cannot tell you how excited I am to have this first "class" shift into overdrive and begin leading ministries. We will reach so many more people this spring as a result of a patient approach to growth. We are not building a big church here. We are building big people. Watch out America, HERE WE COME!!!!!!!!
