From there I went on full time at the Vineyard Church in Canon City Colorado. I oversaw Media Output, Missions and Outreach. Finally, full time ministry! I got to see God do amazing things, worked with amazing people, severed an amazing Pastor/Friend and was having a great time. Well, God always has plans that we do not see. Without going into great detail, my father needed help with a business he bought in Georgia. Yeah that’s right, in Georgia! I had just preached a message on Honor where one of the statements I made was “Where does it say in the Bible we are to ever stop Honoring our Father and Mother?”. Well God had me honor that statement. Now we are in Paradise…. Paradise Fruit and Vegetable a produce distrobution center located in Fairburn, GA. I laugh with God at times about his sence of humor.

Today is a new day, it seems that God has a big plan that I dont yet see. I was brought in to oversee production and work on the long term vision of the company but in 4 short months I am now fully running the operations here. God is also sending me help in the form of a great friend in ministry from Colorado!

Wow what is next! I can only wait and see!

God showed me that I had a box around Him even when I tried to make sure that I didn’t put Him in one! On Saturday night God made a lasting impression on me that still effects me today. You see, you need to think about what you ask God for. I told God that I would not let go of Him (like Jacob) until he blessed me. Well, I believe God did bless me and touch me so that I would remember His touch. Even today when I am pressing in I get a jolt in the lower right of my back. The first week after God touched me it was very hard to speak. I even had a bit of a stutter and I was extremely exhausted after speaking. To be honest it was difficult for me to accept this as a touch from God but as I prayed and rested in God’s presence He confirmed that He was doing a new thing with me.

God gave me so many things on this trip. And He continues to confirm the things that He said to me. I feel this is the closest I have ever been to God. When I was asked to talk about the trip the day following my return, about all I could get out is that I would hate myself if I ever went back to the way I was before my trip. God had already done so many things in me before the trip.

I have a hunger for God’s presence more now than ever. All I want to do is spend time with my Daddy, my Friend, my Guide, my Lord and my Savior. He is so many things and He has revealed this to me in a way I have never before understood. It is easy to sit down with Him and hangout! You see there is no longer any legitimate thing that separates us from His throne room. Jesus already paid the price and redeemed us. We can be restored to a relationship with God like Adam had before he sinned. I am getting a picture in my mind, right now as I am writing, of God weeping over us. He so longs for an intimate relationship with us. He wants to walk and talk with us daily. Jesus made the way, now all we have to do is understand that His door is open and we just have to walk in. WE ARE WELCOME!!!! THANK YOU JESUS!!!

I pray that if you are reading this and you do not know the God I speak of, that you would just call out to Him right now. Ask Him that if He is real to reveal Himself to you. If you truly mean this and are truly wondering I believe He will make Himself evident to you. God loves you and wants to have a relationship with you.

God is doing great and amazing things and I am trying to join in with Him! Get to know Him personally!

I will try and take sometime to do complete blogs tomorrow!

All I can say is WOW. God is amazing! I am here to tell you that this move is real. God is real and He touched me tonight in a way I have never been touched before! NEVER! If you are watching this revival on God TV on Direct TV or the web stream and you are skeptical about what is going on then I would tell you to COME GET SOME! I will never feel the same way again when watching people get touched by God. Even tonight as I sat and watched from my seat it was hard to believe that God was touching these people in a way that they would fall down like they were. Well all of that changed when I went through the impartation line.

Let me try and explain what I felt if I can even put it into words. Everyone made a line around the arena and began to go through a line of the Revival Team that was anointing people with oil. As I got close to the stage (between 20 and 30 feet) I began to feel my heart beat a little harder. As I got up closer to the Team praying I felt my heart with a bit of weight on it. By this time my mom was starting to go through the line and as they prayed for her she hit the ground. Now I am paying attention because I am protective of my mom . Well as I take a step forward it was like I was stepping over an invisible threshold and BAM my body started to contract a bit like I was being electrocuted. Now at this time it wasn’t severe and it didn’t hurt, it was just like my body was contracted. But when Keith Miller let go of my Mom’s hand he put his hand on my stomach and my whole body contracted towards the center of my body, my stomach. It was so strong that it was extremely hard to stand up but I pressed forward through the line of the Revival Team Members praying. Towards the end of the line I got one more dose from someone that made my legs tense up so extreme that it was very hard to walk. I felt like I was electrocuted yet I wanted more. I went there hungry and God fed me a big feast. But instead of being full it made me more hungry for God.

So much more happened in the morning service I went to and even in the night service that I will have to write about it later.

Lord have your way with me!

This was truly the case for me on Thursday. While worshiping God I had a real subdued attitude and began to weep. Here I have come from over two thousand miles away and I am crying! What is wrong with me? I am suppose to be screaming and shouting from the Joy from deep within me. Wow was I in for a shock. Right after having those thoughts Todd begins to describe how God has shown up tonight. He describes how God asked him if he wanted to see Him like Moses saw Him. Wow, just wow! About two months ago in our small group I made what I think was a bold statement by saying “I want to see the face of God”! I figured if Adam, Abraham, Moses and many others saw God - why not me. Through the reconciliation we have through Jesus I believe that it is more than possible to be in the presence of God just like all of these other guys. I believe that God is a relational God and he wants to have this relationship with us. I made a declaration and set out on a Quest to gain a relationship with God so great that I get to spend time with him Face to Face.

That quest has brought me all the way to Lakeland Florida to grow even more in my Intimacy with God. I believe this is what God is after in us, a relationship with us that is so deep that we will abandon everything that we may think is important to spend time with him. Intimacy with God is the most important thing we can have. Through this intimacy everything else will work out. Our relationships with others will be better, our work will be better and everything that we think is sooo important will be better when we first gain an intimate relationship with God.

God did several other things for me the rest of the night to confirm that he Loves me and has great plans and purposes for me. Wow, God is awesome.

I should also mention that at least 7 people have be raised from the dead since this Revival started. Yes that is right I said RAISED FROM THE DEAD! One of which was a 3 year old little girl that was pronounced dead on Monday night. There was no brain waves and her organs where allocated to someone that was suppose to be there on Tuesday. The parents began to make plans for the funeral on Tuesday. On Wednesday the girl coughed and woke up! SHE WAS DEAD AND NOW SHE IS NOT! Todd talked with the father on the phone during the meeting to confirm this! Right after this testimony there was another resurrection testimony as well as a lady healed of Parcensons and a lady that had metal rods in her back that prevented her from bending over. When God healed her last night she was able to bend over. Ha ha ha, don’t worry if you can’t get your head around that. Just know that God is a God of Love and He is the Master of the Universe!

Bill Johnson said in his book that if God is doing something somewhere and you want it then go and get it! I know that God can pour out His Anointing anyway he wants and we could even get it by watching Florida Outpouring on God.TV. But this just simply was not enough for me. I wanted to be in the presence of God like Todd Bentley was describing on God.TV. I was praying about if for about three weeks believing that if God wanted me to go he would help provide the money to get there. Well, Friday May 9th someone approached me with a check that would help me get to Florida! I pray that God pours a special blessing on that person for being a vessel for God to use to bless me!

I am now in Florida in the midst of what God is doing!

After the Prompting of God encounter, I was challenged later in the week to pray for healing in people I have never met and discuss the power of healing with relatives. One of the days a few of us prayed for someone that had severe pain and later we heard that the pain went away after we prayed. This always builds more faith.

On Tuesday I received another Spiritual Life Lesson. After I prayed for a friends family member, God spoke to me about “Taking every thought captive” 2 Corinthians 10:5. Normally I think of this verse when dealing with temptation, doubt and or disbelief. This day was different, when I was hearing a sorrowful story from a friend I was prompted to pray and pray immediately. Later in the day I felt as though I may have come across as unsympathetic. As I reflected on this I believe God said “take every thought captive”. When thoughts enter our heads during the day we should be taking them captive, praying about them and releasing them to Christ. I realized many times we start talking about things that grieve us, we being to lose Joy and get somewhat depressed. By taking those thoughts captive and praying about them it helps us release the depression and give God praise in all circumstances.

I would encourage you to pray for people(or yourself) that are in difficult situations and see how their countenance changes when the difficulties are truly released at the feet of Jesus.

I believe taking these thoughts captive and releasing them to Jesus will allow you to focus on God more and our current situations less.

This situation brings up several questions. The most obvious one is; Did she miss a gift from God because I wasn’t willing to step out of my comfort zone? Well as I began to reflect on what had happened I ask more questions to God and I believe he revealed this to me; When I prompt with something don’t ask “Do you want me to pray Lord?” ask “What do you want me to do Lord?”. You see God began to reveal to me that it isn’t always about healing a person physically. Sometimes God wants to give someone a word of knowledge or even just an encouraging hug. God just wants to show His Love to people. He chooses how he wants to do it and we just need to ask him to direct us.

The Spiritual Life Lesson for this was; If you feel prompted to pray for someone ask God what He would like to do for them.

God is still the same God that created the universe, as well as you and me. He is in the business of Loving people and drawing them to him. If we choose to be sold out and hold nothing back for ourselves, I believe God will use us to cast a net to draw many people to Him.

I would encourage you today to lay everything in your life down for Him today and see what He has for you.

I have been apart of a small group that has brought more clarity to what our purpose as a Christian is. The group started meeting to discuss a book by Bill Johnson (http://www.bjm.org or http://www.ibethel.org) called When Heaven Invades Earth. This study has revolutionized the way I see God!

If you really want to find out what God has for you then I encourage you to pick-up this book. I will be sharing all that God is doing in our lives on this blog so I hope you check back every once and a while.
