>>> Sure Is A Lot Of Talk...<<<

There sure is a lot of talk…

Debating the right or wrongs of light-beer . . . .eeerrr…… I meant to say light-makeup …

Discussing how much to pay an evangelist…. Or NOT to pay 

The proper duties of an assistant pastor, or IF we even need one….

This line was removed by Admin

Should we take a cruise or go to Branson with friends….???

Or maybe better yet….. rent a Greyhound bus and go to AMC Conference in Nashville..…


Yep……
There sure is a lot of talk goin’ on…

I think it’s called LIFE…… 

It’s great isn’t it

And in the middle of all of us being human and fussing with our flesh…

God has been busy being God … in spite of us.

Some of you are walking through a valley deeper than you could have imagined for yourself.

Hang tight….. It’s a miracle in the making.
The testimony the Lord is going to give you will bless many with confidence that they too, can persevere, by and through Him.

Many of you are experiencing the greatest move of God, thus far, of your entire ministry!

It isn’t because YOU are so brilliant and magnificent! It’s because He is faithful to His Word. You have obeyed His Word…. He is honoring His covenant to bless those who are obedient. HE is the ONE who is so amazing!

I’m not real sure how YOU feel……..
But I know MY faults… I know MY Weaknesses…. I know MY FAILURES!.....

And when He moves into a service like He did for us on Sunday night, THEN I KNOW ….. It’s ALL about HIM !.... NOT me!

God allowed me to watch as a man who came to church in a wheelchair, paralyzed on his left side… raised his good right hand in worship, lifting our Lord to the highest point of praise that his crippled body would allow….

We worshipped with him as he lifted his “drawn” crippled left hand as high as he could…. Then a little higher… his arm, hand and fingers seemed to relax… he just kept reaching higher….two men lifted him to his feet… held him up for a while at the altar, as he continued to worship….

Evangelist Gary Blacksher had already prayed for him and proclaimed that God would allow him to “walk out of here tonight”.

God allowed me to witness as that young man started STOMPING his feet… both of them!

I told him he needed to start walking across the front of the church praising God…..

God allowed me to watch as this young man did exactly as I told him and as God had promised……

He walked back and forth across the front of the church a couple of times, and then broke into a RUN around the church.

He lifted up Jesus……. Jesus lifted him UP….. from his wheelchair!

Needless to say the church “came un-glued”!

God allowed me to witness a lady bartender 60 plus years old, pray through to the baptism of the Holy Ghost.

God allowed me to baptize another lady in Jesus name, and witness her infilling of the Holy Ghost as she came out of the water, the JOY of the Lord all over her.

ALL THAT AND MUCH MORE … Sunday night.


1 month ago I buried a 56 yr old backslider.

His un-saved 45 yr old widow was in our service last night….2nd time ever in an Apostolic Pentecostal service..

She called today …. Wanted to know if it would be alright to get baptized in Jesus Name, during Bible Study on Tuesday night.

BIBLE STUDY… WHAT TUESDAY NIGHT BIBLE STUDY ?...?...?

We have a death and BIRTH to celebrate!

I’m not sure what all God has in mind to do with us…..through us… FOR HIM….

I do know ….I’m not up to it…. But ….HE IS!!!!!

PLEASE FORGIVE THE LoooooooG EPISTLE.

I’m just really grateful for all HE has allowed……….me to witness.
