The Lord Showed up

As I write, it is about 20 minutes after midnight (Sunday Night/Monday Morning) and though physically tired, I had to share with you about today's services.
This morning, Debra and I were at the Peerless Road Church, where I preached in the AM service. The choir did a magnificent job of leading us into worhip, and at the conclusion of the message, the Lord showed up in a special way.
What a wonderful refreshing we experienced as the Spirit of the Lord moved on people in the altar service, and as many danced in the Presence of the Lord. Thank God for His wonderful presence.
We left Cleveland in the afternoon, and visited with an old friend who is in desperate physical need (a man we pastored years ago). We prayed with him before leaving and left being thankful for the grace of the Lord.
This evening, we gathered for our District Leadership Meeting in the plateau region. Dr. Freddie Harding did an excellent job moderating, and the worship was again powerful. There were so many people at the Pine Grove church for the meeting (well above 300) that chairs had to be set out in the aisles, and at one point the pastors in the area had to move to the choir loft with the musicians to make room! God is Good!
We are so blessed to minister to the wonderful people of Tennessee, and we sense a stirring in the hearts of God's people.
Tomorrow morning, I will be attending the First Assembly Anniversary Service at the First Assembly House, followed by lunch at the Fields of the Wood near Murphy, North Carolina.
Again, though physically worn out, the something still turning on the inside that I recognize as the Presence of God. God bless is our prayer.

Come Down From That Ivory Tower

Hebrews 11 has become known as the "Hall of Faith." The reason is quite simple. The writer spends a great deal of time giving a role call of the heroes of the faith. After all, this chapter is about faith, and what better way to teach faith than to illustrate with some real-life examples. Mos of the people in this chapter are well-known, at least by anyone who spent time squirming in a Sunday School class as a small child, or who watched the late-night movies on the local channels featuring their stories. Who were they? Abel, Enoch and Noah. Abel pleased God with his excellent offering, Enoch was so close to God that he actually walked with God to the point that one evening, while walking God said to Enoch, "we are closer to my house than we are yours, so why don't you just go home with me?" Of course, Noah built an ark (according to God's instructions) that saved mankind from total destruction. Then there was Abraham...the father of the faithful. He...

Prayer Request

Yesterday and today have been filled with non-stop preparations and meetings for the General Assembly. The State/National Overseers will be traveling to begin meeting this week in Nashville. Will you please join me in prayer for travel mercies for all of those on their way to Nashville? Also, Sister Wilma Massengale is still in Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville.
