Resting up

Friday, June 27th, 2008

Well for those of you who have been wondering where I have been it has been resting up and recovering from Conf. 1. The conf was far and above all we could have asked for and I just believe that conf. 2 will be even better somehow. I guess you don’t realize how much energy it takes out of you to put on a conference like the 220 conf but after it is over you find yourself exhausted for days. I think I took 4 naps on Sat!
This week has been a good week of relaxing and getting back up to 100 percent. God’s Spirit moved mightily last night at 220 leadership as the glory of God fell for about 2 hours. Very weighty anointing! It is always my favorite meeting to do in getting together with my leadership and pursuing new depths of God’s awesome presence.
Tom. night I will be preaching at South for dad and then Sunday continuing my series on Singles in the House for the North Campus. God is good and His strength is operating in my body! hallelujah!!!

220 Conf #1

Monday, June 16th, 2008

Update: Night services streaming Live!

Please be in prayer for me and the leadership team of 220 as we prepare to host our annual national youth conf. As last year, we are holding 2 conf. in both June and July to accommodate the crowds. Conf. 1 begins tom. night (Tues.) and goes through Thur. night. My good friend Judah Smith will be here ministering with me and I am pumped at what God is going to do. I feel a whole new wave coming this year. Watch out all who are coming and shame on you all that are missing this explosion of God’s divine favor and strategy for youth ministry.

The set and lights will be like no other we have ever had. Jonathan has written some incredible new songs and the Holy Spirit has equipped me with a fresh Word and sound for this year. I can’t wait to preach a word that has been stirring in my spirit entitled “prophetic generation” from the book of 1 Sam.

The unique thing about conf. 1 is that we hold our 220i graduation and commissioning on the last night. Laying on of hands, prophecy, and anointing will go forth as we set loose another batch of seasoned, harvest-minded warriors. I am very proud of this years group and feel they will do great exploits for God. If you can possibly make it at all to this incredible conf. you should come.

The theme of this year’s conf. is the hurricane. God is raising up 220 like a hurricane from the gulf to destroy the kingdom of darkness and leave strongholds of the enemy devastated in our wake, never to be rebuilt. Come experience the hurricane!

Ps. In the mornings will be teaching and river flow. Calling all hippos!

Also, if you can’t make it, go to 220tv.com to view the live stream of the night services.

Prophetic what?

Monday, June 16th, 2008

It started out to be a stream but this last Sat. prophetic explosion is now more like a river. The Spirit of God was there from the first note as 300+ packed into the Reception Hall at Bethany North. What a fulfilling feeling to see what God has done so quickly in the rebirth of training people in the prophetic. When the Lord said to me in Dec. that He was moving me back into the prophetic I had no idea that the hunger for intimate prayer and worship was so great. People are hungry for more and the Spirit of God is ready to oblige!
This truly is an encouraging sign for me to see how the members of Bethany and churches all over the region have responded. The power of what God is doing and will do with this many hungry people is immeasurable and signals to me that revival is near in our state. When people begin to call on the name of the Lord and listen to the voice of the Lord there can be nothing but good to follow. Oh how my heart soars to be a small part of what God is doing in our nation and in the earth!

Prophetic Stream

Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

I am really excited about this Sat. prophetic stream. We will begin at 10 and go till 12. We have special guest Kent Henry with us and he brings such a unique prophetic gift to the table. Worship, teaching, and who knows what else will be going on in the house of God! I’m pumped!

The Lord has given me a teaching on the prophetic song that already has my spirit buzzin. It is funny how the Lord just shifted me back into this passion of mine that was laid down, in a sense, for 5 years. The prophetic is a joy and passion for me that just keeps getting stronger as I get older. Apostolic\prophetic ministry is my destiny and it just amazes me how much it is in my blood and comes so easily by the Spirit. For once, something easy! I pray that all would understand and see fruit in their God-given gifts for the edification of the Body and the building of God’s incredible Kingdom.

Ps. You are all invited! Kent and I will both be ministering.
