"Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I will hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel." Philippians 1:27
Pray for our team as we are serving Christ in West Africa and for Amanda (pictured in burgandy) as she is our anchor and prayer warrior at home.

Sunday Services. 9:15 there, 3:15 here. :P
"Don't turn your back on God. Worship and serve Him heart and soul! Don't chase after false gods. There's nothing to them. They can't help you. They're nothing but a lie! God, simply because of who He is, is not going to walk off and leave his people. God took delight in making you into his very own people." 1st Samuel 12:21. This picture is a symbol of what is happening here. Idols are being destroyed and strongholds knocked over. God is at work in a huge way. But with work comes warfare. Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we are up against Satan and his army. However, our God is greater! We had the opportunity to worship with some of the most spirit filled people that I have ever been around. Every time that I took a breath - I felt the Holy Spirit. Every time I sang - it was purely for Him. Everytime I felt Him speak - my heart was lifted. There aren't even words to describe the power, purpose and passion that filled that simple room. No elaborate stage, flashing lights or top notch sound equipment. Just the sound of a group of believers worshipping the One true God. Men, women and children all together worshiping the God that was, is and is to come. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I watched little children dance for their King while singing "How great is our God." The Word was taught in a real and practical way. Prayer was lifted up to our Creator. He was praised and magnified through all that went on at that service. What a blessing that God has bestowed on me and the rest of the team to be around and learn from such awesome m's. We will not return the same, I can promise you that. "Greater things have yet to come, greater things are still to be done in this city!"

Amen! That is absolutely amazing! 1 John 4:1-6 really reminded me of this post. "Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2)This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3) but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.
ReplyDelete4) You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 5) They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. 6) We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood." Love you guys! Never forget that the One within you has overcome this world. He is greater, stronger, and higher and nothing can hinder His plan! Keep serving our King! :)
