Kindred Spirit

Have you ever met someone and felt like you've known them for a long time? I had that experience today with someone I just met. It's interesting how Timothy and Paul had that kind of relationship and Paul makes note of it in Philippians Chapter 2. Check it out from the Amplified

Philippians 2:19,20 Amplified Bible

19But I hope and trust in the Lord Jesus soon to send Timothy to you, so that I may also be encouraged and cheered by learning news of you.
20For I have no one like him [no one of so kindred a spirit] who will be so genuinely interested in your welfare and devoted to your interests.

Timothy picked up the Spirit that was on Paul and caused a kindredness between the two of them. I believe that Timothy took Paul at his word when Paul said, "Follow me as I follow Christ". So often we want a double portion of the anointing but we're not willing to go through the servanthood necessary to receive that anointing. We think, "If I could just get to the meeting where such and such is ministering and he'd lay his hands on me, then I'd get their anointing." I believe there is an element of truth in that but the double portion came upon Elisha because he passionately served the man of God in his life, Elijah. When you have relationships like these they are very precious. I'd encourage you to guard them with all your abilities. Someone that has the same spirit you have can walk with you, help you, receive help from you, and even finish your thoughts for you. Things will move forward in God's kingdom faster when we are all in one mind and one accord. This oneness of thought allows us as God's chosen people to be much more effective to accomplish God's purposes in the Earth.

Work Day at Jubilee Family Church

It's that time of year again. Patricia and I were discussing two work days that are scheduled for May 3rd and May 10th. We want the church to look sharp for Mother's Day. I want to get the foyer and hallways repainted downstairs as well as get some mulch laid around our shrubbery and trees. If you've got something you'd like to contribute in the way of work or ideas I'd be happy to respond to your comments. If everyone gets involved the work will be very manageable and rewarding. Thanks for all your help. It would be great to get our volleyball net put up. Our parking lot also needs to be resurfaced. I've got a bid from a local company but we may be able to do it ourselves and save some money.

The Floods in Independence County Arkansas

I believe that God is ultimately in charge of what happens with the weather and sometimes "natural" events are the work of God. This is definitely demonstrated in the Bible at different times. God used earthquakes, floods, fire, rain, drought etc. and would prophetically speak through his man of God to the people who would use natural events as an illustration. I believe the two floods we've experienced here in Independence county prophetically speak that we're to anticipate a flood of God's presence in our churches.
As I was doing some research on the flood and what various prophetic people were saying about it I came up with nothing. The Lord spoke to me and said, "Why don't you speak about this to the people, so I agreed."
Biblically, Noah's flood came as a result of violence in the Earth. God, as you know, decided to wipe out everyone and everything and start over with mankind through his man Noah. In speaking with people about Katrina and New Orleans many people came to the cleansing conclusion based on the sin that goes on in that city especially during Mardi Gras. Any how, I'm not here to bash New Orleans but I do believe that the two floods we're experiencing here are significant.
In conclusion I believe the floods are speaking to us to get ready for an inflow of God's spirit that will bring in a huge harvest. Prepare for people coming into your church. Prepare for God's spirit to draw them. Prepare for their problems and baby Christian zeal. If we're not ready for them they will be swept away. Throw out a lifeline today!

Synchronizing the Sound

What does it mean to synchronize? To make synchronous in operation. 1: happening, existing, or arising at precisely the same time 2: recurring or operating at exactly the same periods

I saw a program on the discovery channel where scientists in a laboratory used sound waves in synchrony to levitate a ping pong ball. It took them a while to get the sound waves in synchrony but when they finally did the ball actually hung in mid-air! Listen to what happened in the Old Testament when the people shouted and sounded trumpets in synchrony in obedience to the LORD.

Joshua 6:20-21
20 When the trumpets sounded, the people shouted, and at the sound of the trumpet, when the people gave a loud shout, the wall collapsed; so every man charged straight in, and they took the city. 21 They devoted the city to the LORD and destroyed with the sword every living thing in it—men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys.

Churches across the mid-South will be participating with us during our worship time. We're believing that their will be a synchrony in the Spirit with our various church bodies causing spiritual walls to fall thus exposing principalities and powers. This exposure will weaken their influence over the minds of people. Pray specifically against the spirit of witchcraft, greed/poverty, pride and humanism.

We'll see you on Friday night!

Passover Supper

I'm looking forward to the passover supper on Saturday night. Rabbi Cohen is coming in from TX to teach our church the specifics of passover and how it relates to the different things Jesus did in the new testament. Having a clear understanding of the Old Testament from the perspective of an expert in Jewish tradition and history is going to give us a very unique and accurate perspective on the passover. I'm looking forward to it.
