My Dead Bones Live

This week I witnessed an army of dry bones live. Youth, staff and church leadership from several churches, cities, states and denominations came together in one mind, one heart, one spirit and one voice to proclaim Christ is Lord over our lives, our families and our communities.

I never imagined that I would see such hunger, brokenness and deliverance take place each night and with ever increasing power and intensity. Those who attended the 2010 Central District Pentecostal Church of God youth camp were met by their Sovereign Lord and Creator, were changed by the POWER of the Holy Spirit, and are released to go do life and Kingdom where ever they find themselves.

I am forever changed by this experience. I came to pour out as I am poured through, and end up being emptied out and refilled. I leave here no longer a pile of dead and dry bones. The Spirit of the Lord has spoken the prophetic Word, and a fresh breath of His anointing has restored life in me. Now I can BREATHE.

As I pack out to drive back to Texas, I am hopeful for my future, my family and this ministry. This generation and the ones to come will be influenced by the ripples produced from this camp. Thank you to all who prayed and agreed with me over this camp. God did DELAY or DISAPPOINT.

Where the Spirit of the Lord is

As I seek clarity for the final service of this camp, I am reflecting on all God has done this week in the lives of these campers and staff. Last night we were in service for 6 hours. That’s right 6 hours.

The Spirit of the Lord moved on the place and we witnessed God heal family relationships, deliver youth and adults from sexual sin, failing marriages, physical abuse, addictions and the bondage of bitterness. No one left who needed healing, deliverance and restoration. I asked a rhetorical question in yesterdays post about how much more of Gods glory can the human body endure. He answered with, as long as they are hungry and thirsty for my glory and righteousness, I WILL FILL THEM.

So I go into tonight’s service with absolutely no human words, intellect or direction. I am only compelled to be hungry and thirsty for more of His glory, in my life and the lives of the youth and staff. I am confident the Holy Spirit will not disappoint and we will be most satisfied as He is MOST GLORIFIED.

Will you agree with me in prayer for tonight? The lives of many of these youth and staff hang in the balance. They have been set free, FREE INDEED, and where the Spirit of the Lord is…THERE IS LIBERTY & FREEDOM.

Back at Camp

I arrived here in Missouri and immediately was filled with excitement, not just at the privilege to be here and reconnect with good friends, but at what I believe God is going to do this week. It been a few years since I was at youth camp, so I came up a day early to acclimate and work through any anxieties before the week started. To “my” surprise, my friends and I picked up where we left off like our last time together was just yesterday instead of years ago.

After some time bringing each other up to speed, I decided to walk the camp as is my custom. I was overwhelmed with joy, wonder and awe. I settled right into camp mode without a moment of hesitation. It is true that whatever God calls you to, He equips and provides for. I sense a stirring like I haven’t sense in a while, and I am very expectant.

I did not sleep well as I hoped, but that’s ok since my mind and spirit dwelled on the week ahead. I was up at 5am, like every Sunday, and began with a cup of coffee and the Word. I went for a 3 mile walk and faithfully the Lord began to speak, and these words kept ringing in my spirit…“Everything that has breath…”

Please pray and agree with me during this week that the hand and voice of God will be upon me, the youth will see and hear Christ, and the power of the Holy Spirit will move in the lives of “everything that has breath” at camp. Amen!
