The funny thing about this worship set is that it is during this time that the most dramatic breakthroughs happen in people’s lives.

In any event, I decided to be less lazy this week and post part of the prophetic song from this week.  enjoy

This Sunday I can promise you that we will be talking about what YOU are interested in because I am going to be taking YOUR questions! I have heard for years that people feel like pastors never speak on tough issues or never fully address the concerns people have…well – this is your chance.

I will give my best shot @ answering your deepest, funniest, craziest, most serious questions about anything related to God, the Bible, Christianity, the Church, or anything in between. Submit your question by clicking the link below (your name is optional) and I will attempt to answer as many of these as possible in both services on Sunday. Ask anything. Don’t worry, I can take it.

• We started a new series on Forefathers this week.  I have been really looking forward to it.
• None of these folks were perfect.  But we can learn significant things from them.
• Talked about Charles Finney.  This man was the real deal.  He had a huge impact on my early Christianity and my current ministry.
• If you have not read it, get his autobiography.
• Had an altar call for revivalists.
• Bunch of folks got saved.
• Lookin forward to Mission Kids splitting into two classes.  This is gonna be a great blessing to the older kids.
• Next week we are going to talk about another revivalist.
• This was the last week of ASD.  To end it all the joy of the Lord fell in the room and folks were out for a couple hours.  Wild.
• Next week bring a friend.

Excited about our Forefather’s message series tomorrow.  First up, Charles Finney.

If you know any unsaved folks you need to bring them tomorrow.

• WooHoo!  Two weeks we had a worship service, last week we had David Copeland.  This week I got the mic!
• Mother’s Day at The Mission is different than other churches.  We have lots of young people and they will often go to their mother’s church for mother’s day.
• There was a real chill vibe in service yesterday.
• Preached on the prophet’s reward.
• Hope I blew some people’s mind on kingdom promotion.
• Since we had a few less people in service I decided we were going to have prophetic ministry.  So many people came forward for ministry I had to commission another team.
• Here’s the funny part.  As soon as I went to minister I realized I did not have a single prophetic word! I almost had to laugh.  Then the thought came to me (from the Holy Ghost) to just lay hands on people and they would receive visions.  So I did that.
• Every person except for two received a vision.  Most were really in depth and detailed.
• Half the folks I ministered to had a vision of clouds, trees and flowers.
• Podcast is up.
• Had a great time at Bethel Church in Redding.  But I am glad to be home.

The trip here was good but mostly boring.  We flew out of FLL at 8:30, and into Sacramento by way of DFW.  There is nothing on the north side of Sacramento’s airport.  I qualify that by direction because I have to believe that the capital of California has to have buldings in it somewhere.  But I assure you they are not on the north side.

we did the two and a half hour drive in slightly less than that

The highly recommended Oxford suites should not be so highly recommended.  This would probably be the nicest hotel you had ever stayed in if you never spent the night indoors before.

On to Bethel:

It is far bigger than you might think.  The building is big and it is packed.  We got here at 7 which is right on time unless you wanted a decent seat.  The added another row right by the entrance and we got the last seats on the row.  We did not care that much because we had been going at it for 17 hours by that time.  We decided to go up to the stage for worship.  Brian Johnson was leading.  Right at the end of the first song Bill Johnson went on stage and spoke to Chris Quilala then announced that Chris’ wife was going into labor.  He left and another drummer appeared and worship continued.

Worship was good.  Worshiping with a thousand other pastors is different.

Near the end of worship Bill Johnson went on stage and spoke a few minutes about hope.  Then he had us pray for the people near us.  While I was doing that he came off stage.  I did not know this at the time.  I looked over at Tracey and he was praying for her and she was gettin it.

Then I saw him motion toward me and the next thing I knew, the guy I was praying for and I were being catapulted through the air.  About 5 minutes later the guy said, “That felt like we got hit by a truck”

Danny Silk got up and spoke about Apostles are spiritual fathers.  It was like he got David Copeland’s notes from last night and preached part 2.

We dipped out a little early because I still feel the plane moving and we were sitting in chairs.

Keep us in prayer as we continue.
