THANKSGIVING!
Well it is time for turkey! Can you believe it? This year has flown by (in spite of all the storms of life). Wow, where did time go? For many of us, today is a preparation day (Wed) for the big spread tomorrow. Trips to the grocery store and work in the kitchen. Here at home I am getting ready to make my "Pineapple Cake" and some "strawberry bread" (and what ever else I decide). Tomorrow we will sit down and partake of the bounty that comes from living in this the greatest nation on earth (to quote Michael Medved). I have been privileged to travel around the world and after seeing and going I have come to this one conclusion... WE ARE BLESSED! So while we are partying, laughing and eating let's remember, we could have been born in a place with no hope, no help and no future. Celebrate with family and friends but while the party is going on, tell somebody how thankful to God you are for his favor in your lifeHAPPY THANKSGIVING

ISRAEL TRIP 2010
Have you ever wanted to visit the land of Israel and walk the same paths of Holy Scripture? Well, you can make it happen. Come go with me! My good friend Ron Walls and I are returning to Israel in November 2010. We will be leaving the USA on Nov 2. If you are interested in joining with us call my office 916-689-7625. The contact person is LeSharon. All of you E-group guys (and wives) give us a call and get your name of the list. Pastor Wilmoth and other pastors are going to be joining with us as we take this journey through the pages of the biblical past. There is no better guide than Ron Walls (this will be his 57 trip to Israel).
I promise you, it will impact your life forever. I went 2 years ago and I wish I could go back every year. That how much I enjoyed it.
Don't wait, start the process of planning now. Don't get old and wish you would have gone!

Shalom,
I am happy and grateful, along with uncountable Israelis, that you are coming to Israel and loving her. (Isaiah 66 10).
I would be very happy to present the strategically important city of Maale Adumim and especially its neighborhood in the news E1 to any and all of your visitors.
Maale Adumim is a place mentioned in the Bible before her nearby bigger sister Jerusalem (Joshua 18), a strategic modern location, a bustling city, and a “flower in the desert” – all in one.
As the English Language Spokesman for Maale Adumim, I clarify to participants the history, importance, and everyday life of this town, with a stunning view from the roof of the Municipality building, a short bus tour of scenic points, and a breathtaking opportunity to pray for Jerusalem and Maale Adumim overlooking the Holy City and the in-the-news E1 neighborhood adjacent to the Mount of Olives. Depending on your time constraints and your interests, your visit can run from 10 to 90 minutes.
Questions and Answers for as long as time will allow
Maale Adumim is just five minutes drive from Jerusalem, on the way to the Dead Sea.
Please see http://root-source.com/discussion-topics/ for further topics I can facilitate.
Please be in touch!
Thanks,
Gidon Ariel

Book of Isaiah - My Personal Devotion
In my personal devotion and Bible study I am studying the book of Isaiah. The deeper I have gotten into this book the more sobering it becomes. The first 3 chapters provide the sad account of Jerusalem's moral and spiritual collapse. I guess what is so sobering is to see so many similar trends taking place all around us. The new issues are really not new at all but God's people have struggled with these things since the days of the Isaiah. I know this is not a fun filled post this morning but my heart is stirred. As I drove through the streets of a city with no apostolic church and prayed for the Lord of the Harvest to anoint us to accomplish His will, I couldn't help but think how much of the harvest is being missed because the laborers can't figure out who they are.Instead of work be accomplished in the vineyard...there is fighting at the cottage about how the vineyard should kept.
Maybe tomorrow my latte will stir me to joy and excitement, but today this Pastor's heart is heavy with the reality of where so many are headed.
May God help us all!

Evening of Worship
It's Monday morning and I am sitting in a little indie' coffee house enjoying my sugar-free vanilla, soy latte and reminiscing about last night's "Evening of Worship" at TRC. The place was packed, the music was pumping and there were guest everywhere. Before it was over the Holy Ghost was so thick you could almost cut it with a knife. It was a night of remembrance for all of us here at TRC. When it was all over we hung out in the coffee shop and fellow shipped with choir and guest that had come. There was a family that had never been to our church before who came up and introduced themselves with these huge smiles on their faces. After we exchanged pleasantries they brought their older teen-age daughter over and the dad told me that she had just received the Holy Spirit baptism. I turned to introduce myself to her and as I did I thought, something different was happening here! When she opened her mouth to speak to me, I instantly understood. She was still caught up in the Holy Spirit....She could not speak in English. The family was ecstatic with joy and all the young lady could do was smile and rejoice in tongues. This was 30 minutes after the service had ended. WOW! What a God! There is nothing like a sovereign move of God's presence.
I want to give a big shout out to our Minister of Music - Ben Vandiver. Thanks to you and the music team for a job well done.
Thanks to "VISION" for coming and ever more singing up in TRC! We love Gerry & Genny Mallory and Matt & Tishana Jones"
Also, we were privileged to have Evangelist Barry Claiborn in the house. Thanks for sharing with us..."To be convincing, you must be convinced"
Last but not least, to all TRC....you are the greatest church on this planet....LOVE YALL BUNCHES!

To all my friends in the lovely state of Washington, I am headed your way! Looking forward to being in Spokane on Friday night and Saturday. It is always a privilege to be with Pastor Rick Mayo. If you don't know the Mayo's you are missing out. He is truly an "End-Time Cat" (His famous line from years gone by). We are going to have a Holy Ghost time! Send up a prayer that I can be a blessing to all those that are coming to the youth conference. If you are in the area, then drop by.

Alabama, Here I Come!
Well, It has been a while since I posted anything on my blog. I am sure you have struggled through in my absence! LOL! To all my friends in Alabama, I am headed your way. I am pumped about being a part of the Dedicatory celebration in Cullman, Alabama. Pastor Greg Wilbanks and the Eva/Cullman Pentecostals have recently completed an incredibly, beautiful new sanctuary and I am privileged to be one of the speakers at the dedication. I look forward to seeing all of you that are able to join us. I am thrilled to be headed to "Bama" (that's big coming from an LSU boy!).p.s. I am taking my bow, pray I get a "bama-buck"!

I have cried to this song a few times over the past few months. Having to silently watch as friends made choices I knew they'd someday regret, I bit my tongue and just sang the words to myself. "Hold on to what you know is right." Thank you Pastor for taking a stand regardless of what your friends and peers thought.

Revival in Newport
This weekend I have the extreme privilege of ministering at "The Sanctuary" in Newport, North Carolina. Pastor Ted Erskine and his lovely wife started this church a few years ago and my what a tremendous church this is. Friday night I spoke to all the key leaders and department heads on the subject of "The Consequences of Bad Leadership" and then Saturday morning a spoke to all the worship team as well as service leaders and technical crew about our calling in leading worship. Sunday is going to be a great time in the Holy Ghost as we move toward the Missions Service on Sunday evening. If you are ever in the Newport, Morehead, Havelock area, you owe to yourself to come visit this great church. You will not be disappointed. Thanks to all my friends on the East Coast (I love it over here), you guys are great. There is a great revival on this side of our nation. I am just blessed to be a small part.

God's Goodness
I am sitting at starbucks in the beautiful Sierra Mountains with London (my daughter). This is the last week before school for both my kids so we are enjoying some much needed family time. As I look up at the majestic mountains at "Heavenly" to my right and beautiful Lake Tahoe down below, I can't help but think of how blessed I am. God has blessed me with a wonderful family, a great church and so many great friends and most of all....I have the wonderful gift of the Holy Ghost. London and I drove through the mountains this morning while Boss and Sheila were still in bed.
These are special moments, next week she enters her senior year of High School and Boston starts his freshmen year of college. As He was registering for class my mind went back to what seems like yesterday, to the day my dad took me to the LSU campus to register me for class (gueax tigers). Where has time gone? This life is so fleeting. We are as the "grass that withereth", so while I am here, I want to recognize the moments of blessing that our wonderful God provides. Nothing is much better than sitting here "saved" in Tahoe, drinking a Sugar-free, vanilla, Breve, latte (de-caff) with my Daughter.

SHEPHERDS
Harold Bell Wright wrote the great classic "The Shepherd of The Hills" many years ago and what a story it is. This tale of love, mistakes, bitterness, anger and forgiveness has touched so many people through the years. At the center of the story is Dad Howitt...."the shepherd". If you haven't read it, you owe it to yourself to take the time to read it. While revisiting this story recently, my mind went to the role of shepherds in the scripture.Shepherds are found everywhere in the scripture... I began to think about their significance and what they represent! When one goes down the path of scripture looking for shepherds, one cannot help but notice the sheep. We are the "sheep of His pasture" and we are in need of a shepherd.
The "throw-it-all-away" version of Pentecost doesn't care for shepherds. Oh, they like their blogosphere spiritist , and their "web-celebrity God experts" but an old-fashioned shepherd is not of much value (I don't think goats like shepherds either).
Running with people that do not like shepherds is to associate with quite a list of undesirables. Remember in the OT, where the scripture said that "to the Egyptians ALL shepherds are an abomination"...wow! Think about that a moment!
Do you remember the time that David was about to fight Goliath and Saul wanted him to wear what was "relevant" (lol). Hey, it made sense to Saul....oh, I forgot....he was no longer in proper alignment with God....hmmmm! David said said "I can't wear this stuff" and took it off. Have you ever noticed what David did? The first thing he did was...he picked up his "shepherd's staff". Look again at the old story of David & Goliath...what did Goliath mock? He took one look at this young man coming toward him and said...."Am I a dog to be chased by a staff". Goliath recognized that it was a shepherd coming to confront him. The giants that we are presently confronting are no different than Goliath of old. They still mock the shepherd.
Think on these things while "disposable Pentecost" is mocking the out of touch garb of the shepherd!

PEAK 09 - A Success
Video courtesy of MD Wood
video from e-luminations
Thanks in advanced Bro Jo
PEAK 09 was a smashing success. It is now Tuesday and I am well on my way to recovery. I was totally wiped out when PEAK ended. I would like to say a big thank you to all of you who worked so hard to make it happen. There were so many volunteers who stepped up and "got her done". I want to especially thank Pastor Guy Godwin for all of his help, he did everything from shuttle service, found mechanics, took offerings, loaned pulpits, took care of evangelist. Guy Godwin is a great man. Thanks bro....
All of you who helped lead worship, you were great. Ben Vandiver, as always you did a spectacular job.
I should not begin to name names for fear of forgetting so thank you to everyone.
Bro Pullen, thank you so much for all your help.
Bro Switzer, thank you sir!
Bro Stringfellow, thanks for preaching. You did a great job. "Let's Get It Right This Time"
Bro Morton, what a timely message.
Youth Council, thanks for your work, passion and friendship.
God bless
PS. I am in Branson, (time to recover)

PEAK 09 - Wed Night
Well I just got back to the room after the first night of PEAK 09. It was an incredible night. The young people started worshipping God on their own 30 minutes before service ever began. By the time the service started there was already a tremendous move of God's presence in the arena. Bro Stringfellow did an incredible job of preaching to young people about "Getting it Right This Time". What a great start. It is going to blow up!
We had over 3,500 in attendance . It was rockin tonight.
If you are in the area, come join us...

Lessons from an old Man
Pastor Young and PaPa KingLast night was one of those nights to remember. I ministered yesterday at Truth Church in Calgary, Alberta Canada singing at the annual Stampede Sunday Concert. Following the event I was invited to the King home where Pastor King gave Ruth's Chris a run for her money from his back porch grill. We laughed and went down memory lane with Mark and Matt. PaPa King (Johnny Kings dad) and Pastor King told stories of I.H. Terry while "Nan", Star and Kelsey were taking care of 'Vinnie'. Moments like that are special but there was one moment that will forever be stamped upon my memory....
Following the meal, I logged onto TRC's website to check in on services at home. Mark and I began to watch Bishop Wilson preach His classic sermon "The Cows". Before long, Pastor King and PaPa King had pulled up a chair and the 4 of us were soon in the flow of the message. As Bishop Wilson began to preach about Samuel's mother being separated from her son because of the will/call of God...the weight of the sermon was almost tangible in the room where we were sitting. I turned to PaPa King and asked "What was it like for you when Johnny and Judy left it all and came up to Canada?"
I will forever remember the look in his tear-filled eyes...he uttered 3 short words..."IT WAS ROUGH"
Oh, the feeling after all these years of an 81 year old father still remembering the burden of a son surrendering to the will of God. PaPa King your eyes and words spoke volumes to me. How proud you must be now to walk into a packed-out church built from the efforts of that Son that cast out into the deep of God's will. How proud you looked as you held your first great grand-child. I watched the smile on your face as you watched your grandson (Mark) minister on the stage that was built by the burden of your Son....
I learned a lot on this trip to Calgary...and it was taught by an old man from Bakersfield.
God bless "PaPa" King!

Sarah, You Are Beautiful! - Nathaniel Urshan III
Here I am sitting in a hotel room in Calgary so I'm checking email and responding when I decided to google "apostolic preaching". My search led me to Nathaniel Urshan III preaching at NO LIMITS earlier this year. As I started listening, my hotel was bathed in the sweet presence of God. My heart was pounding in my chest as Pastor Urshan told of Old Testament Sarah and her beauty. He skillfully made the connection to this apostolic message that has been given to us and I was overcome with thankfulness for such a clear message from my dear friend.In this day of relevancy and emerging trends, the sound of a truly apostolic message is so refreshing. Pastor Urshan thank you for painting the picture so beautifully. Truth is gorgeous. What a timeless, transcendent message from a great man. If you were not there then you owe to yourself to listen to this message.

Calgary - One of my favorite places
To all my friends on the northern border, I am coming to Canada this weekend. I am excited about heading back to one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Calgary, Alberta. The only thing more beautiful than the Rockies in the distance beyond the Calgary skyline is the King family and Truth Church. The Kings are my extended family and I am looking forward to laughing talking and being touched by their incredible ministry. I am pumped to get to see the newest member of the family. Mark & Star, can't wait to see ya. Pastor King I can't wait to see you in a pair of cowboy boots...! "Nan"...you are now a grandma'...wow!
Truth Church, you are a special bunch of people and I am looking forward to ministering in song and word this weekend?
P.S. Somebody tell Joey Tomatoes I am on my way!

Happy 4th
Happy 4th of July to everyone. Thank God for the liberty that we have here in the United States of America. Over the last year over 70 different nations have been represented by visitors to my blog. Many of the visitors have been from countries that do not have the freedom and liberty that we are blessed to have here in the USA. On this 4th of July I am not only saying prayers of thanksgiving but I am also offering up petitions to all of you that are living under oppressive governments. Lets agree together in prayer for the nations that the gospel of Jesus Christ would penetrate the bondage and bring freedom for lost souls. Many of you have come to this blog from Muslim countries. I am praying for you. There is a great revival of Christianity taking place in your part of the world. Keep crying out to God. His name is Jesus Christ. I am reading many new reports of Muslim people who are having dreams and vision of Jesus Christ. Reach out for him, he is as close as the mention of his name.Repent of your sins, be baptized in water in the name of Jesus Christ and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
You can have eternal life. God loves you unconditionally! You can receive his love now , on this earth.
I am praying for all of you that are trying to find truth. Truth has a name = Jesus.
This is the freedom that goes beyond the boundaries of nations. The bondage of men cannot stifle the freedom of the soul!
Happy 4th of July!

Earning Respect
I am sure by now many of you have read or at least heard about another embarrassing moment by one of California's senators. A particular military officer was being interviewed by a committee and was asked a question by a certain female senator. The officer responded and in the course of speaking he respectfully called her "Ma'am". Barbara Boxer interrupted him and demanded that he refer to her as "Senator" instead of Ma'am because she had earned the right to the title. While I was trying to figure out how she earned the title (she was elected) my mind began to think about truly earning respect. I am sure that "Senator" Boxer was trying to gain the upper hand in somewhat of a heated exchange and was trying to establish a level playing field. It must be a little intimidating sitting across from this big strong, effective, experienced and well decorated man in uniform on national television. So I am sure she was using some type of strategic debate verbiage to rattle him but her attempt fell flat and only resulted in making her look even smaller and more intimidated.
Respect cannot be demaded....it must be earned. I have listened lately to many "johnny-come-lately's" who are shouting their revelations, wisdom and answers from blog-land. It is interesting to me that most all of their revelations have to do with deconstructing the faith of their fathers. They seem to be attempting to establish some new something (who really knows) upon the heaps of ruin (destroyed by their own hands) while demanding the attention and respect of the rest of us. Is it just me or is anyone else a little confused by their pomposity with so little accomplishment? As we used to hear growing up "there is no corn in the crib".
Leadership is about respect but it cannot be demanded it must be earned. Sure, if you have an office or position or badge etc. you may can force your agendas on people for a season but somewhere things are going to begin to break down. People look for leaders whose lives have produced greatness.
Just some musings from the minstrel this morning as I thought about the craziness of the world we live in. Try and earn some respect before pontificating your greatness upon the rest of us.
(I think I need a latte....maybe it will make me a calmer and gentler soul this morning)

"What A Friend We Have In Jesus"
Pastor Crawford, myself & Pastor Budgell
Scriven's little house
Beautiful "Rice" lake
Joseph Scriven was young Irish student who settled in Ontario Canada around 1849. He became the tutor to the family of a retired British Naval Officer named Pengelly. He lived in the little house over looking "Rice Lake". He fell in love with Pengelly's daughter and they were engaged to be married. The day before their wedding, she drowned in "Rice Lake". With his heart broken he penned the words to a poem and mailed it to his mother. It was entitled "Pray Without Ceasing". As the years went by the poem was set to music and given a new title "What a friend We Have in Jesus".
As I looked at the graves of Joseph Scriven and his sweetheart and gazing down the hill to "Rice Lake", I could not help but think, "blessings come from the strangest places"! This little place is out in the middle of nowhere. This was just a common man who experienced a gut-wrenching heart-ache. Here I was standing at his grave over a 100 years later and singing the poem that he had written so long ago. This song has become one of the most sung songs around the world. In China over 23 million people sing it every year. Scriven could never have imagined that his struggle would produce such a song of blessing for so many.
You may be going through a hard time right now and you feel like everything has gone crazy. You may not write a great song but I can tell you that out of your struggle can come great blessing as time goes by. I have thought about my own life over the last few days and remembered how God carried my through some very trying times. As time has gone by the difficulties that I had to face have become a source of faith, because I know that if God brought me through that situation then he will carry me through whatever I face today.
Keep your head up! You may have tears running down your cheeks but look to the hills from whence cometh your help. Your gonna make it.
Who knows, you may write the next great hymn!
p.s. Thanks to Pastor Crawford for taking me to Scriven's grave.

Boss's Big Day!
I had no idea how emotional I would be when I watched my son walk down the aisle of Memorial Auditorium last week. Standing an inch taller than me in his blue robe with that silly grin on his face, he brought tears to my eyes. It is hard to believe that Boston is now graduated from High School. I watched with bitter sweet emotions as his mother helped him sign up for his first college classes. It seemed like only yesterday I could hold him in my arms and rock him to sleep. I am sure he will think this is totally uncool if he happens to read this...but what kid goes to their old man's blog anyway! lol ...
I have to say that I am proud of him. He applied himself and finished a year early. It was a tough up hill battle for him but he did it and so I am a very proud father today. I want to follow the example of my heavenly Father and say..."this is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased".
Fathers, are you encouraging your children. There will be enough times that you have to rebuke, correct or advise your children so take advantage of the times that they accomplish to speak honor to them. The Father spoke from heaven at the baptism of Jesus. Before he began his earthly ministry he needed to hear the support from the Father.
We only have one life, and just a few short years with sons and daughters in the home before they launch out into the wild blue yonder, so, love em' while you can. Let them hear how proud of them you are. Sure they don't do everything right....but....uhhh....NEITHER DO WE! So grab that son in a bear hug and say I love you and I am proud to be your dad.
Boston, I love you and I will always be there for you.
Congratulations!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY
19 years ago, yesterday, I married the most beautiful woman on planet earth. Sheila, I love you with all my heart and I am looking forward to the next 20+! You are still my best friend and my help-meet. I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART!

On January 4 we started revival here at TRC with evangelist Cody Marks. It has been a tremendous spiritual journey for all of us. Close to 200 people have received the Holy Ghost and over 120 have been baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. The Marks family are great people and we are so thankful for their ministry over the last 5 months. I personally believe that we will look back in years to come come at this revival as a landmark time for TRC. We will be praying for the Marks family as they continue to bless the body of Christ throughout the United States and beyond.
Oh, by the way....we will still get to see them on a regular basis! They bought a beautiful new home here in Elk Grove. Cody, Amanda, Caden, Kye, Addy we love you sooo much!
And we didn't even have to say good-bye!
Isn't God great!

Hey everybody! It has been a crazy last few weeks of ministry, life, graduations and travel. Maybe as summer hits life will resemble some form of normalcy. One of the things we have been working on here at TRC is our website. Today we launched a shiny new website. If you have never stopped by 'therockchurch.org' or if it has been a while then take a moment and click in. We have developed a whole new team of web-site ministry so stay in touch for new things in the future. I am excited! TRC loves you and wants to do everything we can to "help you become".

E Group Gathering
It has been a little while since I have posted. It has been crazy lately but God is good. I am on my way to Texarkana, Tx. for the "E Group Gathering". This meeting is being hosted by my good friend pastor Jason Calhoun. B J Wilmoth and I are very excited to take the "E Group" to Texas. At our initial meeting in Redlands last year there was such a great response from Texas that Pastor Calhoun presented us with the opportunity to bring "E Group" to his church. The speakers joining us in Texarkana are Steve Pixler and Guy Godwin. Say a prayer for our gathering that God would visit these young men and empower us to equip them for ministry.
