Musings of the Minstrel

BREAKING NEWS! I have just completed my first book "Jars". It title comes from where the Apostle Paul said " we have this treasure in Jars of clay".

I hope it will be a blessing to you.

Hey everybody,

just wanted to remind you that my newest project is AVAILABLE right NOW.

It will also be available at Innovate as well as NO LIMITS.

It will also be available on itunes for all of you that would rather download it. I am excited about this project. Help spread the word.

I am requesting prayer from all of you that believe God still works miracles. There is a little 11 year old girl in our church who has been attacked by an unknown virus or bacteria. The doctors are still not sure what it is yet. She has been on life support for survival. This has been a very devastating thing for this family. Her name is Farah Scott. I am asking for all of you to say a prayer. We are seeing some improvements. She is now becoming coherent. She tried to talk to me yesterday, so these are good signs. Let's bombard the throne of heaven and get Farah home in time for No Limits.

Many of you have been praying for Christopher Lombardo (a 12 year old boy in our church who is battling the terrible effects of Crohn's Disease). He had a tube put in his stomach today that will allow his body to receive the nourishment he needs. He came through the surgery fine and is recovering. It looks like he will be released in 4 or 5 days in time for No Limits. Please continue to pray for Christopher.

Tuesday Night Revival Service

Last night there was a Holy Visitation at TRC. The power of the Holy Ghost fell in a mighty way. From the very start of service there was a sense of expectancy. People came to church last night planning for God to show up and He did. I watched one particular couple, who have been through the valley of the shadow of death and have fought some of the deepest, dark and demonic battles that I have ever heard of, worshipping God. They were smiling and dancing in the presence of the Lord. I began to weep as I watched them celebrating their God even after all they have been through. I couldn't help but say "Take that Devil, you hit them with everything you've got and they are still dancing".

The Spirit of God is our source of strength. If it has been a while since you lost yourself in worship, then reach for His presence today. No matter what you are going through, He is still on the throne and He is willing and able to help you in your time of need.

Draw near to Him while he yet may be found.

It's Revival Time1

Hey everybody! We are just 2 weeks away from NO LIMITS 09. I hope you are making plans to be with us. The dates are March 4-6. I believe that this year is going to be a life changing time for many of us. I was thinking about how much has changed in our world since NO LIMITS last year. I have spoken with many of you who are going through some very difficult circumstances and you are having to deal with issues in you life and ministry that you have never encountered before. I think all of us will agree that 2008 was a difficult year and 2009 is already presenting its challenges. This is one reason that I believe in meetings like NO LIMITS, because it provides the opportunity to not only be encouraged, inspired and strengthened but it also lets us know we are not alone in the fight. There is a deep hunger in the heart of many of us to receive direction from God for how we are to minister in this crazy world. I ask that all of you say a word of prayer for all of those that are going to be preaching this year. Pray that there would be a holy visitation of God's glory and power that will direct us to fulfill His Divine purpose.

Our speakers this year are:

Barry Sutton (Wed Night)

Larry Booker, Guy Godwin (Thursday Day)

BJ Wilmoth,.......some other guy. lol (Thursday Night)

Steve Pixler, Nathaniel Urshan (Friday Day)

Cody Marks (Friday Night)

I hope you can attend the conference, but if not please join us on the web:

My son is driving! I am now assigned to the front passenger seat whenever we are together. Pray for me that God will keep his hand upon me. I went to bed last night thinking about how quickly time goes by. Life is a vapor. I wondered to myself, "How much longer do my son and I have together...like this?" This has been on my mind quite a bit lately, due to the fact that I am attempting to raise 2 teenagers. I know, for some of you this is old news, you have been there and done that, but for me...what can I say? It seems like the days and weeks just fly by...man its only 10 months until Christmas.

Too all of you that have kids still at home, don't get so busy that you fail to spend the good moments with them. Make a mess, break something, fix something, go somewhere, build something, read something...it won't always be like it is right now while the "cats in the cradle"

The new recording project is almost done!  We are shooting for a NO LIMITS release.  I am in Baton Rouge, La. completing the final mix down.  Say a prayer that all goes well.  I believe this is going to be one the best worship projects I have worked with.  For all of you that are looking for new music....this is all usable material.  Ben is going to be introducing some of this project at INNOVATE 09, so that should be a big blessing to you.

One other very important aspect of this project is all of the proceeds are going to go to building a training center for Native Missionaries.  I thank God for all of the wonderful work that Missionaries have done over the years on foreign soil.  The work that these precious people have pioneered can be greatly benefitted by training national ministers to return to their villages and cities equipped and educated.

So to all of you great Godly Missionaries (UPCI, WPF, ALJC, GIB, etc.)  we love you and thank God for your labor.  We are going to do our best to assist you in training these indigenous ministers.

These are exciting time!

So tell you friends about this project.  Let's make a difference in our world.

This is a season of Apostolic Revival.
