Book of Isaiah - My Personal Devotion

Prophet Isaiah - www.mylesyoung.comIn 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!

Alabama, Here I Come!

Eva/Cullman Pentecostals - www.mylesyoung.comWell, 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"!

MEXICO UPDATE-THURSDAY after church

Pastor C. Myles Young, Bro Santo, & Dr. Paul Baumeister - www.mylesyoung.com Pastor C. Myles Young, Bro Santo, & Dr. Paul Baumeister

Bro Santo (Holy) receiving the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance - www.mylesyoung.com Bro Santo receiving the Holy Ghost !

We just got out of church on Thursday night. It was a good service. We had several receive the Holy Ghost tonight. Pray for the service tomorrow night following the baptism class we are teaching tomorrow afternoon.

This afternoon we went to eat lunch at the Pastor's home and when we arrived we met a man named "Santo"(Holy in english). He has been attending the church but has never received the Holy Ghost. We found out that he would not be able to be at church tonight because he had to work. He was very disappointed because he thought he might receive the Holy Ghost at the conference. I told him that God could fill him with His Spirit right now, before he had to leave for work. Dr. Baumeister then asked him if he believed what I told him. He responded "Si, Yo creo"(I believe). We finished eating and stood up and the man began to cry....we laid our hands upon him and suddenly he began to speak with other tongues as the Spirit gave the utterance. Before today he had been given the name "Holy/Santo" but today God made him "Holy/Santo" by moving into his heart.

We still have one more day and night in this revival so please approach the throne of God on our behalf.

"Mi Dios puede hacer todo"!

BOSTON'S 16th BIRTHDAY

Boston and Cody Marks - www.mylesyoung.com
Boston & Cody Marks

Boston and (dad)C Myles Young - www.mylesyoung.com
Boss hamming it up!

Happy Birthday Boston - www.mylesyoung.com

It's 1:30 a.m. and I just got through cleaning up after my son's 16th birthday party. I am feeling really old and sappy as I head off to bed. I spent the entire day with my son, just he and I. I asked him what he wanted to do and he said lets head to the mountains and just ride and listen to old time radio stories on the xm channel. It was a day I will always cherish. How many more of these moments will I have with him? As we wound through the Sierra's today, not saying a word for miles at a time, then laughing at funny things on the radio, then debating about the state of our nation during this election season...I wished the day could last forever. I can't believe "The Boss" is 16 years old. It was a day of days for this old dad. I found myself remembering the many trips with just me and my dad....oh, how much they mean to me now. Boston, I am proud to be your dad and I love you with all my heart. By the way, it started raining on your birthday...looks like ski season is going to be good this year.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOSS!

MAN ALIVE - CONFERENCE '08

Man Alive Conference - mylesyoung.com
A Blessing for Pastor Harold Sargent - mylesyoung.com Dean Dominques, C Myles Young, Steve Allard, Jonathan Shoemake - mylesyoung.com
Steve Allard - mylesyoung.comSam Emory - mylesyoung.com
We just got home from another tremendous "Man Alive" Conference in San Jose, Ca. This men's meeting is continuing to grow and is becoming a great source of strength for so many men from Northern California and Nevada. Our speakers this year were e Sam Emory (Merced, Ca), Steve Allard (Modesto, Ca) and Dean Domingues (Sanger, Ca). The common thread that ran throughout each session this year was "The Anointing". All three of these great men of God reminded us that what we need is the anointing of the Holy Ghost in our families, jobs and ministries. The Holy Ghost visited us in a very powerful way following each message. The conference ended with a very deep move of God upon fathers and sons praying for one another and making commitments to carry on this glorious truth and anointing that we have been given. The dates for "Man Alive 09" are Oct 23-24. Mark your calendar now. It is going to be a great time of anointed preaching and fellowship of Godly brethren.

Bells & Whistles

Bells and Whistles - Myles Young BlogOn mother's day I took my wife and mother-in-law to a nice restaurant downtown. We were having a great time enjoying the atmosphere, food and ambiance when suddenly the fire alarm went off and the emergency lights started flashing. It went on for 10 minutes or so, until the fire department showed up. They climbed down from their trucks, dressed to fight a fire. During all the noise people who were passing by started peeking in the windows to see what was going on. There was a great amount of activity and noise, but THERE WAS NO FIRE! It was all just bells & whistles!
Revelation 3:1 gives us the account of God speaking to the church at Sardis. He told them that he knew their works. He said "You have a reputation for being alive, but really you're dead". The church at Sardis had a reputation for life but it was all "bells & whistles". There was a whole lot of activity, noise and even a crowd was coming to see, but there was no fire, no life, no real accomplishment.
God help us to not get so good at "doing church" that it becomes just bells & whistles. Busy with running programs but no life giving spirit in our midst.
Let's get back to what makes the fire fall. Let's not live off a reputation but God help us to walk in the reality of the Holy Ghost.

ITS TIME TO PRAY

Praying Hands - Myles Young Blog
Nothing moves God like prayer! Nothing moves a church like prayer! Nothing moves the world like prayer! For us here at TRC the month of May is a time of prayer and consecration. The entire month we are giving ourselves to extra prayer. We believe that God is going to show up and show off. James 5:16 "...the effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much". Notice it does not say "droning prayer" nor "ritual prayer" but rather "FERVENT PRAYER". The word "fervent" is originally "energeo" from which we get our word "energy". Let our prayers be prayed with energy and not just out of habit. Prayer is not an item off the christian "to do" list, but is to be a conversation with our Creator. The word "availeth" = to wield power. It is on our knees that we can operate in the dimension of spiritual power and athority. So, lets see what God will do if we will "humble ourselves and pray" this month. I invite you to join us throughout the month as we stir up the gift that is with in us.
Please let us know about the things that happen as a result of your prayers.

From The Grand to the Grind

The Grind - Pastor Myles Young BlogWell, my traveling days are over for a while. No Limits, Israel, France, Canada, Branson...all these foreign countries have me worn out. It is good to be home. Back to normal life. Well, as normal as my life ever is. We sometimes say "Back to the grind" with a negative bent, but I am not feeling any negativity right now. It is good to be back doing the daily work that makes the kingdom of God expand. The conferences, the crusades, the world-changing events only exist because of "daily faithfulness". I believe that the hope of the world is the "local church". The daily stuff is not near as fun as all of the high profile things that we want to be a part of. Peter was in one of those "cool" mountain-top events and wanted to stay and build 3 temples to dwell in, but Jesus said "No....lets head back down to where real life is...." This is where real ministry takes place, in the everyday existence of faithful obedience.
If you are frustrated because nothing glorious or invigorating is happening to you, just keep being faithful and the "grand things" have a way of showing up.

NO LIMITS

No Limits 08 - C Myles Young BlogWell, No Limits has come and gone. It was a spectacular time of God's glory and presence. I encourage you if you were unable to attend go to our web-site and watch the archives. God spoke to us in so many ways. "Innovate" was awesome and many of those that registered stayed over for No Limits. It was our biggest year ever. Each night we set attendance records. We are really excited about the future. To those of you that came we hope that you were as blessed to be here as we were blessed that you came.

Thank God for 90 Native Missionaries being sponsored on Thursday night in Uganda, Liberia, Mexico, El Salvador... THE FUTURE IS HERE.

Well, I don't have much time to rest because I leave tonight for Israel. I am so pumped (I have never been). I am going to film GOD QUEST - ISRAEL (should be fun). I don't know if I will have access to a computer while I am gone, if so I will post. If not I will be in touch when I return.

Pray someone through to the Holy Ghost while I am gone. God bless.

Samoa needs a Savior

The beautiful islands of SamoaI was thrilled to be invited to go preach a crusade in Samoa. What an incredible place. The only thing more beautiful than the island was the Samoans themselves. They treated me with love and acceptance and received the word of God gladly. Dr. Baumeister and I had the time of our lives. It was a great crusade and many were filled with the Holy Ghost. I look forward to going back soon. Bro & Sis Blunt have invited me back sometime so I would love for some of you to go with us for another crusade. I am working trying to get on the radio in Samoa (God may be working something out) so keep Samoa in your prayers.
I filmed a "God Quest 2" video while we were there. You will get to see the country as well as some the results of revival breaking out. Just click on The Rock Church link and you can watch the clip. There is a great need in Samoa for property and a building. Maybe God will speak to someone that views the web-site.

It is not too late to hook with "Innovate", just click on the link below. Check it out (turn your volume up, there is a great song playing).

My Sunday Worship

Worship at The Rock Church - Sacramento, CA Well Sunday has come and gone. The choir robes are back in the closet, the sound and lights are turned off, the church is dark and silent and another week has begun. So what did you glean from your worship experience? Did you just go through the routine of church as usual? Did you encounter God today? Did the Spirit give you direction? Did you recognize the call of the Spirit? Or was it just another Sunday where you went to church, sang a few songs, heard a sermon, then went and ate with friends? How many of us really touched heaven on Sunday? What if God was providing something we needed to carry us through the week? How sad would it be to have made all the efforts to go to church but never receive what God had for us. This week make it a priority, next Sunday I am going to touch God and God is going to touch me, then watch how much better your week will be.

Think about the Kingdom

Worship @ The Rock ChurchIn that beautiful passage of scripture we call "The Lord's Prayer" is a very powerful statement not only for praying but for living. "Our Father, which art in the heavens,
Hallowed be thy name... (let your name be made holy...)
Thy kingdom come...(your kingdom be established...)
Thy will be done...(let your will be performed...)
These clauses are not complete thoughts without the closing statement "On earth as it is in heaven". This is a pattern of how we are to live. We are to live on earth in such a way that His name is made holy, so that His kingdom can be established in our lives, in order that we may perform His will just as He has designed it for us. Give this a thought as you go through you day. Is my life representing the holiness of His name? Are my actions helping to establish the kingdom of God on the earth? Am I performing the plan of the Father today?

A Flying Leap

Flying Leap Amish Airlines - The Rock ChurchLately I have received advice from several people concerning my ministry. I have been told that I am trying to be like the Amish and that I am throwing my ministry off the cliff. I am quite sure that their advice was offered in sincere love and concern so I thought this picture was fitting for the occasion. Hope this makes you smile a little. Lets not take ourselves so serious.

Pastor B J Wilmoth goes to Liberia

LiberiaHey everybody my man B J Wilmoth is in Liberia. He is preaching a convention and doing some very exciting investigative work on a whole new open door of ministry in Africa. He is going to be meeting with a key leader of a large church that recently visited TRC. Send some prayer coverage up for him and his crusade team as they minister in Africa. I believe that Africa is ripe for the biggest apostolic revival in the history of the world. This is only the beginning. Bro Wilmoth is going to be checking in with me while he is there and I will be posting the results of what God is up to there in Liberia.

AFRICA FOR JESUS

Priscilla McGruder

Keep Priscilla in your prayers. The doctors reports look grim but somehow I hear someone singing "What once look like a mountains just a hill, from heaven's point of view" and "It aint over till its over". If you have ever been blessed by this singing family then spend a little extra time around the throne for their sake.

Tornado in Tennessee

Please join with me in prayer for Rev Donald & Bridgette Lance. Their church was destroyed last night by the tornado that struck Jackson, Tennessee. He and his family were in the church with 3 other families when the tornado struck. They are ok but he is asking for us to pray that God would give him direction on how to lead his congregation through this devastating time. His faith is high but keep them in your prayers. I believe God is going to use this terrible event to somehow grow his kingdom.

Welcome to my blog

Welcome to my blog. This is a brand new venture for me. I hope that it will be a blessing to you. I look forward to our time together as we explore this wonderful kingdom that God has allowed us to be a part of. I want to hear from you. If there are particular kingdom subjects of interest drop me a line and lets see what we can learn together.


God bless all of you
