Posted on Saturday 13 June 2009

Today @ 4:10 in the Afternoon, Room 122, (SALEM IL.) I lead one of my GOOD FRIENDS TO THE LORD…

I HAVE BEEN PRAYING FOR HIM FOR OVER 14 YEARS!!!!

Karen and I Greatly Rejoiced Today over the Phone as I shared this with her…

He stayed in my home when Corey was only 2 in Dallas… it was in that year that I began to pray for him…

I almost gave  up… I did not even see IT Coming… But the Lord knew I was to be here this weekend…

Just Lead My Neighbor to the Lord!!

Posted on Wednesday 10 June 2009

Troy Pfeffinger is My NEW NEXT DOOR Neighbor!!

I told Karen over a YEAR ago I was going to LEAD MY NEIGHBOR to the Lord… I started praying and He put His House UP FOR SALE and I thought Lord don’t let HIM get out of here until He COMES to KNOW you…

Low and Behold I looked up in the Early Service, Sunday,  and there He was at the altar praying… His son Ramsey and Seth have become good Buddies…They where out there swimming tonight and before I knew it Troy brought them some cookies…

It started Raining and Troy and I where talking about all that God has been doing in His Life…

Then I asked the BIG QUESTION: “Troy have you EVER GIVEN YOUR LIFE to JESUS?”

I had already sent Seth up to my PRAYER ROOM to get my BIBLE… I Knew He Was READY!!

Minutes Later I was showing Him… Romans 10:9,10 

Then seconds later Troy Bowed His Head and Repeated a Prayer after me INVITING CHRIST into HIS LIFE in MY GARAGE…Right in the Middle of A Rain Storm.. I told Him Later it was Heavens Way of Crying over His Decision…

Now All three of My Neighbors in My Cul-de-sac… Are In Our Church… 

I knew GOD had ordered are steps by us MOVING Here…

Hallelujah to the KING of KINGS and LORD of LORDS…

My Brother In Law, Howard Walker, will give Troy His New BIBLE and Prayer JOURNAL tomorrow… Pray for His Growth…

find a buddy…

Posted on Monday 8 June 2009

Over a two years ago the Spirit of God began to teach me about the WHOLE MAN…

We have a tendency to FOCUS only on what we seem is NECESSARY…

But God DIED for ALL of GENE and HE WANT ME to CARE for ALL of ME…

GENE has…

  • A Spiritual Man
  • A Emotional Man
  • A Financial Man
  • A Relational Man
  • A Physical Man

I need to STEWARD all of GENE… I have RECRUITED Pastor Scott and Brennon Garrett as my TWO workout Buddies…

Pastor Scott snapped this today 

Pastor Gene Running Three Miles… (Headed Home to Eat with My Lovely Wife, She said Dinner is READY)

Might Go COONHUNTIN…

GOD is ON the MOVE!!

Posted on Sunday 7 June 2009

Some Thoughts after Today:

 

  • If You Missed Today, you missed a Visitation from our God… did not see it coming…
  • God Forgive Us for the Dry Eye’s
  • May we Never Study Revelation Again Father, that You do Not REVEAL TO US OUR HEARTS…
  • When John writes about the “Little Scroll”

 

Revelation 10:9-10 ( NLT ) 9So I went to the angel and told him to give me the small scroll. “Yes, take it and eat it,” he said. “It will be sweet as honey in your mouth, but it will turn sour in your stomach!”  10So I took the small scroll from the hand of the angel, and I ate it! It was sweet in my mouth, but when I swallowed it, it turned sour in my stomach.

Biblical prophecy is considered good (sweet) by many people, but the message of judgment is hard to take (bitter)… May We Never Study the WRATH of GOD that IT DOES NOT DO SOMETHING TO OUR HEART ABOUT PEOPLE GOING TO HELL!!!!

  • I KNEW GOD WAS UP TO SOMETHING WHEN KAREN MET ME AT THE ALTAR….
  • I am so proud that God has allowed me to Pastor a Church that does not WANT to PLAY church…
  • Ask God to ALLOW you to Lock onto a Man or Woman that is FAR FROM GOD…
  • GET OFF THE SIDELINE AND HELP US BUILD A LOCAL CHURCH…
  • God is Opening Doors for Us AROUND the WORLD…
  • Join the Church…
  • Get in A Small Group…
  • Start Giving 
  • Start Serving…
  • DON’T MISS FATHER’S DAY IT IS GOING TO ROCK…

Karen and Corey watching NBA Finals…

Seth is Hooking Up New Game…
