Review of the Weekend

Ann and I had the privilege of participating in an awesome weekend of spiritual activity. It started Friday and Saturday at the Golden Eagles Retreat at Camp Nikao in Elizabethtown, KY. We were able to celebrate the presence of God with people from across the state of Kentucky. Many of these who attended the retreat are friends that we have known for years and we also had the opportunity to develop new friendships. Even more exciting than the fellowship with the believers was the fellowship with the Spirit. Friday evening developed into an "old-fashioned" altar call as many of the saints came forward for prayer. The Holy Spirit spoke and reminded us to "put in the sickle and reap the harvest." We must re-commit to being about the "Father's business" which is soul winning and outreach. Saturday was a time of challenge in which the Spirit encouraged us to remember to be an example to those who are following in our footsteps. Sunday found us in Columbia, TN with Pastor Donnie Kelly and the Highland Avenue Church of God. The services were anointed and the altar meetings were very powerful. Many people came forward for prayer as they were trusting God to meet the needs that they are facing. The Columbia Church of God of Prophecy dismissed their evening service and many of the people came to worship with us. It was a great blessing to see the two local churches sharing fellowship with each other and worshiping God together. We give God praise for all that was accomplished this weekend. The Spirit keeps urging me to surrender my life to Him and allow Him to direct my steps. I just desire to be available to the Spirit so that He can use me for His glory. Are you fully surrendering your life to Christ? Are you presenting yourself available to Him?
