Weekend Review

Due to the busy schedule of the weekend activities at the meeting in Ft. Smith, AR I have been unable to update the blog. Yesterday was a travel day home from the services. The old song says what I feel in my heart today, "Surely the presence of the Lord was in the place." The anointing and unction of the Lord was upon each of the services and the Spirit of God touched the lives of many who were in attendance. State Bishop Wayne Pense and his lovely wife, Adana as well as the people of Arkansas and Oklahoma welcomed us with open arms of love and fellowship. Their kindness and fellowship was a great source of blessing and encouragement. It is truly a blessing to be able to spend time with the family of God in times of conversation as well as times of worship. I truly believe that the Lord reminded us that "greater things" can be accomplished in the Kingdom of God if we remain focused on Christ and His call to minister to the needs of people. We have to be willing to accept people at their point of need and point them to the power of Christ. Christ can still impact and change the lives of people; we must be determined to allow Christ the opportunity to do His work among people. There were several people in the Friday night service who received the baptism of the Spirit. Many people came forward for prayer in the Saturday night healing service. I give God praise for all that was accomplished in each of the meetings. GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD AND HE IS WORTHY OF OUR PRAISE! I was both blessed and encouraged by the number of young people who were in the altar seeking after God in the Friday as well as Saturday night services. I truly believe that this does not have to be a "lost generation" of children and youth. The Region of AR/OK is making a strong commitment to reach the children and youth of their communities. This is the day to arise and be about the Father's Business. Let us look to Him and trust in Him with all of our hearts and allow Him to use us in the field of harvest. We must open our eyes and realize that the fields are ripe and ready for harvest (John 4). Are you actively involved in some form of outreach to your family and friends? If not, you need to allow the Spirit to touch your life so that you can realize the importance of reaching people with the message of the Gospel. I desire to tell people about Christ and the difference that He can make in their lives.
