Ephesians 1:17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, 18 the eyes of your understanding ^F3 being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power 20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. 22 And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, 23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.

(My Prayer) …

Lord, God our Father please let me receive Your Spirit of revelation and wisdom, that I may truly know You and experience Your fullness. God, I humble Myself that I know what You have for me and those connected to me. I do not have the fullness of wisdom that you possess and I ask you to give me your wisdom. Help me know the truths that are hidden from the fleshly heart and can only be found in Your presence and from an impartation that no man can receive apart from Your revelation.

Open my eyes God that I may know all that I place my hope in and all that You have in store for the future. God, let me obtain the power that you have for those who love You, not lacking in any area of devotion with a constant knowledge of Your working in my life. You are a mighty God who is able to do above and beyond what I can ever hope or dream of.

Help me to walk in the power and authority that You have for me today. Please show me Your power and keep me near to Your thrones glory.

1 Cor 1:25-26

We all have our plans and no matter how good those plans are sometimes God has different ones in store for us. God is so much better at making the decisions that it really helps when we hear from Him and take the time to allow Him to guide our choices. God wants to work mightily in each of our lives and in each and every church, so if it is not God’s desire to meet with us powerfully that is the problem, then it must be us getting in the way.

God doesn’t need the best the world has to offer to change our world. He just needs us to have His plan in mind not our own. You do not have to be anything special by worldly or church standards. You just have to be called and then follow.

RFX Sarasota 20- 30’s at Restoration welcome the world to come experience Gods power and mercy upon their lives.

So today much like any other day I went about my business. Well that is not entirely true. Today I was asked to preach at a “church in the park.” I have been a little on edge on because I have felt that this time was going to be something different, but I really wasn’t sure.

The week before my time I started getting these crazy Ideas about people getting healed and having “words of knowledge” for people in the group. So one can imagine I have been filled with anticipation and excitment for the day. At the same time I was thinking what if I got there and I called out the things that I saw and I was wrong.

Thats a fair question right? I mean what If I thought it was a “word of knowledge” and it was really just my imagination and I was just full of crap. That would be terrible embarassing right!? I mean who is going to listen to a bunch of preaching when I start calling out things and they are wrong? I know that I would check out if some one started calling out sickness and other stuff and when he called them out he was wrong. It is hard enough to believe it even if it is on the money, then we have our doubts if the guy speaking new ahead of time ect… But if he is wrong, he may as well just wrap up and leave.

So I hope now you see my inner struggle. I see what is happening in Lakeland, FL. and I see that God is moving there despite what all the naysayers think, I have been there and I saw with my eyes and touched with my hands. I want that stuff in my life. I want to see miracles, I and wonders. But I always think that they are for every one else.

Until today!!

Today I had the experience just like I saw in the dreams. I was preaching and I felt a nudge of info from the Holy Spirit and I called out what I saw. It was right on, then He gave another and I spoke it and it was right. After I preached people came up to me for prayer and I prayed with them. God healed one, he Deliver another from things that were oppressing her and then healed another. It was so Cool. I didn’t feel anything, but I just listened to the Holy Spirit and the people where touched by His power and grace! It was amazing!

So ya, it can happen to me. I have the feeling that this my be the first of many things that rock my world in this area. and you know what, all I did was just obey when He spoke to me. The pressure is off, it is not some mystical thing, it was simple and beautiful to see people touched by a Jesus who loves them.

God bless you

Faith not farce:

I must say that it is amazing that we can get so lost in our own minds. We can Look to Nike so we can just do it, we look to MTV to tell us what it is that we want to do, we look to Starbucks to satisfy us after we have done it, but if we think of looking to God for this stuff we are out cast by those who would rather not have faith but farce.

It seems that it is ok to have a form of religion, but not godliness. it is okay and even political correct to attend some type of church. However if we look at what church was founded on, The Bible, and we start doing what it says we are fanatics. Bible thumpers, forcing religion on people when in fact that is the complete opposite, because doing what the bible says it the opposite of religion. Why?? because religion is the creation of man, but the bible, the inspired word of God is from God.

Wanna see the bible, come to Restoration, or visit the Lakeland revival with Todd Bently and see for your self. God and his power will not be mocked. Sick, confused need so see if God exists? Come find out for your self. IN person.

The real truth is it is not the onlookers, those who are outside the “religious” box that have issues with God moving, it is those who are in the church. It is the people, in the organizations who look at a move of God and destroy it with slander. There are those who instead in faith look to prove it right, they with out fail look to destroy the works because they can’t or don’t understand what is happening

Why? Why do we do this?
