Another Weekend In Maryland

Good morning everyone. I hope you all enjoy this beautiful fall morning.

This coming Saturday and Sunday, I will minister at the Catonsville Assembly of God in Baltimore, Maryland, where my friend, Rev. Tim Baldwin, serves as pastor. On Saturday, I will speak for a ladies event and then to the whole church on Sunday. Please pray that the Lord will touch lives and do a work in the hearts of those who attend.

This week, I am reading through 2 Samuel and the life of David. He sure had his ups and downs. He had mighty military victories and numerous family crisis. But through everything he faced, the Lord was his strength. David's story has often brought comfort to me because it demonstrates that no matter what we face in life, the Lord can be our strength. His strength is made perfect when we are weak.

Blessings to you all.

Weekend in Maryland

Hello everyone. It's been a productive day. I like days like that.

This coming Saturday and Sunday, I will minister at Renewal Christian Center in Landover, Maryland. On Saturday, I will minister at a ladies event and on Sunday to the entire church. Please pray that the Lord will use me to minister to the ladies. Pray that the Holy Spirit will do a wonderful work in people's lives. Oh...and pray that I find where I'm supposed to minister. I'm hoping that the directions that Mapquest gave me are accurate.

Dr. Wood, the new general superintendent of the Assemblies of God, made the following quote:

"There is nothing worse than a dead AG church because we have no liturgy to fall back on if the Spirit doesn’t move."

Those words struck a cord with me. I don't want to be part of a dead church. May the modern day Pentecostal church be full of the power of God and not just liturgy. We need the latter rain of the Holy Spirit and we as God's people must be receptive to the moving of the Spirit in our midst. Deadness....no thanks. Here's to life in the Spirit of God!

Blessings to you all!

Off To Upstate New York

Good morning everyone. I hope that you are enjoying the day we are experiencing.

This coming Friday through Sunday, I will be ministering at First Assembly of God in Little Falls, New York. The Saturday evening service will be held in an outside tent as part of the church's outreach so please pray that souls will be reached for the kingdom of God. Pray that God's power and grace will touch all who attend.

I am reading through the Book of Isaiah. Today I was reading about the people who make idols out of wood. An idol can be anything that we place ahead of the Lord. Although many may not bow their knee to an idol, everyday people bow and worship the false gods of money, pleasure and prestige. May our hearts be wholly yielded to Jesus. May our knee only bow to Him. Great is our God! There is no god like our God!

Have a great day in Jesus!

Still In My Home Area

Good morning everyone. It's a beautiful day...to cut the grass once again.

This coming Sunday, I will be ministering at the Mill City Assembly of God in Dalton, Pennsylvania, where my friends, Pastor Jim and Dorothy Rugg give wonderful leadership to this body of believers. Please pray that the Lord will move in a mighty way. Pray that the power of God would be revealed.

I got my miracle! I had asked you to join in prayer with me and the Lord heard and answered! He is so good! And He hears our heart cry out in desperation. "Weeping may last for the night but joy comes in the morning." Those are true words. Let me encourage you that no matter how great the need, our God is greater!

I've got to run...or should I say push a lawn mower. Have a great day in Jesus.
