June 6

The Word Is: BLESSED!

So what was it that took place on Sunday? That would be GOD being GOD WITH US is a HUGE way. For those of you in attendance - I never want to forget His electrifying presence and life-changing power. For those of you that missed it - we're not done because GOD is not done with us! His presence IS an amazing blessing.

Then it got even better (if you stayed all the way to the end!). As many lingered at the altar, the presence of God worked through many of the people. Words of knowledge; messages in tongues and interpretation of those messages; words of exhortation and words of knowledge came by the Holy Spirit through yielded human vessels. They all had one, resounding theme: BLESSING. To loosely paraphrase (many thanks to Gerry Sachs who acted as "scribe", dutifully writing as fast and furiously as an engineer can write in longhand):

"There is a time of much blessing; walk in the blessings as you walk in faith. Stand firm and plant your faith in His Word. Your past is forgiven.

"God will work with us where we if we will use the little faith we have. You are blessed.

"Bring light to your world with power, love and strength. We have power through Jesus to declare the truth and the good news. He has only good things for us.

"Sin has clouded the things of this world. Look above. See Me as your Father, your Husband and love Me as I love you. Build this collection of stones as a marker in your spiritual life."

A great day with our Great God. Press in. Get close. Be real. Be vulnerable. Be here. Be blessed in Him. Love you.
