- Had a big party at our house Friday night for the Middle/Senior Highs.......man, kids were ALL OVER THE PLACE! Brittany did a great job putting it together. I helped out by blowing tons of balloons then went to Barnes and Nobles and relaxed with a cup of coffee and a stack of books.
With a guest speaker in this weekend, I had a RARE Saturday off. Gorgeous day.......I did nothing. :( I guess sometimes nothing is a good thing???
David Huskey did a great job at both the Rave and the Harvest @ 5 services. One thing he said about "forgiving in the Presence of Christ" really spoke to me. There is a grace that comes from being in the Lord's presence that you don't have apart from it concerning forgiveness.
I also think he is right about forgiveness and healing. Being on the stage Sunday night, I could see some very authentic healings taking place in people I know well. We are committed to having outside ministries come in 3 times a year to "cross-pollinate" and give our folks a taste of the wide variety of 'flavors' in the Body of Christ. I think it keeps things healthy and balanced.
Great crowd Sunday AM, but man, was it PACKED Sunday night!! I love a packed room, as the energy is always way up there!
We finish up tonight (Monday) starting at 6:30. I am expectant.....Would love your input or testimonys. We have a few from last night being shared tonight. Anything from Sunday speak to you?
Hope to see you there!
Loved Monday night! Not just David but the whole place seemed annointed. I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit as soon as I hit the front door last night! Amazing! Good stuff Bobby! It was powerful.

My dad came Sunday night. We cast off the burden of our past - what I'd done to him and what he'd done to me - through prayer with my overseers, the Ongalos. Tension between us, like a long standing brick wall, began to crumble that night. Last night I forgave someone in my family of a $3,000 debt that I was holding over them in like an 'invisible cloud.' Invisible because both of us felt the storm brewing without an idea from where it was coming.
Personal Highlights:
John 21:18-23 (Josh's abbreviation)
"What about him?"
"What is that to you? You follow me."
Each shall give their own account to God.
Overcome evil with good. Commit to the one who judges righteously.
Enduring - walking it out God's way; the Devil will offer an easy way out, a quick fix. But it doesn't work to blame the Devil, because greater is he who is in us than he who is in the world.
We can chose to forgive - and our emotions may take time to catch up.

Pastor Bobby,
David Huskey's teaching was so annointed. To listen to his understanding of scripture was amazing! In listenning you know only by the Holy Spirt is this man so annointed. It was such a blessing to interact with such a great teacher!
