Had a wonderful experience yesterday afternoon I just HAD to blog about...!
Joe Miller (www.prayforpensacola.com ) set up a meeting with David Morgan, our new Sheriff, who oversees over 1100 officers in our county. There were 4 of us in his office for over an hour, talking about his vision, his plans, his faith.
The man is SHARP! He has totally turned the 'good ole boy' system on its head. Here are a few tidbits from our time together:
- Every day, he goes out in the afternoon and literally WALKS the worst neighborhoods. He goes right into the drug 'dens', telling them simply: "ITS OVER. We are going to help you get new careers, get your diploma, but your drug business is done."
- Since he started a few months ago, people come out on their porches and literally CHEER for him as he walks! They have felt helpless for so long, that just the fact someone with authority CARES, regardless that he is Republican! :), means everything to them.
- The man is disciplined. He understands leadership. He is already working to have about 10 possible candidates groomed and ready to run for his position in 8 years, as he is a 'term limits' man and will not run for a 3rd term.
I could go on, but needless to say, I am excited about the men and women God is positioning in our area! He is going to pray at our April 3rd meeting as we close our 40 Days of Prayer campaign. We layed hands on him, spoke FAVOR over him, then left encouraged.
REMINDER: We meet tonight from 5:30 to 6:30 for our Prayer and Communion service at NTF. ONE HOUR OF POWER!!! :) Be there...!
