...HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD?

I will be forever amazed and awed by the things of God! This past Saturday I attended a conference in Geneva Illinois. Not sure that I should take the time to do so, I did so anyway. The Holy Spirit just kept telling me to "GET THERE! GET THERE! GET THERE!" . I have learned in my walk with Elohim, my beloved, that when instruction is given, especially 3 times, there is no argument. Needless to say, I did wrestle with it momentarily due to the deadline of a conference that is fast approaching and all that needs to be accomplished in a short amount of time. But, GOD had a different plan. God knew that there was other preparation that had precedence over my agenda. Imagine that! HE has been depositing bits and pieces into my spirit by means of visions and words for the last few months. HE has been depositing HIS message for the conference goers and HIS church. HE is ultimately in control, not this writer.

The morning of the conference a women by the name of Paulette began speaking on building the walls. She used scripture based on the "walls being our salvation and the gates our praise". I have had visions of walls being built around a city, unity of the workers etc. . The amazing thing here is God confirms HIS word by three or more witnesses and throughout her message....GOD confirmed what HE was showing me! Those of you who know me, know that Nehemiah is my favorite book of the Bible, so God uses this book many times to show me Kingdom things. Paulette spoke of the workers being placed to the back of the weakest walls....well, I just about came out of my seat! I was on the edge of my seat to be exact! I won't go in to anymore detail, because I want those of you who can, to attend the conference to receive from the Lord, not this writer.

Then, in the afternoon, we were blessed to have Ben and Brenda Peters as our speakers. If you are not familiar with this couple go to www.ohmint.org and visit awhile. Again, GOD confirmed HIS word to me for the church! Brenda was so honest and frank that I received a measure of strength to do HIS work. Now, trust me, I am not so prideful or conceited to think that God did this all just for me....but, HE is speaking through HIS people and using HIS people in this hour and HIS message is very clear! Whether in Mozambique or America, HE is speaking the same thing. HE is sharing HIS heart and HIS concern for us. He is using the nobodys of this world to affect nations! So, HE can use the insignificant nobodys of a city to affect cities. All it takes is a humble heart, clean heart, and clean hands and the will to die to self so that CHRIST can live in and through us! We are co-laborers with one another and with Christ, you know?

In summary, I have been blessed. I will no longer, and can no longer be the person I was before Saturday. I am changed. Forever, changed. Not by might or by power, or by words of man or woman's wisdom, but by HIS spirit. This is the way it should be...this is the way it was and is! To God be all the Glory. But I must give honor where honor is due....to Pastor Teresa Forkins-Phillips and Robert, her husband for organizing the conference and for being the rock she is! To Paulette for the tremendous and annointed teaching gift she is....to the prophetic presbytry for praying and diligently seeking HIM and HIS word for the church and to the Peters for the example they are setting before the Church. What a standard that was raised in that meeting! Also to Dawn and the worship team for taking us to the throneroom of God...and THE DANCE!

In, through and to HIM, forever....
