Homeschool Update

Hello!  The other night I was looking at school stuff in anticipation of the new school year starting in a few weeks and I realized that I never posted Audrey's final report card from last year so here it is.  Year one of homeschool was a HUGE success!  Paul and I are very proud of our two kiddos!

.

	~ The 3rd Story Academy ~
	Student Name:	Audrey Simmerman		Age:	6 years 3 mo
	Session:	Four (Days 136-180) - 2014		Grade:	Kindergarten
	Date:	June 2-6
	Reading	Every night Audrey pulls out her Bible and reads a few pages out of it to me.  This was her idea and she is very persistent with it and willing to sound words out.  I notice that Audrey gets very frustrated with herself when she can't sound out a word in the "teach your child to read" book and she does not want to continue with the lesson.  Audrey loves to be read to, and she has a great attention span.  I am able to read longer books with plots and Audrey can tell me what the story was about as well as her favorite parts of the story.  Audrey is getting much better at writing and she will come out with papers where she has written things herself by sounding them out.  When Audrey takes the initiative to read or to write she does extremely well.  We will continue to work on her learning new things successfully.
	Math	Audrey continues to do very well in math with case scenarios in her head.  She is able to write her numbers well.  She can count to 100 and by 10s and 5s.  She bakes well with measurements.  She knows days of the week, seasons, months of the year…
	Bible	Audrey is very knowledgeable about the Bible.  She loves reading Bible stories.  She is a worship artist.  She spontaneously prays for people all of the time.  She drew a picture for someone's healing and has prayed for multiple people that have been healed.  She is a spirit filled young lady.
	History/Books	Audrey loves to be read to.  Her favorite books are fairytales about princesses.  She has amazing story recall, even months after the fact.
	Life Skills	Audrey successfully and consistently completes the following Habit Training Sets:  Habit Training Set #1: Set Table, Clean up Table, Brush Teeth, Get dressed, Clean room, make bed is done every day at this point.  Habit Training Set #2:  On coming in, shoes go in the slot and jacket gets hung up.  Clothes in hamper at night and clean room.  Habit Training Set #3:  Put out all vitamins for the whole family, fill and empty dishwasher.
	Science/Geography	Audrey is very explorative outdoors.  We started a garden and she can name all of the plants that we have planted from seeds.  She waters the plants and weeds and she loves the plants.
	PE/Arts	Audrey rides her bike without training wheels and is very brave.  She loves to climb trees and play in her playhouse.  Audrey loves to color and draw and paint and she does it very well.  She loves to swim.

21June2014 - The Need for Jesus

How you doin?  It's something to see the tremendous need for Jesus.  When we look around we can see  an uncountable amount of needs.  Sickness, disease, sin, fear, religion, unbelief, human tradition, financial insecurity, addiction (to more then just drugs and alcohol), and much more.  Stacey and I find ourselves praying some specific prayers, but mostly general prayers due to the massive amount of prayer request we receive during our time in the morning.  Throughout the day we pray for individual people.  A lot of time our prayers are for heaven's rain to fall on the earth.  For the glory of the Lord to rain down and cover us. 

As I was reading Job 23 today, I felt overwhelming gratitude for Jesus and the ongoing process of walking out my identity/destiny in Him and the new covenant that he established for me/us.  Verses 8-12,
“Behold, I go forward but He is not there,
And backward, but I cannot perceive Him;
⁹ When He acts on the left, I cannot behold Him;
He turns on the right, I cannot see Him.
¹⁰ “But He knows the ^[e]way I take;
When He has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
¹¹ “My foot has held fast to His path;
I have kept His way and not turned aside.
¹² “I have not departed from the command of His lips;
I have treasured the words of His mouth ^[f]more than my ^[g]necessary food.

Job's afflictions, which are from the devil, are causing him to respond to God poorly throughout this entire book.  Job doesn't have the benefit of the Bride Groom's pursuit.  Job is searching for God based on his level of understanding.  He doesn't have the Counselor teaching him and reminding him of the things Jesus said and did.  I/we are certainly not exempt from falling into this trap.  That's why I feel such gratitude toward Jesus and the Holy Ghost this morning.  It's Jesus' acts on the cross that made it possible for me/us to receive God's glory through His Holy Spirit.  The very same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in me/you.  I wonder how Job's story would read if the Holy Ghost lived in him.  What a gift we have to live in such a great age of spirituality.  I love and am very thankful for knowing that I need Jesus like I need air.  Understanding that I need Jesus in this way makes it possible for me to yield myself to Him.  COME ON!!!!!!!  A yielded heart is a mold-able or shape-able heart.  A transformable heart.  WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!!  Tell Jesus how much you need Him today.

PS  I left about 2 pages worth of stuff out of this email.  The Holy Ghost is again pouring out into me and our home.  AWESOME!!!!!!!  I keep thinking of the importance of keeping our feet on the right path.  Verses 10-12 pretty much wrecked me this morning.  When I don't understand why things occur in life it makes stay the path even more.  I keep thinking of the song by Petra that asks "When will the world see that we need Jesus".  That's not condemnation... I'm in the world as well.  Praise God that when I/we can't see God due to life's circumstances that "He knows the way I take".

20June2014- I'm Back!

How you doin?  I had a tremendous time with God.  He's really AWESOME!!!!!!!  I don't think the training is ever over, but for now I made it through this session.  I don't know if sharing what happen is a good idea or not, but I will say that the Holy Ghost changed my perspective.  That's what He does.  He changes me/us.

Stacey and I had a wonderful experience last night.  We've always envisioned our home as some place that was luring to people who needed/wanted to be in the Presences of God.  So last night we had 3 very dear friends come over.  1 was invited and was over in 20 minutes after the invitation and another couple (the husband of the couple is my unofficial spiritual mentor) asked if we were home so they could come over and talk & get hugs.  Now as much as I would love to think and take credit for people being lured to our home due to my incredible attitude and personality, I saw clearly that it was the Presence of God that was drawing them in.  That's not to say that we have nothing to do with it.  We pray everyday without fail for awareness of His Presence.  We pray for His Presence to be known in our home and in our lives.  We pray faithfully and in belief that we will be transformed into His likeness from glory to glory.  Last night was an answer to prayer and a reward for our obedience.  God gave us a glimpse of what it looks like to live in Him and to welcome Him in us.  PRAISE JESUS!!!!!!!...  for everything. 

John 4:45, "So when He came to Galilee, the Galileans received Him, having seen all the things that He did in Jerusalem at the feast; for they themselves also went to the feast."

John 6:20-21, "But He *said to them, “It is I; ^[h]do not be afraid.” ²¹ So they were willing to receive Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going."

Luke 10:38, "Now as they were traveling along, He entered a village; and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home."

Luke 8:40, "And as Jesus returned, the ^[k]people welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him."

These are few of so many verses that tell us of the importance of welcoming Him and others as though they were Him.  Welcome Him and receive Him, and others, today.

12June2014- Testing Training

How you doin?  This is going to be lightning fast since I'm at work.  I'm sure you can hear some struggle over the last few days.  I was "listening" for/to God on my way to work this morning.  Meaning, I wasn't praying.  I was listening.  I heard something that I've never heard before.  I heard, "I'm testing you and training you for a new glory".  This rocked me.  I don't have time to get into many details about this, but there is a lot more.  I still feel relatively unhappy here in the natural, but I can't say that I've ever had so much joy.  Please pray for the Holy Ghost to teach me to trust myself enough for this new glory/season.

My emails may look a little different and a lot less.  I know that this training and testing is very personal between God and I.  He is waiting on me to pull back and spend time Him and only Him.  If anyone would like to still receive daily emails for encouragement and fellowship please let me know.  I have had some people tell me that they count on and look forward to the email each morning.  I don't want to stop that ministry.  Please let me know if you want an email daily.  Otherwise it will be as the Holy Ghost leads.  I have no idea how long this will be.  Please be praying for me to trust myself and to yield myself to God completely.  WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!!  I'm a wreck.  AWESOME!!!!!!!

While I'm going through this training/testing, I don't want to neglect this call to ministry.  So the Holy Ghost gave me strategy this morning to do both.  I'll be copying and pasting a devotional email that I receive.  THIS WILL NOT BE MY WRITING.  This devotional has been instrumental in my spiritual growth.  I don't now how long God will have me in this training/testing but I will email you my writings as I'm lead by the Spirit.  These devotionals are written by various writers.  I hope and pray they serve you well.  One thing that always stands out to me is the numerous times God says in the Old Testament, "Hear me, listen to me, and pay attention to me".  I pray that you are able to not only do that, but be patient with me as I do that.  I hope you enjoy this until I'm through this process.  I do know this is leading me into a new glory.  Please keep praying for me/us and I'll be praying for you. 

11June2014 - 4th Day

How you doin?  I'm a little better today.  I feel a bit more rested.  I'm still having trouble coming out of the state that organizing conferences puts me in.  I still feel like I need time with Him and only Him.  My relationship with Him is the most important thing.  When I'm in right relationship with Him my life produces fruit.  I did make the mistake and asked someone how they liked the message on Sunday.  He ripped the message apart and basically said it was worthless.  Ouch!!!!!!!  Take that for asking.  One of these days I'll learn NOT to ask.  I'm still struggling with the book of Job.  I'm not sure why God has us here reading this book.  It seems extremely redundant. 

In the first five verses Job rips his friend a new one.  That part I get.  It's the rest of the verses that I don't get.  In the NASB verses 6-22 are titled "Job Says God Shattered Him".  As I've said before, we have the benefit of reading about God and Satan's dialog in the beginning of the book.  Though God allowed this to happen, it's Satan's hand that's causing the damage.  God still put restrictions on Satan both times He allowed Satan to afflict Job.  Here's where it feels redundant.  I'm not sure what I'm missing.  There are 22 more chapters of this.  I'm praying that I get it.  Whenever there's an issue with understanding or making sense of the Scripture, I always look at myself. 

I've heard from Doug Addison via text message Sun, Mon, & Tues.  More is being revealed about the weekend.  For those of you who read this email and attended the conference, please email me any testimony you have.  Healing, deliverance, revelation, understanding, etc.  Stacey and I, along with Doug, would love to hear about it.  I know some people that were in attendance aren't on this email list.  If you talk to them, please ask them to email me as well. 

I do feel as though I could burst.  I know that God has a great work in me and in us as a couple.  The anticipation is at a boiling point.  Know that God is good today.

PS   After talking with Stacey this morning, we both feel that the conference released freedom and acceptance for us.  Freedom to be in our identity and destiny in Christ.  Acceptance by God.  Acceptance by God to be His children.  I think that I'm dealing with some 4th day stuff.  I feel like the heavy weight of rejection is on me.  The rejection of those who didn't attend the conference.  The email I received about the message on Sun. and more.  I know that Satan can only counterfeit or do the opposite of what God does.  So it makes sense.  I received acceptance and now Satan is hitting me with rejection.  I keep thinking of Dan Mohler's message.  If I'm being hurt by other people it's my problem not theirs.  Rejection from people has NO business speaking louder then acceptance from God.

10June2014 Maintaining STewardship

How you doin?  I'm really exhausted.  We spent the day in Widwood yesterday with Stacey's family.  It was very fun, but very full.  I feel like I need a day of recovery.  I heard God say "stewardship" this morning while praying.  Stewardship of myself, my marriage, the kids, my house, and most of all my relationship with Him.  God can only pour out of me what He fills me with and what I can retain or hold.  My thoughts are some what tiring right now.  I have had a ton poured in and not much time to let it set in.  I love the fact that I received text message from Doug Addison Sunday and yesterday.  WOW!!!!!!!  What a blessing that would be to maintain communication and to develop friendship with him.  We did read Job 14 this morning.  I didn't get much out of it, except for more of the same.  Job's "friend" has a major case of identity theft.  Not just his identity, but all believers.  He also shows how he doesn't know God at all.  Sorry for such a short email today.  I feel like I'm jipping you this morning.  I'm just really exhausted.  Be good stewards of what God has given you today.

PS   Not only do I hear "stewardship", I'm hearing "rest".  "Rest in the Lord".

9June2014 Dust Settling

How you doin?  Whatta weekend.  The entire weekend was a huge set up by God.  Doug Addison brought a freedom impartation with him like I've never experienced.  Praise God!!!  Doug's message was refreshing, uplifting, and inspiring, but wasn't a pep rally.  AWESOME!!!!!!!  It will take some time for the dust settle.  It will take some time for the anointing to become a reality and part of my everyday.

One day last week I had written that I could feel God pouring into me what He wants to pour out of me.  That really became a reality yesterday as I gave the message at all three of our church services.  The message was on the transformational power of the Holy Ghost.  I can't really preach on or testify to something I haven't experienced.  The time I spent with Doug was such a divine set up.  It's amazing to come into right relationship with Him.  Not based on what I've been traditionally taught.  That actually leads to spiritual death and separation.  Right relationship with Him based on His heart.  COME ON!!!!!!!  It's more then a thrill to step into my identity and destiny in Christ. 

I was certainly stretched over the weekend.  At the conference as well as giving the message at church.  New wine taste wonderful.  I'm praying to be a new wine skin.  I so want to hold on to this glory and not let it fade away because of everyday life.  I don't ever want to go back to "normal".  I'm praying that my "normal" becomes Christ like and reflects His image. 

Those of you who attended the conference, pray about being a new wine skin so you can hold the new wine that was poured in.  Those of you who heard the message that I was fortunate enough to speak out on Sunday, yield yourself to the Holy Ghost and let Him transform you into His likeness and image.  The second greatest commandment is to love you neighbor as you you love yourself.  It's easy to love yourself if you see how God sees you.  If you love yourself, it's easy to love your neighbor.  COME ON!!!!!!!  Don't let the devil steal your identity today.

PS   Sorry if I'm all over the place today.  The dust will settle and my "normal" will become different, but better.  This weekend wasn't a mountain top experience... it was transformation.  COME ON!!!!!!! 

7June2014 Like Minded

How you doin?  WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!!  It's amazing to watch the power of God overcome prejudice, religion, and human tradition.  Watching people being touched by the anointing that's on Doug is a blessing.  Not only experiencing the freedom for myself, but watching others experience the release of their captivity.  It's the best watching those who don't believe they are in captivity.  Looking into a the face of a person that encountered the Holy Ghost makes all the effort, rebuke, and perseverance well more then worth it. 

For me personally, I just can't get over the similarities in Doug and I.  Our desire for identity, destiny, and freedom in Christ is uncanny.  The way he speaks of identity theft sounds as though I wrote his material.  The way he speaks about religion and human tradition again sounds identical to what I write in these emails.  The way he desires an intimate relationship with the Father, feels as though I'm looking in the mirror.  Most of all, his heart for the lost and the captives here in our country and more then that in our churches.  Last night's session taught me to understand the benefit of the freedom that the Holy Ghost offers to the unlovable.  The folks that "just don't get it".  I received an impartation of ministering to those who are unlovable.  I very well may not be making much sense.  Bare with me through this weekend of extreme doses of the Kingdom message.  Bare with me as I sort through the mega doses of Kingdom resources.  This conference is is SO up my ally.  PRAISE JESUS!!!!!!!  His grace and peace surpasses all my understanding.  I wanted to through in the towel several times in the past 3 months.  Praise God for His refuge.  I need/want Doug's anointing and impartation like I need air.  I want to destroy the works of the devil and set the captives free.

I did read Job 14 this morning, but I'm reeling from last night and can't really remember what it said.  I remember reading verse 6 and thinking "oof... that's wrong".  Anyway, please keep praying and more importantly keep coming out the the sessions today.  Stacey and I were so blessed by the support of those who attended from our church as well as our friends from other churches.  Actions speak louder then words and our friends that came out to support us last night and again today are a blessing to us.  Thanks for showing us that you love us and trust us.  We love you and trust you back.  Praise God for Christian community.  That in itself is an answer to prayer.  We're finding that our friends are the Spirit filled or the unchurched.  Hmm!!!!!  Love you guys... you know who you are.  Come to the meetings with an open heart/mind and receive today.

PS   I didn't even get into the thrill of being around like minded followers of Jesus.  Like minded in the desire to be transformed into His likeness.

6June2014 Heavenly Resources

How you doin?  I had the opportunity to spend 4 hours with Doug Addison yesterday.  3 of which were just he and I.  He's very prophetic.  We had such a great time.  He lives a life that is extremely luring to me.  I've mentioned several times about practicing or being practiced in the gifts of the Spirit.  Training in them as though training for the Olympics.  Doug and I spoke a lot about that.  We also spoke about praying for strategy in ministry and in our own life.  He's a regular guy.  Which is amazing for me to say.  6 years ago I would have said he's "out there".  My anticipation of a move of the Holy Ghost in tonight's meeting has peaked beyond believe.  It's an expectation.  It's so thrilling to be around someone like Doug Addison.  Exchanging text messages and even if just for this weekend partnering with him to usher in the Kingdom.  It's amazing to be around someone this prophetic, knowledgeable about the Presence, and practiced in the gifts of the Spirit.  The impartation I received from him last night was incredible.  I can't imagine what tonight is going to be like. 

I was up at 4:25am praying.  Stacey is getting some much needed sleep.  She gets a little upset when she over sleeps our devotional time, but I really think her rest is more important today.  We have been getting worn out this week. 

I haven't read anything in the Bible yet today because I was called to just spend some private time in prayer with Him.  I will read something today, but I'm not sure what or when.  So today's email is a response to the grace and blessing that God offers me during these times of ministering to our Christian community and area of Cape May County by organizing these events.  The blessing it is to serve along side of a spiritual giant like Doug Addison.  The gift of having some of his anointing imparted to me.  WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!!  What an experience of having God work through me.  I can literally feel Him pouring into me what He wants to pour out of me.  COME ON!!!!!!!  Spend time with Him and talk with Him today. 

PS   Come out tonight and receive the gift of impartation from this extremely anointed man.  This is an extraordinary opportunity to be around this type of prophetic gifting.  This conference with Doug Addison is indeed a resource of heaven.

5June2014 Stand in your righteousness

How you doin?  It's here.  We will pick Doug up in Philly today at 4:30.  I hardly slept at all last night.  We did go to the prayer meeting last night in an attempt to receive grace for both Stacey's healing and mine.  We often find ourselves staying away from the important things like prayer meetings, Bible study, prayer, and devotional time when life turns up the heat or volume.  We don't do it on purpose we just tend to fall back on human/natural resources instead of relying on the One that sustains us, protects us, nurtures us, and brings us to the place that stirs the hornets nest.  It's silly to be led to a place that puts us on Satan's radar and then leave the refuge of the One who brought us there.  It's only in His refuge that Satan has NO affect.   

​I haven't been talking much about our morning reading.  I have been reading the Bible a lot.  Stacey and I have stayed with our chronological Bible.  We're still in Job.  Apparently not all chronological Bible's are in the same order.  Not even one's from the same translation.  Very interesting if you ask me.  We tend to read the Bible as a story and ask the Holy Ghost to open our minds and hearts to receive the message that He has for us in each reading.  So it doesn't really matter about translation differences.  The Scriptures are inspired by the Holy Ghost and the truth of the Scriptures are revealed by the Holy Ghost.  So it all works for good.  Job 13 today.

What has stood out the most in this story so far is that Job and his friends are letting life's circumstances speak louder then God's truth.  They are also blaming or giving God credit for Satan's affliction.  God allows this to go on because He knows who He has in Job.  Meaning, He knows that Job will stand his ground through this temptation to turn away from God.  In today's reading Job stands on his righteousness and defends himself to one the friends.  Verses 1-2,  “Behold, my eye has seen all this,
                                                                                            My ear has heard and understood it.
                                                                                                                      ² “What you know I also know;
                                                                                             I am not inferior to you.
Job and his friends don't have the same benefit of knowing that God and Satan dialoged about this entire thing in heaven.  They don't know anything about spiritual warfare.  Verses 3-5,  “But I would speak to ^[a]the Almighty,
                                                                                And I desire to argue with God.
                                                                                                      ⁴ “But you smear with lies;
                                                                                You are all worthless physicians.
                                                                                                      ⁵ “O that you would be completely silent,
                                                                                And that it would become your wisdom! 

OUCH!!!!!  This continues on for a few more verses and then Job goes back to giving God credit for Satan's stuff. ​ God refers to Job as "upright", "righteous", and that he turns from evil.  I pointed out in earlier emails that Job and his boys are seriously rebuked and corrected by God.  Job repents and is reconciled with God.  I think that all this goes on because they don't have Jesus to reconcile them to God.  Praise Jesus that He reconciled us to God.  Praise the Holy Ghost that we have Him to teach us.  Praise God for His love.  Stand in/on your righteousness in Christ today.

PS   On our way home last night we had a miracle happen.  This car came rippin out of one of the campgrounds and never stopped.  They came so close to t-boning use that I braced for impact.  I have NO IDEA how they didn't nail us.  Praise God!!!!!!!  I looked back and their car's headlights were directed toward the woods.  They made the hardest right I've ever seen.  I thank God that He's so willing to prove to me that He's "got me". 

29May2014 - Thanksgiving

How you doin?  We attend the "Dwelling Place" prayer meeting last night at Abundant Life and it was AWESOME!!!!!!!  It's so addictive to be in the presence of God.  I felt a tremendous amount of gratitude toward God.  I couldn't stop thanking Him and feeling love for Him.  Being in His Presence will do that.  Psalm 100:4, "Enter His gates with thanksgiving And His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name."  1 Thessalonians 5:16-22, "Rejoice always; ¹⁷ pray without ceasing; ¹⁸ in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. ¹⁹ Do not quench the Spirit; ²⁰ do not despise prophetic ^[l]utterances. ²¹ But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good; ²² abstain from every ^[m]form of evil."  These a few of hundreds of verses that speak about the importance of thanksgiving.  I can't say that I'm thankful all the time.  Last night as the Presence of God made Himself known to me, all I could feel was grateful.  COME ON!!!!!!!  I found myself praying for more.  Praying for more desire to know Him, to love Him, more understanding, revelations, grace, a renewed mind, fresh fire, and most of all love.  As I was praying, thanksgiving was on my lips more then anything.  AWESOME!!!!!!!  I felt a tremendous amount of fellowship with Him last night and this morning.

Job 9 today.  As I'm reading this horrific description of what God does, I found myself feeling sad or sorry for Job.  He was making determinations about God based on his life's experience, which at this time is really bad.  As I'm reading this chapter, I couldn't recognize God based on Jobs description of what God does.  Verse 24,  “The earth is given into the hand of the wicked;
                                                                                                             He covers the faces of its judges.
                                                                                                             If it is not He, then who is it?

Is it possible that Job doesn't know that Satan is on the earth?  Is it possible that Job didn't know about spiritual warfare?  I know we're all guilty of giving God credit for stuff that's not His, but Job straight out says, "If it is not He, then who is it".  Bill Johnson said "God is good.  Satan is bad.  Cancer is bad.  Where do you think that came from?".  This statement does not over simplify a basic truth about the nature of God and the nature of Satan.  Job seems to be well deceived by the works of the Devil.  The very thing that Jesus came to destroy.  COME ON!!!!!!!  Is it possible that the work of the Devil is deceiving "Christians" right into unbelief?  Of course it is.  That's what Satan does.  Followers of Jesus are not exempt, but they are certainly less likely to be deceived.  Job's life's circumstances, which were from the hand of Satan (not God), skewed his knowledge of God's goodness. 

After last night, I can't see or hear anything but God's love and goodness.  At the end of the prayer meeting, we formed a circle to pray together.  I was asked to come to the center of the circle to be prayed for since it was my birthday.  The prayer over me was that God grant me whatever I desire in the upcoming year.  As this was spoken over me, all I could think of was "to know Him".  Not to know Him through study and in my mind, but to know Him intimately and in my heart.  It was a "Solomon" moment for me.  As I was receiving this prophetic prayer over me I searched my heart to see what my desire is.  I asked God to search my heart to see what my desire is.  I knew God was asking me what my desire was like he asked Solomon.  Solomon asked for wisdom, which is a really cool choice.  As I stood there last night raw from the Presence of God, all I wanted was "to know Him".  I truly want to have an intimate relationship with Him.  I want to know Him with my heart and my head will be forced to come along.  In boxing they have a saying, "take the body down and the head will follow".  My spirit (heart) will lead my soul and body.  Be thankful for the fact that God is good today.   

PS   Audrey and Paulie are AWESOME!!!!!!!  We were praying for a women with stage 4 lung cancer last night.  Both Audrey and Paulie bent over backwards trying to get to this women to lay hands on her.  They both did get to her and laid their hands on her.  After praying for this women, she was asked if she felt anything different in her body.  She said that she felt a tingling feeling and tremendous heat from Audrey's hand on her leg.  Stacey reported that she felt like Audrey needed to hug the women.  Audrey did hug the women and prayed that she "receives new lungs that will last forever".  There was a print of Audrey's hand on the women's pants.  It was at least sweat.  Stacey was trying to see if there was gold dust, but there were too many people around the women to see close.   WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!!  There's so much to learn from these kids.  I'm so proud of them.

28May2014 - The spirit of slavery or the spirit of adoption

How you doin?  So I'm 43 years old today.  Stacey left for work around 5:30am and I work today as well.  We celebrated my b-day on Mon.  As I was laying in bed praying this morning I heard Romans 8.  I tried to convince God that He want me to read 2 Corinthians 3, but He wouldn't see it my way.  So now I'm sitting here totally wrecked because of Romans 8.  39 verses of complete AWESOMENESS!!!!!!!  As you may notice, one of my favorite subject matters is the new covenant.  Understanding and living under the new covenant makes it possible for me/us to receive the fullness of "Christ in us, the hope of glory".  It allows me/us to step into are identity and destiny in Christ.  It allows me/us to be transformed into His likeness and His image.  WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!!  I would love to just copy and paste the entire chapter, but I won't.

Verses 1-4, "Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. ² For the law of the Spirit of life ^[a]in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. ³ For what the Law could not do, ^[b]weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of ^[c]sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, ⁴ so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit."  So this is what gets me the most.  I've been taught most of my live that I'm a "sinner saved by grace" and that there are a list of do's and don'ts that I need to perform in order to stay on God's good side.  That list is of do's and don'ts is the old covenant or the law.  The law of sin and of death.  The Spirit of God that dwells in us is the Spirit of life.  It doesn't seem like it should be a hard choice to make here.  Life or death.  Let's move on.  There's too many gems in this chapter.

Verse 9-11, "However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. ¹⁰ If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is ^[d]alive because of righteousness. ¹¹ But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies ^[e]through His Spirit who dwells in you."  I hope you just gave God a shout of praise.  The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in us who believe in Him.  "Believe" is the key word.  Yielding myself to the Spirit of truth is the only way I can push through the false or old covenant teaching I've received for so many years.  Unbelief is a problem.  Admitting I had a problem with drugs and alcohol freed me from it.  The same is true for unbelief.  I belief that the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in me.  COME ON!!!!!!!

Here's the best part.  Verses 12-16, "So then, brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh— ¹³ for if you are living according to the flesh, you ^[f]must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live.¹⁴ For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. ¹⁵ For you have not received a spirit of slavery ^[g]leading to fear again, but you have received ^[h]a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!” ¹⁶ The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, ¹⁷ and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him."  HOLY MAC A LOLY!!!!!!!  Verses 15-17 just blow me out of the water.  These promises are overwhelming.  These verses are truth which makes them promises.  We still have a role in all of this.  "We are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh-".  We have a choice to live according to the flesh or according to the Spirit.  When thinking about it, it doesn't seem like a hard choice.  For some reason I find myself choosing poorly.  These verses have everything to do with our identity in Christ.  If I'm aware of who I am in Christ then the choice is easy.  If I'm dealing with identity theft then it gets hard again.  Almost there.

Verses 37-39, "But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. ³⁸ For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, ³⁹ nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."  The love of God is in Jesus and Jesus is in us through the Holy Ghost.  COME ON!!!!!!!  Now obviously there is a lot more in this chapter that I'm skipping over in the interest of time.  Please read the entire chapter on your own.  Before you do, ask the Holy Ghost to open your mind and heart to what He has to say to you.  Rebuke the spirit of slavery and receive the Spirit of adoption today.    

27May2014 - Love has defeated fear

How you doin?  Stacey throws one amazing party.  Yesterday was my one day off sandwiched between 11 work days.  So Stacey planned a very small birthday party for me with a few family members.  It was very small, but very fun.  Stacey did a wonderful job at making it possible for me to still rest and relax.  The party seemed like it was more for the kids.  They're a blessing beyond belief.  Stacey and the kids are a gift that keeps on giving.  I'm very LU.C.K.y (Living Under Christ's Kindness). 

Job 8 this morning was more of the same.  Another of Job's "friends" suggesting that Job has done something sinful or against God.  I heard an incredible message from Bill Johnson yesterday about "the renewed mind".  The mind that can understand the spiritual realm.  The mind that is in tune with and is like Christ's mind.  The mind that isn't fixed on life's experiences.  I'm a bit jealous of this person with the renewed mind.  It's a huge prayer for me.  Transformation is more important to me then air.  The Holy Ghost is trying to wash me with regeneration and renewal (Titus 3:5).  It's me who struggles letting go and letting God.  I pray to become fasted from my "self" and to have the manifest love of God flowing out of me.  As Bill Johnson said "The renewed mind knows that sometimes God wants to do things through us as well as for us".  In the song "Scandal of Grace" by Hillsong United they sing, "O to be like You".  COME ON!!!!!!!  Why does it fell scary to become like Him.  It feels like I'm standing at a closed door with my hand on the door knob and I can't open it because I'm scared.  Help me God.  Join me in praying that we know in our hearts and minds that love has defeated fear today.

24May2014 - My Rights are Wrong

How you doin?  I'm slowly but surely becoming that old dude who doesn't like summer.  Which is really weird for me, since I've lived most of my life for summer.  Oh, well.  Maybe God will change my heart in this matter.  Stacey has a great outlook or copying mechanism for traffic and the inconsideration of seasonal visitors.  I'm jealous of her when it comes to this.  I'll try to follow her lead.  I find that my drive to be out in front of life is causing hardship and separation from God.  I find myself lured to sitting back and not being first.  To let someone else go before me.  I'm not sure if this makes sense.  I may be starting a thought in this email that's in the middle of my thought in my head.  My thought is about conceding my "rights".  My human "rights" do nothing but make me angry and suffer.  They only work if everyone in the world also agrees that I have "rights".  That's a daunting task to convince everyone that I have the "right" to serve my "self".  Come on God, help me stop raising the dead me to life.  Falling back on the basics helps me.  "Turn your eyes upon Jesus". 

I'm finding Job to be a tough read.  Job's friend Eliphaz, who is rebuked by God, sounds like he's making sense to me in Job 5.  I do know in this story that Job doesn't receive his friends statements very well (Chapter 6).  I also know that God says He's angry with Eliphaz for what he said.  The only thing I can think of is, Eliphaz is speaking from his own opinion of what he sees and hears.  He's not in a place of fellowship with God.  Eliphaz seems to be very religious.  Meaning that his position is that God is good to the good people and bad to the bad people.  This is hard to understand because this is written before the old covenant.  This is all before Moses.  It would make better sense if the law was in place.  Eliphaz isn't in agreement that God is good.  His position is that Job has done something wrong and that he needs to repent.  God says that Job is upright, fears the Lord, and turns from evil.  To me that sounds like he has favor.  Like I said before, this book in the Bible doesn't answer questions for me, it causes me to ask more questions.  There's a part of God's character and nature that I'm missing here.  I will be praying for understanding.  "Turn your eyes upon Jesus" today.     

PS   Stacey pointed out that it sounds like Eliphaz is speaking from his life's experience vs his relationship with God.  That makes sense to me.

23May2014 - Relationship vs Works

How you doin?  While praying this morning, I was convicted that my relationship with God is the most important thing in life.  I can't allow anything I do out weigh my relationship with Him.  Nothing that I do, deeds or works, can increase my closeness to Him.  Spending time with Him and seeking His face draws me closer.  Alone time with Him draws me closer.  Deeds and works are a consequence of my intimate relationship with Him.  Understanding the Scripture doesn't draw me closer to Him.  Knowing and seeking Him gives me understanding.  My motives have everything to do with the effect of my actions, devotions, study, prayer, and ability to love others.  If I do these things to potion myself in good standing with Him, it goes the opposite way.  God wants me to love Him and not perform my way into good standing.  I'm not sure why I'm sharing this very personal stuff.  It's just how my prayers went this morning.

Job 4 today.  You're pretty much on your own with this one.  I need to be at work early today so that's it for me.  I'm not sure what this chapter is about.  Sadly enough I'm out of time and God had something else for me today.  Love Him and seek Him today. 

22May2014 - Taking Lumps

How you doin?  There's a super cool article in yesterdays Herald by a super cool author.  Here's the link, http://www.capemaycountyherald.com/article/100533-if+they+can+do+it+i+can+do+it#comment-form.  There was a comment at the bottom of the article from a religious AA-er.  One of the things I don't see eye to eye with the program is the concept of being one drink away from being a drunk.  In the same way I'm not a "sinner saved by grace".  True freedom from the Lord is just that true freedom.  Living in human tradition is like remain in your cell of captivity with the door open.  God offers you to walk out into freedom, but some people choose to remain in the fear of whatever God freed them from.  It's like being on parole.  You're out of captivity, but still under the authority of your punish-er.  Of course I'm not willing to get into an exchange of "comments" on the Herald's website, but I will say that I am NOT one drink away from being a drunk.  I walk in the freedom that only the Lord can provide.  I do now and have always done a lot of things that the program warned me against.  Things like handling alcohol.  I handle different kinds of wine, vodka, brandy, and sometimes beer at my job regularly.  I can honestly say I'm freed from alcohol.  I do NOT live in fear of it.  I also believe that human tradition keeps the program inside the four walls.  Human tradition also keeps what happens in church inside the four walls.  Fear is a nasty thing.  True freedom to me is walking out and away from the "cell" of captivity and being willing to share the "GOOD NEWS" with whom ever I can.  I'm more then willing to take my lumps along the way.  Freedom often involves perseverance and persecution.  That's a nice segue way into Job 3.

Verse's 1-4, "Afterward Job opened his mouth and cursed ^[a]the day of his birth. ² And Job ^[b]said,

³ “Let the day perish on which I was to be born,
And the night which said, ‘A ^[c]boy is conceived.’
⁴ “May that day be darkness;
Let not God above care for it,Nor light shine on it."  This chapter is dripping with pain and anguish.  Job is suffering in a tremendous way.  I did notice that Job never speaks against God.  In fact while he's wishing he were dead he still recognizes that God cares for his life and that light had shined on it.  These chapters are the chapters that make me think that the story of Job is about perseverance, not patients.  When I read them, I hear Job standing his ground with integrity.  He does not waver from the thought that God is good.  He states his life is torturous and that he wants out of it, but he never turns on God.  This is truly a great story of withstanding persecution and perseverance.  Stand your ground in the integrity that comes from the Lord today.   

21May2014 - God's Faith

How you doin?  Sometimes I think fairly poorly of myself.  Attacks on my identity or attempts at identity theft boggle my mind.  I tend to allow other peoples "stuff" to rub off on me.  Other peoples anxiety, worry, greed, fear, and discontentment.  It's awful when it's going on, but it's funny once I regain my identity.  I love watching super hero movies and mutation shows and movies.  X-Men is one of my favorites.  In these types of movies/shows there's usually a character that can take on the appearance, voice, and characteristics of other people.  Though this makes for a cool mutation in a movie/show, it stinks in life.  Whenever I take on other peoples "stuff" I'm not in my own identity.  God didn't create me with this mutation.  He created me to be me.  He created me to walk in my identity and destiny.  I especially don't handle other peoples fear.  God is bringing me out of a state of fear over the last 10 years of sobriety.  He is bringing me into a state of love.  His love and faith.  When I accept someone's fear it feels horrible.

Job 2 today.  Verses 1-6, "Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them to present himself before the Lord. ² TheLord said to Satan, “Where have you come from?” Then Satan answered the Lord and said, “From roaming about on the earth and walking around on it.” ³ The Lord said to Satan, “Have you^[a]considered My servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man^[b]fearing God and turning away from evil. And he still holds fast his integrity, although you incited Me against him to ^[c]ruin him without cause.” ⁴ Satan answered the Lord and said, “Skin for skin! Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life. ⁵ However, put forth Your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh; he will curse You to Your face.” ⁶ So the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your ^[d]power, only spare his life.”'  Here it is again.  Satan presenting himself to God along with other angels.  Satan is a created being of God.  Is it possible that he still must present himself to God because of God's supreme sovereignty?  We know Satan is against God, but he is also under God.  Perhaps these dialogs occur in the second realm of heaven and not the third.  This is also the second time that Satan suggest that God "put forth Your hand".  Each time God gives Satan permission to do what he does... evil.  Both times God restricts Satan.  The first time was Satan couldn't touch Job's body.  The second time was Satan couldn't kill Job.  Satan's rebellion is on display here in this dialog.  God's faith in Job is also on display.  God knows His creation very well.  I can't picture God doing all this and He's chewing His finger nails all nervous and wondering if Job will hold up.  God test Job because He knows Job will pass the test.  Verses 9-10, "Then his wife said to him, “Do you still hold fast your integrity? Curse God and die!” ¹⁰ But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God and not accept adversity?” In all this Job did not sin with his lips."  Empathize with Job here.  You just lost everything you owned and your kids.  Now you're covered in painful sores.  Would you sin with you lips?  Would you be like Job's wife?  I'd like to say no, but I wonder.  I've experienced suffering in my life and I didn't handle it very well.  I'm in a much different relationship with God, but I still wonder.

This Scripture may forever baffle me.  I just don't get this one.  When I read it I get questions, not understanding.  If I'm conscience of my flesh in heaven I'll ask Father God about this Scripture.  Unless He tells me here on earth.  Stand your ground and pass your test today.       

​PS   I can't understand Satan being amongst the angels and in the presence of God.  All I've ever read on Satan is that he's trying to destroy God's creation.  That he fights with angels, particularly Michael.  Perhaps Satan is subdued in this environment.  Otherwise I would think he would be unleashing fury.  I know I don't need to understand everything, but this one really gets me.  I can't wait for breakthrough.

PPS   Since our Doug Addison event has shown up on Elijah's List, our phone an email has blown up.  Please pray for us to have the words and strength to minister to the extreme needs of the people that are drawn to this extreme ministry.  This is going to be off the hook.  We will be stretched and we will grow.  God is AWESOME!!!!!!!  I thank Him for seeing us as able to pass this test.  COME ON!!!!!!!  ​

20May2014 - A Yielded Life

How you doin?  As I said before, Stacey and I are reading the NIV Chronological Bible.  On Sun 5/18 we read Genesis 11 and 1 Chronicles 17-27 because they went together chronologically.  Today the first chapter in Job.  Again this is in chronological order.  Life is incredibly busy.  I look at my schedule and my list of things to do and feel overwhelmed.  I'm trying to find balance in prioritizing and organizing.  So much stuff going on.  Memorial Day weekend at work will be crazy and requiring me to work on Sunday.  Then the Doug Addison conference which will require me to be off for two days.  Plus we have #1 and #2.  Those two keep us busier then anything.  We're praying for peace and a sound mind.  We're praying for awareness of His Presence.  God is so good.

I've always heard that the story of Job was about patience.  When I read it in our first read through I thought it was more about perseverance.  Job didn't seem very patient to me, but he did seem to have a tremendous amount of perseverance.  Today I saw chapter 1 as an example of spiritual warfare or the ridiculous battle that goes on between God and Satan.  I also noticed how Job was extraordinarily yielded to God.  The part that fascinates me the most is verses 6-12, "Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and ^[b]Satan also came among them. ⁷ TheLord said to Satan, “From where do you come?” Then Satan answered the Lord and said, “From roaming about on the earth and walking around on it.” ⁸ The Lord said to Satan, “Have you^[c]considered My servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man,^[d]fearing God and turning away from evil.” ⁹ Then Satan answered the ^[e]Lord, “Does Job fear God for nothing? ¹⁰ Have You not made a hedge about him and his house and all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. ¹¹ But put forth Your hand now and touch all that he has; he will surely curse You to Your face.” ¹² Then the Lordsaid to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your ^[f]power, only do not put forth your hand on him.” So Satan departed from the presence of the Lord."  The first thing is that Satan is among a group of angels that were presenting themselves to God.  I thought that Satan was cast out of heaven.  Apparently he has access to heaven.  God seems to take it all in stride and strikes up a conversation with him.  There must be tons more for me to learn about this exchange and dialog.  God asks Satan where he came from and Satan replies casually from roaming around and walking on the earth.  Are you for real.  Then God offers up Job as though to rub Satan's nose in His victory.  That part I like.  I'm not sure if I understand any of this Scripture.  I do find it fascinating.  I look so forward to the day I have a better understanding of this Scripture.

The chapter goes on and messengers tell Job that he basically lost everything he has, including his children.  He response by worshiping God.  Verses 20-22, "Then Job arose and tore his robe and shaved his head, and he fell to the ground and worshiped. ²¹ He said,

“Naked I came from my mother’s womb,
And naked I shall return there.
The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away.
Blessed be the name of the Lord.”

²² Through all this Job did not sin nor did he ^[m]blame God."  Now that is an example of a surrendered life.  That's an example of someone who has denied their "self".  I often refer to tough questions.  What makes a questions tough is either I don't know the answer or I'm not giving the desired answer.  So when I read this story, I ask myself a very tough question, "would I respond like Job?".  I can't say that I would.  I would like to, but I'm not sure if I would.  I like being tested and challenged.  I like tough questions, which lead to refining fires.  I do have the desire to have that kind of a yielded life.  To have that kind of a relationship with Him.  Where things of this world don't matter.  Ask yourself tough questions today.

19May2014 - Deny Your "self" not Money

How you doin?  So I was woken up at 3am by dehydration and a bathroom trip.  While awake I started talking to God and I heard Luke 18:24.  Whenever this happens I have trouble falling back to sleep because I'm so curious about what that verse says.  Not just that verse, but the verses around it.  A lot of the times the verses around the verse I hear in prayer are the ones that stand out to me.  I'm convinced that the Holy Ghost wants me to find things for myself.  It's like the Easter egg hunt.  The joy is watching are kids find the eggs.  We hind them in places that they will be able to find them based on their age and skill set.  When they are very little we hind eggs in the middle of the coffee table and floor in the living room.  As they get older we hind them in harder and harder spots to find.  As I mature as a follower of Jesus, He knows I'll search until I find His message or lesson for me.  That's why when He does this to me at 3am I usually just get up and start praying and reading.  Today I did fall back to sleep for a few hours.  I'm so exhausted.  I did wake up every so often thinking about Luke 18:24.

Luke 18:18-27, "A ruler questioned Him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”¹⁹ And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone. ²⁰ You know the commandments, ‘Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor your father and mother.’” ²¹ And he said, “All these things I have kept from my youth.” ²² When Jesus heard this, He said to him, “One thing you still lack; sell all that you possess and distribute it to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.” ²³ But when he had heard these things, he became very sad, for he was extremely rich. ²⁴ And Jesus looked at him and said,“How hard it is for those who are wealthy to enter the kingdom of God! ²⁵ For it is easier for a camel to ^[g]go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” ²⁶ They who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?” ²⁷ But He said, “The things that are impossible with people are possible with God.”'  I warned you that I read around the verse that God gives me.  I actually read the entire chapter and Matthew 18 as well.  That's another story.  This is the story of "The Rich Young Ruler".  So this story describes or puts Matthew 16:24 into action.  Matt 16:24, "Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow me." (NLT)  Matt 16:24, "Then said Jesus to his disciples, 'If any one doth will to come after me, let him disown himself, and take up his cross, and follow me," (Young's Literal Translation).  Matt 16:24, "Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me." (NASB)  I've heard all my live that "money is the root of all evil".  Luke 18:24 has been misread and misunderstood for so long that some Christians hate money.  Money is good folks.  "Self" is the bad thing in this passage.  Take another look at verse 22, "When Jesus heard this, He said to him, “One thing you still lack; sell all that you possess and distribute it to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”'  Jesus was simply trying to get this "Rich Young Ruler" to deny himself, disown himself, and to turn from his selfish ways.  We have examples of how money can benefit the Kingdom in the right hands.  J.C. Penny comes to mind first.  We tend to be so stuck in the old covenant and under religious teaching that we can't see past deeds, performance, and sin.  Under the influence of religion we read this and think we literally need to sell everything we own.  Jesus was appealing to this man's "self".  Denying your "self" comes in all shapes and sizes.  For me it was drugs and alcohol.  My addictions became my identity.  It became my "self".  If this story were about me it would be titled "The Drunk Drug Addict".  Whatever keeps us from our true identity, destiny, and following Jesus MOST GO.  This story isn't about bashing money, wealth, and riches, it's about denying your "self" and following Him.  Being crucified with Jesus is a good thing.  Necromancy is for those you practice black magic and witch craft, not for followers of Jesus.  Deny whatever your "self" is today.      

18May2014 - Avoid Ourselves

How you doin?  I'm pretty tired today.  It was a tiring week of work.  I did have a good day yesterday.  It was busy and it went well.  Stacey and I have been sowing prayer into the Doug Addison conference for months.  Not one day has gone by that we didn't pray for God to call the people who He wants in attendance and for Him to be there in a recognizable way.  We've prayed for this conference to usher in a new perspective of the Kingdom.  That those who attend will step into their identity in Christ.  I just can't help but think that something great is going to happen.  I belief people will be equipped to minister, freed from captivity, and they will receive revelation and understanding.  The Kingdom message does different things for different people.  It's so fun to watch God work. 

We read Genesis 11 today.  I must admit that I really didn't get much from today's reading.  Chapter 11 ends with Shem's genealogy up to Abram (which is Abraham).  The story of Babel (which is Babylon) is a bit confusing to me.  I've always heard that these people did what they did in "self" promotion and "self" serving motives.  Verse 4, "They said, “Come, let us build for ourselves a city, and a tower whose top will reach into heaven, and let us make for ourselves a name, otherwise we will be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.”'  When God came down and saw what they were doing, He did to them exactly what they were trying to prevent.  Verses 8-9, "So the Lordscattered them abroad from there over the face of the whole earth; and they stopped building the city. ⁹ Therefore its name was called ^[h]Babel, because there the Lord confused the ^[i]language of the whole earth; and from there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of the whole earth."  I guess I could gather that I need to avoid my "self".  I'm not sure what or why, but there's something to this.  I'm confident that when the Lord wants me to understand, I will.  In the mean time, I'm going to keep loving Him.  I'm going to keep my eyes, ears, and attention on Him.  Because He's good.  Please pray to hear if God is calling you to our conference with Doug Addison today.
