WOW!  PRETTY GOOD IMPRESSION OF OUR BEAUIFUL JESUS' FACE!

Our totally awesome son of The Branch, Kyler

Tell me some things you like to do "biking, soccer, worship."

What instrument do you like to play?  "  I like all of them.  I like to play the bass, the piano, I love the sound of the drums.  The penny flute puts out a sweet melody.  I also like the guitar.  It is my favorite out of all of them.

How did you like David's Tent?  "  I really liked Josh Amstutz and his ukulele, it just made the show!   I enjoyed especially the end (of the 40 days) when the tent was filled spitting out melody's toward God.  It was also awesome how God led us through all the cold days.  We pushed through.  But let's not forget about the hot ones!  I also met some amazing people on our shift, 1-7, Josh, Jonas, Kelsey, Tyler, David and John. 

Do you like IHOP?  "I really like their worship.  It brings back good memories of David's Tent DC! 

What do you think the Lord is doing now?  "HE IS ON THE MOVE.......

Our spectacular beloved daughter of the King, Grace!

I am pleased to have my daughter tell me about her dream that God gave her. 

I was singing, God is good, God is Good!  Then I  saw a graveyard, then all these people rose up out of their graves. Then I seen my heart and it just got bigger and bigger and bigger.  God loves me! 

Another woman we met exalting the Lord at David's Tent Rebecca Ford

I took this excerpt from Rebecca's blog Shephardsheart.wordpress.com. 

These scriptures and many more tell us of the power that Christians have. Old Testament prophets like Elijah and Elisha worked many miracles of great power, but they did not have the glory of Christ in them. The Holy Spirit rested upon them like a cloak, given for their ministry. Yet that was enough to raise the dead and make an iron ax head float. It was enough to work great miracles. At Pentecost, the purpose of Christ’s death and resurrection was finally given. Because man was made holy by Christ’s death, the Holy Spirit could indwell us. Instead of one “Christ” upon the earth, now there were many “Christians.” Or instead of one Great Fire, now there were many little ones, spreading fire over the face of the earth. They were sent out like torches to start more fires! They were commissioned to spread the Good News, heal the sick and cast out demons. They were commissioned to possess the land in the same way that the Israelites were to possess the land in the book of Joshua. God did not drive out all of their enemies ahead of them. Instead he gave them the task of going into the land with God and taking possession of the land. If the Israelites did as God told them they would be blessed and would drive out their enemies with power.

Beverly and Chris (Amazing newlyweds we met at David's Tent)

I want the Lord's voice on the earth. The best way I know how to put His voice into the earth (He's The Voice Of Many Waters) is through all His beautiful creations.  He Is speaking.  He hasn't quit speaking.  Even His blood speaks.  My sheep hear My voice and another voice they will not follow.  So those that are His hear His voice.  So are you hearing His voice?  This is Chris and Beverly.  Amazing lovers of Yeshua. 

As the Lord was connecting with Beverly on how incredibly consistent His love is through everything - especially in the depths of our choosing to bless Him regardless of the changes in our life - I was writing this poem. Pretty cool how the Lord was speaking to us both in the same (but different) ways at the same time!

You ride the ocean tide

Never the same, ever unchanging

See the sun in the dawning

So is the mercy You flood

See the moon wash this soul field

So is the way You are

Never the same, ever unchanging

In water fall, in river flow

The mortal muse can never know and live to tell

The measure of Your fell beauty

Then drop me dead dear King

For i will chase to taste that wonder

Til the dying of my day

Never the same, ever unchanging

Blessings!

Chris and Beverly

Hurricane Sandy (Defender of Man)

With the impending hurricane a lot of our hearts are not at rest.  We worry, we're scared, what are we going to do?  What about our family, will they be okay?  It is hard sometimes to see such disaster on the earth.  We question God.  We wonder Why?  But we can believe that GOD IS SOVEREIGN!  He is performing His will on the earth.  When the storm came to the disciple's, and Jesus was asleep in the boat.  They worried!  They said "we will perish."  They were with the King of King's and Lord of Lords.  Yet their hearts were full of fear.  They had seen all the miracles.  The multiplication of loaves, people being raised from the dead, numerous healing's.  Yet, still yet, they did not trust!
Jesus was trying to find a place to rest His head.  He had given the disciples authority.  It says "foxes have hole's and the birds of the air have nests but the Son of Man has no where to lay His head."

COULD WE GIVE HIM REST?   Can Jesus lay His head on us?  We have the ability to calm the storm!  He told His disciples "Oh you of little faith!"  What???

My thought is Let's give Him rest.  Let's pray for the Father's will.  Let our hearts be still and know HE is GOD!  WE CAN trust HIM!  REALLY!  REALLY!  Ludicrous but true!  HE IS worthy to be trusted in.

Without faith it is impossible to please God!  Let us have faith.  Let us believe and give the Good Master rest.

He Will have His way in the storm.  It will work out for good.  God see's THE END TO THE BEGINNING!  He is perfect and He knows the best way to win soul's.  He will use what ever measure to do so.  He is after our hearts.

Great Thought!

There is a place that your fighting from victory not for it. There is a place in the Spirit set aside for us where we make the enemy confused. We weary him by our rest. We discourage him by our faith. We demoralize him with our joy. We depress him by our endurance. He is dispirited by our favor; defeated by our grace.
