Just a quick note to everyone to let you know that the last service in St Joseph was another good and successful one. Healing line was strong and we had a bunch of instant manifestations. The team is traveling on the plane back as i am writing this. The bus crew does not leave until tomorrow around 11 a.m. We have about 2 days to get to CT, so we can take some time to enjoy the scenery :-)
Tear down was very fast - thanks to some great help from the local church!
Pray for a safe trip to the Northeast. Darcy will email me some pictures tomorrow and i will post them once i get them.
Good night from Illinois,
David

Pictures of the day
Hello everyone,
another good day on the crusade trail. 2 very good services. Both sermons tagged on to what has been said yesterday. This crusade has had VERY GOOD teaching. Both Pastor and Ms. Lynette have been in their element and the congregation has been pulling on the anointing very strongly. Tonight Pastor had a healing line and he also ministered to Ministers and their spouses. The anointing was very strong. I highly recommend getting the CDs of this meeting. Lots of good teaching.
We also had an Alumni Fellowship Dinner tonight after the service. It was a great time to catch up with fellow RHEMA graduates.
Good night from the road.

Pentecost
Tonight was absolutely AWESOME! Pastor rocked the house... (sorry, there is no better way to describe it).
He spoke/taught/preached on the subject of Pentecost and how important it is for this generation to keep that alive and pass it on to the next generation. He explained, with the help of examples of the past, how this generation tends to turn away from the moving of the Holy Spirit and how even "spirit-filled" churches try to put God in a box or on a schedule. The effects of doing something like this are terrible. There are churches out there that know better, but refuse to do something about it...just so "we don't offend anybody".
Pastor exhorted the people to take a hold of what has been given to us and let the Holy Spirit flow in our lives and our congregations.
Always remember that the World is looking for what we have. They expect us to be different in the first place - so why do we adapt, just in order to please them?
Personally, I like to say it that way: If someone is looking for somebody to pat him on the back, telling him that everything is going to get better one day - he can go into the next bar and will more than likely find someone to do that for him. Churches need to be different! We have the solution - let's proclaim it! Let's talk about the blood of Jesus, that washes away all sin!
If there is something that we can hear out of all messages here so far is: Put what God has given you to practice and live it like you mean it!
As you all can tell, i am pretty fired up tonight and so was most of the audience. Pastor did a GREAT JOB tonight!
Thank you Darcy for always providing such great pictures. (sure will miss you, buddy)

St Joseph - Day 2
This morning was another great opportunity to take a vacation day and sit under the Word of God. Ms. Lynette did a fantastic job. She spoke on different things this morning...and they were all good. One thing that really stuck out to me was one things she mentioned about raising kids. Myself, not having any children yet, like to take note of some good advise.
Mrs. Hagin was saying that these days, parents are so consumed driving their kids from one practice to the other, from one program to the next, one event to the other... Where is family time with God in all of this? She stressed that it is so important to set time aside, eat meals together, have devotional time together... because what is imparted at a young age, will keep kids on the right path.
These morning sessions on the road are just full of "nuggets" to take away with you. I love the way Ms. Lynette illustrated biblical principles in practical ways. You do not want to miss any of these services.
Here a few pictures of this morning.
Talk to you again later,
David

Use the authority...
Day 1 of the Living Faith Crusade in St Joseph was great. Setup went smooth, thanks to a bunch of help from the local church; the rest of the team came in safely and service tonight was awesome.
Pastor spoke on one of the key subjects of this ministry - the authority of the believer.
So many times people tend to blame God for things that happen in this world, or they think that God is in control of this world. You hear things like "God sent this hurricane..." or "why did God let this happen"... We tend to forget though that God has delegated the Authority to us - the believers. We need to do something with it! With authority comes responsibility. It is time we, as Christians shape up and use what God has given us. Use it in your realm of influence. Speak over your property, that it is protected from the storm, speak over your family, etc.
Another thing that it is important is to use a tone of Authority. Its not enough to whisper around and kindly tell the devil to take his hands of you...be bold about it and you will see results.
I have to share a story out of my own life: I have been having a bad cough about 2 weeks ago and i had to got to the doctor a few times. He prescribed some medication and I was standing and believing that "by his stripes i was healed". I was getting a lot better and by mid of last week it was gone completely. Then, the day before we are supposed to leave for this trip, I start to cough really hard and my thought turned fiery red. Immediately I had my doctors voice in my head that said "oh just wait, it will come back a few more times until it's all the way gone"... I quickly decided - not with me Mr. Devil: I got in the car and drove around campus yelling at the top of my lungs at the devil, telling him to take this cough and return to where he came from. Told him i was standing on the Word and that he over-extended his stay already. I decided not to think about it anymore and to act like it was so.
I kid you not, within 20 minutes the pain, cough and swelling was completely gone. Now, i am not telling you now to run and drive around, yelling like a crazy person :-) but it is the tone of authority that will make a difference. Just think about what God has provided for you with His son Jesus. Wow, what a responsibility we have.
Pastor did a great job tonight. He is such a great teacher and the audience really "soaked it in". Pastor and Mrs. had a healing line at the end of the service and we had a few testimonies of instant manifestations.
Thanks for everyone's prayers and for posting comments on this blog. Let us know you are reading.
For the entire Crusade team.
David W.
