I wanted to tell you that (my husband) John was healed of his intestinal problems on Monday night!!! Just to refresh you memory, for the past 6 weeks or so he has
been having stomach pains which get real bad when he eats. This happened each
time he ate! We tried over the counter meds which didn't help and he
being the male he is wouldn't go to the doctor, expecting it to just go
away, which it didn't. Kip, his wife Jan and I laid our tingly
hands on him on Monday night at the Supernatural class and by the next
day he could eat whatever he wanted with no pain and no after effects!

The Lord is definitely preparing a Grand Feast for not only Maui,
but all of Hawaii and Oceania.

Like a smooth stone tossed into the middle of a calm millpond,
what The Lord is starting here is going to have a ripple effect,
No…..correction:

A Mighty wave upon wave effect, throughout the islands of the sea.

Seeing into the future, Isaiah prophesied the day when beautiful feet would
appear on the mountains of the sea, and the island people would arise, anticipating
the great coming of the Lord, and the mighty (wave) of His strength. Isa 55:5

The day of salvation is now.

Like David's chosen sling stone that found it's mark and struck the giant dead,
God's "pebble" has hit & capsized the slave ship of souls, condemning satan and
his murderous crew of pirates, thieves, and liars to the bottom….

With thunder and sword in hand, The Angel of The Lord is making His stand
(Rev 10:5-7), and all the liberated inhabitants of the sea will break forth with joy.

God's word will not return void, but will accomplish everything He desires.

All's I can say is, anyone foolish enough to miss this boat,
is really going to miss the voyage of a lifetime !

(We exchange emails as God gives revelation and while this one was intended to be only to a few, I believe the insight and prophetic illumination is so rich that it needs to be shared. Also, I think it rich to have the chance to see the heart and Spirit that is in those through whom the school has been birthed.)

ALoha!
We sure love you guys, I mean you are so much fun and just incredible people. We always have a good meal just being around you, feasting on who you are! Thanks for your hearts and remember, daily we are lifting you up for every need that we know of in your lives and our desire is to see you possessed by God and overwhelmed and surrounded by His presence everywhere!!
There was room at the inn of Maui and God found a manger last night. I remembered how the angels were happy about the birth of Jesus and partied for the shepherds to hear. JOY!
Isaiah 9:6 is such a great verse...
"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given and the government shall be on his shoulder...."
I love this thought......Jesus was born to be given away......we were born to be given away....the baby was born and will become a son....we live to empower others and we serve those that come with a heart knowing that they are young in this but we speak to their identity, we allay their fears, we surround them with warmth, we respond to their hearts cry to grow in a safe environment.....
As a team, we also stand in agreement with God's thoughts unitedly which attracts His grace to perform that thought through our faith. I love that passage in Isaiah 66:7,8 about the birthing of the Lord and then "her children". Her children was a "nation" and the Hebrew means "foreign nation" and God is birthing around the world, the nation of Heaven, the Kingdom of heaven in the earth.
Jesus was the first man child in verse 6 but the plural in verse 7 is the body of Christ, a people, a nation, and what I would like to suggest is
Who hath heard such a thing? Who hath
seen such things: Shall the earth be made
to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation
be born at once?
C"MON GOD!!!!
Why not believe together and stand in agreement that the Lord can do the exceedingly and abundantly above and beyond all we can ask or think......we stand in His presence in our hearts and say Lord, we will not limit you in any way, we just let you govern, it is on your shoulders and we will co-labor with you in joy and wisdom and faith.
As Barbara Kealiinohomoku from Bethel says,
"Stay low(no desire for recognition but only awe and worship towards God), Stay close(to one another in care,love and honor) and stay in love(with Jesus, each other and everyone)....the parenthesis are mine, but I thought she had a great word....
Blessings, Akua Ke Hemolele, God is good

Movement coming to Maui

As you guys are coming back to Maui, there's a movement coming. There will be a shaking. There's a shaking of the spiritual tectonic plates that is happening. Just be prepared for the Spirit to start shaking Maui. It's a good shaking.. like in Ezekiel where the bones started rattling and then it came together, and then the wind came. I feel that over you guys,. I feel that very strongly over you (Ryan). It's up to you guys too, move the kingdom of God into Maui. There's a shaking coming, there's a movement coming, there's a wave coming. And it's when you guys touch down, Watch for the signs. Learn to read the signs of the times. It's really important so that you can walk with the Lord in this thing; and you're going to be KEY in that.


Maui your time is now, Maui your time is now. We just declare that over that island, over that whole land mass. Your time is NOW.

We just call out for it now for massive salvation to sweep the island of Maui, that you'd continue to do a positioning, Father, within those that need to be positioned in that island for what as begun ..

I can literally hear the sound of thousands of people crying out, I can hear the sound of a movement coming, a rattling coming, there is a movement coming. There's something happening over Maui.

Father, we just say: Release it in its fulness. We cry out to ransom this place. God we call out for te captives and the sons and daughters to come out and just to be made known and to see the salvation of our God.

I keep hearing that over and over again in my spirit: Maui your time is now, Maui your time is now.

God, we declare it now, in this place.. we will not let go until we see it. We will not let go until we see this island saved. I keep hearing Psalm 126 "When the Lord brought back the captives to Zion, we were like men who dreamed, We release this over this nation That the captives are coming back... we will be like men who dreamed. It will be said among us, "The Lord has done great things. We're glad.!" In Psalm 126 it says further, Lord restore our fortunes. and that's translated, God, bring back the captive souls. We say that, Restore the fortunes of Maui. Restore the fortunes of Maui, God. That rumbling, sorry, I keep hearing it. That rumbling, and roaring. We just say release it God. When you guys go back to that island, when the wheels of that plane touch the ground, we say, release that cry, the cry in their heart for massive prayer and fasting with Maui. Do something with them, that will start the rumbling, that will start the shaking in the land. God, we just call again into the land, release your harvest in this island, All the hidden treasures that are locked up in this land, we say, come forth, come out in Jesus name. We call them out. Release your sprit over this island, Father. Maui your time is now. Maui your time is now.

For those of you that are going back and for those who are staying here: The generations that have prayed and died not seeing the promise. And you guys have the privilege to reap in the places that you haven't sown. They prayed and prayed, and they fasted and fasted, and they died choosing something better. Our fathers and mothers, our grandparents, our great-grandarents prayed and prayed and wept over your island. You guys get to harvest it. I see that. The seeds are ripe. So harvest, harvest knowing that you are standing in the promise of thousands of generations and what your family lines have labored for you get to harvest.

Such a celebration is going to rise from Maui. Such a celebration! Fire works!

One of the redemptive giftings of Canada is to be the healing of the nations. We're the only nation with a leaf on our flag. It says in Rev 22 that the leaves of the trees are for the healing of nations. It is a prophetic gesture that there are so many Canadians here. I just release that anointing. Go and heal your nation. Go and heal your nation.

I was in the prayer chapel the other night and i saw all these rich dark green leaves and they fell over my body, And they fell off my body onto the ground. It is part of my inheritance as a Canadian. I release these leaves from heaven on you guys just to be the restorers of nations. Go up from here and restore other islands, restore other nations. We will see this revival come on these islands.

I feel it's really important that Canadians are partnering with you guys. Whether it's seen or not, it's still a redemptive gift. We want to partner with you through prayer through fasting, through whatever we can do for you guys. It's important that you guys are here with us.

We release the peacemaker. I just feel like the Lord is calling Maui from defense to offense. Stick it into offense. Release the offense Lord. Release the fire, God.

I want to proclaim that as these guys are just taking in and reflecting all the things that you are doing, that as they go back, they will be carrying a mantle of something that is so much different, stronger, bigger, bolder. That they will carry it back to their churches, communities. It's going to be a deep heart-thing, it's not a shallow reflection of you, a huge reflection of you like the mountains would be reflecting on a huge lake... that they would be carrying that in the depths of their hearts, super deep. Let them continue to grow their faith to catch those waves that are going to be pounding Maui. As you are going to be pounding that nation. It IS a nation!

Translation for this? I see these palm trees waving around. It's funny cuz we were talking about our maple leaf. I just see these palms waving. I know there's some biblical context for this. They laid their palms down on the ground when Jesus came, ushering him in. It's like the King is coming, You are princes and princesses.. It's like a red carpet, kind of... like some palms laid down for you.

For us Maui people, I hear God saying, "Instead of Maui being known as the windsurf capital of the world, He wants it to be known as the Holy Spirit Capital of the world."

When he mentioned the palm trees, I thought of the scripture in Isaiah 42:12 that says, Let them give glory to the Lord, let them declare His praise in the islands.

Aloha. The mandate for the school is to raise up a generation that can openly display the raw power of God. Maui School of Supernatural Ministry (MSSM) is committed to the truth that God loves people, gave Himself for them and has given His Church supernatural power to bring individuals and nations into wholeness. The mission of MSSM is to equip and deploy followers of Jesus Christ who passionately pursue transformation in their God-given spheres of influence. In the 2007/2008 school year, more than 90 students will be trained to continue in the ministry style of Jesus: to enjoy the presence of God, say what He is saying, and do what He is doing.

MSSM is a Holy Spirit driven ministry school where students of all ages come to learn how to live in the Kingdom of God and extend it's borders through a supernatural lifestyle. One of our core values is honor, which manifests through joining the generations and teaching every age group to value and serve one another.

The school emphasizes hands on training and experience along with academic understanding. This creates a do and teach culture where all of the students are expected to take risks to stretch their faith and grow in their understanding of God.

MSSM believes that each verse of the Bible is an invitation into an experience with the Lord, therefore the students are challenged to live the Bible. This produces a class environment that often feels very much like a laboratory where disciples practice the things they are being taught while instructors coach the process and all this takes places in a setting of passionate worship.

As the year progresses and the students begin to gain confidence and experience within the safety of the classroom, they are sent on outreaches into the community. These exploits include ministry to neighborhoods, after-school programs, and street & service evangelism. When the students take their supernatural ministry into the community, it gets pretty wild and exciting! They return to class to share testimonies, give thanks and debrief, always cheering each other on as they share.

Boldness, passion and risk are center stage in the school. These values define our atmosphere and are manifest in worship, ministry and in relationships with each other.

Ok, that's the mission statement. As for what we'll be learning, we're warned in Eph 4 not to be tossed about by every wind of doctrine. Yet Jesus said in Jn 3 that those born of the Spirit are like the wind in that you can't tell where they're coming from or where they're going. He's not talking about the Spirit, but He's saying believers who are empowered and led by the Spirit move like the wind. So how does the Christian now submit to the Spirit without being tossed about? The issue is not the wind. It's in that from which the wind originates. In one case it's the Spirit (Jn 3) in the other it's doctrine (Eph 4). If Paul had said don't be tossed about by every wind of the Spirit, we may have a major dilemma here. But instead he says, every wind of doctrine. The question then remains, are we following principle or Presence? Principles are what you have left when the Presence is gone.

I don't believe that doctrine was never meant to be simply a list of things we claim to believe. Doctrine is an invitation for a Divine encounter. John 3 says that Jesus was known as a 'teacher' come from God for nobody could 'do' the things that He did. Instruction without example is illegal. It's not ok just to talk. What good is to believe that God heals today if we never contend for healing? To believe that God wills some to be diseased and struggle is to say that the Father is applying to man the curse that Jesus died to destroy. That's saying that the Father and the Son are at crossed purposes.

If salvation applied only to the soul and spirit I'm thrilled, but the demonstration of the Power of God that brings eternal salvation to the soul also ought to have effect in the body. The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead will make your mortal body alive if He dwells in you. The word 'saved' in Scripture is 'sozo' meaning the whole person, spirit, soul, and body. So then to accept that invitation for Divine encounter, two things must take place. Sin has to be dealt with and I must be empowered by the Spirit. The blood of Jesus dealt with sin so that's settled. The only question now is how empowered by the Spirit will I be? In this season we are drawn to meditate on the mystery of Jesus. Fully man, yet fully God. By submitting himself to our limitations, and then redeeming us by His blood, He is now inviting us to submit ourselves to His limitations. What limitations does Jesus have? The Kingdom of God is all about advancement. "...and of the increase of His government, there shall be no end." May it be so on our watch.

Grace and Peace

One of the keys or foundational understandings that must be embraced by LEADERS is a conscious decision to reverence the Holy Spirit. As one pastor in America said, "the Lord came to me one Sunday morning and asked if He could have the service back". He was stunned. The pastor had never even had a thought along those lines in all the years of ministry. The Lord repeated Himself and this pastor humbled himself and gave the services back to the Holy Spirit. It was one of the reasons God visited that church. It has been happening for 12 years now. God has taught this brother how to steward what God has done, to shepherd revival and the keys to see it perpetuated and increase in the lives of not only himself but also of the members of the church and beyond.

Revival began by the Holy Spirit 2,000 years ago when Jesus ascended and was glorified, after He GAVE the promise of the Father and released the Holy Ghost who invaded the 120, accessing the realm of Heaven on earth in experience and demonstration. It was never supposed to stop. This idea that it is sovereign and comes only at certain times orchestrated by God is not true. Revival was supposed to continue, grow and of the increase of His government, of the growth and expansion of His kingdom there would be no end … of daily glory to glory to glory there was to be no end. Revival is the normal Christian life, subduing the foes of God through the power of the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit ushered in revival, the beginning of transforming reformation. What makes us think it will come any other way? We are not smarter than God and He already showed us in Acts 1 and 2 how this is to be. The Holy Spirit is not just about the gift of the Spirit which is the gateway into the gifts of the Spirit. The Holy Ghost is the gateway into an open heaven and the author of revival invading society. The Holy Spirit must be the One who is Reverenced and Depended on if there is going to be any move of God which then and only then will be sustained and perpetuated.

May every man and woman of God, every believer and follower of Jesus Christ who hungers for the authentic and the genuine, for true revival and reformation, read the following story as a key to it happening in our lives and ministries.

*****************************************
A number of years ago, I was invited to speak at breakfast to be attended by some of the leaders of the largest and most impactful ministries in Latin and South America. It was to be held in one of the rooms of the church and the people of the church served the meal and honored those that came. There would be about 60 or more that would come and that is another story for another time.

The day before the breakfast I was to have lunch with the pastor and his staff at a buffet restaurant and we had never met before. I was also to speak at the evening service on Sunday night and God had been allowing me the privilege of seeing tremendous demonstrations and outpourings of His presence and power in the weeks prior to this in the central valley of this nation. I had heard about this church and the impact it was having in the nation and in the Americas.

I had been travelling in different nations and had been to over 100 churches overseas and in the United States and God had visited everywhere. Before too long however, things went back to normal and the move of God so called stopped and I knew that was not God's heart. There was only one church in Fiji that had continued to allow the Holy Spirit freedom and Lordship and that ministry went on to affect the country.


As I sat down at lunch, the pastor struck me immediately as a man who was living in the presence of God. There was just something about him. He wanted to know a little about me and why I had come to his nation. I felt to share how I had gotten hungry for God while pastoring churches in Hawaii in 1994 and how I sought God for 11 months and the cry of my heart to know Him, be like Him in character and have more of Him in ministry so others would believe in Jesus Christ. How on November 1st, 1994 God had opened up a truth about the Holy Spirit and how 10 days later I was visited by God walking across a Christian School classroom at 9:00 in the morning.

As I was sharing he began to weep at the table and said, "Oh, I want to be a man like that", which shocked me because I KNEW he was an incredible man of God and his ministry was truly awesome and I was thinking, 'my life has not come close to this in ministry'. I felt I was just BEGINNING so his statement took me by surprise. He was just openly weeping and then he shared this story....

This was in March 1997... he began by saying that a few years before he had invited a famous minister from Mexico to preach Sunday services, morning and night in his church. The church was already strong and many were being saved and discipled. In the morning service as the minister preached, a number of people began laughing with joy in the service. A spontaneous joy broke out among some of the people and the pastor got up and stopped them. He was very upset. After the service he came to the minister from Mexico and said "I don't want to see this nonsense again". Because the invited minister was already scheduled, was so well known and respected and because people were travelling from all over to hear him speak, the pastor didn't feel he could cancel him and send him home.

The minister said, "I didn't do it". The pastor was upset and said, "you can preach tonight but only from the Bible. WE are a church of the Word and we don't want this kind of stuff in this ministry". Of course, the minister from Mexico was ONLY reading from the Bible anyway.

That evening the minister got up to speak and the pastor sat on the stage directly behind him. The minister began his message and all of a sudden about 200 people stood up simultaneously in different parts of the building and just like that, they all collapsed and fell down. Whoosh!!

The pastor rose from his seat and approached the podium to stop this when a voice spoke to him, "Raoul, this is me". He stopped not believing his ears. It was the voice of God that he was familiar with. Again, the voice came, "Raoul, this is me. I am doing this". He couldn't believe it! God did this in the service. He did not understand anything beyond that but he did know one thing. He knew His Father's voice and he knew that it was of the Holy Spirit.

He was weeping as he relived this at the lunch table. He said he immediately began to repent to God in front of the whole church, asked forgiveness for grieving the Holy Spirit and begged God to give him another chance in the ministry. I could not believe what I was hearing. I mean, the pastor was ignorant of this, not intentionally wanting to grieve the Holy Spirit, but in his mind that is how he looked at it. He repented to the visiting minister and was so shaken that he promised NEVER to grieve the Holy Spirit again and humbled himself to give the Holy Spirit freedom in his ministry and in his life and to be teachable and learn.

I sat there watching this man tremble and shake unabashedly weeping and he said, "Earl, I have tried with all my heart since that day to give the Holy Spirit freedom in my life and church and give Him the control of this ministry".
Reverencing the Holy Spirit ... giving Him the control of our lives, churches and ministries. Learning of Him ... not asking Him to bless our agendas, our structures, the way we have set up ministry and services ... plan all we want but at any moment knowing He can come and speak and redirect … letting Him touch the people the way He wants … stay so close to Him and His word that we can recognize it is Him and not be offended at manifestations.

A leader who gets hungrier and hungrier for God and sets the course of passion, models desperation for ALL HE IS AND DOES, is the example of humble yet believing dependence on God. He is willing for the NEW to come and to be taught how to create the wineskin, the new way of thinking that allows the new wine, the fresh release of His presence and power to abide and increase, never trying to do it the same old way.

When I walked into that church that Sunday, I arrived a few hours before and walked into a prayer room with hundreds of people, the pastor and the leadership, all worshipping, praying, establishing their dependence of the Holy Spirit for the evening meeting. When I walked into the service, God was already there. My spirit soared into His presence, I was lost in adoration as everyone was. People moved to the front, knelt at the altar, walked to and fro. There was freedom to love Him and He was free to love the people. People were laughing with the joy of God, weeping loudly or silently, reading the scriptures, prostrate on the carpet, standing with hands outstretched … freedom just to be with God, encounter Him, the real reason to come together. The musicians were lost in His glory, songs were released from heaven, then testimonies of His salvation and healing and even the fruit of going into other cities, evangelizing and building up the other churches!!

The pastor sat in the front row beaming and one time just got up, took the microphone and started loving God, "Bienvenidos, Espiritu Santo", (which means 'welcome Holy Spirit'). At one point he just held his heart and swayed telling Jesus how much he loved him. We are talking thousands of people. It was natural and beautiful. When I got up, I just invited the musicians back up. The program was whatever He wanted (which just might be a more refreshing way of doing church services). I never had such an enjoyable time ministering and did God ever come in ever increasing power and presence.

Maybe we can learn from this ... As pastors and leaders, we OWE the people an encounter with God, we owe it to them. God yearns to encounter us and transform us but it can only happen by the Holy Spirit and there must be a recognition of this and a subjection of the way we have done and are doing life, ministry and church to the Holy Spirit right from the start.

In the Beginning ... GOD ... all was without form and void, all was darkness ... the Bible starts with this ... we should too. And the Spirit of God moved, or hovered lovingly and THEN GOD SPOKE. The person of God should be present, don't you think, before we speak on His behalf? We must value the Presence of God more than anything else and that is what happened to this pastor in Latin America, he got out of the way so he could walk more clearly in the way and see God do unprecedented things in his life and ministry. A lifestyle of yielding, depending on and honoring the Holy Spirit. May we allow this to happen in our lives today.

- We are always looking for an increase in faith, but faith doesn't come out of striving. It comes from surrender.

- If you've ever embraced someone with too much cologne on, you walk away smelling like they do. He's perfectly faithful and when you stay close to Him you walk away with faith. It's the impression of His presence that remains upon you.

- Never be concerned with having too little faith. Be faithful with the faith you have. The loaves didn't become much until Jesus gave thanks for the little. Anything you immerse in thankfulness expands.

- We must be a generation of people willing to step into the unknown. Faith will take us to places that require boldness. If you're not nervous you don't need the Comforter The reason many of us haven't gotten to know the Holy Spirit better than we have is that we live so comfortably that we have no need of the Comforter.

- Eph 4:11-13. Perfection of what God designed us to be here on earth is determined by our revelation of Jesus Christ.

- There are those who would say that we shouldn't pursue an experience but when you get married you don't get the theology of marriage, you enter into an experience. We are called the Bride of Christ. Some would say that in pursuit of experience you're vulnerable to deception but if you're content to live without experience you're already deceived.

- The Lord is inviting you into the journey of discovery Pro 25:2 Believers are those willing to pursue what He has declared is possible. Your royalty becomes manifest in your pursuit of what you have legal right to in the realm of mystery. Eph 1:9, Eph 3:3, Col 1:9,

- John 1:51, Jn 2:11, Jn 3:12, Jn 16:12, Jn 16:15, Jn 17:18, Jn 20:21.

- The Bible doesn't say, with the mind man believes. It says, "With the heart man believes." The Spirit gets restored to God and after that the soul. As the mind, will, and emotions are renewed the body comes into alignment for it is God's ambition that we experience divine health and in that, release divine healing. Your internal reality leaks out to become your external reality.

- The body is a servant of the mind. If the mind will be a servant of the Spirit, the body will be healed.

- 3 John 1:2 says, "I pray above all things that you would proper and be in health even as your soul prospers." If the Spirit in you is in continuous overflow of the presence of God it will have an affect on how you think, the way you think, and the way you deal with emotional situations and as that order takes place on the inside of you the overflow manifests in your physical body. This is why Romans 8:12 says that if the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwells in you He will quicken your mortal body.

- 1 Corinthians 8:1 says that knowledge (mental ascent) puffs up. Revelation knowledge is meant to lead us to life but is dangerous without a divine encounter. It will only equip you to debate with other believers but divine encounter makes that knowledge an expression of life. All of God's judgment is aimed at whatever interferes with His love.

- Mark 6:48 Hunger and desperation will bring you into that greater measure of presence. On the sea, Jesus was walking and intended to pass them by. Their cry of desperation brought His presence. There is a measure of His presence that can only be had by desperation. Hunger beyond reason conditions you to contain the answer once you receive it. Most of what we have the intelligence to ask for, God has willed that we possess in greater measure. God wants to release to us beyond all that we could ask (that's the reach of your prayers) or think (that's the reach of your imagination.) Ephesians 3:20

- The mind is a brilliant student but a horrible leader. The mind is a mirror of a heart that is pure before God. It's like a canvas that God paints on as we pick up the perceptions and thoughts of the Lord. But when the mind is in charge of the Christian life it's called carnal Christianity. Apart from the Spirit, the mind creates form without power, but submitted to the Spirit, the mind is capable of creativity that the world has not yet seen.

- Matt 28:18-20, Haggai 2:7, Only a nation can disciple a nation, and to make that impossible assignment possible He took the one who is called the Desire of all Nations and caused Him to take up residence in us. So then as the nations cry out we become the very answer to their heart's cry. Not that we are the redeemer but with Christ in us we are able to manifest the reality that God has answers for every dilemma in society. God is very interested in restoration and you and I are agents of that change.

- Never confuse your destiny with your assignment. Your destiny is heaven. Your assignment is to bring heaven. My destiny is that I'm going to see Him when I die. My assignment is to bring Him to be seen here and now.

- Mark 8:13 After experiencing the power of Jesus, if I cannot see the unseen, my heart is still hardened and I need that greater desperation. My thinking is not to be anchored into the restriction of this world but of the resources of His world. To access the moving of the Spirit and the anointing to release the Kingdom, learn to see, hear, and remember. Remembering activates your hearing which activates your seeing. Rev 19:10. Whenever you have a spoken or written record of what God has done it carries a prophetic anointing that is released to duplicate the miracle spoken of.

- The word remember means to put together that which has been dismembered. It also is related to the word "male. The man carries the seed of reproduction and when we remember, we take the seed of a past event into a present situation. This goes both ways, in the positive and the negative, depending on what you choose to remember. This is why the renewing of the mind is so necessary for transformation. We choose to remember what God has done and not what He hasn't done.

- You know the mind is renewed when what was formerly seen as impossible is now suddenly possible for "with God all things are possible."

- You were designed and created to live in the glory of God. Pa 84:2

- For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory. What does this verse tell us about God's original target for man? Rom 3:23

- Your salvation has restored you to God's original intent. Christ in you the hope of glory. Col 1:27

- Our ministry is actually to release the glory of the Lord. Learning how to host His Presence means that I have learned how to not grieve and not quench.

- We are to be trained by the presence. 1 Jn 2:27 says it's the anointing that teaches you. We try to learn in our head but it's the presence that retrains us on how to see and how to think and how to flow with the heart of God.

- Don't wait until you need a miracle or you'll develop a servant relationship because servants are task oriented. When He said I no longer call you servants but friends He was drawing them into a deeper relationship. The difference between the two is this. A servant is concerned about disobeying. A friend is concerned about disappointing. If my engagement with God is only for miracles then I have shown myself to be interested in service and not relationship.

- Ps 16:8. I have set the Lord always before me. I take God and put Him right in front of me all day long. Since I can't imagine a place where He isn't I might as well imagine Him with me.

- A goal for us in this day is to learn to carry the glory into public places to where your value of Him outweighs the grief of the sin of those who reject Him. Where your value of the Presence of the Lord is stronger than the weight of the sin of all the people in that room. If your value for Him outweighs the sin that grieves Him you change the atmosphere in that place.
