How was your day after Christmas? It was a wonderful day for us as we served in a unique opportunity to walk out  the subject of our prayers.

History for those who are new to this story...

This year it seemed obvious to be a part of the Dakota 38+2 ride for remembrance.  Since we had been praying for reconciliation since august 4th of this year right up until today. It was with great pleasure that we helped feed about 350 Dakota and friends who took part in the final trek from Land of Memories park into Mankato and finally arriving at the Monument in Reconciliation Park, the site of the infamous simultaneous hanging of 38 Dakota Braves.

I was honored to walk at the back of the pack of walkers, For the last mile I threw a blanket over my left shoulder and carried it, for a woman who was growing tired of carrying it. We arrived with the long string of cars that followed the riders and walkers. I am sorry I cannot provide any pictures here perhaps some of my brother's will help me with that. 

I stood in front of a couple of young ladies at the ceremony at reconciliation park and over heard Lisa telling her friends Nicole and her dad, that this marked the darkest day of her people's history. That thought stuck with me through the afternoon. 

After the ceremony we moved to Belgrade Methodist church building in North Mankato and there a team of 20+ individuals prepared a meal for the 350 or so that showed up. I am not sure of the total quantity of food prepared but I do know we made 250 cups of coffee for that meal.  It was here that I actually met Lisa and her friend Nicole and had a chance to talk with them. We were able to share some of the thoughts of the day.  Lisa, I hope you found the web site, if so welcome and stay in touch. I met John  teacher from St. Paul School district as well. Welcome John if you were able to visit us here. Check back from time to time.

  2, 22, 222, 2222 - Keys to the House of David This Facebook post from Johnny Enlow was sent to me by a friend two years ago and I ran across it again today.  So in good fun, I repost it here.  OK, so the 2's have it. So many of you have apparently been seeing a lot of 222 and 2222 as well and are wondering as to what the Lord might be saying there. Three scriptures that I get for this are: Eph. 2:22,  Rev. 22:2 and  Acts 2:22.  Eph. 2:22 is about us being built into a dwelling place for God.  Rev. 22:2 is about being trees of life that bring healing to the nations.  Acts 2:22 is about being a person of signs, wonders, and miracles.  All three go together and as you see the 222 you are being reminded that you are one that is to carry the power and presence of God everywhere you go.  Life of the supernatural is yours to step into as you host Him. Seeing 2222 at key times is about Isaiah. 22:22. This is the passage about ...

This post is about my reoccurring connection to the Minnesota Miracle and how God has kept the dream alive for a revival in Minnesota that He wants to bring to birth.  October 1971 - Minnesota Miracle Seventeen years old and on my way to a weekend retreat at Camp Courage. There I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit on Friday night with many other young people. The rest of that weekend was supernatural, none of us (over 100 high school and college students) showed up at the dining hall to eat, many of us did not sleep, we sought the Lord continuously for three days from Friday evening until Sunday at Noon . God was present in a tangible way as the Spirit hovered over our camp. We all left there changed by the power of the Holy Spirit.  The speaker that weekend was Dick Eastman he went onto North Central Bible college in downtown Mpls. Monday to lead their morning chapel service, that chapel service lasted for three days! Monday 8 AM - Wednesday 7 PM. The Bible sc...

A WRINKLE IN TIME... another JESUS PEOPLE movement?

First the Natural...  The Jesus People Church in Minneapolis begun in 1972, came out of the REVIVAL meetings held 7 days a week for several weeks at Souls Harbor, Downtown Minneapolis in the fall of 1971.  Coincidentally, the congregation at the renewed Jesus People Church now in Rogers, MN set aside Friday, May 2, 2014, for a Jesus People Church Reunion.  They invited all those who were part of the Jesus People Church in Minneapolis during the 70s and 80s; as part of that congregation in the past, my wife and I received a personal invitation to attend. But we did not go the gala event at a ritzy hotel in Minneapolis. Then the Spiritual!  The same weekend, I also received a personal invitation for Saturday, 5/3/14 to hear Cindy Jacobs at the House Church at 2024 Rahn Road in Eagan, MN. She prophesied that night "another Jesus People Movement" to come. As I sat in that "physical place where I had been one of the Jesus People church elders 25 years earl...
