28-FEB-2014
For the past couple of weeks our focus has been on making faith based declarations, while we are comfortable culturally with making prayer requests to God both individually and corporately, Jesus and the disciples would declare a healing, or issue a command, "take up your bed and walk', "Lazarus, come forth!"  Like I said, this makes us a bit uncomfortable.

In essence true worship songs, extol God and stir up faith. Some Scripture songs make declarations about who God is and declare the various attributes of God. 


It wasn't pre-planned, but we started with worship Phil Hess played the piano, Aaron and I played guitar,  as we all gathered around and sang.. We stayed there for perhaps 45 minutes and sang  Breathe, Psalm 91, Slip behind the Veil, and Lord you are Glorious.then moved down into the circle and worshiped for another 30 minutes or so singing a spontaneous songs from a few weeks ago.
We added several verses to it as each person brought out their favorite name of God. 

Andy sang a new song to the Lord, to the chords from Times of Refreshing Aaron played guitar with me all night and kept up pretty well without music or words to follow.  

Don lead us in reading one of the Audacious Declarations responsively. 

I shared about John 3:16 and expanded on it since not everyone was in the Growth group the night before and because I had been living with it on my heart now for the last 24 hours. 

We prayed for a few individuals and for the region and after worshiping and declaring, the prayer took on stronger, bolder aspect, closer to declaring a thing instead of requesting a thing. 

All in all a very powerful night with the brothers. I am looking forward to doing it again.

  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...
