Gathered Around the Fire

TNP – July 5, 2012   I came early and played the loft session songs. They seemed to hit at a deeper level than previous times. Don, Andy, and I were well on our way into active soaking by 7:03 Pm Later as others arrived (7:45 pm) If my People… who are called by my name.  Don read chapter one of Critical Mass by Mario Murillo . ”if you are not fulfilling the call of God and the purpose for your life in God you will be bored!”  “You must be willing to become the literal altar, on which the fire falls, commit yourself to be the service of bringing retribution to the enemies of God.”  We followed this with a time of personal reflection and commitment.   We played a variety of worship music (Benny Hinn healing music and others about the Fire of God.  We gathered at the front and shared and prayed. I saw three moving pictures: A close-up of oil being poured over a lamp wick, An extreme closeup of oil filling the recesses of the l...

TNP – June 28, 2012   I came early and played a variety of worship music and created a slide for Don: Prayer… It is not seeking for answers… It is connecting with God, to know HIM who has NO questions. Noble seemed preoccupied or troubled he had been watching the news and the reports of all that is going wrong in the world.  Attention: “All Flyers please CHECK ALL your BAGGAGE AT THE GATE!” “There will be no carry-on baggage allowed on this flight.” Don asked me to walk us all through the process of turning over our baggage to the baggage handler.  It is not enough to be free of the WEIGHT of our baggage, we must replace it with the JOY of the Lord.   We must receive the infilling of the Spirit of God rather than just leaving ourselves empty and swept clean… If we are in debt it is not enough to be debt free; abundant life is more than just breaking even. If we are sick, it is not enough to get better, we need to live in divin...

TNP – June 21, 2012   6:30 pm-7:00 pm I came early and worked on playing “Walk in the Promise” as well as other Bethel songs from the loft series .   7:00 pm-7:30 pm Last week we prayer-walked the neighborhood between Madison Avenue and Main Street.  This week we stayed at the building. We prayed for the corporate meeting next Wednesday night.  David S. -  came back directly from his  Sozo Encounter  in Burnsville.  He also shared the story of receiving a  vision during his Sozo session. When we asked the question Jesus what do you want to give me? He received a  golden censer from the Lord, fitted with a golden chain. The censor grew in his hand until it was 10 times its original size.  The Golden Censor is a symbol of the priesthood but specifically of priestly intercession.   We can expect intercessory prayer to increase in the next season. Perhaps a tenfold increase in prayer.  Thi...

TNP – June 7, 2012   I came early and worked on “Walk in the Promise”  I Played and sang “Walk in the Promise” and then I had to leave for West High School graduation.  I will have to get more from Don later. Chris H came into my office at work today convinced that God is moving in a strong way . He said, “The prophetic is rising in the church and in the people of the church.” “Many are sick because they have not discerned the body of Christ” - I Corinthians 10

TNP – May 24, 2012, Ziklag - chasing the enemy to recover what was lost We started out by watching Bethel's music “ The Loft Sessions ” DVD.    We met in the upstairs classroom area since the baby shower for Jennifer K. was going on downstairs.   Andy G. was lost in worship right from the get-go, and Don and I were enjoying the video of people passionately worshiping with a sense of joyful exuberance. We watched and worshiped God for most of an hour. Don mentioned something about David (King of Israel) strengthening himself in the Lord.  David S. -  I heard the Lord say “at Ziklag - everything is recovered”  David and his men had just come back from a victorious raid, they arrived home on the third day only to find out that their enemies had come in and taken everything that was precious to them;  their wives, their sons, their daughters, their flocks, their herds, and all their household goods. The men were ready to ston...

TNP – APRIL 26, 2012 During the soaking time, we used Don’s new CD  ‘Sessions from The Loft” music from Bethel Church 1.        Andy G  – the families built the wall around Jerusalem section by section until it was halfway up.  2.        Noble H   - mentioned that Ian & Crystal want to get together with them and hear Nobles' dream. 3.        Phil H – Prefaced his remarks with he had a word that he had been sitting on for some time.  His word was about Immediate obedience , “when we hear God we need to be ready to say what God says right then .”  I encouraged him that that was a word for him personally, and it may be a word for others as well but to walk that out personally now. It has been a word for his life since I started talking with him in early 2000.  To walk in it, however, he will need to know who he is in Christ. 4.   ...

TNP - Thursday 4-19-2012 Going Beyond the Veil Long soaking time this week. We listened to Jesus Culture Live in Chicago for the most part;  The whole idea of soaking is to leave the world and its concerns outside and enter in. To incline our ears to hear what the LORD is saying.  Don and I discussed having more instrumental music. Zachary - We prayed for Zachary (6 yr. old, with brain tumor//chemo) and Mindy Hoffman (mom) Jean M  - was back with us, she encouraged us that this (what we are doing) was about to explode and spread and that it was very important. David P   - said that there was a presence or a light immediately appeared as I started to play, but when I left the room to tune the guitar it faded quickly. Don – keyed in on the BOLDNESS David - Shared a new song written on 4-15-2012   “There’s Glory Behind the Veil”  (see attached) ·          A veil remains over their hea...
