Cuba 2015

Well, words cannot express the experience we had in Cuba.  The glory of the Lord was in the place.  It was so heavy and so tangible that I could hardly minister when I stood up.  I tried to allow God to do what He wanted to do without rushing it, and He is so good to the people of Cuba and to all of us if we would just have faith, trust Him, and seek His face.  Those folks have nothing to hold on to but GOD!  Because of that He inhabits their praises; NOT a visitation, but a habitation...there is a difference!  We need to understand and see that difference here in the United States.  

We flew in and the first day we just got acclimated to our surroundings.  We stayed in an unbelievable place and were so grateful for the place and the people who took care of us.  The next day was our first trip to the church.  I was up early, which is not usual, and spent some time in the Word.  Each morning we had breakfast together in the house and we got an opportunity to speak a short word at the service.  Worship was awesome and the word was great by their young pastor!  We stayed late after church developing relationships with the staff and taking a look at their operations.  They are extremely talented and dedicated to the work of the ministry and the expansion of the kingdom.  Many young people are involved in leadership positions.  

The next day we did a leadership training with some coaches and athletes.  It was an awesome time and they want us to come back in October to speak to a larger group from all over the country during a conference.  The next day, we went back to the church for more leadership training.  When we walked in, the church was packed!  I thought that only a few folks would be there, but you see, they get it, EVERYONE, is a leader!  This was the day when the tangible glory of the Lord was present the most!  The weight of His glory healed, set free, and delivered.  It was incredible.  Please take a look at the photos and enjoy the experience that way, but know, that it was more wonderful than I can explain.  Thank you for praying and considering investing in the kingdom work of this ministry.  Our current fundraising goal is 30 people at $100 a month.  The Lord will bless you in your giving and do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask, think, or imagine.  Thanks for your prayers, contributions, and obedience to the Spirit.  Bless you!

What you say

The Lord has been speaking this to me lately through His word: "you shall have what you say," and "you shall have what you desire."  It is not that name it claim it type of doctrine that we once had in Christendom.  It is more, whatever you believe in your heart will come out of your mouth, so put some good things in your heart and allow the Lord to put some good things in your heart, so they can come out of your mouth.  Did you get that?  The trouble with my last statement is that we don't know what to say sometime and we speak death most often over ourselves and over our own lives.  I have been memorizing Scripture with one of my coaches I disciple (He and I are having a blast by the way), and Joshua 1.8 tells us,"this book of instruction (law) must not depart from your mouth. Recite it day and night. Be careful to observe all that is written in it.  Then you will be prosperous and succeed in whatever you do."  Did I get it right...look it up for me. :)  Deuteronomy 6.6,7 tell us, "the words I have given you today are to be in your heart. Repeat them to your children.  Talk about them when you are in your house and when you walk on the road, when you lie down and when you get up."  Check again to see if I got it right!  Get to the point Dee.  Ok, it is that we MUST hide the word in our hearts so we can know the word, so it can come out of our mouths, so we can repeat it to our children and everywhere we go so we can carefully observe the laws of God and be prosperous and succeed in whatever we do!  Now shout on that right there!!!!  Now the pastor is coming out of me...if you never speak God's Word outside of a church setting, you are sinning...plain and simple!  You are breaking God's law because I just told you that you are supposed to always have it in your mouth.  Get that Word in you today and you will be changed forever!
