Last evening our church, New Beginnings Fellowship in Hernando, Florida (link)hosted a one night only Miracle Meeting with Evangelist Roger Webb (link). Roger has had a great increase in signs, wonders and miracles released in his meetings over the past few years. Last night's results were off the charts! Roger is not a "Big Name" but he moves in a simple, humble, non-hype anointing that is powerful! We observed miracle after miracle take place. It is so much fun to watch people come forward, not expecting a thing to happen to them, and all of a sudden their pain is gone! I love it!
Last night two ladies came into the meeting when it was just about over, maybe 15-20 minutes left. I knew one of the ladies had some very serious health issues going on so I asked her to go forward. She had never been in a meeting like that before and was a little afraid. She did go up though and when Roger began to minister to her she said, "I want prayer for my sick brother." Roger said, "OK, but you are here right now and I want to pray for you!" She allowed Roger to pray for her. She had been in pain in her lower body, from her hips down, for 9 years, with the pain over the past 5 years being constant and severe! What a joy it was to see her face as she said, "It's gone!" She began to move her leg and foot in an upward motion, something that she'd not been able to do for several years! She began to cry with joy! You can't fake that! It was awesome!
OK, now to the title of this post... Why is it important to move in miracles in your church? If you are a pastor I've got sad news for you! I'm one now, so I know what it is that I'm speaking... Your sermon's are not changing your Town! God never called us to preach....can you please show me one New Testament verse where it says something like, "Thus says the Lord... Thine pastor is to preacheth every Sunday morning!" Hummm ... I can't find that one! How about you?
However, I do take strong notice of the fact that we are to advance the Kingdom of God in our regions! Let me talk specifically about Corinne and I, New Beginnings Fellowship and Citrus County, Florida. God has called us here to come into loving relationships with a neat group of people. We are called their pastors, but the truth of the matter is that we are really their facilitators! Our jobs as shepherds is to lead them to green grass, there the sheep can feed themselves! Interesting huh?
Yet, there remains our region, for now Corinne and I see it as only Citrus County, it may be larger though. God has send us here to help the Body of Christ in this location to enter into and sustain true Kingdom Revival! In short we are to advance the Kingdom of God. How is that done? We feel that the Lord has called us here to "press the envelop!" That means we wish to "stir the pot" a lot, keeping the water in it boiling hot. God always gives us the job of releasing signs, wonders and miracles for just that purpose. God always confirms His word with signs, wonders and miracles. Last night was just a great confirmation that the vision that we are releasing in this region is from the Lord!
We keep "hitting it" folks! We no longer have the luxury of just being a pew sitter! In case you haven't discovered it yet, those days are gone! I assure you that if you refuse to get with God's program you will be left behind! Hummmmm....maybe in more ways that one!
Come on... quit listening to the "doom and gloom" preachers, the so called prophets of destruction. I keep hearing Revival! Get your eyes off of all the things wrong with Obama, Hillary, Congress, General Motors, Fanny Mae, California, unemployment numbers, and all of the rest. Turn your eyes upon Jesus!
In 1922 a lady by the name of Helen Lemmel wrote a popular song.... Maybe we should all sing it again today, in remembrance of the One who's in control of it all! To sing the song please click on this link: http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/t/u/turnyour.htm
