I wish for this one moment the men were a bit more like the women -- as when women got up and shared what transpired -- they gave some details....most of these men only shared, " I am free".....LOL.
I wish I could see WHAT will transpire in the homes of these men over the next few days as they WALK in this new freedom.
I wish everyone I know - could experience the joy and journey these men embarked upon.
I wish I could afford to send EVERY one of my brothers -- even fly them down from Wisconsin!!! I really would if I could......
I wish my husband would of MADE it into this photo -- LOL! Where or Who knows where he was? Outside - greeting visitors......ah but no worries. I can totally see how being a leader at this Encounter has deepened his relationship with God!
I wish you could of seen my face when I witnessed my Father - n- Law 'dance in a sort of make shift Conga line'....that has NEVER happened before. And he clapped WITH the beat -- miracles happen!
I wish you could of heard my friend Don...as he spoke about WHAT he received as being a leader -which brought us all to tears...but then laughter as another fellow then - 'carried' him off the stage! What laughter!!
I wish I would of recorded the CHANT when Doc got up to share and how his 'dirty underwares' were now clean....oh LORD -- What a miracle within his life alone ..but to now see him set free of strongholds and we get to WITNESS what YOU are going to do through him....I am in tears - thinking of all of YOUR signs and wonders -- that I will get to see as You shine in his life!
I wish all the women within my circle of friends and prayer warriors could experience what I did - when my husband came home from the Encounter and WE shared and talked about his experience as a leader and then I was able to share mine again ....and how we had such similar experiences with God -- and HOW that bonded us even together -- further....more healing!!
I wish for every woman that sat in that service this morning -- longing for their husband to go to an Encounter -- to have the HOPE that their husband will....soon!
I wish....
I wish..
Oh Wait......I know ----
Lord, I pray -- I pray -- that you will indeed allow us to do this again....that those women that I pray for and with....WILL see their husbands attend the next MEN's Encounter and be set free.
I pray for the men that wanted to attend this past Encounter but were unable too -- will wait patiently and soon - another one will be scheduled!
I pray for YOUR will to be done Lord....
I thank you again for the time of my own Encounter and WHAT you did in me. I thank you for my husband's Encounter and for the opportunities we have had to be leaders in the recent Women's and Men's Encounters. I thank you for 'new family' that was in the audience today -- that experienced a taste of WHAT YOU can do. I pray they will return - and FALL back in love with you -- or WANT to be closer to you! I thank you -- for a Pastor and Wife....that had a 'life crisis'...which changed them....so it changed what they did and HOW they ministered...which changed me...and now I get to see it change others....
There is NO HIGH - like a Jesus high.
There is NOTHING sweeter than when you pray for another and you see strongholds leave...there is NOTHING greater than to know -- God USED you in the life of another - and now that life is in the Lamb's Book of LIfe.God -- the words DO NOT give you the glory needed.....
God - YOU win...YOUR glory fell tonight...
YOUR glory - was in our place at church this eve....
YOUR glory will continue to shine within these families that are now forever changed because there is a FREED UP man within them and among them...
Lord, I pray as Pastor DAve did - that these men will KEEP their freedom and KEEP their bibles open - seeking and honoring you.
Lord, thank you -- I thank you that I don't have to WISH....I just pray.
In YOUR name...amen.
PS Lord -- I really felt that after the Women's Encounter -- 'how could YOU top THAT Celebration??....and YOU did tonight'....seriously.....
It is sort of like children - right ? You can never really 'love one child more than another'...they are both equal and yet different and yet STILL the same.....
I can't even imagine WHAT transpired within your Heaven and its HOST of angels this evening....did you all sit around and LOOK down upon us and have an incredible party too?
And Lord - what happened when 3 baptisms turned into 7 or 8? .....
Touching. YOU ROCK God. YOU win. I am honored and humbled -- YOUR love never fails...and it never ceases to amaze me! God, YOU amaze me. All I wanted was my husband to love you again like he did as a young adult ...all I wanted was to be in ministry with him....and to know that YOU were looking about me and saying, "atta girl"....I am humbled, loved, forgiven, redeemed...speechless -- full of tears of joy ....but still ...WANTING to just praise YOU. YOU truly love me 'that much'....and the glory of it all -- YOU love him that much - YOU love Frank...Doc...Brandon...Greg....Kelly....Rudy...and the REST...THAT much and YOU love Phillip...and Eli.... Alex...and the others...that I continue to hold before you - THAT much too -- it is amazing. Oh wait -- that is cause YOU are God!!! The Alpha and the Omega....thank you!
- your daughter, Michelle
