Evening UK. its 6pm here in sunny california, and has been a very hot day. 37C/99F.
The weekend started off very well with a party at the lake.It was our revival group party there was about 50 of us up at brandy creek lake. we had a bbq and sat and chatted in the shade. izzy went for a swim with her new friends Dave(from romford,uk) and Heidi(from illinois). it was a great day.
In the evening Ad, lil and izzy went to a mexican which is just up the road as Josh and em were out at their party. It was a really nice place and the staff were friendly, we enjoyed being called amigos. The food hmmm ...we didnt really enjoy it. there was so much melted cheese on everything! and it tasted like it had been microwaved. I dont think we will visiting again for a while.
Today we went to church, had a good time of worship, then Bill johnson spoke. Literally everytime he says something people say 'wow', even though we have heard that bit of the bible before he has new revelations for us.
Today he talked aboutTransformation. But 1st he told us about some healing that have happened. In the healing rooms they have started praying for people over skype, and have seen lots of healings.Also someone from the church bought her grandad to the healing rooms, he had lung cancer. NOT ANYMORE! when he got home he went to the doctors and they are so amazed that they are doing tests to see if from him they can find a cure for lung cancer, because people just dont get better that quick. People were calling out in the meeting, 'i know the cure!!'
Anyway back to transformation,here's a few quotes from his sermon-
he said God thinks different from us,
the renewed mind considers a miracle logical.Beni johnson transformation was the biggest hed ever seen, she went to toronto church a lamb, and came home a lion.
I am dead to sin, and dead people cant sin.
faith in christ, thats what transforms the mind,
handleing problems- in every problem is a seed of breakthrough, it depends on how you handle the problem.
rejoice with trembling, if u want joy, you might have to rejoice to get it.
the moment you prayed a scary prayer, the lord put the seed in motion (eg. i wanna see the dead raised)
when you give to the poor, you lend to God-Proverbs 19v17- God has really good interest rates!
