Goiania, Brazil

I have just returned from Brazil and I have to say, WOW...God is moving there. I have never seen revival on a national level like this. Churches all over the country are exploding with growth. The passion of the people is astounding. The young people are going into the ministry by the thousands. The depth and quality of the worship is amazing. My last stop was a city called Goiania. I ministered in a church of 15,000 members called Videira. My last service was Tuesday morning and it was full of hundreds of pastors, bible school students and visitors.. After I preached, I agreed to pray for everyone that wanted to come forward. They pressed in like cattle in a stampede and the alters looked like a battlefield before it was over. There was an open heaven and a heavy anointing...I was doing all I could do to stay standing myself. I love the presence of God. I have posted more pictures and notes on the Cover the Earth blog (www.CoverTheEarthUpdates.BlogSpot.com) or visit www.CoverTheEarth.org and click on the "Blog" link. Thank you all for your prayers. You are a blessing.

Next Prophetic Seminar

Hello to everyone,

Thank you to everyone who came out this past Saturday for the seminar and everyone who came out on Sunday. I was talking to someone this past week, and asked how the seminar went. I said that it was incredible! They continued and asked how many people attended. I said around 10 people showed up. All of a sudden I saw a disappointment come over their face almost if they were confused. They asked if I was ok with that. I immediately smiled and said, yes. I continued with saying that it doesn't matter how many people come or who all comes. I trust that in the Father's perfect leadership that He sends the people to each seminar that need to be at that particular seminar. So I said, no I'm not concerned because I know God has these people in a specific place in their lives for such a time as this.

I say this because some of you have come to me and apologize for missing one seminar or another. While I'll appreciate your conviction, I trust that Holy Spirit knows what He is doing.

In conjunction with that, I realize that over the summer people go on vacations and have plans. However, we will continue to press on with the seminars. Our next one will attentively be Saturday, June 23rd at 2:00 pm in our main building. So grab those pens and markers, and mark your calendars.

I also want to extend my gratitude and appreciation for you all. I had someone come up to me and tell me what a wonderful group we have and how nice it is to have a safe place where they can just be themselves, learn, and not be afraid to ask questions. Keep up the good work you guys! You're awesome!

May the Lord bless each and everyone of you. And be sure to tell your friends and family members to come out if they can too!

Waiting on the world to change

A few weekends ago at CCF we watched a Christian video to John Mayer's song, "Waiting on the World to Change" and I was surprised and found it slightly ironic. Ironic because he has initiated a movement for environmentalism where the goal is people making small steps toward making their world better and cleaner, through little things every year. He calls it Another Kind of Green.

I was thinking about it today--and the message of that video--that we as the Church can do that as well, for the Kingdom. I sometimes feel overwhelmed when I think about all that needs to be done: all the prayers that need to be prayed, all the captives that need to be set free, all the hearts that need to be moved. But I guess that's the beauty of the body of Christ. Each person, with the help of the Holy Spirit, can use their unique talents and giftings to bring our world one step closer to the Knowledge of God.

None of us has to do it all. And it's so easy to get hung up on that, give up, and end up not doing anything at all. CCF is dedicated to a movement of believers spreading the Kingdom through unique individuals. I think that's what Pastor Russ says each and every time I see him, in some form or another.
Jesus gave us the Holy Spirit corporately and individually so that we can do even greater things (John 14:12).
If all of us were wholehearted about even just one thing, no matter how big or small, it would surely make a difference.
