Friday Posting

This week has been one for the books:
1.) We continue to see an increase in God's presence during our meetings. We totally understand that our goal is to glorify Him, not create an "emotional" oasis where we get our flesh touched and excited.

2.) Spiritual warfare is on the increase. We began to see more demonic attacks on the guys. This translates into more time spent in explaining what was going on, to give the men a better understanding of how the enemy works.

3.) These spiritual warfare attacks were very personal and were aimed at places these men were working to break free from. Such as family issues and character defects, we have seen men receive letters and phone calls that gave them bad news. To the man, I have watched them not cower and give up, but come, like Nicodemus at night, and ask "What must I do to fight this?"

4.) God is speaking more through His Word. There is an increase in Bible study and along with it, Bible questions.

5.) I see more men who are falling in love with Jesus. They don't have a lot of answers, but they have a zeal and a passion to learn.

There are a lot of people running around talking about different movements that are happening right now in our country. Some claim that a new renewal is taking place. Some claim that God is doing a new work.

I just know that we are seeing God in a way we haven't seen Him in a long time.
When you deal with the issues that are found in recovery, for God to show up like He has is life.
I make no claim to what God is doing other than God IS at work. I'm not calling it renewal or revival or the next great move. I'm simply calling on God as we worship Him.

Pray for us that we we simply be obedient to what God is doing today.

NEXT MEETING: JUNE 7th----7 p.m. at CHURCH@RAPHA

God on you.......
