I've been going through all my footage from the year and came across this. I had to through this together and share it with you guys. Hope it makes you smile.
Over a year ago I was in Thai- Land and I had an experience in Bangkok's maximum secure prison that wrecked me. I wrote a blog about it on 9/21/07 called "Window 17-through the glass and bars." Please read it for the context of the letter below.
I felt lead to give a prisoner Named Vanessa a book called, "The Heavenly Man" by Brother Yun from China.(must read if you haven't)
One year later, and Vanessa has just now received the book due to the slow process and difficulty of giving anything to prisoners. She then wrote me this letter that took nearly 7 weeks to reach me here in the US! I received it over thanksgiving.
October 6th 2008
Dear Sean,
I apologize for only writing to you now. The reason for my late reply to your book that you have given me is it just reached me. I thank God that I received it. I thought that Susan forgot completely but I thank God for the prayer you wrote in the book. You said "I pray that this book reach you." You see it is always good to pray about everything. Thank you so much for Brother Yun's book. I am half way through it and it is really wow! He is a real encourager. Thank you so much. Always I recieve the scripture you left with me, and that is 2 Corinthians 12:9-10. Please continue to pray for me. Pray for my Royal Kings Pardon to reach the king before December and that it will be granted. Also I am trying to submit a parole. Please pray that God will be-stow favor upon me and let the embassy sign for me and also that department of correction will grant permission. I remain with 4 years so if God allow me to go out on parole I will immediately qualify for good behavior deduction. That is 5 days a month for the 14 years I've stayed here. So that will deduct 3 years and 45 days. That will leave me with less than one year to stay in Bangkok before I could return home to South Africa. I will be staying with Mrs. Holmes so please pray for me, especially for my ambassador Douglas Gibson and the legal department in my country to give support.
Sean, I really enjoyed talking with you as well. You really encouraged me in all you are doing. May God continue to you use you powerfully. Maybe one day God will permit me to give my testimony in your church in USA. Sean look at me being so selfish just asking you to pray about my concerns and not even asking how you are doing. I am sorry, please forgive me. I hope you are well and prospering in every area of your life. I hope your family are doing well and that God is taking care of them. I would love to know How you are serving God and all that is transpiring in your life since I last saw you. I am doing much better and that is all to the glory of God. He has been really my strength. My daughter is fine and will be turning 14 years old on Oct. 31st, 08. I am really blessed to have her. She is such a wonderful child and is growing in the Lord.
We are still serving the Lord. We had transfers to other prisons so all our strong Christians have been scattered all over the other prisons. We THANK GOD because now they will be able to spread the Gospel. We are having new Christians and we are training them to be strong. Also pray that more will come to know the Lord. Today we thank God that at least we have new Christians who receive Christ. Please pray for us! I really hope it is Gods will to release me from this situation.
Sean may God continue to prosper you in all that you do for the Lord and in your life. May the Lord strengthen you and lead and guide you all of your days.
Like my last blog I tend to write a lot when I feel like I'm overflowing with passion, love, or revelation. Thank you for taking the time to read what I write!- This one should be an easy read.
My last two blogs was one stroke of the brush in a big picture that the Lord has been painting on my heart.
The following is a vision that was given from the Lord. I'm not going to disclose who received this vision because I believe it would be a distraction. The message is a crucial component to all that I've already written. It's all about love...It's the foundation, and I believe it's a word for many of you!
"When my Father moves His little finger, the whole universe trembles. To shake the nations with your words does not impress anyone who dwells here in Heaven. But when the least of my brethren on earth shows love, It brings joy to My Father's heart. When even the most humble church sings to My Father with true love in their hearts, He silences all of heaven to listen to them. He knows that one (angels or otherwise) cannot help but to worship when they are beholding His glory here, but when those who are living in such darkness and difficulty sing with true hearts to Him, it touches Him more than all of the myriads of heaven can.
Many times the broken notes from earth have caused all of heaven to weep with joy as they beheld My Father being touched. A few holy ones from earth struggling to express their adoration for Him have many times caused Him to weep. Every time I see my brethren touch Him with true worship, it makes the pain and grief I knew on the cross seem like a small price to pay. Nothing brings Me more joy than when you worship My Father. I went to the cross so you could worship Him through Me. It is in this worship that you, the Father, and I are all one."
To give my Father joy for just one moment would have been worth going to the cross. Your worship can cause Him joy everyday. Your worship when you are in the midst of difficulties touches Him more than all of the worship of heaven. Here, where His glory is seen, the angels cannot help but to worship. When you worship without seeing His glory, in the midst of your trails, this is worship in Spirit and truth.
Do not waste your trails! Worship the Father-not for what you will get, but to bring Him joy. You will never be stronger than when you bring Him joy, for the joy of the Lord is your strength."
If any of you have known me during these past few years, I'm sure you can laugh at the thought of how passionate I can get. Especially if you've made it through watching any of my "rambling of the heart" videos. I've laughed at myself as I've recently watched some of my videos. I thought to myself the other day, " I sure did let it all hang out." =) It's amazing to look at myself from only 6-8 months ago and see how I've grown. Making those videos was the most effective way for me to express myself, and the most freeing.
I'm not fond of cable TV. It's scary what the media is feeding people these days. Human-beings weren't designed to have all the worlds issues funneled into their TV room. And what's going on with the movies and shows these days? You somehow feel like you've accomplished something if you found something good to watch. Additionally, I've always been discouraged by the presentation of the Christian art's, especially when I was a non Christian. I really didn't like Christian music and still don't like a lot of it. The music and media presentation can come across as fake or cheesy sometimes- and most of it seems to only reach the "Christian" community. Until the recent presentation of the Passion of Christ the best thing out there was the Jesus film with the stereotypical Jesus, and it looking like it was filmed back in the 50's. Does that mean this stuff is bad? No. My point is there is more and I so badly want God to be fully represented!
The Lord has been doing something in me for a long time now in the arena of videography. I've never been confident in it because I've never had schooling for it. But that's changed with recent events.
I recently heard a story of a young man in Europe who said, "Christianity is going down, down, down in England- it's all religion!! And you know what...I believe the marketing directors of Christianity in Europe should be FIRED!" I laughed out one side of my mouth, and cringed at the same time because it's true!
Why do some of "us," us meaning Christians, cringe at the notion of attaching ourselves to anything mainstream Christian. When people ask me if I'm a Christian, I'm already thinking of how I'm going to explain I'm a Christian who believes in miracles, signs, and wonders. I have a glass of bear and wine on occasions and say four letter words at times. I go to church but I don't go to "church" all the time, mainly because I believe I am the church. Then the question comes what denomination are you? And all I can say is "none- I just love Jesus, but I see people get healed by the power of God and I hear his voice!"
Even being called a "Christian" can have an inaccurate and negative connotation to it- at least for me. If people don't agree with miracles or my love for Jesus, that's fine!! But when people think I judge them because they don't listen the the "right" music, wear the "right" clothes, or go to church on Sunday, then I have a problem! I understand people's hang-ups about the Christian world. I even believe God does. But please catch my heart!!! This is not condemnation or complaining. I'm just saying, there is more and we must be aware of how we are being perceived as Christians or non-Christians!!! This is just my feedback. ;) I believe God must be grieved at times at how bad we can miss represent him, I know I miss represent Him at times. But I believe some of the misrepresentation comes from our presentation; and a lot of it is done through the media and arts.
The arts were made for the sons of man to be excellent at and to give glory to God! Not to be ruled by reality TV and everything else. I believe there are many people in the non-Christian community giving awesome and incredible glory to God. People like these three young men who created a movement called Invisible Children by going to Africa and filming a documentary about child soldiers in Uganda: I don't even know if they're a part of the Christian community or not. It doesn't matter and I don't care! I love these guys and what they're doing! This is one of there recent trailers. (it's only 1 1/2 minute)
There's a saying, "be the the change you want the world to be!" This doesn't stop at making an obvious observation and sharing it with people on my blog. And I won't attempt to correct error and create more error. Instead I'm going to apply myself. I want to be a part of taking back the mouth peace known as media, arts, and politics, in whatever way I can. I believe they were created and intended for good and to be done with excellence! People are hungry and are tired of all the crap-they long to be inspired!
I realize I'm not the first one who's had the idea to be a voice for the voiceless. I realize I'm not the first one who's made the same observation as I have. However, Instead of wasting time watching needless things on TV and allowing my conscious awareness to be taken by things that don't matter, or ever complaining about being board or having nothing to do, I'm going to apply myself and learn. I don't have schooling for this, but we live in time where you don't have to. Everything is at our disposal via Internet and networking. Everything I need couldn't be more available. It's a matter of discipline and staying connected to the root from whom all good, perfect, and new things flow. There's something inside of me that I have to get out, and the Lord has showed me this is another component of my voice. Another tool in my toolbox or leg to stand on! This doesn't mean that I'm now a videographer and that's my new direction. It's more of an addition to my overall self and focus. And it's going to be work!
There are too many things on TV that DO NOT MATTER! And to many stories that aren't being told THAT DO MATTER! When I was in the nations I remember thinking to myself many times, "why isn't this stuff being told?" – Then I looked in the mirror and thought, "yea Sean why not, huhh?" Honestly, this has less to do about reaching the "world" with videography, because I'd rather not be known, but more to do with getting off the bench and saying "I'll fight, I'll go, I'll speak." I see and perceive things a certain way. And I always thought if I could bring forth in the natural what I see in my mind and heart, I know people would listen! This is modern day evangelism. But I love old school too ;).
I have been working with a music producer and composer from LA who's around my age. I've never met someone with such a gift of excellence in music. He plays almost every instrument and composes some of the most complex and multi-faceted compositions I've ever heard. He quite literally pulls music down from heaven. He told me a few months ago, "the secular world has figured out what the ‘Christian' world has forgotten; and that's excellence and discipline. But it's grieves me because so many talents are being stolen and twisted."
When I look at the people who are around me something inside me gets stirred up, because I see such potential. These are some of the most talented people I ever met and they share the same heart, and we're coming not just to compete, we're coming to take back whats been stolen!!
I don't know how this will look! Realistically, application is always the hardest component of anything. But...I'm going to steward this thing day after day, and make it as sharp as I can and elicit all the help I can get. I already have a good start with gear and software, even though I need a lot more to do what I hope to do. But, in time =)
I've been getting lots of e-mails and
messages from friends asking, "Where are you? What's going on?" I
guess it's time for an update =)
I'll begin by stating that the recent season in my life has taken me to
a new level of awareness and humbleness. I thought I understood
certain truths like, sacrifice/obedience, faith, and persecution. I had
no idea! Even what I know now is only in part. I rejoice because of
these things. For example, as people have judged me I've realized how
much I have judged others in my life. Words seem to fail at ushering in
the entirety of all that I've learned and experienced. But I'm
continually compelled to share and testify. I've submitted to the fact
that I can't share and give away everything. But, I believe it's best
to try.
For the past 4 months I've been working on a Presidential Campaign
with a candidate whom few of you know. His name is Jonathan Allen.
How I met him and how I ended up on his campaign team is a very long
story. Overall, Jonathan is a pure and true man of God who fears and
loves the Lord. He's someone who has inspired me, and whom I've grown
to love and respect. He's someone that believes David's can still bring
down Goliath's. Jonathan was my vote for President.
My main focus/job on the campaign team was videography as one of
the Media Directors (funny huhh). Below is one of the short films I
put together. We had very limited resources but I hope you enjoy.
The Last thing I want to do is get into politics or discuss why and how
someone like Jonathan could or chould not become president. We just don't have the
time to go there! But, as this season seemingly comes to a close there
are simple but profound peaces of treasure (or revelation) that I've
obtained. Most of it no one can see or will ever know but there are
two I want to discuss briefly. Well, maybe one...I'll save the other for another day. =)
1) Obedience: I remember when I was in Africa
I heard a man (Steve Kinsley) say, "Sometimes the only reward for your
obedience is obedience." I remember it not making a whole lot of sense
to me at the time, but even then I knew it was truth. Now, I believe I
understand it more in full. Joining a Presidential Campaign is the
last thing I would ever do! I've always been turned off by politics!
But that's not the point. The point is God gave me a choice to follow Him down a very narrow road, and if I chose wisely He would bless me greatly. It wasn't easy! As best as I know my heart, I
counted the cost and knew what it would mean if I went. I remember
very clearly what it was like to be a Christian and not hear God's
voice! What it was like to never experience anything supernatural like
healings and His manifest presence. I remember what it felt like to be
in the dark even when I claimed to have such light. I used to think to
myself, "if I ever heard the voice of God or experienced anything like
a miracle I would never let that go- I would NEVR FORGET!"
That feeling of being in the Dark, in all truth, wasn't that long
ago. So when God say's "go"....I go. Joining Jonathan on the Campaign
team was the toughest option, but I believe it was the wisest. I know
I can trust God above all else, no matter how crazy it seems to the
world or even me.
Part of my reward is I can say, "I have been faithful, I have been
obedient." God has given me such grace in my weakness. He met me
everyday despite my faults and imperfections. He met me in new and
crazy ways. I've experienced more of His presence than I ever did on
the race. The more I needed Him, the more He showed up. What an
amazing Father!
In a day God can accelerate your life! Give you world influence, favor
of kings, queens, and presidents. Make you the mouth-peace for the
millions who can't speak for themselves. He can put you on a "high
way" in a second. In that moment there is nothing more you can do to
prepare, no more time to store up your obedience or faithfulness; and,
no way to take it away. You either have oil in your lamp or you
don't (Mathew 25). Obedience is a key to the gate of authority, but I believe love
and humbleness gives you access.
I'm more desperate for God than I've ever been. I'm continually in pursuit of being completely concurred by Him.
Psalm 14:2 "The Lord looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God." Thank you to all my friends and family who have supported, believed, and loved me during this season!!!
It's amazing how things can come full circle! One moment you are on the race and the next you are helping train 50 people to go around the world. While I was in Seattle I was asked to help with the World Race training in August for the squad that leaves in October. Of course I said yes. I've desired to be a part of the training for quite some time now. Truth is I've thought about these 50 people while I was on the race. They didn't know me and I didn't know them, but when I was in various countries I thought of them.
Allison Johnston is going to lead this crazy group of 50 people. She is by far the best leader for this team. She is the right women for this hour. Allison was my leader and all I can say is keep your eyes open because you're going to see the Lord move through her and her teams!
"I am going for YOU. Every single one of you that is sitting in a cubicle dreaming of more. Every one of you that is home with the kids. Every one of you that has student loans to pay, classes to attend, families to take care of, and bills to pay. All of you that believe in something more. All of you that KNOW the God of love and want to share Him...This is for you"
"She prays audibly, something along the
lines of, "may she feel You bubbling over from her stomach". i feel
her hand rest on my back a little while more and then she moves on. at
that point, i think, "that's it?" mostly though, i continue to ask
(silently) for more of Him. as i open my mouth to pray aloud, i'm
literally dumbfounded and i can't form the words. My tongue went numb and my jaw stiffened up a bit. and for the
next hour or so (according to erin & bev) i'm praying in tongues.
God gave me a prayer language, and i have no idea what i'm praying, but
i'm praying anyhow. it feels like i might never stop and the more i
pray, i'm practically kissing the concrete floor." Sara Choe (Oct 08-World Racer)
"I told her about this upcoming trip and that
I was a missionary and yada, yada, yada. Her response was unexpected.
With her South African accent she said, "I cringe when I hear the word
missionree." She went on to tell me that she has met so many
missionaries that do absolutely nothing. After expressing her views a
bit more I grabbed her hands, looked her in the eyes and said, "I'm not
that kind of missionary. Will you pray for me." Marisa Banas (Oct 08-World Racer)
"I felt God in a way I've never encountered
before. I fell in love with my 6 new teammates, with whom I'll be
spending the next 11 months. I was challenged physically and
spiritually." -- Bekah Phelps (Oct 08- World Racer)
I started listening to Bill Johnson from Bethel Church in
the bush of Africa. And on this particular Friday night I found myself
sitting in his church. Although Bill Johnson wasn't speaking that night
he had a fantastic guest speaker in his place.
I remember starring off in space in awe of actually being
physically present at Bethel. When all of the sudden the pastor said,
"You three (pointing at William, Terha, and myself)... I can feel your
hunger from the pulpit! There is something crazy happening in all three of your
lives! God has some big stuff for the three of you and its right around the
corner." Then he began to prophecy over us. I thought, "Wow
that's cool. How crazy is it that we got called out in front of the whole
church." Then at the end of the service the pastor said, "You
three...come up here, you've been on my heart all night." So we went
up to the front of the church. He began to "read our mail"
prophetically. What a crazy experience. He began to tell me things
that were happening with me that only the Lord knew. Then he prophesied
over all of us again. Talk about wow!
Soon after, he called for people to come forward that needed
a healing prayer. He specifically asked for people that had uneven legs
that were causing health issues. Three people came forward if I remember
correctly, each with abnormally uneven legs. Then he said,
"You," pointing to me out of the crowd, "lay hands on this
woman's legs. God is going to heal these people today." I said
"ok," and laid hands on the woman. By this point almost
the whole church was gathered around us. The woman was sitting in a chair
and I knelt in front of her with my eyes closed, put my hands on her ankles and
began to pray. After about five minutes she started saying "I'm
healed, my legs are straight, my legs are straight!" I was really
surprised because I had my eyes closed the whole time and I didn't see or feel
a thing. I just said "praise God!" She was happy and even noted that
her hips felt weird because she was so used to her legs being uneven.
After many other crazy things happened that night I felt a
strong urge to ask Terha's 14 year old brother if he had accepted Jesus in his
heart. So I went and asked him, and he said "no, but I want to
now." I think the growing of legs may have made an impression.
=) I led him in prayer as he accepted Jesus into his heart. Come on
God!!! As we were in the car driving back to his parents' house I felt led
to ask him if he had a desire to be baptized. He said, "I was just
thinking about that. I really want to." I said, "ok- I take
baptism very seriously. I had the privilege to baptize three men in prison
while I was in the Philippines this last year. Let's wake up early
tomorrow, go over some scripture, and talk so you know what this means and how
we're going to do this. Then we'll do the baptism in your parent's
pool." He was very excited.
We woke up the next morning and began reading
scripture. After a half hour something unusual began to happen while we
were in his room together. Out of the blue Tyler started to make some
funny noises and move his body around. I said, "Are you ok
Tyler...what going on?" He said, "I don't know; these waves are
coming over my body." Then he started to make more noise and move
around more. At that moment I realized the Holy Spirit was beginning to
fall on him. I prayed and asked the Holy Spirit to come and have His
way. The experience continued to increase for Tyler. I sat and
watched. Then he said, "My hands, my hands, something is on my hands!"
I knew exactly what was happening because it happened to me
1 ˝ years ago. I asked anyway, "what's on your hands?" He
replied, "I don't know it feels like that thing you get inside, like
excitement, but it's on my hands like electricity." I felt the Lord
say, "Sean, you know what's happening but just say- uhh
hmm." Then Tyler started to say, "my feet my, my feet, it's on
my feet now." "Uhh hmmm," was my reply. Soon after
Tyler sobered up, looked at me and said, "I think I'm going to heal people
with my hands and go new places in the world, like nations for the
Lord. Does that make sense?" he asked! I wanted to scream for
joy, but I said, "Yes. It makes complete sense. Remember this
moment Tyler, I didn't tell you this; the Lord Himself did! It will come to
pass."
I feel so privileged to have been there during this
experience for Tyler.
The Lord showed me if I would have spoken and told Tyler what
was happening I would have stolen his moment of revelation in
hearing one of the Lord's voices for the first time! Now he knows that he
heard God, and no one can take it from him! Moments like these are pure
treasure!
That morning I baptized Tyler. Please lift Tyler
Telious up in prayer!
One or two more blogs and I should have you up to date...almost there. =)
So what happened after Florida Sean?
Well, one day I began a journey from Florida to
California and then to Washington (my home) with two very special people, William
and Terha Gottel. I had the privilege to
spend over 5 weeks with my two new friends. As we traveled
I saw Willam's and Terha's relationship come together as husband and wife. Soon after we arrived in Seattle I was in their wedding. What a great day!!
=)
We had quite the journey! A few notable things took place during our travels.
From the first day I met William he shared a dream of his
with me. For the past five years William
has dreamed of doing a worldwide "campaign" to
raise awareness and fight against human trafficking. Below is a video that will give you an idea
of the seriousness of human trafficking and the level in which he plans to take
this.
William and his team will take this "campaign" to the heart of all the major cities in the world that harbor human trafficking like
Amsterdam, Bangkok, and Georgia for example. With each new city they will hold a stadium sized venue. It will consist of 7 days/ 24 hours a day of high praise and worship reaching an upwards of 100's of 1000's of people. The name of the "campaign"
is called "Just praise." William has the
potential to take this to a Global scale much like "The Call." For the past 4 years William has worked closely alongside Lou Engle as his personal assistant for "The Call." William is networked with all the right musicians and
people needed to make this happen. But
without the Lord's leading it will go nowhere! Please pray for William, his team, and for "Just praise." As one who has personally seen human trafficking all over the world, all I can say is...this must stop!!
Once we were in California we drove down to LA where I had the
chance to meet my Aunty Ann for the first time in my life. She's my Father's only full blooded
sister. What an incredible experience
that was! She's the first blood relative I've
met on my Father's side of the family. From there we drove from L.A. to Redding California
where Bill Johnson's church is (Bethel Church). I fell in Love with this church during the World-Race. Allison, Julie, and I couldn't get enough of
Bethel's Pod casts. The teachings are so
rich with wisdom. We would listen to
them every week!
Well, Terha made the suggestion to go by Bethel on the way
up to Washington. I was so excited! We went on a Friday night. Bill Johnson wasn't speaking but an awesome
guest speaker was. And let me tell ya,
some crazy cool stuff happened.
It seems that a blog update is well over due. It's amazing how a day can turn into a week and a week into a month.
I don't even know where to begin!?!
There are three major theme's in my life...crazy, more crazy, and super crazy =) It's the truth, but to be more specific the themes of the past few months or so have been: the supernatural, faith/belief, and the pursuit of treasure. Stay with me a few more blogs to learn more about all three.
It's amazing how full and alive I feel; it almost surprises me. I have so many testimonies from just this week of the power of the Lord touching me and other people, healings-signs and wonders; it would take me a week of blogs just to catch you up. The supernatural has become common place! And why am I so surprised? It gives me a whole new perspective on what true testimony is! The testimony of your salvation is great and all, really, it is; but people want to know what God is doing today! The train doesn't stop once you get saved; that's the point of acceleration and beginning !!!
I have to tell you that I don't give the rip what people think any more! I feel like saying- give me your best shot I'll love you anyways. (I respect my parents and a few select people that have authority in my life, who have wisdom and truly hear the Lord- but generally speaking take me or leave me-I don't care!!) You know who really likes this tone I've been taking? The "Non Christians!" I'm on a mission to bring hope and truth into this world and I'm not timid about it! I gotta tell ya guys if you stick with me during these next few blogs the Lord's gonna stir your faith and hope- COME ON GOD!!!
But before I'm even able to get there I know I need to start where I left off. And that was Lakeland Florida. There is a possibility people may negatively associate me with the revival and the recent events with Todd Bentley and his family. And that's fine!! I just want to state the following first. If you don't know Todd and his wife Shonnah are in the middle of a possible separation. And with the worlds eye directly on them it has been a widely discussed topic. One of my Leaders Seth Barnes wrote a blogin response to a Christian article written on this situation a while back..Click here
Below is my response to his blog.
"But among those who jumped on the Lakeland bandwagon, discernment was
discouraged. They were expected to swallow and follow."J. Lee Grady--editor of Charisma.
Wow and so I believe a test has come! My first thought is what is the true and real question in all this. How do we truly see and hear with kingdom ears and eyes?! It's almost surprising how unmoved I am by this article! I have come to Love the few moments I've had when scripture becomes no longer theory but reality. Tangible reality that I can grasp with two hands! Scripture like "my children shall know my voice"...Praise God! Intimacy with the Father is the only place where we will find rest, truth, and answers.
I thank God that His work, and what He is doing in this time, is bigger than one man! This was never about Todd Bentley, and I've personally witnessed him be the first one to say it on many occasions. I believe anyone who traveled to Lakeland for Todd alone or for the mere experience received their reward in full. And those who sought out God- found Him!
I believe this will give many people who doubt the Revival and Todd, because of the offense that's taken place, a platform to speak from and continue to cause confusion for many! J. Lee Grady said, "I still believe that God desires to visit our nation in supernatural power. I know He wants to heal multitudes, and I will continue praying for a healing revival to sweep across the United States. But we must contend for the genuine, not an imitation. True revival will be accompanied by brokenness, humility, reverence and repentance-not the arrogance, showmanship and empty hype that often was on display in Lakeland."
I believe that God is visiting our nation in supernatural power, and He doesn't just want to heal multitudes, He is healing multitudes. Thank God one broken marriage can't stop what the Lord is doing, and that this hope doesn't rest on Todd or Lakeland. The truth is most of what I find the church calling deception isn't really the deception- It's much more strategic than that! And much of the "words" that people give for the sake of "good," is really for themselves. (my opinion of course)
There is truly an arena of confusion and I fear it's only going to increase. But I thank God for what I believe he has revealed to me, and this thing that has begun is only going to increase, and I'm not talking about what begun in Lakeland-this is far bigger and we are in the 11th hour!
The Lord is offending the Church--praise God =) "Help us Lord!!" I agree with Wendy and Rory Alec from God TV saying, "GOD TV is anxious that our viewers and partners will first of all respond to these unfortunate circumstances with an attitude of Christ-like maturity and pray fervently for Todd, Shonnah and their children as a family who are precious to the Lord. While we have learned today that immorality was not an issue, no doubt the enemy has exploited vulnerabilities in their marriage.
More to come on my recent events--- much love to all!
The World Race website at www.theworldrace.org is currently unavailable
due to technical issues. We apologize for this inconvenience, but we are
working to resolve the problem as soon as possible.
In the meantime, you can still view all up-to-date content on
www.theworldrace.net. If you were following a particular Racer, just
like electricity." I felt the Lord
say, "Sean, you know what's happening but just say- uhh
hmm." Then Tyler started to say, "my feet my, my feet, it's on
my feet now." "Uhh hmmm," was my reply. Soon after
Tyler sobered up, looked at me and said, "I think I'm going to heal people
with my hands and go new places in the world, like nations for the
Lord. Does that make sense?" he asked! I wanted to scream for
joy, but I said, "Yes. It makes complete sense. Remember this
moment Tyler, I didn't tell you this; the Lord Himself did! It will come to
pass."
One or two more blogs and I should have you up to date...almost there. =)
