This is the last day.....

This is the last day of the Pastors and Leaders Conference here in Toronto. It has been awesome to rest in the arms of the Father for the past three days. The message of the TACF is to return people to the knowledge of the FATHER'S Love in a personal encounter. Many things happen here that may or may not be of interest to others, but the sense of the very fact that God loves me and despite all my failures and successes, I AM SIMPLY HIS CHILD!

Being a father to three great kids, has given me an insight into the father's love relationship. It is comforting to know that the father's love never ends! And it is not performance connected! HE purposes to love me!

As I write this, tears are running down my cheeks. It has been so long since I have felt of value to Him. He is beginning to restore the fire within my spirit to fulfill the ministry to which He has called me. The greatest responsibility that I have is to love the Father with all my heart and to surrender all to Him. Of course that entails the responsibility that I have to my wife and my family. But the fact remains that HE IS PRIMARY!

I encourage you to check out the TCAF website for resources that will help you to hear the heart of God concerning His Love toward you. John Arnott's teaching on forgiveness is powerful, and while it is , for the most part, things about which we have knowledge, it comes together to impact you deeply. http://www.tacf.org/Default.aspx
I love you and I have prayed over a long list of people this week that you would recieve the Father's love. Not just come to the Lord in a salvation experience, but experience the totality of the Father's love.

The real world is ahead, tomorrow. I will wait..., and bask in His arms today!

CARRY ON!

Signs, Wonders and Miracles....

Today is the third day of this powerful conference at Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship. It has been awesome to sense the glory of the Lord during this week of renewal. Last night several, well over a hundred, were healed of back pain. Several gave testimony of the power of deliverance over injury issues of more than 20 years.

I have seen such miracles throughout my lifetime, but for the most part we do not see all the awesome miracles that God has made possible to and through the believer. It is my prayer that you will earnestly seek the Lord for an enduement of His majesty and power to ignite your faith to believe that it is the Father's good pleasure to give to you the kingdom and all of the benefits that are attached to sonship.

Don't allow doubt to steal from you what is your gift from God!

As you go through this day, I would like to ask that you pray for my son, Jimmy, who is IRAQ. He called me early this morning with the news that a dear friend of his from the Tulsa area was tragically killed in an auto accident on I-44 near Miami, OK. Also, the unit that Jimmy is connected to has drawn fire almost every day that they are out patrolling. The stress is overwhelming at times for him. i appreciate your continued prayer for him.

The music is starting and the presence of the Lord is already moving this morning, so I will get off of here and get plugged into what the Lord has for us today.

Be Blessed! CARRY ON!

TACF - Pastors and Leaders Conference

My son, Pastor Shane, Tim Thacker, and I are sitting in the Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship in Toronto, Ontario taking in the Pastor's and Leader's Conference! It is always an awesome opportuntity to attend anything at TACF. This ministry is in it's 14th year of REVIVAL. Word's do not really express what is happening here at the conference. Yesterday's guest speaker was Bill Johnson from Redding, CA. Bill is pastoring a mighty move of the Lord in Redding. Thousands are recieving healing under an Open Heaven for the miraculous in Redding.

One of the highlights of the services here is the Praise and Worship. I have attached the web link on here for you to plug into what the Lord is doing here. There is internet access to these powerful meetings. If you can, go to the link and check it out. I will try to write more later, but it is now time for the morning service to begin. http://www.tacf.org/

Thanks to my friends in North Little Rock who have been such an encouragement to me through the past years, but especially today when I recieved an email from Pastor Greg's daughter. I was encouraged by her words of appreciation.

Also, thanks to a friend who sent me the gift last week to help me in my ability to communicate while driving. The device is very helpful and a blessing.

Blessings! And, by all means, CARRY ON!
