Breakdown of events leading up to a remarkable Sunday.
Wed Afternoon: 4:46 PM I send an e-mail to Manny. Subject Line: "Expect something BIG this weekend. Last line of the e-mail "Get ready for a BIG move of God this weekend."
Wed Night- 7:00PM Milpitas team meets at Milpitas to put together an agenda for Sunday. (Started with worship then had a meeting) First Idea scratched it out, didn't feel the heart. Second idea was cool, but something still did not feel right.
Thurs Afternoon: 1:57 PM I receive an e-mail from Jesse, a report from Jesus Culture. Elena GOT HEALED! No more Scoliosis. SHE's HEALED!
Friday- 1:52 PM I talk to PDan about Sunday. We are working out any last minute details. Something still does not feel right. I'm ready to preach, have everything printed already for Sunday. Am I missing something, is this the wrong sermon? (Am I going to preach God?...This is what's going on in my mind.)
Saturday- 2:52PM Talk to Matt, tells me what happened at Jesus Culture. Yup God is going to do something big. My feelings are beginning to solidify "You know what, I don't think I'm going to preach this weekend"
Saturday Evening: 7:59PM (Milpitas team is practicing worship) Meanwhile I talk to PDan. Working out the Final details for Sunday. Official words to PDan that I said. "P, I'm going in on Sunday with an open mind, no agenda, I'm prepared to speak but truthfully I'm going in with no Agenda" (The water is stirring now at rapid pace)
Saturday Evening: Approx 8:45PM Milpitas ending there last song, ("Healer" something about this song that just seemed right for this weekend) They are ending practice but then the practice turns into worship, Tara shares a word she receives. Yup it's not a practice anymore. Oh man, it's definitely not a practice. I look at Reuben on the drums and he's drumming in the spirit. I look at everyone's face and they are all pressing in.
Saturday Evening: Appox. 9:15pm Speak with the team. Tell them that you can feel something brewing. There's an electricity in the air. Reminded me of the time I was in Vegas and there was a big fight in town at the same time. Everywhere there was excitement and energy about what was going to take place. This is what you could feel about Sunday, it had been brewing all week and now it was hours away.
Sun morning: Approx 12:30am I tell Santos, I don't think I'm going to speak tomorrow. I prepare anyway, but still don't feel right about it.
Sunday morning: 6:59AM Official Text message from Bishop: "in the last days I will pour out my Spirit" That time is now! Get under the spout. Get ur people under the spout. Believe in the supernatural. "I've heard that scripture millions of times, but today it was more real to me...when I read it, I gasped for air it literally took my breath away.
Sun morning: 8:30AM Matt addresses the team, he feel's it, everyone does, it's not going to be a normal service.
9:30am Service starts (hallelujah is the song the worship team is singing, people are just ready and so was God for the people) During worship I get what I'm actually supposed to speak on from a journal entry earlier in the week (Spiritual thirst)
10:15am First Service is well on it's way, Matt gives me the mic, I know what I have to say. Word goes out:
The problem "when we get physical thirsty we do something about it but when we are spiritually thirsty at times we don't do anything.
The challenge "how long will you wait, WHY WAIT? It was the quickest sermon ever. We get into worship "All HEAVEN BREAKS LOOSE)
Time Unknown: Word goes out to Aunty Gwen, she's rocked by God
Time unknown: I speak to a kid named Daniel, battling with discouragement and depression. I lead him to the Lord, release vision into his life.
11:00am First service carries into second with worship
11:30am approx: I look at Isaiah, he's praying for someone. The man went up with a cane but now I see him walking without one. The Lord shows me a vision of Isaiah as he's older, couldn't make out his facial features but I knew it was him. He was moving in Signs and wonders(Marsha had the same vision). I lost it, I was behind the curtain during worship, knees buckled, full of the power of God, had a hard time walking. I talked to Zai later did anyone ask you to go up and pray, he say"s "no, I just wanted to do a good deed" Then what Zai said next blew me away, he told me "I wanted to go and pray up on stage but I was scared there was too many people," understandable he's six, but this confirmed what I saw because one day he will be in front of a lot of people and he will operate in signs and wonders. WOW
Time Unknown: Tara releases a word about threshing wheat.
Time unknown: Matt talks about Spiritual Dryness (confirms first service word) Little did I know at the same time Matt was receiving his word for second service in a class room, I was speaking to the first service about the same thing. The word was shared by several people and all of it was in line, it fit perfectly. "Wait a minute where have I seen this oh yeah the bible. 40 Authors, 66 books, 1500 years, different walks and it all fits perfectly. God's word is powerful!
Time unknown: I see Troy getting blessed, power of God is upon him.
Time unknown: I see Nicole getting prayed for by... (wait a minute is that Britney praying for her mom) Oh man, it is Britney. And God is totally all over her.
Time unknown: Troy speaks, same thing talks a little about water. I've never seen the look that I saw on Troy today. I witnessed a different man.
Time unknown: Fire Line takes off, God moves, GOD Moves, GOD MOVES.
Approx. 12:30 I address the congregation for approx. 3 minutes. "The time has turned" Situations, circumstances, frustrations, opposition, fear, anxiety, depression, it's all turning. "Get ready your at a new level"
Spoke with Bill Belaski later. Informed me the Lord has been moving in a powerful way for three weeks now. The same has been true in Milpitas. Things will never be the same, they can't be. We have God and He has us. I got a picture of an umbrella as I was worshiping tonight. God used this as symbolism of His presence. The presence covers us, were under it right now, we've been under it. I hate to put it this way because you can never have a handle on God but we have caught God. We have God by the umbrella handle, what's keeping Him close, passionate love for Jesus, hearts full of worship and a hunger for more. But before we caught Him, He had to catch us first. God had to slow us down, get our mind off life and get our mind on Him. How do we stay here? "The best thing we can do is to discard our programs, shred our syllabi, slide off of our seats and fall on our knees" -Tommy Tenney, God Cathcher's
Check out 2 Chronicles 7:14 (Amplified Version)
If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves, pray, seek, crave, and require of necessity My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land....spoke with Greg Card at the end he said, "history in the making, this is it" Yes it is Greg. "History in the Making"
I wonder what's going to happen next week...?
