I felt much better today. A good night’s sleep really helped. The coffee this morning was wonderful. Did I say how good the coffee was? Awesome. Anyway, we went out around 1:30PM and drove down past Dario. (We stopped at the church and picked up about 10 more people. The back of the truck was full as well as the Excursion. It was way over the limit. Anyway, I guess that is how life is in Nicaragua.
Then we drove another hour to this village, it was on a dirt road back in the middle of nowhere. They did have electricity, but had a village well where everyone came to get their water. Of course, all the bathrooms were out houses, and they have to carry all the water into their houses. There we divided into two teams of 7. One team was going to stay in this village and go door to door, praying for the sick and just loving on the people. The other group was to do the same thing at the other village. I was in the other group and we drove about 15 minutes away, turned off the road and drove up what looked like a dry rocky creek bed. I wasn’t sure the truck was going to make it. In fact, we got out and walked to take some of the weight off the truck. When we got there, we could see no homes, no well, only a small shelter made of cut trees and canvas. About 25 people were there waiting for us. It was the site of a new church. The leader and probably the main intercessor met us. They all hugged us and we found out that instead of going door to door, we were going to have a healing service.
God’s goodness is everywhere. His love is overwhelming. Most of the people tat we have ministered to are some of the poorest. Their access to any health care at all is very negligible. If Papa doesn’t show up to heal them, then there is no hope. Last night we saw a small growth on the neck totally disappear. We saw a deaf man get a great deal of his hearing back. We were thrilled to be able to pray for these people. Joseph gave a word for testimonies, then we called out a couple of words of knowledge, but we knew that they all had needs, so we just called them up and started praying for them. Holy spirit showed up in power and both men and women were being healed and falling down on the ground under the power of God.
After we were through praying, we did get testimonies. People were healed of headaches, stomach pains, and many other pains. I prayed for a girl with heart problems. I don’t know if she was healed or not, but I do know that the power of God was all over her. We must have been there almost an hour and a half. Then we had to leave to go back to meet the other group. They had had similar results going house to house.
The evening ended with a service at the church,. It was long with typical worship. We prophesied over the pastor and his wife. Three of our ladies spoke and it was very good. We ended the night with a fire tunnel where all the team lines up facing each other, then every one who wanted to walks through as we lay hands on them and pray. Well, it got pretty wild, as the presence of God got more and more evident. People were falling down and we were having to move them out of the way. I know that there were healings even as we prayed. It was a great night and God is good.
The night ended back at a restaurant at 10:30. Once again I was eating dinner at midnight. But it sure tasted good. We got back to the hotel and I got to bed around 1:30AM. We leave on Tuesday for a different hotel. It will be interesting to see what the day brings.

Are We There Yet Daddy?
I remember when I was a little boy and we would go on trips. I would probably bug my parents do death asking "Are we dear yet daddy? The standard answer was"five more minutes". It might be an hour, but the answer would be "five more minutes." When you are on a mission trip, part of life is the test of "five more minutes". The unknown factor of what you are doing and when you are doing it. Well, it didn't take long to start.
Well, the trip to Atlanta and then to Managua went as well as it possible. I was in first class on both flights. We left SLC around 1AM, and got to Managua around 2PM. Then we had to wait for the one of the rental trucks. We got the trucks and then drove about 2 hours north to Dario where we unloaded on the land that Harry’s church has been given to build on. They were having a service on the land. We got there about 4:30 and the service didn’t start until after 5:30. It was my first test on the trip. I really wasn’t in any mood or condition to minister. To be honest all that I wanted to do was go to the hotel, shower and shave.
Well, God definitely had other ideas. The service was very good. Harry preached and worship was very lively. The people were very open to the Spirit. One of our team, Hector, brought a good word about the land being ready for revival. It was right on, and well received. The team began to prophecy over different people and it was evident that God was moving and people were getting touched. A few of us had prophetic words for some of the people and then we begin to call out words of knowledge for healing. People started coming up and it was amazing. I think that almost everyone that we prayed for was healed. Of course you never really know, but from the look and joy that they were expressing, you could see that they really had been healed.
This is just a continuation of what happened in Salt Lake City. There we saw over 70 healings, mostly of eyes, but also of many other things. Last night I prayed for a man who had constant pain in his stomach. After praying for a second time, the pain was totally gone. I think that everyone that I prayed for was healed. It was amazing. We also prayed for two men to be delivered from alcohol, and prayed of ten people to receive Jesus. It was a good night. The service lasted until about 7:30. Then we had to wait while they used our vans to take people back to villages and take down the equipment. Then we had to drive for over an hour to the hotel. But we hadn’t eaten since early that day, so we stopped and ate around 10:30. Of course it took about an hour and a half to eat. The food was very good and I was very hungry.
We finally got to the hotel and finally got to the room around 12:30. The shower and shave felt good, and I was in bed by 1AM. So I figured I got about 4 hours of sleep in 40 hours. Definitely a good start to the mission trip. But I’m up now, eating breakfast. The coffee is unbelievably good. Today is going to be a great day.

Releasing the Army
Well, I woke up to 4 inches of snow. That much snow would have paralyzed Atlanta, but didn’t even phase Salt Lake City. They even had the hotel parking lot completely free of snow before we left this morning. Since I didn’t get to bed until about 2AM Salt Lake time, we sort of slept in this morning. That’s a good thing since we are about to get on the flight to Atlanta in about thirty minutes.
Today was another awesome day. My workshop on running your own race went very well. I had a room full of students, probably about fifty or so, and Holy Spirit showed up to lead the workshop. I talked and exhorted them, led them in prayers of forgiveness and called them into their destiny for about an hour and fifteen minutes. I think it could have been a little better, but I was pleased, and everyone seemed to like it.
This afternoon at lunch about 40 kids went to the mall. They wound up in the food court, standing on chairs asking if anyone needed healing. They prayed for some people, and I think they saw some healings. It was the beginning of the release of an army of God in Salt Lake City. Tonight was amazing. Worship was over the charts, and we wound up doing some prophetic worship. The worship leader was being led by the Spirit and was making up words as he went along.
They were so good, I wrote some of them down, and then I felt Holy Spirit begin to add some more to what I had written. The following really tells what went on this week better than I could. “The army is marching. You can hear the army of God marching across the land. With love in their hearts and oil in their hands. Hear the sounds. Let your voice thunder over this region God. Let your voice be heard, Lion of Judah, lion of Judah. Let the rebellion begin. Not a political rebellion, but a spiritual rebellion. A rebellion against dead works and religious systems based on law. A rebellion against the American dream or any other dream that is not inspired by the Kingdom of God. A rebellion against all other gods but Him. Let the rebellion begin. Lion of Judah have your way.
That’s it for tonight. I’m boarding the flight to Atlanta. Next blog will be from Nicaragua.

Stepping into Inheritance
Why do so many good Christians keep trying to earn favor with Father God, when He has already given it to them? When will we learn that you can’t earn something that has already been given to you? The western church does one thing fairly well. It teaches about the love of Jesus. At least the evangelical church does. It teaches about the love, but it really doesn’t show the love of Jesus very well. For the most part the church concentrates too much on judging others, something Jesus never did. So even though it teaches about His love, it doesn’t reflect His love.
One thing the church does very poorly is teaching about our inheritance as believers. Tonight we had the first night of the Relentless Generation conference. There were over 400 youth from this region. Scott spoke and released the love of the Father. It was an awesome message that was well received. We prayed for literally hundreds of youth during ministry time. As we were praying for them it was sad to realize how few of them realized that God loved them enough to heal them and that there was nothing that they had to do to gain His favor. They couldn’t understand that they didn’t have to perform, all they had to do was come as they were.
But why should I be shocked. It’s like that everywhere I go. It doesn’t matter if it is with youth or adults. They haven’t been taught on the love of the Father. The church, just like the world, is suffering from an orphan spirit. That has to change if we are going to be the agents that bring change to our communities. Tomorrow I’m talking about identity in my workshop. I decided to change some of the emphasis tomorrow. I need to focus more on the Father’s heart and His goodness. Until people believe that God is for them, that He loves them unconditionally, they will never be able to truly know who they are. Hopefully I will be able to remedy that to some degree tomorrow.
We check out in the morning. Then after the conference we leave for the airport tomorrow night. It’s going to be a great day tomorrow and I can’t wait to see more people set free. Then tomorrow night it’s off to Atlanta and then Nicaragua. It looks like fun. It’s been a long day, and it is snowing outside right now. It will be interesting to see how much snow we have in the morning.

Relentless Generation
Everything worked as planned this morning as far as travel to Salt Lake City. John drove me to the Savannah airport. I got there about 4:30 and caught a 5:30 flight that got to Atlanta at 6:30. By 7AM I was sitting in my seat of the flight to Salt Lake City. The flight to SLC was a little less than 4 hours, so we got here around 10AM Mountain time. We were met by the youth pastor Andrew and some of the other members of his team. After getting breakfast/lunch, depending on your time zone, we went to the hotel. Scott and I were expecting to share a room, but we were staying at these Hyatt suites and we each have our own suite. Very nice!
We had a couple of hours to rest, so I got a quick nap after we went to Target to buy a few things. Oh yes, they loaned us a car too. So we got back and took a nap. Then we met most of the team from the church at a local Starbucks. Then we went to dinner. Tonight was a worship and prayer service for the conference, which begins tomorrow night. It was very good. The worship leader is from Las Vegas and his team had come in earlier in the day.
The title of the conference is “Relentless Generation”. My prayer is for a generation that is so relentless in their pursuit of God and His Kingdom that they will never give up or stop going after more of Him. If one generation would truly get sold out for God, we could change this nation and the world. Our hope and prayer is that this is much more than a conference. If it is just an event where kids worship and a few people are healed, but it doesn’t impact the community in any way, then we will have failed. We are looking for something that will have a lasting impact in the schools and outside the four walls of the church. I believe it can happen here. After seeing the heart and passion of most of the kids at the prayer meeting, I know that God can use them.
The conference has over 400 signed up, so it should be a good group. Our workshops will be on Saturday afternoon from 2 – 3:30. I plan on finalizing what I am going to speak on sometime tomorrow. We have a pretty free day tomorrow, so I should have plenty of time to work on it. Hopefully I will be able to run on the treadmill tomorrow morning as well. It’s way too cold to run outside. It is beautiful though. The snow on the mountains is absolutely breathtaking. I had forgotten how pretty it was here in the winter. It’s much different than Hilton Head. It’s hard to believe I was there just last night.
I am really praying for this conference. You see, you don’t have to be young to be a part of the Relentless Generation. All it takes is a passion for Him and the willingness to pursue Him and His love at any cost. I am a part of that generation. So are many of my friends. I want to see breakthrough this weekend. I can almost taste it. It taste good.

Last Night in Hilton Head
It’s been a great week. The weather has been great although it was a little cold today. But the good news is the sun was out so we got a good bike ride in down to Harbor Town. Then we sat out like turtles sunning ourselves this afternoon. I really do love this place. As I was riding today, I was thinking about Christmas here this year and riding with all the granddaughters to the playground at Harbor Town. It was so much fun. Hopefully they can all get together this summer before they are all scattered to the extreme ends of the country.
Well it’s off to the cold country tomorrow. I catch a plane in Savannah tomorrow morning at 5:30. That means a 3AM wake up in the morning. The flight from Atlanta leaves at 7:35 s it should be a quick connection. I’ve already checked in on line and have my eboarding pass. Technology is amazing! So hopefully on the flight to SLC, I will be able to work more on my workshop. I did some on it today. I probably have more than I need, so now it is refining the message into what Holy Spirit wants me to say. But there has to be more than the message. I have to release the Father’s heart. They have to really understand who they are in Christ. Holy Spirit will have to give me strategies on how to do that.
I’m excited as I leave here. This is what life is about. Sharing the Kingdom of God, empowering, equipping and releasing the next generation into their destiny. My prayer for myself is that Papa would use me at this conference for His purposes, but even more, that He would push me farther into the destiny that He has called me into. I have a general idea, but I need more specifics and a greater plan. I’m looking for these next 10 days to help formulate that plan. I know that He will give me all that I need. I just need to stay plugged into Him. It’s not about me and my stuff, but it is about me being used to release His stuff. That’s what I plan on doing. If I do that, then everything will be OK.
I got the news of the passing of a dear friend today. Donn and I worked at Delta together in Flight Training on the L1011 for over 10 years. We had many good times together. We even took a plane to Africa together long before Delta started flying there (another story for another time). He got pancreatic cancer a few years ago and put up a great fight. I prayed many times for his healing, and now he is with Jesus. I’m sure he has talked with Julia already. I know that his wife and family are grieving tonight, and I just ask Holy Spirit to reach out and comfort them. I’ll be out of town for his service, but I definitely want to see his wife later. He was one of my best friends at Delta and a believer. He will definitely be missed.
So, I leave this island once again. It will probably be at least a year before I come back. It is a place with so many good memories of so many good times. I do feel more peaceful here than probably anywhere else that I can think of. So, hopefully I will be back. I plan on it, but who knows what plans Holy Spirit has for me. I do know that I will get to Ft Lauderdale and Norfolk sometimes in March. School continues until the end of April, after that, everything seems up in the air. Oh well, I have always embraced change, why stop now. Next stop, Salt Lake City.

Washington's Birthday
Sure, in our modern rush to always have holidays on a Monday, we changed many of our most patriotic holidays around. George Washington’s birthday (today) used to be a holiday. We celebrated it as the first president of our country. It was to honor his memory. Then a few years ago when we tried to streamlined holidays to give people more 3 day weekends, we did away with celebrating George Washington’s birthday, and started celebrating “President’s Day” on a Monday in February. It has become a meaningless day off, like many other days off instead of being a meaningful holiday. Well, today is George Washington’s birthday. Happy Birthday George.
Today was also a gorgeous day on Hilton Head Island. In fact, the last two days have been great, but today had to be the best. It was mostly sunny with a high of around 75. It was a little windy, but it was such a great day, the wind didn’t matter too much. We got to do a lot of outdoor activities. I ran four miles on the beach this morning and then probably walked another mile. It was a great time. Then we rode our bikes down to South Beach and ate out on the deck at the Salty Dog Café. I had the fish and chips. Fried Flounder that was very tasty and cooked just right. Then we rode along the beach back to the condos. After that we sat out in the sun reading for a couple of hours. It was such a beautiful day. For the past tow days I have been able to relax better than I have in a long time.
I don’t know what it is about the beach, but I can relax here easier than I can anywhere else. I just love to see the ocean and hear the waves. I love to watch the sun as it rises and sets. I love to sit out and read as the wind keeps me cool in the sun. Everything is just so peaceful. But the beach isn’t the same when you live there. I did that for almost a year as I tried to sell real estate in Florida. When you are working, you don’t have much time to relax and read on the beach. You definitely don’t have much time to ride bikes. No, the beach is for vacations, times to unwind and reflect on the year.
Tomorrow is a transition day. First, the weather is changing and it’s only supposed to be 59 for a high. We might get a bike ride in, but it won’t be a good day for sitting out and reading. That’s OK, I have to begin transitioning into what I am going to be doing in Utah. I need to spend some time looking at what I will speak on when I do my workshop, and I also need to begin to think and pray more about Nicaragua. So even though I will enjoy tomorrow, the fun days here at Hilton Head are really about over for me. Tomorrow I need to really think about the difference between being a son and an orphan. That is going to be a key concept in this conference. So tomorrow I really need to spend some time focusing on what Holy Spirit wants me to do. But it has been a great few days away from everything. I wish it could have been a few days longer.

I wish it could have been a few days longer.
