My Sweet Holly:
I love you very much. 24 hrs ago, the Lord called you home. My heart is broken, I want you and need you here. But, I know now, you have your total healing. You fought a great battle and proven a lot of people wrong (even doctors) in this. Truly the Lord gave you strength in all of this. You are an amazing woman of God, a precious wife and an awesome mother. You were my strength (in the natural) as we pressed along in the ministry together. You were such an encourager and uplifter. Truly, as your friend said, an Angel sent from heaven. We laughed, cried, rejoiced, hurt together. Since you left this earth, Peyton and my heart truly aches for you. Peyton loves you very much. He adored you like no other. He truly was a mama's boy. It has been hard to try to tell explain to him what has transpired. I have been through pain before but not like this. No matter what, through life or death, may the name of Jesus be glorified!
Holly, YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL!
You were truly example of a Proverbs 31 woman.
Psalms 116:15
Precious in the eyes of the Lord is the death of His saints.
We love you very much (from your boys).
Kevin and Peyton

Emmanuel/Immanuel
Good Morning,
The Lord is Good!!!
Matthew 1:20-25
But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins."
So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying:
"Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel," which is translated, "God with us".
Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife,
And did not know her till she had brought forth her firstborn Son. And he called His name Jesus.
No matter what you go through. No matter what the name of your trial is. No matter what kind of tribulation you have, remember that God is with us!
Even though the doctors have given my wife a month to live, I can still say Emmanuel, God is with me!
To my wife: Even though death is knocking, the circumstance seems lost, Emmanuel, God is still with you!
We are praying and believing that the Lord is going to raise you up for His glory!
Some spiritual advice from a healing evangelist of times past (Smith Wigglesworth): I am not moved by what I feel, I am not moved by what I see, I am moved but what I believe.

Revival Sayings of the Old
Good Afternoon,
Matthew 5:4
Blessed are the pure in heart For they shall see God.
May the following quotes from trailblazers in the Lord be a blessing and challenge to you:
God loves with a great love the man whose heart is bursting with a passion for the IMPOSSIBLE.
- William Booth
Revival is when God gets so sick and tired of being misrepresented that He show Himself.
- Leonard Ravenhill
A baptism of holiness, a demonstration of godly living is the crying need of our day.
- Duncan Campbell
Study the history of revival. God has always sent revival in the darkest day. Oh, for a mighty, sweeping revival today!
- Adrian rogers
A revival, then, really means days of heaven upon earth.
- D. Martin Lloyd-Jones
If revival depended on you -- your prayers, your faith, your obedience -- would your church ever experience revival?
- Del Fehsenfeld Jr.
You never have to advertise a fire Everyone comes running when there's a fire. Likewise, if your church is on fire, you will not have to advertise it. The community will already know it.
- Leonard Ravenhill
May we all catch on fire for the Lord!

Follow Me
Good Afternoon,
Matthew 9:9
And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.
Follow in the Greek means:
a. To be an attendant
b. To accompany
c. To go with or follow
When you break down the Greek word Akoloutheo, it means:
a. way
b. To move quickly
c. Straight
The individual calling to follow Jesus involved abiding fellowship with Him, not only for the sake of learning as a scholar from his teacher, but also for the sake of the salvation known or looked for, which presented itself in this fellowship.
The first thing involved in following Jesus is a cleaving to Him in believing trust and obedience, those cleaving to Him, also following His leading, acting according to His example. Hence the constant stress laid by the Lord Jesus upon the need of self-denial and fellowship with Himself in the cross. Thus following Jesus denotes a fellowship of faith as well as a fellowship of life, sharing in His sufferings not only inwardly, but outwardly if necessary. Such outward fellowship with Jesus, however, could not continue without inner moral and spiritual fellowship. (Lexical aids to the New Testament)
Jesus is calling out - Follow Me. Will you quickly move toward Him or will you move in a different direction. His direction is the straight and narrow, the other direction is the broadway. The call is out, will you arise and follow Him?
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6)

Memorial Day 2012
Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day that we (Americans) set aside to honor those that have died while serving our nation. May 5, 1868 was officially proclaimed Memorial Day by General John Logan. It became an official federal holiday in 1971.
I am thankful for the all the men and women who have died while defending America. My prayer is that those family members and friends would be comforted with the love of our Lord and His peace that passes all understanding.
You see, if anyone knows about giving the ultimate sacrifice, it would be our Lord Jesus Christ. That upon Calvary, He shed his blood for the remission of sins. That whosoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Loss of life isn't fun, neat or even cool. The reality of it, is that someone had to pay for it. Yes, our fellow Americans paid for our freedom with their life. Do we really understand that and do we really appreciate it? As those that paid for our freedom with their life, so did Jesus pay for our freedom. Not naturally but spiritually. It cost Him everything. But, to those that receive it, it's FREE! Not a thing we can do to earn it. Do we really understand what He did? Do we really understand about eternity?
I think a fitting verse for Memorial Day would be in 1 John. Remember, the bible says so in the natural, so in the spiritual.
1 John 3:16
By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

Pssst.....THE TOMB IS EMPTY!
HAPPY RESURRECTION DAY!
Matthew 28:1-8
In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Mag-da-le-ne and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow.
And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.
And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.
Christ has risen. He has power over death, hell and the grave! Praise the Lord!
From slavery (sin) to freedom (life in Christ)!
Are you alive in Christ or dead to Him?
The bible says call on the name of the Lord and you shall be saved!

The New Year 2012 - Faith - Healer in the House
Good Morning,
Hebrews 11:1
Now, faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen.
Happy New Year! I know it's already February but better late than never:). It has been busy around here in the last 2-3 months. From work, to church and to seeing a miracle perform before our very eyes in the life of my beautiful wife.
I want to encourage all believers that no matter what life brings and no matter how bad the situation is going on in your home. Whether it is a physical, financial, relational or emotional problem - There is a Healer in your house today.
For those that don't know, my wife was diagnosis in September in the hospital with stage 3 colon/rectal cancer. I will give you the short story of a long but beautiful version of how the Lord was watching over my wife and the family. Doctors had to do emergency surgery on her that day. Even the doctors we stunned in their findings. 1st reason, the previous test didn't indicate anything of "severity" being wrong. 2nd reason, with my wife being young, the doctors were not even thinking about colon/rectal cancer. Doctors recommended radiation and chemo because of where it was located. This was confirmed by the radiation and chemo doctors also. We are very thankful for the doctors, nurses and staff that the Lord had put in our path. My wife (family) and a decision to make. Do we do the radiation and chemo or was there another way. With prayer and fasting, my wife (family) decided that we put our faith in the healing power of the Lord. Let me say this. If you have had cancer or going through it right now, please don't get me wrong about what I just said in regards to faith. I don't believe that Christians who had/having radiation and chemo have less faith then those that choose not to have it. Each person must pray and seek the Lord in regards to their situation. It was mid September 2011 when we found out that my wife had colon/rectal stage 3 cancer. As of today, February 12, 2012 (actually in December 2011) according to the doctors (per PET scan) there is not any trace of cancer in her body. PRAISE THE LORD! Matter of fact, on February 2, 2012 her rimary doctor came in and said the following:. I know that you and your family on praying and believing people. Medically speaking, I can't explain whay you are in such good health. I (the doctor) will make a note of this and put it in your file. The doctor went on to say, whatever you are doing, keep doing. Thank you Jesus!
I will probably explain what we did and continue to do in the process of walking out our healing in my next blog.
Now, Faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen.
If we broke this down in the Greek is would go something like this:
Presently believing in the divine truth equals (calls for) confident expectation, expecting with desire the proof of things not perceived.
May our faith grow tremendously in 2012.
Blessings
