Meeting #1-April 19, 2007
Go out into the streets and compel them to come! God is so real! His presence and power is so amazing! God is waiting to touch His people if only they will come! If you are close enough to come to these meetings you need to be here. God is waiting to change YOUR life! We were encouraged tonight to compel our friends to come to the meetings, not just invite them. God will touch you if you come and that is a promise! Revivalist Wes Geiger had a dream 2 nights ago of people that were in the dirt being choked by a cow. The cow had its hooves on the person's throat and then on their chest. The cow was killing this person. This represented the spirit of religion that is crushing the life out of people. 2 Tim 3:4 shows us that many in the last days will be "lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—having a form of godliness but denying its power." God wants all of His children to not just have a form of godliness, but to walk in their destiny using all of their spiritual gifts and to walk in the fullness of Him and His blessings. The Lord showed me during praise and worship that He was going after the religious. He wants to take them to a place of freedom like He did me and into their place of destiny. He wanted to rescue those who had been trampled and give them life and freedom too. It was an awesome start to our meetings! God is ready to shake the lives of His people! I know I have made a commitment to be at all these meetings! Wednesdays through Sundays for the next 2 months. I am expecting the Lord to do BIG things!

Meeting #2-April 20, 2007
We were so blessed to be surprised by our dear friends Pastor Jerry and Sue  and Sher  from Elmira, NY. They left at 9AM on Friday and drove 450 miles to surprise us all for one meeting. They are the pastors of the church that Wes and Donna spent the 71 days, 81 meetings with. They had to leave after the meeting as they had other engagements Saturday. They were such a blessing. They brought encouragement and testimony of what the Lord had been doing with them. Our God is a restoring God! He took a drug dealer of 19 years and in one day delivered him of drugs, alcohol and cigarettes. That is Pastor Jerry's testimony. He is now a pastor and so hungry for the things of God and for revival. He shared with us last night that the real truth will truly set you free. He gave us an analogy of eating. If you are hungry-- that is the truth -- but you can go to McDonald's and eat and eat things with no nutritional value or you can cook something good that is nutritious. When we hear the truth, it will penetrate our heart and set us free. Some are sitting in churches where the Word of God is not being taught and the people are still living in bondage, but if we come to God and hear the truth it will set us free. Pastor Sue testified to how she has come alive since the revival hit. Her gifts that were lying dormant have come out and God is using her to touch other people. She had been praying for jobs for her daughter's boyfriend and for her son and both now have jobs that they enjoy. God is blessing them because of their faithfulness to Him. They so blessed us.

Meeting #3-April 21, 2007
AWESOME!! Our God is AWESOME! God wants to touch HIS people!! That was exactly what He did tonight. He showed up in the place in a most powerful way! One 14 year old young man testified in the beginning of the meeting about how God had changed his life. At 14 he had tried cigarette smoking, alcohol, marijauna and tried to fit in with all the "cool" kids. He cussed and acted out and didn't do what he was supposed to do. He testified how now he just wants more of the Lord and to how God has touched him. After that the place was pretty much a wreck! Many people getting touched with the power of God. Some were shaking, some laughing, others crying as God was doing a work in His people. One was prayed for to come into his calling as an evangelist and the mantle of that calling dropped on him. The Lord wants to touch His people so that they can walk in the gifts and calling that He has for them. He has a purpose and a plan for each of us and if we don't spend time with Him and get into His presence, then we will never walk in all that He has for us! God is so good!! Tomorrow morning we'll all be at City Worship Centre at 10AM which meets at the ball park on Irvington Road, but back at the Revival Center at 7:30PM.

Meeting #4-April 22, 2007
Boot camp has begun! The Lord had a strong word for us tonight! He needs us to not take offense and to forgive those who hurt us. We cannot hold onto anything that comes against us. We have to love our enemies and bless them. Having unforgiveness keeps us from heaven and from our breakthrough and from our miracle.  We have to go to our brother and ask for forgiveness even if we are not wrong. We have to stand in His peace even when it seems like everything is coming against us.  Scripture references for tonight were Matthew 5:44-45 and Proverbs 4. We are off Monday and Tuesday and will be back on Wednesday, April 25.

Meeting #5-April 25, 2007
God is so good! The meetings are getting better and better and the BEST is yet to come!! The worship was awesome and the Lord began to reveal things to me during worship. He was stirring up my vision and calling for the nations. The Lord challenged us to look into our life and to ask what it was that was keeping us from a deeper relationship with Him. The scripture reference for tonight was Matthew 4:19-20 where Jesus called the disciples. Simon and Andrew were fishing when the Lord called them to come and follow Him. They gave up their nets and their boat and their entire life as they knew it to follow the Lord. Bishop Wes shared about how he was a professional bowler and when he came to the Lord, he realized after a Sunday school lesson that he could not serve 2 masters and bowling had become one of them. The Lord had him give up bowling which he was very good at and later a very lucrative tree business to follow Him. We were challenged to ask what it was that the Lord wanted us to give up to follow Him. We were encouraged to go deeper in our relationship with the Lord. We were reminded of a message a few weeks ago entitled Passion, Presence, Power and as you get passionate for the Lord you get in His presence and then you will receive more of His power to minister. God is so good and this is just the beginning!

Meeting #6-April 26, 2007

PRAISE, PRAISE, PRAISE!! SHAKE YOURSELF LOOSE!! We danced and praised our God and then Revivalist Donna Geiger kingdom of God are barren and incapable of producing fruit for the kingdom. We have to spend time with the Lord so that He can impregnate us with vision and show us our purpose in order to produce fruit. She also talked about Moses.(Ex 2) He was hidden by his mother at a time when all Hebrew babies under the age of 2 were being killed by order of the Pharaoh. She took the risk and hid him because she recognized something special in him. What is hidden in us? What does God recognize in us that we do not see? (Heb 11:23-24) By faith his mother hid him and she was not afraid of the Pharaoh's edict. All of our fear is abolished in the presence of the Lord. She also talked about our birthright. We are children of the most High God and are entitled to all that He has. We tap into His resources, into His healing power. What stops us from getting our birthright? We looked at Jacob and Esau (Gen 25:29-34) Esau allowed bitterness to take hold and he was unwilling to repent and therefore did not ever redeem his birthright. In God's presence the Lord gives us vision, He calls us to Him and as we die to our selfish desires and press into Him we begin to produce fruit. Our purpose is to serve our generation and we have to spend time in God's presence to see what that calling is. Revivalist Wes delivered an awesome word from the Lord tonight. The Lord gave her a message about the presence of the Lord being the birth canal to the Spirit. We have to get into the Lord's presence so that He can impregnate us with vision and calling. She used the example of Mary the mother of Jesus and Elizabeth mother of John the Baptist. (Luke 1:26-38) Mary was impregnated by the Holy Spirit to have Jesus. Elizabeth who was barren was incapable of having children and was pregnant at the same time as Mary. She gave birth to John the Baptist who had a purpose as the forerunner of Jesus. The Lord took an impossible situation in both women and used it for His glory.

 

Meeting #7-April 28, 2007

Holy Ghost Revival!! God is so good! He continues to shake the things that are not rooted on Him and is working to set His children free. If we are lead by the Holy Spirit we are called sons of God! (Romans 8:13-14) What an awesome statement! We will never get ourselves ready to come into the presence of God. He loves us as we are and wants us as we are. When we come to Him and humbly surrender to Him, He can do a mighty work that only He can do. We cannot be ashamed of what the Lord has done nor of His power and His glory. HE chose the foolish things of this world to confound the wise and even ourselves. Jesus did some radical things. The prophets of the Old Testament were called on to do some radical things for the Lord, what would the Lord ask us to do and what would we be willing to do. Do we care about our reputation with man or our reputation with God? He is a supernatural God and will do supernatural things if we will believe and surrender to Him. God needs people to be on fire for Him, NOT lukewarm and we cannot be hot for Him if we never spend time in His presence. God is looking for us to do something that we have never done before. He is positioning us by the Holy Spirit to do those things. The same level that we are touched, we will touch the world. How hungry are you for a touch from God? What will you do with the touch? Do you want to see others set free? Do you want to use what you have received to impact the world? We can't imagine what God can do in a year. Our minds cannot go there! Nothing is impossible with God! God is so awesome! Then the Holy Spirit showed up and wrecked the place! Many people were prayed for and many were out under the power of God spending time in His presence letting Him do the work that He needed to do.

 

Meeting #8- April 28, 2007

The Holy Spirit loves it when He is spoken about! He shows up when He is talked about! The Holy Spirit is definitely a REAL entity. The Holy Spirit is part of the God-Head, not just something that is recited in a creed or a prayer. The Holy Spirit is real and active. The Holy Spirit was with the writers of the Bible to write the Word that we live by. Jesus was anointed and baptized with the Holy Spirit before He could do any miracles. The same Holy Spirit that was in Jesus is available to us when we accept Jesus as Lord of our lives. The Holy Spirit is our helper, our comforter, our guide. Before Jesus died, He promised the Holy Spirit would come to the disciples and that same Holy Spirit is available to us. Through the Holy Spirit we are to live each day. The Lord makes a way for us as we are lead by the Holy Spirit. The Lord showed me as I lay on the ground in His presence that I was in a birth canal – which goes back to the message in meeting #6 and it was a difficult birth. I struggled and struggled and could feel intense Holy Ghost pressure. There wasn't any joy after the baby was born because I was too tired to enjoy the baby. The baby was in a breech position. He told me that was analogous to trying to do things our way and not the way of the Holy Spirit. He showed me another birth – one that was very quick and without struggle or pain and full of joy. He said that is the way He makes things when we are lead by the Holy Spirit. The Lord wants us to live each day guided by the Holy Spirit! The Lord touched me  tonight in an awesome way again reiterating to be lead by the Holy Spirit in all things. The anointing presence of God was thick in the place tonight and all present could feel His presence and were touched by the power of the Holy Spirit.

 

Meeting #9-April 29, 2007
Food, Fellowship and Fun! Revival is not just about spending time with God, it is also about spending time with your spiritual family. We were blessed with awesome worship and praise dance from Infusion! They are an anointed dance team that is part of Seeker's International Ministry. You can check them out at www.myspace.com/infusionministries . We heard a continued message on the Holy Spirit. Tonight's message was on the working of the Holy Spirit in our lives. We need the Holy Spirit and cannot live our lives without Him. He guides us and leads us, teaches us, empowers us to be witnesses, fills us, renews and refreshes us, frees us from the law of sin and death and gives us victory over our flesh. We had an altar call and several rededicated their lives to the Lord which was awesome! They were also prayed for to receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. We finished the evening with smoothies and desserts and a time of fellowship. We will be back at the revival center on Wednesday, May 2^nd!

 

Meeting #10 May 2, 2007
If God said it, that settles it!! What do we believe? Do we believe that the entire Word of God is true? Do we believe that God still heals today? Do we believe that God is our provider? Do we stand steadfast in our faith or do we waver? Are we tossed to and fro or are we strong in what the Lord has promised? Do we know what the Lord has promised? This was the Word tonight. We cannot be double minded and expect God to work in our lives. We have to know His Word and believe it, end of story. We cannot believe in His word 99% and doubt 1%. God's promised are true, ALL of them. He is faithful everyday no matter what the situation looks like. If we are sick, we cannot let the symptoms tell us that we are not healed. We have to believe the Word of God that tells us that we are healed and stand on it. As we stand on the promises of God, our faith increases and so will our harvest. We must know the Word of God so that we have it to stand on. We must spend time in God's word getting to know what He says to us. We can't throw out part of the Bible because we don't agree with it – we must believe it all! The meetings keep getting better and better. We had 4 new people tonight and were blessed to be able to get in the Presence of God. The anointing presence of God is so sweet and many were prayed for and touched by the hand of God. God is on the move and is shaking up the Northern Neck!

 

Meeting #11 May 3, 2007

If God said, that settles it! So how do we move from God said it to its manifestation. . . .FAITH! Faith will move mountains if we believe and do NOT doubt! There are many examples of faith in the Bible. We have to be ready to do the corresponding action for our faith. There is faith for provision and faith to move obstacles. There is obedient faith, authoritative faith, working faith, desperate faith, blind faith and others. We went through several examples in the Bible of faith and in each case it was the faith of the individual that got Jesus' attention and that moved God to perform a miracle. We must hold onto what God says and tighten up our faith to see God move. We were challenged to watch our mouths for the next week to see if we are speaking faith out of our mouths or speaking doubt. We were encouraged to keep each other accountable and to remind each other when doubt creeps in.

 

Meeting #12 May 4, 2007

God is so awesome! His presence was so thick in there tonight and it was wonderful! The River is rising and we are going deeper in the things of God. Many were touched tonight as the River of God saturated us. We had a former heroin addict committ her life to the Lord. Tears streamed down her face as she felt the presence of God. Another brought in her injured puppy and had him prayed for as we all stood in agreement that the puppy is healed by the stripes of Jesus. Others were also prayed for and touched as the power of God ran rampant in that place. As for me,  I found my usual place on the floor. God hit me hard and pulled out of me some things that I didn't even know were still there. He showed me some truths that will help me move into my future as the woman of God that I am. God is teaching me to stand firm in faith for what He has told me is to come and showing me who I am. It was such an awesome presence in the place. Everyone should be there! Everyone who is not here in the meetings is missing out! I am so hungry for God right now -- I didn't want to leave the building. I had to peel myself off the floor -- I was stuck face down and couldn't move. That was after I got hit with the fire of God and was thrashing and rolling around and shaking on the ground. God's power is amazing and in HIS presence anything can and will happen.

Meeting#13 May 5, 2007
When many were out celebrating Cinco de Mayo, we were busy getting in the presence of God and fanning the flame or for some getting the fire of God. God challenged us to stir up the gifts and the fire that has been given to us just as Timothy was encouraged to stir up his gifts (2 Tim 1:5). We cannot be effective for the Lord if we are not on fire for Him. Being cold in the kingdom doesn't do any good. We have to stir up the fire that is in us even when we don't have a meeting to go to and when things are not looking good. We have to press into the things of God and stay on fire for Him. Wes had me share a vision that the Lord showed me 2 nights ago. He showed me a circus. He showed me the individual acts of the circus and correlated them with how people act today. He showed me a tumbler; continuously doing flips and not staying in one place. This is like someone who is not planted in the Word of God or in a body of believers. It is someone who is tossed to and fro and not standing for the Lord. He showed me a juggler. This is somone who is juggling so many things and busy for the church, but missing out on what God has for them. They are so consumed with keeping the balls in the air that they do not see what God is calling them to do. There was the stilt walkers; they are so far above everyone that they cannot see the people around them that need their help; that they should be reaching out to. The flame thrower-- should be on fire for God and spewing Words of freedom, but instead are stirring things up, sowing seeds of anger, bitterness and deceit with a flaming tongue. The clowns-- put on masks to make everyone else happy-- when really inside they are not happy, only wearing the mask to pretend they are okay. How many of us have worn masks at one point? Masks are safe, anonymous and don't require any risk. We need to pull off our mask and be the people of God that we were created to be. He showed me a tight rope walker--- trying to walk the straight and narrow; afraid of failing, afraid of falling, afraid of ruining the show with a fall; consumed in keeping themselves from falling that they cannot reach out to others. The trapeze artist -- swinging from trapeze to trapeze -- but in order to go from one to the other -- must let go. Many cannot let go and let God. When we trust the Lord and trust that He will catch us if we take a step of faith there is victory. Just as if when you let go on the trapeze, and suddenly someone on the other one grabs you -- there is victory. Then He showed me that the entire circus is for show; it is to entertain people and to make them feel happy. When in reality-- all of the circus people are just going through the motions, putting on happy faces and trying to entertain. Sadly many churches have become bound in religion and are like this. The people love the Lord, but don't realize how much more their is. That is where I was. I didn't know there was more to God. I didn't know that His power and presence was a real thing. I just knew that Jesus died on the cross to save me. I didn't know that the Holy Spirit was real. I didn't know that He still worked today. But as I opened my heart and surrendered to God, He came near to me and opened up my life to a new me and a whole new realm of God. Everything in the Bible is for today. I once was each of these circus people, but now I can be on fire for God and run with Him to save a lost and dying world.

 
Meeting #14 May 6, 2007

The presence of God is amazing! The meetings keep getting better and better! The best is truly yet to come! As we finished week #3, the Holy Spirit challenged us to serve the Lord out of devotion not out of duty. God watches our hearts and our motives. There are many things that we won't do for the kingdom if we are serving out of duty instead of devotion. If we serve out of duty, there will be strings attached to what we are doing or we might have an attitude about doing whatever it is. It is a privilege to serve the Lord and to do His work. I had such peace tonight, it was awesome! We also heard a couple of testimonies about keeping our heart right with the Lord as that can prevent what the Lord is wanting to do in and through us. God is wonderful! We will start meetings back on Wednesday. Wes and Donna will be at City Worship Centre on Sunday to do the service so please come and join us for the meetings this week and on Sunday!

 

Meeting #15 May 9, 2007
FAITH, FAITH, FAITH! We live by FAITH not by sight! 2 Corinthians 5:7. God is pushing us to increase our faith. It can be hard to walk by faith because we cannot see or hear what is going to happen. The Lord told me at the beginning of the year, that up until now I have only had to believe for things that I could see happening easily in the natural. He challenged me at the beginning of the year to believe for the impossible. I feel like now He is pushing me to do that and He is giving me the tools to stand in FAITH! There are a lot of scriptures on faith. We must learn from the examples in the Bible. There were many men of little faith and few with BIG FAITH. The ones with BIG FAITH saw BIG miracles. The ones with little faith still saw miracles, but Jesus rebuked them on the way and Jesus was needed for the miracle. We have to believe and not murmur. If we murmur and give God a time frame, then really we are doubting and complaining. We have to be willing to give up the familiar and move to a place of unfamiliar. We must see possibility as a grasshopper and not a giant. It is impossible to please God without faith! Faith is believing beyond hope! God does not guarantee that we will get everything that we are believing for, but we have to believe and stand in faith anyway if it is something that the Lord has promised us. We have to take what we are believing in faith for and declare it out of our mouth. It is a season for breakthrough! We must breakthrough with our faith! It is time for BIG FAITH! I know I was challenged to stand firm and to quit murmuring about the things that have not come to pass yet that I have been promised. I was also challenged to not put a time frame on the Lord. God is so good. The meetings are getting better and better! Tomorrow night our friends Pastors Wayne and Joan Flint from Elmira, NY will be there to share in the meeting.

Meeting #16 May 10, 2007
What does it take for revival? Revival starts inside of each one of us! We have to spend time with God for that revival to happen. We have to get into the flight simulator and allow God to prepare us for what is to come. We have to be diligent about pressing into God for more and we have to stay hungry for Him. God will reward those who get into His presence. We talked about some steps to revival. We need to check for ourselves what the Word of God says. We can't take things as gospel truth just because some person said it. We have to learn to study the Word for ourselves. We get our wisdom from Jesus and not from man. We understand the Scripture through the Holy Spirit not our own mind. We need to get in His presence and allow the Potter to shape us into His image. We have to get rid of attitudes and just love the Lord and His people. We have to turn our hearts to Jesus not to the doctrines of man. The Lord wants His people to be walking in the fullness of what He has. He has visions and purposes for each of us and we have to get into His presence to discover it and to fulfill it! We were blessed tonight by Infusion as well as Pastors Wayne and Joan Flint from Elmira, NY. We were also blessed by the presence of the Holy Spirit. Many were touched tonight as the Holy Spirit came in during praise and worship. Revivalist Wes began pulling people out as the Holy Spirit lead and prayed for them. One lady who had not been there before left the meeting with many burdens lifted off of her. She cried out desperately for God and He met her and gave her what she needed.

Meeting #17 May 11, 2007
"The Importance of One"
We talked tonight after an awesome praise and worship about how much a difference one person can make. We do not realize how important just talking to one person about the Lord can be. We do not know the call that that one person may have on their life and who will be touched through you. A touch of God is not just for us, it is to pass on to someone else. The more God touches us the more we can touch the lost and dying world. We have to let God prepare us so that we can do what He is calling us to do and to touch other people. He shared examples of how many of us in the room were touched by God through Pastors Mike and Lesley of City Worship Centre who were touched by God by Wes and Donna and now many of us are touching other people. It is important to get a touch from God so that we can do what we are called to do otherwise God will get someone else to do that job. Wes started praying for people as the Lord lead and the Holy Spirit rocked the house! I got hit so hard. The Lord confirmed some things in me that I am believing for and I shook, laughed and rolled all around on the ground. It gave witness to the term holy roller God is so good! Just when you think you can't get touched any harder or stronger, look out, God has more. There is always more and I want more!! I want to see the dead raised and people healed. I want to see nations taken back for the Lord in one day, I want to see millions saved. I am going to praise God and worship Him and press in to Him until I see those things and the Lord takes me to heaven. God is awesome! If you are in the area, you NEED to be here!

Meeting #18 May 12, 2007
God is so awesome! He is forming our Seeker's International Ministry team and He used all of us to share and Infusion to dance and minister with their anointed gift. God is preparing us to touch this world for Him and in the meantime using us in Kilmarnock. The teaching this evening was on being intimate with God. We learned steps to help us walk closer to God. As we get closer to Him, other things happen. We learn who we are, we learn how to trust God and we learn how to obey Him and to reach out to others. That is what He has taught me. We first begin by learning that God is a good God and He does not want us to fall. He loves us unconditionally as we are, where we are. We also heard teaching on giving and how as we give our entire heart to God we grow more intimate with Him and then we not only give of ourselves in time but also in our finances. God knows our hearts as we give our finances. If we can trust God with our finances which are near and dear to us, He can trust us with more and more. I know that the Lord rocked my boat in July 2005 when He had me empty my checkbook account during the 2nd meeting that I was in at Pastor Rodney Howard Browne's Camp Meeting. God promised me that day that my bills would always be paid. I watched miracles in my finances that summer as within a week, God gave me in a bonus more than 5 times what I had given. God took me to a new level that week and shook me free of religious tradition. There was no price to pay for that. God is good! SIM will be at City Worship Centre at 10AM in the morning! Be there!

May 13, 2007 Happy Mother's Day!
City Worship Centre AM
This morning the SIM team was invited to share at City Worship Centre of Kilmarnock. We had a powerful word about taking a stand against the enemy and standing in the power and authority of the Lord. Submit to the Lord and the devil will flee from you! We need to first submit to God. We need to be sure that we are saved and that we have closed all the doors that allow the enemy in. The enemy can be allowed in when we don't have our heart right about a certain situation or person. We can have open doors through unforgiveness, bitterness, envy or any immoral thing that we do or drugs, alcohol, etc. We have to close those doors and take a stand for ourselves against the enemy. We have to use our authority in the Lord and speak out of our mouths IN THE NAME OF JESUS whatever it is we are trying to get rid of or deal with. We have to shut the enemy up in our lives for ourselves and use our authority.

Meeting #19-May 13, 2007
We returned to the Revival Center in the evening and the Lord was waiting on us. We praised and our small group of 10 pressed into the Lord. Infusion helps us shake loose and pour our love on the Lord. The Lord graced us with His presence and allowed us to soak in His love and goodness. We then had a word about how to get our miracle. We have to believe that we have received what the Lord has told us in order to receive it. We have to believe it before we see it not the other way around. The miracle is in the step of faith. Revivalist Wes shared testimony of their time ministering to the homeless in Jacksonville, FL. They picked up 80-100 homeless each week and took them to church and then to lunch at Golden Corral. For 2-1/2 years the Lord provided for the lunch, and for all the other expenses. You needed to be at the meeting to hear all the miracles that he shared that God did during that period of time and all because Revivalists Wes and Donna stepped out and purposed in their heart that they would do what they could to help the homeless. You need to be in these meetings! God is so good. He is teaching us keys that will allow us to impact the Northern Neck and the nations! We will have a break and then be back for week 5 on Wednesday!

 

Meeting #20 May 16, 2007
Wow! I can't believe that we are starting week 5! The meetings continue to be awesome because our God is awesome! I encourage any of you who are close enough to come to the meetings! You are missing it! Tonight we had a guest speaker, Pastor Mike Gates from City Worship Centre of Kilmarnock. He was the vessel the Lord used tonight to deliver a word of encouragement to be lead by the Holy Spirit. He spoke on Galatians 5 and the fruit of the Spirit versus the fruit of the world. We then had a time of prayer and worship.

Meeting #21 May 17, 2007
The Holy Spirit had His way in the place tonight! God is so good! Bishop Wes had one message given to him this morning, but the Holy Spirit had other plans this evening. God wants us to have new wineskins without holes. The Holy Spirit should be allowed to flow out of us, not leak out of us because our wineskins are tarnished and full of holes. I really don't know what to write tonight as I was out under the power of God for a lot of the service. God was doing a deep work in me that I needed. It was a time of refreshing and getting out of the world. Bishop Donna spoke about Zaccheus and how God came to his house and that Jesus wanted to come to our house. I kept hearing the Lord say that He wants every household in the Northern Neck to be saved and that He wants to come to EVERY house. Jesus needs to be the center of our lives and we are redeemed by the blood of Jesus. We are redeemed of all the curses and there is nothing more powerful than the blood of Jesus. God is so awesome! If you are in the area, you MUST be there tomorrow (FRIDAY). God is up to something in the Northern Neck!

Meeting #22 May 18, 2007
How hungry are you?? How desperate are you for a touch from God? God wants to visit His people! He wants us to prepare for a visitation with Him. We prepare by getting to know the King of Kings! We have to first make time for Him! We have to be stewards of our time and MAKE time for Him. We also have to acknowledge our need for HIM! We have to acknowledge that we can not go through life without Him and we cannot fulfill the call He has on each of our lives without Him. We can't clean our self up to get ready for Him, we have to come to Him as we are and let Him do the work. We have to get in His word for ourselves and learn to stand on His truths. We have to have a passion for Him and when we are hungry, we will be filled. Revival starts in the hearts of those who are hungry for HIM.

 

Meeting #23 May 19, 2007
Everywhere Jesus went He HEALED and He healed EVERYONE!  Bishop Wes shared tonight about a message he had heard from Benny Hinn about healing. Pastor Benny Hinn shared about a day in life of Jesus and it included healing, healing, healing! Jesus healed morning, noon and night. Jesus healed when He was hungry and when He was not hungry, He healed when He was angry and when He was happy. He was never too busy to heal. Bishop Wes encouraged us to have the faith like Pastor Benny Hinn and speak faith not doubt. He told us how Pastor Benny never spoke any doubt as He gave the altar call for healing. We must tighten up on our mouths and our faith as the Lord will work according to our faith! We will be having a series of teachings on healing next week beginning Wednesday and those who are sick are encouraged to come and receive their miracle. We will also be having a ladies meeting on Tuesday at 7:30PM. Bishop Donna has some awesome things planned for the daughters of God!

Meeting #24 May 20, 2007
1 Peter 5:7 tells us to "Cast our cares upon the Lord!" It doesn't say to hand them, it says to cast them. Just like fishing, cast them, throw them far away to the Lord. The Lord wants us to cast all of our cares on Him. He wants to carry them, not us. We as humans try to fix everything, but He wants to fix it. We wear out if we carry a heavy load. When we wear down, we don't act as Christ wants us to act. We can be snappy and angry. So we have to give our burdens to the Lord. He tells us that His yoke is easy and His burden is light. He wants us to be yoked to Him, not to the world and to the many cares of the world that can weigh us down and wear us out. We need to LET GO AND LET GOD! We need to cast so hard that the bait comes off! In other words, throw those cares on the Lord so hard that they cannot come back and we cannot retrieve them. The Lord told me that He was cutting the fishing line so that there is no chance to retrieve those burdens. We have to give it to the Lord. The burden won't necessarily go away just because we get in the presence of the Lord, we have to surrender to Him and give Him our cares and burdens. God will give us direction and help us in our problem if we give it to Him. We spent a lot of time in worship and just in His presence casting things upon Him. God is so good! The ladies will gather on Tuesday night at 7:30PM for a ladies meeting with Bishop Donna! Ladies, come join us!

 

May 22, 2007 Ladies Meeting
The Essence of His Presence! It is time for His ladies to be the WOMEN of GOD that they are! Bishop Donna did an awesome job bringing the Word of God tonight. God is raising up His women to be pure vessels for Him. She used an awesome analogy of vases. Some of us are a decorated vase. We put on a pretty face and look like we have it all together, when in fact we are really a mess on the inside. Others are a clear vase that has dirt mix in it. The dirt represents the sin in our lives. We need to ask for forgivess of that sin and bring it under the blood so that we can become the crystal clear vase that the Lord says that we are. A crystal vase is very heavy and just like the weight of God's glory which will come upon us and funnel through us when we are pure before the Lord.

Meeting #25 May 23, 2007
This week has been ordained as a week of healing! It is time for the healing oil to flow. We have to believe 100% that Jesus is our healer! The Word is not difficult, it is simple. Everywhere Jesus went, He healed. Jesus healed in the morning, noon and night. Jesus healed, fed and taught. We have to believe that Jesus still heals today and stand on the Word of God. We cannot murmur and we have to speak the Word and stand on it. We have to believe with no ifs, ands or buts! No excuses. Doesn't matter what it looks like, what the symptom is, we have to believe! We are commanded in James 5 to anoint with oil and a prayer of faith will make the sick well. Bishop Wes shared testimonies of people he has witnessed being healed. He shared of a lady that came to a meeting that was given a week to live because of liver failure and she has now been to Bible school and is serving the Lord. He shared of another who was healed of a gangrene leg from a dog bite. She was going to lose her leg the next week if it wasn't better and is still healed today. Bishop Wes then prayed for those in the building and the healing oil flowed. Literally, the healing oil flowed. My hands were on fire and the weight of His glory was on my hands. Bishop Wes put a little oil on my hands, but supernaturally after 30-45 minutes I still had oil on my hands and it was on my entire hands. Amazing! God is so good!

Meeting #26 May 24, 2007
FAITH, FAITH, FAITH! There is a corresponding action to our step of faith. We have to stand on the Word of God. If Jesus did it, we can do it because the same Spirit that was inside Jesus is inside of us! We have to get back to the simple gospel message. Jesus healed everyone and He still wants everyone to be healed today. Faith goes beyond reason. Everything we need Jesus has! Here are some key phrases for tonight. Jesus will be as real through you as He is to you. The anointing doesn't come and go, it is available for what God needs you to do. You won't always feel anointed. Sickness is nothing but a demon. Healing is a the children's bread.

Meeting #27 May 25, 2007
Jesus wants to heal everyone!! He healed all when He walked this earth and He gave the power and authority to His disciples to do the same. He therefore through the Holy Spirit gives us the same power because we are HIS disciples. In Matt 10:1, Jesus gave the disciples the power to cast out demons and to cure EVERY disease. We have a supernatural benefit package and it includes healing and deliverance. We have to walk in the authority that we have been given and walk in belief that we ARE redeemed of the curse of sickness and disease and that we WERE healed by the stripes of Jesus. We have to have more of Jesus so that the power of God is so strong in us that we will be like Paul and Peter. Paul if you recall the Bible says that even the handkerchiefs that he prayed over healed the sick and Peter's shadow healed the sick. This was because they were so full of Jesus that it poured out of them. We need to press into Him for more and more so that the same will happen through us. More of Jesus and less of us. Jesus plus nothing equals everything. We are the church and we are to walk in the power and authority of Jesus in everything we do and say! Jesus is our HEALER! No IFS, ANDS or BUTS!!

Meeting #28 May 26, 2007
We need to seek Jesus not the healing. Many don't get healed because they seek the healing not the Healer! We continued to speak about healing and our faith continues to rise. Jesus is our healer! He healed, taught and fed everyone! Common sense won't get out of the boat and walk on water. Common sense won't feed 5000 with a little bag lunch. Common sense won't give up but faith holds on and never lets go!! God has been challenging us to stand firm in our faith and to walk out the scriptures! He wants us to stand solely on Him and His Word not on anything else. Nothing is impossible with HIM!! Jesus will do it through us. He doesn't want to do it with us! Jesus is willing to do it! The Holy Spirit was so strong in the place tonight. He was waiting on us! We praised and worshiped and the Lord was showing me that there was going to be an explosion of the anointing that we each carried and that definitely happened. Pastor Mike prayed for Bishop Wes and imparted a special anointing into Him and Bishop Wes then prayed for all of those who felt they were called to carry the healing anointing. I was laughing, rolling and just being loved on by the Lord. He showed me going up a very high ladder and then taking a step to run to Jesus --walking on the clouds -- the water was probably 500 feet below. I got to Him and He said now you have to stand on ME! He is the only WAY! YOU are missing it if you aren't here!!

May 27, 2007 City Worship Centre
God is so awesome! Bishop Wes was again invited to share at City Worship Centre this morning. The word this morning was key ingredients to receiving and helping someone else get their miracle. The scripture was in I Corinthians 13. We need faith, hope and love and the greatest of these is love. We have been talking about healing all week and have had a lot of teachings on faith. We know that we have to trust God and have faith in Him to do what He says that He will do. Today's message was on love. We cannot pray for others without love. We have to give it up and just love on them. We have to love the unlovely and love those that no one else will love. Then we will see the greatest miracles. Bishop Wes prayed for each of us to be able to love others more.

Meeting #29-May 27, 2007
Holy Ghost Collision!! We need to have a collision with the Holy Ghost! Saul on the Damascus Road had a head on collision with the Holy Ghost! This collision caused him to stop persecuting Christians, to preach around the world and to write 2/3 of the New Testament. We need to have the same! We all had a Holy Ghost collision tonight! The Holy Spirit came in and ministered to the hungry. It was awesome!

 

Meeting #30 May 30, 2007
We all need a Holy Ghost head on collision. We continued with the message from Sunday night. Bishop Wes shared the example of how the disciples in the upper room on the day of Pentecost had a head on collision with the Holy Spirit. After they were touched, they sold all their possessions and gave to all those in need. They were also in unity. They were constantly praising God and in prayer. They were more committed and faithful and they had a sense of reverential awe and fear. They were changed. Are we hungry for this same encounter? How hungry and how desperate are you for the things of God? How hungry are you for a deeper relationship with the Lord?? If you are hungry, come to the meetings and get fed and have a Holy Ghost head on collision!

Meeting #31 May 31, 2007
How HUNGRY are you?? It is not hungry enough! You need to get hungrier! God wants to touch His people and He wants us to get hungrier. He wants us to go deeper than we have ever been. He wants us to go deeper so that He can use us to reach other people. God is preparing us for bigger and bigger things in Him. Nothing is IMPOSSIBLE with Him.

Meeting #32 June 1, 2007
Read Hebrews 11 and 12! How HUNGRY are YOU?? Have some joy?? Do you want another drink?? It was a Holy Ghost meeting. You had to be otherwise you missed it! We are going deeper and deeper! We had 3 more Elmira visitors who are more than than hungry for God. They stayed up all night driving 450 miles to come to get into the presence of God! God honored that hungered and touched them tonight! Time is running out for these extended meetings! If you are in the area, I strongly encourage you to come. We will finish June 16th!

Meeting #33 June 2, 2007
Peace, Peace, there is nothing better than the peace of Jesus! He spoke to the storm and calm came. He wants us to live in peace in any storm. The anointing presence of God was strong in the place tonight. We pressed in in praise and worship and allowed the Spirit of God to flow. God is doing a deep work in each of us that will propel us to the next level in Him.

Meeting #34 June 3, 2007
The Lord showed us a different way to view Matthew 8:6. It states in that verse that the servant lay at home paralyzed and in terrible suffering. The Lord showed us that this is the state of the world. The world has many people living it that are lying at home sick and paralyzed. They are lost and suffering. God is preparing His church to do something about it. Jesus said to the man that He would come and restore him. Jesus wants to come and restore His people and He will use us to do that. We also talked about the passage in Luke 14 where it talks about many being invited to the great banquet, but few accepting the invitation. There were many excuses. What is our excuse for coming to Jesus? Are we ready to count the cost and serve the Lord no matter what? Are we a true disciple of Christ? Jesus wants His disciples to count the cost and come after Him no matter the cost. Are we willing to do that?? True disciples see the miracles and live in victory. The cost in not coming to Jesus however is worse than the cost of following Him. Think about it! We sent our Elmira family home about 11PM. We have been so blessed to have had 11 of our Elmira family down over the course of the revival. They are awesome and the Lord has touched them for their efforts to drive 900 miles round trip to get into the presence of the Lord.

 

Meeting #35 June 6, 2007
You don't want to miss YOUR visitation with the Lord. The Lord is wanting to visit His people. It is not enough to just have one touch from the Lord. He wants to touch us and minister to us each and every day. How hungry are we for a touch from God? To what lengths will we go? Will we stay up until 6AM worshiping the Lord? God will show up if we expect Him to. It shouldn't be a question of will God show up, but when will God show up. God has a divine purpose for us and we have to get in His presence to find out what it is. He has plans that He wants to reveal to us, but can only do that when we yield to Him and get into His presence. God has been stirring up my hunger! I couldn't wait for Bishop Wes to start praying for people. I almost got up and asked for prayer before He finished preaching. When I finally was prayed for, God showed me a vault. It was about a foot thick and He said to press into Him to open it. I tried to press on the wall, but it wouldn't move and I said, God I can't move this, You have to. He said to keep pressing in and pressing into Him. I did and eventually, one by one the Lord showed me the combination to the lock and the door opened. When the door opened I saw mounds of gold and silver. He said that the scripture is true, the gold is His and the silver is His. Then I saw many of the things that I have been believing for. I saw the nations and I heard the cries of the people need to be set free and saved. God wants us to press in for more and more of Him!!

Meeting #36 June 7, 2007
Getting God's attention! Cornelius got God's attention with prayer and giving alms to the poor so much so that the entire Gentile race was saved! We get God's attention by earnestly seeking Him. He is the rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. We get His attention when we worship no matter the circumstance and when we praise and rejoice no matter what is coming against us. When we are faithful and obedient to Him, we get His attention. We get His attention when we are not double-minded, but rather stand firm on His word. We get His attention when we are passionate about Him and what He desires for His people. We get His attention when we do something for someone else and when we believe for something for someone else. We get His attention when we are totally committed in our heart to Him. Everyone in the place went up for prayer to be more committed to the Lord.

Meeting #37 June 8, 2007
We will receive power when the Holy Ghost comes on us as it states in Acts 1:8. What will we do with this power and why do we have it?? It is the power to forgive and not take offense. It is the power to love each other and to love the unlovely. It is the power to give and to be generous. It is the power to stop and not walk past the lame. The power to stop and say silver and gold have I none, but what I do have I will give you. It is the power to embrace the vision that God wants for our lives. It is the power to walk in faith and to believe the Word of God. It is the power to obey God. We are empowered to worship God. Worship is one of the greatest weapons against the enemy. We have been given a great power at Pentecost, but what are we going to do with it?? Are we going to sit around and be couch pototoes or are we going to be lead by the Holy Spirit and share with others. What good is power if we don't use it?

Meeting #38 June 9, 2007
God wants the river of God to flow through us! He does not want us to be all bound up. We cannot receive from God when we are bound up and we cannot give out to others when we are bound up. Bishop Wes used an awesome example with a garden hose to illustrate how the Spirit of God is to flow into us and through us. If the hose is open water will flow through it, but when it is kinked up no water will flow. The water will back up and become stagnant. When the kink is unleashed, a flood will occur. There are many things that will kink up our Holy Ghost hose. We can be bound in religion which will squash the vision and keep us from our full potential in the kingdom. That was one for me! Unforgiveness, disobedience, ought with our brother will all cause us to not receive from the Lord. If we speak bad about another person, it can stop up the flow. We can have freedom and allow the Holy Spirit to move through us and all one little bit of offense to come in and totally kink up the move of God through us. We have to keep ourselves right with the Lord and be quick to repent when we have any sin or ill thought come into our lives. God wants us free. He wants us tapped into heaven and the Holy Ghost flowing into us and back out of our bellies as it states in John 7:38. Out of our bellies will flow living water. That is the Holy Spirit. God wants us to seek His face to see what it is that is kinking our Holy Ghost hose. God will also expand our hose. As we get closer to Him, He will enlarge our vision and enlarge our well. More Holy Ghost will flow into us to touch others. As we give away the Holy Spirit, we are given more. God is so awesome! He is doing awesome things through these meetings. We are quickly coming to an end to this extended revival. We will have our last meeting on June 16. So if you haven't made it here and you are local, you need to hurry up! You are missing it!

June 10, 2007 Meeting #39
There is power in unity!! It is not the number of people, but unity in the group that the Lord is using that is the power. The enemy will do all that he can do to bring disunity. We have to not take offense and repent quickly when we sin in order to keep the unity. We also have to keep each other girded up in prayer.

 

Meeting #40 June 13, 2007 Where are you standing? Are you standing in the world or are you standing for Jesus? Are YOU committed or not? Are in in the River of God or Not? Where are we?? We have to not strattle the fence, but take a stand for Jesus. We have to not lose site of why we are on this earth. We are hear to serve the Lord and to bring others to Jesus. We are to be a reflection of Jesus everywhere we go. We will be happier when we are serving the Lord whole heartedly. There is joy in being faithful to the Lord. We need to have our roots deep in the River of God. In the River of God there is life! We will live when we are in the River of God. The River of God is flowing and it is time for us to take a stand for Jesus and be the people of God that we were created to be! Don't miss the last few meetings! Saturday, June 16th will be our last meeting for this extended revival!

Meeting #41June 14, 2007
How hungry and thirsty are we for the things of God?? Can you press in for more?? God wants to give us so much! We all need a break through and we have to press into God to get it!

Meeting #42June 15, 2007
Fire, fire, fire! Do we want the fire of God?? John the Baptist came to baptize with water, but said that one was coming to baptize in the Holy Ghost and FIRE! We need that fire to propel us to our destiny; to minister to people and to be Jesus to those around us. What can prevent us from getting the FIRE? Unforgiveness and offense!! We need to have our hearts right before the Lord and before man and then the Lord will touch us! The Lord forgives us as much as we forgive each other. Harboring unforgiveness can keep us from going to heaven. We have to be quick to repent when we sin and quick to forgive each other and be very careful not to take offense. We were challenged tonight to ask the Lord to show us any unforgiveness and offense and then those who wanted the fire were prayed for! Many asked for prayer multiple times and the fire got hotter each time! The Lord is so awesome! He was pouring out His Spirit like it is promised in Luke 4:18 and in Joel 4. There was an eruption of joy as victory was found in the place! God is so good! Tomorrow is the last night of these revivals!

Meeting #43 June 16, 2007
Final Meeting of the Northern Neck Revival! Tonight was a night of exhortation. It was a time of encouragement to stand in all that we have learned over the past 9 weeks. We were encouraged to stay hungry and thirsty for the things of God. We are to continue to love each other and those around us. We are to continue to press into the things of God! We are to continue to forgive and to not take offense. We have to continue to believe and to expect the Lord to do as He has promised. We have to continue to stir up our gifts. We have to keep thanking God in all circumstances. We have to continue to be a witness of what the Lord has done and to those around us. We have to continue to stand -- and not in our strength, but in the Lord's. We have to choose life and speak it! We have to continue to prepare for what the Lord is doing in our lives. Our gift will make a way for us! We have to pray without ceasing. We have to keep a constant line of communication with the Lord. We have to continue to stir ourselves up praying in the Holy Ghost. We have to continue in the River of God and continue to stay free! We can't forget who has set us free. It is time to take what we have and set others free! It has been an awesome nine weeks! The best is yet to come!

 

July 5, 2007 Celebration of Liberty Revival
NO MORE BONDAGE!! God wants us free and He wants us to stay free!! HE doesn't want us to get free during revival and then get all bound up again. We finished 9 weeks of revival on June 16th and where are we 2 weeks later! Did we get free in the first place and then are we still free?? What happens when we are free?? We have freedom in our worship, we have freedom in our giving, we have freedom to pray for other people, we have freedom to pray in public, we have freedom to follow the Holy Spirit and do what He tells us to do even if it doesn't make sense in the natural! God wants us free and to stay free!! 

 

July 6, 2007
Time to PRAISE, PRAISE, PRAISE our God!! There is so much freedom in praise. God wants to see us set free and as we praise Him the bondage falls off. We have to get excited about our awesome God! We can get excited at football games or soccer games, but what about our God! The one who sent Jesus to die on the cross for us! Why can't we get excited about Him?? The world needs more people excited for the Lord! We entered into His presence in praise tonight and it was awesome! The Lord has used a song -- called Make A Miracle in My Heart to draw us closer to Him because He wants to do a miracle in us and through us! We praised and praised and personally, I felt the joy of the Lord in a way that I haven't felt in a LONG time. I laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed some more. It was awesome. It was freedom at its best! It was the Lord at His best. I said that I felt freer tonight than even through all the 9 weeks of revival. God is so awesome! He has saved my life and changed me!! Praise God!

July 7, 2007
God is so good! God loves us all and sees all that we do for Him. He wants us to do things unto Him and not unto man. Bishop Wes preached on Acts 9 tonight and talked about Ananias. Everyone knows about Paul, but what about Ananias who was obedient to go to Paul on Straight Street and pray for him and allow God to use Him to heal Paul. When Paul encountered the Lord, He immediately began to preach the Name of Jesus the very one he was killing people for. God used Ananias to set Paul free to minister to all of the Gentiles and to write 2/3 of the New Testament. God sees all those who labor for Him and He wanted to encourage all of us that He sees our hearts!

July 8, 2007
AM at City Worship
Are you HOT or COLD for the Lord? We need to be HOT for the Lord not lukewarm or cold. Were the disciples in the Upper Room baptized in ice?? The Holy Spirit came and flames of fire fell that day and it was that encounter that propelled them to go into the world and to be Jesus to the world. It is the same today. That same fire that fell on the disciples is ours today. We need to be on fire for the Lord. We can scream and shout at football games and paint our faces, but what do we do for the Lord. Are we HOT for Him? What will we do for HIM?? Are we a Sunday only Christian? or are we a 7 day a week, 24 hour a day Christian??

PM -- Last night of revival --- we had a night of praise and worship and prayer and intersession for the Northern Neck.
