Letters from a Revivalist

(This picture taken somewhere between Dallas TX and San Antonio, TX)

Today I spent most of the day in much needed prayer. The truth is sometimes I get so busy doing Kingdom business I forget the most important thing. Spending time with the Father.

Rhonda is SOOOOO happy to be home. She misses it a lot when we are gone. When we go on the road we live in a 28 X 8 space that we call an RV. We have had this Camper now for 4 years and are praying for something bigger with slide outs. I know my God shall supply all of my needs according to His riches in glory.

Rhonda and the triplets spent all day at her moms house. The triplets love their ma maw. When we arrive they spend more time with ma maw than at home.

We had a pretty good service tonight. The singing was good and people really entered in. Yeah I know every service is suppose to be good. But their not! A lot of times people want you to move them or prophecy over them and if you don't they just set there. In a recent meeting in Colorado a woman told me that I must not have liked her because I hadn't given her a word. Things people come up with.

Back to the service, I preached a message I titled, "Preach Jesus." I won't get into the sermon but there is a lot of truth just in the title.

The church we are holding services at is called, "The Country Church." The Pastors are Jerry and Linda Watts. Yes as I have stated before they are my in laws. Jerry is one of the most gentle men I know. He has a great love for the move of God.

Pastors Jerry & Linda Watts - Mena, AR

The Country Church Sanctuary

There were many who came up for prayer. A man was delivered from tobacco last night, and a couple came forward for prayer to get pregnant. I believe she will conceive in the name of Jesus.

I get such a thrill to pray for people and watch God do a work right in front of your eyes. We serve an awesome and powerful God. I have to get ready for the mornings service which is Resurrection Sunday.

Praise God He is Risen!

OK i admit it I love to preach. Yeah I know your a revivalist so you have to like to preach. If you really believe that then you ought to preach in some of the places that I have had to preach in. I still like to preach. One of my favorite times was when I was in Uganda and a factory allowed me to come in and preach to their workers. I preached twice and wow the Word of God changed the lives of so many.


We are currently at home preaching at "The Country Church." The pastors are Jerry and Linda Watts (my inlaws). When Rhonda and I resigned as pastors a year and half ago we turned the church over to her parents and I must say they have done a great job.


Though I am the apostle over the church, I love to preach there. Tonight we had around 30 people present. We are having an Easter Miracle Service this weekend. I will finish up Sunday AM. I preached tonight, How To Change Your Destiny. If you want the notes on that service please email me. apostletj@gmail.com


There was great singing. My dad and mom drove from Tahlequah and my dad sung tonight. I dont get to play or sing with him much but when I do I am always blessed. He has taught me a lot and I appreciate his abilities.


There was several there who needed to be delivered and many came forward to release God's destiny in their lives. I praise God for His anointing to change the schemes of satan and turn our greatest defeats into victories.


I hope to keep these blogs short and sweet so many will read them.

Please pray for my trip to Uganda I wont be leaving until the end of November 2008, but there is over $12000.00 to still raise and arrangements to be made.


Please read yesterdays post to understand why I am writing these posts everyday.

Besides the every other week postings I feel the need to share a blog of everday events of a revivalist. I hope that in ways it will show what goes on in a life of a family that is on the road doing their best to serve the Lord.

I will try to be candid and truthful to share the victories as well as near disasters. I pray that many people will start reading and sharing with others. I will try to be clear and let you into our lives as much as I can. No I wont share any arguments between Rhonda and I LOL.

I will share frustrations, the places we have visited and many of the miracles that we have seen taken place. Please feel free to leave comments. It is a very difficult life even for those who are called. With statistics saying that 15 ministers leave the ministry every day I can truly understand why.

Even as much as I love serving the Lord it can be very difficult. Even the past two weeks I have been fighting an illness as well as a depressing feeling. I know and quote often I am more than a coqueror through Him that loves me.

So please join me as I share the road and the power of Christ as I journey through the world preaching the precious name of Jesus Christ.

I will also try to take more pictures to share. Of course there will be a lot of shots of the triplets.

The next blog you will read will be a blog of tonight service in Mena, Ar at the Country Church.

Rhonda and I thank you so much for your prayers and support. Please keep in touch. TJ
