I Need a Dreamer and a Doer

The ministry can one of the toughest lives there is to live.  We have to be strong when we feel week, honest even when it will hurt us, and have a moral character that is impeccable.  

I know there are a lot of things that one can do to help themselves in these areas, but one of the greatest keys is to, "Surround myself with  dreamers and the doers, the believers and thinkers, but most of all, surround myself with those who see the greatness within you, even when you don’t see it yourself.”

You are who you hang with

In ministry, you will need other people to help you achieve your goals. Whether you are the boss of many or the boss of few -- or just part of the few -- you will need others to become successful. This is a fact of life that is undeniable.  The "Me and Jesus" theory DOES NOT WORK!

The bottom line is that to achieve great heights, you must fly with the best. And others will judge you based on those that surround you. So choose your lieutenants carefully.

If you choose men and women of quality, competence and integrity to work with and you are able to work well together, you will come off looking brilliant from the onset. By picking the right crew, you will gain respect. By picking the wrong crew, you will be derided as someone that can't even pick the right people to work with, let alone manage them or organizations of any sort.

Becoming more successful

As your organization grows and you become more and more successful, you want to make sure to spread the anointing . The last thing you want is for your lieutenants and soldiers to start whispering behind your back and starting rumors that undermine your position.

Thus, you must make sure to keep them happy -- but not too happy. A fully content man is never as effective as a man with hunger in his eyes. So remember to keep your guys happy by praising them and giving them material rewards as a show of appreciation.

Don't spoil them, though, lest they become ingrates. Let them know you actually care and want God's best for them and will help them in their ministry as well.  For those of you who are wondering what exactly a man of quality consists of, I'm about to let you know.

You want to have a strong right hand man, a man with a good reputation, a man who can hold his tongue, and, finally, you want good friends on your side when you need them to be there.

FRESH ANOINTING POWER

FRESH ANOINTING POWER

God allows your trial because He wants to make you “devil-proof”! That does not mean you will not be attacked again but you will be trained to stand! It is all part of His preparing you for greater service, greater anointing and expanded usefulness in His kingdom.

Furthermore, the Lord is trying to strengthen you against the devil’s wiles. He is raising up a body of believers who have faced the devil, who have been strengthened against him, and who know his devices and are not afraid of him! God is saying, “Once you understand why you are going through this, you will have taken back all the ground you lost. You will be in control again—by the power of the Holy Spirit!”

Once Elijah’s trial was over (see 1 Kings 19) he would never run again. He now had a sense of direction and he was reassured in his spirit. You see, God was about to send him to nations to raise up kings, leaders and prophets!

God told Elijah: “Go, return on your way...anoint Hazael as king over Syria...anoint Jehu...as king over Israel. And Elisha...you shall anoint as prophet in your place” (1 Kings 19:15-16). Elijah had been given fresh anointing power. He was in control again!

“So he departed from there” (verse 19). Elijah came out of the cave to do God’s will! He did not have to shed a river of tears. No, he simply had heard the Word of the Lord!

Beloved, the only hold the devil can have on you is fear. And you must shake it off in faith! You have to say, “I am not going down. God is going to give me a fresh anointing from heaven—He is going to use me!”

Do you believe that God is not finished with you—that He is teaching and training you for better things? He wants to speak to you in your cave of despondency. He wants to tell you what to do and where to go—and He wants to bring you out!
So get up out of your despair and shake off the bondage of fear and depression! Depart from your cave. You will discover that the moment you get up and walk out, the anointing will flow!

Please feel free to share this with others.

Today is Nobember 24, 2008 I am in the interior of Uganda in a town by the name of Mubende. I have been holding crusades in a village about 20 minutes from here. There has been miracles that have taken place and many have come to the Lord to recieve Jesus as their saviour.

It is 2:45 in the afternoon and we are in the middle of a rains storm. This morning I was in a Pastor's Conference and I taught about the Five Fold Ministry.

I have had an uncomfortable time, last night I had a tooth that broke and it is causing me much pain. I dont dare go to the dentist here, but I am believing God for a mighty miracle. He is the God of miracles.

Already a man with a tumor in his stomach that was protruding was healed the powerful name of Jesus. Another man was having great pain in his leg. He came yesterday to the meeting that God had healed him the night before in the crusade.

I am sorry I cant post a picture the internet speed is horrible it took me 15 minutes to get this page up. I will be here for a couple of more days. The lodge I am staying in is nice, but it aint the Hilton. LOL Beside this I broke Rhonda's new camera. I can tell you I am in big trouble.

God is moving and the reports of miracles are flooding in. As I was being transported to the meeting my host Apostle Herbert Kukuu told me, "No one can sleep the people are so excited about the anointing." When you hear reports like this it makes it worth your pain, your homesickness, and hunger worth while.

I praise God for the opportunity to serve God in this fashion.

I really miss Rhonda, she is always by my side. In most tent revivals and revivals across the US she is with me, she truly is the love of my life and my best friend.

Please keep me in your prayers and I will try to post tomorrow again.

No Agenda But His

TJ

Today is a post of blog for 11/21/08 Some of these blogs might show a different date because of the time difference that we share. It's 5 am here and 8 pm at home in Arkansas. I had one of my best trips by plane that I can remember. Maybe it is because I slept most of the way from Amsterdam and that might be the reason I am awake now. That and because there are a vast amount of mosquitos in my room.

I arrived at Entebbe, Uganda at 9:10 PM got my luggage and was met by Pastor Robert Kaddu. Pastor Robert is the Pastor of Grace Church in Kampala. They had rented me a vehicle and came to pick me up. Unfortunately for us they rented him a lemon. On the way to Kampala the car overheated and we were stranded on the side of the highway.

So let me see, Mosquito infested room, stranded on side of the highway, I haven't heard from Rhonda in over 24 hours. This is going to be a great missionary trip.

I will leave in the morning for a healing crusade with Apostle Herbert Kukuu. Herbert is a young man in his early 30's. He is over 60 some churches in Uganda and many more in Kenya. I met him 4 or 5 years ago on the internet. A few years before I ever planned on coming to Uganda. This will be my first time to minister with his affiliation. We will begin at 3 PM on November 22nd (Saturday) and go until, well only God knows. There will be miracle after miracle and I will pray for the sick until I am totally exhausted. We will be traveling to Mubenda a 4 hour journey to the west of Kampala. I will also be doing a pastors conference and crusades every night. I will be preaching 3 to 4 times a day. Please keep me in your prayers as I labour for the master and build the kingdom of God.

I appreciate all who read these and I ask you to leave a post so we can get some great things generated. I am going to do my best to post once a day and read the other posts.
God bless you and I will see you tomorrow.

Praise God His mercies endure forever. I am so excited about the new book that God has given me, "When Faith Touches the Anointing." I go and pick up the first printing of it tomorrow. I have a better more complete book coming out by June, but I wanted to get a print out before Sunday when I preach at Christ for the World. I am preaching Apostle Bobby Hogans birthday celebration.

The tent revival is going good. We have had some resistance from a pastor but I am praying God will enlighten him. A lot of his church has been coming to the tent and he came when Prophetess Brenda preached and he doesn't like women preachers. As I always say, "Get Over it."

TJ preaching Monday Night

I have had a terrible sore throat for the past two days. I thank God for His power to overcome the flesh and pains that we feel. Tonight I preached a message about going through the fire. Several people were touched as they realized in the middle of their hell Jesus is waiting for them.

Part of the tent crowd

I spent part of the day getting video ready to put on television. I am going to start broadcasting video all over the world through www.GodTube.com . I am very excited to get that started as God gives me a new venue to preach His word.

Many people have been touched by the Hand of God in these meetings tonight was no different. A man with gout in his feet came for prayer and the healing power of God touched his body. On the way out of the tent he was saying, "I already feel so much better." Praise God for His healing power.

TJ ministering in prayer line

Tomorrow night I will be having a salt service. I am believing that many miracles are going to take place in this powerful service.

The tent services have been amazing. Last Monday night there was a mighty move of God. We didnt leave the tent until 11:00 pm. People acting like it was the day of Pentecost. I Preached on How 2008 is going to be a year of the Harvest.

People were blessed, marching around the tent, Praise God for His wonderful move.

The tent has been having 35-40 people a night. There has been rain and it looks like rain now. It reminds of the tent revival in Tahlequah, OK last year. We were there 21 days and it rained every day but two.

The triplets are having a blast. Colton came up for prayer last night it is so wonderful to see a three year old get caught up in what God is doing. He is going to be a mighty apostle one day.

Faith, Colton, and Rebekah

Rebekah is spending the week with maw-ma. That is Rhonda's mom. I am going to ministering Thursday and Friday night. Thursday I will be handing out green prosperity clothes and Friday we will be having a salt service.

I am also going to have a prophetic seminar Saturday at 11:00am. The Holy Spirit spoke to me and told me that the prophetic is, "The ability to open up heaven on earth through an action or a word." I am expecting a wonderful time

Unfortunately for me writing these blogs takes more time than what I thought. I know it has been two days since the last blog but I have been swamped. We started the Holy Ghost Tent Revival Friday with a pretty good crowd.

The weather was cool but the fire of the Holy Ghost warmed things up. I preached that we are living under the privelage that God has for us. Many people were touched and lives were changed.

I am going to start getting pictures so you can see the results and what the meetings are like. I am doing this revival with Prophetess Brenda Jeffery. She preached a powerful message on It's Time to Repent.

We doubled in size of the congregation with about 40 in attendance. I am thinking this is pretty good with the little advertisement that we have had.

Today Sunday, I preached in Mena and then came to a 7:00 pm service at Texas Road Worship Center Pastor Jerry Lee Anderson. He had a special service of nailing your needs to the cross.

We have finally arrived back to our RV and I have checked the tent out and all is well. Tomorrow I am going to start getting things back in order and get hold of a Southern Gosple Radio Station 88.9 FM here in Fort Smith about some advertisement.

All of our meetings are filmed on High quality DVD so if you want a set of these services you can purchase a whole week for $50.00

I believing for God to come and rain His Power on us in this tent meeting. If you would like more information about these meetings email me at apostletj@gmail.com

Tomorrow I will have pictures and you will be able to see what is happening in this powerful Holy Ghost Tent Revival.

Praise the Lord I got my tent stretched with little droop. I am praying and believing for a new tent. I can purchase a brand new one for $6500.00 I have over half of it saved and we have been saving for the last 3 months. I am believing God to give the increase so we can take our tent revivals to a new limit. I bought 125 new chairs a couple of months ago and have 80 more to go with them.

I am also looking at buying a couple of tent heaters for $700.00 each. They will bring a tent to over 70 degrees F when it is 30 degrees outside. There is such freedom in a tent and I can follow after God instead of the rules and regulations of man.

In our next monthly newsletter I am going to bring it to my covenant partners that we need $3000.00 for our new tent. I know many of them will give towards the new tent. There is a great need besides how much easier it will be to put up, the new tent will be more impressive.

I am trying to post a picture of a tent but the system seems to be down right now. Tomorrow will get the rest of the tent set up and the chairs back in place. I washed the tent down tonight. Keep us in prayer and be praying with us about the tent.

I am beat as well as beat up. It is 1 am in the morning and I am setting here praying Lord what did I do to deserve a square tent? I have put up several tents in my life and this is the 10th time I have put this tent up and every time the same problem. It is such a pain. God give me another tent.

Anyways besides the frustration there is great victory. Rhonda with Colton and Rebekah (Faith stayed with Rhonda's parents). arrived in Spiro around 3:00 pm. Rhonda drove the Ford f250 and I drove the f-350. We got the trailor set up and started working on the tent. The guy I am purchasing electric and water from came over and told me not to worry about paying him. He just wanted to bless our ministry. Praise God!

At midnight I was still fighting with the tent. I am praying God will send someone to buy a 48X70 tent. I know with God all things are possible.

I even ordered and watched a DVD on how to put it up but to no avail.

To God be the glory because of His faithfullness to us.

I guess I better go I just fell asleep.

Ok its 2:38 am and our house is in total chaos. When I say that I want you to understand that every time we start loading the camper Rhonda spends at least 4-5 hours getting the triplets clothes ready.

I spend just as much time cleaning and getting everything that has to go ready to go, and if that doesn't top it off ITS A TENT REVIVAL so we must get the tent, chairs, poles, curtains, PA system ( need a new pa head) and all the extra stuff we need to take to make the tent revival happen.

I had to mow the lawn today as well as make sure that the neighbors new we would be gone for a while. I dont forsee us coming home at all until after June the 23rd. I am believing that we are going to get caught up in one of the greatest revivals I have ever been in. It wouldn't hurt my feelings if we moved into an air condition building of some kind.

I can't spend long writing this Rhonda has just got the triplets laying down. They get so excited when it comes time to leave.

Faith, Colton, and Rebekah ready for the road and to do revival

We also went to a tent revival in Waldron, AR. I dont know what I would do if I didnt have any musical experience. Those who dont unless they have people with them that can play I am sure become frustrated. There was no music except for a CD that they sung by. That is fine if it is all you have, but I pray the Lord will send someone to help them out.

As I listened to the minister speak I could tell he had been hurt by the church. It makes me sad but I have been there also and I love the church and know the church is the only hope this world has.

I must get my computer packed but wanted to write this blog before I tore it down. The next blog I write will be on the road and hopefully under the tent.

Wow it has been a very busy three days. We have been in revival at my inlaws church with Prophetess Brenda Jeffery. She did an amazing job as God used her to prophecy into lives that needed the change of God to take place.

Over the past year I have been working on a book. The name of it is, "When Faith Touches the Anointing." I just finished it today. I sent it to the proof reader in Indiana and am also waiting for the forward from Apostle Bobby Hogan.

Speaking of Apostle Hogan, Sunday April 27, 2008 Christ for the World will be having a birthday celebration for the man of God. In honour of his birthday they are going to be having a free dinner after services. I had the honour to be asked to preach at Bobby's birthday celebration service. What an honour! I mean just to get to preach at one of the most fired up Holy Ghost Churches in America is honour enought but to be able to preach at his birthday celebration is such a compliment to the gift of God that is in me. I want to invite all that can to come to this birthday celebration.

I have got a lot done by being home the past couple of weeks. I got our new CD project done, "Preach the Word." I got the book finished, "When Faith Touches the Anointing," and now I have to finish the camper so I can leave Tuesday morning to go to Spiro to set up the tent for our first tent revival in 2008.

If you would like a copy of our new book please contact me by email or leave a comment and we will make arrangements to get the book to you. The cost per book will be $10.00 plus a $2.00 shipping and handling.

In the next few days I will be posting pictures of the tent and what work goes on to putting up the gospel tent.

It's getting closer, I am starting to get excited about the tent revival in Spiro, OK. We have made the final preperations for the site with electric and water. The location will be 19346 Hwy 271. The tent will be on a corner lot next to JJ's Service Station on the East side of Spiro going towards Fort Smith, AR.

We had an awesome service tonight at the Country Church where Prophetess Brenda Jeffery is in a weekend meeting. A powerful move of God from the beginning to the end lives forever changed by the prophetic word of God.

I have been on cloud nine since last Sundays service. I wasn't able to post yesterday because I was in Fort Smith, AR at Christ for the World working on their video equipment and on the way back I stopped at a tent revival that i had seen on the way in. Needless to say I was wore out by the time that I got home.

Next Monday thru Wednesday I will be fasting for the tent revival and also for some of the needs that our covenant partners have sent in. I usually dont share these things but since this is a daily event of what is going on I felt it was ok to share when I fast, pray, and other spiritual things that take place.

I am also really behind on my Bible reading probably about 8 chapters. With the campmeeting and everything the two nights of revival at Jerry Lee's and now this weekend meeting at the Country Church I have really got behind. I will have to catch up. I am determined to get the Bible read all the way through in the next 6 months.

I am also getting excited about my Africa trip to Uganda. I am believing every penny that is needed is going to manifest forth. I was talking with a prophet friend and he was telling to start pulling my future into my NOW! It was powerful what he was saying. I am praying that the Holy Spirit will teach me how to do this. I was studying and God showed me how that he brought Pentecost which was thousands or years away into his now. If your interested in finding out how let me know.

Its 2:00 am and I am not in bed yet. We were in Fort Smith today and I have to go back in the morning. Thats $40.00 US every time I make that trip. I have to go by Spiro, OK and check out the land where we are putting the tent.

Tonight in services at Texas Road Worship Center the tornado sirens went off. We bound the storm and continued on with church. I am planning to go back tomorrow night. The Friday Prophetess Brenda Jeffery will be at the Country Church Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I will be doing the praise and worship.

I want to quickly share a word from the Lord that He has been dealing with me.

PROPHETIC WORD:

The Lord started releasing a word to me about how He is going to bring different ministries into new levels by using individuals who can plant seed and bring increase into ministries . There are ministries who need to be able to do more but there is lack in finances. A definition that I use regularly is the word Frustration. Frustration is vision without provision. In other words Rhonda and I save all year long to go to Uganda. The cost is usually around $7000 US. This year however it will be about $12,000.00 US.

What would happen if someone came to me and said, "TJ, I want to pay your missionary trip to Uganda because I believe in what you are doing." That gift would take us into a new level. We could use that money for radio and TV. Shortwave radio could take the message of Christ around the world. I have two TV stations that we can put our message on for just $100.00 a week. One person could take this ministry into a new level. One person could take your ministry into a new level. Are you ready for your new level?

Man today was such a great day. I GOT TO REST! After such a powerful weekend I took a day off. It was much needed. I am so thankful I have a wife that understands and let me rest. SOOOOOOO tomorrow I have to get back with it.

I also started a diet today. Yeah I know they never work out but I am going to try. I will stay about 1500 calories a day and work out daily. I did that back in 2002 and lost 50 plus pounds. As busy as I stay I need to get some of this weight off. I know I will feel better.

We found a place for the tent in Spiro, OK and Prophetess Brenda is going to check on utilities tomorrow. I am leaving Thursday to spend the day in Fort Smith helping Christ for the World with their new video equipment or their editing suite.

I will then go to Texas Road Worship Center they are in revival there and I love the Pastor Jerry Lee Anderson. He is one of the best keyboard players I have ever heard. I love playing with him.

The picture above was take at the church I was pastoring a few years ago. We had a great time. Here is also a link to hear Jerry Lee sing: www.jerryleeanderson.com/roses.html

He has other links you can listen to also. He is one of my dearest friends and I appreciate him and his wife Jodi very much. In matter of fact I will be in revival at Texas Road Worship Center the first of November of 2008.

Tomorrow I have to clean the truck and finish what I started on the camper. I will be pulling out Tuesday morning to go set up the tent in Spiro, OK. Tomorrow I will try to share a prophetic word that the Lord has been dealing with me about.

Until then

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah I know its been four days and I have not got a new blog up. My schedule for the last four days has been Up at 7:30 am and asleep usually by 2:30 or 3:00am. Because I wanted to stay with Rhonda and the triplets I drove back and forth everyday to camp meeting. That in its self was an 1:45 minute drive.

I won't write a lot but there is so much to write about. Thursday, Friday and Saturday were some of the most awesome services. At every altar call I played the keyboards and sung. It was so great to play with such talented musicians. I believe everyone of them could be studio musicians Bobby Hogan is so blessed to have so many wonderful musicians. I would sing at least and hour and half every night while the speaker would minister and it did not fail that people would stay and dance, cry, pray, and get caught up in the Spirit for and hour or better after the minister would pray for those who came to the altar.

SUNDAY was truly one of the best services that I have ever been in. The service started at 3:00pm and lasted until 11:00 pm. Yes thats right the longest service I have ever been in America. Apostle Bobby Hogan, Prophetess Teresa Hogan, Prophetess Brenda Jeffery, and Myself prophesied to over 250 people. It was glorious!

It was one of weekend that I will remeber as long as I live. I kind of have a peak at what the last day revival is going to look like. When the former and the latter rain is going to be poured out by the Holy Ghost.

I will be preaching the second night of the July 4th Campmeeting. Here the information:

Apostle Bobby Hogan

Christ for the World - Summer Campmeeting

Wednesday, July 1st - Sunday, July 6th Christ For The World International Headquarters4510 Towson Ave / Fort Smith, Arkansas(Begins Tuesday night at 7:00 pm) 11:00 am daily and 7:00 pm nightly(479) 649-5970

You will want to make plans to come to these Holy Ghost filled services. I promise they will be some of the most awesome services you have ever been in. I will be driving from Pueblo, CO to be there the whole campmeeting. I would do it even if I was not ministering.

To all of you who read this blog I appreciate you and love you. Please tell others. God Bless until tomorrow.

This is a little late but better late than never. I realize that there might be days that I cannot write a blog. Yesterday was one of those days. I was up till 6:00 am preparing stuff for my product table to take with me to camp meeting. A lot of people don't understand. If I dont preach we (Rhonda, Colton, Faith, and Rebekah) dont eat. Ok that might be a little overboard but its still the truth. LOL

When I dont do revivals I cant pay bills, pastors salaries that we have on staff in other countries, and clothes for the triplets. Needless to say the product table helps greatly. Sometimes it is our bread and butter.

Today I am leaving for camp meeting and I am looking forward to a great and powerful time. See old friends and meet new ones. Rhonda is staying home this round. I was going to take the RV and stay but I have a friend who is going so I am going to ride back and forth with him, it is only about an hour and half from the house.

I am also excited about getting the Smith Wigglesworth CD's. That will be a highlight of the week. I have preached so much about Smith Wigglesworth I feel like I almost know him. Now I will get to hear him preach.

I still have a lot to do before I leave at 2:00 pm. Iron clothes, shave, etc.

It's a wrap! I finished the last song of our new CD project, "Preach the Word." The last song I did is a song I have wanted to do for many years, "I Bowed on My Knees." I was saving the toughest for last. Tomorrow I will be printing and making copies of the CD getting them ready for Camp Meeting at Christ For the World in Fort Smith, AR.

I have really been fighting a battle today. I believe God has more doors out there than I could ever open but it is so hard to wait sometimes. I hang on to the verse in 2 Cor. 4:17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; I know most of the church goes through long and difficult afflictions, but I would rather be like Paul. I know that the affliction I am in is light and just for a moment. God is going to start opening doors that no man can close.

I also got some great news today or great photos today. My oldest son Bryan is in Iraq and Ashley (my daughter in-law) sent me some pictures of him today. Every time I get a pic of him I put in on my desktop and every time I look at him I pray for his safety and thank God I have a son that is willing to fight and even die for my freedom and freedom of others. Thank you Bryan!

It has been a long day and tomorrow there is still much more to do. I have to press all my suites for camp meeting and get my table product ready.

I want to thank everyone for their prayers and I hope you are enjoying the music that is playing on our web page and my space. The page links are at the top of the page.

I also encourage you to leave posts and thoughts of what God is sharing with you.

Praise the Lord I am almost finished with our newest CD project. I have to mix Rhonda's song and add one more. If you would like to hear a few of the songs you can check out my myspace and hear four of the new songs. It is a relief to get this project over with. I have been working on it almost a week. That is the longest it has ever taken me to finish a project but with triplets running around everywhere it can be a bit hectic.

I have been praying all day for a couple of things that we desperatly need. One thing is a better RV. We travel in a 32' RV that is a 1992 model. It has served its purpose. The trailor is getting a little small with no slide outs. I was talking to a man the other day and he was telling me they make 45' travel trailor with a couple of slide outs. What a wonderful blessing that would be to be able to take my family on the road and have some extra roo. If you are an intercessor reading this please pray for this to happen for us.

The second thing I have been petitioning the Lord for is a bigger tent. I have a been using a 40' X 40' it can seat 120 people. I know that is a lot for this day but I have seen if filled several times. I am believing for a 48' X 70' Oval tent. It can seat almost 350 people. In todays society looks can be essential to people coming to a tent revival.

Me Preaching in my 40' X 40' tent

As I was thinking about these two major things that the ministry needs I heard the word of the Lord say, "all it takes is one person listening to me." That is a sermon in its self but what the Lord was saying to me is, "Just one person listening to God could provide every need this ministry has." I believe that just one divine contact can turn a persons ministry around.

It took TD Jakes to take a hair dresser by the name of Jaunita Bynum and helps push her into one of the nations foremost women ministers.

I know that God has my TD Jakes if you will that is going to help me take the name of Jesus to all the nations of the earth.

The same with any minister, just one person can make a difference in your ministry. Start prophecying that divine connection. Mine is on their way and yours can too. Who knows how the Holy Spirit can bring this in the path of someone who has been praying diligently "Lord how can my wealth make a difference." DIVINE CONNECTIONS - That is what the Kingdom of God is about.

Praise God for His many blessings that He shared with His children. There are times that you know that God is opening heaven over you. You dont necessarily feel it but you just know it. Toay has been a good day. I even got a nap.

I went to bed about 3:30 am and got up at 8:30 am. I preached this morning on Dare to Dream. God loves dreamers. I will never forget the first time I started dreaming about going to Africa. I was in a service and a mighty woman of God, Gwen Shaw laid her hands on me and commissioned me to take the Word of God to the nations. I didnt understand all of it but I knew that a dream had been planted. That is all I could think about. The next day at a funeral in Fort Gibson, OK, Mike Reed came up to me and asked me if I would come to Uganda Africa where he was about to be a resident missionary with the IPHC.

Before I went I met a young man that full of vision and full of the Holy Ghost. His name was Herber Kuuku. He was over 50 churches in Uganda. When I arrived at the airport in Uganda, he was there to meet me. We have since been friends and this November when I return for my third time I will be doing a pastors conference for the churches that he is over.

I am almost finished with my CD project I have to cut one more song and Rhonda has to cut her song and we are finished. It is probably my best project that I have ever done. We are also getting ready for this summers tent revivals. I call it the preperation of the Gospel. It takes a lot we are building a new platform with a very nice background.

I will have a lot to do to the RV. I have to clean it and get it ready for camp meeting this week at Christ for the World in Fort Smith, AR

If you are interested in hearing a few songs of our CD project you can hear them on myspace. The web page is www.myspace.com/apostletj

I also want to say that we are having great response from our blogs. We appreciate everyone and what they are doing to help us build the Kingdom of God.

Ok I am getting really restless. I have been home for almost two weeks and I am going crazy. One good thing about being at home I always have a place to preach on Sundays and special events. When I turned the church that I was pastoring over to Jerry and Linda Watts their was an understanding that when I did come home I would get the opportunity to minister as much as I liked.

I really appreciate people who keep their word. Every time I am at home he always asks if I want to minister on Sunday am services. I don't always say yes but I appreciate him asking.

Back to the going crazy. I love revival, I love the excitement, the anticipation of that nights meeting. When I am in a tent revival I will spend a lot of the day just underneath the tent. I have seen so many miracles take place and I believe because of the prayer and saturation of the anointing. If there is one thing I know its the power of the anointing. I try not to preach when I am writing these blogs but when I know something I like to share it.

The anointing is tangible and transferable. I have salt services, anointing oil services, and prayer clothe services because I believe one needs to transfer the anointing. I get calls all the time about the power of prayer clothes.

One I will share. About three monts ago I got an email from a pastor in Kagoma, Uganda, Africa. I was there last August in a service and I handed out prayer clothes that I had been wearing on my body while I was preaching. A few months later a woman, who had taken a prayer clothes, baby got violently sick. She took the child to the hospital who said there was not hope that the child was going to die. She took the child home and remembered the prayer clothe that I gave her. She boiled the clothe in water and put the water in the babies bottle. The moment that the bottle touched the child's lips the baby became instantly whole. PRAISE GOD for the anointing.

I took Rhonda out to eat at her favorite Mexican Resteraunt. She loves good Mexican Food. I also talked to a couple of preachers today. I try to network with as many men and women of God I can. I believe that is one of the greatest weaknesses in the area of what I am doing. There is so little networking! I think it is because most have the lone ranger mentality. I have asked people to go into a tent revival or a conference together but with no avail.

I don't understand but I guess many have their reasons. I pray I stay open to being used and not closed to ministering with others.

Monday I will start working on the RV and getting it ready for Camp Meeting at Christ for the World and then the revival at Texas Road Worship Center in Fort Smith, AR
