I just wanted share a personal testimony this morning. This past week was life changing for me and my family. I was honored to speak again at The Event in Kingsport, Tn. After two nights of giving everything I had in ministering, God used some amazing people to speak into my life. I know what it’s like to be in the Presence of God, but I also know when I am in one of those special moments. One of the last times I experienced one of those moments was eleven years ago in a Camp Meeting in Kingsport. It was a Thursday night and I could feel the power of God all over me. The next thing I heard was my Grandfather, Bishop Peters, was praying for me and speaking into my life about some things that were getting ready to happen in me and my wife’s ministry. It started the next morning and it has been a crazy ride from that day until now. Throughout everything that has happened in these last eleven years, I could still hear the voice of my Grandfather telling me that God had a plan through every disappointment I was getting ready to face. This past Friday night I was in my Grandfather’s Church, and even though he has gone on to be with the Lord, somehow everyone that prayed for me, I could hear his voice in theirs. Maybe that sounds crazy to you and maybe I just miss him a lot more when I visit The Lighthouse, but his words has kept me focused for the last eleven years. Not only did some great people pray for me and my family, but on Saturday, a great man of God issued a challenge for me in my ministry. Honestly…it has scared me. Friday night I preached on “Impossible Doesn’t Intimidate Me” and on Saturday I was challenged to face what seems impossible to me. I need to be careful what I preach. His challenge was followed by an anointed prayer over me and my family that I will never forget. So today I start a new chapter and a new journey in my ministry. I know I cannot do this without God, so I ask you to pray for me that I will make the right decisions and allow the Lord to order my steps. I know that I am not alone. There are others reading this that are also starting a new chapter and you are needing direction too. If we could get beyond the politics and egos and lift one another up in prayer, it would be amazing what we could do together. Stop fighting your critics, focus on what God has called you to do, build new relationships with people that love you for who you are, and make a difference in the Kingdom of God!!!
