Prophetic Word Comes to Pass For Pastor My associate, Pastor Mark picked Glenn Bleakney up at his hotel and I arrived later to meet the two of them for breakfast. I hadn’t told Glenn anything about our plan to resign from pastoring, but he shared with Mark and then with me that he saw us going to a place at the base of a large mountain, with dry, unplowed soil on top, but underneath it was very fertile ground. And Glenn Bleakney shared that God was taking us to a place where people were not very familiar with the revelations that God has given me to teach. They won’t reject it or scoff at it like I’ve experienced in the past, but it will just all be very new to them. But once they hear it and see it in God’s Word, they will be very receptive. And as a result it will cause growth on a level that we haven’t seen in our previous assignments. Glenn stated that God wouldn’t open this door in the traditional fashion, as I’ve experienced in the past- such as: applying for an open pastorate through denominational channels, but rather it would be through an unconventional way. He said he was not quite sure what that meant, but God would reveal it to us. Well, at the time he shared this, we had no idea what we were going to do. We had just made a decision that we were going to pray about leaving traditional pastoring and pursue a different type of ministry in New Mexico or Colorado. Early last year I was approached about pastoring a Cowboy Church in Colorado. At first I thought that might be the open door. But it wasn’t the way God led us. However, this helped get us on the track about doing a cowboy ministry (specifically targeting people in that lifestyle). But then I had numerous pastor friends strongly encourage me to pursue a traveling/teaching & consulting ministry. Well, I took that to heart and pursued that for a while, but it became clear several months ago that was NOT the right direction. But then one day in December, while praying in the Spirit about this, the LORD again clearly spoke to me about launching a Cowboy Church in Tijeras, NM (above Albuquerque). My wife and I talked & prayed together about it and made the decision that was the direction to go. The very next day we were contacted about a house & horse property that came available right outside of Tijeras. It’s interesting because it’s right at the base of the Sandia Crest (a mountain of 10,000+ feet). It’s kind of a high desert terrain, and, in the natural, the land is very dry on top, but very fertile underneath just like Glenn shared. There are a few churches up here, but they are either mainline denominations (Catholic, Methodist & Lutheran) and a couple of Baptists types, but NO full gospel or Spirit-filled churches! God has moved us where He wanted us! Pastor Vince
