Parking Lot Prayer Session

God places people in our lives at the right times. Its so interesting to see how he works it.

This evening, as I was leaving work, it was two guys: Conrad (pastor from Trinidad and Tobago) and Steve (Pastor who just left his ministry). We started talking about the church, hurts of ministry, recovering from wounds, the meaning of evangelism and a bunch more. It was awesome! The church seems less and less interested in discipleship and more and more interested in franchising and building a pastor's kingdom. Why do churches plant video venues and such? Why don't they disciple other men to lead the congregations? Why do we feel we need to spread the amazingness of our church and not the amazing quality of our God??? Does one church pastor hold all the power of God? Does God only chose a few for the pastorate? Why are we not discipling more and more pastors?

We had an amazing talk about healing in our lives from various wounds caused by Christians. Conrad is amazing. I swear he is a God send. He has so much wisdom, so much love and so much encouragement you just want to always be by his side. God is in that man. He is amazing. At the end, the three of us prayed for each other and it was there that the past finally became the past. Conrad prayed that I would move on and start living as I am beginning the process that will lead to my next ministry after seminary. For some reason, it just hit me. I am in the beginning! This is my new day.

I shared my growing burden for the northeast. I'm not sure where I will end up. It is literally between the Boston, NYC and Philly areas. I am ready to go into the mouth of Satan's lair and serve. He has such a hold on the northeast...its time to take it back. The colonists moved to New England and Philly in hopes of a new place to grow in their religious freedom. It's been hijacked by Satan. Time to tick him off by going with the power of God and taking his slaves and turning them into children of the King.
