rushing mighty wind conference pt. 1

what a night! two outstanding pastors and ibc was back with a new song! rev. mullings reminded us of God's first name - 'wonderful'. referring to isaiah 9.6 'For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.' there is ONE God and His name is Wonderful! we should never forget the majesty of God. every time we enter into His presence, we need to be in awe of who He is. we are in communion with the Creator of the entire universe. hello! He is so Holy. when we fully grasp who God is, we are humbled by His greatness. 'Then you will understand the fear of the LORD, And find the knowledge of God.' (proverbs 2.5) the greatest thing to gain as a Christian is wisdom and understanding. the worst sin to come in between us and God is pride. we should never forget how Wonderful He truly is. as nicole c. mullen sings, 'let us not forget to tremble.' the fear of the Lord brings about a righteous life. as Paul tells the church of corinth in chapter 1.7, 'Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.'

rev. kinzey was on fire! the Holy Spirit had a great annoiting on that man tonight. he piggybacked with rev. mullings in the aspect of true praise to God. we are not to let the devil discourage us or cause us to feel too tired or too lazy to worship the Lord. the Holy Spirit gives us the power to overcome our circumstances in times of weakness. ibc sang a song that's chorus said 'there is victory when we praise Him!' how true is this statement. i don't know how many times i've gone to church not feeling well and i've just fought through it and praised the Lord anyway, and by the time i left service i felt completely fine. the Christian life is about laboring and serving. it's not a bunch of 'thou shall nots..' the two greatest commandments are 'thou shall' commandments - love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind. love your neighbor as yourself. who cares what anyone else thinks when you are worshipping - it's an audience of One you are singing for. it's not about the music, or the song type, or the choir, or the pastor, or anything else wordly. it's all about JESUS CHRIST. He is God and He is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. He is ALIVE and living and working. brother kinzie spoke of a revival in indianapolis. something pastor mooney had been led to speak about over the months as well. i see the hunger that he is talking about in the people. my friends' hearts are softening and they are asking questions. people are seeking. the apostolic faith keeps growing. Sister Sarah might even become Vice President! :) but i am humbled when i realize that God has chosen me to help bring others to Him. that He would, as rev. kinsey put it, 'allow me to be a part of something much bigger than myself.' he referred to john 6.35, 'And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.' we need to feast on Jesus. in order to do so, we must have an appetite for Him. are you hungry?

holy, holy, holy
is the Lord God almighty
who was and is and is to come
with all creation i sing,
'praise to the King of Kings!'
You are my everything
and i will adore You
