The storm

Yesterday morning I started to think about what the spiritual significance of Hurricane Sandy is.  Remember, every event in the physical realm is a manifestation of what is happening in the spiritual realm. So I asked God what this meant.  To my surprise, I got an instant answer as the Holy Spirit spoke to me.  In my mind I saw the weather map of the storm superimposed on the US map, with the storm stretching out to the Mississippi River. God said, "This storm is just a portent, a small shadowing of what will happen to America if there is not repentance. Everything will be shaken, and many things will be destroyed." I was also suddenly aware that the storm will hit the Bos-Wash corridor, the beginning of the nation and still its power center.  I became aware that this is hitting right before Election Day as a warning.

Regardless of what happens in the election, we need revival, or very dark times are ahead.

Vision

Recently I had a vision of the future of monmouth Worship Center.  I saw something/someone being raised up from this church that will have a major impact upon the nation.  It will start here.  This will happen after I am no longer leading the church.

Curious what/who it will be.

Unexpected questions of Jesus

As I have looked at the questions of Jesus, I am shocked by how frustrated he got with the disciples often.  Consider the following questions of Jesus-

"How much longer do I have to put up with you?"
"Could you not even pray with me for an hour?"
"Does this offend you?"
"Are you still sleeping?"
"Are you willing to suffer for me?"
"Why do you worry so much?"
"Why is it that you have so little faith?"

Though as a pastor I have felt like these sometimes, I won't be preaching on any of these!
