Releasing Kings for Ministry in the Marketplace   Join us In Spokane Roy LeTourneau will be one of the featured speakers at our conference in Spokane right after Christmas.  Harold will also be ministering - These are two of my favorite people.  We plan to have a "party" releasing Kings.  Your invited and here's "another reason" why I believe this conference will be spiritual milestone!   Kings - "Make" Dreams Come True About 10 years ago the author of a book on dreams spoke at our church.  It heightened a healthy awareness of this avenue for the Holy Spirit to speak to us.  As I began to record my dreams and pursue the interpretation, I also became more aware that some of my dreams seemed to have no redeemable features and were embarrassingly carnal or destructive – like they were inspired more by the enemy than God.  It bothered me for a while until someone shared a handy little recipe (maybe it was the original speaker, I’ve honestly forgotten).  For the dreams that did seem to originate with the enemy I would be half awake trying to discern the origin.  Before I left that “alpha” state I would simply rewrite the outcome so God got the glory and the ending of the dream was a happy one.  For some of them I had to rewind the tape and rewrite the ending.  If there was a death, I would add a resurrection.  If there was an accident, I added a scene where the Lord intervened at the last minute to prevent a disaster.  In every case I made the Lord a hero and myself a King. Seems like cheating doesn’t it?  You know I haven’t had many dreams that needed to be rewritten since I learned to fix the outcome.  Now the Lord is teaching me another level.  I have a dream (or vision) for my life.  I want to be a King, help others to be Kings, live on 10%, and start a reformation that will touch the great commission through Marketplace Ministry.  Just like in sleep dreams the story line isn’t always a good one and I don’t always feel like I’m headed for a happy ending.  As I look at my life and my occasional failures or delays my logical mind and my natural fears start predicting a less-than-victorious future.  The Lord is giving me the permission and power to change the ending.  Even though I can’t experience the future yet, I’m simply praying, proclaiming, prophesying, and doing whatever resurrections and angelic interventions are required.  I do this primarily in my devotions instead of a street corner, but the point is, I’m manipulating the script to line up with the will of God and the blessing of God I see on my life.  It not only changes my expectations, but it changes the future too.  I’m not just a deluded optimist, I’m a King with a dream and enough of a warrior to reel it in – so are you.  Get your sword, we have some gates to crash. Here’s the best Christmas gift you can have – your heart’s desire.  Kings have the privilege of asking for and receiving everything they need to make those desires a reality.  It’s true, “there is no Santa Claus.”  But, the the dream doesn't end there.  There is a God in heaven that has declared us to be His friends and delights in granting requests to Kings.  He's invited us into His plan... the beauty, the adventure, the intimacy, the power, the grace, the meaning... Of all the things I’ve stumbled across in this amazing journey toward releasing Kings, there is one revelation that is most liberating.  God’s scheme was to create me in his image with His heart so that he can now freely grant “my” heart’s desire.  My will is His will (thanks to Him) and we're on the same team.  It's wonderful!  The best Christmas ever. 23 At that time you won't need to ask me for anything, for you can go directly to the Father and ask him, and he will give you what you ask for because you use my name. 24 You haven't tried this before, [but begin now]. Ask, using my name, and you will receive, and your cup of joy will overflow.   John 16:23-24  TLB   Blessings, John & Harold -------------------------------------------------------------------- Make plans to attend our first conference!
