Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ!  While doing revival meetings at the Ramada Plaza Suites in Fargo, the presence of the Lord continually came and amazed us with His goodness.  People have testified how they have been blessed and their lives have changed since coming to these meetings. 

A few months ago the Lord began dealing with Kim and I in a stronger way about the call of God on our lives.  Looking back as if it was yesterday, I was reminded about where I was five years ago.  I think about the soon return of the Lord and that I might only have about ten years or less left to accomplish what Father has called me to do. It has been a very busy and time sure flies. I realize that if I don’t make some changes, this next ten years will disappear as fast as the last five.  We might only have a few years left.  Time is short.

The Lord had been dealing with me about starting a church and out of it came, “Springs of Living Water Church.”  We started on October 31st, 1999 at the Ramada Plaza Suites in Fargo.  Meetings average about three to four hours and we have seen a continual outpouring of Fathers goodness.  It is so tremendous to see people hook up with the vision He has set before us and see them begin to flow in the Gifts of the Spirit and be used by God.  I have a desire to fan their flames and see them established in ministry.  Everyone of us are called in these times to lay down our lives for the Gospels sake and run the race that is set before us. As we do, we find our lives more blessed than we knew possible. 

It is as if the Lord is taking us on His agenda and we are going for a ride.  I have been amazed to see His gifts in others and in my life and how He has changed us to carry out his plan as we have stepped into what He has called us to do.  Its like church has never been so exciting.  It is so awesome to live in this time and just be a part of what He is doing.  It is so wonderful because I recognize that I am not here of my own accord and that we are in the flow of what Father is doing in the earth today.  There is a new excitement in my heart for the liberty that is set before us and this truly is the time to humble ourselves and live for him and carry out his will in this hour. 

We have begun a street witnessing night and about 17 people have prayed the sinner’s prayer with us recently.  One person by the name of Eric has begun coming to our three weekly services.  It has been good to watch him grow.  A prophecy had come a few months ago about me stepping into His will and that He would draw the people and surely the Lord has been doing so.

We are on cable access TV in the Fargo, Minneapolis, and Duluth areas with, “Springs of Living Water Church.”  The program lasts for 1 hour and we are on our 156th episode.  We recently sold our existing cameras and are in the process of buying new ones.  We just got 2 Sony DSR-300 DV-CAM that are TV broadcast quality.  We are believing for more equipment and it will not be long before we are up in full strength again with better equipment.  If you would like to have us on TV in your city please let me know.  It does not cost anything but for us to send the tapes to the station.  We need to get His Word out.  You can also visit us on the web at www.springsoflivingwater.org for the message of the month, testimonies, available tapes, a listing of upcoming meetings, and TV schedule as it is under construction.

We invite you to come and be apart of what Father is about to do through, “Springs of Living Water  Church.” It is His church and we give him all the Glory for what He is doing with us.   

 

DON’T MISS THE VISITATION OF GOD IN THIS HOUR AS WE START THE NEW MILLENNIUM!  

Glory to God!  Are you Ready to go and do exploits for the King of Kings and Lord of Lords?  It is such an exciting hour in the Body of Christ to live, walk, and have our being. I believe Father has a great concern about the state of the body of Christ.  I believe He is ready to escort the Bride down the isle and its time for the bride to prepare herself!  GET READY!  GET READY!  Do not let your head be caught up with the cares of this life and be as an ostrich with its head stuck in the sand and miss this awesome move of God that is happening now.  People are waiting on God because they seek a sign. We understand what Jesus said about the generation that seeketh after a sign.  “That it is wicked and adulterous generation!”  What are the motives of our hearts?  Whose kingdom are we building?  Is it his or ours?  Are we totally yielded to him with a continual sense of His presence, letting His goodness make us a blessing to the multitudes?  Are we in our places in His Body, building each other up in love, edifying one another in the fear of the Lord?  Knowing life and death hang in the balance and that some people we minister to will not make it.  How serious is the hour in which we live in?

Twelve leaders went into the promise land to bring back the NOW word of the Lord.  Ten came back with their own interpretation; being moved by their own senses to what they thought God had said and had made available for them.  As a result of being more sensitive to the realm of the natural, even though they had been delivered from Egypt with miraculous signs and wonders like you and me have, over a million people died in the wilderness because of the report of leadership in that hour.  Therefore they did not enter into the provisions of the Lord because of their unbelief. 

Is not this where the Body of Christ is today?  Some say that the Lord is going to use the youth mightily in this hour and I believe this is true, but is it because you and I have not fully entered into what God has provided for us to walk in. You and I, not being willing to lay down our lives for the Gospels sake and therefore are perishing in the wilderness.  Most of today’s leadership have not had the Now word of the Lord, being more caught up in this worlds system, being more sensitive to the natural, being more moved by what man thinks rather than the fear of the Lord God Almighty and therefore have not really been examples of what is available to the Body of Christ.

Unless you and I press in like never before, most of our generation will miss this move of God because of our unbelief. Therefore the torch will be passed to a generation that has not been taught how not to believe the Word of God.  Joshua and Caleb judged God faithful and came back with a good report and believed that God was able to perform all that He told them. They entered into the promise land some 40 years later after those with unbelief perished in the wilderness. 

I feel revival is here and God is waiting on us to give Him something to work with.  The word says, “Present yourselves a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto Him which is your reasonable service and that you and I will be filled with the fullness of God according to the power that worketh in us.” 

What influence is affecting us the most?  Are the cares of this life choking the moving of the Holy Ghost out of our lives personally and therefore in our worship services?  Can we trust God with our lives or not?  When will we fully enter into His rest? 

When you and I have His presence sustained in our lives because we have let the Holy Ghost build a foundation in us by our yielding to His will. Then we will see the Glory of the Lord take up residence in our meetings and then the move of God will be sustained and our Cities will be changed. When we have his presence in our hearts we can convey it to others.  When we have his presence sustained in those around us, we will continue to see Him show up strong in our meetings and multitudes will be changed by His power.

I believe that to the degree you yield to Him, He will move in your life; to the same degree that leadership is yielded to Him God will be able to touch His people.  If you humble yourself, He will exalt you.  If you give Him all of you, He will give you all of Him. 

“For as you humble yourself before me, I will lift you up and many will be won into my kingdom.  Many have gone to do my will but have settled for programs rather than my presence.  I desire that my people would fully yield their lives unto me so that I can move mightily on their behalf.  I want to use you to astound those that believe not and astonish them with my goodness.  The time for my outpouring has already begun and I am preparing the Bride for the greatest outpouring of my Glory this world has ever seen.  Will you walk with Me and be my ambassador and fully represent the fullness of what I have for my people or will you set back and let doubt and unbelief rob you of walking in my Glory?  It is time for my people to humble them selves and walk with me in full demonstration of my ability to move through my people. So do not say within your heart, “ I am waiting for my God to move in our mist, but say My Father is waiting for me to humble myself so that He can use me.  Therefore enter in to all that I have set before you and then you will go and do exploits for me,” saith the Spirit of Grace.          

Acts 20:32 says,  “Now I commend you unto God and the Word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give unto you the inheritance that is set aside for those that are sanctified.” The Word in itself has power to take you from where you are at and set you in His perfect will for this hour.  Jesus said, “I am the bread of life.”  Eat the Word and let Christ be formed in you.  Take the time to seek his face and you will be strengthened to do His will.  Then you will walk in His ways and the blessings of God shall over take you!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               In His Presence,
