I am free
These services we have had over the past couple of nights ....
They will no doubt change my life forever.
I don't recall ever being in services like these nor do I believe I have ever said a church service has changed my life.
It was by Gods design that we were to be there. The wall around Terry is slowly coming down...I can tell by what he is saying. His joy is slowly returning.
A question was asked last night of those in attendance. Was there anything you wanted to confess (in essence where the devil could not beat you up with it any longer)? Several people had confessions to make. It was very liberating to watch these people be set free.
Neither Terry nor I confessed any sin (though we have many). But I wanted to take a minute to confess something on my blog. Though I did not confess in service I wanted to confess now. I no longer want to be bound....
I have noticed this year especially how judgmental I have been toward others. Surely they don't love God as much as me because look at what they are doing and I'm not doing. The thing with sin is that if you look for it you will always find it. To put it plainly, you will always find a red flag if you are looking for one. I've been unconsciously comparing myself to others for years. We were in the UPC for many years. From the get go it was about what you were and what others wasn't.
I feel set free from lifting myself higher than others.
I now see their hearts.
I now see their desires.
I now see their love for Christ.
It doesn't mean that my discernment doesn't kick in but it is not about making judgment calls on others. Most of us are just trying to make heaven our home.

Andrea, I enjoy reading your blogs. This one especially.Feel free to mention the Lords work in my battle with Brain Cancer.9/12 started my 5th year since discovery(My family calls 9/12 TDD, stands for tumor discovery day.) The original tumor was 6 by 8 cm, or the size of a hen egg, deep in my brain behind my left eye.Thanks to God creating DR. Vaughn Allen, my neurosurgeon,he removed about 85% or so.It was malignant. I had a brain biopsy, my 2nd,in Feb of this year, tissue was sent off to UAB, university of Alabama @ Birmingham for some more genetic testing. I have stage 2,a very rare type,oliGODendroglioma, notice GOD is in my cancer.I am currently on an oral chemotherapy,Temador. I am a miracle thanks to Gods healing power,CLAIM IT, trying to make a difference in peoples lives.Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior and I will be healed either way, while I am still on earth and then when I die, forever.Its Gods will, thats biblical,the key is to try to help as many people as I can come to know Jesus.Our job isn't to save them but to tell them, God takes care of the saving.

It goes without saying Jeff how I love your Spirit. You've been a true inspiration to me over the last few years. It is so good to hear from you. Keep me posted. I am standing in agreement with you Jeff. You are healed in Jesus Name. Love Ya man.
