catching up

man. what a life I am having. I started to say what a week... but
what a life. Busy and good... and tiring.

Brief recap of N-ville-
drove 14 hours or so there stopping for potty breaks... Toby cried a
LOT.
Day 1 stopped by the Fortress and sat in the van while Richy went and
talked to our contact people. As we sat there, the sound of the
worship and prayer was coming through the open door and we couldn't
take it so we went in for a minute and soaked it up. Then we drove to
the host home and met and slept.
Morning. Bagels and such. Off to prayer. Lou spoke about taking siege
of a city... SERIOUSLY amazing prophetic message- some keys: a. Don't
lay siege to a city unless you have a specific place in mind (he made
the comment military commanders never say Just go siege something
=) ) b. Don't lay siege unless you are commited to victory. c. Take
territory and make a stand. .... Eddie James led worship and it was
beautiful.... there is a video clip on http://www.clarkfamilypix.blogspot.com
Other sessions- a worship team from IHOP Kansas City, and Corey
Russel from there... and Eddie James again with Will Ford. If you
have never heard Will Ford, you should read History Makers by him and
Dutch Sheets. He is great... we are going to have him come and preach
at RadRev sometime.
And we led worship one morning and one evening, I think. I sang both
times. Everybody stood in front of Hustler Hollywood with Pure Life
blindolds on... representing purity in our eyes. (Pure Life is
targeting getting p0rn out of the church first, pureliferevolution.net)
Our sessions were a blast- the Sunday night one we led worship and
there was some resistance (prophetic kids sometimes have a problem
with "tight" music- they think it's a show- we usually win them over
by ignoring them and worshipping)
Richy preached and the Holy Spirit was hitting him so hard he could
hardly talk or stand up. He prophesied over some people and the faith
level went UP and then he preached and we all prayed for everyone.
Every day began at about 7 for us and ended at 2 or so, then another
14 hours home. Sleep? I laugh at thee.

And then last night was an awesome Holy Spirit meeting but I am tired
of typing and so you will just have to come to next Tuesday and watch
the awesome VIDEO recap.

ahh my people. I missed you.

it felt great to sing- especially the atmosphere-setting preservice stuff with Hannah.... I have missed that

Tight music is music that is tight. Just kidding. You know, all the instruments play the right thing at the right time and it sounds like you practice all the time but really it's a combination of relationship and anointing- even spontaneous songs sound like "real" songs


And Servant- Goose Morning to you, too.

jess said...

see, these kids (and I am included) are so hungry for genuine worship that is not about the BAND, or the music. So if it sounds sloppy and raw and heartfelt, it's forgivable. But if it sounds coordinated and rehearsed (even if it's not) then they tend to be skeptical of our genuine-ness... for a song or two

jess said...

can I just say in all humility that I despise tambourines with an unholy passion, all in the spirit of gentleness, of course

jess said...

At one point in my Radiant career I did play a tambourine. But not well.

jess said...

And one tambourine with good timing can be a good thing.
Multiple tambourines with questionable timing on You are Holy is never a good thing.

jess said...

intwesting...
where is my friend Josharoo? He is a SKILLED tambourinist

jess said...

It's not taboo at all.
I haven't gotten to read it yet- the library doesn't usually get them until a couple months post-pub
But it looks awesome.
Have you read it?

Godless: the church of Liberalism- wowzer

Beth said...

wow!
this is great.
girls talk about cool stuff. 8)

in regards to tambourines:
i think our distaste for tambourines might have something to do with the severe overuse and extremely poor (in a musical sense) use we all endured in the 80's.(at least i did)

in regards to sounds and worship:
i find i stomp a lot. seems like it has something to do with marching for war. but i'm not always sure.

comments?

jess said...

Oh shnikes. I forgot about guys day. Oh well.

Beth said...

it doesn't look like the guys had much to say.... 8)

BethC said...

I started playin drums (all percussion) 2 times in the last few days during prayer at TFH....i have never played before...
I want to really learnem

yet even lifeless things, either flute or harp, in producing a SOUND...produce distinctive tones...who will prepare for battle

Beth said...

yeah,
i think i could get into things like bongos or moroccas (sp?).
i've had a couple very brief opportunities for such,and it was fun.

BethC said...

most tamborines hurt my head/ears...

cool, marching battle sounds
let's say this is the guys day topic

Beth said...

maybe one or two times i remember hearing someone play a tambourine, and it sounded good.
but i've never been able to produce such pleasant sound.
maybe the biblical tambourines were different than the tinny things we have now

Beth said...

ok cuties
oao

Mama PC said...

i missed all of your talk...

when i've been in corporate intercession/prayer and during spontaeous times, I'm feeling this loud song coming up from deep inside me - not words as much as it is a SOUND... a strong, musical, melody that is being released from deep in my spirit...as a call... as a voice... as a cry... as a knife... i can't describe it more than that... but, that by my being obedient to opening my mouth, opening my throat, submitting my vocal cords and my lungs and diaphragm to God that the SONG will go forth from me and do the work He wants it to do.

It's a thing of the spirit... that my mind cannot comprehend. But my spirit knows something and is acting. So, I open up and let'ter rip...

Georgia said...

tambourines,yeah, If I had any rhythm at all I would despise them, But Since I dont know they are off they are fine with me, but when I play them I know there is something terribly wrong with me.

Georgia said...

Yes, we are still praying for a drummer at TFH. We have some in the congregation that may end up being "the guy" but until then it is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things unseen.

Georgia said...

I love Mac Powell
Is this sacreligious?

I mean its just the music, He is so great!

Ok, someone has to say here that Mac is overdone and sold out to the commercial beast, wonder who it will be?

Georgia said...

My guesses for the underhanded Mac P comment

Matt
Daniel
Josh
Jess
Richy

Ok, that is enough.

Who will it be?

Georgia said...

Hey, Jennifer
Can you have chocolate instead?

Georgia said...

I had that problem when I gave up cokes and diet cokes. Bad Headache. The good thing is it will be gone tomorrow.

Georgia said...

Ahhh, yes the simililarities between stray cats and caffeine addiction.

Wouldnt that make a good book.

How I kicked caffeine and cats.

Mama PC said...

sorry i missed you katie i took a 4 hour nap (hope i sleep tonight)

jennifer, have someone massage your great toes really good. sometimes that will help relieve a bad h/a...

i'm sure your boss would want to see you having THAT done, right there in your office...

go ahead, remove shoes and socks... floss betwixt the toes with the socks... spray with some smell-good.. and have your neighbor worker rub those big toes...

might help...

Mama PC said...

Josh has company... so, they're out gallavanting...

Mere and Jere and Josh and Shan... with Keithereety!!!

Nate said...

Beth said...

Mama PC said...

Beth said...

very silly mamapc

you're up very late tonight...did that nap do in your sleep schedule?

Mama PC said...

i'm ready for sleep again...

thankfully, i start a few weeks of 8:30 arrival timmes!!!! yippee!!!

8:30 or 9:30!!! i'm glad.. i'll be relieving the nurses on vacation in the pre-testing area of our dept, so mostly will be administrative, plus histories, plus drawing labs and doing ecg tests. then i have to check that the correct account # is on the computer and the correct surgery has been scheduled on the surgery schedule for the particular patient..and tell them their instructions and their arrival time, etc. Will be off my feet more... with occasional breaks of the patient flow. So, should be a little stressful at first, as i learn the routine, but then ease up over the next few weeks...

ready for bed... so, good night, all...

Beth said...

Nate said...

peace out...off to the yob...mmm...Mac Mini...

I love my little bro's compy. It's so small, and fast, and virus free.


OOOH!! JESS! There's three new Mac vs. PC commercials. Check them out. THese are a little more raw towards the PC world. Not so playfully vindicitive about Mr. Gates getting the upper hand in the market. But...hehe...they are vindicitive!
