On the road in MN.

This last week I was at the Holy Spirit Conference. I had a marvelous time getting reaquainted with friends in the Minneapolis area. God did some marvelous things at the conference. I saw God heal someone of tendonitis, someone else of back problems, and someone with an ankle issue right in front of my eyes in answer to prayer. God also released internal healing and prophesy. I also had a few observations:

1. Compared to what is coming, (and what I touched in 2007) the anointing level was "low". The reason God indicated (concerning LR and ARC) was because he was emphasizing strengthening of relationships at the conference. I don't know if ARC is ready as a network to deal with the intense pressures,(and pastoral issues) should God raise up "sovereign vessels" with widespread signs and wonders in the network like a Bill Johnson, John Arnott, or Randy Clark.

2. Two big holes absent in many who we ministered to (who were really hurting) were that a.) they had no like-minded friends to stand with them when attacked and criticized for renewal(which caused a "me against the world" dynamic to emerge) and b.) a lack of Sermon on the Mount Lifestyle- and taking their spirituality on whether or not they "feel" the Holy Spirit on them.

God is doing a work related to ARC and Lutheran Renewal...It will be exciting to see what it looks like! Pray for these two ministries as they have a redemptive gift in the area of bringing forth a new reformation related to priestly ministry.
