Disciples Who Hear God's Voice

  Deliverance and Inner Healing Training Video On Sunday, we finished our series on Deliverance and Inner Healing that we called "Practical Freedom Ministry." The final sermon covered inner healing, and I can tell by the response that many people felt that it was a needed sermon. Unfortunately, I had to cut quite a bit from the sermon, so I wanted to use this email to fill in a few gaps. First of all, I created a video last year to send to our ministry partners in Kenya, training pastors how to do a Practical Freedom Ministry session the way I do it. You can find that video here: Practical Freedom Ministry training video During my sermon last Sunday, I wasn't able to cover one of the most common forms of inner-healing ministry. You may have heard it called Sozo, but it hasn't always been called that. It is a practice of having a person visualize the moment of their trauma. Then the person leading the time will ask, "Okay, now where is Jesus in that moment?" ...

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. For the last two weeks, we had two guest speakers. Two weeks ago, Tim Summers covered for me at the last minute because I came down with Covid. Thanks, Tim, and great job! Watch The Holy Spirit Person . Last week, we had a special guest, Zac Tsai. Click here to watch Letters in the Sand . Zac used to be the Youth Pastor at Wellspring back before Nathan and David. I scheduled Zac to preach for me, so I could be in our New Member class... by the way, did you know we had a multi-week long class for new members? We cover 1) vision, values, and spiritual gifts, 2) getting involved in serving and ministering in the church, and 3) answering all the toughest questions about politics, soteriology, eschatology, LGBT, roles of women and men in ministry, and any other hot-button issue the new members want to bring up. That's the class I always make time to be there for.  This week, November 30, is technically the first Sunday of Advent, and the plan wa...

Last Sunday we had a members' meeting, but I know not everyone could be there... including me! I was sick with Covid, but I'm feeling great now, and I was able to be virtually present at the meeting. Here are some highlights: First, Joe gave an update on the church's finances . A quick overview is that our giving has increased over the last year, as you might expect with more people. Our expenses also increased, and the largest area of increase was in Missions Giving! That's a great sign of health. We are bringing in more money as a church, and that means our ministry partners are benefitting more. We have also put together a plan to start saving money every year to put toward either a new building or building out our warehouse for a larger place to meet, and hopefully we will go back to only having one Sunday service where we can all be together.  Secondly, I gave some look-aheads to some upcoming ministries . One upcoming ministry is our Deliverance Ministry. We are a...

Over the last few weeks, we have been in a series called Practical Freedom Ministry, which has been breaking down the basics of spiritual warfare. The timeline of how we ended up here is interesting, and when I noticed this one thing, I realized that God was setting us up.  Many of you remember that the Remnant Radio Conference was the first weekend of October. A few Wellspringers went to the conference, which focused on spiritual warfare, and we participated in numerous deliverances where people got set free from evil spirits. The next weekend, I was invited to New Hampshire to teach a four-part conference on spiritual warfare, while at the same time, Michael Miller came to Wellspring and hosted a Well service on the subject of breaking spiritual curses.  After that, I felt that we needed to start our Practical Freedom Ministry series, which we've been in ever since. That's the timeline that's obvious. Something I've noticed, however, is that other churches are experie...

  I said it on Sunday, and I'll say it again. It's an honor to be a part of a church that is getting its hands dirty doing the work of the ministry. Last week, we had our second annual Missions Week, where we invited all of our ministry partners to our Missions Sunday service, an after-church lunch, and our Missions Gala on Sunday night. If you missed the Sunday Service, click here to see the sermon titled Here I Am . Then on Wednesday, we gathered during our regular weekly prayer meeting and spent the evening laying hands on and praying for each of our ministry partners.  Afterward, we headed to our Adopt-a-Mission night, which consisted of another dinner whipped up by one of the two professional chefs who attend this church.  Click the picture above to see a video of one of our mission partners, Bishop Chola, teaching a room full of Americans how to show honor the Kenyan way. Or you can click  here  for the same video.  Also above is a picture from the pr...
