“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)

Today was another historical day of taking a stand for the WFJ GLOBAL MOVEMENT. Team destiny hosted their final of three WFJ (Words From Jesus) webinars in December 2009 called “The Miracle of Christmas.”

Dr. Joseph Peck served as the global connector and host of this webinar. The guest panelists were: Deb Smith, Richard Mayhan, Bertha Hinson, and me, Abigail Slocum. Clearly the Holy Spirit took control of the webinar before it ever started and never let go!

He began by waking me up at 3:22 AM to give me this prophetic word – WFJ: THE MIRACLE OF CHRISTMAS IS CHRIST! It was His way of orchestrating the whole focus for the discussion. These are the questions we covered:

1. What is the Miracle of Christmas?
2. What is the significance of Isaiah 9:1-7?
3. How does someone come into the LIGHT of Jesus?
4. What can people do to experience their most special Christmas ever?
5. Prayer for an UNCOMMON Christmas blessing.

WFJ: THE MIRACLE OF CHRISTMAS IS CHRIST!

Take the tour of the Word and be free in Christ. CHRISTMAS IS A SEASON FOR MIRACLES BUT EVERY DAY IS A MIRACLE IN CHRIST! TO BE IN CHRIST IS THE GREATEST MIRACLE OF ALL.

SALVATION IS THE GREATEST MIRACLE OF ALL. It is God�s free gift to all mankind. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him shall be saved (have eternal life).(John 3:16).

What is so miraculous is that SALVATION IS THE “GREAT EXCHANGE!” MAN GIVES GOD HIS IMPERFECT, BROKEN, SINFUL LIFE IN EXCHANGE FOR A PERFECT (COMPLETE) LIFE IN CHRIST. JESUS GIVES HIS ALL FOR OUR ALL!

When you receive Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, the LIGHT OF THE WORLD – THE CANDLE OF MAN, comes into your heart to show you the most excellent way of all to live. IT IS THE WAY OF LOVE BECAUSE GOD IS LOVE.

In this “GREAT EXCHANGE,” your old sinful man dies and the new man comes alive in Christ. CHRIST LIVES THROUGH YOU to live the perfect will of God which is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. (Romans 14:17).

Unity of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is your inheritance as a born again child of God. IT IS A LIFE OF VICTORY AND TOTAL PROVISION. To be one with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is to be free from every bondage of sin and to be free to experience the fullness and abundance of life in Christ Jesus. JESUS IS THE DOOR TO FREEDOM AND TOTAL FULFILLMENT.

Jesus� arms are open wide and ALL THAT BELONGS TO THE FATHER OF LIGHTS IS YOURS WHEN YOU SAY “YES” TO JESUS who is the express image and likeness of God, and His Kingdom of Love becomes yours!

IT IS A SUPERNATURAL GIFT OF DIVINE INFUSION AND PROPORTION AND IS THE GREATEST MIRACLE OF ALL! Become one with the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. ALLOW THE PRINCE OF PEACE TO RULE IN YOUR HEART FOREVERMORE, for God set eternity in the heart of man. He loves YOU so much and nothing will ever separate YOU from His love.

LET THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD LIGHT YOUR PATH AND BE A BEACON OF HOPE TO ALL MANKIND. THE KING OF GLORY HAS CHOSEN AND MADE A WAY TO TAKE UP RESIDENCE IN YOUR HEART AND BE YOUR KING AND PRINCE OF PEACE. SAY YES TO HIM AND THE KINGDOM IS YOURS!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL. The Redeemer wants to take all of you in your imperfection and transform you into the likeness of Christ. RECEIVE THE GREATEST GIFT KNOWN TO MANKIND AND LIVE “THE GREAT ADVENTURE” IN CHRIST. NOTHING CAN COMPARE TO THIS INDECSRIBABLE GIFT OF PURE AND PERFECT LOVE. It is greater than anything you ever wanted for Christmas for it is the desire of your heart. RECEIVE GOD�S GIFT AND SPEND THE REST OF YOUR NATURAL LIFE AND ETERNITY UNWRAPPING JESUS, GOD�S GIFT OF HIMSELF WHO IS PERFECT LOVE. THERE IS NO END TO LOVE. REJOICE AND BE AT PEACE. IMMANUEL HAS COME!

RECEIVE ALL OF THE GREATEST MIRACLE WHO EVER WAS OR IS TO COME! Let Christ have free reign in your heart and become His walking talking miracle and witness to all mankind. Your light has come. BE GLORIFIED IN HIS ETERNAL PRESENCE.

I LOVE YOU, MY CHILD. BE MADE WHOLE. ENTER THE JOY OF THE LORD. MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE PERFECT LOVER OF YOUR SOUL! BE SATISFIED IN ME. I AM YOUR FULFILLMENT AND HEART�S DESIRE. SHALOM.

Love in Jesus,

Prayer Power

If you don�t know Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, please say this prayer out loud from your heart and you shall be saved and come into God’s Kingdom of Love.

Father God, I believe in my heart that you sent your Son Jesus to die on the cross for me. I believe Jesus paid my sin debt in full. It was a debt I could not repay and it was a debt Jesus did not owe. Thank You, Jesus. I accept your perfect gift and sacrifice. Come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior. Baptize me in the power of your Holy Spirit and I will serve you all the days of my life! I am saved! I am free! Thank you, in Jesus name. Amen.

May you allow the God of all hope and the Prince of Peace to rule in your heart this day and forevermore. May this truly be your most significant Christmas ever as the FULLNESS of the gift of God’s LOVE FOR YOU, becomes an everyday reality in your life!

I BLESS YOU with the joy, laughter, and peace of God! I BLESS YOU with God’s amazing grace! I pray this in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

God is on the move and doing amazing things in this earth! He continues to draw the body of Christ together in unity for His purposes. People may not be aware of all or see all that the Lord is doing but He truly is “CONNECTING THE DOTS”.

THE MOMENTUM OF THE WFJ GLOBAL MOVEMENT IS BUILDING UP SPEED. The dam is about to break free and there will be undeniable evidence of God�s hand moving on His People. THE YOUTH WILL PLAY A BIG PART IN THE AWAKENING THAT WILL COME FORTH!

Upon awakening this morning I received a WFJ (Word From Jesus). It was just in time and so appropriate for the second webinar of three taking place at 8AM today. Dr. Randy Peck was hosting the Words From Jesus: How To Hear God’s Voice Webinar. Today’s topic was “The $14,400 Miracles!” The guest panelists were Doug Barclay, Bob Sims, and Bertha Hinson. During this life-changing, world changing webinar, they shared what Dr. Peck considered to be their BIGGEST GOD STORY FOR THE PAST SEVEN YEARS!

Without knowing what was going to be said today, this is what Jesus spoke to my heart. It�s so amazing how He is always right on time and right on target!

WFJ: SEEDTIME AND HARVEST

Now is the time of seedtime and harvest. I AM MOVING IN THIS EARTH IN UNUSUAL WAYS. I am the Lord of the Harvest. As long as the earth remains there is seedtime and harvest. I am planting My Word in the hearts of My people worldwide and they are speaking it out and it will bear much fruit. I DO NOT COMPROMISE MY WORD. It does not return void and it is accomplished.

MY WORD WILL BRING BILLIONS OF SOULS INTO MY KINGDOM. The Great Commission is going forth. I am also calling My people to sow financial seeds to bring in this end time harvest. SEEDS SOWN IN MY NAME FOR MY PURPOSES WILL REAP A GOD SIZED HARVEST. SPREAD MY WORD. SPREAD YOUR GIVING AND PARTAKE OF MY GLORY.

I bless you and invite you to enter My joy in the name of Jesus!

Your soon coming King!

Love in Jesus,

• Title: The $14,400 Miracles
• Series: Words From Jesus: How to hear God’s voice
• Date/Time: Saturday December 12, 2009, 8 am EST
• Facilitator: Holy Spirit
• Host: Dr. Randy Peck
• Panelists:
  - Doug Barclay: Regional Director in Partner Relations for Operation Mobilization (OM USA)
  - Bob Sims: Visionary of visionaries; Estensive business and ministry experience
  - Bertha Hinson: founder of Beauty From Ashes TV and His Gateway
  - Nancy Slocum: founder of God Whispers

In October 2002, I first met Doug Barclay at a Fellowship of Christian Athletes retreat at The Cove in Asheville, NC. As a result of our discussion, Doug left his full-time job in sales to pursue full-time ministry work with Operation Mobilization.

Through a most peculiar series of circumstances, I was eventually prompted by the Holy Spirit to sow an UNCOMMON $14,4000 (12 x $1,200) seed into Doug’s life in February 2003, which was my largest financial gift up to that time. It so happened this was the exact amount (to the dollar) Doug needed to begin work with Operation Mobilization and he began his new job on 03-03-03. Coincidence? I don’t think so. Numbers are significant to God.

An UNCOMMON seed always yields an UNCOMMON harvest. An UNCOMMON seed is one inspired by Holy Spirit for a God-sized result.

Here is what we covered …

“By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit;” (John 15:8a)

P.S. At the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders in the U.K. earlier this year, the primary word received was “no more business as usual.”

P.S.S. Do you sense a nudge to sow a $14,400 seed into God’s billion soul vision? If so, please call Dr. Randy Peck (540-547-4240).

Today (December 5, 2009) is a historical day because the “WFJ GLOBAL MOVEMENT” WAS LAUNCHED!!! Dr. Randy Peck hosted the Webinar (WFJ) WORDS FROM JESUS: HOW TO HEAR GOD’S VOICE. The topic was “The Spiritual Triangle Between Virginia, the U.K. and Italy. His guest panelists were Renato and Patrizia Amato from Italy and Lynne Lee from the U.K.

You may be wondering what is this WFJ GLOBAL MOVEMENT? Simply put it is the worldwide sharing of the Words From Jesus one receives in their quiet time with the Lord Jesus Christ. It is the spiritual discipline of “Two Way Journaling,” namely written dialogue/prayer. This habit bears extraordinary fruit and creates major transformation. When shared it is wonderfully multiplied.

Renato and Patrizia have been missionaries for many years. They both have been journaling and recording the words they hear from Jesus for a long time. Renato began posting these “LIFE GIVING” words in his blog and called them WFJ (Words From Jesus). Other life time two way journalists: Lynne Lee , Dr. Randy Peck, Bertha Hinson and myself also began posting our own WFJ in our blogs.

We truly believe this is a God inspired idea led by the Holy Spirit to create a worldwide WFJ MOVEMENT. It will cause millions of people to desire to hear from God for themselves through two way journaling. Now more than any other time in history, people need to hear from God. People are so desperate and hungry to know that God loves them and has a purpose for their lives. He cares for them and wants to direct their lives step by step. God designed every human heart for relationship. God�s burning desire is to have an abiding intimate relationship with each one of us.

Long beore the Webinar began, the Lord woke me up at precisely 6:12 AM and prompted me to begin praying in the spirit and interceding with resurrection power for Dr. Randy Peck’s webinar today and for the WFJ GLOBAL MOVEMENT to begin with a bang!

The number 6:12 is significant.

6 is the # for man. I AM INTERCEDING FOR:

1. The eyes of man to be opened to this God-sized WFJ move of God.
2. The ears of man to be opened to this truth: UPON THIS WFJ ROCK OF REVELATION JESUS WILL BUILD HIS CHURCH”
3. The hearts of man to be drawn like magnets all over the world by the power of the Holy Spirit to this call of God to come to Jesus and His Word.
4. I pray for God to stir up a deep desire for men, women and children to want to learn how to two way journal so they can hear the voice of God for themselves and then publish His Word to the world.
5. I declare in Jesus name that the mouth of the enemy is being slammed shut and the Words of Jesus are exponentially exploding in the earth to overcome every lie.
6. Every knee of man will bow and every tongue of man will confess that JESUS IS LORD!

The number 12 is significant.

1. Twelve is the number for government and apostolic authority.
2. For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given: And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6)
3. Twelve is the number of tribes of Israel. I CALL the tribes of the Lion of Judah to ARISE and take their rightful place in the plan of God and to spread the GOOD NEWS to the ends of the earth with the WORDS OF JESUS!

I want to invite and encourage everyone reading this to become a part of this vital worldwide move of God. Remember that “Two Way Journaling is God’s Supernatural HIGHway to His Heart!” Just start where you are!

Be blessed and go in the name of Jesus today knowing that WE ARE HISTORYMAKERS DECLARING THE WORDS FROM JESUS TO A DYING WORLD GROANING FOR THE SONS OF MAN TO BE MANIFEST IN THIS EARTH!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL FOR THE BEST CHRISTMAS EVER IN JESUS NAME!

In Christ,

P.S. Psalm 127:1 Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the LORD guards the city, The watchman stays awake in vain.

P.S.S. “The business of the church is PRAYER!” – Holy Spirit

 
Breakthrough begins with thanksgiving, praise, and prayer!

Then King David went in and sat before the LORD; and he said: “Who am I, O Lord GOD? And what is my house, that You have brought me this far? (2 Samuel 7:18)

What is the significance of the number 12 in Biblical numerology?
What is the significance of today’s message for you to breakthrough?

In Biblical numerology, the number “12″ represents the apostolic. According to the Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry (CARM), 12 is “THE NUMBER OF GOVERNMENTAL PERFECTION. There were 12 tribes of Israel; 12 Apostles, 12 foundations in the heavenly Jerusalem; 12 gates; 12 pearls; 12 angels. The measurements of New Jerusalem are 12,000 furlongs or stadia, while the wall will be 144 (12 x 12) cubits.”

Let me share a recent extraordinary story about the number 12 and the Angel Breakthrough.

On Saturday June 6, 2009, I hosted my very first live Web Marketing Intensive Training seminar at the Holiday Inn Express in Culpeper, Virginia. What happened there was extraordinary. Afterwards, Julia (my wife) and I went for a 24 mile (= 12 x 2) bike ride. During that ride, the LORD told me to ask Bob Sims to sow a $14,400 (= 12 x $1,200) financial seed to provide the funding to allow all of our MTC (Marching Through Culpeper) prayer team members to participate in our first 12-week quick start Web 2.0 program.

During my morning quiet time on June 8, 2009, I spent four hours writing a long two-way prayer and then composing a lengthy email to Bob Sims asking him to sow an UNCOMMON financial seed ($14,400) by June 12 to help our prayer team breakthrough with the Marching Through Culpeper movie project. It turned out my email to Bob had about twelve “12′s” in it.

Meanwhile, while I was composing that email to Bob, he was sending his own email with an audio file titled “Breakthrough.” That was the first time Bob has ever emailed me an audio file and neither of us knew what the other was doing. Neither of us knew what the other was doing.

The audio file “breakthrough” happened to be 12 minutes long. Bob Jones, the speaker on the audio file started,

“A week ago Friday I was in Nashville and I went and laid down at 3 o-clock. And I no sooner laid down and I was in what I call a trance. And I was waiting on a road and 12 men were coming toward me and I could see that they were angels. But one was in front of the others. And the one that was in front came up to me and said ‘My name is Breakthrough.’”

Here are some things the “BREAKTHROUGH” angel said that jumped out at me:
1) “I’m going to move among the common people” (bloggers)
2) “If you do what I tell you, we are going to bring many into the Kingdom”
3) “I use tools!” (Web 2.0)
4) “His angels are like winds. I believe he said Move, Move, Move. It is 3 cities that are ready.”
5) “It’s America’s time for breatkthrough. Study about breakthrough in scripture. Most of the breakthroughs come through praise.”
6) “It’s now.” .. It’s time the Body of Christ quits being observers and becomes participaters.

Prayer Power
Heavenly Father, thank You for Bob Sim’s extraordinary faith and obedience. Thank You for the audio file he sent me about the Angel Breakthrough. Thank You for his $14,400 seed sown on June 12 that You will multiply 100 fold. May those who visit this web page sit before You to reflect upon today’s message. Bless them with ears to hear and eyes to see what You are revealing to them to do to break through in their own lives. Thank You Jesus. In Your name I pray. Amen and hallelujah!

Blessing to go in and sit before the LORD as King David did!

Prayer Power (Mon, June 8, 2009)

Randy, I want you to start your morning by listening to I AM – 365 Names of God to remind you not just who I AM, but who you are in Me. I want your faith to increase. I have brought you to this point so that you have to ask for help from people who I want to partner with you. Nana will want to sow into your life and Julia’s life. It’s Ok to ask her. She sees Me through you. She wants you to be richly blessed. She believes in what you are doing. Likewise, Bob will want to sow into what you are doing. He understands Me. He knows I AM a supernatural God and that My ways are so much higher than the world’s ways and that My thoughts are so much higher than the world’s thoughts. Bob can see God working through you. As a visionary for visionaries and a forerunner of forerunners, Bob understands how I ask my Jedi Knights to do unusual and extraordinary things. Bob will want to partner with you financially. He understands Kingdom economics, which always trump world economics. My yield is 30-60-100 fold, not 5-10%. Randy, write down Proverbs 3:3-10 that Tim Smith read yesterday while on stage at SPC. That was for you.

Let not mercy and truth forsake you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart, And so find favor and high esteem In the sight of God and man. Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones. Honor the LORD with your possessions, And with the firstfruits of all your increase; So your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will overflow with new wine. (Proverbs 3:3-10)

These verses will minister to Bob’s spirit. They will speak life into him. They will help him understand what I AM asking him to do. When Bob sows his financial seed, that will be the blowing of the shofar for the fourth time. When Nana sows her seed, that will be the blowing of the shofar for the fifth time. Saturday June 6 was the blowing of My shofar for the third time. The Web Marketing Intensive Training Seminar you led was profound. I completely redirected your paths. What you did is duplicatable and saleable. I AM creating a system for you, Randy, to help My children share their God stories, products, and services with the world. Bob’s seed will allow you to invite in all MTC prayer team members. Just teaching your tribe members how to use affiliate marketing alone will result in much, much recurring financial income. I AM both the giver and the gifts. Copy and paste the I AM track you are listening to right now.

I AM Track #10: “God the reward: I AM your exceedingly great reward. I AM the LORD; taste and see that I AM good. I AM both the giver and the gifts. I AM the preparer of your place in heaven. I AM able to give you much more than this. I AM the one source of all true wealth. I AM the Spirit of liberty. I AM He who anoints your head with oil. I AM the bridegroom returning for my bride. I AM the LORD who looks on those who tremble at My Word. I AM God who prepares a table for you in the presence of your enemies. I AM in the midst of two or three gathered in My name. I AM God who will answer you. I AM the glory who conceals a matter for a king to search out. I AM the fountain of gardens. I AM the resurrection of my beloved. I AM God whose throne is in heaven. I AM from above. I AM the LORD whose countenance beholds the upright. I AM the just rewarder of all who seek Me. I AM God who teaches you to profit. I AM the giver of abundant life. I AM more than you can ask or think. I AM sitting at the right hand of the Father. I AM the maker of many mansions therein. I AM the Sabbath rest. I AM the inheritance of the Levite. I AM the fountain of life. I AM the giver of great wisdom. I AM the Holy Spirit that hovers over your life.

Randy, I want you to send the I AM – 365 Names of God PDF file to Bob as an attachment when you send him your email from Me this morning. Also, I want you to post the audio file on the MTC blog as a private post. Bob’s seed will unlock financial wealth for the entire MTC prayer team through Web 2.0 coaching from you. Bob’s seed will also unlock large Kingdom networks through you and your networks. Bob understands Mt 6:21 “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” and Heb 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” Trust and obey! Trust and obey! Trust and obey! I AM who I AM. At my Word, all knees will bow.

Jesus, I am overwhelmed by your mercy, grace, power, and abundance. Thank You for your encouraging words and clear direction this morning. Thank You for the passion within me. As Tim said yesterday, please put up a roadblock whenever I start to stray off Your path of life. May people see Your glory and Your majesty through me. May I be completely transparent so that nothing hinders your full manifestation through me. Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done today, June 8, 2009. To You be all glory, honor, and praise. I love You with every fiber of my being. Thank You for being my friend in addition to my LORD, King, and Master. Thank You for being the Comforter of my soul. And that reminds me of how you sent me to Holy Comforter School for grades 1-3 in Charlottesville and how Mrs. Cox, my second grade teacher, helped me get on the right path academically. She was the teacher who first manifest the love of God to me in school. Thank You for Mrs. Cox. Bless her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Jesus, I am overwhelmed by Your presence.

Yes, Randy, I AM light. I AM peace. I AM love. I AM joy. When you’re in my presence you feel all those things. Your face is glowing right now just as Moses face glowed. You are ready to write My letter to Bob Sims. After doing that, add the I AM -365 Names of God audio file to the MTC blog. Then do these things in this order. Do not allow anything to distract you:

Subject: The $14,400 Miracle
To: Robert Sims

Dear Bob,

Jesus has given my a crystal clear instruction to ask you to sow a $14,400 seed to become a financial and covenant partner with Empower 2000 and JIREH Marketing (Jerry and Sharon Graham’s parent company). Your seed will form a triad of Kingdom-minded companies to storm the gates of hell.

Attached is my 2-way prayer with Jesus from this morning which will minister to your spirit and bring clarity. The LORD actually told me in my spirit to ask you to sow this UNCOMMON seed on Saturday June 6 while I was riding my bike 24 miles with Julia about seven hours after the Web Marketing Intensive Training Seminar was over. He told me again several times on Sunday June 7.

I have an urgent financial need that require both faith and mercy on the part of the sower. By Friday June 12 at the latest, I must have at least $3,000 more in my personal checking account to pay two automatic withdrawals, $1,733 to my home mortgage company and $3,000 to the IRS. Julia and I are desperate for a financial miracle. Julia has been such a trooper for the LORD through the extreme financial hardships we have experienced during the past year.

Some history is in order.

As you already know, I committed my life to Jesus on January 6, 2001 (Epiphany Sunday), 2000 years after Jesus was born. I knew the very moment I made that monumental decision that my life purpose was to be the greatest salesman in the world for the Word of God. This came on the heels of the Holy Spirit leading me to read “The Greatest Salesman in the World” book during 2000. I actually read each of the ten scrolls 3x per day for 30 days (90 times per month) over the course of 10 months (Feb-Nov 2000) to the point I had the entire book memorized. I have never done anything like that before or since.

Knowing my life purpose has been what has kept me going through all the trials and tribulations associated with such a great assignment. It’s what has led me to give all I have to those in need as the Holy Spirit has directed me. It’s been what has kept me from going back to do anesthesia to provide for my family.

In April 2001, I got connected to the Fellowship of Christian Athletes after being invited to their annual banquet in Fredericksburg, VA. That led me to volunteer to help me the local FCA huddle in Culpeper. It turned out the very first FCA huddle (student group meeting) I ever went to in my life took place on the morning of Sept 12, 2001, the day after 9-11. My daughter showed up out-of-the-blue. Less than two weeks later she committed her life to Christ and was transformed miraculously from a selfish teenager to a beautiful young lady.

The FCA has had a greater impact on me than any other ministry in my life! See

To understand the spiritual significance of the $14,400 amount, you must read my YDB devotional from March 8, 2007 titled “The Doug Barclay Miracle.”
http://yourdailyblessing.com/the-doug-barclay-miracle/  (2007-03-08)

On January 1, 2007, the first day of my sabbatical year and my 21 day fast, the Holy Spirit told me to ask 12 people to sow a $14,400 seed into Empower 2000 to keep me from having to tap my IRA. When I asked my parents, they agreed to do that, albeit reluctantly. When I asked Michael Stay, he turned down the opportunity. When I asked Patti May, no seed was sown. Those “no’s” took the wind out of my sails to ask others.

Incidentally, I first got connected to Patti on Jan 1, 2007 when I serendipitously called together a group of Pray Culpeper members to meet in a downtown Culpeper building adjacent to the post office to dedicate a suite to be a prayer sanctuary for our community. Patti connected me with Bob Griffin, an extraordinary Messianic Jewish prophet, who then came to Culpeper for the very first time on January 15, 2007. See http://yourdailyblessing.com/bob-griffin-is-coming-to-culpeper-on-jan-15/

Now I realize the timing to ask for the other $14,400 seeds wasn’t right. Those people weren’t ready and neither was I. But now God is inviting 11 more people to sow a $14,400 seed into Empower 2000 to become “web apostles” to empower people, businesses, and communities around the world through the combination of journaling (to hear God’s voice), coaching (for support, encouragement, and accountability), and Web 2.0 (relationship marketing).

I had never seen or heard the word “Web apostle” until Deborah Smith, one of my three RCN (Relational Coaching Network) coaching partners, referred to me as that in her email following the Web Marketing Intensive Training Seminar two days ago (Saturday June 6). My recent correspondence with Deborah is attached.

Please listen to Deborah’s and Virginia’s audio testimonies at http://www.prosper777.com/

What happened at the Web Marketing Intensive Training seminar on June 6 was extraordinary. I was very pleased with the overall excitement, interaction, and responses of the 10-11 participants, all who were born-again believers. Virginia Morton was there. All of us gleaned something of significance that will change how we market in the future. I obtained great video testimonies from almost all the participants afterwards. It turned out the Holy Spirit led me to create my own curriculum and PowerPoints for the seminar rather than using ones I had purchased in the “$10k in a weekend” package. After the seminar was over, Michael Stay told me that what I prepared was much better than what I had purchased. He told me that small businesses are hungry for what I have to offer. This is HUGE.

The LORD led me to offer the seminar participants this:

UNCOMMON Opportunity ($1,440 package, limited to 15 people)
12-week quick start program = 90 days of UNCOMMON Internet Marketing (IM) Coaching
a) 7 one-hour group coaching calls ($1,400 value) [= $200/hour x 7]
b) 12 weeks of IM coaching via daily emails ($1,680) [=$20/email x 84 emails]
c) Access to private Member site with online resources x 1 year ($1,200 value)
d) Professional Blog ($500)
e) One private 60 minute session with a Web 2.0 coach ($300 value)
f) One mutually agreeable Joint Venture opportunity (> $10,000 value)

While riding my bike with Julia 24 miles after the seminar, the Holy Spirit told me that your $14,400 financial seed will provide the funding to allow all of our MTC prayer team members to participate in this 12-week quick start program. That will bless each of us and our team enormously – Virginia, Burt, Rick Heeren, Carrie and Rod Stone, David Bean, Georgia Willis, Ben Stewart, Butch Mills, Kay Dunkley, Nasir Iqbal, and YOU. Carrie and Rod need our help ASAP. So do Nasir and Deborah Smith.

Your $14,400 seed will serve as the key to unlock extraordinary financial provision for …
1) Julia and me
2) Jerry and Sharon Graham
3) You and Carol
4) Deborah and David Smith
5) Ben and Kay Stewart
6) The Christian coaching networks world-wide
7) The entire MTC prayer team
8) The world-wide FCA network

Here’s what you will get for your $14,400 seed
1) Free passes for 12 people of your choosing to the 12-week quick start program
2) 1% of the gross income of Empower 2000 through December 31, 2011 (paid quarterly)
3) My coaching to help you launch your own weekly webinars for dreams and visions
4) 12 one-hour one-on-one coaching sessions for you by me
5) One professional coffee blog and one tea blog with 12 hours of training by Julia

You may sow your seed either as a one time payment of $14,400 or in 3 equal installments of $4,800. Presuming the Holy Spirit leads you to sow this UNCOMMON seed, I prefer for you to wire the money into my personal Suntrust checking account so the money is definitely available by June 12. Another alternative would be to mail your check to me overnight.

Please let me know what you decide to do by June 9 if possible. Thank you.

Blessings for UNCOMMON obedience and favor!

Subject: The wind of the breakthrough
To: Robert Sims

Hi Bob,

This morning while I was laying in bed reflecting, the LORD told me to re-send my 2-way prayer from yesterday to you this morning, but this time to include it directly in the email instead of as an attachment.

After getting up, I came downstairs, knelt down and prayed a few minutes. Then I came to my desk to journal. I was planning to listen to Genesis 49-50 (Jacob’s blessing on Joseph), but when I maximized iTunes, I noticed “Breakthrough Revival (prophecy),” the MP3 file you sent me yesterday, happened to be at the very top of my iTunes window I had opened. The Holy Spirit prompted me to listen to that again.

Here is how Bob Jones starts, “A week ago Friday I was in Nashville and I went and laid down at 3 o-clock. And I no sooner laid down and I was in what I call a trance. And I was waiting on a road and 12 men were coming toward me and I could see that they were angels. But one was in front of the others. And the one that was in front came up to me and said ‘My name is Breakthrough.’”

Nashville might well be the most spiritually warm city in America.

Here are some things the “BREAKTHROUGH” angel said that jumped out at me:
1) “I’m going to move among the common people” (bloggers)
2) “If you do what I tell you, we are going to bring many into the Kingdom”
3) “I use tools!”
4) “His angels are like winds. I believe he said Move, Move, Move. It is 3 cities that are ready.”
5) “It’s America’s time for breatkthrough. Study about breakthrough in scripture. Most of the breakthroughs come through praise.”
6) “It’s now.” .. It’s time the Body of Christ quits being observers and becomes participaters.

The web is the number one business tool available. Ted Baehr, the founder of Movie Guide, uses this for his email signature, “He controls the media controls the culture.” Since the web is the most powerful type of media on the planet now, Ted’s statement can be boiled down to “He who controls the web controls the culture.”

We know the number “12″ in Biblical numerology represents the apostolic. Yesterday I spent 4 hours in the Holy of holies composing the email I sent you. This morning while reviewing that, I noticed the frequency of the number 12 in that email

1) $14,400 = 12 x $1200
2) 12-week quick start program
3) 12 weeks of Internet Marketing coaching
4) Free passes for 12 people of your choosing to the 12-week quick start program
5) 12 one-hour one-on-one coaching sessions for you by me
6) One professional coffee blog and one tea blog with 12 hours of training by Julia
7) “Web apostle” – In her email sent after the Web Marketing Intensive Training Seminar, Deborah Smith referred to me as that. That is the first time anyone ever referred to me as “web apostle.”
“3 cities” – In yesterday’s email, I wrote, “Your seed will form a triad of Kingdom-minded companies to storm the gates of hell.”

The Holy Spirit will process this for you to lead you into all truth.

Blessings,

Randy

P.S. At the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders in the U.K. earlier this year, the primary word received was “no more business as usual.”

Zec 4:6 So he answered and said to me: ‘This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the LORD of hosts.

Who are you upsetting? Who are you connecting? Who are you leading?

Then Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, “This is the thing which the LORD has commanded: (Numbers 30:1)

Yesterday morning, Michael Stay sent me an email with a link to a profound video with Seth Goodin talking about tribes. This was in follow up to our strategic planning meeting on May 14.

Seth says we are living during a major transition with how ideas are shared and spread. We are in a new model of leadership. Changes are no longer made with money and power. Tribes are what matter now. It’s tribes that can change our world, not because they force people but because people want to connect. Assemble tribes that assemble tribes that becomes a movement.

Seth then asks, “Who are you upsetting? Who are you connecting? Who are you leading?”

Most movements are about finding a group that’s disconnected, but already has a yearning. Change comes by affecting the “who” not the mechanics of what you are doing. People are waiting for you to lead them.

Tribe Leaders …
1) Challenge the status quo
2) Build a culture
3) Connect people to one another. More than anything else, people want to feel missed.
4) Commit to the cause, to the tribe, to the people who are there.

Challenge: Do something. It only takes 24 hours to create a movement.

Prayer Power
Almighty and eternal God and Father, I worship and adore You. I ask You to help me assemble a modern-day Gideon army, a tribe, to inspire people around the world to the greatness You designed them for. Thank You Jesus for being my Shepherd, for making me lie down in green pastures, for guiding me in the steps of righteousness and leading me for Your own name sake. Anoint me from the heavens. Anoint me from the Holy Temple. Anoint me from Zion, O Lord.

Blessings to do something to change the world — to join or lead a tribe!

Then Esther told them to reply to Mordecai: “Go, gather all the Jews who are present in Shushan, and fast for me; neither eat nor drink for three days, night or day. My maids and I will fast likewise. And so I will go to the king, which is against the law; and if I perish, I perish!” (Esther 4:15-16)

What ACTION step will you take within 24 hours to TURNAROUND your life?

March 3 was the most profound day of my life!

During the weekly Marching Through Culpeper prayer call on March 10, Virginia Morton shared with our prayer team of 9 people that the keyword the LORD gave her for this week is TURNAROUND. God is a God of turnarounds. Virginia said she was drawn to the book of Esther and this week we focus on the story of Esther.

As mentioned in my YDB devotional sent earlier on March 10 titled “Organizing Your Life,” 94 people registered for Lynne Lee’s webinar interview of me and 34 people showed up live for the inaugural launch of her Christian LIFE Coaching Cafe on March 3.

Within just 48 hours of that TURNAROUND event, two people bought my “UNCOMMON Journaling For Breakthroughs” e-book and 28 more downloaded the free Introduction. And at least 5-7 guests on the webinar committed to join Lynne’s Christian LIFE Coaching Cafe. following my webinar.

As I was writing this devotional, I realized March 3 was a major TURNAROUND day, not just for me, but for many people around the world. My journaling e-book had finally been completed and was being offered for sale. During my two-way prayer time on March 3, Jesus told me:

“Randy, CONTRATULATIONS. You’ve made it. Today, the baby is being birthed. Your journaling book which has been 8 years in the making is finally complete and ready for sale. I’ve been looking forward to this day, not just for you, but for the many people who will benefit greatly from reading your book.

This book is about much more than journaling. It’s about much more than breakthroughs. It’s about developing a deep and abiding relationship with Me. It’s about understanding who I AM really is. It’s about learning to hear My voice so you can follow Me.”

About two months ago, Dr. Jerry Graham spoke a prophetic word to me that this journaling book might well be the log that when released unlocked a log jam of ideas and opportunities that God has been waiting years to birth. Over the past month, I’ve come to realize that applies to everyone who buys the book and follows through with my recommend 35-day growth plan.

Only those who take ACTION will receive. Highly successful people make decisions quickly and change their minds slowly.

Prayer Power
Most gracious and merciful heavenly Father, we praise You as the God of TURNAROUNDS. Thank You for Your Holy Spirit who is the Revealer of all truth (John 16:13). Thank You that 2009 is the year of FRUIT. Thank You for the millions of people who will be impacted greatly in 2009 through their new habit of spiritual journaling. Jesus, You are my all-in-all. Thank You that every breath I take, every move I make is in You. Amen and hallelujah!

Your Break Through Is Just One Click Away!

Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, (Ephesians 3:20)

Are you chasing the Wild Goose?
If not now, when?

I’m so excited. My spirit is jumping with joy. This week I’m on the verge of perhaps the greatest breakthrough of my life and I see breakthroughs happening all around me. I see the favor of God upon TEAM DESTINY and JIREH Marketing Members. I’ll be sharing about some of those this week and next. The keyword for this week is “WILD GOOSE.”

My prayer is that you will catch the Holy Spirit fever and choose to jump into His flowing river of living water. The Wild Goose chase has begun and we’re going after Him. Incidentally, Mark Batterson wrote a sequel to his “Chase The Lion” book called “Wild Goose Chase: Reclaim the Adventure of Pursuing God.”

In that book, Mark shares: “Celtic Christians had a name for the Holy Spirit –An Geadh-Glas, or ‘the Wild Goose.’ The name hints at mystery. Much like a wild goose, the Spirit of God cannot be tracked or tamed. An element of danger, an air of unpredictability surround Him. And while the name may sound a little sacrilegious, I cannot think of a better description of what it’s like to follow the Spirit through life. I think the Celtic Christians were on to something….

Today, allow me to share an amazing God story about Dewey McDonnell that is unfolding quickly. For more than 3 years, Dewey McDonnell has played a lead role on our core team for Pray Culpeper. He was one of the first people to sign up to be on my intercessory prayer team for Your Daily Blessing when that was formally announced in November 2008.

When I asked people on my intercessory prayer team to submit their own prayer requests so I could pray about those, Dewey responded asking me to pray for 3 things. One of those was for multiplication of the Experiencing God LIFE groups that Pastor Mark Jenkins had helped ignite back in September 2008.

Little did I know that I would become part of one of those Experiencing God LIFE groups and that we would meet at Elizabeth Powell’s beautiful home, just one mile from where I live. As a result of the first meeting, the “Experiencing God Through Journaling” webinar series was birthed. Two days ago, I emailed Richard Blackaby to open a door to discuss partnering with Blackaby Ministries and Lifeway Christian Resources to launch “Experiencing God” webinars world-wide.

Because of my involvement with the “Experiencing God” LIFE group, I learned that Katherine McDonnell, Dewey’s daughter competing in the ACC Championship swim meet taking place on Feb 20-21.

On Sunday Feb 22, Dewey sent an email sharing that Katherine helped lead her University of Virginia (UVA) swim team to a second straight ACC Championship. Her IM medley team broke UVA’s all-time record. Katherine also place second overall in the 100m breaststroke and third in the 200m breaststroke, eclipsing her previous best times and qualifying her for the national meet in Dallas.

Prayer Power
Daddy, thank You for inviting me to take part in the Wild Goose chase. Thank you for the thrill and unpredictability in chasing Him. Please invite my followers to join in this chase of their lifetime. Jesus, you’re the best! It’s in Your precious and mighty name I pray. Amen and hallelujah!

3) What’s a win or good thing that happened that you’d like to celebrate with us?

• Dewey McDonnell’s daughter, Katherine, helped lead her team to a second straight ACC championship in swimming. Her IM relay team won first place and broke the all-time ACC record. Katherine won second place in the 100m breast stroke and third place in the 200m breast stroke. Dewey is part of the core team for Pray Culpeper.
• Jesus told me to partner with Henry Blackaby, his son, and Lifeway Christina Resources to launch world-wide “Experiencing God Through Journaling” webinars! By combining online journaling, life coaching, and Web 2.0 with what they already are doing around the world, there will be Explosive Kingdom Impact.
• GW Dameron, pastor of City on a Hill Church in Culpeper, found a new job after being laid off in Nov 2008.

4. What’s something that you might like to bring to the group this week?

a) Need continued prayer to complete my “UNCOMMON Journaling For Breakthroughs” ebook. Completing this will release a log jam of ideas and opportunities that God has been waiting to birth.
b) UNCOMMON Favor for webinar interview by Lynne Lee on Tues March 3
c) Need lots of prayer for God’s favor to effectively market “Experiencing God Through Journaling” webinars. That might well turn out to be my bread and butter business opportunity.

“Nothing is as important in your Christian walk than learning to hear Jesus’ voice!”

“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” (John 10:27)

What impact will it have on your life when you learn to hear Jesus’ voice consistently?

The topic for this week and my focus this year is “God’s Voice Worldwide.” That was the title of Mark Virkler’s January 2009 e-newsletter sent on December 31 to his 15,000 subscribers. Mark is author of “How to Hear God’s Voice” and President of Christian Leadership University (CLU). He is also President and Founder of Communion With God Ministries. What a great name.

2008 was a profound year for me in terms of relationships. Not only did I grow wider (i.e. many more relationships), but much deeper with relationships I already had. As I reflect back on 2008, it seems Mark Virkler had a greater impact on my intimacy (relationship) with Jesus than anyone, even though I only spoke to Mark once in 2008. Amazing! And who connected me with Mark? Dr. Jerry Graham.
.
In my one hour conversation with Mark on June 9, 2008, he taught me 4 keys to hearing God’s voice. One of those was two-way journaling (me and Jesus). I began applying those 4 keys the next morning and my life has not been the same since. Mark is a world-renown leader at teaching people to hear God’s voice through journaling. What Mark teaches is simple, not rocket science.

On Saturday Jan 3 while journaling 2-way, Jesus told me,

“Randy, you’ve been trying to do way too much in the natural. I work in the supernatural. One connection from me can completely change your life. Mark Virkler is that connection. I created you to be an UNCOMMON Journaler. I have taught you how to use Web 2.0 to help people like Mark Virkler and those in his network share their messages with the world. Today, as you read Mark’s Dec 31 email, I had this jump out at you:

‘Every January, I journal and ask the Lord what He wants me to focus on during the coming 12 months. I encourage you to do the same. He has always directed me into the areas where He wants me to grow in and master.

Over the years it has included topics such as abiding in Christ, operating in the gifts of the Holy Spirit, improving the quality of my marriage, learning to market and finance CLU, along with many others. Generally I write a book on what I have learned, as the passion of a Spirit-anointed teacher is to pass on revelation knowledge so others who desire can follow in their footsteps.’

Randy, Mark has been waiting for someone to come alongside him to show him how to market CLU. I have trained you and Jerry to use Web 2.0, the number one marketing tool on the planet bar none. On his Welcome page for CLU, Mark says his top priority is “Raising up Spirit-anointed leaders who disciple nations.” I have led you to change your slogan for all your main websites (blogs) to “Changing Lives to Disciple Nations!” Get it – Disciple Nations. That’s what Mark wants to do. That’s what you and Jerry want to do. That what I want to do. And learning to hear God’s voice is the key.”

Prayer Power
Jesus, I thank You for Mark Virkler and his anointing to teach others to hear Your Voice. Thank you for connecting the two of us through Jerry Graham. Thank you that Mark has agreed to a 3-way meeting with Jerry and me in mid January. May you bless that meeting and the outcome to allow 2009 to be the year of “God’s Voice Worldwide.” Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Amen and hallelujah!

Dr. Randy Peck’s complete 2-way prayer entry for January 3, 2009  

To hear God’s voice, tune your radio to “S.V.S.J” – Stillness, Vision, Spontaneity, Journaling

Lord Jesus, thank You for leading me this morning to Mark Virkler’s Dec 31 email titled “God’s Voice Worldwide (January 2009).” Thank You for leading me to cut and paste that into my journal and then reflect upon it. Thank You for Your reminder to order Mark’s Virkler’s materials today (now).

I want to say I’m sorry for not following through sooner with the instruction You gave to me on June 22 to “Schedule a 3 way meeting with Jerry and Mark Virkler.” Please forgive me.

Randy, you’ve had a lot going on and have allowed a lot of distractions in your life. This time you spend with me each morning settles your mind and let’s you focus on what’s most important in your life. As Mark Virkler said in his Dec 31 email, “When you use ‘Laser Light Focus,’ things change in your life.”

Today, I led you to “A Welcome from the President” at Christian Leadership University. I wanted you to read Mark’s introductory message to students and potential students.

Our Top Priority: “Raising up Spirit-anointed leaders who disciple nations.”

“Thank you for choosing to examine what you will find to be an exciting and innovative educational opportunity. Our program is designed to meet your needs, and stretch and equip you to become a world-changing, Spirit-anointed leader.

In the midst of international travail, God is seeking a people who will become disciplers of nations, lead and not follow, lend and not borrow, be above and not underneath (Deut. 28:1-14). This will not be done out of human wisdom or strength but by the anointing and wisdom of God Himself flowing through His children. That is why God begins Deuteronomy 28 by twice saying, “If you will obey My voice…then….” So we will train you to hear the voice of God and then to apply it to the various disciplines of life in which God is calling you to demonstrate anointed leadership.

Since we have removed the sacred/secular split and believe that the earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof, we will train you to take applied biblical understanding as well as the voice and anointing of God into all areas of life and to demonstrate godly leadership there. I sense that God is raising up sons and daughters of Abraham who will minister in multi-gifted fashion as Abraham did. Abraham was a spiritual leader, a business leader, and a political leader, all wrapped up in one. May we learn to live in like manner. We provide for our graduates to be ordained and certified in many different vocational/ministry settings.”

Randy, you’ve been trying to do way too much in the natural. I work in the supernatural. One connection from me can completely change your life. Mark Virkler is that connection. I created you to be an UNCOMMON Journaler. I have taught you how to use Web 2.0 to help people like Mark Virkler and those in his network share their messages with the world. Today, as you read Mark’s Dec 31 email, I had this jump out at you:

Every January, I journal and ask the Lord what He wants me to focus on during the coming 12 months. I encourage you to do the same. He has always directed me into the areas where He wants me to grow in and master.

Over the years it has included topics such as abiding in Christ, operating in the gifts of the Holy Spirit, improving the quality of my marriage, learning to market and finance CLU, along with many others. Generally I write a book on what I have learned, as the passion of a Spirit-anointed teacher is to pass on revelation knowledge so others who desire can follow in their footsteps.

Randy, Mark has been waiting for someone to come alongside him to show him how to market CLU. I have trained you and Jerry to use Web 2.0, the number one marketing tool on the planet bar none. On his Welcome page for CLU, Mark says his top priority is “Raising up Spirit-anointed leaders who disciple nations.” I have led you to change your slogan for all your main websites (blogs) to “Changing Lives to Disciple Nations!” Get it – Disciple Nations. That’s what Mark wants to do. That’s what you and Jerry want to do. That what I want to do. And learning to hear God’s voice is the key.

Randy, Mark is waiting for you to show him and his network how to use The Journal, the greatest journaling tool on the planet. And I have taught you how to use it in UNCOMMON ways. Also, the DESTINY course that you and and Jerry put together is a major missing piece of the puzzle for Mark that will have a profound impact on Mark’s network. When God’s children get in alignment with their assignments, My provision will follow. Watch and see. My glory is upon you. Behold I do a new work.

Randy, here is what you are to do this morning:
1) Order Mark Virkler’s materials that he told you about when you first spoke to him on June 9, 2008. – Done
2) Email Mark Virkler requesting a 3-way meeting with him, Jerry Graham, and you. – Done
3) Add the audio testimonies to the Destiny course landing page. Also add other people’s testimonies about your journaling. Add “When you get in alignment with your assignment, God’s provision will follow.” and “Prosperity is having enough of God’s provision to accomplish His assignment for your life.”
4) Write your 2008 family Christmas letter. You are finally ready.
5) Record and transcribe the audio from Sid Roth’s interview of Mark Virkler
And finally, Randy, here’s the goal – “God’s Voice Worldwide” – and you will accomplish that through a Joint Venture between you, Jerry, and Mark.

“And you shall remember that the LORD your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not.” (Deuteronomy 8:2)

What were the top 10 highlights and low points for you personally in 2008?

In keeping with the annual tradition begun last year, I’m going to share the top ten spiritual stories of 2008 from my perspective. These stories relate primarily to Culpeper, but also Virginia because both are my home.

On December 26, 2008, the Culpeper Star Exponent published a lengthy article titled “Culpeper’s top 10 stories of 2008.” According to that, these were the top ten stories in order of significance:
1) We felt the full effects of the 2008 recession
2) Culpeper opens new high school
3) Center of the political universe
4) It started with Cox’s dismissal
5) Town thrice left in the dark
6) Controversy for Branch, Compton
7) Teen’s death hits entire community
8) Town’s future a matter of politics
9) No shortage of candidates here
10) Terremark – new facility brings jobs

In Culpeper (and Virginia), the top 10 spiritual stories of 2008 were (in chronologic order)
1) Selection of Dr. Rev. Charlene Phillips as President of the  Culpeper Ministerial Association (Feb 2008)
2) Virginia-Liberia Alliance established (Apr 2008)
3) Launch of City on a Hill Church by GW Dameron (June 2008)
4) Launch of Transformation Virginia initiative (Aug 2008) – Culpeper’s fire spread because of Jack Stagman
5) Death of Kelsey Orndorff (08-29-08)
6) Eastern View High School opened (school name is very significant biblically)
7) Launch of community-wide Experiencing God initiative (09-07-08) – spearheaded by Rev. Mark Jenkins
8) Churches launch homeless initiative in Culpeper (Nov 2008)
9) Culpeper Community Thanksgiving service (11-25-08) – UNITY
10) Marching Through Culpeper convergences

Of course, these 10 stories represent only a very small fraction of the many great things that God did in Culpeper in 2008. Thank you to all of you (locally, regionally, nationally, and even internationally) who are sowing your prayers, time, treasure, and talent to make Culpeper and Virginia a bright light for the world.

At the statewide level for Virginia, one of the most significant positive spiritual initiatives I am aware of for 2008 was the decision by Bowie Curry to launch a 24/7 house of prayer in the Greater Fredericksburg area starting January 2009.

On the national front, “The epic election that made Barack Obama the first African-American president was the top news story of 2008 – followed closely by the economic meltdown that will test his leadership, according to U.S. editors and news directors voting in The Associated Press’ annual poll.

Internationally, I feel the Beijing Olympics, which began 08-08-08, brought a significant and temporary peace and calm to the world overall for a few weeks during an otherwise very stormy year.

Prayer Power
Heavenly Father, thank You for the favor you showed to Culpeper and Virginia this past year. Thank You that the pastors and churches in our community are coming together more and more in UNITY to address common problems we face. May 2009 be the best year ever spiritually in the history of Culpeper and Virginia. Do an amazing work to make our communities a bright light for the world! In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen and hallelujah!

Blessings to make the time to reflect back on 2008 and to set godly goals for 2009!

————————————————————————————————————————–

Details for top 10 spiritual stories of 2008 for Culpeper (in chronologic order)

1) Selection of Dr. Rev. Charlene Phillips as President of the  Culpeper Ministerial Association
On Feb 19, 2008, Rev. Randy Orndorff passed the baton to Rev. Charlene Phillips to serve as President of the Culpeper Ministerial Association for two years. This marked the very first time that a female and a black person were elected to the recognized top position of spiritual authority for the Culpeper community. Charlene did a wonderful job leading in the Spirit to bring more UNITY amongst the pastors and marketplace ministers. Thank you Charlene. And thank You Pastor Randy for the wonderful job you did leading our community spiritually for the two years before Charlene took over.

2) Virginia-Liberia Alliance established (Apr 2008)
In my devotional on May 28, 2008 titled “A Day I’ll Never Forget“, I mentioned that “December 18, 2007 was a turning point, not only in my life and Sam Reeves’ life, but also for Culpeper, Virginia, and the nation of Liberia.” As a result of my offering to help Sam Reeves and Rim of Grace Ministries, I had the privilege to
a) Visit meet Ron Davidson and visit the Gleaning For The World headquarters in January 2008
b) Participate in Operation Rescue Liberia Day on Feb 23, 2008
c) Participate in Virginia-Liberia Alliance Day on Saturday April 19 at the Reformation Lutheran Church.
d) Visit the Liberian Embassy in Wash D.C. with a large contingency from Culpeper, including Rev’s Jacob and Charlene Phillips
e) Build a strong friendship with David Bean, who I would nominate as Culpeper’s citizen of the year.

3) Launch of City on a Hill Church by GW Dameron (June 2008)
 On April 17, 2008, Pastor GW Dameron contacted me out-of-the-blue to say he was moving with his family from San Diego CA to Culpeper VA in June 2008 to finish a work that had been started to make Culpeper a city set on a hill (for Jesus). In the short while GW has been in Culpeper, he has been responsible for a big upswing in the spiritual climate of our community To learn more, visit my blog titled “City on a Hill Church” (July 21, 2008) -

4) Launch of Transformation Virginia initiative (Aug 2008) – Culpeper’s fire spread because of Jack Stagman
Rick Heeren had told me on numerous occasions for more than a year that he wanted to come back to Culpeper to fan the flames he had started a few years earlier. I kept advising Rick to contact Jack Stagman and go to Northern Virginia first. Finally that happened.

On July 29, we held our first ever Transformation Virginia webinar. The blog (website) for Transformation Virginia was birthed. And Rick came to Northern Virginia, Fredericksburg, and Culpeper on August 17-19,2008. After spending 3 days shuttling Rick around, Jack caught the city transformation bug. In my opinion, Jack is currently playing the most significant role in the spiritual transformation of Virginia. He has already been responsible for lighting fires for prayer evangelism in more than 7 new communities in Virginia.

5) Death of Kelsey Orndorff (08-29-08)
Saturday August 30, 2008 was definitely the saddest day of the year for me when I learned that Pastor Randy Orndorff’s only daughter (Kelsey) died in a serious car accident the evening before on her way to a Chris Sligh concert in Fredericksburg. As President of the Culpeper Ministerial Association for 2 years, Pastor Randy had been offered tremendous support to our Pray Culpeper team. As I was driving to the first memorial service held for Kelsey on the night of Aug 30, the scripture that came to my mind was Psalm 116:15, “Precious in the sight of the LORD Is the death of His saints.”

During the memorial service, I learned from the testimonies of numerous people that Kelsey had manifested an UNCOMMON love for Jesus and for the destitute in this world, especially the homeless. Given that and Pastor Randy’s reputation as one of the most beloved pastors of our community, I knew that somehow, some way God was going to bring something great out of something so tragic. He always does. People at the Culpeper United Methodist Church, pastors in our community, and the community-at-large rallied behind Randy and LeAnne Orndorff. On November, Chris Sligh came to Culpeper High School to lead a concert in memory of Kelsey. About 800 people, mostly teens, showed up. I believe the new homeless ministry that the churches in Culpeper recently embraced is a direct result of Kelsey’s death.

6) Eastern View High School opened
Two years in the making, the much anticipated Eastern View High School finally opened. School spirit ran high from the get-go, as an estimated 5,000 people attended the Cyclones’ inaugural home football game, a friendly scrimmage against CCHS. Behind the electrifying legs of star tailback Stevie Strother, EVHS went on to finish 7-3, playing to large crowds most every Friday night. More importantly, the opening of EVHS provided a big boost in morale to our community. I believe the name of this school is very significant spiritually because Moses’ Tabernacle, Solomon’s temple, and Jewish synagogues all face to the East (i.e. have an eastern view). Mountain View Community Church, a large local church having a tremendous impact on the spiritual climate of Culpeper, is moving its Sunday worship services to EVHS starting January 2009.

7) Launch of community-wide Experiencing God initiative (09-07-08) – spearheaded by Rev. Mark Jenkins
This summer Mark Jenkins caught the Holy Spirit fire of revival and he wasted no time in spreading that to others in our community. Supported by more than 100 LIFE groups, numerous churches and businesses embraced the 7 week “Experiencing God” series prepared by Henry Blackaby. Thank You to Mark for lighting a fire that will not be quenched.

8) Churches launch homeless initiative in Culpeper (Nov 2008)
Jesus said that when we take care of the destitute (i.e. the poor, the hungry, widows, orphans, the sick, those in prison, etc), we are caring for Him. Thanks to the Culpeper Food Closet, the needs for many of the hungry were already being met. Thanks to the leading of Pastors Chad Whaley and Michael Gray, the Culpeper Ministerial Association embrace coming together to care for the urgent need of homeless people in Culpeper just in time as freezing temperatures came in late November. We are trusting God to engage many more churches and volunteers as needed to continue this vital ministry.

9) Culpeper Community Thanksgiving service (11-25-08) – UNITY
In the entire time I have lived in Culpeper, I have never witnessed such UNITY among such a diverse audience as at this year’s Culpeper Community Thanksgiving service. We thank Dr. John W. Kinney for his passionate message about rejoicing always. And we owe a special thanks to Rev. Charlene Phillips for the prayers and relationship building she did to make this possible.

10) Marching Through Culpeper convergences
Virginia Morton never ceases to amaze me with her persistence, ever-growing faith, and positive attitude. The weekly MTC prayer calls on Tuesday afternoons have been my favorite times of corporate prayer. In my June 4 devotional, I stated that “the Marching Through Culpeper movie project is by far the biggest God story I have ever been involved with from a marketing perspective on the web.”

On July 24, Virginia launched her very first email MTC marketing campaign and posted her first blog entry herself. As a result of that, Georgia Willis got reconnected to Virginia and then to me. Because of her love for Jesus and her involvement in key positions of leadership on a variety of higher education boards, I have dubbed Georgia “Virginia’s Princess of Education.” On December 18, Virginia emailed me an amazing list of 2008 convergences for MTC.

“So if the Son sets you FREE, you will be FREE INDEED. ~ John 8:36 NIV

Who do you know who is looking for great resources to be empowered?

Yesterday afternoon I had the privilege to speak for the first time to Karla Meachem, founder of “Empowering Christian Women.” In less than two months, Karla has had a major impact on my life and ministry. Because of Karla’s obvious love for Jesus, the Holy Spirit prompted me on several occasions recently to contact her to learn more about her dreams and goals and discover how I might be able to help her fulfill those.

Karla lives in small town (300 people) in Saskatchewan Canada (north of North Dakota). She was one of the first 30-50 people I connected to on Twitter. Her Twitter background (“Focus on Christ”) and tweets prompted me to check out the people she was following. That in turn led me to follow many of her contacts which led to lots of great connections. Of my 468 followers on Twitter, Karla is one of my favorite ones. Karla’s bold stand for Jesus encouraged me to be more bold in the Relationship Marketing (Web 2.0) arena.

After Karla and I got connected on Twitter, she began subscribing to Your Daily Blessing and inviting others to do so. I noticed she often clicked through hyperlinks I shared. As I saw her name pop up in my various reports, I prayed for her often. Clearly she has passion for others to come to know the love of Jesus.

Without me ever asking her to do so, Karla signed up for the JIREH Marketing Bronze Membership. She chose to sow a financial seed into God’s billion soul vision and become part of God’s Team Destiny. Since favor is proportional to God’s assignment, I believe Karla has stepped into a new place of great favor.

For several weeks (or perhaps longer), the Holy Spirit has been telling me over and over to start my own BlogTalkRadio show. While I wrote down to do that several times in my journal, somehow I kept allowing other things to distract me. While talking to Karla, the Holy Spirit told me to ask Karla for permission to interview her next week (Dec 2-4) on internet radio. She agreed. Thank You Jesus!

This morning I strongly sensed God wants Karla to be the very first person I interview on BlogTalkRadio. God is not only going to use Karla as a catalyst to help me launch a world-wide radio ministry, but for many others in my network and hers as well. Wow! It’s amazing what God can do through one person who is faithful to him.

Incidentally, Karla has plans to soon launch two new blogs, one to empower Christian men and another to empower Christian kids. If you want to connect to the shakers and movers on the web, Karla is definitely one of them. For my followers who are looking for resources to be empowered, I encourage you to subscribe to Karla’s awesome blog. For those who want to follow Karla on Twitter, her user name is karlameachem.

By the way, in tomorrow’s message for Thanksgiving Day, I’ll be sharing photos and highlights from yesterday’s Culpeper Community Thanksgiving Service. That was awesome. On Friday, November 28, the message will be “Where Are They?” – referring to the lack of authentic Christian blogs. That title comes from the latest blog post by Heather, one of Karla’s friends who is honoring Jesus in her struggle with brain cancer.

Prayer Power
Heavenly Father, thank You for Karla Meachem and her love for You. Thank You for the way you are using an ordinary mom to do extraordinary things through the power of prayer and the web. Thank You that Karla is moving to a new place of great favor with You and man. Grant her the desires of her heart. In any areas of her life where she is struggling, help her to break through. Thank You Jesus. Amen and hallelujah!

Blessings to be inspired and encouraged to live a VICTORIOUS LIFE in Christ!
