Sunday December 13th 2009 was the first of our two Christmas outreaches. It was such an anointed day of lives being changed and people getting touched by the fire of God. I was ushering that day and it was awesome just to see the joy on the peoples face when you welcome them to the River and find a nice seat for them. Its awesome because I am on the front lines in the neighborhoods soul winning and telling people about the church. It just touches you to see the fruit of your labor. When you get to build a relationship with those people in the neighbor hoods that come to the church and you see them walk in the door it just touches your heart. Sunday there was just an awesome move of the spirit. This harvest is great, there were hundreds at the altar call there to give there lives to the Lord because we all know that the Bible says, that the gift of salvation is free, for whosoever who shall call upon the name of the Lord SHALL BE SAVED!!! ( SOULS ) This is what it’s all about souls. That is the only thing we can bring to heaven on our account. But every Sunday when I see the massive harvest that we have, it’s just a great blessing to me. This ministry has totally changed my life, and brought me out the world and into God’s FIRE!!! and now I am totally sold out for Christ. The main event is an awesome time to just press into the presence of God, and the River ministry is an amazing group of people without all the members of the church and the school we could not do this, but we have the most amazing group of sold out people in the River At Tampa Bay that make this ministry possible.

I can not be in a hurry and try to move out a head of God. I must actively use the time of preparation. Jesus was in preparation for 30 years for 3.5 years in the ministry. God was growing Jesus and fashioning Him for His earthly ministry. This encouraged me because I am still struggling with dying to my own self will and want and only doing what God wants me to do for my life. Knowing that preparation time is never wasted time has helped me to relax on my own ambitions and stop trying to accomplish things in the flesh and allow the Holy Spirit lead me to do what God has called me to do. In the Old Covenant, the four elements needed for the atonement of sins of the people were: the priest, the sacrifice, man and God. If any were missing or were not as they should be, God would not accept the sacrifice. If the priest had anything unholy in his life or if the sacrifice was imperfect, God would not approve of the atonement. What is amazing about the new covenant, is that Jesus was all four of the elements; He is our high priest, He is the sacrifice, He was a man, and He is God. There is nothing that can go wrong with the new covenant, because Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. And in the new covenant, our sins are remitted, not just covered. This brought a fuller knowledge of why the New Covenant is so much better than the Old Covenant, and what Jesus did on the cross for me. I must have an encounter with the Holy Ghost or I will stray from God. I must be continually pressing into God and reading the Word or I will get off track. Sometimes we have to walk through the fire or go through certain situations to destroy our enemies and not only to get the impurities out of me. The three Hebrews children went the fire to kill their enemies. The Israelites went through the Red Sea to drown the Egyptians. Those who are against me, will fail in their attempts to stop me as long as I am in the will of God for my life and am following His plans.

¹The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:

   ²Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.

   ³Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

   ⁴John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;

   ⁵And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

   ⁶And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

   ⁷Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

   ⁸I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

   ⁹I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

   ¹⁰I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,

   ¹¹Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

   ¹²And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;

   ¹³And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.

   ¹⁴His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

   ¹⁵And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

   ¹⁶And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

   ¹⁷And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:

   ¹⁸I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

   ¹⁹Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;

   ²⁰The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.
