The Christian Yada Yada Girls

Day 1

I just have to let you in on a little get together we had the other night. A few of us decided to get together and have some fun and food while pastor was away. We had some wonderful food and we talked and shared for quite some time. I think everyone was encouraged and refreshed when they left even though everyone left the next day, if you know what I mean, I think we all felt that it was worth being a little tired that day at work or wherever.

Day 2

We all agreed that we feel that something good is about to happen around us and in us. This past Sunday, Pastor and I were gone, but there was a move of God and many have spoken this week of how they felt God was working in their lives. Remember the week prior was Prayer and Fasting Week. Many were there three times a day praying and asking for God to guide us and direct us.

Day 3

I have spent weeks on this same post. I write and think I will get back to it but don't. It is 3:25a.m. I have had too much caffeine and can't sleep for one but God is using this time to speak something to me. Wasn't it a wonderful day at First Assembly? Even if he is my husband, our pastor shared a great word with us and if you doubt it was from his heart, I will tell you that it was from his heart. We had a great crowd and as we drove over to Dermott yesterday, we talked about how we believe that we are about to see some awesome things in our churches!! We had a great service at Dermott yesterday. There was a word given from the Lord in the service at Dermott that I can't stop thinking about. We, the church, have been given the fresh oil and we need to spill or pour it out. I was pondering that and thinking about the oil in my kitchen. If I don't use it, it will began to have a bad odor and sometimes become a little sticky. It needs to be used in order for it to be fresh. If I use old oil, it makes the food taste different and can even upset your stomach. Think about that. We received from God Sunday, now who are you going to spill/pour it on?

I feel God saying this to me, if I send you new people, are you ready for them? I feel like He is going to give us several youth and I am asking, Pastor John and youth sponsors and youth, are you ready? I encourage all our young people to go out and invite as many of your peers as you can to the All State Choir Concert on July 11th. I believe this morning that God is telling me this. I believe He wants to use this tool to reach some youth in Monticello. This is what I was feeling. Get out your cell phones and spread the word. Tell all your friends to come and then tell them to tell all their friends to come. I am excited about what can happen. There will be at least 50 young people from the choir ready to pray and minister to your friends. What a kick off for school this fall. I have been hearing some things and I believe the key people are in place to make Monticello High School a very talked about school because of the move of God throughout the school.

I am about to write too much for one post because I want you to read it and if it is too long, you may give up. LOL I feel there is a battle going on and we have to press in and God is going to show up and show out if He sees that we are ready and that we really want it.

God cover you today, friends.
