Eagles for Dragons...

2008-07-23T12:13:27-05:00

After much prayer, thought and talking we have felt it time to exchange Eagles for Dragons. In other words we are moving back to Wales.

We always knew that St Louis was just a pit stop.

We intially thought that we would move somewhere else in the States but we feel that God has accomplished what purpose He had in bringing us here.

We are very excited about moving 'home'.

Bethany has to honour her contract with the schools and so we will be here until next June (when she finishes teaching).

I am telling you this now because after over 3 years of blogging I am hanging up my boots and calling it a day. We are excited about the new season that God is taking us into and so we are pouring our energies into new things.

Thanks for all the comments and e-mails. I will keep this blog alive for a few months longer but this is my last post.

Humbly,

Joe...

The Hand of Fellowship...

2008-07-13T17:47:33-05:00

I just wanted to add a link to a very important and historical event in both modern church history and in the life of one man. I am talking about Todd Bentley being recognised as an Apostle.

I watched this on God TV and was moved to tears.

After hearing him talking about his 'Dark Night of the Soul' experience it was moving to see God honour this man of God by other Apostles.

If you would like to watch his testimony on the Dark night of the Soul then follow the link and scroll to June 22nd and then fast forward to when you see Todd speaking.

Golf...

2008-07-08T09:05:21-05:00

Yesterday I had my first ever taste of Golf. I was invited by two friends to go and play and we had a great time. The closest I have ever come to golf before was Pitch'n'Pwt at Fontygarry, or running across Pontmorlais when I was a kid and stealing balls from the golfers.

It took us 5 hours to play 18 holes, and we had the use of a cart. Dang.

I think the thing that slowed us down was the fact that I hit the ground more than the ball, my wrist is killing today. And also the heat was immense 98'f (37'c). Blinkin' Boiling is what we call that in Wales.

Needless to say that I am as red as a lobster. I am not good at sports but I enjoyed that.

Angels & Anchormen

This is Roy Fields and for those of you who have been following the Lakeland Healing Outpouring then you will know that he has been leading one of the worship teams down there.

When we went there for the first time they sang this song that just broke my heart, in a good way. It is called "In the presence of angels" and it is just such a simple song but it seems to have captured something about the heart of pure worship, and also what I have understood is one of the main things that God is doing there in Lakeland, which is a revelation of our mighty King Jesus. You just want to sing Holy Holy with the Angels. I find myself singing the 'Holy' refrain everyday.

For the worship team people out there the chords are simple - Am Em G D - thats all. EASY!! So I have added the studio version so that you can pick up the lyrics. Even if you use it for your personal time of worship or if you have soaking meetings then it is a sweet song to play in the background.

- In The Presence of Angels -

There are a couple of CDs available of the songs from the outpouring and you will be able to order them shortly from Roy Fields web page - www.runwithfire.com -

Worth checking out. There is also a link at the web page 'For Musicians' where you can download the resources for worship teams.

Anyway, I have also added a link of this song being sung in the revival. WOW, Roy said that he was worshipping one day and while in the presence of God saw this vision of Heaven and out of that came this song.

- In The Presence of Angels LIVE -

This song is just one example of what can be birthed in the presence of God.

Its all about Jesus:

Great Times...

As you can see this is not Treco Bay Porthcawl. Hee hee.

This is Honeymoon Island. So beautiful. We had fun swimming in the sea and then the Dolphins turned up jumping and swimming just off shore. Sweet!!

The Revival IS OFF THE CHAIN. There is something so different from the last time that we visited.

Bethany has received a powerful healing that I will write about soon just to give you the juicy details. Heres just a taste - When she went to see her Doctor he said 'WOW!!! whatever you're doing keep on doing it!".

Heres Bethany enjoying her healing looking out at the Gulf of Mexico.

Tomorrow we leave early to drive up to see Ben & Debbie.

I can over hear Bethany telling her mother on the phone that she has 'Gold Dust' on her face. Last night Bethany was covered in Gold Dust on her hands, face and arms. I had some on my hands. Today, while travelling to the beach we stopped to get some food and I was in the car with the kids listening to the CD of the worship songs from the revival. When I looked back at the kids they were there with their hands in the air singing 'Holy', at first I laughed as they were there doing it unprovoked by me, hee hee, then I looked closer and they had Gold Dust on their face and arms. GLORY!!!

I have never experienced this before. Both my kids, 3 years and 2 years old covered in Gold Dust. WOOHOO!!!
