     What an amazing conference we had in M'boro with Jeff and Jan Janson, Joshua Mills, Munday Martin, Lucy Rael!!!  There were many signs, wonders, and miracles...thank you Jesus.  The power of Jesus Christ is still at it!!  I'm still baffled by some of the things that I saw.  Some I won't even mention on here!  I thought that only happened in third world countries!  I'm kidding, of course...but you know we have been subject to that mentality in the States.  "Those things don't happen here because we're spoiled by technology, or don't believe, or think that those things don't happen any more, etc, etc, etc."  But I think I might have an idea of why we don't see more of the signs, wonders, and miracles of God in churches today.  It's all wrapped up in a few comments that I've heard from Christians over the last few years.  People say, "well you shouldn't chase after the signs, wonders, and miracles" or "you shouldn't seek signs, wonders, miracles over the Giver of the signs, wonders, and miracles"...both statements being true...BUT because of some enemy sewn fear...we've decided to shelve these things so as to not get unbalanced...all along becoming grossly unbalanced!!  Think with me a moment...Jesus said in Mark 16...these signs shall FOLLOW them that believe!!!  He goes on to say about what we will do in His name.  Now even in the natural...in order to legally operate out of the power of someone's name...there must be a covenant or an agreement.  I.E. marriage or adoption.  I don't know about you...but I am in covenant with the King of kings!!!  I've been adopted as a son...and I'm also a the bride of Christ.  (that's hard for some to grasp)  That should have me covered on all ends of the spectrum.  That gives me the power to utilize His name in any situation!!!  Which means we don't chase after the signs and miracles...but because of our relationship with Him...they should be chasing after us...and if they are not we should be asking ourselves what the problem is.  There's no "PLAN B"!  The word is clear..."these signs WILL  follow them that BELIEVE"!  If You believe...they will FOLLOW!  Now in order to believe, there must be trust.  In order to trust, there must be RELATIONSHIP.  It's all wrapped up in one beautiful package.  We're giving up our chance to allow God to demonstrate himself through us to a society that desperatly is looking for something supernatural.  All in the name of nobility or humility...or one of those -ity words!  I'm convinced it's more on the lines of  STUPIDITY!   I'm here to tell you...IF WE BELIEVE...signs will follow!!  That is the word of God!  Let's pray today that we give God EVERY opportunity to demonstrate His love and power through us!  Creation is waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God!!!!  If that means we get covered with gold, or have oil in our hands, or have blind people see, deaf folks hear, and the dead raised...I say let's do it!!!  Let's stay close to the cross, looking steadfast into the beautiful face of Jesus...and from that perspective....bring HEAVEN TO EARTH!!!!!!  God bless you guys!  Thanks for your love and support of our ministry!  Our cd...Dawn of Zion's Glory...is now being listened to all over the world!  Thanks so much for your love and prayers.   Jeff
