Scripture of the Week Isaiah 49:15-16 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion
on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. 16 Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my
hands; thy walls are continually before me.
This is the first time I’ve gotten to write you since
the Youth Advance, and I’m as blessed as can be to
call this page PRAISE REPORT! Because that’s what
I feel like doing — praising God for the wonderful
things He’s done. He has always done
mighty and wonderful works, always
been faithful to take care of us, always
been willing to teach us and show us things as we
seek Him and His kingdom. But now we have even more
to praise Him for, because now there’s another group
of Christians who have been TAUGHT and SHOWN the power
and authority they have in the name of Jesus Christ,
and they have already put it to WORK! So first, I
praise God for the deliverance that so many campers
received this year. I praise God for giving us the
Bible. I praise God for leaders, young and old, who
teach both Christians and those who have never heard.
I praise God for YOU, and the things that you’re doing
right now for God. Here are a few stories from this
year’s campers I think will bless and inspire you.
Our God is an awesome God!
‘Blessed
are You, Lord God of
Israel,
Our Father, forever and ever.
Yours, 0 Lord, is the greatness.
The power and the glory.
The victory and the majesty
For all that is in heaven and in
earth is Yours;
Yours is the kingdom. 0 Lord,
And You are exalted as head over
all.
Both riches and honor come from
You.
And You reign over all.
In Your hand is power and might;
In Your hand it is to make great
And to give strength to all.
Now therefore, our God,
We thank You
And praise Your glorious name!”

...The manifestations are great and I
have put them to use ever since the advance.
Toward the end of Kevin’s teaching on
Sunday I had to leave and start my long
journey home. I was on vacation and saw
my uncomfortable grandfather infected
with osteoporosis. I told him that I was
just as powerful as Jesus Christ and I
could heal him with our combined believing.
After hearing this he couldn't say no.
So I started to listen to that still small
voice and I made him stand up and I put
one hand on his back and I put one hand
on his arm and I prayed for him in the
name of Jesus Christ. When I was done
my grandfather had this look on his face
of amazement. He said, “Michael you have
some power. I feel better.” That next
day we were both on the courts playing
tennis, and all his friends had noticed
that my grandfather looked and acted 100%
better.

For
those of you who missed the Youth Advance this year,
I lovingly encourage you to learn about the 9 manifestations
of the holy spirit. If God’s gift is inside you,
you can speak in tongues, which
builds you up as you pray perfectly. You can interpret
tongues and prophesy,
which builds up the church. You can receive a word
of wisdom, or word of knowledge
from God. You can discern spirits,
and deal with them. You can have extraordinary faith
to work miracles and give
gifts of healing. It’s a complete
spiritual toolbox for building the church and fixing
stuff along the way. And it works. So MANIFEST!
How is God working in your life? I want to hear
your praise reports, too!
Continue to build up the church. You’re His best!
