Talk about temperature change - last Monday was 95F, this week about60F. However, we have been assured that it will get a lot hotter !
Yesterday we went up to Mount Shasta and drove up to 7000 ft then got out and walked in the snow (it also snowed gently on us); before that we had stopped off at Castle Crags and walked for about 3 hours in an amazing landscape, ascending about 2000ft. Following our walk we were hungry (to say the least) so we went to the Black Bear Grill and had a very sufficient meal which we thoroughly enjoyed. In the evening we drove back to Redding and stopped off at Applebees for a dessert. God is good to us! We had a great day off together. One thing that amused us was seeing bullet holes in road signs which have been used for target practice - could make for interesting driving !
Today we spent time with God this morning; both of us are enjoying the time to rest in God's presence, and also to read more. Kim is now enjoying the book about Azusa Street as well. Then we took ourselves off to Bethel where we went into 2nd year of the school; they were starting their afternoon with testimonies some of which were amazing - one young man told of a recent trip to Tijuana in Mexico where they prayed for a Pastor who was at death's door from cancer; they started to pray for him and he started to improve, they left him in the presence of God and then he was totally healed, got up and got dressed. Another guy told about his parents who want to start the first year of the School of Supernatural Ministry but are having financial difficulties at present - recently they had a meal with a man who has invented some new system of solar panels who gave them $120,000. Then another testimony of a young man going home for Easter and being asked to speak at his home church - God told him to scrap his sermon and prophesy and pray, with the result of 20 people healed and 5 became Christians.
After this we went and saw an excellent dance and drama production by the students - great fun. Then we sat in on some teaching by Danny Silk and this evening we had a meal with Danny and Sheri.
A great couple of days.

ReplyDeleteHi Pete and Kim,
ReplyDeleteIt all sounds amazing what you are experiencing! Keep those testimonies flowing. We're taking a 3 month sabbatical later this year and during this time I plan to visit Bethel Church - I felt God tell me last year when I left politics to devote more time to the church that he wanted me to "drink from 3 streams" and one of them was from Bill Johnson's ministry. So I'm in the USA from Sept 11 (flying in to San Francisco from Sydney Australia) for just over two weeks and would like to spend a week or at least a long weekend at Bethel. Can you give me some advice/help please on where I should stay and what's best to plan to fit in. We have just started a Treasure Hunting ministry in Guernsey which is going great - really encouraging people in the word of knowledge and the prophetic. You can email me at jon@letocq.co.uk
Love to you both. Be graced!
Jon
