The following is taken from "When Heaven Invades Earth" by Bill Johnson:
"In my own pursuit of God, I often became preoccupied with ME! It was easy to think that being constantly aware of my faults and weakness was humility. It's not! If I'm the main subject, talking incessantly about my weaknesses, I have entered into the most subtle form of pride. Repeated phrases such as, "I'm so unworthy," become a nauseating replacement for the declaration of the worthiness of God. By being sold on my own unrighteousness, the enemy has disengaged me from effective service. It's a perversion of true holiness when introspection causes my spiritual self-esteem to increase, but my effectiveness in demonstrating the power of the gospel to decrease. True brokenness causes complete dependency of God, moving us to radical obedience that releases the power of the gospel to the world around us"
Back to reality now!!! (this is me, not Bill Johnson) WAKE UP AND STOP BEING A BUNCH OF PANSIES!!! STOP CRITICIZING THOSE WHO ALREADY KNOW THEY ARE NOTHING WITHOUT CHRIST AND HAVE CHOSEN TO WALK IN HIS POWER BY LETTING GO OF THEIR WEAKNESS AND EMBRACING HIS SPIRIT!!! UNLESS YOUR HUMILITY IS PRODUCING THE WORKS OF CHRIST AND DEMONSTRATING THE KINGDOM, IT'S NOT HUMILITY!!!
The world doesn't need your weakness and so called humility, they need Christ and His Kingdom in you!!!
Think about it:)

56 Weeks of OUTPOURING/A New Dance is coming to the Bride of Christ
Dear Hope Center friends and Hampton Roads Revivalists,
56 Weeks of OUTPOURING and still going strong!!! This past week Sunday's and Tuesday's OUTPOURING Services were incredible!!! I cannot believe it. The Glory of God is settling in stronger ways. It was so intense it felt like the literal "Fire Shut in My Bones" that Jeremiah wrote about. I cannot believe what is transpiring. Everything that has been happening in the region has been from the overflow of other areas and moves. But what is happening right now is the result of a new well that has been dug and we are hitting our first pocket of gushing water!!! And it is GOOD!!!
The Lord spoke last night through prophesy that, "A new dance shall come forth from the feet and spirits of my children. BOOM, BOOM, BOOM! My children shall dance to the beat of my drum. BOOM, BOOM, BOOM! My children shall dance to a new beat of my drum. They shall dance to the sound of Heaven. They shall dance with great joy and freedom within my presence. They shall usher in my presence as they dance to the beat of my drum. Even as you are aware of how the wind blows by chimes you hang on your porches and windows, you will be aware in your spirits when my wind blows. You will hear the sound of my wind blowing and know that it is time to dance and as you dance my presence will flood in around you" -excerpt from Tuesday Night OUTPOURING Service prophesy.
All I can say is get ready for Sunday!!! Please bring everyone you can with you who is hungry and needs ministry!!! Heather and I can't wait to worship with all of you!!!
