Women's Retreat

We just spent the whole weekend at Callaway Gardens for the WellSpring Fellowship Women's Retreat. It was an awesome time. We flew in Beni Johnson and Judy Franklin from Redding, Ca. Joanna led worship, she did and amazing job. I played guitar for her, and Mike ran the sound board. There were 220 women that came. I believe just about every one left having had an amazing encounter with the Lord.
I think the most amazing thing that happened was on Saturday night when a women found a jewel in her hand after soaking. She opened her eyes and there in her hand was a red gem. It is totally amazing that God would do that. It was her birthday and God gave her probably the best present she will ever get. Well, on Sunday she came up to show it to everybody and had another gem that she said she had gotten sometime that morning.
We have a picture of both of them here:


By the end of the Sunday service people were finding gems all over the right side of the conference room. Here is a picture of some of them:


It was awesome. You know I think Jesus just likes for us to know that the Kingdom is among us. And that we have access to what is there. I believe that things like gems, and gold dust, and diamond dust, and feathers appearing are all signs that heaven is invading earth. It is why Jesus said your Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven. What is up there shows up down here when we pursue His Kingdom.
