What to do in case of a ministerial emergency.

"...this is what I did, I said: HELP, HELP, HELP!!',
during worship, it was loud... nobody noticed
...I was desperate...and guess what God did?:
he helped me." Heidi Baker
What do you do when you are leading the worship in a prayer meeting with 14 people, 4 Pastors and a worship leader, and there is absolutely no presence?, your singing is horrible, you even forgot how the songs play, your playing stinks, is a total dry disaster, you think to yourself: "I should have practiced more, I should have prayed before I came to the
prayer meeting"(!?), I usually do.
In retrospective this is what should have been done,
and what was done:
During practice I really felt that I should play a single song, or at least start with this one "Let it Rain".




So as I painfully navigated through Jason Upton and Rita Springer's music, I became very aware that nothing was going on (and that's an understatement), remember that dream were you are naked in a room full of people?, well at least then you could run and get dressed.
What was done, and should have been done since the beginning was this: I started crying asking God to show up (me begging, literally crying): "please show up, I need you, I've made a mess, I need you!" and started to play "Let it rain", then it hit, like a wave, yes God saved the day...again, he came as a fire, people were baptized, curses were broken, His word was prophesied and prayers arose with power...it was great.
The moral of the story if you have one song to sing, by all means stick to it, and don't be ashamed to cry out to God for help in front of whoever might be, that in your weakness
He may be Glorified. Thank you Father.

how to make worship flags

Image
I have been making flags for worship for several years and I decided to write about how to make flags for worship. The simplest way to make a flag for worship. You will need: Fabric (preferably light and airy) any length Scissors Wooden rod ¾” in diameter (I have found out is the best size) Hot glue Sewing machine with thread matching the color of your fabric Sharpie or permanent marker (optional) Cut the flag to the desired size and sew around the edges, making sure that you pass through the corners several times so they don’t unravel. Sew a “pocket” on one edge about 1 1/2” wide; fold one of the edges of you flag and sew it to make a pocket, by making sure that you close one of the top ends also. Insert the rod in the pocket; glue the end with enough hot glue so the flag doesn't go anywhere. You are done! I like to use the “pocket” method of attachment because in case the rod breaks is a lot easier to unglue a little portion of the fabric than the whole thing, plus some fabrics

QR: the mark of the beast?

Image
For the longest time I had wondered if the mark of the beast was the VeriChip , but today I came to realize that I had been wrong. The QR (Quick Response) code is the most likely candidate, why I say this?: Because is cheap, just the cost of the tattoo ($40-60), versus the VeriChip (which can cost ten times as much). Any tattoo artist in any country can insert it without any special training. Is easy to use, no special equipment to use to scan it, just an iPhon3 and a free App and you are in business. It's easily visible, so you can keep a check of whom is in the system versus whom is not. It's scriptural: He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark * on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark* or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Revelation 13: 17-18 *From the Greek charagma: a stamp, an imprinted mark Also, this generation loves tattoos: Thirty-s
