Letters from Lilongwe

These last few days have been packed.  David Rhodes, a leader in the 3DM ministry open up some questions in my mind about Silence.  After a short talk we all broke out and spread around the hotel and waited for the Lords voice.  During this time I did not hear any voices or anything but I go lots of clarity about my Leadership roles, my stewardship of the gifts of the Father.  My main take away from that time is that I will and have been given responsibility and its not my event, organization, project, but rather is a gift that I have a responisbility to care for.  My words are not really coming together but my mind is thinking back to Baby Dedications in my Church when the parents are charged with a fact that these babies are not their children, they are Gods children and they simply have been blessed with time of earth to nurture.  During our half hour of silence I had a Will Reagan and United Pursuit Band song dominating my heart.

Greetings from Myrtle Beach!  My time down here has been amazing as I see Papa move in so many ways.  We have been learning a lot about what it means for the Kingdom to be at hand.  How we have God living inside us and what it means for the kingdom to come on earth as it is in heaven.  These thoughts have been making my mind spin but the Spirit of Truth has been revealing so much in such a short amount of time.  Please pray for my faith to be ever increasing, trusting the Lord to do crazy and amazing things through our team.

Starting day three down here on SDP is gonna involve an early morning workout, a great breakfast and a long time diving into the Word.   I am super pumped to be down here and see what th lord does through our team.  Last night was an amazing time just talking about how the God of the universe lives in us and how that mindset radicallt changes our evangelism.  We had a great time of prayer as we prayed over people for all types of healings and restorations.  One thing yall can be praying for is that our family group gets oue jobs at Nike.  We will be interviewing sometime in the next few days just pray that the Lord will lead the manager and our words.  It is amazing to see the power of the risen Christ at work in our team. Update: The run was great and we played a lot basketball so now I am worn out and its just 10.  Time to jump into the word and tune my heart, mind and soul to the Lord. All is great in the Lord Paul Shackelford

Praise the One who has saved me from death He is God, He is good, He is Jesus Praise the One who has saved me from death He is God, He is good, He is Jesus Yeshua I love You You are God, You are good, You are Jesus Tonight while sitting out on the porch listening to the rain I came to the realization that I did not love Christ.  I was thankful for his sacrifice because it made the way for me to have a relationship with my Creator and Father. But thankful is not the response or relationship I am to have with Christ.  I am suppose to and on my own will Love my Messiah for his sacrifice.  Death on the Cross is a though that has become dullen'd by my time in Church and around Christians during my life.  Dead on the Cross was the biggest act of Love that this world have ever seen and ever will see and how could I not love the person who Died for Me.   HOW COULD I NOT LOVE CHRIST!!   After doing some writing and reflecting on John 13:34-35 I just started listening
