monday


Yesterday evening, Melody Wallace and I led Kid's Church at NCC. The kid's were fairly bad, as usual. We got them to do paintings (#1, #2) and Spencer painted this goalie. We were having them get up and explain to everyone what their paintings meant but Spencer wouldn't do it, so I grabbed his painting and explained it. Here is my "Jesus Revealed in Spencer's Goalie":
The weird oversized greenish puck is actually a portal which leads directly into a third Heaven experience. The red goal posts symbolize the blood the Israelites painted on their doors at the first Passover, preventing the Angel of Death from killing their firstborns. The goalie pads represent sheilds which can block all the flaming arrows of the evil one. And you can see that he is clearly decked out in the full armor of God. (Ok, I know, it's a stretch...........but so is the real 'Jesus Revealed......' course!!).

Today for our 2nd Yr course "Practical Ministry 2" we went to Henley House for a day at a nursing home. It was pretty sweet. We got to sing at a church service. Fabio got to open in prayer , and Jenny Brown and I got to read scriptures from Luke for the seniors. Good stuff.

But it's almost time to go to bed. I get up at 4am, start work at 5:30am, school between 8am-12pm, them work till 5pm. After that is ministry, or relaxin time. Later everyone.

"I saw Jesus eating a snake"

Tonight NCC was having a communion service, so I chose to help out with Kid's Church downstairs with Peter & Julie. We had a time of asking God to give visions or impressions to the kids, and then we got some of them to share what picture (or whatever) God had given them. One little guy said, "I saw Jesus eating a snake." WHOAAAAA!!!! That's crazy!! Later we had the kids sit in groups of 2 or 3 and write skits for a puppet show performance. I sat with the same little boy and got him to dictate the fuller story behind the snake eating. He explained, I wrote. Here it is:

Jesus eating a snake
Jesus sat on a chair. And He flew a kite. And He got hungry. And He started getting a snake. The snake had been fighting someone. It was beating them up. Then Jesus ate the snake. Then Jesus said, "I will watch TreeHouse."

Pretty sweet stuff. I'm believing for a 'Visions Beyond The Veil' type of anointing to hit Kid's Church. Oh yeah!
