If you have ever been to a “dirt track race”….
They “wet it down”  to keep the dirt from stirring…
After a break today…with about 40 – 50 men…
attending the Mens Seminar ( they call it that )

Praise and Worship began from THEM……
Kids walked in from the dirt road, to the dirt floor…and the “DIRT WAS STIRRED ”
Have you ever been engaged in a truly God
“STIRRED” worship where the DUST FLIES ?  smile….

I brought the teaching on the Covenant of Marriage…
That Michael from TFC – had a book on…..
It was so intense that I developed a whatever to
go through with couples who are going to get Married.
I just threw it in my notebook…
The Holy Spirit told me to “get it out ”

I can not tell you….how GOD…GOD….GOD…..
GOD….KNEW.  ( thanx for praying !)
Elderly man :   Shaking my  hand….
“Many men want to walk around in their marraige here…
Not many want to sit in this……. thank you for the teaching
I have to leave now ( about dark )
I walked from a far.”

One walking me back to the house:
“On my side…..this spoke to me…
My family does not like my wife….
I have found today, that I was born into my family..
but I have a covenant with my wife,  I wish
she could hear this ”     ( I told him she will next wk. )
AMEN !

Fed them all, and went back in for  Q + A time….
One after the other for 2 hrs. …….done at 10:30
–  We hear of America, they set a number of yrs. to be married.
–  All the divorce questions you could think of.
–  if you are only married a week, can you get away from the
covenant and get a new marriage, was it still a covenant ?
– A lot of questions with USA – Europe….
–  Materialism –  God showed me a verse just the other day…
” why we were placed where we are….so that we may SEEK
the LORD ”    how we do, fight materialism…..and have to
fight through it to keep our hearts pure to the Lord…
Africa – fights poverty..and they have to fight through it
to seek the Lord…..  ” a true heart after God ”
It is not what we “have or don’t have ” it is ….
Who we have …and is He Lord of all ?
–  why did God ask us not to eat off the one tree ?  84 yr. old man.
–  If I am a Pastor and not married can I still marry people
–  women in Africa wear pants because it is cold,
why do women in America wear pants ?
( I asked him why he wore a shirt )  we laughed…

It was just something, the bonding, the OPENNESS…..

I asked them if they enjoyed hiding their emotions and being
so ________________ non expressive ….about every
thing :   ” if we have to hide something ( emotions)  …that means
you are pushing something down…and we do not enjoy that ”

and so the day is over.

Continued prayers for Jamie, Jonathan + Kirsten …….
