Kingdom Partners Global
Work with Kingdom Partners continues on a solid pace; there is always something going on. In October I was involved in two weekend prayer retreats. The first one was our annual Allies prayer retreat for youth pastors, which I lead. This year we expanded the invitation to include not only youth pastors but also key youth sponsors from various churches to increase our understanding of what is going on with the students. Our time away was awesome as we prayed, worshiped, and heard from God (more on “hearing from God on the next page) as to plans for refocusing our efforts to work together to reach students. The Lord spoke very clearly and we returned with a unified plan to work out the next few years.

The second prayer retreat was for a local church’s worship team; I am invited each year to hear from the Lord and to pray over people. I love being a part of these retreats and seeing God move in Power! (Heard several things from the Lord and participated with the Lord as two people were healed!) It is crazy how the healing gift works sometimes.We were in the middle of worship and suddenly I had a pretty good headache that came out of nowhere. So I asked, “Does anyone have a headache? I believe the Lord wants to heal you from it.” A young lady stepped forward, and I prayer for her and her headache was gone, praise Jesus! As soon as that happened, my ear started buzzing and humming and driving me crazy, so I said, “I believe that God wants to heal someone's ear. If that's you, come up here and let me pray for you.” No one came forward so we moved into another worship song which I could barely sing because my ear was so bothersome. After that song, I said, “I really believe God wants to heal someone’s ear so if that’s you, please come forward, if not for your sake then for mine.” After quite some time a guy came forward and said that he had been having problems for over a year and had been to the doctor several times with no success. So I prayed for him and God healed his ears. Whoo Hoo! Praise Jesus for His Goodness and Power!
It is very exciting to be used by God in healing and other supernatural gifts, and I have to constantly remind myself that it’s God working and not anything that comes from me. Ten years ago I would have been a bit skeptical that God still moves in these ways, and probably not humble enough to handle it. The scripture tells us He is the same Yesterday, Today, and Forevermore. He holds the Power to speak life into existence with just a Word, He can surely speak to us today and use us to bring healing to the brokenness in our world!
Hearing From GOD:
I’m still learning these amazing things, so I am by no means an expert, but I am so excited about it all that I want to try to explain them to you, at the risk of sounding foolish or crazy! God may at times speak audibly to people, though He has not chosen to speak to me or Tammy that way (yet?). We usually hear Him in our heads in our own voices, but it is CLEARLY God as often it is not something we would have known or thought of, or it is completely out of character for us. For instance, God has often given us specific words for people whom we do not even know or do not know very well, and once we tell them that we feel God has a message for them, and share it with them, they ask, “How did you know that?!” I’m not gonna lie, it is scary to step out in faith and tell someone you do not know that you feel God telling you that He wants them to let go of the bitterness that has rooted in their heart and forgive.

That has happened in different ways with different people and different messages for the past year or so and others have spoken over us in the same manner and left us with no doubt that it is God! Tammy lost two of her sisters and her Mom between 2010 and 2012. At a Naturally Supernatural conference, someone who did not know anything about Tammy said, “There is someone here who has lost 3 very special people in her life several years ago and thought she was through grieving, but God wants you to know that He is here and we want to pray for you.” Tammy immediately began looking around the room to see who else had experienced such great loss because she wanted to go hold and pray with that woman. However, she looked at me and I told her it was her...she said, “No, it’s not!” Then she began weeping uncontrollably and many people prayed over her and she felt release from the heavy burden of grief. (Grief is an ongoing process that she is not finished with, but is no longer ignoring it or stuffing it).
God also speaks through The Bible which is Alive and Active and Sharper than a double-edged sword...He often speaks to us through other people. There is no end to the ways that God can and will speak to us if we are ready to listen and step out in faith and obedience. It is exhilarating, scary, humbling, amazing, freaky, and wonderful all at once! Every time it happens, our minds are blown! When God speaks to us, we always weigh it in our minds and against scripture to be sure it does not go against anything God has already spoken in His Word. Obviously, if you hear a voice in your head telling you to rob a bank, it is NOT from God!
Can we be wrong in what we think we are hearing? Absolutely, but we won’t know unless we step out in faith! As our good friend, Mike Pilavachi, says, “If you get it wrong, nobody dies.” The more we use these “muscles,” the stronger they get. Does God choose to heal everyone we pray for? No! Yet we won’t know if we don’t pray! Does any of this sound NORMAL? NO! But neither does Daniel surviving the den of lions or Jonah spending 3 days in the belly of a big fish, or Jesus taking our place on the cross... If you’d like to contact me to talk more fully about all of this, please do! I love talking about what God is doing!

One Voice:
One again The Tabernacle (a predominantly white church) and Acts Church (a predominantly African American church) came together for a joint Sunday service on November 25th, the third time in a year. It is increasing more exciting as each one of these unity events helps to draw churches, people, and a city together. I am proud to say that I continue to play a small part in this process of unity and will continue to push the unity agenda as I believe it is His heart.
Galatians 3:28 (NLT), says:
28 There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.

Family Update:
Kaylee Patricia Johnson born December 3rd, 2018
On the family front, life continues to change. In fact, sometimes it seems to be rolling out of control! On Dec. 3rd, we were blessed with our very first granddaughter. Our daughter Kellie gave birth to Kaylee Patricia Johnson. A beautiful baby, 7 lbs. 14 oz. 20 inches long. Camden (born to Jess/Zach...Jess is our unofficially adopted daughter) is a year old and beginning to make words, so now we need grandparent names. I was totally unaware of all of the things we have to do to be Grandparents! Tammy is going with “Mimi,” which she has wanted to do for a very long time. I figured I’d go with “Papa,” since that is what our kids called my Dad until they could say Grandpa. But after much consideration, I’m going with a name that Kellie suggested. Are you ready to have your mind blown? Put your nerd hat on. Wait for it.......Grandalf! I Love it. Yes, I know that it will take awhile for Camden and Kaylee to get it down, but my Grandpa coolness factor is going through the roof. Booyah! David, Kellie and Kaylee are all doing well and setting in at home. The only problem is keep Mimi at home and away from the baby.
