Like David Did

Wow! It’s been like three months since the last post - but they’ve been very fruitful months (we could chalk it up to “stop blogging about it, and just do it”). [More…]

What is the significance of “the spirit and power of Elijah”, and why do many present-day believers feel like it will be released again?  Wasn’t John the Baptist the fulfillment of this prophecy found in Malachi 4?  The angel that visited Zacharias (John’s dad) even quote that exact passage.” [More…]

Every week, we try to rally people in our region together to pray and worship - and we always encourage them to try to “pray the Word”, instead of just praying completely out of their own brain!  You wouldn’t believe on how many levels it helps to know that when someone is praying it is directly from the Bible, and hopefully very near to the original context. [More…]

In a world full of self-help and performance-driven evaluations it can be difficult for a believer to really embrace that they need other people - it is a requirement; it is the Church… it’s the way “a body” is suppose to work. [More…]

How many of you remembering hearing the word, and many phrases including the word, “Deeper” A LOT starting about 10 years ago? It was prayed; it was sung; it was cried-out… well, I think the Lord is about to answer that request, but it isn’t going to look (or feel) like people thought it would. [More…]

The last few weeks the Lord has been speaking a very similar word and stirring up a very similar sentiment in believers throughout the river valley - calamity & judgement are planned, but the Lord is delaying;  He is asking, “Is there anyone who will stand in the gap for their land?” (Ezekiel 22)  Join us this Saturday, June 8th at Crossroads Church in Alma from 6pm to 9pm as believers from all over the region gather together, in one accord, to exalt the Lord and pray His Scriptures and His prayers. [More…]

Here is the latest Pray River Valley schedule, but first, pardon me while I put a bunch of relevant words in a rambling, somewhat grammatical context so that people from all over the Fort Smith River Valley region, including Alma - Van Buren - Ft Smith - Greenwood - Cedarville - Charleston - Booneville - Lavaca - etc - who have been looking for this website and for various prayer, worship, fasting, gathering, intercession, intercessory worship, solemn assembly, and harp and bowl type meetings will have a better chance of finding us on Google and other search engines…  There, I think I’m done. [More…]

Wow! It’s been over a month since a post - that’s unusual… but the Lord has been doing so much in the Fort Smith River Valley these last several weeks: 3 Great “Pray River Valley” gatherings, a really awesome “The Burn - Fort Smith”, several National Day of Prayer meetings, and a great weekend with our friends Doug & Rita Roberts. [More…]

So maybe everyone else in the world has made this connection, but today during my lunch-time intercessory worship set, I was singing and praying out of Song of Songs chapter 5 and the Lord opened up something to me in His Word:  the closer we get to Him, and the more set-apart we become, the more He will call us back out into the world to share with others about Him… granted, I already suspected this and even encouraged it, but –BAM– it’s different when the Lord gives it to You rhema-style. [More…]

Hello, Family!
I pray that you and your family were rocked by the realities of this past Holy Week… the Lord drew me back into Isaiah 53 for about 3 weeks leading up to Easter, and would hardly let me sing or think about anything else in my personal devotion times – What a paradox-paradigm in which we have to live and breath and find our being: that He was ‘a man of sorrow and familiar with sufferings’, and was also ‘anointed with the oil of gladness more than his companions’…. [More…]
