Many people have used or heard of the term full gospel. So what does it mean to be full full gospel. The Apostle Paul actually gave us a great definition in the book of Romans.
Romans 15:18 I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles to obey God by what I have said and done— the power of signs and miracles, through the power of the Spirit. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.
Paul's definition of "fully" preaching the gospel was not just the preaching of the Word but with a demonstration of "signs and miracles through the power of the Spirit."
Let us "fully" proclaim the gospel of Christ to a world that needs a Saviour!!

R&R: Last week Joie and I were blessed to travel up to Nemacolin Woodlands for a couple days just to get some R&R. What a beautiful place! The rooms were great along with the campus there was so much to see and do. They had everything from antique cars to a Hummer obstacle course to a on site zoo and much more(almost sounds like a commercial) Anyway we had a great time together and was good to have to us time. It was weird not having the kids but we had a blast together. So good to just be with my girl!
Conference: After getting back from Nemacolin I went right out to a conference in Mechanicsburg with my close friend Kurt Jenkins. "Voice of the Apostles" conference was packed with incredible speakers such as Bill Johnson, Che Ahn, Randy Clark, Heidi Baker and others. It was a powerful time together as we were ministered to and saw others healed of various infirmities. The testimonies of what God is doing around the earth were incredible to hear. God is doing some amazing things!
One of the things that I thought about that week was a statement I've heard before referring to David and his mighty men was, "giant killers produce giant killers" I believe in the power of impartation and partnering with ministers that have a strong Biblical foundation and are seeing a fullness of the kingdom in their churches and ministries. What a great week!

This past week we as a family celebrated Sukkot at a family that attends our church, the Mancusos. They acutally built a Sukkah! It was a great night together. Today is the last day of the feast of Tabernacles. Today is a day of rest, it is the eighth day of the festival. Below I found this great insight into John Chapter 4 from Worthy Devotions.
During the Feast of Sukkot, the Jewish people took part in a water drawing ceremony on the last day of the feast. They would go down to the Pool of Siloam, draw water and bring it to the Temple Mount. Then they would pour out the water and recite Isaiah 12, "and with joy you shall draw water out of the wells of salvation." In Hebrew, the word salvation and Yeshua (Jesus, in Hebrew), are the same.
Imagine the scene at the time of Messiah's appearance. It is likely that in the midst of this ceremony, He stood and proclaimed, "If anyone is thirsty, let Him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me as the Scripture said, "from His innermost being shall flow rivers of living water."
This promise is true for us today. Our Messiah is the same yesterday, today and forever. He did not promise a sprinkling or a tiny stream. He promised rivers of living water. Claim this promise today -- claim the fullness of life in Him. Draw from Him the peace that passes all understanding. Draw from Him pure love -- agape love. Draw from Him the joy that makes the trees clap. Draw all that you need, but in order to draw from Him -- you must go to Him. One cannot draw water from a well unless one goes to the well. Go to the well that never runs dry -- go to your well of Yeshua!

What a great week it has been to see my brother Adam and his wife Julie home from Texas. My brother Aaron was still in Texas and due to the hurricane had to evacuate, he just flew in this morning. It's been a while since we have all been together as a family, but tonight we'll all be together. My oldest brother Johnny still lives in the area and will actually be ministering at NLR next Sunday in worship.
We have been playing some Wii and i suffered a minor bicep injury. Never thought I'd say that, haha. Good times!
