The Corrigan Revival

Continues...

Pastor Phil's

Revival Journal

Pastor Phil's Bio

  HOME :
 
 

At the beginning of revival, I began to keep a journal of things about each day or service that really stood out to me.  The pace of revival began to increase and I could not do all the things that I once did.  I have made a determination to begin again to record these insights and thoughts, first for my personal recollection but also, for others who are as hungry for God as I am but also for those who have yet to attend or may have missed a service.  I begin this journal today, Sunday, July 31 which is the 9th full month of revival in Corrigan.

Many of these thoughts or insights may have little value to anyone other than myself but I will share them with you and you can glean whatever you can. There is so much more to revival than even I hear, much less record.  I am having the time of my life as I enjoy a season that few people will ever have the chance to live.  I will be very open and transparent and for a pastor, that is not ever easy.  I will speak of things that absolutely are amazing to me and I realize that  some people will not understand but I will share them anyway.

The Church here in Corrigan is absolutely the greatest.  Our motto here is "Let's show Corrigan a church like they have never seen.  A Church where people really can get along and love each other.  A Church that loves it's shepherd and the shepherd really does love the sheep".  Little did we know that God would open a field up much bigger to us than our town of 1,700 people.

 

Saturday, October 30, 2004  (the night before revival came started)

Tonight, we were so excited and pumped about services tomorrow that a bunch of us gathered at the church for a prayer vigil and to be at church as the clocked ticked past midnight.  We all said "Welcome Holy Spirit" and then we all went home.   This is the craziest group of people I have ever seen.  Hungry for God.

Sunday, October 31, 2004  (the day revival started)

Today is the 100 year birthday of the Welsh Revival.  Wow!  We did not realize that the revival that we had prepared for for years would begin.  We on this historic day.  Looking back, we had been so close so many times in revival services that we were afraid that this might be like the other times.  This day though, all of our traveling, praying, digging wells, sacrifice and being labeled "crazy" paid off.    The services took off with a force like we had never experienced.  We realized that there was no looking back.

Friday, November 5, 2004

This is the first time ever in the Church we had a full house and we had an overflow crowd.  We had a local Baptist minister baptized in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues.  People came from everywhere and we begain to get  emails from people telling us to "go for it" and we did and did not look back.

Tuesday, November 9, 2004

A man drove 2 hours to get here only to find out we did not have services on Tuesday nights. A lady called from Florida, per Charles and Francis Hunter's Ministry for prayer because they heard what was going on.

Friday, November 12, 2004

Jody was out tonight so we had new friends for Kinder, LA preach,  While he was ministering to others, a deaf ear of his of 19 years was healed.

Wednesday, November 17, 2006

We recieved 8 inches of rain in a 4 hour period right at church time.  A guest coming from out of town completely submerged her car in the ditch in front of the church and everyone with her had to crawl out the window to escape.

Thursday, November 18, 2004

A deaf man recieved hearing. A critic from out of town had a change of heart.

Thursday, December 2, 2004

A crippled man from Houston who was an attorney was healed and got out of his wheelchair and walked.  His back was twisted in a terrible way and we watched as his back straightened out like a 2 x 4.  A baby was healed dramatically of asthma.

Friday, December 3, 2004

We had our first dental miracles take place tonight to three different people.  One of them was a reporter doing an article on the revival.  She later wrote a very nice article that appeared in 7 area newspapers.

Tuesday, December 7, 2006

I was talking to what I thought was a pastor friend of mine.  I mentioned revival and he just rolled his eyes at me.  You expect criticism out of sinners but never out of my own A/G brothers.  It doesn't surprise me because most of Jesus' criticism came from the religious ones anyway.

Sunday, July 31, 2005

Tonight was incredible.  This completed our 9th full month of revival.  Several hundred people gathered at the Corrigan High School Auditorium for this service.  No one was disappointed.  For the week, 75 people were saved and this night, we saw around 40 people baptized in the Holy Spirit.  I saw a young man healed and Bro. Roger's gift operate in a way that was beyond belief.  The miracle includes produced medical

x-rays that showed complete healing. 

Wednesday, August 3, 2005

This service was orchestrated by the Holy Spirit to encourage the congregation here to continue to pursue His presence.  Those who serve night in and night out of revival were the ones who recieved great reward.

Thursday, August 4, 2005

Tonight was photograph night.  (To the skeptics let me say, you do not know the awesome power of God or the giftings to discount this night)   The church was full by 6:30 pm.  There were many people in the overflow. 

As the gift operated, many miracles happened.  Two in particular stand out to me, (there is no way I can know every testimony but here are two)  A lady had not heard from her son for a long period of time and she had no idea where he was.  As Bro. Rogers ministered to her, he said that her son was in Louisiana and that she would hear from him soon.  Before she arrived home, a message was left on her answer machine from her son and that he was fine and in Ruston, LA.

The second wonder was a lady drove from Kansas who did not believe in none of this, but she came anyway to check it out and prove Bro. Rogers wrong.  She thought she would throw Bro. Rogers a curve and brought a photograph of 3 people but only one needed prayer.  She knew that as he "guessed" which one needed prayer, if he guessed the right one, surely, he would not know what the situation was.  Over two hundred people here, Bro. Rogers went straight to her, immediately took her picture, identified the one in need of prayer and then revealed the "secrets of the heart".  This made a believer out of the woman.  The next night, she recieved the baptism in the Holy Ghost.

Friday, August 5, 2005

Wow!  What a night.  People begin arriving at 5:15 and church didn't start until 7 pm.  Church was in overflow and worship was intense.  KTRE Channel 9 television with anchorman Stuart Burson came to film a 2-part feature story on the revival and it's impact on East Texas.

The most amazing thing happened....oil began flowing out the palms of Bro. Rogers.  As quick as he would wipe his hands, it would bubble up again.  He had been announcing for weeks that on this night he would lay hands on everyone who desired it for a fresh anointing.

We saw 2 awesome miracles take place even after Bro. Rogers had finished his part of the service.  Diana Matthews recieved healing in her hands after oil began to flow in her hands as well.  Kelli Rowland also testified that as God moved on her, she began seeing flashes of light like a camera flash.  At first it was blinding but when she could refocus, the stygmatism in here eyes were gone and she has not worn her glasses sense.

Sunday, August 7, 2005

What a service.  One lady didn't want to miss not getting a seat so even though she drove almost 2 hours to get here, she arrived 2 1/2 hours before service (crazy woman - reminds me of our own intense hunger)  

Through praise and worship, we entered the Outer Court, stepped into the Inner Court and then I guess for the first time in my life, anytime, anywhere we experienced a corporate  "Most Holy Place" experience. Words cannot describe the beauty or freedom of this service.  All I can say is talk to someone who was there and let them describe it.

It was a very unusual service in the sense that most church services are designed for us.  We sing what we like, we do what we like...this one was only about Him.  The Holy Spirit designed this one for Him.

Water levels are definitely rising.  GET IN!  GET IN!  GET IN!

Wednesay, August 10, 2005

Bro. Rogers was not able to make it tonight because his van was in the shop.  This is further proof that his new vehicle is on the way because his vehicle now has more and more problems.  I had to step up at the last minute and preach.  Bro. Jody's shoes are difficult to fill but God is faithful.  I preached a message entitled God is ready to give you "Your Bad Reputation".  Listen to this scripture:

           ...This day I will begin to put the DREAD OF THEE and the FEAR OF THEE upon the nations

              that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, AND SHALL TREMBLE, and

             be in anguish because of thee.          Deuteronomy 2:25

Thursday, August 11, 2005

God really showed up tonight.  This was a healing service in the fullest sense of the word.   One lady that had had terrible pain in her left hand, wearing a brace for years was instantly healed, she took her brace off and then she took out both hearing aids, completely healed by the power of God.  One lady, first timer, was healed in her knee and hip, the doctor has her lined up to have a hip replacement...poor doctors, they are losing their patients!   10 people were saved after seeing God show up, confirming the Word with signs following.  Bro. Rogers preached an awesome message entitled, "When All You Have Left Is Jesus".  You need to get a copy.  Can't wait for tommorrow night as God spoke to Bro. Rogers that it would be an unforgettable night.  We had a visiting pastor and wife from Fort Worth, Texas  - Rev. and Mrs. Ernest Williams.  Blessings!

Friday, August 12, 2005

As usual, the awesome presence of God was in the service.  I wish everyone could have heard the incredible testimonies.  Bro. Rogers preached an awesome word entitled "The Confidence We Have In Him".    There was a powerful time of impartation that followed the message.

Sunday Night,  August 14, 2005

Heaven came down during our pre-church intercessory prayer.  Prayer and worship was a sweet  sound in His ears.  In the service, Evangelist Jody Rogers preached a powerful message entitle "Beauty For Ashes".  So often the devil has a plan to destroy our lives and short-circuit our God given destiny but God will come through and something that is tragic will actually turn around for our good.  So many people were given a fresh hope and detemination to make it through their obstacles.  For we know that ALL THINGS work together for the good of those who are the called. 

All of us here at Corrigan have sensed it but Bro. Rogers has begun to expound on it  that there is a definite increase of the anointing.  We have walked in the "Elijah" anointing and now there is a shift to the "Elisha" anointing which would be a double portion.  Watch out devil...we are pressing on to the "unlimited supply".

Meeting with my church leaders, as we approach the one year mark in revival (October 31, only 10 weeks away), though we are tired, nobody is complaining and everyone is getting ready for beginning the 2nd year of revival.   All we want is MORE LORD!

Thursday, August 18, 2005

WOW!  What a service!  What a Word!  Those that were here tonight will not soon forget this message.  I believe as far as messages go, there has not been a more timely or anointed message.  One pastor who came from Fort Worth commented, "This Word is what I came for.  After that Word, I didn't need anyone to lay hands on me and pray!"  The message is entitled, "You Gotta Shake It Off!"  If you haven't gone through some "stuff", then this message is probably not for you, BUT IF YOU HAVE, you will want to get a copy of this one. 

Incredible hunger is rising.  As I saw revival continue to increase across East Texas, one concern of mine were people that did not appear to be hungry for Him, but just wanted to see miracles.  It dawned on me one day that unless you have been where there is extreme hunger (such as the Pensacola Revival or the Toronto Outpouring), you think people that pursue God are "strange" or "wierd" and you did not understand them.  WELL, I must report, people from across all denominations are coming together for MORE!  We continue to see so many Baptists, Catholics, Church of Christ, Methodist, Independants and all others nightly come together for one thing, MORE OF JESUS.  I am so touched by my pastor friends that come on a regular basis because they want revival in their church too!  Well, I believe that God will give it to them.

Friday, August 19, 2005

Tonight was great.  We had a lot of local pastors as well as Bro. Rogers father and mother, the pastors of First Assembly of God in Seagoville and several of his congregation.  People gathered here from as far away as Houston and the Dallas area, the church was packed and Bro. Rogers gift as usual was completely accurate and those who were skeptical quickly became believers.  There was a mighty time of impartation.   Bro. Rogers handed out prayer clothes to everyone who wanted one.  I have a few extra should you need one. 

Sorry  about no updates over the last 3 weeks.  We were unable to update the website.  I will give a few thoughts and highlights that I will briefly mention that stick out to me.

One of the nights, a baptist lady, "abducted" her Presbyterian neighbor to bring her to an Assembly of God church where she sat next to a Church of Christ lady where she got healed.

Sunday night, September 4, 2005

Tonight, there were people from New York, Conneticut and California.  This was a great night, we have had many people that saw the 2-part feature news story on KTRE 9 News out of Lufkin.  One man came that looked like he was just about to die, his kidneys as well as other organs in his body were shutting down.  Bro. Rogers prayed....this last Sunday night, the man was back, glowing, well and healthy.  He had even gained several pounds.  The kidneys and all the other organs were working as well.

Sunday morning, September 11, 2005

This was a memorable day for my wife and I.  Not only was this the 20th Anniversary of the Church here in Corrigan but we also celebrated 20 years of ministry here.  Rachel and I pioneered the church in 1985.  Corrigan has been very good to us over the years.  The church is sending us on a Carribean Cruise in just a few days. 

Sunday night, September 11, 2005

Bro. Rogers is back from vacation.  He has not had one in 5 years.  I have been encouraging him to consider taking one.  He came back from vacation and preached an awesome message entitled, "But My God Shall Supply".   I encourage everyone to order a copy.  Bro. Rogers also announced that we are about ready to start airing "The Voice" on national television with a potential viewing audience of 46 million homes.

Wednesday, September 14, 2005

WOW!  Bro. Jody was out on business with the ministry but it did not stop any flow at all.  The Holy Spirit impressed on me that there was like a bubble of honey over that service  and that if we could "break through" then it would fall on us.  The Holy Spirit also said it was like a "pinata", that if someone would break through, there would be something good for everyone. I then said, if you don't help us break it, just keep your hands folded in your lap or in your pocket and let us collect the "goodies" when they fall.   Well, we did break through and what a service it was.  One first-time visitor was running late, speeding, got a ticket and then finally got to church, she didn't stop to sit, she came straight to the front where God instantly healed her.  There were other incredible things that God did.  was.  WOW!

Thursday, September 15, 2005

Bro. Rogers preached a great message entitle, "Awaken The Anointing Inside You".  He also announced that contracts are signed and October 1, the first nationwide veiwing of "The Voice" will be aired across America on The Word Network and soon to follow Sky Angel.  As well, the show will begin airing across Africa and Europe.  WOW!  ]

I cannot go into detail but let me say, the way that God speaks to Bro. Roger is incredible.  Tonight was proof.  I will be forever in awe.

Friday, September 16, 2005

This was a wonderful night of faith and miracles.  The emphasis tonight was dental miracles.  A lady traveling from Ruston, LA to Houston had heard of revival but did not know exactly where the church was located.  As she left Lufkin traveling South, her right jaw where she needed a dental miracle began to burn.  She did not know it was dental miracle night but the "sensation" subsided when she passed through Livingston.  She later told us this story when she stopped in for church on Sunday night as she was on her way home.  WOW!

A testimony I recieved after that service, a young lady from Timpson came and recieved two dental miracles.  She now reports that as she tells everyone she sees about her miracle, 6 other people have recieved dental miracles just hearing her testimony and their faith being built.  I know it makes no earthly sense but then neither does all the other miracles we have seen the last 11 months.  She has promised to bring her friends that have recieved this coming Friday night so she can testify and produce the proof.

Sunday night, September 18, 2005

Tonight was a large faith filled crowd.  A family consisting four generations came from the First Baptist Church in Huntington and everyone of them recieved a miracle.  Another man had a creative miracle in his back.  Long story short, he was able to stoop over and touch his toes...the first time in 35 years.  He was so excited, he had a running spell that we all enjoyed.

The absence of entries for the period of September 19 through October 19 was due to Hurricane Rita and it's impact on Corrigan and the rest of East Texas.

Thursday night, October 20, 2005

It is so good to be back into revival services mode.  All of us here at Corrigan were about to go nuts because we have been so use to seeing the miraclous and seeing people saved.   Bro. Rogers preached an awesome message on "Angelic Visitations".  As Bro. Rogers prayed for the sick, it was amazing as his gift operated.  I knew the need of some that he prayed for and as he ministered, he was deadly accurate.

One lady gave the testimony that almost a year ago, she came to services and Bro. Rogers told her that family members not seen for years would make their presence known at home again and that her house would be filled.  She came back last night and testified that it had all happened.  She then asked Bro. Jody if he could pray and get them all to leave. 

Sunday night, October 23, 2005

This was a great service encouraging the Church in Corrigan to begin that mental and spiritual preparation to begin year two next week of the Corrigan Revival.  I am in awe of the fabulous congregation here everytime we have a service.  People that have given up their personal lives to bless others.  Revival is about arriving at church early and staying late and yet, there is never a complaint.  We have found something greater than life itself, that is to live for a calling greater than ourselves.

Bro. Rogers preached a message that every church member everywhere should hear.  It is about staying tough mentally and not losing focus and resorting to behavour so often found in churches.  In revival, if you want to continue to see God show up and move is we must understand that backbiting, talebearing and strife has no place. If church is a place for God to reside, then there has to be a respect for leadership.  The message is entitled "Exposing The Devil".  Even though this was geared for the Corrigan congregation, everyone could benefit from it.

Bro. Rogers said that on Saturday and all day Sunday, he saw a dark cloud trying to settle over Corrigan.  The church went into warfare until the cloud disappated.

Wednesday night, October 26, 2005

Praise God,  what a service.  There was electricity in the air in great exectation.  Wow..the thought of the next  10 days having 11 services as we celebrate one year of continous revival.  If there has ever been hunger... it is now.  Be sure and read the update the next few days if you are not able to attend the services to see what God is up to!  You must get a copy of the message entitled, Full of Mercy, Full of Wrath". 

Wednesday, December 28, 2005

What a night!  Five people were saved.  One particular man came all the way from Las Vegas, Nevada and was healed but most importantly saved.  Bro. Jody preached an awesome word, but actually, he was encouraging the people who have been faithful to revival (particularly the Corrigan congregation) that all of their service and sacrifice has not been unnoticed by God.  The main thought of his message was that revival will intensify.  There are eight things that God has shown him that will take place very shortly.  Over the next few nights, he will be sharing these with us.  Also, it is so amazing...Decemeber is not even over but already this month, almost 800,000 thousand homes have viewed "The Voice" on The Word Network just this month.  This is fertile ground.  Praise God for the harvest.

   A note about this service - an 81 year old Italian man ended up here all the way from Las Vegas, Nevada.  After being healed by the power of God, gave his heart to God.  He later testified that he, being an entertainer has traveled around the world with people like Frank Sinatra and Tom Jones, had never found what he found  at this service.

Friday, December 30, 2005

Waves of glory swept across the church tonight.  Everybody was "messed" up in the presence of God.  People just kept soaking up the presence and were in no hurry to leave.  There is such excitement and anticipation in the air.  How can this service ever be "topped"?  We Love you Jesus!

One lady, after hearing of our upcoming trip to take the fires of revival to Ireland, stood up an pledged the money for our roundtrip airfares.  GET READY IRELAND MARCH 17 - 28 !   Praise God!

Saturday Night, December 31, 2005

What an awesome thing to have Jody Rogers and Cody Leger under the same roof in the same servicel.  Both men preached like men on fire.  Bro. Jody spoke on "8 Things To Look For In 2006" and Bro. Cody preached a message entitled, "Don't Tell Me God's Not Real".   There was a mighty impartation service.

We thank God for our friends from Romania that came for services.  This week, there were people from Louisana, Nevada, Michigan and Mexico City as well as Austin, Dallas, Harlingen...WOW!

Sunday, January 1, 2006

Both Cody Leger and Jody Rogers gave their testimonies today.  Cody has never given his complete testimony publicy before.  I do not know if I could have went through what Cody went through.  What an awesome guy.  Both of these men will make their mark on this generation.

Thursday, January 5, 2006

Bro. Jody Rogers preached a powerful message entitled, "The Form Of A Servant".  If pastor's in East Texas knew of the effect of this message on their congregation, they would have had their whole church present. 

Sunday Night, January 8, 2006

Bro. Rogers prayed for everyone in the House that desired prayer...this included everyone from First Assembly of God here in Corrigan.  I knew of the needs of most my congregation because of being their pastor and Bro. Jody "nailed" every one of them.  It is amazing to me, that the gift can be so accurate flowing through earthen vessel.

Thursday, January 12, 2006

Just a normal, ordinary Thursday night service....I encouraged people to begin to pray and interceded as we turned the service to Bro. Rogers...it was like pouring gas on a fire...all the sudden, the presence of God exploded in the House.  Bro. Jody did things a little backward as he ministered in his gift, then preached, 8 people got saved and as many baptized in the Holy Spirit.  The anointing is increasing every service...Praise God.

Friday, January 13, 2006

Thank God for 5 people saved tonight...there was a mighty presence of God during the impartation service.  We had friends from all over East Texas come to bask in the river .

Thursday, January 19, 2006

After a powerful word from Bro. Rogers entitled "Power Over All The Powers...Against Your Mind", the Holy Spirit rushed in and touched many people.  Bro. Jody prayed for everyone who was battling in their mind.  What a touch everyone recieved.

Friday, January 20, 2006

Where did all these people come from?  People everywhere...we brought out every chair in the House and went and picked up more.  The altar and foyer area were filled with people...People sitting on the edge of the platform and on the platform.  We took 25 children upstairs to allow additional room for guests.  It just goes to show that there are hungry people in East Texas.   I don't believer there has been a larger presence of ministers than in this particular service.  People stayed until the very end of the service which was about 12:30 AM.  WOW!

This night was special because Bro. Jody was going to prophesy over every person who desired prayer.  I have never seen Bro. Jody stronger.  When this gift is used, it drains him physically.  Praise God as 23 people got their heart right with God.

Sunday, March 5, 2006

Sandra Quimby got out of a wheelchair and walked for the first time in 9 years. Many other healings tookl place too!  Bro. Rogers preached a message entitled "When God Shakes A City" .

Wednesday, March 8, 2006

At the close of the service...Shelly Cassada came bursting through the back door.  She lives in Nacogdoches and two weeks previous, brought her young daughter for prayer, suffering with mutliple tumors on her bones.  They were on their way to Houston for 30 days of intensive treatment.  As she passed through Corriga, the doctor called and said "turn around and go home...the tumors are all gone".  She turned the car around and headed straight to the church to let us rejoice with her.

Thursday, March 9, 2006

This was a special night as Bro. Rogers prayed for all the people needing prayer.  8 people got saved...bringing the total to 1368 persons for 71 weeks of revival.  Healings are great but people getting saved is awesome.

Friday, March 10, 2006

Wow...did God show up tonight.   God revealed to Bro. Rogers a ladies medical condition concerning cancer in her lungs.  The doctors and hospitals have given up on her so she came as a last resort.  Folks, God will work when nothing else will.  Another lady and her husband had never been in a service like this, even though they attended a "Spirit filled" church, they had been warned that this was all flesh and nothing of God.  They have watched and wondered but never had experienced first-hand until tonight.   They both did a lot of "carpet time" and both got up being made believers AND HEALED.  Her sickness was putting such a strain on her life, job and even marriage but God changed all that.  Bless His holy name.

Sunday, March 12, 2006

This was a great day, there could not have been two more powerful services in the same day.  Sunday morning, God camd down.  There was such jubilation, celebration and dance.  I think we all could have just lived in that atmosphere. 

Sunday night is a night I will remember for a while..  We had a Southern Baptist Pastor hear about revival and came out of curiosity.  He mentioned to the woman who told him about this revival that "maybe he will get his back healed".  That night, out of the "clear blue", God tells Bro. Rogers to call everyone up who has back problems.  This pastor came up and God healed him.  He mentioned to me as he went out the door that his right foot was numb all the time.  God revealed to Bro. Rogers that one of his legs was shorter than the other.  We all watched, it was caught on video as his leg lengthened and his back was healed.

Saturday, March 18   The Ireland Crusade

We arrived this morning after a very pleasant flight.  We had only been at Ken and Ann Ashworths home for a few moments when the doorbell rang.  Long story short, a woman and her brother came in for prayer.  (Thursday) She just called and said she went to the doctor, they were going to amputate her foot on Monday but God healed the leg.  Her brother was diagnosed with colon cancer, he went to the doctor and their is no trace at all of cancer.  This was a Catholic brother and sister.

A little bit later, a woman brought her Catholic brother by, after 10 suicide attempts and 40 years in an insane assylum, he gave his heart to Christ.  He was delivered from 55 years of depression.

Sunday, March 19, 2006

We ministered at Word of Life Church in Dublin,  many exciting miracles took place in a church made up mostly of Nigerian refugees.  Several women there had husbands who had been pastors in Nigeria but had been put to death because they refused to quit preaching the gospel.

The service was interrupted by a demon possessed man.  After ushering him out, we continued the service and God touched people powerfully.

Sunday Night - Tuesday Night, March 19-21, 2006

We ministered in Bangor (Belfast, Northern Ireland) at Bangor Community Church.  A great pastor and his family, awesome praise and worship and many people were saved in these 3 services.  This is a place I want to come back to.  Awesome miracles, deaf ears, lame walking and eyes being opened.  By the last night, the church was packed and additional seating was brought in.

Wednesday Night, March 22, 2006

We were in service at Galway Abundant Life Christian Center.  This church "rocks".  Wow!  The first night, the church was at capacity.  Tomorrow night, it will be standing room only even after they bring out the extra chairs.

This church is pastored by Native Texans, Kevin and Hillary Sanford.  This church has the potential to shake Ireland.  Come back tomorrow for exciting events of the service.

Already, testimonies are coming in from the different parts of the island that we have visited.

Sunday, March 26, 2006

Services in Athlone are great.  We have seen gypsies, nuns and roman catholic priests all get saved.  For the crusade, probably close to 500 recieved Christ.  I remember one particular lady that I prayed for was instantly healed.  Her arm was twisted and it was "upside down".  Just looking at her arm was enough to test my faith and stretch my belief in what God could do.  As I took her elbow in my hand, the bones began to break and twist back into shape.   The arm went back to it's normal position

Friday Night, April 31,, 2006

Bro. Rogers was not be able to be with us tonight but that did not hinder at all the wonderful works that God had planned for this service.  As I got up to preach, all the sudden, it was like a window of Heaven opened up and all the sudden, the Holy Spirit rushed in.  My what a glorious time it was as the Holy Spirit touched everyone present.

Sunday night, April 2,  2006

Bro. Rogers will still out so I had Kim Lucas, our worship leader to preach.  It is exciting to see the anointing rest on other people who God is raising up.  The anointing in Kim brought the House down and then the Holy Ghost flooded in.  Such freedom in His presence.

Wednesday night, April 5, 2006

Bro. David "Doc" Remedios from Trinity Christian Center, Alexandria, Louisian was with us tonight.  Not only is he a pastor, a surgeon but he also leads the Louisiana Outpouring.  Wow!  What a word he brought.  We were priviliged to have many friends from Louisiana that are hungry for God.  Bro. Remdious prophesied that what was about to happen, there would be books written about it and that the revival was about to go to the world.

Friday Night, April 7, 2006

Bro. Rogers taught/preached on demons.  We were priviliged to have pastors from Wichita Falls, Danny and Paula Burt from Agape Christian Center.  There was a powerful impartation time and then we let the Burts minister. 

There are so many prophetic words being given about the revival.  Just as we had so many prophetic words before revival from so many unrelated sources, we are experiencing them again.  3 powerful words have been spoken in the last week and half about the revival "exploding" and going to the world.

Praise God for 8 people who recieved the baptism of the Holy Spirit.  

Sunday Morning, April 9, 2006

There was a "rumbling and stirring" during the praise and worship service.  I felt though that I had to break into the middle of it to bring the Word that God had given me.  I am always nervous about breaking the flow but I felt that unless I did, we would  not experience the glory that God was ready to send.  I preached a message entitled, "God, Do It Again...Looking Back At Azusa Street".  It was on this day, 100 years ago that the well opened up at the Bonnie Brae House, the beginning of the Azusa Street Revival.  WOW!  The glory came, wave after wave....all I can say is you should have been here.  The most glorious touch of Heaven that I think we have ever experienced came down.  The presence of God literally exploded.  It was almost 2:00 pm before people finally began to make their way home.

Sunday night, April 9, 2006

God took up just where He left off during the Sunday morning service that lasted until 2 pm that afternoon.  The Holy Ghost fell, we experienced great jubilation and we saw many people healed with instant visible miracles right before us.

One thing that sticks out in my mind, there was a lady that visited that I noticed was sitting in the back of the church that was weeping the whole worship service.  She had told me earlier that it had been 20 years since she had been in church and the church she attended was a Catholic one.  After a few moments, I called her forward and said God would fill her with the Holy Ghost the moment  I laid hands on her.   WOW!  God instantly filled her with the evidence of speaking in other tongues.

Wednesday, April 12, 2006

Night one of the "East Texas Outpouring".  The lady mentioned in the above entry (Sunday Night, April 9, 2006) that recieved the baptism in the Holy Spirit, she brought three friends with her and all three came forward for salvation...I wish we all had the same Holy Ghost that she recieved.

The last few weeks have been a flurry of activity.  I find it increasingly hard to make my self set down and write about each service but I keep determining to do better.  The week at the High School recently was awesome as we expected it to be.  Over a two week period, we saw about 50 people baptized in the Holy Ghost.

The couple of services we had with Pastor Paul Bradford we great.  The glory of God fell in each service.  Friday night, we finally shut the doors at 12:30 am.  As long as their are hungry people, we will keep serving it out.

Wednesday night, April 26, Pastor Kevin Sanford from Galway, Ireland preached an awesome message we titled "The Anointing That Rots The Yoke".  This is a CD every person must get.  WOW!

God continues to move, we had a lady come last Sunday morning who came with a broken shoulder.  God healed her instantly, she took her sling off HEALED.  There is always a healing flow, even when Bro. Rogers is not here.  The flow has always been here and will continue to be even when this season is passed.

Tonight is a special day (May 5, 2006) as we go on local television KTRE Channel 9 out of Lufkin, Nacogdoches.  The world is seeing, about 500,000 homes per week but now local people can watch the program.

It is awesome, last week, I had invitations to go back to Ireland, down to Mexico and 2 different invitations to go to Nigeria.  Truly the prophetic word is coming true that our hunger would be known around the world and we are waiting for the complete fulfillment of the one that we would minister to the nations.

 

Friday, May 5, 2006

Tonight was weight loss night.  Sounds silly huh?  Most times when you think of overweight people, you think of those who cannot control their appetite.  Weight can come though from diabetes, thryroids, digestive problems, depression, water retention, etc.  One particular woman that testified to me instantly loss weight.  Her dress was loose on her after she recieved prayer.

A lady came in from Longview who had a fractured leg and pinched nerve healed.  She danced all over the church almost knocking everyone down.

The Impartation Service was awesome.  There are many reports lately of people smelling the aroma or fragrance of Heaven.  Another such testimony came in last night.   

We had a group of women from First Baptist Church in Friendswood come and be blessed.  They said they will come again and bring a busload.

* UPDATE on the Friday, May 5, Weight Loss Service!

There have been MANY testimonies recieved from our Church family concerning weight loss miracles.

One lady lost 32 lbs so far...another 9 lbs and 11 inches from her waist...another an obstruction in her chest is gone, she lost 3 lbs and now she has no problem breathing...one lady reported losing 5 lbs...and the list could go on...personally, I have been wearing a size 38 pants and I easily got into a pair of pants size 34, I lost 2 1/2 lbs in just a two day period...WOW!  I realize critics will not believe this but folks...I was here, I saw it all.  When will we finally take God at His Word...HE IS ABLE TO DO EXCEEDING ABOVE ALL THAT WE COULD THINK OR ASK.   I have come to the conclusion as to why some people never recieve is because they are not bold enough to believe.

Thursday, May 11, 2006

WOW!  On the previous day Wednesday, a man and woman came from Magnolia, Texas, about 2 1/2 hours from here.  They had been in a doctors office the day before in Baytown, Texas and the wife heard some women talking in the restroom about this revival and the great things that God was doing here.  She listened in and found out the name and city of this revival.  She went home and called the church.  This couple came and visited with me on Wednesday and promised to come back to Church of Thursday and Friday night.  This woman came out of witchcraft many years ago but has had demonic attacks on her because of her faith in Jesus Christ.  These attacks came from her own family who is still very active in witchery.  She had been poisoned many times by those trying to kill her.  This poison in her body  is causing all kinds of physical problems.  Bro. Rogers did not know anything about her but went straight to her to pray for her.  Bro. Rogers told her that there was something wrong with her blood.  He stated that it was not just something wrong, it was arsenic and that she had been poisoned.  Wow!  Only God can reveal the secrets of men's hearts.  We believe the power of these satanic attacks has been broken.

Thursday, May 18, 2006

Bro. Rogers could not make it tonight.  We know that miracles do not come from a man and that they only flow through a willing vessel.  As the church Body here ministered to the oppressed and sick that came up for prayer, every single person recieved miracles.   God is so good.

Friday, May 19, 2006

Tonight was our third Dental Miracle Night.  Testimonies are still coming in but one man called in from Lufkin and reported 8 filled teeth, two other people reported filled cavities as well. 

An evangelist friend of mine from Robersonville, North Carolina, Jim Phinney, has a gifts in the area of signs and wonders.  After hearing testimonies of dental miracles decided to pray for dental miracles himself and have begin to see thiese miracles happen in his ministry as well.

Thursday, May 25, 2006

Wow!  What an incredible service...Bro. Rogers was not able to make this service so I was able to preach.  The Holy Spirit impressed on me to preach a message entitled "The Seven Fountains Of Blood".  I knew that something powerful was in the House but I didn't realize how much.  As I preached, shackles begin to be broken on people and the service was turned into one big victory celebration.  I guess everyone in the church began to dance...and dance...about the only one that did not dance was the lady who God healed her during the weight loss service (she has went from a size 22 to 14 in the last couple of weeks with a loss of over 40 lbs.  She did not wear a belt, she couldn't dance because she was too busy holding her pants up.  WOW!   What a much needed refreshing...

Wednesday night, June 5, 2006

Tonight, I announced to the congregation that the season of revival was changing.   Even though Brother Rogers would be leaving, it was not going to slow down revival.  I have never seen a church in more unity and supportive of a pastor and a decistion than this particular night.  WOW!  This is why God's presence abides here because without doubt, this is the greatest congregation in the world.

It's A New Season At The Corrigan Revival

Sunday night, June 11, 2006

This is a night we will not soon forget.  As we were beginning service, I saw an ambulance back up to the front door of the Church.  My first thought was that someone in the service must have gotten really sick and needed medical assistance.  I looked around and saw no one in distress.  When I looked back at the ambulance and the driver and the other medic got out and  unloaded a stretcher with a woman from a nursing facility in Lufkin.  I haven't got testimony back yet from the family but we believe the woman was healed.

Friday night,  June 16, 2006

Tonight, Bro. Rogers talked about how the Lord uses him with his gift.  Following the message, He laid hands on everyone to have their gift stirred up.  Following the laying on of hands, there was an incredible impartation services as we fanned the flames of the stirred up gifts.  You never measure the greatness of a service by physical manifestations but there were certianly plenty tonight.  What was a real blessing is to see the Baptist people getting in and being saturated. 

Sunday morning, June 18, 2006

This morning, Evangelist Jim Phinney preached a great message entitled, "The Name Of Jesus".  One man close to 80 years old was healed of several conditions in his body.  After service he told me it had been well over 40 years since he had been in a church.

Sunday night, June 18, 2006

There were people in the church most the afternoon praying for the evening service.  The glory was already rolling when I arrived at church almost 3 hours before service began.  There were many intercessors praying an hour before the service...in the prayer room...WOW!  Then as we began  the service, the glory just "exploded" in the House giving the congregation here a much needed refreshing.  You only have a service like this a few times a year...those that didn't make it will only be able to hear the reports.

Friday night, June 23, 2006

The river continues to increase.  What a powerful service with a tremendous time of impartation at the close of the service.  We have had Pastor Cait Rice from God's House of Prayer in Carlow, Ireland along with her daughter / worship leader, Tara Rice, visiting the revival.

Saturday, June 24, 2006

Today, we had a Prayer and Intercession Conference with Tina Welch from Tina Welch Ministries.  She ministered on how to be more effective in prayer for the increase that is coming.  Not only did she teach on prayer but during the corporate prayer time, there was such a manifestation of the power and presence of God.  Tina Welch literally poured herself into every person here.  She also began to prophesy of the increase just ahead of us in revival.

Thursday, June 29, 2006

Tonight, we had guests in from Nashville, Tennessee, Boerne, Texas and Houston.  Something I will never forget...we had a local Southern Baptist Pastor that visited.  I have always tried to bless other pastors, especially Baptist and Methodist.  I had this brother come forward to just bless him, making it clear that I was not trying to make him "Pentecostall" but when I laid my hands on him and began to pray, he begin to speak in tongues...I interrupted him and asked him where he learned to talk like that...he stated he had never talked like that before.  God instantly baptized him in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gave him utterance.

Friday, June 30, 2006

WOW...WOW...Wow!...This was the last night of the revival with Jody Rogers with us.  We had people from Nashville, Tennessee, Kinder, Louisiana, Harlingen, Huffman, Magnolia, Houston, Dallas, Victoria, Boerne and everywhere in between.  The presence of God was so strong, the anointing so rich and the glory thick.  Even though the service ran long because of the special service emphasis, most everyone stayed around for the Impartation Service and WOW.  Waves of Glory swept the place.  For myself, the Holy Spirit felt like He was a tremendous energy field and kept "pushing" me over.  I never feel such manifestations.  Our Methodist pastor friend and his wife from here in Corrigan visited for the first time and did "carpet time".  The Assembly of God pastor from First Assembly of God in Victoria wrote me an e-mail and said he spoke in tongues half the way home (220 miles).

The old season went out with a bang and the new season was ushered in with tremendous power.

Thursday, July 6, 2006

Tonight was our first revival night without Evangelist Jody Rogers but it was not without the presence of God.  As we began service, a desperate lady called and said she was coming from about 90 miles away and not to close the service until she got there.   Well, she got there, got touched her powerfully, next doctors visit will confirm the extent of her healing.  The most important thing about her trip here was that she got saved AND baptized in the the Holy Spirit in the same night.  If anything will help someone, those two blessings will.

Also, the Holy Spirit told me about the Thursday Nights, Healing Flow Services and it happened last night, "Everybody gets prayed for, everybody gets healed".   We saw backs healed, lungs, infections, depression, a short leg (one inch) grow out, ear infections, tooth aches, all...instantly be healed by the power of God. 


Friday night, July 7, 2006

This was the first Friday night in our new season.

God spoke to me this morning and said that as the service began, I should ask if there were two people that one had a severe headache and the second, a bad back problem, and that He would heal them so they could enjoy the rest of the service.  I wrote this in my notes for the service to remind me.  When service began, I asked who the two were.  They were both there, a man with a severe headache and a local pastor who fell off the Church and broke his back.  I prayed for the headache first which went away immediately and then I prayed for the pastor with a broke back.  He had a back brace on that tried to intimidate me but I refused to let it happen.  We prayed, God healed...the pastor took the brace off and was able to lift his hands, twist his back and competely bend over...things he was unable to do before.  HEALED BY THE POWER OF GOD!  God recieves all glory.

Get the CD's...what powerful words and prophecy for our lives and the destiny of revival.  Revival is much greater than what any of us anticipated or prepared for.  We were just wanting God to show up in our lives and our city...but when God finds a church He can trust...He gives assignments to.  Assignments last night were revealed to me.

Dr. Robert Pace, Associate Pastor- Christian Tabernacle brought a powerful word and Spirit into the House.  He taught on intercessory prayer...WOW! and then he preached and ministered in the power of the Holy Spirit...WOW!

Thursday, July 13, 2006

Many miracles took place tonight but one that was memorable was when a member of our church came to church with a broken breastbone, the result of a freak four-wheeler accident.  It had been impossible for her to lay on her back.  Even at the doctor's office this morning, she could not lay back for the examination.   Instantly, God healed her and she was able to lay down comfortably.  God is so good.

The week of July 16-23

The waters have increased this week.  We have had greater manifestation of the presence of God in each service.  Thursday, into Friday, into Sunday services, the waters just kept rising.  Sunday night...wow...this was a service that anyone there will not soon forget.  Several people had to be carried to their vehicles...I don't know how they ever made it home...God's presence EXPLODED in the House.  I believe that this was the most "powerful" night of being in God's presence in 91 weeks of revival.  God is getting the revival ready for something, I believe will be beyond our wildest dreams. 

Thursday, July 27, 2006

Even though it was not the largest crowd we ever had, everyone that came for prayer recieved their healing.  This is exactly what God said would happen. 

Friday, July 28, 2006

Pastor Paul Bradford from Ruston, LA, was with us....wow...get the CD...what a word about "The Fulness Of Christ".  There was a powerful presence of God at the close ot the message as people were on their faces before God.  Such a powerful impartation time.  Then...God's healing presence showed up and many people were healed...as a matter of fact...everyone that recieved prayer, recieved their healing.  There were many other people that were healed and I will post the testimonies as they continue to come.   Please read the following testimony...


             I was lead by the Spirit to get prayer for my scoliosis. I have had it since i was about 6 or 7. I was     

             in  alot of pain. If I was on my feet for long periods of time I would have pain in my feet, my knees,

             and my lower back and when I went to bed the pain in my back would cause me to toss and turn

            all night long. But Pastor Corbett asked me to sit down and placed his thumbs on the bottom of my

            feet and as he spoke the very first word from his mouth my left leg started to grow right before our

            eyes. My spine is straight and my legs are even and PRAISE GOD I am HEALED!!! That night I

            went to bed and was able to have the best sleep I have had in almost 20 years.

                                                                                                                     Very Happy THANK YOU JESUS!

Sunday, July 30, 2006

What a wonderful thing when you see a Church family work together and flow together in unity.  This is not doubt the greatest church in the world.   Sunday morning, a wonderful miracle took place as one of our ladies was healed of lower back, upper back, shoulder and arm problems after being rear ended by an 18 wheeler on Wednesday.  God instantly healed this sister and she took off her sling.

Thursday, August 3, 2006

"Everyone gets prayed for, everyone gets healed" is what the Holy Spirit said about the Thursday night services a couple of months ago.  Well...that is what is happening.  Some people do not come to revival anymore because an "evangelist" is not in the House.  Evangelists are good but one man, regardless of who is he or what gift he has will never be as effective as a Church that loves and flows together in the corporate gift which is a manifestation of the presence of God.   We know  what it is like to see people drive from a great distance only to find out that an "evangelist' is not here, and then get upset and leave.  Here, we are teaching people not have faith in the man but rather the faithfulness of God.   If some people only want a certian man to pray for them or else, they would just rather be sick...then they ought to be sick.  You deserve what you tolerate.   When people get in enough pain or sick enough, it doesn't matter when, where or who by...just get me about of my suffering....then they are ready for a great healing.

Tonight, no evangelist was here, no great orator that astounded people with great preaching abilities, but what people did experience was a Church that was filled with love for each other, a love for the presence of God and a desire to minister to hurting people. What we saw tonight was someone healed of asthma, another of scoliosis, a man with neck problems for four years, a girl with knee problems and had not run in two years, a sister with back problems... We don't call them healed because we pray for them...when we pray for the sick...we ask them to do what they were not able to do before to demonstrate whether or not God is faithful....GOD IS ALWAYS FAITHFUL.

UPDATE     The first paragraph above for this date told of a 16 year old girl that had not run in 4 years.  She recieved her healing and ran around the church healed.  The next day, she went for a doctors checkup and physical and the doctor gave her a clean bill of health.  She will now be able to play basketball and volleyball in High School.

We had some wonderful people drive all the way from Kingsville, Texas (almost 8 hours) because God told the woman that she was scheduled to go to the wrong doctor.  She cancelled her doctors appointment and came...and recieved prayer.  We are waiting for her written testimony.

 

Friday, August 4, 2006

Tonight was not the biggest crowd but God was certianly here.  We had a man come that had never been in anything but a Catholic Church and that was only when he was a child.  He came with a brain tumor, he said that someone told him he should come but dismissed it because this "healing" business was just a crock.  Then when four other people told him he should come, he came, not believing but still he came.  The greatest part of the story is he ended up giving his heart to Jesus.  The other great part of the story is that as we prayed for him, the presence of God came upon him and he could barely stand.  We will not know about the state of the tumor until he goes to the doctor next time but after we prayed, he was able to do several physical challenges that could not be done before that gave him indication that something had changed.  Be watching for the upcoming testimony of his doctors report. 

Saturaday, August 5, 2006

We had a special service with Jody Rogers tonight.  We had a lady visit from Norway that had cancer.  She was traveling down the highway, saw the sign outside that services were being conducted inside.  She came in and God revealed to Jody what her condition was.  We are awaiting this testimony.  So many people are drawn in off the highway for physical healings.

Sunday night, August 6, 2006

Sunday nights are always special because we are letting our interns take the pulpit and minister in the power of the Holy Spirit.  My daughter Heather Corbett preached her first message and did a really great job.  There is future in this church and revival because of the young people being raised up to preach the gospel and carry the flames of revival out from here.

We had a Southern Baptist preacher attend that had had car problems and was staying the weekend with his inlaws which are members of our church.  He was diagnosed with degenerative joint disease and it was severly affecting his hips and knees.  He is still a young man and did not want to be on steroids the rest of his life as well as becoming crippled.  It is so amazing what desperate people do.  Sometimes, you have to "unlearn" what you have been taught all of your life or you will be sick and crippled for the rest of your life.  He decided he had nothing to lose so he came....God healed him, we watched as the damage in his hips, legs and kness were restored and his leg lengthed right before our very eyes.  Before we prayed, he had to use a walking cane and then could barely walk.  After we prayed...he had no problem walking, standing or getting up and down.  God is so good.

Thursday, August 10, 2006

Amazing night of miracles.  We had a woman healed of a arm/shoulder condition.  Another woman instantly healed of a hieta hernia that she had suffered with for 46 years.  It went completely away right beneath our touch as we commanded it to leave her body.  A man was healed of a condition in his eye that made everything "wavy" that he has had constantly for 27 years.  It is true...everybody gets healed.  Praise Jesus!

Sunday night, August 20

INCREDIBLE NIGHT!!!   Before each service, the intercessors gather for prayer.  I heard the wonderful sounds of people praying and the power of God falling so naturally, I went to investigate because I love that atmosphere.  WOW...I stepped right into the "glory room".  God's presence had saturated that room and hardly anyone could stand.  It finally came time to start church and as the intercessors left the room, the presence of God came out with them...that is as far as the service got.  There was no opening the service, there was no order for the service but the awesome presence of God.  The best way to describe God's glory was like opening a hot oven and the heat and smoke rolling out.  People were refreshed, and some filled with the joy of the Lord and the baptism in the Holy Spirit.

Wednesday Morning, August 23, 2006

This was not a revival service in the sense but in our weekly Nursing Home Service, we sang the traditional songs like you would sing, "I'll Fly Away, When We All Get To Heaven, etc".  At the end, Heather started to play the powerful revival song titled, "What A Friend I Found".  WOW!  Have you ever heard of the glory and presence of God showing up in a nursing home...well, it happened.  One resident lifted up her voice and began to shout praises...the whole nursing home had to have heard...after that service, the activity director called the church office and asked if she could start transporting residents down here for Sunday Morning Service.     ...every where the river goes....healing!

Friday, August 25, 2006

Evangelist Cody, Danny and Lynn Leger was with us tonight.  What an awesome service.  The church was full and we had people out of state from Arkansas, Louisiana.  We had people from all over Texas here from Midland Odessa, Victoria, Houston, Dallas and everywhere in between.  Many people were healed that had instant, tangible manifestations of their healings.  I can't wait to begin receiving the testimonies so they can be posted.  There was a powerful impartation service too!

One Baptist lady came and was healed and then after dancing and kicking for a spell, she said she wanted to baptised in the Holy Ghost...well, God immediately gave her what she asked for.  She told all of her Baptist friends about her healing and recieving the baptism in the Holy Spirit.   She sent in testimony saying that she went to her church Sunday morning and told everyone what God had done for her.

When the above Baptist woman recieved the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, another Baptist woman standing next to her recieved this wonderful gift at the same time.  This woman came up for prayer later and was healed of her diabetes (she sent in a testimony that her blood sugar level has since been perfect).  This woman's husband was healed of a hernia the instant we prayed.

Another woman came up for prayer that had suffered with indigestion every day for the last 4 years and was healed the moment we prayed and later reported that her blood pressure is the lowest it has been in years.

Monday night, August 27, 2006

We love to visit area revivals when we are not in service ourself.  We went to First A/G in Nacogdoches to hear Evangelist Andre Van Zyl.  WOW!  He called me out and prophesied and said that we had just come through a powerful season and that it was over but a more fruitful season had come.  He prophesied that there was a revival coming to our church like had never been seen anywhere, anytime.  He said not to try to find it in a book because books on this new move had not been written yet, who knows, I may be the one to get to write it.  He said I would not hear it on someone else's CD yet because it has happened yet but all this was going to happen in the near future.  WOW!  He said my ministry style would be changing and that the anointing would be increasing and that this would be greater than anything seen yet.

Friday Night, September 1, 2006

The crowd was not the biggest we had as it was a holiday weekend and the first night of  the football season but the presence of God as usual showed up.  Sometimes though, a big crowd just gets in the way of those who are crazy after God.  We had an amazing healing take place as a lady came who had throat cancer 5 years ago and the radiation had killed her salivary glands and she her body has not produced saliva in over 5 years.  God told me He would instantly heal her and He did.  We laid hands on her throat and commanded it to produce saliva.  She felt a cool chill begin in her throat that swept through her whole body.  She began to swallow as her glands began producing saliva.  She even went outside to see if she could spit which she did.  She traveled 45 miles to get here and she called me when she got home to tell me that all the way, she had to keep swallowing hard all the saliva her glands were producing.

There was such freedom, exhuberance and joy that nobody wanted to stop worshipping and go home.

Sunday morning, September 3, 2006

There is so much excitement in the Church that people can barely contain themselves.  This has been 10 weeks since our evangelist has been gone from the revival services.   We thank God for the 87 previous weeks of revival servivces serving him but  we realized how even though we were serving people from 27 states and 11 different nations in revival, that we had neglected our vision of winning our city.   Praise God the tide has turned, we are reaching our city now and continuing in the spirit of revival.  The Church was almost full Sunday morning and the Sunday night crowds are as large as they have ever been.  Get ready building program, we are fixing to need it.

Sunday night, September 3, 2006

Monica Massey preached her first message tonight.  She was a ball of fire and she preached and did not use notes of any kind.  I sat back and watched and listened and felt like a proud father as I see incredible young people arising up that will not compromise and preparing themselves to take this message to the ends of the earth.  We gave Monica a chance to lay hands on every one here and all were touched any many healed.

     

Friday, September 8, 2006

Pastor Johnny Knight  from First Assembly of God in Victoria, Texas ministered and brought a very powerful message called "Chasing Away The Buzzards".  After the message, there was such exhuberance worship and we all had a hard time wanting to go home. 

We had a visiting pastors, Leland and Jan Burkett from Church Fellowship Internation in Henderson, Texas and they recieved a great refreshing from God.  They came weary but went away with a great touch.  Sunday, the glory of God came down in both services.  They decided just to have services all week as long as the glory  is there.

Tuesday, September 12, 2006

I got the call yesterday from Pastors Leland and Jan Burkett (read in previous entry) that when they went back to their church on Sunday, both services, the glory of God fell.  What do you do when the glory comes...just keep going.   They called to see if I could come and minister on Tuesday night.  The glory of God came after I brought about God not blessing quitters.   Everyone that came for prayer was "slain" in the Spirit except for the two catchers assisting me.  God's healing presence then came and several were healed, one of a back disorder that had not allowed a woman to bend over and touch her toes in years.  Another lady with nerve damage in her hands after an bad car accident received healing and another lady with a kidney stone was healed.  The pastor's daughter got a tremendous touch as the stress left her and the joy came.

Friday, September 15, 2006

Wonderful presence of God was in the House.  I asked worship leader Kimmy Lucas to minister and minister she did.  She preached a liberating message for so many people and they were blessed.  A group of women came from Lake Charles, Louisiana and were all powerfully touched.  One woman was an evangelist which has a ministry of signs and wonders but needed a touch herself.  God instantly healed her knee and she began to leap for joy with the bad knee...healed by the power of God and then God instantly removed a lump in her breast.  I asked her to go check and come back and confirm it and it was gone.  The devil never should have messed with her.  He gifts had been intimidated by these physical problems and then God gave her a touch and it was prophesied to her that this gift that had been attacked would come back with a vengeance.

I felt that God was telling me as I prepared for the service tonight that miracles would come so easy, just to deliver a very short word and let Him do the rest.  Well, that is what I did and did God ever move.  I preached one of my shortest messages ever.  The main thrust of the word was it is better to use the little faith you have than to sit on your great faith.  Too many people boast of great faith that they have yet they fail to utilize it to help hurting people and then others have a little faith that accomplish great things.

God had already told me that EVERYONE would be healed that would come forward for prayer.  WOW!   I can say that God is true to His Word.  So many amazing things happened...those skeptical would never believe and just scoff.  Many that were prayed for felt instant physical changes but time and medical examinations will prove God faithful.  One lady ...well...words cannot describe it.  A pastor from Corsicana emailed me and said to pray for his wife and that she had been suffering for about 6 months with a problem that the doctors could not diagnose it or pinpoint the problem.   She could not get here as that was almost 3 hours away but we found out one thing...God can heal at a distance...via telephone as if she were there in the service.  We hooked the telephone up to the PA system and we could communicate with each other as we prayed.  This pastor's wife did not know anything about how God was moving at the Church but as we prayed...she testified of the same physical healing manifestion (an incredible warm, if not hot sensation rush through her body) and you could hear her excitement and joy as the knot she had on her neck comepletely vanished at our word and beneath her touch, all the pain down the left side of her body and the numbness in her head went comepletely away.  Thanks be to God who heals all our sickness and diseases.  Short legs were lengthened, knots in throats were  removed, weak knees and hip, back problems from birth, and on and on we could go.  It was just incredible.

Saturday, September 30, 2006   - Andrews, Texas

We left for Andrews out of Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston and crossed paths with Kimmy Lucas, our worship leader as she and Cody Leger, Lynn Leger, Pastor Bobby Leger, Cindy Bradford and a host of others that have had a part of the Corrigan Revival, as the got off the plane from the Argentine Revival.  We had prayer...WOW!...the power of God fell in the airport.   Pastor Johnny Knight said it was worth the whole trip to Andrews just to be in on that one prayer meeting.

We began revival services here in this far West Texas town.  I appreciate one of my deacons Cary Lucas that was able to come with me and Pastor Johnny Knight from First Assembly of  God in Victoria.  They are a great blessing and help to me as we are all together partners together in ministry. 

It was a blessing to have great intercessor friends come from Boerne, Texas...Robert and Diana Koger and Joane Spearman from Odessa.  They have encouraged me and prayed with me.  I so miss my intercessory prayer warriors from Corrigan.  When they could not be here...God sent me some to be by my side.

The first night was I think a really good service.  This was the night Pastor Glenn receveived his touch.  When God begins to move in a church...He will begin with the head...the Pastor.  This man's vision has been tested, he has been targeted by the devil but he got his vision back tonight.  Anyone who has a hunger for more of God, especially a pastor will face incredible opposition but "Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world".  Wave after wave of glory came over our brother.  Others that have stood firm with him were really blessed as well.   There were some people there who appeared to not understand (or maybe a little reluctant) to get into the flow but the river will rise and overtalke them.

Sunday morning, October 1, 2006 - Andrews, Texas

The breakthrough is here...the river is flowing...wow!...what a Sunday morning service.  The Holy Spirit moved and stretched them and we went until 1:15 and the people are ready for more.  So many people had breakthroughs.   We have had to move chairs out of the way to make more room for the altar service....everyone came forward....no one left...the power of God was on each one.  The Lord has a special "surprise" for them tonight.  Read the entry later after I get out of the service....maybe we will even have pictures to share.  

God has positioned Pastor Johnny Knight (First A/G - Victoria) together for these services and wow...what a joy.  He has prepared the way for the revival message through scripture and prayer and then in ministry of music and prayer during impartation time.  We just received a call from Pastor Paul Bradford (The Louisiana Outpouring) for us to flow together in a week of services in Louisiana in a couple of weeks.  Praise God.

Sunday night, October 1, 2006 - Andrews, Texas

My goodness....God exploded in Andrews, Texas.  I preached a message entitled, "The Revival Anointing" and what we must do to get and keep the presence of God.  After I preached, wave after wave after wave of the glory of God rolled in.  Everyone got in the River and no one was a spectator.  I emphasized the importance to the people that no longer should the full time pastor be the only one who could flow in the gifts and that we all should be trained and mobilized to do the work of the ministry.  After an impartation service in which I and Pastor Johnny Knight (First  A/G, Victoria, ,Texas) laid hands on everyone for more of Jesus...we showed them what a "Fire Tunnel" was and allowed each of them to pray for everyone else.  The more they poured of themselves into others, the more that God poured into them.

After the dust was settled, the church  resembled a war zone than a church.  So many people were completly overwhelmed by the presence and Glory of God.  That is what they were hungry for and that is what God sent them. 

The river is rising and I expect the Church to be at capacity tonight.  I can't wait to see what God does next.

Monday, October 2, 2006 - Andrews, Texas

As we arrived back to the Church tonight for services, we could sense the anticipation of the people when we walked in the door.  All the intercessors coming to pray had a hard time praying because they were like bouncing off the walls with excitement and expectation.  I said that it was okay that God understood.  When the presence of God comes, it calls for a celebration.

I explained to the congregation that as incredible as the previous night was, that that was only the "seed" of revival or in other words, revival in it's infancy.  I told them that if the "seed" was that glorious, what would the "tree" of revival look like.  What would the "fruit" of revival look like.  Wow!

The service was a totally different flow, the church was full but people pressed into God's presence.  The thrust of my message was "The Next Thing God Does Is Better Than The Last Thing He Did".  It's time to turn loose of yesterday and get on with tomorrow.

Such a big thanks go to Pastor Johnny Knight, from First A/G in Victoria for coming and ministering in music.  Johhny's music brought the presence and the glory of God to the revival services.  Thanks also to one of my board members who came along to serve, lift our hands, he ended up playing the drums and took care of the menial tasks of keeping three men going.  Thanks to intercessors Robert and Diana Koger from Boerne, Texas and Joan Spearman from Midland.  A pastor in revival is always dependent upon intercessors and when I could not bring any because of the distance, these came into Andrews at their own expense and expanded the Kingdom of  God.  All the thanks go to make the point that the days (at least in my life) of the "Lone Ranger" attitude is over.  The wave of revival coming to America is a corporate move of a bunch of "nobody's".   BLESS THE LORD!

Worship Leader Kim Lucas preached and testified of her recent trip to the Argentine Revival

Thursday, October 12, 2006

We had an invitation to go to Elsie Webbs home in Oakhurst which is about an hour from the church.  Elsie has received so many miracles since she has been coming to revival services that she wanted her neighbors, family and friends to experiene the power and the presence of God themself.  We arrived and were amazed as she had indeed gathered family and friends as there were 31 people in her home to hear the word of God and receive prayer.  Many miracles took place as we ministered a faith building word and prayed for everyone who was sick or in distress.

Sunday, October 15, 2006 - Sulphur, Louisiana

The Revival Team came with me to Celebration Worship Center and we had the privilige of ministering to Pastor Max Docunsen and his wonderful church.  The people were so gracious and receptive.  They do not normally have Sunday evening service but we all came together with several local pastors and the glory of God came down.  About the time we thought the service was winding down, the healing flow erupted and we ministered for a long time to all who were sick.  Many instant miracles and healings took place.  Check out the service at here for pictures and testimonies.

The Corrigan Revival Comes To Louisiana

Friday, January 12, 2007

Revival services are back in full swing after an incredible Christmas season of outreach and evangelism.

What a crowd, the largest in about 6 months...it was a great indication of what is about to happen. Services tonight were incredible again, there was no indication of taking a few weeks off, the congregation did not have to be pumped or primed.  Within five minutes, during the first song as a matter of fact the Glory of God had already fallen. Guest Speaker for the night, Evangelist Cody Leger was overtaken by the presence of God along with most others in the congregation and was unable to stand or minister because of the thickness of the Glory.   This was a night when people were healed instantly, people were saved, baptized in the Holy Spirit, delivered from drugs and one man runnning from God and the call to preach surrendered.  Noone was ready for the service to be over and we lingered 11:00 pm in the presence of God.

Evangelist Cody Leger ministered, actually the whole message was a prophetic one that had confirmed words that had been previously spoken, but even as recent as this past week through the mouths of prophets from Chicago and New Zealand.  The word was that there were new territories about to be taken, that a "Gideon Anointing" was coming on this church...that means that a whole lot will be done by the power of God through a small group of ultra-committed people.   Cody also prophesied that God was preparing us for the nations and that the nations were being prepared for us.  The message Cody brought to the House was titled, "Liberation For The Nations".  I would encourage you to order that CD...it is only $2.00.

There have been so many words given this week by those who work in the prophetic and they were all saying the same thing...It will soon manifest as I see it already beginning to happen.  Watch out Hell!  Watch satan!  Watch out complacent Christians!  God is moving.

Friday, January 19, 2007

Last week, the Glory of God fell in the first five minutes of the service.  Tonight, we never moved passed the first song.  We sang the song, or rather the cry of our heart was "Fire, Fall Down".  Eventually, the Spirit changed the words of the song into a prophetical chorus of "Fire, Flow Out".  This is the only song that was sung for the course of a three hour service.  Pastor Tim Gibb of the Sarnia Revival in this city East of Toronto which has been in the same "River" that we have been in since June of 2006, sent us a Canadian Flag which had been soaked in the River flowing out of their Church.  {Last Sunday morning, his church had received a Texas flag that had been soaked in the River here in Texas).  The power of God fell and the congregation began a powerful time of prayer and intercession for the nations of the world.  Pastor Johnny Knight from First A/G in Victoria, Texas brought a powerful word that was a confirmation of the other things that had transpired in this service.  Some services are good, just the manifest presence, but tonight, God took us into a powerful time of intimacy with Him.  The Sarnia Connection

Saturday, January 20, 2007, Andrews, Texas

We began revival services tonight in Andrews, Texas.  The Church was full of people who had been touched the last time we were here in October and they were hungry for more of the presence of God.  From the very beginning, God was present in the service.  God delivered one woman gloriously from depression she was experiencing since the recent death of her mother...you knew when God delivered her.  We had a wonderful altar service and then God healed several women.  We were so tired from the trip out here, after spending many hours sitting at the airport but in spite of our mental and physical fatigue, God stepped in as He always does and does what He has always wanted to do.

The most amazing weather phenomena happened.  The weather forecasters predicted the heaviest snowfall ever recorded in the Andrews area for Friday and Saturday.  The local intercessors began to pray and as we watch the storm develop, there was an area in a 50 mile radius that was not icy.  The forecasters said that something wierd happened and had no explanation for what had happened.  It was like a bubble was over the area and the was ice and snow all around.  As we concluded the services on Monday night, it began to snow.  When we left Andrews around 6:00 AM on Tuesday, 6-8 inches was already on the ground and showed no signs of letting up.

Sunday Afternoon, January 21, 2007, Monahans, Texas

It was a great service as three congregations gathered together in Monahans to seek the face of God.  The river began to flow and we just had to pray our way out the door during the impartation time so we could make the services again in Andrews for the night service.

Sunday Evening, January 21, 2007, Andrews, Texas

The power of God was present and people pressed into the presence of God.  We had a fire tunnel and allowed people to minister one to another.

Monday Night, January 22, 2007, Andrews, Texas

As we closed the Andrews Revival, we had a healing service and so many people were healed.  One amazing testimony is that a woman who had not been to church in around twenty years came.  She did not even wait for an altar call and she rushed up to the front for prayer for healing.  I asked her, what are you going to do after you recieve your healing?  She replied that she was going to serve the Lord and start going to church.  I asked her what church and she said "this church".  THEN...immediately God healed her, she felt the power of God touch her and faith swept through the whole congregation.  Many amazing miracles took place. 

When I preached, I preached in a way that built people's faith but also instructed Christians how to move in the healing gifts.  There was a TREMENDOUS impartation service that went until almost 11 PM.

The lady that received that first healing came forward for salvation and her three unsaved, married daughters and grandchildren came with her and were all saved.  The fourth daughter had been saved in our previous revival in Andrews.

Friday, January 26, 2007

There was a large group of hungry people tonight that were ready for the presence of God.  I preached about how God can not trust a man with His glory until all of the man has been squeezed out..."that no flesh will glory in His presence".  The name of the message was "Laid Out In The Presence Of The Lord".  Just one moment in His presence is all that we need to change your situation.  God came down during the impartation service and people were so blessed, encouraged and renewed.

Sunday Morning and Night, January 28, 2007

Another glorious weekend as the Corrigan Church here continues to flow together .  We had one of the largest Sunday crowds ever for a service that was not any extraordinary day.  Just hungry people loving Jesus and loving each other.  Sunday night, Sister Arvy Cox preached and the Heavens opened up and people were wonderfully blessed.

Friday Night, February 2, 2007

Pastor Deborah Prihoda from First Assembly of God in Rosenberg was our special guest.  We enjoyed a powerful time of worship and a great impartation time in the altars.  Pastor Deborah's church is on the verge of full blown revival so South Texas...watch out!

The Ireland "Sending Off" Service                  The Ireland Services

Saturday Night, March 24, 2007

We came to Boerne knowing that God was going to show up and touch many lives.  I preached a message about how you must "position" yourself if you need a touch of God.  God is everywhere but He is looking for people who will do just the extra effort to get in His path as He is moving.  Something then happened that I will never forget...a young woman, broken and crying got up from the back of the Church and made here way to the front where she sat down on the first row and the front seat.  Then, without any prompting, people all across the Church arose and filled every seat that was empty at the front of the church.   There was such liberty here.  People were in attendance from all over South Texas. 

Sunday Morning, March 25, 2007

Today, an older gentleman, came and sat on the front row and the front seat.  He said that the night before, he came to church convinced that there was nothing to it until God touched him powerfully.  He said he came the night before just to say that he came and that his plans were to "weasel" out of the two Sunday services.  Pictures and Testimonies from Boerne, Texas

Sunday Night, March 25, 2007

These were three powerful services.  Pastor Dub Jones has invited us to come back and we will do it again in August.  I must say thanks to my home church back in Corrigan as they allowed so many to go with me and this whole weekend was a team effort. Pictures and Testimonies from Boerne, Texas

Of all the places I have ever ministered, this was probably the most rewarding as Pastor Dub and the whole church pulled together to make a place for God to "rest" this weekend.  There has been a visitation so now they are preparing for a habitiation.  Pictures and Testimonies from Boerne, Texas

 

Sunday Night, April 1, 2007

Wow!   This was our Palm Sunday Service and Jesus came in.  There was such a spirit of worship tonight and all we could do was for everyone to come to the front, lay down their jackets, sweaters, bible, purses or whatever was in their hand or they could grab and lay it down before the Lord.  You would just have to be there I suppose but then as deep cried to deep, such a deep current of God's presence began to flow and then a "holy hush" fell and people were afraid to breathe, much less speak out loud.  People just tarried and were in no hurry.  There was no music, no prompting...only the precious presence of Jesus.  Church ended in the most incredible way...people, when they had to leave, just quietly left without a handshake, hug, wave or even eye contact.  You would just had to have been there.  Those present will not soon forget that incredible experience...until the next service until He shows up again.

Sunday, April 8, 2007

What a day!   The Church was packed (our largest Easter crowd ever), we had the premiere of our dance team that ministered and then God showed up and several were saved.  It was funny, at the closing of the service, a reporter from the local news station in Lufkin came in the church and asked if he could shoot a few pictures and get some testimonies.  He said he was sent into this area to report a fire...he couldn't find that fire but he found and reported our fire which he put on the Headline News in the area last night.

Sunday,  May 6, 2007

What a day!   The Church was packed again, we had a tremendous crowd as we celebrated our version oc Cinco de Mayo, a Hispanic holiday celebrating their independence from Spain.  We always enjoy celebrating diversity in the Body and we all love the wonderful Tex-Mex cooking. 

Sunday,  May 13, 2007

What a day again!    The Church was packed as we had the largest crowd we have ever had.  God is showing up and so are people.  We never had this kind of growth or Sunday crowds like we are having.  The church is is working so hard to serve God and loving people.   Of the last 5 Sundays, we have had 3 record Sunday morning crowds.   Praise God that people are being touched and reached for Jesus Christ.

The Ireland Trip #3

Wednesday, May 16, Service #1 God's House of Prayer in Carlow

What a beautiful service.  God came down and there was a powerful presence of God as this wonderful group of Believers worshipped God fervently.  I ministered a message on "What God Is Looking For".  If you know what He wants and what He is attracted to, then get yourself into position and see God bless.

Friday, May 18, Service #2 Athlone Christian Center

What a joy it was to come back to Athlone and see that Pastors Ken and Ann Ashworth have continued to develop the fruit from the last services here 8 weeks ago.  Many that received healing and salvation continue to serve God.  I always enjoy preaching here because it is all about the love of God.  We saw God do some follow-up miracles in people's lives.

The Ireland Trip #3

Sunday, May 20, Service #3 God's House of Prayer in Carlow

God's presence was sweet as we entered into a powerful time of worship.  The thing I love about this church is it is only about Jesus and being led of the Spirit.  I did not feel impressed to do hands on ministry but at the close of the service, they brought the babies and the children in from Children's Church and asked us to lay our hands upon them and bless them.  This was such a powerful time as we laid hands on this generation of Irish children that will no doubt take the gospel again to the ends of the earth.

The Ireland Trip #3

Sunday Night, May 20, Service #4  Abundant Life Church in Dublin

WOW!  We were all stunned and could only sit back in awe as God showed up.  This was the first service I have been a part of that EVERY SICK PERSON THAT CAME FORWARD FOR PRAYER WAS HEALED INSTANTLY.  This was also the first service that we had video cameras filming while God was healing.  We captured the healing power of God on video as people were healed of back, knee, shoulder and neck and various other problems.  One lady in particular came up for prayer for her shoulder that was messed up and in really bad pain.  The power of God hit her before we could even lay hands on her and we saw God heal her without a person laying hands on her or praying.   We saw God remove the pain and give complete freedom in movement and motion.

Another wonderful aspect of this service was as I began to instruct other people how to lay hands on the sick and as they did, miracles began to manifest.  This service was much bigger than this service as God is truly preparing this church for more supernatural signs, miracles and wonders.  We met some really wonderful people that we will continue to have connections with.

Thursday Night, July 19, Summer Revival Explosion

The intercessors gathered for a pre-church prayer and the Glory of God came in such a powerful way.  The way the Glory came down could have been, would have been a great way to end a series of 5 powerful revival meetings...but we had not even had the first service yet...just a single prayer meeting.   The service that followed was tremendous.  The Holy Spirit gave instuctions to do two things.  First we ministered to the Lord.   How often do we just come in and "tug" on the gift of the man of God.   For the first hour and a half, we only ministered to God through communion, praise and worship.  Then we ministered to the Evangelist Maurice and Christine Hinton...wow...the Glory, the Power and refreshing of God came down.  The evangelist is at the end of a five week run of services and then he goes back to NZ on Tuesday.  God said just refresh, minister to and get him ready for the Friday, Saturday and Sunday services.  We all could hardly contain ourselves and let the Holy Spirit do His work.

Friday Night, July 20, Summer Revival Explosion

Wow...did you read the report from last night about the prayer meeting....well, it only went downhill (or should I say uphill) from there.   Gathering two hours before the service for prayer, the glory was rolling by the time that service began.  A pastor's wife from West Texas entered the prayer room and and encountered the "glory cloud".  There was a powerful, powerful time of worship and we all thought we were about to explode...at times we could not even sing, just basking in that atmosphere while the musicians played with an incredible anointing.

Evangelist Maurice Hinton preached a message on the fire of God and the service ended with a powerful time of ministry.

 

Saturday Night , July 21, Summer Revival Explosion

The power of God was so refreshing...words cannot describe all that happened but many people had to be helped to their cars and several were not is a good shape to drive.  Wave after wave of glory swept through and after each wave, people thought church was over and as many left...the power only increased.   Those who left early regretted it because it was so powerful.

Sunday Night, July 22, Summer Revival Explosion

What a way to end a series of services.  I do not think we will ever be the same.  Usually church never gets really good until half the people leave.  Tonight, nobody left and the presence was so strong.  Go to the web-link at  SummerRevivalExplosion2007 for pictures and commentary.

Below is a note from Pastor Shannon Vinsonhaler from Monahans, Texas who received a powerful touch.  You will find pictures and testimonies at SummerRevivalExplosion2007 .

Hey Pastor,  

Just wanted to let you in on our experience on the ride home. We made it home at about 8:30. At about 7:30 we were coming through Midland when the power of God fell on our vehicle. We managed to make it to my parents house in Monahans where our kids were. By the time we got there we were hardly able to walk in the house. To make a long story short we had an incredible prayer meeting with our kids and my parents. Shelby our daughter had a powerful experience which included laughter and a little loss of dignity. We had quite a time. I will tell you more later.

Update from previous entry

Greetings from First Assembly of God in Monahans,   What a great service we had last night. It was our first time to hold a Healing Service. God showed up in an amazing way. The first person we prayed with has stomach pain that had been hurting for a full month. God touched her deeply and she was able to leave pain free. Another woman was healed of arthritis in her hip. Still others were healed of back pain, Migraine headaches and Fibroid Myalgia. Several others who wanted a touch from god were prayed for and God moved in a very powerful way. One man was under the power of God for about forty five minutes. He was not sure what God was doing but reported that the Glory of God was so heavy he felt like he may be pressed into the ground. Praise God for such a powerful time of ministry. Please pray for us to continue to see a powerful outpouring of the Holy Spirit.   God Bless,

Pastor Shannon Vinsonhaler

We had a great service Sunday morning...wonderful flow of the Spirit of God with a  pretty awesome altar service...especially for a Sunday morning.  God continues to do a powerful work in our lives.

Sunday night, we traveled, about ten of us to hold revival services in Midlothian, Texas at Community of Grace Assembly of God.  The power of God was flowing at one point like honey and then other times like electricity.  Pastor Daniel Timmerman experienced a wonderful refreshing.  One thing I learned is that if God is going to do a powerful work in a church, it has to be first experienced by the pastor.  Wow...did he ever experience something.  He spent about 45 minutes under a blanket of glory and then could hardly get up and get to his seat.  What a way to begin revival services.  Now that God has touched him, it has released the people in the church to experience the same glory.  I can't wait for tonight's service.

Tuesday, July 31 , 2007  Midlothian , Texas        Community of Grace Assembly of God

This was a service that has potential written all over it.  This could be one for the record books.  Pastor Daniel Timmerman has unselfishly given approval for two other churches, two other pastors to use his facility to begin new church plants in his town.  How many other pastors would let not just one but two "competitors" to come in under his roof to work the same field that he is working.  When you look at the booming town of Midlothian, there are enough unsaved and unchurched people to build a hundred new church plants.  All three pastors were in this service and I was able to minister to them and encourage them to work together, flow together and rejoice together.  I preached that God will bless those who build His Kingdom and rather than their own.  After I ministered to them individually, I asked them to minister to one another.  The Holy Spirit came down and kissed this service. Watch carefully what happens in this city when these preachers can not only pray together but also share and encourage one with another.  Go to the weblink and see the pictures and look at additional testimonies.  The Corrigan Revival Goes To Midlothian,Texas
