Couple of things...

I'm about to go into the Wednesday night service @ CITNE (we're finishing Luke In The Now, Chapter 1 tonight)...but I wanted to tell those of you streamers who have asked about getting/hearing the full blessing at the end of the service...as it turns out, the streaming has been going to the end all along...at the end of the teaching, you will notice a “fade to black” and loss of sound that is necessary for closing out our DVDs...for viewing the entire service, if you'll just wait a few seconds, the stream will return, and you can get the whole thing...

And others have asked about MP3 capability for all recorded services...here's the deal on that...while we upgrade all of our media systems, all products and media, including MP3s, can be ordered by calling (770) 922-5334 x113...the new website is a little different from the old one, so we're gradually adapting all of that for the current system...

One more thing...many of you have asked about the daily A Year In The Now returning to the church website, and we're actually working on an AYITN app for your cell phone so you can have it wherever you go!

Remeber, we're receiving Communion tomorrow night (out first) at CITN MIDTOWN...got to go...church is starting...

Hey you. Sorry I missed tonight. However, the cut off of the blessing or prayer at the very end of the service is totally separate from the "fade to black". The service goes on for sometimes 10-15 minutes after that. (which is family time, in my book) But the "complaint" is not about the fade. Some one pulls the plug at the VERY end of the service when you start the blessing and say "you're blessed when you come in... You're above and not beneath... You're going to wake up tomorrow and say "this is the day..."
And then it says OFFLINE.
Btw, it did not happen this past Sunday. You mentioned it, and no one pulled the plug. And what an AWESOME blessing you gave. I was on my feet, hands in the air, and tears streaming.

From Abraham-Hicks daily quote...
What a confirmation to what we heard last night about OT scary God...and modern society's obsession with punishment...

You are all perfect and expanding; you are all adored and worthy; you are all here having your exposure to experiences and doing the best that you can from where you are. You have not been sent here in a test or trial; you're here as creators as part of an expanding Universe. You can't have it both ways. You can't have, at the root of that which you are, Well-Being, and then have that same root of Well-Being have the capacity to pronounce you evil. It is vibrationally impossible. That judging, vengeful God is manufactured from humans' place of deepest despair.

Jere is correct Bishop, the fade to black is not the problem, it is during the blessing the stream goes to OFFLINE, just so you know.

Bishop Jim Swilley said...

OK...thanks...will let the TV people know...

Talk about divine order & things that make you say hmmmmmmmmm...
My inner voice just brought me a thought that confirms why you are so joyful the past few days and especially why your teaching last night was about conception, pregnancy and birth...
Do you know that last night is the 40th week anniversary (the length of a full-term pregnancy) of your much publicized Wed night last October...
Talk about synchronicity...can't wait to see the miraculous birth that is coming forth NOW...

Bishop Jim Swilley said...

Wow...just gave me chills...the good kind...just, wow...

Part 2 (from this morning's service) of what I heard about the birth that is coming forth NOW...
Your original, natural birth was challenging, difficult, backwards and painful...
Your current spiritual, supernatural re-birth is the exact opposite of that...
What you (we) are birthing NOW is comfortable, easy, forward moving and painless...
Watch and see...
Your dreams and visions are being handed to you on a silver platter...
Our collective ministry will reach the unreachable and touch the untouchable...
And THRIVE...
GOD is looking for people just like US...those that worship in spirit and in truth, without pretense, without costumes, without agendas, without rules, without judgement, without labels, without suffering, without effort...
Life is easy...Life is good!

Another thing that makes me say hmmmmmmmm....
Since you coined the phrase that we must rightly divide not wrongly connect...
I find it interesting the polar opposites that come forth in this statement...
Division (separation) must be done rightly and connection (unification) must not be done wrongly...only a spirit-led existence will effectively navigate this trail...
Keep hearing and leading us as we move forward...
We are knitting together a group of individuals that are "whole" and able to offer an easier way to a new generation that is free from the world system as it is and as it has been...
Let us create a new world system...

You have heard it said...
You are altogether lovely,
altogether worthy,
altogether wonderful to me...
But I say...
We are all together lovely,
all together worthy,
all together wonderful to me..
It is in our celebration (worship, if you will) of our unity that we finally recognize our worthiness and separation no longer exists...
Let us no longer say that we are not deserving of God's love, but realize that we absolutely deserve it by virtue of who we are, we are God as we unite and agree to love each other and allow each other to just BE exactly who we are...

I was a member of Church in the Now for a while but me and my family haven't attended for quite a bit. We went back to today for my best friend's best birthday who was a first time visitor. I knew I had missed attending here but I haven't realized just how much. It felt like my family and I came back home and although I can't speak for my friend and sister, I think she found one as well.
