Pastor Gloria confirmed that she and Pastor Al saw the cloud also, on the CITN blog this morning so I have studied a few scriptures out. Here is a few, that I am sure you know ....Then the cloud covered the tent of Meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled ther tabernacle! Ex 40:34...I was reading this and I see the Lord was playing from your playlist, I believed the Lord was speaking through this so here's what the Lord showed me.<BR/><BR/>In Exodus 33, when Moses was entreating the Lord to show him His glory the Lord replied in verse 19..."I will case all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the Lord, in your presence, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. <BR/>"But", he said "you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live."<BR/>My spirit has been crying out for mercy for the body of CITN as I am hearing about foreclosures and financial problems and divorce issues and asking the Lord for mercy and grace for our body. Here we experience the gooness of God's nature and character. Here his name imples his mercy and grace and his copassion/Also in romans 9:15 - Paul says..For he says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion v16It does not, therefore, depend on man's desire or effort, but on God's mercy......<BR/><BR/>Then the Lord said, "There is a place near me where you may stand on a rock, ina cleft in the rock and voer you with my hand until I have passed by. Then I will remove my hand and you will see my back' but my face must not be seen"<BR/><BR/>May the Lord go before (all in all)this day and every day..in everything, in every way and that we will embrace His (I amness)...Peace and blessings YvonneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96114027914038785.post-57229451841391143802008-03-08T20:01:00.000-05:002008-03-08T20:01:00.000-05:00Mom Darlene and Dad Swilley: you are soooo cool an...Mom Darlene and Dad Swilley: you are soooo cool and real!

Right back at you. Bish, I bless you and your household and your seed and your ministry and your gifts and your books and your writings and your artwork and your worship and your humor and the nations that you will minister to, to your sons and daughters in the ministry, to all the ministers you cover and all the ministries you cover and to all of your influence over your earth and to everywhere you place your foot. I bless every blog you write, every comment you respond to, every revision you make to your playlist, every new and witty invention and everyone's lives who are impacted by the blog.<BR/><BR/>And I bless you, in the name of Jesus. <BR/><BR/>Forgive me for doubting that this reincarnation of the first blog is just getting gooder and gooder!

I say associated because we have retired,and moved to covington and attend CITN.We have learned even more of God's word in a depth we could not have imagined possible!We could not be prouder of the host of this blog, and want to pronounce our blessings on him and all the words to proceed on this blog, and to say to you should antiicipate greater blessings coming..Move your stakes on out and live in spiritual anticipation for what God will continue, in His time, to do. We congratulate you on your ability and anointing to speak, quote, and live the word in our presence.I am also thankful for your diligence in trying to better explain your position on all topics that have been discussed here...and also to try and explain our positions regarding personal transitions. Now, in closing you will understand why we, his father and I are so thankful to be able to now see, up close, what God is doing here. Again we could not be more blessed and indeed thankful for all this. Keep up the good work son....(our greatest accomplishment in life)...this message comes from Mother Darlene and of course Jim Swilley, Sr.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96114027914038785.post-41448411126757165722008-03-07T19:41:00.000-05:002008-03-07T19:41:00.000-05:00Hey guys!All day long i have been hearing about Am...Hey guys!<BR/>All day long i have been hearing about America being in a recession, how gas prices are soaring and the people's pockets are becoming more and more empty. Have people forgot that God is still God and that he will supply all of our needs?! Do you wanna know what recession really means to me? It means that God is about to do something big and something so crazy and radical far beyond what we can even phathom! So for those of us who still know that God is still in control be blessed@ And to those who seem to have forgotten and put this "recession" over your God don't tell God about this recession tell this recession about your God!!Teezy313https://www.blogger.com/profile/00604007610764010771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96114027914038785.post-19737187825482164992008-03-07T17:18:00.000-05:002008-03-07T17:18:00.000-05:00WOW, INDEED!

Bish, you know a little about what my dad has been through... and other CITNers may remember my requests for prayer concerning him.<BR/>(I don't know who some of you are on this blog site, and it's killing me. I've figured out a couple, and I THINK I know some, but ?!?!?) Anyway, Dad had another scan a week or two ago & just had the consultation today. He's still very stable, PTL! The spots on his lungs actually look a BIT smaller, there is no fluid build-up, no spread. He hasn't had chemo for about 3 weeks now, and they are giving him 2 months off... after which they will do another scan to see where things stand. Right now, it's there but it's dormant. So that was some really good news!!!<BR/><BR/>I have my consultation on March 14 at 10:45. The radiologist thinks there is nothing to worry about, but a surgeon will know by the xrays whether a precautionary biopsy is in order. Hope not, but on the other hand, I might want this alien thing removed anyway!<BR/><BR/>WHERE'S MY LOLLIPOP?!? And I don't mean a "Dum-Dum," either... that's a "sucker" :) I'm talking about one of those flat, thick sour apple CHARM pops! (Whatever happened to those?) YUM! I think I deserve one :p<BR/><BR/>BE BLESSED!Lisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932493609720918077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96114027914038785.post-58558480248185607732008-03-07T17:09:00.000-05:002008-03-07T17:09:00.000-05:00Thank you, Bish,Re: "go fearlessly into the next “...Thank you, Bish,<BR/><BR/>Re: "go fearlessly into the next “glory” with a VISION for a brighter future.."

I don't know if he'll ever read this but Pastor Jimmie commanded blessings upon the Nation Of Worship during rehearsal today and immediately following rehearsal I heard testimonies from various members of the NOW about how God has already been good and how the blessing that P.Jimmie commanded upon us was already predestined even before it was said! Ain't God good?! Which only means that everyone who's blessing has yet to come.....well let's just say God is gettin' ready to "show up and show out!" Bloggers In The Now...are ya'll ready for a serious move of God and an outpour of his love and blessings? As we approach spring I speak life to everyone...life to everything that concerns you...It's a NOW season with a NOW annointing and it's a NOW day!!
