Last night and Safe house

Hi folks:

Last night just proved what I believe the Lord said could be. A place
of safety. We had a great time. Once again the food was excellent.
Numbers got exchanged. People plugged in with the children and so I
hope your view was a positive one as well. I think everyone received
prayer. A proper "dating" night!

The word I received was that there would be "safe houses" for the
coming exodus. Healthy places able to minister balm to the needy. My
hope is that as the presence of God continues to show up, people will
not want to miss a Tuesday, but not because we have to, because we
want to. We want to get to the place of safety and anointing where you
will feel comfortable bringing a friend.

That is my heart. That Tuesdays builds relationship for sharpening of
iron, etc. It also made me realize that we will see the next couple
of phases happening soon. We will be reviewing the training center and
the business fellowship part of NEST.

Healing-It seemed like we had a lot of people "absent" last night
because of sickness, etc. We prayed for you guys.October 15-18 there
is a powerful healing conference I want to attend. I think it gels my
position on sickness and healing. Meaning I have seen too few healed
for the amount I see prayed for. I have been reading the book and seen
the change in my physical being. (Many of you remember the inability I
had getting out of bed, etc.)

Finances-many have come under attack in the area of finance. We are
all standing side by side in this. Someone asked about some of our
"expenses." Our expenses are paid by those who offer and tithe into
this ministry. Tina and I believe in the principles of giving and I
think you all do as well. We give not only into this ministry but give
"up." We can only do here on Tuesday nights(Meaning, paper goods,
etc.) and travel what the budget allows for. We have dedicated our
home to the Lord and it is his house. We recently added a business
dimension to our ministry. This supplies money as participation grows
directly into the ministry. The service is a usable one. So, when you
purchase this service you directly benefit PCF Ministries. Business,
schools, ministries and individuals have enjoyed this service for over
30 plus years. It still costs less than a tank of gas. We hope to see
other ministries embrace this .

Looking forward to next week.

Thanks!

Blessings,

Lee & Tina

Building relationships

Hi folks:

Looking forward to seeing everyone tonight.

I feel that because of some "miscommunications" that I want to just
talk about what I see our Tuesday night for.

I called this Deeper Relationships because I do not want to play
church. This is not "church" but being the church. That means each one
of us brings us to the table. Each one of us has a specific need that
the lord wants us to fill. Our vertical(with God) blessing and
relationship is largely contingent on our horizontal(with one another)
blessing and relationships. And the purpose of Tuesday night is to be
"dating service." I do not expect everyone to get everything out of
Tuesday night. What my heart is, is that you will find someone to
"date." Someone you can connect with during the week. Getting
together and drinking a coffee, or sharing some scripture or praying
for one another. Is that not what our "poll" showed? That you wanted
relationships? And through the process of building relationships you
will strengthen the church and be strengthened.

I am saying this so it does not begin to "look" like what we said we
do not want. Deeper Relationships are "painful" sometimes. To think we
do not have time for "pain" or avoid things is not relating as Jesus
did. But i am talking about relationship with purpose. Purposed to
edify and encourage. Purposed to be who God called us to be. So many
of us are "not" where we ant to be. Years ago the Lord showed me I am
right where I want to be by my choices. Don't you and I want to make
better choices? Would we have gone down the paths we did if we knew
some of the things we know now? I see through a glass darkly and so do
you. But as we encircle that glass together we "see" more better!

And if you invited me to a picnic and told me to bring the food and I
showed up empty handed we would not eat. It is the same with praying
with one another. We need to to understand that each one of us has the
ability to bless one another with our gifts. Let us not come thinking
we are without gifts and offerings. We want to be like Yogi Bear and
bring that piiiiiiiicnic basket! Right BooBoo?

I am a little bit selfish about Tuesday. Tina and I need prayer. We
need "help." We need our phones to ring. We need you!

Is anyone exactly like me? do you have the same needs as someone else?
Probably not. We can have a parents with children group, a singles
group, a recovery group, but that is not what many of us want right
now. We want Deeper Relationships. And that will include singles,
teens and adults. How do children or teens "grow" without learning to
be around adults? How do the "old" stay young without kids? How do the
singles learn about marriage without watching it in motion? How do
couples learn to be better without older couples? I think it is more
likely caught than taught.

Personally, I want people on the move, but I have learned how to be
with people who are not "moving."

I received a lot of words yesterday from a prophet. Part of the word
went like this. The Lord is preparing a church for an exodus. Many
will leave traditional places. It will not happen until there is a
place to exodus to. A place of provision and miracles. And all the
Hebrew people walked through that wilderness. They were on a mission.
Let us not be derailed by the same things that caused them problems.
We need to be that safe place. It is not that we necessarily will
agree with everything each one does, but we can still be a safe house.

Let us love one another as Jesus loved us.

Thanks!

Blessings,

Lee & Tina

Tuesday night coming up!

Hi folks:

Reminder that we will be meeting tomorrow night at 6 PM. Dinner will
be what you bring. As before we bring enough for your family and one
more.

We will be devoting a portion of our prayer to the children. I think
many of us feel we need to help them become involved and so we really
need to walk this out as our ceiling is their floor.

Anyone interested in helping out with the worship, please let me know.
We had a sweet time last week. Hope you can bring someone!

Many thanks for all the cool letters last week. Also, if you want
others to know your phone number or email, tomorrow we will pass a
sheet of paper around.

I met with a prophet in the region this morning for coffee and he had
encouraging words for us here in Springfield and this area.

Thanks!

Blessings,

Lee & Tina

Tuesday night comments and thanks

Hi folks:

Thanks for being there for the first "Deeper Relationships" gathering.
Over 20 people showed.

(We need your input-see below.)

One of the concerns was food. You guys did awesome! Kudos for the
great vittles.

Thank you Jannette, Randy and Matt for the worship. We all agreed that
somewhere about halfway through the second song, God manifested His
presence in a wonderful way. And as I overheard the praying for one
another, I was encouraged and hope you were. We had people who are
just vying for something greater than getting together.

My prayer has been that there would be a "stickiness" of God
manifested in this Tuesday meeting where it would be harder to not be
there,

Some thoughts.

Many of us came hungry and thirsty for the Lord to show up. One of my
hopes out of Tuesday night is that we will want to show up and we will
want to be part of the process. Remember we are trying to break away
from the "go to church and get something and go home home" mode. We
want to be used by God with our brothers and sisters and then bring it
to the communities we live in. If not the gathering will be peter out.
So, please don't just come expecting, but come with a willingness to
give. Most of us have said we want a "safe" place to bring friends. If
it is the same old, it will never work.

Deeper relationships has a 2 level meaning. It signifies how close we
get to God but it also has an implication that we build relationships
with one another. It is a biblical statement that we do not forsake
the gathering of the brethren. Often really good for getting people to
church, but how about during the week. So many of us have busy
schedules, but if we do not "sacrifice" for one another what happens?
Experience tells me children walk away from the Lord, marriages
weaken, sickness increases and finances lack if we do not figure these
things out. (Each one of those is provable in scripture.) We must not
wrongly discern the body of Christ. (1 Cor. 11-Isn't it possible it is
more meaningful than "communion?") If we don"t figure out some way of
being in communication with one another other than Tuesday night,
Tuesday night will probably be rendered meaningless. at some point.
Get together with someone you met last night.

One of the biggest complaints of children in the church is that they
do not think we walk out our Christianity. They often sense hypocrisy.
The greatest 2 commandments were love God and love thy neighbor. I
feel that we must get this right in the case of loving one another. In
the case of the children, they need to know the love of adults. It
provides safety and comfort for them. We want more relationship with
God. Each day I meet with people of God for the purpose of building
bridges and strengthening relationships. People want to see real
relationships.

What would our communities look like if we began to reach out for
relationships?

Prayer-please keep LuAnn in prayer as she spent a lot of time in the
hospital over what appeared to be heart related. (The reason her and
Jim weren't there.)

You can post your response on the blog, or write or call Tina and I,
but input is good for us.

Thanks!

Blessings,

Lee & Tina

Deliver me from this email program!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi local folks-

Some follow up for tomorrow night.

We will begin with food at 6 sharp, though if you are running late, do
not be embarrassed. See previous notes on food at the blog site listed
below.

We have some really wonderful people helping out with worship tomorrow
night. She has always been one of my favorite worshippers. We have
made room in our living room for lots of people.

Prayer-we will be praying as I mentioned the other day for each other.

Prayer requests-

homeless daughter and 2 kids

vehicle for family of 7

couple starting new business

And here is one that seems to be going around. Former spouses causing
problems for people. I have been here myself, so I have lots of
compassion. For whatever reasons we are apart. God's grace is
sufficient.

See you all tomorrow night!

Thanks!

Blessings,

Lee & Tina

Tuesday night meeting begins 9/19 Clarifiers and time

Hi local folks-

Meal-Bring a dish for you and a portion for one other. I am not sure
how else to communicate it. If you eat one sandwich, bring a second so
that if we have another person who has no food we can share.. We
should tell you-you can use our grill if you want and we have a
stove-no oven-it is broken, but we can do a mean microwave if you
bring a casserole or something. Salads are good. And bring a drink. We
will have water and ice tea.

Music-I am looking for people who would not mind playing a keyboard or
strumming a guitar to invite the presence of the Lord upon us. Let me
know if you would be interested in bringing your gift in this realm.
We are working on getting an amplifier to use for this and we have a
small keyboard.

Meal and meeting begins at 6PM.

Side note-for the last week or so not a day goes by without me
connecting with an unbeliever. Today was no different. I picked up a
hitch hiker and ende up discussing the Lord with him. I pray you get
the same opportunity.

YOUNG PEOPLE-How many have the heart of the Lord for youth? I am
unraveling some thoughts as part of Deeper Relationships and NEST. If
this is you, let me know. I think if enough of us got together on this
we could change some things. And we could have some awesome fun. And
all the otters said AMEN! Check out this link and you will know why I
have always put emphasis on this...

Tuesday night meeting begins 9/19

Hi local folks-

Next week we will begin our deeper relationship meetings here at the
house. This will be on Tuesdays. We will be having a meal, worship and
prayer. The major prayer focus will be praying for one
another(Everyone gets prayer) with an emphasis on FINANCE for you.
Most are saved and healed but when I do altar calls, it is usually
about 99% with 1% reserved for those who have pride and never come up
for an altar call.

We will have a meal, It will be a pot blessing. Rule is simple. Bring
enough for your family need in one dish and one other. I expect that
we will have others who do not have money showing.

Children-we have no "childcare" but I believe having food will be ok
with them. Most children are great during worship and times of prayer,
so I believe we will be ok here. There will be no teaching in this
meeting.

We will identify prayer needs and pursue them. I may post a white
board with prayer requests and you can add as we go along. The
emphasis though, is seeing people healthy and prosperous.

If you need directions call me!

(Many of you saw that Todd Bentley had a heart attack this week. There
are root causes to all illness and his is no different. Begin to
believe for healing for him and for those that gather with us on
Tuesday.)

Thanks!

Blessings,

Lee & Tina
