Matthew's Party

Many of you were instrumental through your prayer and your participation in what happened in Gloucester this weekend.

So, let me share about it.

Tina and I drove down on Saturday and were greeted as we crossed the bridge into Gloucester by a wave of  "the other presence." I have not experienced that in years. It was difficult. We got to the home we stayed at. It was awesome. Our friends treated us like royalty from the get go. Even had barbecued swordfish(Prophetic I would say.) for us. My favorite.  We just love these folks and ask you to keep them in prayer as they walk the path of seeing God show His face in Gloucester. One of the people there was this sweet young lady from the Philippines who we have "adopted." Our Saturday was so awesome. They drove us around the island.

Earlier that day my brother had called to tell me the difference between Gloucester and Salem Massachusetts is that in Gloucester they have signs telling you what they are into! And he was right. As we drove past the "gay" places, viewed the Moonies stockade, looked at the shops of occult and witchcraft, I could only be reminded that the greater the sin the greater the grace.

We woke up yesterday and once again we were greeted with the blessings of these people in the form of a wonderful breakfast and fellowship.

We left to go to the meeting hall and here is where it gets fun! The meeting was in a hall owned by an organization called the Gloucester Fraternity Club(Check out the link below.) In the corner of this space is a crown and the story of a Portugese tradition called crowning in "memory" of the Holy Spirit. They had told me there is a bar downstairs and while they can come up, the people in the meeting can't go down. Well, I prophesied that they would be touched. And the Holy Ghost can go where no man can go.

And so as the worship was going 4 men came up from downstairs. Now here are all these people of the church and there are 4 men from the bar downstairs. One kept coming in and out, but as I was given the microphone they were drawn to join the meeting! Now these guys have been drinking. I am wondering how God wants to play this. I feel a shift in the atmosphere as God begins to change what I say for these souls. Now understand that these guys are drawn. One said he had never been in a meeting like this. He is watching artists paint and sketch. He stand up and apologizes for interrupting but he can not get over the beauty. I can't tell you how many times he interrupted me, but others said I never missed a beat with him. I shared parts of my testimony and he comes up to shake my hand and hug me---with a beer in his hand! What a picture!

And as I come to the place where I explain I am going to pray and prophesy over people two of these guys jump up and get in line! One of them wanted to tell me something before I prayed for him. I asked if I could pray first. As heaven opened up over him and God revealed things that only He would know this man had nothing more to say.

Some said to me it was like the woman at the well. These men had just witnessed Jesus in person. The prophet had spoken and their lives could not be the same. As this man went to get a ride home people felt he would not be able to shut up. One of the artists gave him her drawing. The overwhelming love of God!

I am so glad sent me for these men.Everything else was awesome but this was the cake. Now I do not suggest you have beer in your building, but church they are coming in, God's spirit is so much more powerful than the spirits these people have carried.

We had new agers, former witches and the like yesterday. God I already want to go back!

I will go anywhere to see God do this. Please God bring them in!

Let's have the parties of the tax collectors be attended by the people of God. Hey, Thanksgiving is right around the corner who knows!

In 2006 I have been asked to work with a conference coming up called "God Loves The Witches."

I am telling you, if we do not change the way we "do" church, God will change the church.

What else they host!
