You had just written your first few books and I bought them all and read them all in the 3 days you were there. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I was so dry. The final day of your conference I went home. My then husband did not attend with me, but when I got home I was surprised.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;He said "Deb you were dead now you are alive".&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I asked "what do you mean"?&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;He went on to use the tomatoe plant we had on our patio as an example. When it needs water badly it hangs over almost as if it is dead. When we water it suddenly it stands tall and strong once again.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;He repeated "you were dead now you are alive. If this is what going to church does for you, you need to attend all the time".&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;It was the Spirit of the living God present that quickened my mortal body!&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Thank you both so much for your dedication to the Lord in bringing the Kingdom of heaven  to earth!&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I love you both,&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Deb</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7128574714400444188/1356835615691772086/comments/default/3770418313232353471'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7128574714400444188/1356835615691772086/comments/default/3770418313232353471'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://messengerinternational.blogspot.com/2009/01/greatest-invitation-of-all-time.html?showComment=1231832650306#c3770418313232353471' title=''/><author><name>Debra</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12293000775005695319</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://messengerinternational.blogspot.com/2009/01/greatest-invitation-of-all-time.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7128574714400444188.post-1356835615691772086' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7128574714400444188/posts/default/1356835615691772086' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7128574714400444188.post-2164573713196257415</id><published>2009-01-11T00:45:21.516-07:00</published><updated>2009-01-11T00:45:21.516-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Hi Rev.

It is only through intimacy with him that i've been able to let go of the things that are of myself. I'm overwelmed with gratitude knowing he desires me and loves me. I want to love him like he loves me. Psalm 34:15 was exactly what I needed to hear today. Thank you for your obedience to God.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7128574714400444188/1356835615691772086/comments/default/4966385696513705569'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7128574714400444188/1356835615691772086/comments/default/4966385696513705569'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://messengerinternational.blogspot.com/2009/01/greatest-invitation-of-all-time.html?showComment=1231317479968#c4966385696513705569' title=''/><author><name>Desrey</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08297692595105478160</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://messengerinternational.blogspot.com/2009/01/greatest-invitation-of-all-time.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7128574714400444188.post-1356835615691772086' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7128574714400444188/posts/default/1356835615691772086' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7128574714400444188.post-5926787297513635047</id><published>2009-01-06T23:49:17.873-07:00</published><updated>2009-01-06T23:49:17.873-07:00</updated><title type='text'>God has always spoiled me with intimacy, talking t...</title><content type='html'>God has always spoiled me with intimacy, talking to me constantly throughout the day.  Lately, though, it hasn't been so constant.  I miss Him but I want to miss Him so much that I actually pursue Him in a way that I never have pursued Him before.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Pray that I will draw near to Him in a way that is precious to Him. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Thanks for your minstry.  I am fed so much from your books.  Tell Lysa I love her and this momma of five girls is so glad to see her raise her boys the way that she does.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;You two fan the flame in us all!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7128574714400444188/1356835615691772086/comments/default/5926787297513635047'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7128574714400444188/1356835615691772086/comments/default/5926787297513635047'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://messengerinternational.blogspot.com/2009/01/greatest-invitation-of-all-time.html?showComment=1231310957873#c5926787297513635047' title=''/><author><name>Mommy Dot Com</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14183707916550822861</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://messengerinternational.blogspot.com/2009/01/greatest-invitation-of-all-time.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7128574714400444188.post-1356835615691772086' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7128574714400444188/posts/default/1356835615691772086' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7128574714400444188.post-5550559783293208570</id><published>2009-01-06T12:34:49.235-07:00</published><updated>2009-01-06T12:34:49.235-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Thanks for sharing.
