Bud and Elaine Bonn, Regional Directors hosted a Healing Rooms Conference with Cal Pierce and Tom and Sharon Murphy in Brooklyn Center (Minneapolis area), Minnesota July 7 - 9.

Tom and Sharon shared about their recent trip to Bogota, Columbia and how they led a Healing Rooms Training for those who were starting or wanting to start up Healing Rooms in Columbia. As it turns out, the Healing Rooms in Bogota was opening as they spoke in Brooklyn Center. Praise the Lord!

As Directors of Land Teams and Transformation Prayer Teams for the Healing Rooms Ministries, they spoke of training people how to effectively remove defilement on the land and people. They said the key is releasing forgiveness in our office as 'royal priests' that brings true transformation and healing.

Cal spoke of a '5^th Great End-time Awakening' - coming! - a time of 'no fear', but of cooperating with vision for what God is preparing - that we will either be a traumatized Church or an expectant church. He said the Church is expecting, but has been stuck in the waiting room; that the Great Physician isn't in the waiting room, but the Delivery room and God is going to move them into the Delivery room. He said it is time for the church to move from the natural reality into a Kingdom reality. This message, which was recorded, will be available on CD by calling the Healing Rooms Ministries at 509-456-0517 and asking for the Product Dept. Availability and pricing begins August 8^th.

Cal then flew on to Springfield, Massachusetts, where his wife Michelle joined him, along with Region 1 Director Barbara Rispoli and Springfield Directors Jeff and Michele Folkins. Many Directors attended both from Massachusetts and Connecticut.

The Springfield Healing Rooms are young, however they are experiencing good results. Recently, one older deaf and mute man who had never heard or spoken a word, spoke out the name of Jesus clearly and succinctly. Glory be to God!

Next stops are Chicago, speaking at the Wagner Leadership Institute and California, where Cal will continue to exhort, encourage and build up Teams in the Santa Maria area. Region 7 Directors, Rick and Lori Taylor, are hosting the event for many area leaders.

Our next Guest Speaker at the Conference and Training Center here will be Harold Eberle on July 29-30, 7:00 PM. Harold and Linda Eberle were pastoring a church in the Northwest US, when he felt a call to prayer. After three months dedicated to seeking God, Harold had a visitation during which he became convinced that before the return of Jesus, the Church will rise up in victory, maturity, and glory. That experience launched him into a worldwide ministry to which he has been giving his life ever since. Harold is received as a teacher and prophet in churches around the world. He is a popular conference speaker and visiting instructor at numerous Bible Colleges.

During his extensive work in Africa, he has helped establish eleven Bible colleges where Africans are equipped and sent out to pastor and evangelize in villages of seven countries in central Africa.  Recently Harold has been directing his heart toward the Middle East, with a vision to win Muslims to Jesus Christ.

On August 25-26, we will host Guest Speaker Kevin Dedmon from Bethel Church in Redding, CA.

Kevin has been in pastoral ministry for over 25 years and has a B.A. in Biblical Studies and a M.A. degree in Church Leadership from Vanguard University. Kevin conducts Supernatural Lifestyle Conferences in which people are equipped, empowered, and activated in miracles, healing, prophetic, and evangelism as a normal lifestyle of the believer. Kevin also oversees the Firestarter Class, which equips and empowers newcomers and new believers to live as revivalists - healing the sick, prophesying, and supernatural evangelism. He is also the director of Bethel Church's Firestorm ministry, which sends teams to local churches for the purpose of demonstrating the revival culture of Bethel Church, as well as imparting, empowering, and activating the church to live naturally in the supernatural, so that the atmosphere in both the church and the community is transformed. Kevin also speaks at conferences and churches world wide, focusing on healing and supernatural evangelism. He also teaches revival theology in the School of Supernatural Ministry, and trains new believers and new members in a revival supernatural lifestyle in his Firestarter's class at Bethel Church. Kevin is the author of The Ultimate Treasure Hunt, and Unlocking Heaven: Keys to Living Naturally Supernatural

Living an Unoffended Life

Lynda Morrision

Living An Unoffended Life

Quite frankly, as I write this, I am really struggling to live what I preach. Living an unoffended life is not for the faint of heart, it is a daily choice. And when it comes right down to it, people will (disturbingly often) still be... people. So we must truly (in actions and not just words) walk in the light as He is in the light if we are to have unbroken fellowship with our brothers and sisters. (1 Jn 1:7)

All being offended truly means is that you are offend-able. Anyone can choose to be unoffendable, if they really want to be. (1 Pet 4:8)

I wish I could say that this revelation will make you faster, stronger and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, but I can say it will make you better, wiser, more Christ-like in action and will allow you to practice the lost art of humility - saying only what you hear the Father saying and doing only what you see the Father doing. (Jn 5:19)

The first key to living an unoffendable life is learning to keep your mouth shut. (Jas 1:19) At least long enough to allow the sanity to return to your mind and heart and give the Spirit a chance to get a word in edgewise. (Isa 26:3) This is in no way a commentary on whether or not what was said or done to you was correct, it merely gives you the chance to remember who you are (2 Cor 3:18) and that mere moments ago you vowed that by God's grace you are now unoffendable! (Jas 1:23-25)

A second key is actually remembering who you are, according to who God says you are, not according to your past, your own feelings or what someone just said you are but who you truly are in Christ. I am fearfully and wonderfully made (Ps 139:14), I have the mind of Christ (Phil 2:5), just as He is, so am I in this world (1 Jn 4:17), the love of God has been poured out in my heart (Rom 5:5) and since God is for me, who can be against me? (Rom 8:31)

A third (and possibly most important) key is reminding yourself who they are. (2 Cor 5:16) They are not the enemy; foolish, uncaring, possibly even cruel at the moment perhaps, but not the enemy. (2 Cor 10:3-5) When we take an offense, we essentially bind that person into the sin they have committed (1 Cor 10:32) and ourselves into a prison of hurt and anger but when we overlook and forgive, we set them (and ourselves) free. (Job 22:30)

Which of us has not said or done something that we regretted and wished we could take back? In a perfect world we would be given grace to apologize and be forgiven and the incident rewritten for everyone's good. My purpose in choosing to be unoffendable is to sow for that which I may later need to reap - grace and mercy and forgiveness. And perhaps I may also make a new friend and live a peace-filled, less stressful life along the way...
