TRANSFORMING YOUR WORLD

Greetings and Blessings to all;
Awesome! Simply Awesome! That is the best way I can describe the first TMI-ATL service at the new location in the Jonesboro, Riverdale, Fayettville area on GA Hwy 85. From the opening Praise & Worship, to the Dance Ministry, to a solo, to the Word and the explosive outpouring of the Spirit of God, it was evident that God was confirming and validating this new tabernacle. It was also clear that we will not tabernacle there for long. Even this new space will soon become too limited. I remain amazed and thankful at how those who are a part of TMI are working so hard and in such unity that we have seen the incredible favor of God. While there is still much needed in and for this physical location the members of TMI believe that God will provide. He does so through the prayers and generosity of many within, friends of TMI, and those who simply see and believe in the vision. God will continue to provide, even in these very difficult economic times.
The Strategic Plan is an aggressive plan but one that was developed with much prayer and hard work. The Intercessory Prayer Ministry will continue to lead in praying for the unfolding of God's plan. The Elders will give oversight and hold accountable those responsible for the completion of their part of the plan. There are specific target/completion dates through the next seven years. Most will be met on or before those dates. Some 2010 targets are already well on their way to completion.
The message for this first service in the new tabernacle came from the same passage used as the concluding message at the previous location. Exodus 40:36-38 was the concluding text at the prior location and Exodus 40:34,35 was the opening text for the new location. A tiny bit of the point of the message: When a cloud settles over the land we call it fog. Dense fog will cause you to not be able to see your way. It can be frighting. You have little control over where you can safely drive. When the cloud of God settles, its very similar. You have little control. It can become frightening when you have a need for control but have none. You become solely and completely dependent on Him to guide us. Smog is very similar except it is a man made cloud that when it settles over the land (as in some cities) its hard to see in front of you. In God's fog, when you breath, your breathing His glory. In man's smog, you breath man's poison. Unfortunately, many churches have created their own smog and declared it God's fog. They can't figure out why there is little anointing, so much back biting, so many factions and power struggles, few leaders praying together for the ministry and little spiritual growth. After a while the poison killing them becomes normal and if the cloud of God dare show, it is rejected as strange. Trust in the Lord with all your heart........and He will direct your path (even when you can't see your way in His cloud).
God Bless you all.
