This was taken during our PRAYER Walk Monday Night. In Genesis Chapter 9 God speaks about the rainbow He placed in the clouds as a reminder of His covenant to Noah and every living creature on the earth. Every time He sees it, He remembers His promise!
What a precious reminder that God ALWAYS keeps HIS Promises!

Each night we are walking around our church facility just like Joshua marched around the city of Jericho. (Joshua 6)
We believe God is going to pull down the walls (barriers) that are keeping us from our destiny!
If you have walls that need to come down in your marriage, business or home and would like to join us we begin each night at 7:00PM. This will continue through Saturday, May 12th.
Post a PRAYER on our Prayer Wall
I hope to see you there!

Today I had the great privilege of leading Jim Underwood to the Lord!
These three men (along with their employer Marvin Fisher) attended our Solemn Assembly today and what a blessing they were to Karen and I. They came to our Solemn Assembly to pray during the 3:00pm-6:00pm prayer watch. We are bombarding heaven with prayers. Please join us as we petition the Lord and humbly make out requests known to Him!
P.S. The Gathering is believing God for a 10 million dollar miracle!

There is no better place I would rather serve than at The Gathering. Today I put on a “parkers” vest and greeted and directed our members and guests as they drove onto our campus this morning!

Worry is Fatal; It Kills You
Carnegie…say’s ½ of the HOSPITAL beds have WORRY lying in them…
Modern life is filled with worries. The words of Robert Frost are100% correct. “The reason why worry kills more people than work is that more people worry than work”. Modern life is paying attention to more and more worries than they work and earn.
Worry is Fatal- Five Reasons
1) It causes only diseases and deathIt is mainly because of the increasing worries that diseases like heart attack, diabetes, ulcer, migraine, etc. are spreading more rapidly in the modern fast life. They lead further to more complications and to earlier death.
2) More and more diseases because of worriesWorry is a great enemy of our ability to live a healthy life physically, socially, intellectually, emotionally and spiritually. It impedes our ability to be creative or think clearly. It leads step by step to chronic ailments, emotional stress, agitation, chaos, turbulent, depression, hypertension, restlessness, difficulty concentrating, fatigue, irritability, bitterness, muscle tension, insomnia, uneasiness, panic symptoms, alcohol and drug abuse, premature aging.
3) Worrying itself is a diseaseWorrying itself is a disease. All of us worry about something or other, necessary and unnecessary. Worry can weaken our body and mind and sicken us, and make our days unbearable. In the modern fast life, worry has become a more complicated disease, leading to many serious diseases. Life has become more insecure because of unnecessarily increasing worries.
4) Worry affects our digestion and makes us appear oldWhat Benjamin Disraeli said about worry is true. “It steals the bloom from the cheek and lightness from the pulse; it takes away the appetite and turns the hair gray.” Worry removes the freshness and vitality of our body and mind and affects the systems of both the body and mind.
5) Worry is a waste of timeWhat is the use of worrying about things that have happened? They will not turn back the hands of time to give you another try at doing it right. It is a mere waste of time. What is the use of unnecessary worries about the future which we are not sure? So that is also a waste of time. Many of our worries are for nothing.
The great Nobel prize winner in medicine, Dr. Alexis Carrel, said, “Businessmen who do not know how to fight worry die young.” And so do housewives and horse doctors and bricklayers.
