What A Mighty God We Serve!

Greeting to all in Jesus name! I am finally going to post a few of the events that happened on my past trip to the Philippines. First let me start of my saying a BIG thank you to my loving and supportive wife, the apple of my eye and the "better half". It is not easy to be gone for 10 to 14 day's on the other side of the world, with limited contact and mostly bad phone connections. That is just my part, but as for her she is here holding down the fort, maintaining life and doing what needs to be done to maintain a home and a church. Andrea, thank you and I love you! Also I need to say thank you to the wonderful church I am so privileged to pastor, The Pentecostals of Vacaville. Not only do they support me with fasting and prayer, but they also support a large part of the fiances so that I am able to go and expand God's Kingdom. I am constantly amazed at their generosity both in spirit and resources. There is no greater giving church, in my "unbiased" opinion( I'm sure you believe there is no prejudiced in that comment) than the church God has blessed us to be apart of! Not only do they give, but they allow me to be gone for that amount of time without a fuss or guilt trip. I thank God for a church who has a global vision, and understands that we must be about the Fathers business. And while I'm gone they have awesome church! I'm sure you've all heard that old expression "When the cats away the mice will play", referring to saints not showing up to church or not trying to have a move of God while the pastors away. Well, that is not true here thank the Lord. They have a relationship with Jesus, not just their pastor! I know I probably sound like I'm bragging and pouring over The Pentecostals of Vacaville, and if that's what your thinking....YOU ARE RIGHT! So, thank you home church I love you! I felt that I needed to give honor where it is due. So, let me say thanks to a great assistant pastor Bro. Kory Chase, who does a tremendous job of leading the church in my absence. And to all the other lay ministers in our local assembly thank you!


I arrived on a Tuesday morning in Manila, PI. Pastor Midoz Sorima(my twin brother, lol) picks me up at the airport and we drive two and a half hours to Dasmarinas, Cavite. I checked into the hotel got a little nap and off to service we went. Folks, I preached this same camp last year and knew how passionate and hungry for God they can be. But nothing prepared me for the intensity and power of anticipation that was in that place. I have no words to convey the atmosphere! Remember that was just the first night, and just the tip of the iceberg! It was intense!

Now, I'm not going to go night by night, there is way to much to try and tell. So, I'll just tell you the end results and let you go to youtube.com to catch a glimpse of what words cannot describe. There were many healings both notable and documented. Miracles that rage from healing to deliverance to(believe it or not) control of the elements! I'll get to that last one later. There were young people freed from demonic oppression and possession! Jesus was at work!

I will post part two of this later.

I am mainly on face book now you can follow there, or tweeter.
It really beats blogging, sorry ;-)

Missions Conference In Santa Maria, CA

What a great time we had at Missions Conference in Santa Maria, CA. Bro. Markem and myself were the speakers for this meeting and we had a lot of fun. I had not known Bro. Markem before this conference. I had only heard about what a great man he is and the awesome things he has done on the mission field in Brazil, Spain and Portugal. Basically he built these from the ground up. What an amazing work he is doing for Jesus. Bro. Markem ministered the word to us on Friday night(he about preached everything God had given me for Saturday night), and I must say it was a timely word for us all. He preached on "Don't Be Afraid", I think everyone should listen to this message. I preached Saturday night, and then Bro. Markem preached on Sunday morning. And again he delivered a sure word about the "Qualities Of Gold", what a beautiful message! Then Sunday night I finished it up.
The purpose of Missions Conference is to get us focused on the "Great Commission" of reaching the world. Another goal of the meeting is to raise money to finance the propagation of the Gospel worldwide by sending missionaries, building churches, getting food to the poor, buying necessities for the churches both at home in America and overseas. I'm humbled to report to you that on Sunday night(just a little news flash- Santa Maria is one of the most giving est churches I've ever seen and God blesses them for it) the church in Santa Maria, CA Pastored by Elder Rick Keyes gave well over $125,000 for missions! Praise God! We also had a few people receive the Holy Ghost, and some backsliders were refilled!
My wife and I love to go to Santa Maria, it's like our other home. You won't find any better people than Bro. & Sis. Keyes, they are the BEST! We affectionately call them "Mom & Pop Keyes", and the reason for that is because for years now I've been very close to them, and after Andrea and I got married she felt the same way too. Bro. Keyes was was one of the two ministers(Bro. Price the second) who married us. Now, when we get to Santa Maria and walk in the door we let all cares pass away, let our hair down and just have a lot of fun! So, to be with Bro. Markem(who just fits right in the way we do) and the Keyes at the same time for one weekend under one roof, it was awesome!
Remember, give to missions both Home, and Foreign!

" The Sting of Truth"

" The sting in any rebuke is TRUTH."
- Benjamin Franklin

I can almost hear it now "Oh no, here is another rookie blogger along with the millions of others who thinks that he or she is going to enlighten us all with the profound wisdom of the ages. So great the intellect that if all the world could just read this we would all stagger with amazement at this newly discovered genius with utterances so profound, that we should make him the leader of the free world!." If this is what your thinking well, that's who I am, the voice of wisdom you've all been seeking! LOL! I'm hardly that at all, really I'm just here writing and calling it as I see it. I must warn you, though I'll never intentionally seek too offend anyone, it may happen. Thus, the reason for this blog "The Sting Of Truth".

You must understand it isn't my particular views or beliefs that might sting, but rather the TRUTH of it will. I have come to understand that there is a great and profound paradox to TRUTH. For example, TRUTH in a courtroom will liberate one man while simultaneously incarcerating the other. Yes, depending on which side of TRUTH your on will totally determine your response to it.

If your on the right side of TRUTH, you'll love it, but on the wrong side of it and you'll hate it. Appreciate it or appalled by it, enlightened because of it or exposed by it, embrace it or reject it, be sheltered in it or shatter by it, TRUTH will cause a reaction in us all, for better or for worse. There is no grey area in TRUTH, it is black or white. TRUTH is not moved by feelings, nor does TRUTH change because of opinion. TRUTH does not seek to be popular, it just is what it is and will not apologize for that. TRUTH will not change for acceptance, but rather you must change to accept TRUTH. The wonderful thing about TRUTH is that it is not racist, partial, or bigoted it is the same to each and to everyone of us. TRUTH is absolute even though this generation is taught that there are no absolutes, and what's true for one may not be true for others. We must realize that what is true for one is TRUTH for all!

So, from now on when you read my entrees, read them through this prism, that I seek for truth in any situation. I'm looking for the absolute in every event. I hope you'll find the TRUTH in all the issues I may choose to write about, because I am. Remember what Jesus says in John 8:32 " And ye shall know the TRUTH, and the TRUTH shall make you free"
