Conference report

I attended a Men's conference in Cincinnati this past weekend
at the Covenant Apostolic Church, pastored by Joe and David Sizemore.
What a great time I had!  This meeting was attended by ALJC, UPCI, and
PAW members.  The Friday night speaker was Bro Rex Johnson from
Austin Texas.  He spoke on many things but one thing that stuck out
was the topic of unity!!  He walked up to a black brother and being very
straight forward said that it was time for some of the white brothers to
quit looking down upon the black brothers and apologize.  The only thing
that seperates the ALJC, UPCI, and the PAW are simple little piddly
things.  He went on to speak about the mercy seat.  To cherobs are placed
at one side
and the other of the mercy seat.  They are looking down at the mercy seat
while their wings are touching overhead.  That is how we as Oneness
believers
are.  As the cherobs, we might not be seeing eye to eye, yet we are
striving
for the same mercy seat!!!  Never take your eyes off it!  
Saturday morning, Elder Lavelton Daniel from the nearby PAW church
preached.
Another outstanding sermon!!!  Just to pass along a funny situation
during the
sermon, Bro. Daniels talked about a church he preached at one time where 
they asked him to shave his beard.  He did and preached there.  A few
weeks
later that church was caught up in a scandle.  Later Bro Johnson told Bro
Daniels that he would love to have him come to preach for him.  Bro
Daniels
said, "I will come and preach, but brother, I won't shave!"  That night
when
Bro Johnsons preached, he looked at Bro Daniels, and said, "I would love
to come and preach for you and I would even grow a beard!!!"  The lunch
break
that afternoon was cut short because of the powerful moving of the Holy
Ghost!
The break for  lunch was to be at 11:45, but we didnt leave until around
12:30.
That late afternoon Bro Johnson preached on the first part of the
annointing.
It is Joy!  He said if he is invited back next year, he will speak on the
second of
three parts of the annointing.  Nothing like keeping someone in suspense!
After Bro Johnson was done, he quickly left to catch a plane back to
Texas.
The rest of us had a line for annointing.  EVERYONE in the meeting was 
annointed!  God moved so great!  God IS great!  
One more funny thing to pass along.  I recieved word Tuesday that
Bro Johnson missed his flight back to Texas that afternoon.  I am
not surprised.  He only said he was ending his sermon about 5 times!
When you feel the presence of the Holy Ghost, it is hard to drop things
and catch a plane.

Well folks, they are talking about having one next year so keep an eye
open!

God Bless,
