In the “pastor/guest speaker” culture, it’s usually customary that on the eve before the guest speaker speaks at the pastor’s church, that the pastor takes him out to eat at a steak house (or restaurant the represents the culture of the geographical location) LOL! I followed these unwritten rules of the culture last night. We have Tim Redmond of Redmond Leadership Institute coming to share and minister this morning. And I’ll tell you… I’ve never had a dinner meeting like I had last night!
I’ve had all kinds of men and women from various backgrounds and spiritual gifts in the last 10m years do this “pre-preach” dinner custom, but I’ve never had the experience like I did last night!
At first we had our typical small talk as we were quickly indexing information and trying to figure out angles on personality and motives. But finally, as we got into the nitty-gritty of our conversation, the prophetic gift of Tim Redmond began to fire away. I’ll tell you… I’ve never been so profiled, as I was last night! Talk about “hitting the nail on the head!” I finally saw some things about my life that I could not have noticed on my own! Only a person with a strong prophetic gift and a very good understanding of leadership can do such things. He hasn’t begun yet, but I’m already glad I have him as a gust speaker!
I sense in my spirit that today, tonight and Monday night are going to be powerful times!
Come expecting!
