The Lord gave me this Scripture during this hour the other night:

"For whatever is born of God overcomes the world and this is the victory that has overcome the world - our faith." 1 John 5:4

All that was born the other night came out of faith - rest assured, it will overcome the world! Let's pray and believe!

ALL NIGHT PRAYER Tonight!

Tonight will be a night of the ages here at theTURN! We are combining theNINE and theTURN for the second all-night prayer service...

You have never been to a night like this - I can assure you! You do not want to miss it unless of course, you don't want to have the best time of your life. We will be interacting all night long with all types of different prayer.

It is an experience like no other to discipline ourselves at the foot of the Cross to fix ourselves on Him for hours...it will engage you, cause you to laugh, cause to you cry, cause you to smile, and compel you to love!

I will see each of you tonight at the north campus starting at 10pm! Come when you can....

Bring your Bibles!

Much love,
pcraig

Is He Fixed?

Consider the words of St. Augustine in 380 AD:

"As they were looking on, so we too gaze on his wounds as he hangs. We see his blood as he dies. We see the price offered by the redeemer, touch the scars of his resurrection. He bows his head, as if to kiss you. His heart is made bare open, as it were, in love to you. His arms are extended that he may embrace you. His whole body is displayed for your redemption. Ponder how great these things are. Let all this be rightly weighed in your mind: as he was once fixed to the cross in every part of his body for you, so he may now be fixed in every part of your soul."

Well is He? Have you fixated on Jesus? Is He consuming your thoughts? Your life?

What a glorious thing!

Secret Service Recap!

A quick recap of theTURN’s Secret Service Project that we did this past Saturday with SafeHouse Outreach in Atlanta, Ga!

It was amazing and exciting for me to hear the testimonies of TURN people who were blessed to have the opportunity to reach out in ways that they never have done before. Our team went to Atlanta to serve the city with SafeHouse from 9:30am – 3:00pm this past Saturday. We had 21 students that were in attendance this time. They served the people, most of which being homeless, lots of food throughout the day. They also helped to play a large role in clothes distribution to the people of the city.

Enjoy the pics and let's keep radiating the love of Christ!

Next Secret Service Saturday: Saturday, April 10! Mark it now....
