Whether you believe in the prophetic word or not, you are
sure to find the following sound bite just a little bit “coincidental.”
Starts slow but hang in there!
The terrible 2007 wildfires of Southern California began burning
on October 20th. This prophetic word was given on September 8th!
The Spirit has revealed this:
“As it is in the spiritual, so it is in the natural.”
Let us think it not strange for God has always dealt with mankind in this way.
To “revive” something means to make it alive again. It infers that a thing has
previously been “vived,” if there were such a word.
Many are saying that the American Workplace is experiencing a revival as we speak.
Has there been a revival in the workplaces of America ever before?
In the 1850’s, America was prosperous and feeling little need for God. The embers
of previous Great Awakenings were starting to fade. We were no longer calling upon
God. We were too busy. Too affluent. Thousands of Americans were disillusioned with
Christianity. William Miller, a New England farmer, had captured nationwide
attention with his prediction that Christ would return on October 22nd, 1844. When
nothing happened, many abandoned their faith.
One of my favorite things about Organic Church groups is the diversity
of the attendees within each group. Though I’m certain there are exceptions,
we’d have to look long and hard to find a Methodist House Church or a
group that consists exclusively of Episcopalians, for example. Our own
Texas group has included Baptists, Catholics, Lutherans and Pentecostals,
former as well as active members.
Sadly, I HAVE heard of groups that began bickering about this or that and
wound up splitting, weakening, or closing down their group. Of course,
In case you’ve been living in a cave the past week, you might appreciate
knowing that nearly a MILLION people have been evacuated from
their homes in California. In addition, there’s a drought in the
Southeastern United States as all those hurricanes that were predicted
for this year failed to deposit the usual, much-needed water. The Dow
is down today as a result of the housing market dropping another 8%.
High gas prices, Iran’s nukes, the war on terrorism, global warming,
on-line child predators… the talking heads of the news networks are
I am blessed and amazed that this online ministry BLOG is receiving

I am amazed whenever individuals find this online ministry worthy of
their hard-earned money. God bless you for that! Not only are people
sending Love Offerings directed to support the many ministers that I am
mentoring throughout the nations, but others have seen fit to simply sow
their seed in the direction of this ministry so that I can focus my attention
on writing…and writing…and writing. Fact is, people from all across the
Earth are hitting my website, BLOG and other web pages by the thousands
The following article blessed me as I read it. I hope it blesses you, too. It’s by Molong Nucua who is planting Simple Churches in the Philippines amidst 1.6 million below poverty and something called dengue fever which is affecting the children. They need mosquito netting and medicine. Can you help? Write him at: molong.nacua@gmail.com

Dancing in the Flames: The Lost Art of Suffering
TESTIMONIAL: “I have just finished reading “Dancing in the Flames.”
I was very impressed. I thought it was a masterful treatment of a difficult
but necessary theme. I love the passion and personal touches, but it
is also extremely clear and lucid. And concise. A lot of Christian
books seem far too long…it’s as if the author had enough of an
idea for a valid booklet, but felt constrained to expand the material
into a book. You didn’t. Good discipline.
Michael Tummillo, a nondenominational Workplace Chaplain from Stephenville, Texas, has earned “Expert Author” status with a popular website called “EzineArticles.com.” He received “Platinum Author” status on August 04, 2005. Since his first submission was accepted by the site on May 26, 2006, Tummillo has published 172 articles to the site resulting in nearly 70,000 views.
A friend recently asked if I had any information written down that he
could pass along to friends in business that could benefit from having
a Workplace Chaplain.
Yes! I have information explaining to interested parties the current
Faith @ Work Movement among American Business and Industry
as well as specifics about myself. It can be found on a page off my website:

Thanks for passing this along to your Christian friends and business associates!

If I’ve heard this kind of thing once, I’ve heard it a thousand times. The
talented musicians are often the main draw for many church attendees.
I once heard a man who taught music at a Christian college speaking on
what he called a “counterfeit anointing.” He explained that the loud
decibel levels used by many churches during worship is enough to raise
goose bumps and cause many to “feel” differently. What’s referred to,
he explained, as “the anointing” is merely physiological changes occurring
within the body when exposed to really loud music. If you’ve ever sat

This is a VERY humbling thing to do but I am not asking for myself. I can imagine how Paul felt asking for help when famine was devastating the saints in Jerusalem. As you may know, I am in constant communication with ministers all over the planet. Currently, there are 10 ministers who have recently made a desperate plea for financial assistance. I have come to know these men. Robert Fitts and other friends were the first to introduce us via email. We have swapped photos of crusades and families, orphanages and testimonies. After several pleas for financial assistance, I have encouraged them all to contact Franklin Graham’s Samaritan’s Purse ministry and I’m proof-reading the proposals of several of these men right now in an effort to assist them. Hopefully, they’ll eventually qualify for aid. Eventually. Unfortunately, with limited access to computers and lacking confidence in their English-speaking skills, and with so many in need of their help, I’m sure these men find it difficult to rationalize taking the time for beaurocracy when so many need their assistance all around them. I can imagine priorities shifting quickly when surrounded by devastation. People are dying. Fever, snake and insect bites, hunger, cold…in Kenya, floods have caused mud huts to collapse, killing entire families. In the Philippines, it’s malaria. Nigeria, Ghana, Rwanda…they each have their own unique problems. The main problem? The wealthier members of Body of Christ across the planet have been given so many reasons NOT to help that we’ve forgotten why we SHOULD. Previous pleas for financial aid have yielded a mere $700 ($500 from one man). I have received messages justifying things like cynicism, skepticism, the importance of good stewardship with God’s money, the need to care for those locally before we assist any others, etc. A few have asked to have their names taken off my eMail list. All this while our brothers and sisters are dying and struggling. Civil war, tribal disputes, well-financed Muslims competing with them for converts…these people are trying to spread the Gospel and share Christ in the worst of circumstances. Pray about this if you haven’t already. Do WE want THEIR efforts credited to our heavenly account? By all means, obey the Holy Spirit. But if you’re GOING to help..and EVERY little bit HELPS…please do so via PayPal.com by the end of the day Monday the 21st so I can go to Western Union and send money. In fact, do it NOW…PayPal.com Join Barbara and me in sending aid and encouragement to these godly, wonderful people on Monday. Thank you so very much! If you prefer to send funds directly, just ask. If you prefer to give to Samaritan’s Purse so you can write-off your gift, click here: www.samaritanspurse.org . Every blessing, Michael Tummillo A servant of God |
A man is diagnosed with an incurable, hereditary spinal disease at age 28. He’s
told that he would be an invalid by age 50. In pain, walking with a cane, trying to
sleep in a sitting positions, he moves to Stephenville in 2001 to get closer to his
children so they can assist him. Today, at age 47, he’s remodeling homes and
living an active life.

the Twenty-somethings.
In 2004, I had the distinct privilege of spending one-on-one and small-group
time alone with some kids from the local university of 8,000 students. We did
this in Sunday evenings at six o’clock. On several occasions, we virtually
spotlighted particular individuals as the Lord allowed, not only me, but all of
us, to minister in different ways to that night’s “favored” student. There were
Have you read or heard of a book entitled “The World Café: Shaping
Our Futures Through Conversations That Matter”? From their
website, I found this synopsis: “Authors Juanita Brown and David Isaacs
introduce readers to this simple yet powerful conversational process for
thinking together, evoking collective intelligence, and creating actionable
results. World Café principles and processes have been used
successfully over the past decade with organizations and communities
on six continents.”
Many others had their own glowing praise reports on the book. Peter Block,
author of Stewardship and The Answer to How Is Yes, said, “This book is
Here are some of the latest eMail replies that have been received regarding
the upcoming “His Church @ Work”kick-off gathering, noon, Oct 15th in
Dublin, Texas. I’ve had several others tell me they were coming by phone
and in person. Add to that the Procrastinators, the Wait ‘n Seers and the
Walk-In’s.
Read these and consider how many OTHERS are awaiting an opportunity like

A few days ago, I received a message from a woman who wrote requesting prayer.
She said that her husband said he didn’t love her any more and that he wanted a
divorce.
Sunday morning, as I was leaving the local radio station, I saw a friend in the
parking lot. He’s a local minister and he had just finished broadcasting his program.
He told me about a couple we both know that has been separated. Apparently, she
has decided that she doesn’t love him any more.
Following is the response from the Kenyan minister (named Sabila) who
testified of God delivering many from the bonds of immorality by way of
a prayer I had emailed him which he had the people recite at a conference.
A subsequent prayer from that church’s pastor revealed his surprise that
so many - even in leadership - were in need of deliverance in this area.
Sabila writes:
Yes,God did. Any material that has come into contact with the anointed
carries with it the Anointing. I have received several phone calls from
