A weekend with Perry Stone
The Assemblies of God church located around the corner from my UMC church hosted a prophecy seminar this week. The guest speaker was Perry Stone. I’ve watched his TV show, Manna-Fest and really enjoyed his biblical teachings. So, when I heard he was coming, I made plans to attend.
I was only able to attend 3 of 9 sessions, but I purchased the CD of what I missed. Today is laundry and listening day.
I learned a lot, such as there are three types of time:
- Linear time – such as a timeline
- Horizontal time – spiritual time chronically your movement toward (and away from) God.
- Circular time – For example, every seven days is the Sabbath or history repeats itself
My 8 yr old son complained to me that he routinely woke up at 3:18AM and had trouble going back to sleep. At the conference (and my son attended with us), we learned the Jews believe God walks the earth every morning 2hrs before sunrise and binds satan. At 3AM, humans are most near God. We learned that Jesus routinely prayed during the 4th watch (3-6AM), and that many Jews still awaken 2 hrs before sunrise to pray. Jesus walked on water at 3AM!
I will never look at 3AM the same way again.
