Hey Folks,
In a last-minute unexpected turn of events, my Mom, siblings and I all ended up getting the opportunity to attend the Orlando Prophecy Watchers conference last weekend...and boy did it feel like drinking water from a fire hose! With hour-long sessions stacked throughout the entire day, interrupted only by short pauses between speakers and breaks for lunch and supper, it was an intense but incredible weekend at the Florida Hotel.
One blessing, of so many, was being able to finally meet Pastor Billy Crone, a wonderful pastor and teacher several of us big kids have been listening to for years. Way back in September, we stopped by the church he pastors in Las Vegas (the only reason we went to Vegas, mind you) only to find out that he was traveling overseas. So, much to our disappointment, we weren't able to meet him or listen to his teaching/preaching in person. Now here we were in Orlando, Florida, spontaneously attending a Bible prophecy conference that God opened the door to for us, and finally getting to meet Pastor Billy, albeit a long ways away from his home church that we visited.
As the pictures will attest, Pastor Billy is known for his fun suit-coats...wearing a different coat when hanging out Friday night, teaching Saturday morning, and then for his second session on Saturday evening. If you aren't familiar with Pastor Billy, I would highly recommend checking him out at Get A Life Media. One of the topics he addressed this weekend was the often avoided, but hugely important topic of UFO's, aliens, and spiritual warfare. Definitely not a light teaching to sit through, but an issue that is increasingly affecting today's culture.
We learned so much information about end-times prophecy in the Bible, and the direction our nation (and world) is headed. It's all right there in Scripture. While it seems our world is falling apart around us, things are really just falling into place. I wish I could summarize what we saw and learned, but it would be impossible. Instead, I have some photos of slides that stood out to me, and I will list a few of our favorite speakers from the weekend. You'd be better off listening to their teaching directly instead of reading any paltry synopsis I might attempt.
We left the summit with a much better understanding of end-times, our world's direction, and an appreciation for prophecy as a whole. We know we cannot predict when the Rapture is going to happen, but as our world darkens with each passing day, we are left to wonder 'how long, O Lord?' Many of the teachers at the summit this weekend believe that it's got to be getting close. I pray that they are correct...but if it is, then time is short for those who do not yet know Christ. Our job as believers is to shine the light of Christ into the lives of those around us while we bide our time, awaiting His call to come home.
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20
Until next time, God bless!
