HAVE YOU BEEN BETRAYED?

Yesterday was an awesome day for the Body of Christ.

The new Healing Place Church we just started in Mbabane, Swaziland, had a profound sweep of God's Spirit--every life was changed!

I have a sense that churches all over the world had a singular move of God yesterday.

Back here in America Jean and I were at Celebration Church, Georgetown, Texas--one of our favorites.

Pastor Joe Champion preached about dealing with betrayal--something each of us have faced or will face. One of the powerful points he made was the need to understand that when we are betrayed we, indeed, enter into one of the deepest relationships we can have with Jesus. He knows what betrayal is.

The "Fellowship of His suffering" becomes more than a phrase in a scripture. It is a closer level of intimacy with the Son of God.

And Christ's words and actions demand that we forgive the betrayer.
