Josh and Regine Brady

JOSH AND REGINE HAVE COME TO WORK ALONG SIDE OUR CREW. Welcome guys!

Josh and Regine Brady

  Josh has previously worked in youth ministry at UrbanPromise in Camden, NJ for 13 years.  Camden has been reported to be the poorest city in America and once again ranked the most dangerous city in America in 2014.  Josh brings his years of experience working in the inner city and seeing powerful moves of God.  

  During Josh's time working at UrbanPromise, he attended Palmer Seminary (associated with Eastern University)  and graduated with his Master's of Divinity.  Josh's background in working in ministry and being mentored and influenced by Bruce Main (President of UrbanPromise) and taught by Tony Campolo (Christian author and speaker)  gives him a tremendous heart for the poor and marginalized.  He has also been influenced and prayed for by many great pastors and ministers who move powerfully in the Holy Spirit including Bill Johnson, Randy Clark, and Heidi Baker and believes the impact of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross is meant to transform all who invites Jesus Christ into their lives and ask the Holy Spirit to heal them.

  Regine worked as a teacher at classical Christian schools in Arizona and Texas and has an extremely creative style of teaching her students. She has also attended and graduated from the Global School of Supernatural Ministry associated with Randy Clark.  She has a variety of gifts and callings in the areas of faith, healing and prophecy.  As She ministers to women she has seen many who have different addictions and strongholds experience God move powerfully and do some amazing miracles in their lives.  Regine is also amazing with youth and helps them realize who they are in God and models what it means to pray bold prayers and experience God's miraculous power.  Regine also loves power evangelism and is known for her boldness in praying for people and seeing God show up in healing and delivering people.

  Josh and Regine believe it is impossible to hear the voice of The Lord or experience God's presence and not be changed.  They are excited to help people come into an intimate relationship with God and learn to hear and obey God's voice and value God's presence in their lives.


Power Evangelism

  This class is designed to encourage and train people in how to step out in faith to see miracles, signs, and wonders in their daily lives.  We will teach a Biblical model for healing and prophetic ministry and continue to press into greater encounters with God. In this class, the time will be divided between learning about healing and prophecy and then going out to the streets and praying for people as well as being challenged to pray for people throughout the week.  The Berean call says, "May the lamb that was slain receive the reward of His suffering." These were missionaries giving their life for the Gospel so people would encounter God.  This class will help believers step out in faith to see people healed and delivered through bold prayers of faith, which is what Jesus paid for on the cross.  John Wimber spelled faith: "R-I-S-K" and we will experience God's delight and encounter His goodness as we share the Gospel not just with words but signs and wonders and miracles.
You can always tell the size of a man's faith based on the size of the problem that it takes to discourage him.
Our assignment is to invade the impossible – those things that cannot be accomplished WITHOUT God!!

Remembering my plastic watch

What's the big deal?
You say Jesus is alive again, so what?
That was a long time ago.
What's your proof there buddy?

I'm sitting in Arby's drinking coffee and watching the rain. I'm remembering different events in my life—the morning I was in Waffle House and I looked at my plastic Casio watch. (I found a blog entry I wrote about it):

'Wednesday July 25, 2007 after our Vineyard service, Patsy and I were to take Tammy and Clay R. to see the backyard at the house we hope to buy. (The view was nice at night.) We're waiting with them at the skating rink parking lot with two of their boys. The boys are there to meet some of their friends. Charlie R. is 11 (I think) and out of the blue he asked me, "Mister Jim has God being doing anything lately?" Patsy says, "Tell him about your watch." "Charlie, late in June I'm reading a book one morning at the Waffle House. (The book was Tortured Wonders) I stop and start to note the date in the margin. I look at my old Casio DataBank watch, which is digital, and it reads '6-40- -' (no year). Man, my watch has finally had it. I'm able to reset it and it corrects itself to '6-20-07'. I tried to make the watch show '40' again or '- -' for no year. It only showed real dates. I make a note in the margin listing both dates. I try looking up anything I can in the Scriptures that would involve 6:40. I had counted 40 days from June 20th. Nothing seems to connect. I call my wife and tell her about it. She thinks it is spiritual and wished I had brought the watch home and showed her. 'Sorry. It didn't seem that important only interesting."' Charlie and S. P., 14, start working on a meaning. A few minutes later S.P. says, "Mister Jim, I think it is exactly what the watch said: June 40th. Let's see... That would be... July 10th." Patsy leans up in the seat and says, "Isn't that the day you saw the cloud on top of the mountain and drove up there and the house was for sale?" "Yes, it was." She leans up again. "How about photocopying the passage in the book you were reading when you dated it 6-40- - ." I checked the book the next day. In the next paragraph after I had dated my first reading for the day with 6-20 and also 6-40- - author Rodney Clapp writes on page 170: "...Our real home is a destination, the renewed heaven and earth." He continues to write about home here and our heavenly home.

What do you think?

I think that after 19 months of asking for direction 'validation' came. It comes after we had moved on what we thought and felt was the thing to do. We had peace but no noticeable word from the LORD. But He had spoken. He had already giving a token sign on June 20th about July 10th. 

In the Bible donkeys talk and axe heads float. In my life plastic watches give prophetic words.'

You say Jesus came back alive and ate some fish with his disciples—that seems so normal in this supernaturally natural life.
