A New Message!


"And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak." (Ephesians 6:17-20)

"Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching." (2 Timothy 4:2)

Hello Superfriends,

It is your friendly neighborhood Mr. Bilson. I need a little hand. I'll be doing another message for a convention down in Cali this weekend. I need some prayer. It has been awhile since the last time I preached and so I can use any prayers you can muster. I love fulfilling my God ordained destiny. It seems like I'm always are arm stretch from doing what I'm really called to do. God is changing that and I want to make the most of the opportunity! Thanks for everything.


"... woe is me if I do not preach the gospel!" (1 Corinthians 9:16)

"Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil." (Ephesians 4:15)

Mistakes


If you don't learn from your mistakes, there's no sense making them!

Good by Calgary!







We left Calgary with the beautiful sight of Banff Alberta. It was breathtaking! God carved out all that on his easel. It reminded me of a Bible verse:

"Part your heavens, O LORD, and come down;
touch the mountains, so that they smoke." (Psalm 144:5)

We left the city feeling, nurtured, refreshed and ready for the next adventure. But it wasn't about how we feel. It wasn't about us! It was about serving the King! It was an awesome weekend and one to remember. They'll more events where we take back more ground for the kingdom. Calgary was just one city on a new trek. They'll be many more!

"... blessed are the people whose God is the LORD." (Psalm 144:15)

" And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force." (Matthew 11:12)

The Friends.






We had many friends show up as well. There is R and M and JC from SAGC! We were able to re connect for a few seconds. God brought some new people along our path. S was our host and he gave us an excellent time. I get a kick out of him! I'm glad for such awesome people on this path. They make life so exhilerating!

" And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers." (Acts 2:42)

Sim J


Sim J led the worship. We are blessed with such high calibre worship leaders at PMC. She is one of them. She has come along way! The journey hasn't ended yet! There is more to be had! I wonder where God's path will lead her twenty, thirty years from now! Who knows? I got a phone call from Pastor J who really commended her! I wish she heard it herself! Praise God! I hope she'll impart here awesome talent into others! It will really make her shine!

" Even so you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, let it be for the edification of the church that you seek to excel." (1 Cor 14:12)

"In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven." (Matt 5:16)

Signs and Wonders!


The meetings were not short on signs and wonders. One lady asked for prayer and she was in such pain. She couldn't walk! I was absolutely broken hearted when I saw the tears in her eyes. She was in alot of pain. We prayed and she began to walk. Here tears of sadness became tears of joy. I was speechless. It was amazzzing!

Another group renewed their commitment to Christ. Than there was the man who's arm got healed. He was able to raise it up again. We are not short on signs and wonders when the Spirit is around. But nothing beats salvation! Absolutely nothing!

" Those who sow in tears
will reap with songs of joy.

He who goes out weeping,
carrying seed to sow,
will return with songs of joy,
carrying sheaves with him."

(Psalm 126:5-6)

RG






Who can forget RG. He is the worship Pastor at PMC! His voice is nothing less than extraordinary. He gets invites all over the place, BIG job offers and the rest but would put it all aside to obey his call at PMC! He is humble, patient, shrewd, warm, hospitable and a church father here at PMC. I love him to pieces and really look up to him. His worship sends you to heaven! He is a father to so many people! He did everything to rise us up and put us ahead of himself. He doesn't hijack meetings but serves at them!

I thank God for him!

"

1 Praise the LORD. [a]
Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heavens.

2 Praise him for his acts of power;
praise him for his surpassing greatness.

3 Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,
praise him with the harp and lyre,

4 praise him with tambourine and dancing,
praise him with the strings and flute,

5 praise him with the clash of cymbals,
praise him with resounding cymbals.

6 Let everything that has breath praise the LORD.
Praise the LORD." (Psalm 150)

Dav










Dav did the preaching for the meetings. He was nothing less than excellent. I've really learned to love this Man of God and his wive and multiple kids. I just heard a story from a friend of his who talked about how Dav totally helped him out. He's done the same for me and other people close to me. He is a dynamic and colorful man. I'm glad he is apart of PMC and my life! God bless him!

34"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'

37"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'

40"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.' (Matthew 25)

Pastor J



Here is Pastor J and his wife and Alex. He is unlike many pastors I've met. He is more interested in reaching the nations! Not just one but all nations. I was touched by his humility and service of faith. What was more exhilerating is that he is not to dignified to have a laugh. I rejoice when I see Pastor who are not kill joys! To many Christians are! He isn't one of them! He is for real!

" Yes, and if I am being poured out as a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all." (Phillippians 2:17)

"For My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations." (Isaiah 56:7)

Alex


Alex is one of the men of God at the church. He is from Mumbai and is humble, sincere, serving and just incredibly godly. He reminds me of Kruppa! These are true men of God with no ounce of pride or ego to get in the way of things. He is such an inspiration. To add, he decided to pray and fast for us on Sat. It was a God filled meeting. He was the one who called on God to electrify it! God bless you bro and please marry my cousin!

"The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much." (James 5:16)

The Intercessors!

Meet the Intercessors! They prayed for the meetings, city, churches, and everything in between. Some even sowed in tears. It was a great breakthrough! There is more to come! So much can be accomplished through prayer! We haven't even uncovered the tip of the iceberg!

" Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;" (Philippians 4:6)

Moogers!





Here is Moogers. She is another team player! She did the back work alongside J-Flow. It includes Power pt, multimedia and now moving on to audio. These are vital ministries and she has decided to rise up to the call!

"I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." (Phil 3:14)

Meet the team





You can see J-Flow who did an awesome job driving and doing the thankless, anonymous work no one sees.

G is the backbone for the worship team who is fully equipped at changing keys and has really learned to serve. *phish has improved his drumming talents in leaps and bounds. What a team!

""Be careful not to do your 'acts of righteousness' before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven." (Matt 6:1)

The Team Departs


I was so thrilled that the team made it on time to depart for a ten hour trek through the mountains to Calgary! We manage to find the rental place and start our journey!

"After this the Lord appointed seventy-two, others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go" (Luke 10:1)

Hello Mr. Bilson Blogaholics!

  • Unity of the whole group
  • Against short tempers, negative attitudes and selfishness
  • Focus on Jesus and nothing and no one else
  • Joy in the Spirit
  • Release of God's power and truth in each meeting
  • Non Christians to come to the Lord

Seattle



Mr. Bilson just came back from Seattle today! It is a familiar town for him because allot of his all time favorite bands in his BC (Before Christ) days are from this fine city. Who can forget Pearl Jam and Soundgarden and Nirvana to name a few. Mr. Bilson told his bro that he was off and that he'd be going to Mercer Island which is the home of Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain. He was planning to light a couple of candles and remember Kurt's life.

In case you are too young to know who these generation X'ers are, Kurt Cobain was the 'spokes person' of Mr. Bilson's generation. He was a rock star who killed himself at gun point at the peak of his career. It shocked the world and his generation who identified with his bleak outlook at life. He was a musical innovator who changed the face of music forever and is a legend for his talent. He was also a massive Heroin addict.

Mr. Bilson told his bro, A-Bomb that he was on my way to Seattle! A-Bomb who is always full of fresh humor told Bilson not to forget to lie a bag of drugs by the grave. Very Funny!

But than something interesting happened on the way to Seattle. Mr. Bilson flipped the dial to see what was on the air waves. It was as song called, "Lithium" by Kurt himself. He started to groove to the tune when all of a sudden it hit Him!

Things have changed now. The dead, depressed, empty, frustrated teenager of Mr. Bilson's yestur years has been buried in the waters of baptism risen to a new life! An abundant life. Now the bleak outlook of Kurt and the gang hold no more meaning because the old things are gone and behold all things have become new. Mr. Bilson is a new creation in Christ. He is created for greater things. He will be living life for the creator instead. Life has meaning and purpose now. Everything is different, better, real! It is time to tell the world! Look out world. Here comes Mr.Bilson!

"Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." (Phillipians 3:12-14)
