Having fellowship with like minded
believers, getting deliverance, hearing teachings, being prayed for,
and singing songs to the Lord Jesus were all great things to do on a
vacation.
Pastor Kyle and his wife Linda were
the hosts of the conference, and it was being held at their church called the Oasis Church. The guests included: the
Colonel, Steve Quayle, and Pastor Nickie Pinson. There were about 30
people who showed up, and most came everyday for the 6 days it was
held.
The people came from all over the
country, from Texas, Pennsylvania, N. Dakota, Idaho, and Oregon –
to name a few. It was a blessing to meet the ones God wanted us to
meet and be there with everyone. We collected contact information
from about 5 families, and have been in touch with most of these.
My wife and I also went to the White
Stone Remnant conference in Bozeman, MT a couple years before, where
Pastor Kyle and Linda spoke as well. At the time, this conference was
a blessing, but this deliverance conference was more to the heart of
what's needed today: spiritual warfare. Deliverance, healing, and the
gifts of God operating in our lives.

There was good teachings by Pastor
Kyle, Linda, the Colonel, and Pastor Pinson – and there was a few
groups of worship leaders leading us in singing before each session.
There were two sessions a day and three one day. Nearly every service
there was mass deliverance, as well as a couple services were people
were prayed for to receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost.
Pastor Pinson, to my wife and I, was the
biggest blessing of the entire conference. His humility and closeness
to Jesus and no nonsense teachings were appreciated greatly. He was
also very kind and attentive to people to pray for them. In one
session nearly everyone came up to be prayed for by Pastor Pinson, as
he prophesied over some, cast demons out of others, and prayed for
healing with others.
My wife was nearly first in line
getting prayer, and Pastor Pinson prayed right to her heart and
blessed her. I was reluctant to get prayer at first, thinking I'm
fine...but with my wife's encouragement I went in line and Pastor
Pinson prayed for me. He ended up saying a powerful word for my life,
a prophetic word. He started out saying a scripture, which is about
my favorite and maybe the biggest compelling scripture that led me
back to Jesus Christ. Here it is:
1 Corinthians 1:27 But God hath chosen
the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath
chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are
mighty; 28 And base things of the world, and things which are
despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to
nought things that are: 29 That no flesh should glory in his
presence.
Now, Pastor Pinson didn't know me or
my wife at all before this conference, and we'd only talked to say
hello when he first arrived. Yet, he spoke the scripture closest to
my heart, and then went on to say I'm called to preach and am going
to be a powerful man of God – not by my power, but by Jesus
Christ's power...
The prophecy was longer than this, but
this was the main substance of what God spoke through him. I receive
this prophecy, although it surprised me and I haven't formally
thought about being a preacher. From what I've seen and examined of
Pastor Pinson, he is a real man of God and has a gift of prophecy and
a fear of the Lord. I'll put a link to his ministry and YouTube below this post.
My wife and I were blessed to be there
among the believers, but Pastor Pinson really made the conference
real to us. He saw me like no other man of God has, he
respected me and talked to me differently than any other person ever
has. My wife and I were both impressed with his humility and
lowliness, and how this correlated with a profound love of Jesus
coupled with a deep fear of God.
The other part of the conference we
enjoyed had to do with my brother, which sorta lives in Montana.
We've been working on helping my brother come closer to Jesus for years,
and he'd been through a lot since we'd seen him last two years before
at the other conference mentioned.

My brother is now living in Arizona,
but was coming through Billings to get some matters taken care of in
Montana. The timing God set was perfect, as he flew in the last day
of the conference. He came to our hotel after the last meeting and we
had a blessed visit in the Lord Jesus Christ. My wife and I had
visited my niece (his daughter) on the way to the conference a week
before, and this touched my brother's heart and we saw how God was
working mightily in his heart to bring him to repentance and faith in
Jesus.
This is making a long story short you
could say, but it does give a bit of what we experienced on our
latest trip to Montana. I guess we and these people at this
conference are peculiar people for wanting to spend our vacation at a
deliverance conference, but really we wouldn't have it any other way.
People may think drugs, alcohol, and things of the flesh are what
makes a vacation exciting – really these only bring pain,
suffering, and sorrow in the end.
The drive was very beautiful,
especially through eastern Oregon. We had a blessed trip checking out
all the small towns and the wonderful countryside. The only ugly
parts are the big cities full of craziness...

The pictures you see here are some of
the ones we took on this drive, on our wonderful vacation trip to
Billings, MT. God met us there and honored our efforts, using Pastor
Pinson to speak directly to our hearts and having fellowship with
such wonderful people.
