Road Report 2-22-2007 Ben Peters Feb 23, 2007

Greetings Saints,

It's 2-22-2007. While driving today I looked at the car's digital clock. It read 2:22. We know that Isaiah 22:22 talks about the key of David so we can shut and no man open or open and no man shut. But I also checked some 2:22's in the Bible. Several speak of fruitfulness, blessings and revival, like Joel 2:22. But my favorite is Mark 2:22, and Mark is also book #2 in the New Testament.

Jesus said in Mark 2:22, "No man puts new wine in an old wineskin." Instead he needs a new wineskin for the new wine. Tonight's speakers (Gary and Sarah Morgan) at the IAM conference here in Dover, Florida, spoke on dressing for the season and realizing we are in a "Kingdom season", not a traditional "my ministry" season. God is encouraging us to get ready for the New Wine and get rid of the old brittle wineskins that have already served their purpose.

QUICK REPORT OF PAST TWO WEEKS

The conference in Idaho was off the charts. We were so blessed to take in some of the best worship and speaking available anywhere. Every meeting was an adventure. Many people were healed and we were all tremendously encouraged and challenged to pursue Jesus with more passion and believe for the greatest harvest ever. We met many wonderful people and renewed some old friendships. It was great to spend some time with Kari Browning, Shawn Bolz and Paula Benne, as well as so many others. We also so enjoyed Shawn and Paula's interview with Akiana, the child genius artist and poet.

Last Sunday I ministered to New Covenant Church in Spokane, pastored by Jim Leuschen. What a sweet time we had! The message of keys to revival in the west was so well received. Much love was flowing.

After spending a few days with family in Washington, including Brenda's dad, who amazingly is somewhat improved from last November and is now able to feed himself and speak a little, etc., we flew into Florida and are now attending our International Apostolic Ministries Annual Convening. We again are have a precious time with dear friends, like Dr. Bob Paeglow, from Albany, NY, and many other friends as well. Tomorrow, I will be co-teaching a session on book-writing with Jeff Doles, which I will enjoy doing very much.
