THE DAY LIZ PENCE ROARED

Liz Pence strode into Tulsa to roar....well really for three days....at the Tulsa Workshop. She is fantastic.

She is a typical wonder-story of God. Her messages are so freshly-spirited some want to call her Paulette resembling the passion of her counterpart; the apostle Paul. Liz is that persuasive.

Liz hasn't always roared with such presentation strength. Until most recently, she struggled mightily to deliver without wear and tear of her nerves. A friend observed her stressful efforts a few months back and offered a couple of ideas.

What is interesting about Liz is she is as moldable in the Spirit as she is convicting in her teachings. Liz is the true heart of a servant; she simply wants to do it kingdomly well.

John 3:8 insists one led by the Spirit is one who must be graciously moldable. If we are Spirit-filled we are to be flexible. Adjustments are for us to be as turning on a dime. Not all of us can do this well. I'm just now learning.

But Liz did it. She made necessary adjustments, came to Tulsa, and let out the most wonderful roar in the Spirit! She has always been fantastic and is becoming even more fantasticker!

And you...you will do well as will I to be like roaring Liz...to grow in the ability to change all we can from rigidity to pliability. This isn't easy. It is why it takes the Holy Spirit of God to work it into us.

Practice it. Try it. Begin to roar!

Roar? At Liz's last class she also took to the air and FLEW! She took the suffering of any and all of us in the classroom and showed us how powerfully God works within it...and the Spirit was the wind beneath her wings!
