'Cause our love will stand tall as the trees
Our love will spread wide as the seas
Our love will shine bright in the night
like the stars above
And we'll always be together, our love
~ Excerpt from, "Our Love" by Natalie Cole
Years ago, I was invited to a leadership conference and Pastor Edwin Moore, was the guest speaker. His message that day is one that has stayed with me. He used a plant to illustrate the Word he was sent to speak and that Word not only spoke to my situation at the time, but it also spoke to my heart.
A few years later, while over the Singles Ministry, I was given the charge to host a luncheon. Since it was the beginning of the year, I made it a leadership luncheon and invite Pastor Moore as the speaker. I will never forget how excited I was when I received his acceptance, while at the train station on my way to work and was like a little kid, who opened their gift on Christmas. Let’s just say, folk were looking at me crazy after I read his acceptance. But, I digress.
It was also at this luncheon, that I had the pleasure and opportunity to meet Pastor Renae. I had mistaken her for a member of their congregation and was pulled aside and informed that she was his wife. Imagine my embarrassment.
Years later, after moving back to Cleveland, from Nashville, I was invited to a Prayer Conference where Pastor Renae Moore was on the line-up to pray for the Body of Christ, who were in attendance. The power and authority in her voice, as she cast down demons and demonic activity, had me seeking that same power from the Lord.
