Billy Cole went on to be with the Lord.\u00c2\u00a0 On Tuesday, July 28th, Rev. Cory McCool went on to be with the Lord.<\/p>\n<p>I look at my previous post and see the stark difference in the feelings that I have on these days.\u00c2\u00a0 I see two awesome men of God.\u00c2\u00a0 Men of Faith!\u00c2\u00a0 That have lived their lives to the fullest, and sacrificed much in order to see God work in their lives. Although one was able to live life to a decent amount of years, another seemed to have gone too soon &#8211; at least in our eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Bro. Cole watched many received God&#8217;s spirit, all over the world!\u00c2\u00a0 He watched miraculous healings and shared with us many of those experiences to help lift our faith.\u00c2\u00a0 He was a visionary&#8230; he believed and God worked.\u00c2\u00a0 Whenever you heard the name Billy Cole, you expected to hear a praise report following.\u00c2\u00a0 A praise report of souls experiencing the infilling of the Holy Ghost for first time &#8211; by the thousands.\u00c2\u00a0 I will never forget the video&#8217;s of these events or\u00c2\u00a0 of the woman with the withered hand&#8230; being healed and seeing her hand stretch forth.\u00c2\u00a0 Bro. Cole has gone on to be with his maker, he is probably rejoicing around the throne, and now seeing the full picture of his ministry.<\/p>\n<p>Bro. Cory McCool, just typing his name in this post doesn&#8217;t seem quite right.\u00c2\u00a0 I am still expecting God to raise him.\u00c2\u00a0 I&#8217;m am still expecting.\u00c2\u00a0 I know regardless, if it is a revival of Cory, or if it is a revival of those that have been dead while alive&#8230; there will be a revival!\u00c2\u00a0 This young man of God was closer to home.\u00c2\u00a0 He was a pastor of one of our churches in Michigan.\u00c2\u00a0 God gave him a gift of singing.\u00c2\u00a0 An amazing voice, that now God is hearing in his own throne room.\u00c2\u00a0 I am overwhelmed at the faith he had as he battled cancer.\u00c2\u00a0 It was never about him, it was always about giving God the glory.\u00c2\u00a0 He never used his sickness to hold back from living for God, it was always about giving more, and more, and more.\u00c2\u00a0 This week is our Michigan District Campmeeting (family camp), for years Cory has led our services with worship.\u00c2\u00a0 For this to be the week that he goes on to his reward&#8230; is bittersweet.\u00c2\u00a0 We are joyful, yet so sad.\u00c2\u00a0 Happy for him, sad for those of us feeling his loss.<\/p>\n<p>Please keep his beautiful family in your prayers.\u00c2\u00a0 Jina and their 2 children.\u00c2\u00a0 Remember her in days, and months to come.\u00c2\u00a0 I pray that God fill her with peace that passes all understanding.\u00c2\u00a0 I can&#8217;t imagine the feelings she is experiencing.\u00c2\u00a0 To know that her husband was loved, and looked up to by many is comforting, but yet&#8230; he is no longer here with her.<\/p>\n<p>Take time to be with your family.\u00c2\u00a0 Show them how much you love them and care about them.\u00c2\u00a0 Let them see how special they are to you.\u00c2\u00a0 For&#8230; we don&#8217;t know what tomorrow holds.<\/p>\n<p>These are two men of faith, that have touched my life.\u00c2\u00a0 They have influenced me, with their wisdom, faithfulness, and dedication to the ONE they served.<\/p>\n<p>A couple weeks ago, the world lost two of theirs&#8230; this week, we have lost two of ours.<\/p>\n<p>The comparison&#8230; make up your own mind on that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Monday, July 27th, Rev.
